GARDEN "SAUCE"
As Raised BY W. Z. Horne
& Son Other Notes.

Miubury, March 12.-WiIuam r.
Horne e Sons of The west side have
early vegetables which were raised i'm
their hot house on Burbank hill The
vegetables are of an excellent quality.
The house was constructed over a year
ago, and last spring 1900 early tomato
plants were raised.
This year Mr.. Horne will also raise
1000 plants and put them on sale in
the market early.
The political situation changes with
the wind, as likewise the politicians.
Just who the next board Of selectmen
will be is q matter which has thor
oUghly aroused both parties, and all
candidates are doing their best to be
in the front line at the polls. Dr. Rob
ert Booth Is named by all as one Of
the three who will be elected, and
there are six other candidates TO pick
the remaining two from, and all claim
that there is to be a hot rub for second
and third places. Thomas L. Brown,
Esq, the candidate on the democratic
ticket, is a rising young democrat.
The fact has developed that the

to elect him. Mr.. MOlt has served on
the board of assessors for several years
and has a large party of followers.
Hudson w. Hakes is equally strong in
political circles and has served the
town in this capacity for several years
and has always handled town affairs
faithfully, irrespective Of party or ac-
quaintanCe. Mr.. Hakes has always
poIled a large republican vote and has
also a strong democratic following.
| William e. Horne is also very popular
| and is a strict business man. He is a
candidate for seleCtmen on both the
citizens and the republican tickets.
Edwin Hoyle is a republican but has
consented to allow his name to be used
on the democratic ticket. it is eX-
pected that he Will poll q very large
republican vote.
Today politicians gathered in groups
in all portions of the town and all ex-
pressed their views as to whom they
would vote for. and who should have
the office.
Arthur II. Bachelor is perhaps as
prominent as the most of the candi-
dates, although he is making no at

Jury vs.. Editor Chase.

Last weeks Vermont Union contained
an item to the effect that every one
connected with the Caledonia county
court was in the habit of chewing when on
duty, Exceptions were taken and the case
passed to the supreme court and this is
how one of the jury men looks at it,
The Union man was in town one day last
week and found mis- way to the court house.
Passing into the court room, that long,
last. personifcation of editorial wisdom
settled into seat. and, sveeping his eagle
eye up and down the lofty reaches of that
temple of justice finally saw small boy
in the audience quietly chewing gum. Now
there is form OF eye disease where one
object is seen as two, but the Union man
had it worse than that,-a case of multi
polygonal ophthalma, so to speak, as re-
'ut of which the movement Of that one pair
OF jaws was so magnifed in the mind of
ihe Union scribe that the whole court, from
judge to jantor, became tumble of jaws
IN motion; some fast, some slow, some
working with The vim OF jig-saw, while
others we're humping away like trip

An Interesting Case.

Judge Thompson has sentenced james
Doheny of Northfeli for breaking jail at
that place, to not less than six months and
not more than three wears at Rutland. At
the end OF six months Judge Thompson
said he and the states attorney would ask
the governor for a pardon for Doheny and
that the latter would then be put on pro-
tation aud if be broke away would have to
return and serve his full term of three
years.
In sentencing Doheny Judge Thompson
made known the supreme court decision
as TO whether town " lock-up," were in
cluded in the term "place, of confne-
mt nt' as set forth in the statutes. The
supreme court decides that they are and
thus it becomes a state prison offence to
break out of city or town "lock-up."
Judge Thompson used leniency in Doheny's
case. sending him to Rutland.
In assigning council in another case
Judge Thompson gave the bar some
good advice. He said that if the respond
ents had no shadow OF defence they
should be advised to plead guilty. That

Resignation of |. D. hazen.

The resignation of l.. D. Hazen OF st.
Johnsbury from the state board OF prison
directors, was made necessary by the fact
that he is postmaster at St. Johnsbury, and
and cannot hold state and federal office
at the same time. His resignation will be
great loss to the state, as he was man
who had devoted great deal of time and
study to the work of his office. Mr.. Ha-
zan was practically the author of the bill
which created the board OF prison COM
missioners and the system Of maximum
and minimum sentences. He had been
a prison director for about six years, and
had nearly three years more of his present
term TO serve. His resignation does not
take effect until January Is, 1900, and he
will visit Windsor and the house OF corree-
ton once more before that time.

