Working for the Interest Of the
Farmers,

Representative Circuit is much in
terested in agricultural affairs, having
fine farms of his own, and in his work
in congress he has an lookout for what
will be for the advantage of this occu-
patton. a part of his present work is
the securing of a law which, if success
full, will pretty efTectually curtail the
business of manufacturing oleOmarga-
rinc, and so regulate its sale that none
should be deceived as to its character.
The tax Of ten cents pound for
coloring it in imitation of butter,
should certainly prevent this being
done. A tax Of one'fourth of one per
cent. will, if the bill is passed in its
present form, be levied on the product
manufactured in this country, when
not made in imitation Of genuine
butter.
No attempt will be made to prevent
it's manufacture, it seems, when the
law is complied with, but the product
will be in such form and under such
regulations that dealers and consum-
ers will know what they are buying.
If this bill becomes law, it will be
of great benefit to dairymen and to
creamericS.
The sale of these imitation products
depends in no small measure on deal
ers palming them of as genuine but
ter. If this can be regulated 50 that
those who want pure butter can get it
without fail, then an object long
wished for will have been gained.
This will not prevent any wanting
oleomargarine from purchasing it, but
it must be under the true name and
color
The securing of such law as this
will certainly be very credltable to
Gen. Grout, help to fill out and COM
plcte long and useful career as a
representative of the people in con-
ercss and serve as an excellent step
ping stone to the higher and more
honorable position as member of the
senate. The farmers of Vermont and
all those interested in pure food pro-
ducts should at least recognize the lit
ness of this promotion and give voice
and influence in it's favor.

A Historic Cannon,

Lady Slocomb is large eight-inch
columbiad cannon which helped 1000
confederate soldiers TO hold 10000 fed
eral soldiers at bay for Is days at Span
ish fort, Mobile bay, when they were
besieged by land and by sea. The Lady
Slocomb was made at Selma out of Alb
bama iron, under the supervision OF our
popular citizen and present command
err of Camp Jones, Confederate Veter-
ans, Simon Clay and the late George
Peacock. The gun was mounted in
Spanish fort and was galantly served
by Capt. Slocomb's company OF the
Battalion Washington artillery, OF New
Orleans, and until 1t was disabled, on
the tenth day of the siege, by the con-
centrated fire of more than rs guns.
Thirteen of the company fell dead or
wounded around it, and their blood still
clings 10 the sides of the old gun. 1t
lay where it fell, covered with the de-
bris of the old redoubt, for 26 years,
when it was discovered, and last week
it was placed in position on granite
base at the entrance to Memorial hall
in New Orleans by the Washington ar
tillery as monument to Capt. Cuth'
