Horses for Vermont.

Why should not more farmers at
tempt the breeding of horses? On one
side are such facts as the following
which we find in late number of the
Mirror and Farmer:
But few horses have been raised in this
section for the past few years, owing to the
low prices they have brought. Breeders
now realize that horses will be worth some
thing again. This is shown from the fact
that more mares were bred the past season
than for several of the previous seasons to-
gether. Horses having size, endurance,
style, beauty and good driving qualities
will always sell at good paying prices. No
matter if they have speed; but none of the
other qualities should be sacrificed for
speed. The mistake that has been made is
that breeders have bred too much for speed
at the expense of the other qualities, and
the result has been too many homely, ILL
shaped, unsound, worthless horses II the
old-fashioned Morgans had had more size
they would have been as perfect horse for
general business purposes as we could have.
The soil and climate have much to do with
producing great men and animals, 1t has
caused England to produce some of the
greatest men and the best of our domestic
ANIMALS. And the soil and climate of Yer
mont have the same effect. The Green
Mountain boys were (and are) remarkable
for their martial spirit, courage and endur-
ance. They showed it in the war OF the re-
belion. 1t was the Sixth corps that saved
Washington from Early and that broke
through Lees lines, and the first to enter
Petersburg. The Morgan horses OF Ver-
mont have always been noted for their
great courage and endurance. This has
been drawn as it were from the soil and
mountain air of the states. Horses that are
raised ON the hills and mountain sides OF
Vermont will have better wind, feet and
limbs, will be less liable to stumble, and
will endure and last longer than those rails
ed on the plains or in the valley. Some OF
the facts in regard to the town of Barnard
are given to prove the claim. 1t is hill
town, with not mile of level road. 1T has
small population and grand list, yet &C.
cording to it's population and list it has
raised more good and fast horses than any
town in the state.
On the other side it can be said that
only few men can make a real success
in horse raising, because only few can
train horses, and an unframed horse
will bring very low price compared
with thoroughly trained one. But
when Vermont farmers use the right
kind of horses to breed from, it looks as
though the business would pay well.
We want heavy horses to draw big
loads, want horses that will draw the
modern sulky plows and other farming
tools up hill and down without finch.
ing. To be of real value, horse must
have weight and strength. So many
light horses have been reared that they
have spoiled the business.
There are four kinds of stock which
are evidently going to pay better in the
future than they have in the past.
They are beef cattle, mutton sheep,
draught horses, and good poultry.
Every farmer can raise one or more of
these kinds of stock and thus add to
his knowledge and probably to his in.

structive to germs. The cholera germ
in particular Is unable to flourish in
this acid, and therefore Il stomach in
a thoroughly sound condition is sure
protection against cholera.
The blood also possesses certain pro-
perties of defence against microbes
the nature of which scientists are only
just beginning to find out. Microbes
will flourish in the blood of certain
animals. Diphteria, for instance, does
not infect rats or mice. There are in
the blood of these animals certain
floating substances which have de
structiVe properties so far as the bac-
terra of diphtheria are concerned.
When the bacteria attack any point of
the organism these substances receive
an automatic signal and float to that
point. There they help to destroy the
invaders.
Acting in cooperation with these
substances are those corpuscles of the
blood which are called "phagocytes."
They not only attack the microbes.
but eat them.
The human blood possesses phago-
cytes, and it is by their action that we
acquire immunity against smallpox
and other diseases after one attack.
When the smallpox germ first attacks
the body the phagocytes hasten to de
fend it. If the body lives the phago-
cytes in the blood have become SO
vigorous that they will be able to re-
pei any future alta tx of the smallpox
germ with ease.

Eight Years OId!!

It's long life, but devotion.to the true

People has won for it new friends as the
years rolled by and the original members
OF its family passed to their reward, and
these admirers are loyal and steadfast

AS a natural consequence it enjoys in

1t has lived on its merits, and on the

The members of Wantastiquet grange,
who we're present at the meeting last We'd
nesday evening, are enthusiastic over the
good time they had. Interesting discus
sions on the methods of fruit and flower
culture we're held and a very enjoyable
entertainment was given. The closing
number was not by any means the least
appreciated, it being a feast of fruit and
popcorn.
We understand that the Jennings &
Griffin Manufacturing company of New
York are soon to start up the edge tool
works on Canal street. The shops have
been put in order, and as soon as stock is
secured few men will be put to work.

cepting for a small amount of work done
by g. s. Wilder this summer. Mr.. Wilder
had charge of the business during its activ-
ity, and will hold the same position when
it starts up again.

Hinsdale, N. H., and when he is in good
trim weighs 408 pounds, but he is a little
thin this summer and now weighs 362
pounds. He is only 10 years old, and holds
the medal for champion heavy weight BIZ
cyclist, having gained considerable noto-
riety in this line'' Robbie's skill as a high
kicker and foot ball player are well known
hereabout, but we may add that the Ad-
vertiser has lost its devil as Robbie has
returned to Hinsdale.
Father LaChappelle of Boston has con-
Quoted services in st. Josephs Roman
Catholic church for the past two weeks,
holding three services daily. The first
week the services were all conducted in
the French language for the benefit of the
French Catholics, and the last week in
English. Father LaChappelle is a young
man, but is finely educated, and an elo-
| quent speaker. 1t is expected that much
good will result from the meetings. On
Sunday, at o'clock p. M, Bishop Bradley
of Manchester, assisted by Father Wilde
and Father LaChappelle, administered the
rites of confirmation to 70 children. The
church was literally packed, many from
the other churches awaiting themselves oil
the privilege of witnessing the impressive
ceremony. The church decorations were
in excellent taste and fine music was rem
dered by the choir. The bishop left fol
his home on the early train Monday morn

MUNICIPAL PROBLEMS.

Speaking of Municipal Problems, Mr..
Wilcox said in part There are three
fundamental evils in the government Of
our cities. The first Is economic and
consists In the waste of public funds.
The second is political, in the true
sense, and consists in the inadequacy Of
municipal service. The third is moral.
and consists in the corrupt use Of civic
authority for the furtherance of indi-
yidual ends. The chief Importance OF
this third evil lies in the fact that II
throws politics into disrepute and de-
grades civil ideals, thus rendering CO.
operation for the attainment of truly
political ends well nigh impossible.
1.-THE causes of wastefulness in pub
lie expenditures are ignorance, parti-
sanship, state interference, municipal
irresponsibility and indefiniteness of
organization. The causes of inadequa-
cy of municipal service are individual
ism, inadequacy Of power and .undemo-
cratic organization. The causes Of cor
ruption ara FREED lick II civic integ-
rity and private control Of public pri-
vileges. To remove these causes Of evil
the committee on municipal program
proposes constitutional amendment
and general corporations act"

A. L. Crosby, formerly deputy audi
tor Of the city Of Cleveland, said:
"The necessity of financial control
lures has been demonstrated time and
lures has been demonstrated time and
again in every municipality of any size,
and the question is not at this time
whether such control should exist, but
how and by what authority should 1t
be conferred, and in whom should 1t be
vested. What is wanted is an abso-
Lutte, standard authority Of financial
control based upon fixed quantity and
subjected to no fear of overthrow, so
long as such authority Is executed
within proper and legitimate limits
Such authority can only be conferred
by State law.
"In order to fix responsibility in case
of neglect or failure to properly carry
forward the legitimate functions of a
municipality, there shou.i be and must
be an individual head-one on whom
may rest either public approval or pub
lie censure, and who must consequently
have the requisite authority to COM

rules laid down for the guidance OF all
public officers in the transactions of
