Is All in Readiness for Winter

Is All in Readiness TOR winter
We have had singular and almost
unprecedented season. Up to the last
of October there was but very little
time i'm which work could be per-
formed out of doors. 1t has been II
remarkably dry season and there has
been a scarcity of water over a large
portion of the state. The drouth
was particularly severe in Franklin
county, and great inconvenience was
occasioncd in consequence. At one
time it looked as if winter might set
in without a sufficient supply of water
but happily the rains have come in
abundance and there need be no fear
in this direction.
Plenty of good water for house and
barn is of the greatest Importance ON
every farm.
1t has been splendid autumn in
which to perform the usual work of
the season, with the exception OF
blowing. 1t was most generally too
dry to do the best kind of work, I'M
less on land NATURALLY moist, still there
has been large amount done.
Those who kept steadily at this
work, rather than wait for rain, as it
proved were the fortunate ones, and
since the rains commenced it has be
come as much too wet as it was too
dry before, and the time too limited
in which to do work of this kind.
Farmers in the northern part of the
state endeavOr to do as much of their
blowing in the fall as possible as this
saves much labor and time another
spring when there is SO much to be
done. Probably this is the practice
throughout most of the state.
But short time now remains before
the advent of the winter months.
Has the favorable autumn been i'm
proved in getting everything in the
best shape for the long cold season we
may always expect in this latitude? If
So, then may the farmer feel laud-
able degree of satisfaction when the
cold and stormy weather makes it's APP
pearance and he realizes that all under
his care, the house and farm, are suit
ably provided for.
Every year there is something to be
done to both of these places to render
the inmates comfortable and content
ed through the long winter months.
Much work and time at the farm
may be saved by having all of the ar
engagements as convenient as possible.
BY careful consideration great deal
can be accomplished in this way.
Every animal should have a suitable
place in winter, either in the stable or
pen where it can be kept warm, dry
and comfortable. Then with proper
feed and care there should be such
growth and development as will greatly
please the owner and give an adequate
return for labor involved.
The time is passed for allowing
young animals of all kinds to stand
still in growth during the winter, and
worse still come out "spring poor. "
Such things are found not to pay
and the farmer who follows such a
practice will not be considered much
of an agriculturist in progressive Ver-
mont.
The farmer who keeps winter
dairy will especially need to be the
most fully prepared for his work, as
| success is dependent in great measure
on the system and carefulness which
is bestowed on this business.

He Minds the Sheen.

The London Leader tells of dog
which has lost both of it's right legs,
and yet manages to get about on the
other two, which are in more than one
sense its left legs. "In starting to run
the dog quickly gets up, balances itself
on its two legs, and rapidly hops off
in the style of large, agile bird. With
this strange mode of rapid progression
it now attends to sheep exactly in the
way Of an ordinary uninjured dor"

HOGG ACCUSED OF
UNFAIR DEALING
Texas Legislature Condemns the
Political Leader.
FEE FOR COLLECTING DEBT
Against Federal Government Was Re-
e.ested by Hogg and His Enemies
Seized Occasion for Admins
tering Political Death Blow.

Austin, Tex, March 10.-The biggest po-
took place today, when Ex-Governor Hogg
was practically arraigned before the senate
of the Texas legislature, and the politicians
were given an opportunity of stoning the
great political leader of the Lone Star
State. The matter came up over a meas
ure now pending to pay Ex-Governor Hogg
$4,000 for collecting from the federal gov
eminent SOL 900 due as money left over
after settling the debts of Texas when
republic.
Governor Hogg, acting under contract
with Governor Culberson, collected this
money, and the present legislature was
supposed to appropriate the money to>pay
him. This morning a resolution was in
troduced setting forth that the contract
was illegal and that Hogg had no constl-
tutional rights to any such fee. The dis
cussion of this resolution brought forth
one of the most extended debates in
Texas senate in years. 1t waxed fast and
furious all day and was only settled about
dusk this evening by the adoption Of the
resolution, which Is aimed at wrecking
Hoggs political future in Texas. The de-
bate over the resolution, led by Senator
ODell, was spirited. He charged that the
authority OF law. He charged that Hogg
was not actuated by fair motives or hon.
est dealings in attempting to get this fee
and created a sensation by stating that
the ex-governor had written him a note
during the afternoon asking him as to the
full text of his personal remarks concern
ing the writer.
His excoriations of Hogg were exceed
ingly bitter and created profound sensa-
ton. Quite a number of senators took
sides and spoke at length on the PROPOSE
ton. After much exciting debate, the sem
ate adopted the resolution, % to A, declaring
the claim illegal and unconstitutional. An
amendment was added, however, setting
forth that it was not the sense OF the SEN
ate in adopting it that 1t should reflect
upon the personal character of Hogs.
Hundreds of people were in attendance
upon today's entire extra session, listening
with great interest.

been in formal conference today to decide
what action this railway will take regard
ing the differential granted southern lines
on business to the educational convention
at Los Angeles. 1t was the universal opin-
ion that the Ogden Gateway roads would
absorb the extra charge and protect their
business even If it left them without a
profit. 1t was also decided that tickets
would be sold to Portland and Puget
Sound points at the same time as the Los
Angeles tickets, at the same price and with
the same time limitations. In this way
the northern roads hope to recoup them
selves on the southern lines believing there
will be as many desiring to take the north
ern as the southern trip.
