At a recent convention of New York
dairymen, George w. Grant in re-
viewing the farming situation said:
We are often told that we should be
content with our lot, but we have too
long been content. God never intend
ed that farmers should be the low
est stratum, the hardest worked an d
poorest paid, that all other classes
are laboring to make him. We have
too long been bearers of burdens for
all other professions. Unless some
remedy comes, and that speedily, it
does not take prophet to foretell
what the result will be. Our system
of farming will be changed to the sys-
tenn of landlord and tenant. He adj
vocated organization and united eff
fort among the farmers to send their
own men to the legislature, irrespec-
tive of parties, who would see that
the farmers interests are looked af-
ter in an equal ratio with the inter-
ests of other classes.

The cutlery in Europe against dis
eased beef is not sustained by stats
tics. It has been found that one out
of every seven cattle shipped from
Australia to England died while in
transit; that of those shipped South
America one out of every twenty five
died, while of those that were ship
ped from the United States and Can
ada, but one in 200 died in transit.
This would indicate that our cattle
surpass the rest of the world in excel
lence of condition, and that any dis
elimination against US is practically
without reasonable foundation.

Continuous breeding from young
sows, as might be expected, weakens
vitality and diminishes her size. But
it does not follow that young sows
ought not to be bred, only that their
progeny should not be used as breed
ers. There are too many advantages
from early breeding to give up the
practice entirely. The SOW put to
breeding early lessons the danger of
her becoming too fat for breeding
later. By SO much as the habit of
turning nutritution into milk instead
Of into fat is made greater, the value
of the SOW as mother will also be
increased. This is especially the
fact with the best of breeds, which
fatten most readily. A thorough
bred SOW, not bred as soon as she is
old and mature enough to come into
beat, will soon become SO fat as to be
worthless as a breeder, As a matter
of fact, the coarse boned breeds,
which do not fatten easily until old,
are for this reason the best breeders,
and turn off the finest filters when
crossed with thoroughbred males.

If we could race dyspepsia to its source, it
would lead back to our kitchens. In fact,the
secret of good health is good cooking. If
we'll cooked foods are partially digested; II
poorly cooked, they are less digestible than
in their state. If you are victim of
faulty cooking; that is, if you snffer from
dyspepsia, the rational cure must be looked
for in an artifcially digested food, and a food
which will at the same time aid the digestion
of other foods. Such preparation virtually
rests the tired digestive organs, thereby re-
storing them to their natural strength
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared by the
Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is just such
preparation, and a'single 10 cent bottle will
convince you of it's value. If your druggist
doesn't keep it, he will be glad to get it
through his wholesale house.
Laxol is the best medicine for children.
Doctors recommend it in place of castor oil.

Farmers object at times to expend :
ing money for fertilizers, relying en-
tirely upon manure, but the low
yields on some far9s demonstrate
that the farmer should not hesitate to
use fertilizers literally, as it is not i'm
possible to manure a large farm every
year. The system usually practiced
is to manure one field at time, the
result being that it may be four or five
years before the first MANFRED field is
reached again. In the meantime the
field has perhaps borne four or five
crops, aud is poorer than at the time
of receiving the first application of
manure, The use of fertilizers VIII
enable the farmer to apply plant food
to his crops every year thus increas
ing the yield of crops and avoiding
loss Of fertility.

consulting DR.. Greene by letter, describing
your complaints, and he will, after carefully
considering your condition, send you let
ter fully explaining all your somptoms, tell
ing you everything about your complaints so
plainly that you will understand exactly what
ai1s you. Write to him at once for you GER

j. O. Sanford of the state boa d of
agriculture gives the st. Adams Mes
senger the following sensible and in
teresting communications:
"Am glad to know that you are still
agitating the subject of good roads in
Vermont. The operation of the new
system of road management under
the law of 1892 has been gratifying.
From every section of the state we
have evidence that the roads are
greatly improved and without addi-
tional expense. This is cheering, and
gives confidence in our methods, and
the situation would be very hopeful
but for the action, or lack of action,
of the recent legislature.
A state highway commission was
created in 1892 as central force in
the new movement for road improve
ment, the usefulness and efficie nee of
this commission was shown in their
report made in 1894 which contained
data, information, and suggestions of
great value. The legislature of 1894
continued the commission and en-
larged its powers, increasing it's US e
fulness. Prof. Votey, secretary of the
com mission, has been in close touch
with the town officials and has rem
dered invaluable service by advice
and instruction in matters pertaining
to permanent road Improvement. He
is man of eminent authority on
roads and road building, and his BIZ
ennial report of 1896 if duly considered
and acted upon is worth to the state
more than the entire expense of the
commission.
And yet this commission is dead.
Died in the hands of the legislature
of 1896. This going backwards at
least two years after getting fairly
we'll started on good lines, and it is
very much to be regretted.
I attribute this backward movement
in a most important matter to our
poor system of thorough legislative
representation" and if we are to ex
pect legislation tending to progress
sion change should be sought. Keep
up the agitation"

