grapevines can be made to produce fine
effects on fences and outbuildings, or
on rubbish or stumps IN the yard. Let
the children experiment somewhat
with plants, as it is not desired that the
yard be stiff, formal affair suitable for
large city. Carefully set out and
trim everything. Some one who has
had considerable practical experience
should be secured to assist IN this part
of the work. The object in arranging
the plants should be to secure as natural
an appearance as possible. Much must
depend on the teachers who have charge
of the school. though it is desirable to
have an enlightened and energetic
school board.
The foregoing may not be exactly al'-
plicable to every school yard, but it
gives suggestions which if adapted to
local conditions will convert barren and
unsightly school yards INTO things of
beauty. The moral influence upon the
children of such surroundings is worth
all the improvement costs. Having
gained the committees consent, the
teacher should talk the matter up with
pupils and parents, and get them to
donate trees and shrubs so that the
cost for purchased stock may be light.
Then have field day, when the work
of setting out the plants shall be done
by parents and pupils, the ladies to
furnish little lunch after the work is
done, followed by appropriate exercises
from the children. This will add inter-
est to school, and be of value as an edu-
Gator to the children. In Germany this
idea is carried to the extent of school
gardens or orchards in which the pupils
ere taught the rudiments of practical
horticulture, grating. budding, etc.
Temperature Dominates the Dairy.
All of the trouble that so many eX-
perience in getting butter to come is
due to some mistake in handling the
cream. 1t is neither not ripe or over
ripe, or if properly ripened, it is too
warm or too cold; or, again, it may
be that there is too much in the churn.
The Jersey Bulletin says that tempera-
.ure is the law that dominates in the
dairy; it governs in the setting OF the
milk, in the ripening of the cream and
in the churning, in the making and pack
ing of butter as well. The only index
of temperature upon which the but
ter-maker can rely is the thermometer.
and the butter-maEer without ther-
mometer is as bad off as mariner
without compass. Use a thermom-
eter and know when your cream is too
hot or too cold.

The BOND DEAL EXPLAINED.
Bates Tells and Tillman Endorses
the Story.
FULL HISTORY OF THE TRANSACTION.

Senator Tillman has reeonsidereG
his alleged determination not to say
anything about the State bond dea
until the charges were made by respon
sible parties. On Sunday he gave out
to the daily papers the following
which was published Monday morning

statement of the whole bond transac-

fined his statement as published to an
explanation of the commission paid
him, which was not at all satisfactory
even to his friends, and thereby had
invited rather than disarmed criticism.
He submitted this statement to me
and now gives it to the press at my
suggestion. 1 have read it carefully
and can corroborate as true every
thing it contains as to the facts OF
the case.
But for the fact that there are
others involved in the 30 called "bond
scandal" would adhere to my origi-
nal purpose of treating it with silent
contempt, because General Butler
made practically the same charges at

CUBA.

There is no spot on the globe that
has produced so much gold from its
soil, according to the area in culti-
vation, as that 780 miles long and rs
miles wide island lying to the south
ward of the United States called the
Island of Cuba. Not more than % per
cent of it is in cultivation, but from
1862 to 1882, a period of 20 years, it
produced 50 ,O0O,O 100000 worth Of
sugar, molasses, coffee and other pro
ducts. Europeans are fond of insti-
tuting comparisons between Cuba, as
a wealth producing country, and the
Dutch island of Java. OF course Java
is wonderfully fertile dependency,
but one must remember first, that it
is planted in sugar on the rich low
lands next the coast, and in coffee in
the billy country of the interior; that
it has a mild, honest, humane, and
very stable government, and, further,
that the Dutch planters Of Java are
the most skillful agriculturists on the
globe.
If Cuba had such government as
Java has one cannot tell what her
yield would be- Cuba's wealth has
come from her sugar estates. Each
sugar planting country has its own
peculiar methods. In Louisiana, for
instance, the planter lays down one,
and sometimes two, full stalks of
cane, in rows six or seven feet apart,
when he plants his crop. Many Cub
ans and all Javanese cut out the joint,
with its tseyes," or little buds, at each
joint, and plant these, two in hill, in
six and a half feet squares. This
method has an advantage in this, that
the young shoots can be plowed both
ways, and the weeds kept down,
while the plant is small, to better ad-
vantage, for weeds grow surprisingly
fast in rich tropical soil, and would
soon smother the young shoots if not
rigidly kept down until the crop over
tops them and they are smothered.

