un-American policy of the president he
was recalled, but, though a democrat,
was reappointed by President Harrison.

Maine. He has been a democrat, and
was vice-consul at Liverpool and con-

Cleveland administration. He was
then a bright young man, protection

demonstrated the existence of these
qualities by resisting the schemes of
Germany and England to Dust the

THE Washington county board of road
commissioners held a meeting at the grand
Jury room in the Court House last Monday
forenoon and afternoon, at which subjects
pertinent to road improvement were dis
cussed. The members of the state board of
highway commissioner were present and
there was a good attendance of road COM
mlssioners from Washington and Orange
counties. Interesting exhibits illustrating
road material, defects in roads, the process
OF construction, road machinery and high
way bridges were shown. At the afternoon
session M. @. Flanders Of Tunbridge and
H. +. Martin Of Marshfield gave their ex-
perience in building gravel roads with clay
bottom. The experiment has proved very
satisfactory with them. Professor Votey Of
burlington gave an interesting talk OF an
hour or more. He illustrated clearly the
distinction between permanent and non
permanent roads, and said that there was
hardly a state in the Union that was not
turning its attention to good permanent
roads. In Massachusetts $4,000 was ex-
pended last year by the state in macadam
roads, and that state will this year expend
$6Oo,OCo for the same purpose. Professor
Votey sketched the work don't by the state
board during the past three years, since the
labor tax was abolished, which has been
largely in the line of educating the road COM
mlssioners and town officials in expanding
road money to the best advantage, leading to
future legislation and future improvements.
m has plenty of gravel with which
roads can be built which will be sufficient
for most country road travel. Professor
Votey explained the different methods of
putting material into roads and spoke OF the
importance of grades and drainage. The
work OF reducing grades is one of the pre-
Hminaries OF permanent road building. He
also spoke of the means Of maintaining per-
manent roads after they are built and ad-
vised every road commissioner to purchase
a road roller. Where steam rollers cannot
be had a horse roller does very effective
work. In closing, he advocated setting out
shade-trees on the roadside to hold moisture
In the roads, az well as for the comfort of
horses and the convenience of travellers.
After the meeting adjourned those present
inspected the steam roller ON Barre street.

Application of Carbon DIsulphlde.

Fl. e. Weed of the Mississippi expert
ment station reports to The Farmers
Review simple and effective method
of applying carbon bisulphide as rem
edy to weevil in grain. 1t consists in
simply pouring tie liquid over the top
of the grain. He says: "This is but the
work of moment, and applied in this
way the effect is greater, as by this
means all the bisulphide used evaporates
at once, forming a more poisonous at
mosphere than would be the case where
the bisulphide is put into open dishes
md left TO slowly evaporate. For three
years past we have found this method
decidedly the best in our work at this
station"

a strong desire to become master of the

Cutting Coarse Fodder.

The Maine station compared the value
OF chopped and unchopped hay for cows
and found 10 evidence that tho chopping
had any effect. Cutting corn stover was
found advantageous at the Wisconsin
station. Tho Indiana station found that
steers made better gains on cut than on
uncut clover hay. In reference to cut
ting coarse fodder Professor Henry says !:
There should be good feed cutter on
every dairy farm, useful for silo filling
in the fall and for chatting feed in the
winter. All cornstalks should be put
through this machine, for then they nre
in better condition for feeding. and the
coarser portions left uneaten are in good
form for bedding and the manure heap.
Long cornstalks are q nuisance in the
feeding manger, worthless for bedding
and Troublesome III the manure pile.
Many farmers find difficulty in feeding
cut corDstalks, since sometimes the COWS
refuse to eat them. IN few cases we
have found that the sharp ends Of the
cornstalks when cut certain lengths in
jure the mouths of the COWS. When they
are not we'll eaten, tie cause is often
due 10 overlooking or endeavoring to
have the COWS live OIL too limited va
riety CT foods Keep tho managers clean
and feed the cut fodder with care, and
usually very littlo win be left over, and
that cnly tho coarsest portion. Expert
ments at the Wisconsin station show
that with tho varieties of corn fodder
raised there much more of the cut stalks
will be eaten thun if fed uncut under
the same conditions.

