ignorance when an attempt is made
to condemn the city officials by saving
that the city is losing money through

As a matter of fact. the contractors
will be held to the the letter of the
agreement. The company has re-

When Samuel I. Pope s. Co. took
the contract July 9, last wear. and
promised to have the water works
completed Nov. 9, IL seemed to many
that an impossible feat was attempted.

The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1902-04-09
WON THEIR SPURS.

Senator Dillingham; and Representa-
tive Haskins will receive the con-
CALCULATIONS of the people of Vermont,
without distinction of party or class,
but particularly of the farmer class,
on their conspicuous victory in the
first Congressional battle in which
they were actively engaged-the con-
test over the passage of the oleomar-
garine bill
The measure was one in which the
farmers of Vermont were deeply in
terested, WHICH has been the object of
long contention in Congress and has
entered largely into State politics
here. The dairymen will rub their
eyes to make sure they are wide open,
that there is no mistake in the mat
ter, that the long sought law against
fraudulent butter making has really
passed both Houses of Congress, and
was really made stronger in the Sen
ate by an amendment bringing process
butter under the same taxes and pro-
hibitions as the House had imposed on
oleomargarine, in it's several condi-
tions This amendment will require the
further action of the Representatives
who will unquestionably accept the
bill as it was passed by the Senate
Dillingham; and Haskins, new men
in each branch of Congress, have fair
ly won their spurs. Both labored
earnestly and argued cogently for the
measure and will have the high COM
mendation of their constituencies.

THE CORN CROP.

1t has been customary with many
OF our Eastern farmers to depend par
TALLY, if not entirely, on western corn
for feeding their stock. 1t is now
conceded, however, by farme RS gener-
ally that improved methods of plant.
ing, cultivating and harvesting field
corn render it more profitable to raise
1t than to buy Western corn.
There is no other crop upon which
good commercial fertilizers pay better.
Indeed, in the higher ATTITUDES of
New England where the season is
short, their use is indispensable in or
der to mature the crop before the early
frosts.
A fertilizer to meet the present re.
quirements must be in such condition
as to work freely in the planter.
Bradley's Fertilizers have long been
the favorites for growing corn. Not
only are they producers of large and
well matured crops, but they work
perfectly in the planter. They have
been in use for over forty years, and
during all this time they have enjoy.
ed the greatest confidence of the farm
ing community.

The Waterman and Journal gladly
allows Mr.. Howard space to express
his own views on the questions he
propounds. He has long been sub
scriber to this paper, as already stat
ed, and though it is clear that he does
not always agree with the editor, he
is gladly welcome to the free and full
expression of his views on current
politics, all the more because he is a
type and exponent of "the Vermont
idee" of which so much is heard now
adays.
As Col. Kimball is not this year an
issue, his case. is excluded from COM
ment. Bill Vial appears to be the
correspondent patron saint in poll
tics; so Mr.. Howard and the editor
might have to agree to disagree on
the case he imports into his able and
broadminded discussion.
But the Waterman and Journal begs
to appeal from Mr.. Towards con-
demnation-which we are sorry to
say sounds something like a whimper
