EDITORIAL NoTE1

1t is to be hoped that Morristown
viii do what appears to the state at
large to be the best thing for herself
and Vermont at this time-send
Thomas c. Cheney to the House and
let it elect him as its speaker, which It
will very likely do, il given opportun-
ity. No man mentioned for member
ship in that body is quite so well
equipped to preside over it, and his
host OF friends all over Vermont would
rejoice to see the honor 60 to him.
On the stump, V. A. Ballard, fusion
candidate for encouragement, berates
his opponent, Clarke c. Fits, IN a
very unusual, uncalled for, manner.
Among other things he charges that as
member OF the House two years ago
Fits secured his election as attorney
general at the hands of the legislature
through a trade with Proctor, who was
also a member, whereby he received
Proctor's support in return for his own
active work in behalf of the present
caucus law, which Proctor promoted
in order to serve his political purposes
this year. Such a tale is all moon
shine. Fits came forward as a candi-
date for the attorneY-generalship sole
ly on his merits, which had been well
noted by his colleagues. One OF his
strongest supporters and one who sec
onded bis nomination was G. H. Pape
of Barre, present fusion candidate for
acknowledgement, and Mr.. Fits re-
celyed almost the solid Democratic
vote Of the House. That there was no
connection between the bill creating
the Office Of Encouragement (and
Fits selection theretor) and the eau
Gus bill is shown by the fact that the
former measure was passed and Fits
had been elected to the place two days
prior to the reporting of the caucus
bill in the House. There is not the
slightest ground for Billiards. allega-
ton of a trade between Fits and
Proctor. The two men have always
been firm personal friends, and it
needed no quid pro quo for the latter
to support the able and worthy young
man from Brattleboro.

pruning season, is especially timely and
helpful. 1t has the weight Of authori-
ty, as coming from a practical gar

There is a right time and wrong
time to prune each plant, but few
amateurs can distinguish between
them. Also certain trees do not need
pruning at all.

Ginning Horses.

The clipping Of horse in the early
spring is now conceded by all the lead
ing veterinarians to be as essential t.
his we'll being as shoeing him or giving
him comfortable bed to lie on. 4
crippled horse dries out rapidly after {
hard days work and will rest com
fortably and be refreshed for the mex
days work. An unclipped horse is Ii
able to catch the heaves, pneumonia
and all sorts of colds, etc, because the
moisture from perspiration is held BY
the long hair and chills the body.
A man would not expect to enjoy
very good health If he did hard manua
work clothed with heavy underwear, {
heavy suit and fur Overcoat, and after
perspiring freely, as he naturally
would, go to sleep without removing
same. 1t is just as ridiculous to ex
pect a horse to be in perfect health il
worked under the same conditions.
If you would get the best returns
from your investment in your horse
treat him right, and be sure to cliI
him in the early spring.-Horse Re

Changing Lots for Swine.

Where swine are raised in sufficient
numbers so that they are herded in
small Enclosures, it is essential to
change these lots yearly if one would
avoid the danger of cholera or other
diseases The way to accomplish this
to the best advantage is to have the
swine distributed in small colonies, each
with movable house Have the lots
Of double size, using one-half OF each
lot during the early part of the season
and the other half at the latter part.
This will carry one through the season
with little danger of trouble, and then
these lots should be abandoned for
swine, being cultivated the next year
and new lots provided for the swine
This is considerable trouble to be sure.
but there is no way more certain to
avoid disease than this. Particularly
is this plan valuable in sections where
the soil is inclined to be heavy so that
the filth made by the swine does not
drain into the soil readily.

SnrinS Poor Stock.

The man who would get all from his
live stock it is possible for them to give
him is the man who feeds and cares for
them intelligently. There are thou
sands of animals that will be turned
onto the range this spring, who have
been half-starved during the winter.
This is particularly true of horses, who
have had little work to do. Their own
er has worked on the plan that if there
was no work for the horse 1t should
have only just enough food to sustain
life; he forgets that storedup vitality
is necessary for the animal to do the
heavy spring work of the farm. The
poorly-fed horse cannot give the ser
vices he would have given had he been
properly nOurished, so, after all, it is
poor economy to feed too lightly during
the winter. When this poorly-fed stock
IS turned out to grass, it takes them
half the summer to get in shape again,
and, if they be COWS, the milk supply is
correspondingly light. Here again is
where it does not pay to feed too
stingily If the stock on your place
have not been we'll fed go at it now !;
give them grain and fodder until time
to turn them to grass, and, unless the
pasture is good from the beginning,
feed them for some weeks. You will
need to do this if you expect to get
proper returns soon.

