Agricultural Bulletins.

The experiment station at Burling
ton is distributing four bulletins, on
apples, feeding stufs, pototo scab and
its remedies, and commercial fertile
ers. The first discusses the Fameuse
apple and it's adaptation in Vermont;
the second shows the character of the
feeding stuffs which are being sold
this year in the state; the third des
cribes potato scab and its cause and
points out ready means of prevention;
and the fourth gives the analyses of
the commercial fertilizers which are
sold in Vermont. These four bulletins
are free to anybody who cares to ask
for them. Such parties as desire to
receive the station publications in the
future, without charge and without
further application, should ask that
their names be placed upon the mail
ing list. A postal card stating desires
and addressed to the experiment
station, Burlington, Vermont, is suffi
cient.

OUR FARMERS.
COOKING FOOD FOR HOGS.

My experience in cooking feed for
stock is rather limited, yet I consider
that bulky foods, such as potatoes,
roots, pumpkins, ETC., are far more
valuable for stock, especially for hogs
when cooked, than when in their raw
state. For several years [ fed my
hogs raw feed, and I had moderate
good success, but during the last year
or two have been feeding more cooked
feed, and I see a great Improvement
in my hogs, and at the same time
think there is good saving made by
cooking the majority of their feed. I
have tried various kinds of cooked
feed and can obtain the best results
from the following: Corn and oats,
equal parts; corn and pumpkins di-
vided, three parts corn and one part
pumpkin; corn and potatoes, equal
parts. l also think that corn alone
we'll cooked is good, and an oc-
casional feed of all potatoes or all
pumpkin will add flesh and strength
to hogs, but in feeding cooked feed to
hogs it is not good policy to give it to
them too hot; better be entirely cold
than too warm. After cooking a sup
ply of feed it is a very good plan, I
think, to add about two or four gallons
of cold water to the barrel of feed,
but if it can be done, lukewarm feed
is preferable to either hot or cold.
would also advise not to cook too
much of the feed at any one time, as
it will soon become sour, and think
that feed of any kind, when it be-
comes too sour, is Injurious to the
hogs. I have also notice that in feed
ing hogs cooked feed I am able to
market them from two or three weeks
soonerthan could when fed on raw
feed; that is, they will ttain the same
weight two or three weeks earlier by
using cooked feed. It would be i'm
possible for me to say much in re-
gard to cooked feed for any other
kind of stock, as deal principally in
hogs, yet think that cooked food of
different kinds is good for any kind
of stock and would say that think it
would be profitable to anyone who
raises hogs, either in large or small
quantity, to use more cooked and less
raw feed.-Ratral NeaO Yorker.

WOMAN'S INFLUENCE.

When the new woman shall so
realize the character and power of
womanhood; when she shall appre-
ciate it; when she shall not make of
her womanhood football for men to
play with; when she shall turn her
attention to the making of the home
not grand mansion, governed and
cared for by servants, with a poodle
dog in the mothers arms and the child
in the arms of the nurse-then we
shall have homes such as they ought
to be, and not until then.
Let us, therefore, in our respective
localities, work with this thought
in our mind: Social gatherings at
which strong drink is served may
seem innocent and harmless, but after
all they are the little grains of sand
that make the mighty mountain; they
are the sowing of the seed that devel-
ops the appetite in women and men.
Keep away from Manhattans and
fizzes and all these other abomina-
tions. Keep away from these things.
Do not let your pure, sweet, innocent
young daughter go to some social
function where she is made a bar
tender of behind the punch bowl. Let
US take this home and let us try to
impress some of these ideas upon that
part of the motherhood of the country
that is outside Of US.
In conclusion, let me say, while you
may work for universal suffrage,
while you may work for the soldiers
homes, while you may work for the
soldiers in the Philippines, while you
may do all these things that may be
done, in Gods name, let US bring the
battery of our power and ideas and
the influence of our womanhood and
the honesty of our manhood to bear
upon the establishment of proper
Christian homes and the proper train
ing of children therein.

LINCOLN ON SALOON SMASHING.

Mrs. Nation has tOunO distinguish
ed advocate. The NeaU Nation goes
into the history of saloon smashing
and finds that this manner of dealing
with rum sellers existed in the earlier
times of Lincoln's career as an attor-
ney, and that he was once assigned to
defend some women who had been
employing the methods recently
appealed to in Kansas to eradicate
historian it was in or about the year
1889, while Lincoln was practicing law
at Springfield, that fifteen women of
Clinton, in the same state, after hav-
ing repeatedly pleaded with liquor
dealer to refrain from selling to their
husbands, raided his saloon, smashed
in the heads of his barrels with axes,
and broke his demijohns and bottles.
The women we're arraigned under
Indictment for the mischief done.
They were without counsel for de-
tense, when, on the day of trial, Lin
coin entered the court room and was
asked by them to address the court in
their behalf. He complied, and this
is the argument he addressed to the
consideration of court and jury:
"Msy it please the court, will say
a few words in behalf Of the women
who are arraigned before your honor
and the Jury. I would suggest, first
that there be change in the the indict-
ment, so as to have it read: The
State against Mr.. Whisky instead of
The State against the women 1t
would be far more appropriate.
Touching this question, there are
three laws: First, the law of self
projections; second, the law of the
statute; third, the law Of God. The
law of self protection is the law of
necessity, as shown when our fathers
threw the tea into Boston harbOr, and
in asserting their right to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. This is
the defense of these women. The
man who has persisted in selling
whisky has had no regard for their
we'll being or the welfare of their
husbands and sons. He has had no
fear of God or regard for man; neither
has he any regard for the laws of the
statute. No jury can fix any damages
or punishment for any violation of
the moral law. The course pursued
by this liquor dealer has been for the
Generalization of society. His grog-
gerry has been a nuisance. These
women, finding all moral suasion of
no avail with this fellow, oblivious to
all tender appeal, alike regardless of
their prayers and tears, in order to
protect their households and promote
the welfare of the community, united
to suppress the nuisance. The good
of society demanded it's suppression.
They accomplished what otherwise
could not have been DONE"
AS a result of the speech the women
were released by the court upon their
own recognizance, and, SO far as can
be learned, no further action was
taken. The facts may be found, the
authority states, in Collins Life of
Lincoln" page 10Y, and in Herndon's
'Life of Lincoln" edition of 1899, page
215.
There seems, therefore, to be moth
ing apocryphal about this tale, and it
is an extremely interesting one.
There is no answer in law or morals
to Lincoln's defense of this sort of
saloon smashing. Montpelier Journal.

