Echoes from Pomona Grange.

Al the Central Vermont Pomona grange
meeting held in Northtield recently, the
discussion OF the general topic OF the I'M
provement of highways was opened by the
worthy master. ID. III. Morse of this place,
whose remarks are quoted by the North
field News as follows:-
'sThe first thing of Importance TO DO IN
order to have good roads in this town. any
other towns and throughout the whole
state Is TO nut a man at the head who
knows his business and keep him there,
Do not, when you get good man, change
every year, for il costs 500 or s6OO Tor 9
man to get in touch with the work. Al
Randolph they practice this rule, having
the same highway commissioner they
elected at the time of the passage OF the
new law and there are no better roaus IN
the state than in Randolph.
ssThe permanent road OF former years
has had its day. The day is near at hand
/ when all the towns will have stone crush
ers for the purpose OF crushing the large
rocks to Size that wheels of wagons can
run over them easily and pack the road
down hard, making water shed. The
cost is estimated at from $500 To sl,2UO a
mile. Some will say that this method Wlll
/ lead TO bankruptcy, but it is we'll known
| fact that those business men who pay out
the most wisely make he most money.

roads that is received from the govern
nent, and this will be done at no distant
dty. The farmers should have good roads
I il anyone should, for they pay 60 per cent
/ o ali the taxes in this country.
"There is big surplus in the United
/ States treasury at the present time ana the

/ The discussion of the question, "lhal
the present law OF taxation is unjust ano

A Profitable Crop

That intelligent, industrious farming
still pays in Vermont is again demonstrate
ed by Dana II. Morse, who applies these
elements in manner that not infrequent-
ly nets him exceptional returns.
Mr.. Morse took eight acres of WORKOUT
land that hadn't been fertilized for hfteen
wears, and which he wished to set out 10
orchard. He plowed it in the fall OF 1902
and cross plowed it again last spring.
Having set out the young trees, Ia order
to give them cultivation, it was advisable
to till the ground, and, after narrowing
and re-harrowing until the decaying
sward was reduced almost to powder the
field was furrowed out in rows three ana
one half feet apart and pieces OF cut pota-
to dropped at intervals of ten inches. The
variety of seed was the popular Green
Mountain. The seed was covered with
pillow. The only fertilizer used was 600 lbs.
of Bowker's high-grade potato phosphate
to the acre, laid along the rows after
planting by means of corn planter.
Twice before the stalks appeared the
land was narrowed down fine TO diseour-
age the weeds and to conserve the mols-
ture so much needed last year for the
plants The field was cultivated between
the rows every week during the season I'M
til August. The plants were sprayed
twice with paris green and Bordeaux mix
ture combined and once with the mixture
alone, the spraying being done by pump
mounted on wheels, so adjusted that four
rows could be sprayed at once. The hand
hoe was not used in the field at all from
blowing to harvesting, but, under the con-
slant narrowing and cultivating, weeds
had no opportunity to grow.
The potatoes were dug the last OF Octo-
Der with a Planet, Jr., digger. 1hey were
| free from scab and rot, and as clean lot
as one would care to see. The harvest
/ from the eight acres was 1000 bushels oil
marketable potatoes. These were CARED
| By Mr.. Morse and shipped to Boston
| commission merchant, netting Mr.. Morse
AZ cents per bushel, Counting seed, fer
tilizer. labor. $40 worth OF special maehin-
cry that was left as good as new and every
| thing that entered into the cost OF pro-
duetion il amounted to q cents per bush
| ell.
| Mr.. Morse has every reason to be proud
OF hat the fellow called "two per cent
profit.

No DOUBT good deal of criticism will
arise over the negligence of some one in
authority at Madison over the loss of the
state capitol building, Opinions may
vary, and rightly, too, regarding the pol
icy of carrying no insurance on the
property, but the failure of the water
supply at the time of the fire is surely
one of pure negligence. Watchmen in
the capitol and others who were in the
assembly cloak room after the fire start
ed there, say if there had been any water
on hand at all in the capitol the fire
could have been put out with compare
lively little damage. Gov Scofield had
a stand pipe and hose system put in the
capitol when he was chief executive. An
attempt was made to use these when the
fire was discovered in the cloak room.
No force, whatever, could be obtained,
and the capitol watchmaD, who was
early on the scene, declared that had
any water at all been available, the fire
could have been extinguished in its very
inception. 4

Waupaca Post: Hon. Emil Baensch,
who is candidate for governor upon a
broad Republican platform, made an ad
dress at La Crosse recently which is
worthy of the careful consideration of
every voter. Judge Baensch did not in
dulge III vituperation against those who
do not agree with him; he did not saw
the air with wild gesticulations; he did
not appeal to the passions or prejudices
of he hearers; he made no grand stand"
plays; instead. he gave logical, force
full talk upon his ideas of good govern
ment, advancing arguments which can
not successfully be assailed. He spoke
especially of the necessity Of keeping the
three coordinate branches of our gov
ernment-the executive, the judicial and
the legislative and distinct, as
was intended by the trainers of the con-
stitution. The duties of the executive
are to recommend measures and to ap-
prove or disapprove the laws passed by
the legislature. His speech was entirely
impersonal; he did not attempt to read
anyone out of the party; he did not say
that every man who did not agree with
him was IAN enemy of the people" or
tool of the corporations" 1t was
plain, dignifed, dispassionate speech,
which was listened to very attentively
by an audience of six hundred people.
nearly all of whom were business men,
who have the best interests of the state
at heart

In THIS section of the state where Mr..
Luse is known 30 well, it seems foolish
to hear it intimated that he can be con-
trolled by any set of men, or that his
candidacy is the result of faction of
the republican party, or of the efforts of
the large corporations. Mr.. Luse has
served bis clients faithfully, whether
they were individuals or corporations.
If elected to the Supreme bench the
people of the whole state will be his
clients and he will serve them with as
much energy and ability. He is not
partisan and has no feeling for or against
any particular party. He is being sup
ported by persons of all classes and those
who are conducting his campaign are
unconnected with political organizations.

ALL this talk about removing the state
capital to Milwaukee or any other place
is absurd. All the people of Madison
need to do to silence this discussion is to
see to it that the city is provided with
few modern hotels that charge moderate
prices for entertaintnent. Poor hotel &C
commodations is primarily the cause OF
the suggestion of moving the seat of
state government.

FOR A TIME THE LIQUIDATORS AXE

Selling Diminishes Largely at the Lower Levels, However, and Encourage Friends of Lower Prices
 tO SuppOrt Market

NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-Early efforts 10 support prices of stocks today seemed to prove futile and there was a time when the market seemed to be abandoned to liquidators But the selling diminished largely at the lower level and encourased the friends of higher prices to renew ther supporting tactics. The news did not oiIer clear explanation of these varying opera tions.
 The Grangers and Pacifcs were under heavy pressure during the first half of the session fin spite of the reactionary move ment of grains. The weather reports from the grain regions were of higher tempera- lures and failed to bear out last nights forecasts of the development of another cold wave in the Northwest. Yesterday the market sank . tower level, with Pennsylvania the sole reliance of support of prices. That stock ultimately gave way with the rest of the market. It was at disadvantage with reports in circulation of q ntt mplated strike on the part of some of the trainmen on the western lines of aroonast employees Of the United States Steei Corporation in the Mahoning Valley bore on those stocks and forced then: point under last night. with sentimental effect on the whole list.