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

Lord Jeffrey wrote of the American
| inventor and philosopher. He never
lost sight of common sense. Philip
/ G. Hubert, Jr., in a sketch of Frank
| lin in his recent book, "Inventors, -
says, nothing in nature failed to in
terest him, and catalogue of his
achievements, showing his activity
and resource, is conclusive proof of
| the truth of both staJeme nts.
Franklin inspired and established
the Junto, the pleasantest and most
useful American club of which we
have knowledge.
He founded the Philadelphia libra
ry, parent of 1000 libraries, which
was the beginning of an inteilectu al
movement of endless good to the
whole country.
He first turned to great account the
engine of advertising, indispensable
in all modern business.
He published Poor Richard a record
of homely wisdom, in such shape that
hundreds of thousands Of readers
were made better aud stronger by it.
He created the post office system
|of America and was the first cham
pion of a reformed spelling.
He invented the Franklin stove,
gested valuable improvements n VEN
|tilation and the buildings of CHM
|neys.
He ROBBED thunder of it's terrors
and lightning OF some Of It's powers to
destroy.
He founded the \ merican Philoso
|phical society, the irs5 organization
lin America OF the friends of science.
He suggested the use Of mineral
manures, introduced the basket will
low, promoted the early culture of
silk and pointed out the advantages
of white clothing in summer.
He measured the temperature of
the gulf stream and discovered that
northeast storms may begin in the
southwest.
He pointed out the advantage OF
building ships in water tight com
partments, taking the hint from the
Chinese, and first urged the use of oil
Jas a means of quieting danger on
seas.
Besides these great achievements,
largely as recreation
from his life work as economist and
statesman, Benjamin Franklin help
led the whole race of inventors by a
remark that has been of incalculable
value and comfort to theorists and
dreamers the world over. When some
one spoke contemporary of Mont
golfier's balloon experiments and
asked of what use they were, the
great American replied in words now
historic, OF what use is a newborn
babe?

A nervous young minister was filling
the pulpit for country charge that
was without regular pastor. A
part of his experience is touchingly
related by the local paper. The very
very pious old lady at whose
house he staid, in showing him his
room, said:
SIT amt everybody I'd put in this
room. This here room is full of scar
ed associations to me-" she went on.
ssMy first husband died in that bed,
with his head on three pillows, and
poor Mr.. jerks died sitting in that
corner Sometimes whenI CO me in
to the room in the dark l think see
him sittin there still. My own father
died lyin right on that lounge right
under the window there. Poor pa,
he was a spiritualist, and he allus said
he'd appear..to me in this room after
he died, and sometimes I AM foolish
enough to look for him. If you should
see anything of him o-night, you'd
better not tell me. 1t will be sign to
me that there was somethin in spirit
ualism, and I'd hate to think that. My
son by my first man fell dead of heart
disease right where you stand. He
was doctor, and there's two whole
skeleton in that closet there belong
ing to him and half dozen skulls in
that lower drawer. IT you are up
early and want somethin to amuse

OUR FARMERS.
FACTS FOR FARMERS.

1t never pays to overload young
teams.
1t costs more to keep poor horse
than a.good one.
Never feed the work teams mostly
hay when it is possible to avoid.
After cream becomes sour, the
more ripening the more it depreciates.
Feed oats to form bone and muscle
and corn and oil-cake to make fat.
Increasing the product and cheap
ening the cost will increase the pro-
fits.
Teach the colts to walk well and
you will lay good foundation for
other gait.
The teams will derive more benefit
from their noon rest if the h arness is
removed.
Always keep the pillow sharp. 1t
makes better and easier work for
men and teams.
When the lambs come running to
their feed it is good indication that
they are feeling well.
The best systems of cropping are
invariably those which call for the
most thorough preparation of the
SOIL
There is only one way of receiving
a good reputation for producing a
good article from the farm, and that
is to produce it.
The object in fertilizing is not only
to add to the elements in the soil, but
to aid those already there and m axe
them available.

An old broncho buster gives the
following as a sure way to cure a
horse of kicking: ssThe way we fix
a kicking horse is to tie one of his
forelegs with rope to the hindleg on
the other side. Then, as soon as he
starts to kick, he jerks the front leg
off the ground and goes down in a
heap. Two or three doses of that
kind will cure the worst case you can
find.