ROMANCE KILLED
And Eva Lee Has Probably
Succeeded in Killing Herself.
Strange Story and Act Of Young
Woman at Dover, N. H.
Alleges Broken Engagement. Tells Queer Story
Takes Poison and Will Die.

Dover, y. H., April 15.-At deaths
door almost from the effects of drink
ing carbolic acid, with intent of ending
her life. Eva Lee. 10 years of age, to-
day, told a story of her life which
seemed to have considerable romance
in it. But her mother tonight, waved
away the romance By denying much Of
what the girl had said.
Miss Lee came here some days ago.
and for some reason not yet correctly
stated took 10 cents worth of carbOlic
and laudanum purchased at n drug
store. She was rooming in a house on
Second street. and the people there
heard her groans and got a physician.
The overdose of the poisons gave the
doctor an opportunity to save the girl
and he had great hopes of her recov-
cry.
During last night. however, she had q
nightmare during which she left her
bed. This resulted in an internal
hemOrrhage. as the carbOlic acid had
eaten away the lining of her stomach.
Miss Lee had told those at her bed
side that she came here to be married
to a young man of this city. but unex-
pectedly the engagement was broken.
She said that she had no relatives,
that when = years of age her parents
We're lost by the wrecking of q vessel.
and that as she was dashed TO a raft
she was rescued after two days. She
claimed to have come here from Port
land.
Her mother. however. came here
from Portsmouth on the 9 o'clock train,
tonight. and denied all the girl had said
about her life. The father and one
brother life in Portsmouth. and the girl
had been in Portland but once to the
mothers knowledge. Further than
this Mrs. Lee would not talk. as she
hurried to the bedside of the daughter.
How much of the engagement story
is true is not known. The girl repeat
eddy called for her alleged betrothed.
and although word was sent to him he
refused to see the girl. He is we'll
known yong man. quite an athlete and
Of good family. He appears to have
no acquaintance with Miss Lee. DR..

MARIkvlLLE WOMAN DROWNED.
Four Women Lose Control OF Boat Ono Lost.
Others Narrowly Escape Death.

Ellsworth, Me, April l5.-News was
received here from Mariaville. Monday,
of a thrilling adventure of four women
on the freshet swollen Union river.
Sunday afternoon, in which one of the
number lost her life. and the other
three for a time were threatened with
4 similar fate.
The water in Union river is still un-
usually high as q result Of the heavy
rains of last week and the bridge which
crossed between Waltham and Maria
vile, about 90 miles above Ellsworth,
is unsafe and closed to travel. The on
~ means of crossing the river is by
small boats. and az there is 4 strong.
swift current. such an undertaking is
considered very dangerous. especially
as there are steep boulder-strewn rap
ids only a short distance below the
bridge.
Mrs Eugene Jellison and three
companions, Miss Carrie Parsons. Miss
Carrie Jellison. and Mrs. Emma True
worthy attempted to make the passage
from the Mariaville side. They had
gone only a short distance when they
lost control of the boat in the current,
and although they made frantic efforts
to prOpel the craft to the Waltham
side. the current carried it rapidly to-
wards the falls and the occupants at
last saw that their only chance would
be to catch one of the supports OF the
bridge and hold on until help came to
them.
When the boat reached the bridge it
was floating very swiftly, but Mrs. Jel-
lison succeeded in reaching a portion
of the bridge and partially stopped the
Roadway Of the craft. There was too
much momentum, however. and the
boat was carried on by the current.
The woman chung to the bridge for 4
moment, then lost her hold. and sank
in the river. She did not rise and her
body had not been recovered, Monday
forenoon.
The boat had gone only a
few yards when Mrs. Trueworthy
grasped projection of the bridge and
succeeded in stopping the boat. line
was made fast and finally men who
had been attracted by the women's
screams. rescued them from their dam
gerous position.
Had the portion of the bridge which
Mrs. Trueworthy caught and which
brought the boat to a stop. given way
the boat and its occupants would have
been swept through the rapids where
they undoubtedly would have lost their
lives.
Mrs. Jellison was about 50 years of
,ya Sho Is survived by n husband and
four small children.
