life. There is no occasion for losing
our heads, our hearts and our charac-
tiers while be are improving our streets,
our lights, our houses, our furnishments,
our transportation, our modes OF com
munication, our systems of self and
family support, our exchanges. and, in
brief, all the means by which the pur-
suit and the enjoyment Of life and hap
piness are maintained. The subscrip-
items for the FIRST poor state house were
mostly made in grain, meat, cattle,
provisions or goods because money was
rare. In 1906 the town petitioned the
legislature for the right to tax land
&c per acre, but nothing was done. The
good old times were not always prompt.
1t was not until 1s0S that the town was
able to assess this tax, and, even then,
two-thirds were made payable in grain
and provisions and the rest in Specie,
current bank bills or orders on the
building committee or in receipts or or
ders from the architect and construc-
tor" But this old-fashioned, high
minded, deep-souled way of thinking and
doing things manifested itself again in
1857 in the argument on tile state house
question of another citizen, who typiied
the best, culture, scholarship and service
of his times. Said Mr.. Stewart Of Mid
dlebluy; My purpose is to state con-
illusions to which have been forced con-
trary to territory preferences, against
oft-expressed inclinations, against long
established associations and the claim
OF personal friendship. Throughout this
discussion | have strfven to suit my
judgment to my inclination. Having
utterly failed in this, / know of no
course left save obedience to my convic-
ton of right. For, sir, the duties which
pertain to legislation rest upon d broad
er and firmer basis than mere prejudice
or preference, local or personal, and in
wolves a responsibility whose faithful
discharge must not seldom wholly ex-
clude considerations OF taste, Of feeling
of self-interest" This quotation sums
up the principle involved and the iudg-
ment which was reached and is fair
definition of the aims and purpose OF
the Vermont legislature at all times ON
MI state affairs. There may be mis-
takes, but that course, as SO defined,
has been the aim Of the people and is
today.

Senator William p. Dillingham;; but,

art on the duty and the opportunity Of
the legislator as fairly descriptive OF
the history Of our legislature for hum
dred years. Sentiments like these, the
economics involved and ancient claims,
all led to the establishment here of the
existing State House and bestow upon
our city today the great honor of cele-
brating its centennial as the capital OF
Vermont.

The production Of capons should re-

our poultrymen. Capons were quoted
on March / at II cents per pound,
and the old ROSTERS, which they are
the representatives of, at cents. The
capons will also weigh ut least one
third more than the ROSTERS and have
been bringing the producers an aver

caponizing Of the young birds Is not a

INCREASING THE FARM INCOME.


A man owning a 160 acre farm
writes us that his average gross in
come from his farm, taking series Of
years, is about IS per acre and wants
to know if there is any way practical
and available for him to increase this
really very small income. He has for
many years been what is called a rails
er Of grain and hay to sell, keeping but
little stock. AS result he has greatly
impaired the fertility of his soil, and
thirty bushels of oats and corn to the
acre and ton Of hay to the acre are
about all he gets even with fairly good
seasons There are so many men in
this fix all over the country that it
justifies a somewhat extended COM
ment by us. The system referred to is
all wrong. 1t goes from bad to worse
each year It is continued. There must
be a radical change. In this case,
which may be taken as a type, there
should be from twenty-five to thirty
acres of clover sown this spring; there
should be a hog pasture fenced off and
at least fifty hogs kept; dairy of six
teen cows should be set to work on the
farm, and coming right with these
cows will be the calves and the pigs;
half the acreage of corn should be
planted and twice as well cared for
as ever before; every mouthful Of hay
and every kernel Of grain produced on
the farm should be fed to some animal
right on the farm; a system Of crop
rotation should be adopted which will
include clover every fourth or fifth
year. While it will take three or four
years to get these reforms all brought
about, we will guarantee the result to
be that in the end the yield of crops
will be nearly doubled and the income
CORRESPONDENCE increased. Thousands
Of men have done this, and other thou
sands are now engaged in this reform
work, and we have never known the plan
to fail. But some may say they do not
like to take care Of a dairy-too much
bother. Well, then, try sheep or raising
beef animals, and If neither Of these
variations of the plan appeals to you
the best thing you can do is to sell the
farm and go to town and run for super
visor

A reader in Nebraska wishes to know
what variety of grass to select for the
purpose of seeding down hog pasture
In which are trees which partially
shade the ground. In any Of the states
east of Nebraska there would be no
doubt what kind of grass would finally
take possession Of such tract, for, no
matter what seed might be sown, the
blue grass would soon occupy the field,
but we doubt If the blue grass has yet
become domesticated so far west.
What would be better than even blue
grass would be alfalfa, which In most
parts Of that state does remarkably
well. He suggests bronze grass, but we
are inclined to think the best thing to
do would be to put the soil In the best
condition and SOW to alfalfa, which
makes the very best hog pasture in the
world.

The mechanical condition of the soil
has very much to do with its produc-
tiveness-far more than most farmers
think for. 1t Is an easy matter for the
soil to be too wet or too dry, TO be too
cold or too warm, to be In such condi-
ton that 1t Will admit too much air or
not enough. 1t matters not how much
fertility the soil may possess, II tie
mechanical condition Of the soil Is not
right the plant food which 1t contains
Is not available A lack Of humus In
the soil, very common condition on
all lands long cropped with grain
crops, always insures an unfavorable
condition of the soil 1t runs and be-
comes u mortar bed In a wet time and
bakes and cracks In dry time. The
good farmer will seek to remedy this
common fault by giving the land rest,
renovation and new fertility with clo-
yer and by the blowing under of some
green crop and the application Of a
good coat Of barn yard fertilizer and
by pasturing the land for year or
two. Land OF clayey makeup IL
piowed when wet is put In bad me-
chanfcal condition for the entire sea-
son.

A buyer Of hogs and cattle Of twenty
years ago told us recently that he al
ways planned to make at least $50 a
car on all the stock which he bought of
the farmers. Then they were almost
totally ignorant Of the real state Of the
market and readily accepted the price
which he offered. He says that those
good old days are gone, never to return.
Now the farmer is just as well posted
as he Is and, more, knows just exactly
what 1t will cost him to ship his own
stock, and his $50 car has gone a-giim-
mering.

Some attention is being turned to
catch crops for their value as fertilizers
following crops Of small grains. Con-
siderable success Is reported where soy
beans or cowpeas are sowed, disked in
on the stubble just as soon as the field
is cleared and then plowed under be-
fore the frost destroys the crop. 1t
costs about So per acre to give land
this extra treatment, and the invest
ment is returned, with good interest,
in the crop Of the following year.

We are asked how we would pro-
coed to raise bumper crop Of corn,
assuming that the season Of 1905 is a
favorable one for the development of
the crop. We would want piece Of
land which had not grown corn for
four years, which had been in clover
the two years Immediately preceding,
which was plowed last September, the
last crop Of clover being turned under;
we would put ten loads of manure on it
per acre with manure spreader, get
as near as possible three kernels in
each hill Of the most carefully selected
seed, keep drag and cultivator at work
on the field five, six, seven or eight
times, remove all barren stalks and not
let a weed grow. This is good for
eighty bushels per acre. Just try it
and see
