Twelve Questions To General McCuI-
louqh.

Here are a few pertinent questions
to Gen. Mccullough, on which it is
but fair that the republican voters OF
the state should be informed:
l. Are you in favor of the prohibit
tory law in this state, or not
,. Did You not dodge every vote on
the liquor question when YOU were a
member of the senate in 1898?
3. Are the results of the liquor Ii
cense law in New York city. your
winter home, such that you would un-

hesitatingly recommend its adoption
in Vermont?
4. Is not Mr.. Clements campaign
an annex of your own, and are you not
his heir apparent?
5. When, in your recently issued
circular, you attempted TO prove that
Won were a real Yermonter by giving
list of your property in Vermont,
why did YOU not give also list Of
your property in New York, so that peo-
pie could really judge whether or not it
is true that your principal interests do
not lie in Vermont?
6. DO you not think that j. p. Nor
gan and other New York tellow-mil-
lionaires of yours could prove their
complete identity with any one of half
dozen different states by the same
kind OF argument as that which is
made in your behalf?
Z. Is it not a tact that for years yon
have owned and maintained a winter
residence on Park avenue, in New
York city, and that your principal bus
mess office is, and long has been, on
Cortland street in the same city,
5. If elected governor, where do
you propose TO live winters during
Your term of office?
3. Is it not true that You never held
a town or local public office in this
state
10. If so, is it because you have no
interest in such modest affairs; or be-
cause you have not had time enough
in the state ;or because your neighbors
at your summer home have not con-
sidered you closely enough identified
with their local interests?
II. Do You consider that 1t is pos
sible to spend, legitimately, in polit-
ical campaign in Vermont, the amount
OF money you are spending in yours
u. Are you willing to state, APP
proximately, the amount OF money
you have spent in this canvass, so that
the people may be able TO judge
whether you are not conducting the
same on a New York city plan?-[St.

Candidate Clement spoke last week
at Bethel, White River junction, Lud-
low, Brandon, Middlebury and YER
gennes in favor of local option, which
is his platform in this canvass. At
each place he was enthusiastically
greeted by a large audience. He may
be on the wrong side of this question,
but he is candid and outspoken, and
he will cut quite a figure in the con
vention, to judge by the favor with
which his candidacy is received by a
large class of voters. 1t is liable to
get down to a square fight between
Proctor, prohibitionist, and Clement,
for license, with Mccullough and a
limited following as interested specta-
tors on the fence.

Many farmers who have never paid
enough attention to their trees to know
whether they were bearing apples OF
bananas, are now looking up on such
matters as grating, pruning and
spraying.
The experienced fruit growers OF
course are all looking ont for the
spraying &C this season OF the year.
The Vermont Experiment Station says
that the mail is flooded with inquiries
on this subject, and in response to the
general interest, they have sent Us the
following information. Questions on
other points may be addressed by let
ter or postal card to Experiment Sta
ton, Burlington. VT
The first requisite is a good spray
pump with the necessary rigging.
The outfit can be bought OF the manu-
facturers or of the implement dealers,
and will cost anywhere from $40 TO
$500. \ first-class outfit costs els to
S25.
Just at this time of year the spray
ing needed by fruit trees is chiefly for
the prevention OF fungus diseases.
For this purpose a plain solution OF
copper sulphate, one pound in 10 to 20
gallons OF water may be used. Bor-
deaux mixture is equally as good. but
it is more bother to make. The first
spraying should be given at once, be-
fore the blossoms open
A little later, Just after the blossoms
fall. another spraying should be given
This should be bordeaux mixture in

pound stone lime. 10 gallons water
e pounds sulphate, ( pounds lime,
barrel water). Dissolve the sulphate
and slack the lime in separate vessels,
dilute each with about half Of the total
water to be used and then pour the
sulphate solution into the lime water
while stirring vigorously. Continue
the stirring for a minute to insure per-
feet mixture. Il deteriorates on
standing and should be used soon after
made. Keep the mixture clean to
avoid clogging Of pump and nozzles.
Strain the solutions and have strain
er on suction tube Of pump. A quick,
convenient way to dissolve copper
sulphate is to suspend it in a cheese
cloth or similar bag Just below the
surface Of the water.
\ third spraying two weeks later,
with bordeaux mixture, will be pay
ING investment. Even a fourth and
NTH spraying, at intervals of two
weeks, will sometimes pay handsome
dividends.
In all sprayings, except the first.
some paris green should be used. Add
one pound paris green to 200 gallons
OF water, or four ounces 10 the barrel
If there is danger of bud moth the
paris green might better be used in
the first spraying also.

