The Uoqm of Representatives at Wash
ington U just now doing nothing because
the democrats hare resorted to the tactics
known as filibustering. What gave that
name to that kind of periormance is not
certain for filibuster used to be a word for
a sort of junior plrato and a Rood pirate
had to be active if be amounted to any
thing in his chosen calling. It may be
that Lopez and his followers, when they
made their raid on Cuba in 1851 and were
dabbed filibusters, made such Sat failure
to do anything except to get themselves
killed that the name will always attach
to those who make a great ado about
doing nothing.
7n 1880 In the second district of South
Carolina Mackey, the republican candi
date, had more votes than O'Connor, his
democratlo opponent. But by the tissue
ballot dodge and others O'Connor was
counted in. Mackey gave notice of con
test and O'Connor died. Then one Dibble
was voted for by the democrats, received
bis certificate and his soat in the Uouse.
Mackey continued the contest and took
his testimony, while Dibble claimed that
the contest fell to the ground when O'Con
nor died; besides Dibble maintains that
Mackey has tampered with tho testimony
taken.
The committee on elections reported in
favor of Mackey and Dibble claims that
they refused to go sufficiently into an ex
amination of the forgery of testimony
which he charged on Mackey. The matter
came ob for consideration Saturday, and
the democrats began to put in a sort of
w irk that they promise to keep np till
midsummer if the republicans persist in
considering this eleotion case. Thoy re
fmin from voting and as a number oi
republican members ubsent aro the result
is that no quorum votes and so no prog
ress is made.
When the Chalmers case was up the
democrats allowed a vote to be taken,
whereupon Chalnsurs was indignant and
prooeodad to set himself up as an inde
pendent. They have sinoo been warned
from South Carolina that if the south is
to be kept solid southern methods and men
must be sustained. So the business of the
house will be blocked till the end of the
9 ssion do lees the republicans can cure all
their men of absenteeism or until tbej
consent to let the democratic luinorii
dictate the order of business.
This filibustering performance moan
just this, that the solidity of the south, the
last oitadel of bourbon democracy, is en
dangered unless a southern demoorat can
be backed in keeping whatever tissue b i i
lots will give him. by the whole power
the party. Whether it will py the repu
Menus to keep np the attempt to get a vo
on this contested case is doubtful, liu
anyway the southern nuoxssities aro we
shown up by the perform men
Mahone und his like are tiio dretd of ii
solid south to-day as the oarput bug 1
was a few years ago. Toe Virginia cam
paign has begun thai early, and Mahotii
and bis friends are onaraotorized by their '
opponents on tho stump by epithets thai
are worse than those applied to tho do
npised "carpet-baggers and soalawags " of
by gone days. It was a fine solidity, but
the solid southerner begins to feel all
broken up when the "Old Dominion" is
to hare fur bor senators Mahone and Rid
dlobcrgor. To prevent the spread of this
broken np feeling the democratic minority
in the House has undertaken this large
job of filibustering.
There is no prospect of the arrest of the
Dublin assassins. Legislation for Ireland
is going along with good speed in the
House of Commons; measures for tho re
lief of the tenantry and for suppressing
outrages with greater facility keeping even
pace with each other.
Temperance moetings have been held
at Bellows Falls the past week by D. G.
Frost, a reformed inebriate and brother ef
K -v. C. 0. Frost, the Baptist clergyman
wlio lectured on tomperanoe through Ver
mont a few years ago. He was assisted
by C. T. Blake, a singer, and thoso who
attended spoke in highly appreciative
terms of tho efforts mado. Over two
hundred signatures have boon socured on
the pledge, some of them being what had
been considered " hard eases."
Rktuei.'s Centbnarian. Bethel has a
centenarian, a rival of Aunt Sally Stock

Aunt Huldah R iblnson, and she was 103

The supreme court of the district of Co
lumbia on Monday announced its decision
everrnling the exceptions in the Guitoau
cue. The only tning now in the way of
hinging Guiteau on the 30th of Juno is
the attempt of Mr. Reed, who is now sole
counsel, for Guiteau to obtain a writ of
habeas corpus of tbe supreme court of the
United States. The latter court is not now
in session and its Judges are authorized to
grant writs of habeas oorpus within their
respective jurisdiction. The trouble about
obtaining a writ from any one judge
instead of tho court is, thai t i.- dis'.riet ol
Columbia is not within any judicial circuit
to which a judge of the supnne coun i
assigned. S ' that it seems tuo technic n
lies of the law begin to work against tin
assassin instead of being always in lii
favor. James R. Osgood & Co. last fall issue.
a new edition of Walt Whinn-m's
" Leaves of Grass." Now tho attorney
general of Massachusetts considers the
work indecent and be has warned the
publishers to stop It. So they have quit
the publication, and have sold out their
interest to the old poet. The old man has
writton a great deal of alleged poetry that
isn't poetry, bnt some of bis work strango
3 it is is magnificent His poem on Lin
coln lis not what John G. Saxe onoe said
he hal in a certain poem endeavored to
reach, " pntbos and wit combined," but it
is pathos and grandeur oombinod. The
old man hasn't any intention of being
dirty and he and tbe Massachusetts attor
ney general can fight it out by themselves :
tho sale of tho book will never bo great
unless the attorney general gives it a
hootn.