Mail Transportation.

| The railroads and transportation COM
panies of Vermont received $214,739. 43
from the government last year tor carrying
| United States mails. 1t was expended in
various kinds of transportation service over
routes that aggregate over 2,52S 4S-100
miles. Over these routes there were 81
441.7S7 81 100 miles of travel.
The star route service is the first of the
items that enter into this enormous total.
In Vermont there are 1876 97-100 miles
of star routes, over which the mail is car
ried in stage coaches and other vehicles
drawn by horses. The distance travelled
on these star routes last year was 1,114,-
3S2 $500 miles-a distance that would
carry one around the world hundreds of
times, and which would almost enable one
to take a trip to the planets. The gov
eminent paid for this star route service in
Vermont last year $4,000 so.
The other large item in expenditure for
mail transportation in Vermont was for
railroads service. There are 1873 62-100
miles OF railroad in Vermont over winch
the mail cars rum The distance travelled
last year by trains carrying mails was
2,171, 1886 S7-100 miles. The govern
ment paid the Vermont railroads $142,-
339 81 for this service. In addition there
was paid to the railroad companies in Yer
mont $17,6 for railway postal cars.
This makes the total paid to the railways
| $159,9 81.
There were also expended in Vermont
last year SO, 263,72 tor mail messenger
service over routes 40 44-100 miles long
and on which the travel aggregated 3d.

The electric route, that carry mails in
Vermont are 90 9-100 miles in length.
The distance travelled by cars carrying
mails IN the state was As, 999 $500 miles
The service cost the government S1,474-
So These electric routes are the Brattle-
boro Street Rail~ay company, which re-
ceived 5000 last year for its services in
carrying the mails about Brattleboro; the
Springfield electric railway, which received
1888 IS for carrying mail between the

SELECTION OF SEED
How Improved varieties Of wheat
Are Being Bred By the Kansas
Agricultural COLLEGE.

IT Is common among corn raisers to
maintain or improve given variety by
selection of the seed. Ears showing de-
furnish seed for the succeeding crop.
Though not SO convenient, this method
can be applied with equal success to the
selection of seed wheat. The expert
ment station of the Kansas state agri-
cultural college is endeavoring to breed
up improved varieties of wheat. There
is no reason why the simple method Of
selection should not be applied by the
individual wheat raiser. We would adj
wise the following procedure: Before
harvesting, the grower should go into
the wheat field and select number of
the most desirable heads. The basis of
selection depends upon the wishes of
the individual, but is carried on as in the
case of corn. Usually it will be upon
the basis of yield and quality. In this
case the heads selected should be large,
well-formed and with plump uniform
grains. The grain derived from these
heads should be grown upon plot of
ground under the most favorable condi-
lions. The grain gathered from this
plat furnishes the seed for the third
year. But before harvesting selection
OF suitable heads should be made from
this for the next seed plot. In this way
the seed is each year imprived or at
leastmaintained at its present standard.
The size Of the seed plot depends upon
the total area of wheat to be grown.
Furthermore the seed plot may be given
much more careful treatment than is
applicable to the field. 1t is best to have
the seed plot within the main field SO as
to be entirely surrounded by wheat.
This lessons the loss from grasshoppers
and other insects. and gives the plants
better observation-disclosures Review.

CORN FOR FODDER.
1t Should De Cut Mt the Proper Time
IL Really Profitable Results Are
to be Secured.

When corn is at its best, the glazing
stage, it has value of say 100 per cent.
As per cent. of this will be in the ear
and IS per cent. will be in the stock and
leaves. OF the IS per cent. in the stalk
and leaves, 60 per cent will be in the
stalk below the ear, which will be 80 per
cent. Of the whole value. The feeding
value of the ear is mostly in starch, in
the stalk it is in the form of sugar.
From the glazing stage to full curing
the changes in the stalk are all against
the feeder, for while the sugar is all di-
gestible. in the ripening and curing
process it gradually changes to starch
and woody fiber, and becomes less and
less digestible, and thus loses much of
its feeding value. While the stalk at
Its best was filed with sweet juice, that
fully cured, found in the rick or shock,
has not trace of sweetness left, but
has changed to wood or been washed
out; hence we see how important 1t is
that corn fodder be cut at the proper
time and handled in the proper way to
secure the very best returns. Upon this
point experiments conducted at the
Oklahomast station showed that corn fod-
der left in the fields until required for
feeding purposes loses much of it's feed
ing value. but how large proportion is
not often considered by a large number
OF farmers. The results of these tests
showed considerable reduction in the
feeding value of the corn slower, equal
In the opinion of those who conducted
the tests to fully one-fourth of its orig
inal worth, with corresponding in
crease in the crude fiber which is the
least valuable part of the corn.-Prai-