The government had

requested it. The government had
done the company an injustice, be-
cause it had interfered in the project,
and made it impossible for the COM
pany to raise the money it wanted
elsewhere. He was in favor of hav-
ing the canal constructed by Ameri-
can capital, and kept under American
control; but he was business man,
and if he could not get the money he
wanted at home he would seek it
abroad. The appointment of the
Canal Commission by Congress was
principally for the purpose of delay
ing the enterprise. 1t lacked engi-
neering attainments. At the same
time, it's report was not unfavorable.
It had called in question some of the
company's plans, and had placed the
cost greatly in advance of the COM
pany's, but had admitted that it's
data was INSULT cient for an accurate
report. 1t had found, as every engi-
neer, great or small, had been obliged
to find, that the work was feasible,
and that the route chosen was the
only possible one across the isthmus.

The electric plant at Middlesex
NarroWs, the erection of which was
commenced last May by Jesse S.Viles,
proprietor of the Pavilion hotel at
Montpelier, was practically complet-
ed last week and the works are ready
to do business. Over 1000 pounds of
dynamite was used in blasting canal
900 feet long, which was necessary to
change the course of the river. The
plant is equipped with three 42-inch
turbine water wheels, and the large
fly wheels are 6 feet in diameter and
81 inches wide. The three water
wheels have a capacity of 700 horse
power, and will propel eight dynamos.
There is total fall of 43 feet. which
gives almost unlimited power. The
dynamos with which the station is
equipped are arranged so they can he
used for light or power. It is by far
the best electric plant in the State.
and will be able to furnish power and
light for Montpelier, Barre. Water

NEW HAMRsRIRE REpUBLICANIsN

The New Hampshire republicans,
who are a pretty resoiute set of poll
ticians, met in convention last week
and adopted the following resolutions.
After rehearsing the misfo rtunes en-
tailed on the country by the democ-
racy they declare:
To the end that this great deliver
ance may be fully accomplished and
our nation may be fully restored to
the honor, glory and material pros
perity to which it attained under the
republican policy, and continue the
wonderful development which was
brought to stop by the incoming
President Cleveland and his congress,
we demand Of the national conven
ton soon to assemble at st. Louis the
nomination of candidates whose cleo
tion will meant
The speedy repeal of the Infamous
and ruinous democratic tariff and the
substitution therefor of one based
upon the principles of the Mckinley
act for the protection of our domestic
industries.
The promotion of reciprocal trade
with other countries and the procure
ment of abundant revenues, as far as
possible, at the expense of foreigners
who market their merchandise in
competition with our own produc
tions.
The enactment of currency laws that
will provide a circulation medium in
gold, silver and paper, which will al
ways be interchangeable at its face
of it is of the same purchasing power
as gold dollar.
Liberal appropriations for an ade-
quate navy and coast and harbor de-
fence and internal Improvement.
Fair and generous treatment of up
ion veterans.
A foreign policy characterized by
sturdy Americanism, including the as
sertion of the Monroe doctrine.
The moral and material support of
the Cuban patriots if they have not
already achieved their independence.
An immediate return to all the pol
icies in which the republican party
has SO successfully illustrated the
soundness of it's principles in the ad
ministration of the government.
We recognize as the most conspicu-
GUS among such candidates New Eng
lands noble and illustrious son, Hon.
Thomas B. Reed of Maine, and that
pure and able statesman and cham
pion of protection, Hon. William Nc
Kinley of Ohio. We will give the
electoral vote of New Hampshire to
any nominee who worthily represents
the party, but we prefer one of these,
because either, is, in himself plat
form.
