OUR FARMERS.

The Vermont Experiment Station
has recently issued bulletins 78 and 80
on cattle feeds and Commercial fertili-
zers. The former gives the analysis
of the sundry feed stuffs as found in
the Vermont market, with comments
upon them and their use. The latter
shows the composition of the 40 Or
more commercial fertilizers on sale in
Vermont during the past spring.
These seventy pages of reading mat
ter and tables concern matters which
cost Vermont farmers several million
dollars yearly. They know far too
little about rational purchases of
plants and animal food. A perusal of
these bulletins, which are written in
plain every day English, ought to aid
their understanding of these import
ant matters. The bulletins will be
sent free to any address for the ask
ing. If the applicant wishes to receive
all future issues without further no
tice he should ask that his name be
placed on the station mailing list. A
postal card addressed to the Expert
ment Station, Burlington, Vermont,
stating desires, is sufficient.

We have good friend, a farmer,
who is a born pessimist. His land is
rich, he has good health, and the rain
and blessed sunshine pass him not by,
his crops are good, and still he is
always looking for trouble. He seems
to be always looking out for late
frosts, hog cholera, blackleg, hail
storms and cyclones, low prices and
agricultural misery of all sorts. He is
sure everything is going to the show
vows" and seems wholly incapable of
sensing any of the multitude of bless

no place lin this beautiful world save
as hired mourner in some funeral

Robert A. Perkins, formerly editor

Robert A. Perkins, formerly editor
and manager of the Rutland Herald,
died suddenly Sunday morning, short
ly before II O'Clock, at his summer
cottage at Shrewsbury Pond, after an
illness of only about week with heart
trouble. Mr.. Perkins was a we'll
known figure in Vermont journalism
and was looked upon as something of
a free lance speaking with freedom
upon all subjects. He was always
bright and often brilliant in his edi
torial references and while on the
Rutland Herald distinguished it by his
editorial work. He was born in Pom
fret, December 10. 1916, and founded
aud operated for some years the
Woodstock Post. Afterward he held
editorial positions with the Springfield
Republican, the Boston advertiser and
the NeaU York Press. In 1855 he be-
came manager of the Rutland Herald,
and after two years resigned. In 1890
he returned and became both man
ager and editor-i in chief, holding the
two positions until October l, 1899,
when he resigned on account of i'll
health. He leaves a wife, who was
Clara Vail, of Pomfret, a sister of Fl.

CHANGING FEED.

Some years since I was feeding two
lots of steers, giving to one ration
of she1led corn meal and bran, the
bran in both cases constituting a third
of the ration,'' writes W. A. Henry.
CATER feeding for time the rations
for the two lots were reversed; that
is, the steers that had been fed upon
corn meal were changed to shelled
corn, and those receiving shelled corn
were given corn meal. Both lots re-
sented the change, and for three
weeks showed small gains. This is
common experience with thousands
who have attempted to change the
feed of their steers while fattening.
1t is probable that cattle long kept on
corn reach higher and better finish
when given meal than on whole grain.
1t will probably be best to change
over slowly to corn meal, or better
yet, continue on soaked she,led corn,
adding oil meal or brand to the ra-
ton. The latter feeds will furnish
variety, keep up the appetite and Sc.
cure better digestions and assimila-
ton, these conditions showing them
selves in smoother finish, give better
handling qualities, finer coat, etc.
Unless corn is very cheap it is hardly
profitable to feed cattle heavily for
five or six months on this one kind of
grain alone, whether it be shelled or
ground -