SUPPLEMENTAL IRRIGATION.
II Appears TO 10 n Necessity For Some

n Appears 60 10 Necessity For Some Of
the Most Fertile States.
The drought of last season and its
disastrous effects for The farmors Of the
central western states, together with the
reports of successful results on an irri-
gated farm near KanIakee, Ills, have
combined to create Widespread inter-
est among farm owners and farm work
ers. AS reported upon by Tie Irrigation
Age, tho irrigated farm alluded to made
n practical gain of $3.50 per aero for the
small outlay for the irrigating plant.
When asked for his opinion rs to the
future Of irrigation, superintendent Ga
pon, who suggested and assisted in car
rying out the innovation, is reported as
saying:
II believe there will bo larger
number of farms irrigated east of the
one hundredth meridian than west of il.
/ SEQ no reason why farmers should sit
idly by and sec their crops ruined by
droughts. In this climate should say
that two irrigations during tho season
would be necessary, though, Of course,
this would depend OH the amount Of
rain. call my system supplemental
irrigation, as it is intended to supple
ment the rainfall Almost any farmer
who possesses well or spring can, for
small cost, comparatively, insure his
crops against dry season. Water will
run down hill, aud the chief thing to
take into consideration is to get tho wa
fer to the highest point on the land. l
estimate the entire cost of a phantom
gine, mains, bydrants, etc. Ito be about
S15 to $40 per acre irrigated. This is
the first years expenditure. After that
the expense would be only for fuel and
labor. / believe the increase in crops
tho first season would moro than repay
the entire cost of the plant. 1t would
be possible in some cases to use wind
mills for pumping, but small steam or
oil engines are not expensive.
The superintendent believes that with
in few years every farmer will have
an irrigation system, or will irrigate
his orchards end gardens from wells. In
many places few farmers can join to-
gether and take water out Of stream,
as was formerly done in Utah and other
tSCtIOuS VI tuc hiu io5i 5ioh' ilo oioo pio-
diets such demand for cheap pumping
plants, able to deliver water at rela-
lively small cost, that it will lead some
inventive genius to make pump at far
less cost than anything on the market
at tho present time. He would not ad-
wise any farmer, however, to wait for
cheaper machinery, as the value of one
crop, lost for the want Of irrigation,
will more than pay the cost Of pumps
and windmills at the price they are
now sold. Asked what would be a fair
statement Of the increase in the value
of farm land on account Of the irriga-
tion system, Superintendent Gapen re-
piled that the increase in products is
fourfold, and, estimating ON this basis,
land which was valued at 800 an acre
without irrigation would be worth $500
an acre with it.

Seeding Tobacco Plant pee,.

A writer in The American Agrioul-
turist says:
The successful tobacco grower must
raise his own plants; open air beds are
the cheapest for the main supply. AS a
rule, plants raised in open mir stand
traasplanting better and usually get n
quicker and better start than those raised
in hotbed or cold frame, covered with
cheese cloth or canvas. Choose for the
plant bed sheltered spot protected on
the north and west sides by timber.
Burn over the plat thoroughly and after
the soil is cooled, rake off the rough
material that remains and thoroughly
pulverize the surface, fine it and SOW
the seed. Regarding the amount of seed
necessary to sow TO plant an acre of to-
bacco, for every acre intended to be
planted bed ten feet square should be
sowed to secure an abundance Of plants.
The amount of seed required to SOW this
space is one teaspoonful. This amount
is sufficient to produce good, strong,
well developed plants, ms they will be
better rooted than if the seed issown
thicker. Sow one half the seed crosswise
the bed and the other half lengthwise,
This is good rule for all very small,
fine seeds. If the soil is in the proper
condition at tho timo Of seeding, the
best way is to firm the surface by tread.

sweeping with brush is the usual way.
