Watering Horses.

In no other way do farm horses suffer
80 much as from being inadequately
watered. They are compelled to work
steadily for five full hours each half day
in the broiling sun with no water. The
farmer is very careful when he goes to
the field to see that his jug of drinking
water is not left behind and he drinks
often if the day is hot, but it never
enters his head that his horse is sweat
ing animal, and in proportion to it's
body, has smaller stomach than him
self and needs as large a supply of water
and needs to drink as often. Not only
is it humane to provide water for the
horse, but it pays, The sweating pro-
cess is cooling one. This is natures
way of counteracting the heat, and
when water is given in sufficient guam
tity to sustain the sweat the horse can
do more work with safety. 1t is but
little trouble to give team drink two
or three times each half day and any
man who will try the experiment will
never abandon it. BY providing barrel
on log boat or even on a wagon,
enough water can be taken to the field
to last two or three days, and If the bar
rel is clean one the water will keep in
good condition and with a pail the
horses may be given drink a couple
of times each half day. No time need
be lost for it will take no longer to give
them a " sip of water" than to sit on
pillow handles while they are resting.
There is another very great advantage
in this occasional watering. When so
watered, the team on coming to the
stable may be allowed to drink all they

worth of information out of those five
books. The book on manures is one
which no farmer can afford to be with
out. The reading of it would save
thousands of dollars to the farmers of
Vermont. The whole field of expert

for information on this subject. 1t is
all brought together here to guide farm
ers in the making and use of manures
and fertilizers. We cannot speak more
at length of these books at present, but
hope to at q future time.

A CITIZEN DISCUSSES
One OF the Vital Questions Of the Day
Fraught with Interest to
Montpelier People.

If there is anything in local indorsa-
ton when compared with foreign, if
there is anything more convincing in
the opinions held by people we know
than those entertained by utter strang-
gers, then Montpelier citizens have the
golden opportunity of their lives to de-
eide these points of Mr.. Henry j.
Snow, of 1T Elm Street, who says:
at is nearly year ago that my back
commenced to trouble me with pain
across my kidneys. II would come on
me and stay two or three days and
then go away, but eech new attack was
worse and lasted longer. This kept up
until last winter, when made up my
mind to do something, and got Doan's
Kidney Pills at Lester H. Greene's
drug store, as / had heard them highly
recommended. l began using them as
directed, and when l had used about
two-thirds of the box the pain left me,
and have only had one or two slight
attacks since. when l again resorted to
Doan's Kidney Pills and was again
quickly cured. Doan's Kidney Pills
are a good medicine to keep in the
house and intend to always have them
on hand You may refer to me at any
time, for they have cured me and 1
think they will Others"

want without fear of bad results and
grain may be given 80 as to give them
plenty of time to eat it.
When not watered from morning I'M
til noon it is not safe to give drink I'M
til they have stood and cooled off, and
every one should know that it is not the
best way to feed horse before it has
drank. The result is that the driver
has to put his team in the stable to hay,
and after dinner give them a drink and
then feed grain. This is a good deal of
trouble and it takes time, and it also
reduces the time the horse has to eat
his grain, 80 he learns to "gobble it
down." and it does not digest as we'll or
do him as much good. If water is pro-
vided, and horses are watered at nine
and eleven O'Clock in the forenoon,
they will drink but little when coming
to the stable and may at once be fed
their grain and will have full hour to
eat and digest it and horse that is fed
grain three times a day will be better,
feel better and work better not to have
any hay at noon, but simply have his
grain and be allowed the rest of the
time for digestion and assimilation.

Developing Heifers.

In the development of the heifer to
be profitable dairy COW, great deal
depends on the sort of man that handles
her from calfhood to her second milk
ing form. She must start with good
dairy ancestry. That is the founda-
ton, but not the superstructure. We
have reason to believe that large pro-
portion of poor cows could have been
made good ones, if they had fallen into
the hands of men who knew how to de-
velop them rightly. l. Prevent growth
of fat and beefy tendencies. 2. Breed
at fifteen months 30 as to start the
growth of the maternal functions while
the body is easily moulded. 3. Feed
literally of milk producing food, 80 as
to develop the growth of the udder all
that is possible.
An Arkansas man asked G. P. Good.
rich the question: SHOW are milk ves-
sells developed in heifers? How is the
milk flow stimulated"
Mr.. Goodrich has been a very sue
cessful producer of fine COWS, and his
answer was:
"Bring them up in the way they
should go, and when they are old they
will not depart from it, if they are well
bred dairy heifers. By this l mean,
bring up the heifers to consume large
quantities of milk producing food.
There are some kinds of food that
will INDUCE growth but not fat. Use
such foods"
You can spoil the heifer for milk by
feeding fattening foods"
Prof. Roberts aptly says: eff you
ask such heifer to turn all her food
into milk, she will say: III can't do it,
you taught me to make tallow."-

Mexican Matters.

City of Mexico, March 26.-William P.
Wilson, representing the Philadelphia
Commercial association, is here and to-
day had long and cordial interview with
President Diaz, who promises the coop
Grafton of Mexico in carrying out the
broad and comprehensive plans for pro-
noting trade between Latin America and
the United States. Mexican officials gen.
orally approve the idea.
The cordial tone of President Diaz to-
ward the new Greater Republic of Cen
trail America disabuses the people of the
impression that Mexico was not friendly
to the growth of the stronger government
south. Mexico has no territorial ambi-
tons, and all projects for extending in
fiuence and later on her boundaries to the
south have been steadily discouraged by
the Diaz administration, which recognizes
that Mexico has a tremendous work to
accomplish in inducing immigration and
educating the people.
1t is absolutely untrue that negotiations
have been going on with view to have
ex-Empress Carlotta visit Mexico. Aus
TRANS here deny the report.