Making Incubator Profitable.

The incubator has passed the expert
mental stage, and is no longer ma
chine of chance results. Any one with
q reasonable amount Of common sense
and the ability to take care of the ma
chine and its contents while it is in
operation will be rewarded by success.
If one is in a position to go into the
poultry business on a scale of consider
able magnitude the better plan is to
prepare a cellar expressly for the work,
for, perfect as they are, incubators
sometimes catch on fire. and then the
loss Of the building they are in genera
ally follows The cement building
blocks which have recently come into
use offer the means to construct IN
incubtor cellar in any section of the
country at moderate cost. Breeders, too,
must be added, and there should be a
structure for the breeders, so that the
early Matched chicks need not be turned
out of doors to get wet or catch cold
incubator cellar in any section of the
pacity and sold at q low price A 90
egg machine of reliable make can be
bought for SO, and with it one can get
all the experience needed to. enable him
to operate those of larger capacity a
second season. The incubator and the
brooder are essential in operations of
considerable size, the sitting hen to be
used only as a makeshift.

BIRDS KILLED BY INSECTS.
Mosquitoes Suck Their Blood and Const
QuentlY Cause Death.

Scores of canaries and other birds in
Baltimore are the victims Of the merci-
less attacks Of mosquitoes. Great num-
bers Of birds become weak and die as
a result of having the life blood sucked
from their bodies by the insects at night.
Scores Of birds die each year." said
James A. Graham, q canary fancer, ''ol
the attacks of mosquitoes. Several years
ago | noticed that the legs Of my pets
We're swollen and the skin cracked and
sore. The birds perceptiby shrunk in
size and were almost dead when it was
suggested to me that mosquitoes had
something to do with the trouble.
1T at once set to work, accepting the
mosquito theory as the correct one. The
cages We're covered with net to keep out
the pests, and as an extra precaution
the leg Of the birds were dipped in
oil Of pennyroyal, red cedar and other
remedies with perfectly satisfactory re-
suits. The insects can bite through the
feathers Of the canary with perfect ease.
All birds, when they sleep during the
summer, spread out their feathers, max
ing it easy for the long-billed mosquito
to reach their bodies.

The shoveling board proper is about

the board may be the same width as the
sides of the wagon box, or wider, if
desired. The side-boards A and B are

front ends are the same width as the
box where they are attached with
strong hinges. Strong, short hooks are

An Easily Made Filter.

Take a new wooden pail and bore
holes all over the bottom. Procure some
fine, clean sand, and having thoroughly
washed it in many waters place it in
a bag of some strong cotton material,
just the shape of the bottom of the
pail. but slightly larger, and about two
inches thick. Place the bag in the bot
tom of the pail, place the pail over an
other, and pour water in. If the sand
is fine and pure it is remarkable what
excellent filtration can be obtained from
this simple contriyance, which costs but
a trifing sum.

Method for Testing Eggs.

\ simple method for testing eggs,
which comes from Germany, is based
upon the fact that the air chamber in
the fat end of an egg increases with
age. If the egg is placed in solution
of common salt it will show an increas-
ing inclination to float with the long
axis vertical. BY watching this ten
dency the age of the egg can be deter
mined almost to a day. A fresh egg
lies in a horizontal position at the bot
tom of the vessel; an egg from three
to Ave days old shows an elevation at
the fat end, SO that its long axis forms
an angle of 20 degrees. and an egg a
month old floats vertically upon the
pointed end.

Freezing in Warm AIR.

The freezing Of leaves and buds on
clear spring nights, when the air TEN.
perature is above freezing point, has
been superstitiously looked upon as an
effect of the moons light An English
eXperimenter finds that, while all OBJ
jects have the temperature of the sur
rounding air on cloudy nights, rapid
radiation may produce difference on
clear nights, and a piece of cotton prov
ed to be at times six and even eight de-
grees colder than the air. Plants may
be similarly chilled below freezing with
the air above.