In this present campaigns strenuous
effort is being made to shelve General
Mccullough Bellows Falls Times.
Unwittingly, the Times has laid its
case bare. The Mccullough position
is that its candidate has simply got to
have the governorship this year. The
case is desperate. Gen. Mccullough
has long sought this office, and the
people must subordinate their prefer
ences to his desires. 1t is the height of
presumption for anyone else to enter
the field The other fellows ought to
go way back and sit down" until the
appetite Of this New York Nermonter
has been appeased. Then it will be
well enough for them to come up.
The entire basis of opposition to
Fletcher ID. Proctor is that he ought to
wait four years until Mccullough has
warmed the executive chair. II is adj
mitted that Proctor is entirely worthy,
but he is quite out OF order now. 1t is
real mean in anyone to want to
"shelven Gen. Mccullough. The gov
ernorship is his by right, of course,
and the determined effort" to keep it
from him ought to be frowned down.

 Common Weasel

Instances of the Ferociousness of the
 Common Weasel
 The weasel is the boldest and most bloodt hirsty of our small animals; in- deed. none of our larger beasts is more so, says John Burroughs. There is something devilish and uncanny about it. It persists like fate; it eludes, but it cannot be eluded. The terror it in- spires in the smaller creatures-rats, rabbits, chipmunks--is pitiful to behold. A rat pursued by weasel has been known to rush into room, utter dis mai cries and and seek the protection of a man in bed.
 A woman in northern Vermont dis covered that something was killing her hens, often on the nest. She watched for the culprit and at last caught a weasel in the act. It had seized the hen and refused to let go when she tried to scare 1t away. Then the woman lad hold of it and tried choking it, when the weasel released it's hold upon the hen and fastened it's teeth into her hand between the thumb and forefinger. She could not choke it off and ran to a neighbor for help, but no one could re- move it without tearing the flesh from the woman's hand Then some one suggested a pail of water. Into this the hand and weasel were plunged, but the creature would not let go even then and did not until it was drowned.

PENETRATING A LANGUAGE.

The Effect of the Dismemberment of ' Poland on the Polish Tongue.
 Prince Radziwill a representative from Germany's section of Poland, has just made an eloquent plea before the Reichstag against the edicts under which Polish children are scourged who refuse to study the German language The plea was vain, however. The chan cellor declared he would oppose all ef- forts to set back the course of history, and will see that the Germans in the east do not fall beneath the Polish wheels" The policy moreover, ne says. is followed by Austria and Rus sia in their portions of Poland It IS one of the methods which most Of the nations of Continental Europe take to suppress the aspirations Of peoples whom they conquer.
 When the three robbers" Prussias s Frederick the Great, Russia's Gather inc IT. and Austria's Maria Theresa, made their first division of part or Poland's territory in ITO the effacement of their language and literature was predicted by some of the leaders or the conuuered people, though the conquer CTS at the outset disclaimed any such intention. The second partition of Po- land in 1793 between the same countries and the third partition in 1796, virtually plotted out Poland, though even yet the extreme rigors of the foreign rule did not come.
 Bonaparte, who, in his conquering march across Europe, emancipated the peasants of almost every country which he entered from some of the tyrannies incident to the feudal system, and who, while his power lasted, lifted the Jews to d social quality with the peoples among whom they lived, attempted to free Russian Poland from the Muscovle yoke. and thus won the Poles support. but he was unable to carry out his promise fully though he improved tenn porarily the condition of some of them,
 It may be said that Americans have no right to criticise any other country for imposing it's language on con- quered people, for the United States did this in the case of Louisiana, which 1t bought; in that of California and New Mexico. which it obtained by conquest ana DuTtIdSe, anu 1lSO III tiit NoEN 'h Porto Rico and the Philippines, which it obtained in the same way But the inhabitants of Louisiana and the Mex ican provinces were comparatively few, and while the language of the public schools which we established in those Localities was in English, no penalties were prescribed for the children who neglected or refused to learn it. More over, official recognition was given to the French and Spanish languages in those territ ories at the outset, as in Porto Rico to-day. No assault was made on those peoples traditions or customs. Of course, in all those cases, as we'll as that of the Philippines, the condition of the annexed people has been vastly improved, while nobody will make the claim for the Poles, notwlth- standing the weakness and tyranny of some of their later native rulers,-St. Louis Glove-Democrat.
