The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1896-04-29

SENATOR TILLMAN's head is about
ten times as big, in his own mind, since
he returned from his western trip. He
actually believes that his chance for
being nominated for president by the
Chicago convention on free silver
platform is good one, and he says
there is no longer the slightest doubt
that the silver democrats will control
that convention. He thinks that west
ern tour has made him so solid with
the democrats of that section that he is
now planning for a southern speech
making trip, which will take in Ala
bama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mis-
sissippi and Texas. When Tillman's
aspirations for the democratic presi-
dental nomination were first talked
about the Cleveland democrats regarded
it as a good joke, but they don't now,
Just 80 were the Cleveland democrats
at first disposed to pooh pooh the idea
of the silver democrats controlling the
Chicago convention. To-day most Of
them admit the probability that ma
jority of the Chicago convention will be
silver men, but say they rely upon the
influences which men like Senator
Brice and ex.Secretary Whitney car
bring to bear upon them after they ge
to the convention to prevent the adop
ton of radical silver platform or thu
nomination of O silver man.

THE claim the WATCHMAN has
steadily maintained that the preference
of the majority of the republicans of
Vermont is for William Mckinley for
president is sustained by the develop
ment of strong sentiment for the
Buckeye state's man among the assem-
bling delegates. Mckinley is clearly
the favorite by long lead, but the
delegates will probably not be in
structed. -
THE disgraceful fight with ink-bot-
ties, sponge-cups and other stray bits
of government stationery which Repre-
sentatives Hall of Missouri and Money
of Mississippi got into in house COM
mittee room, the other day, indicates
the present status of the silver and
anti-silver democrats. Money is sill
yer democrat and Hall was originally
elected as such, but he was converted
by Mr.. Cleveland at the extra session
of the fifty-third congress, which re-
pealed the purchasing clause of the So
called Sherman silver law, and is now
anti-silver. They are all ready to fly at
each others throats, and nobody will be
surprised if the Chicago convention
should end in free fight in which

Building Up the Grange.

A grange fair will do much to elevate
and improve the members by melting
a disposition to excel in everything
pertaining to the Improvement of the
farm as well as the more important
social and educational Improvement OF
the farmer himself. OF all the various
methods of instruction none are so
popular with the masses as those
which appeal most directly to the eye.
1t is at the best conducted fairs that the
specimens of stock. implements and
household convenences are to be
found Whatever is best and likely to
prove the most profitable can be seen
and purchased. A disposition to i'm
prove upon the past is laudable one.
AS to premiums the cash system Il
the best, unless it be those of an an
nual subscription to one or more OF
the best agricultural papers or of the
best practical books relating to the
best paying methods of farming. The
premiums should be given for the best
conducted grain, stock, dairy. truck OF
fruit farm; for the fastest walking
horse or mule; or for other things con-
nected with the farm or home. The
funds for premiums could easily be
made up of contributions of farm pro-
ducts, which when sold, would supply
the amount necessary for the pre-
niums. The names of those receiving
premiums should be entered on the
permanent records Of the subordinate
or Pomona grange.-N. e. Homestead.

Silos are a certain help to farmers
and are within reach of all. A low
priced silo turns out just as good en-
silage as a high-priced one, says an
exchange. Rough hemlock boards
with strong tarred paper between the
two courses, make a good silo. Any
one that can lay one stone on another
in mortar can build the foundation
The one idea is to exclude the air. The
cutter should be the best obtainable
Get machine with cut down.
Why does anyone advocate that ap-
pie orchards should be set to grass
Why are they not cultivated and fer
tilted just as are orange and lemon
orchards? Farmers go to great trouble
and expense to plant apple orchards
and willingly cultivate them until they
begin to bear, then expect nature to
keep them producing bountifully An
apple tree fast eXhausts the fruiting
properties of the SOIL fruits less album
dainty, and starves to death or yields
very inferior fruit. Feed it, feed it.
Keep the ground stirred to retain the
moisture. Grass gives just so many
capillary tubes to waste moisture

That dairy education pays is proved
by the experience of the Canadians
Those people decided that they would
teach their dairymen how to make good
butter and cheese and how to take pos
session of the foreign markets. In
structors were put into the field and
these inSfrr1ctnrS
sooo. me government took an inter-
est IN the matter and did what it could
TO make reputation for it's cheese in
england. The result was that in a few
years Canadian cheese had nearly
nrlven American cheese from the Eng
ish market. Education counted. It is
the only salvation of the cheesemakers
ana buttermakers of America.

for cultivation. But such conditions
confront us all over New England
How we are going to meet this condi-
tjon is enc of the crucial questions OF
the future of New England agriculture
Mr. Winslow strikes the true note
Mr.. Southwick advocates thorough cui-
tivation with heavy manuring. TINS
expensive method cannot be JustlneC
in the present state of trade, unless
some other source of income than the
farm is to pay the bills. Mr. Tabor ;
meadows are not oVerfed. Let hin
take all the manure that Mr.. South
wick suggests,-if he can pay for il
without borrowing,-an put it onto
his meadows. Probably this amount
of fertilizer and labor put upon ms
cleared land will pay double return
here, to say nothing of the fun OF dolns
it. Leave that old pasture alone unit
all the meadows are brought up t
their highest state of productiveness
Concentrate, use silo, but all the con

income will justify, and the fertile

and the robber acres will gradually bt
crowded off the farm. This question
interests me because / am in the same
fix as Mr.. Tabor, and l am following
the course suggested above, with goo(

CARP DESTROY THE GRASS.
Voracious Expectations from Ger
many Denuding the Oregon Mead
nXVS.

A rancher, whose place is on the bottom
along the Willamette slough, below Hol-
brook station, was in the city yesterday
TO find out whether he had recourse
against the United States FISH commits
sion for the Introduction of carp into the
rivers of this section.
He says these fish are destroying his
meadows by eating his grass and grub
bing up the roots. AS the water over
flows his meadow the carp follow # up
in thousands, the small ones weighing
about three pounds pushing their way up
where the water is only three inches or
SO in depth and clearing off all Vegetation,
so that when the water recedes he will
have mud flats in place of meadows.
He says that while looking at the fish
eating his grass on Sunday he got so mad
that he took off his shoes and stockings
and went out into the shallow water and
attacked them with a hoe He slashed
a lot Of them in two, but when the drove
became alarmed and made for deep water
they bumped their noses against his sllins
and came near knocking him off his feet
and his ankles are black and blue from
the humping he got. AS for driving
carp away, he says he might as well
have tried to sweep back the rise of the
Columbia river with broom-Portland
Oregonian.

Often she had TO leave her for little
while, and nothing ever had happened to

thing did happen. Two small boys, drunk
with the days delights, came wandering
back to the village. They went into
Annie's yard and stole a rose: they saw
some fire-crackers where she had dropped
them, and of course, they set them off
no in the yard, as she had done, but with
proud sense of daring. on the old dry
porch: then they fed, unconscious of a
pretty wreath of blue smoke curling up
from one board.
TIE whole front of the little place was