His Followers Are Deserting-The
Blackburn Minority.
Frankfort, March 26.-It is thought
that Hunters strength is drifting away
from him. But for the wonderful fight
he is making and the unprecedented back
ing he evidently has, he would already
be to the point of withdrawing. Three
more of his party openly announce they
will join the six republican boilers on
Monday. He has never been able to add
to the three recruits from the democrats
he had at the start. Meanwhile he has
followers who claim that not even the ma
tional administration can turn them from
him to another nominee, and the Black
burn minority begins to hope for the
thing them most desire of all, viz, his
election, and the Bradley faction is suf-
fering. 1t is plain that but one remote
possibility can now force any election at
all.
There were only thirty-four senators
present when the roll was called for the
third ballot at noon today. Senator
Steege paired with Senator Fulton. In
the house Furness and Morgan and Gar
rett and Horton were announced as
paired, the roll call showing 100 present
and voting; necessary to choice, 66.
The ballot resulted:
Hunter (rep), "a; Blackburn (silver
DEM, As; Davies Sound money dem.)
ID; Boyle (rep), 6; Stone Silver dem.), /,
The general assembly adjourned, the
republican nominee being two short of
election and the boilers having all the
best of it.

committee. He is to be the guest of the
officers of the league while in Washing

Cotton Schedule Amended.

Washington. March 26.-An amend
ment to the cotton schedule of the tariff
bill has been agreed upon by the repub-

committee, and doubtless will be adopted
by the house. Underwear valued at less
than $3.50 per dozen has been rated at
80 per cent adj vaorem in the pending
bill, which is the Mckinley rate. The
present rate is 20 per cent, and on rep
reservations that quantities of these goods
cheaply made in Switzerland are being
imported into the committee, the 80 per
cent duty will be maintained
Rough material for eye glasses and
spectacles when worked into the form of
discs have heretofore been admitted free
but upon the new bill duty is placed
upon them. The committee has learned
that the majority of discs used in this
country are imported and they will be
returned to the free list.

THE SENATOR OF CHANGING
FRONT.
WAS ARDEN1LY IN FAVOR OF It.
Gave Hearty Approval to the Arbi-
tratiOn Principle Before the
Treaty Was Drawn Up-Senn-
tor MOrgan's Position.

London, March 26.-An interview is
published here with Mr.. William NJ
Cremer, formerly member of parliament
for the Haggerstone division of Shore
ditch (radicaD, who has for years past
been secretary of the International Ar
bitration league and who is editor of the
society's organ, the Arbitrator.
Mr.. Cremer is quoted as saying that he
considers it inadvisable to ratify the ar
bitration treaty as amended. He adds
that the British government will almost
certainly refuse to accept the treaty in
its emasculated form, and says that there
are good reasons to hope that in few
months it will be carried as originally
agreed upon.
Continuing, Mr. Cremer says he is sur
prised the Americans do not make their
voice heard in such way so as to induce
the senate to alter its position before the
next session.
He adds; "There is no doubt Senator
Morgan is the chief obstacle. When in
Washington L had talk with President
Cleveland relative to arbitratiom and Mr.
Cleveland suggested sounding the senate
| saw Senator Morgan, who expressed
warm approval of the principle.
""Tell the president said he, that if
he sends treaty to us l will get it
through the committee in forty-eight
hours

Washington, March 26.-Another brief
discussion of the civil service occurred
during the open session of the senate to-
day.
Mr.. Gallinger produced several forms
issued by the civil service commission to
substantiate his recent statement that GER
tain applicants for office were required to
hop on one foot for twelve feet. He said
his statements had been challenged by
several penny-a-liners and by one mem
Der of the civil service commission. The
senator read the 'hOpping" provision and
several other questions as to the weight
and height of the competitors, which he
characterized as absurd.
Referring to the size and weight re-
quirement, Mr.. Gallinger said:
phil Sheridan could not have served
the government if the civil service com.
mission had got at him."
| The matter was referred to the civil
| service committee.
| A resolution was adopted asking the
president for information as to the death
| of two American sailors at Santiago dc
Cuba, also resolutions asking the attor
| ney general for any propositions to sci
| the Union Pacific Railway.
Owing to the public demand for copies
of a recent decision of the supreme court
sustaining the antitrust law as applica
BILE to railroads, it was determined tt
/ print the majority and minority opinions
as n senate document.

ture was presented by Mr.. Mcmillan rep
Of Michigan, protesting against the eXecu

was composed of Europeans. | told, him,
it is true, that l endorsed the principle

our endorsement of this principle when
the course is proper, but it is a different
matter when it comes to uniting upon the
details of plan for putting the principle
into universal operation. | have realized
this difficulty from the beginning, and
consequently never uttered to Mr.. Cremer
or any one else my support Of any arbi.
tration treaty at any time. Certainly
would not have done so before seeing the
document, as his statement indicates
did. l was told, for l was not present,
that when Mr. Cremer was before the
committee on foreign relations he was
asked why parliament did not take the
initiative If it was ANXIOUS for universal
arbitration, and his reply was to the eff
feet that if the United States would take
the initiative this action would influence
the British government in giving consent
to the efforts of British commons.