It now looks as though Mr. Blaine
would not head the republican congres
sional ticket in Maine. Various business
and prudential reasons are assigned.
.Meanlimo some of tho frigbtenod stalwarts
think they see tho hand of Maine in the
revolt in Pennsylvania. But that revolt
looks as though it wa3 agninst boss rule
in general.
The independent republicans in Penn
sylvania held their state convention to
day. Senator Mitchell has mado a flam
ing speech against the Cameron rule and
it looks very much as if tho old republican
machine would get terribly shaken up in
Pennsylvania this fall. Tho probabilities
are that the result will bo a. democratic
victory; a thing that a great part of tho
republican party of that state very evi
dently prefors to the Cameron rulo that
viisso potent in 1880.

Washington Letter.
Washtngtos. D. C, May 20, "82.
Our national legislature Is composed
largely of lawyers. The first instinct of a
lawyer is to get a retainer. It is suspected
that there are firms, organizations, corpor
ations and even individuals In the United
States wealthy enough to retain congress.
I say it is suspected. I do not saj it is so.
The suspioion that a national legislature
is purchasable Is a terrible and a deplor
able suspicion. Benedict Arnold was foil
ed and his troachory was abortive. But,
if, after tbe accumulation of a century,
this lair republic can bo bought by a
whisky ring or a railroad ring, It is quite
time to build a monument to Benedict
Arnold. The Hon. James Beck, a native
of Scotland, bnt at present a senator from
Kentucky, delivered this week a long
argument in favor of a bill to enable dis
tillers to bold their whisky eight years
without tax. The principal distillers and
whisky merchants of the country have
formed a ring to procure legislation that
will enable them to ago tbelr whisky at
tho expense of tbe government. Senator
Beck from Scotland via Kentucky, is the
advocate for the ring. lie asserts that no
money has been used to influence legisla
tion exoept "legitimately." How money
can bo usod legitimately to influence legis
lation he has not explained. The law that
the whisky men want will enable the dis
tiller to bond his poison unstamped for
ninety-six months, which is the longest
period of bonded stowage allowed in the
bill, and it will deprive the national treas
ury of an imntense revenue.
RAILROAD LAND GRANTS.
Soveral years ago congress granted to
railroad corporations over 180,000 square
miles of land, or about llj,000,000 acres,
on condition that they should complete
these roads within a certain limited time.
The grant covers an area of territory larg
or than all of tho Xew England states, with
New York, ?ow Jersey, Pcnnyslvania
and Maryland thrown in. Up to the pros
ent time these roads have earned about
33,000,000 acres, and there remain about
82,000,000 not yot earned but claimed by
theso roads, and withheld from settlement.
Divided up into 100 aero homesteads, these
fortified grants would cive homes to a
population as largo as that of the state of
Ohio. These lands, forfoited throueh fail-
uro to complete the roads within the legal
limit, aro worth $300,000,000. These lands
belong to tho govcrnmont but they are
claimed by the railroads, which no longer
consist of sovon corporations but are con
solidated into throe or four powerful cor
porations, that, like tho whisky rin;, have
their advocates in the IIouso and in the
senate, and aro ablo to show a corruption
f.und beside which that of the Credit
Mubilier ould seem a bagatelle. Th
House couimittoe on tho judiciary are en
g iged in the investigation of the status of
te land grant railroads, and reports will
b nude as soon as conclusions are reach
e . Tim committee adopted it resolution
S'luT ten d iys since enjoining absolute
see .c upon its members, so that little is
aiioAn as In its iiction sn fur.
Tub pension bill fur the next year ap
j) "printes one hundred million dollars. Ii
in. tiucu proved that tho frauds on the
pension list are between live and twenty
p. r cent of the just awards. At tho lowest
liguro, this would ba $5,000,000 of the
present bill, at tbe highest $20,000,000.
Fraud has become a rogular business with
perfected machinery, handled by a host of
pension agents who havo grown so rich
within a few years that it ha3 been said
the increase of pensions bill was passed
through their influence, and for their bene
fit. Congress should do somettnng to pro
toct taxpayers from this robbery, which
could not be carried on without collusion
in the pension oflice.

-sever within the memory of the oldest
inhabitant of (he present generation has
nature been so generous iu her moods as
during the past six months. A winter of
unexamplod mildness has been followod
by a genial, fine spring, and, as a natural
result, the face of the land presents a most
charming appearance. Tho heart of the
English husbandman is elated. There is
abundance of grasp in the pastures, and
the promise of an abundant harvest in the
corn fields. The period fr snwiui: tho
best crops proved comparatively dry and
most favorable fcr all tillage operations;
but devoid of that long continuance of
barren aud blighting east wiuds, which in
the spring of 18S1 caused vegetation to be
so backward, and food for stock to be so
scarce.
The ouly check to tho -beautiful unfold
ing of spring was a slight one at the latter
part of March and during the early days
of April, when there wero severe frosts at
night accompanied for a short time by cast
winds. The weather prophets, who had
predicted all along that wo should bo
repaid sooner or later for the exemption,
from cold in winter by frosts and snow
when it should bo spring, thought that
their expectations wore about to bo real
ized ; but, strango to say; tho winds speed
ily shifted to the gonial south and brought
regular propitious April showers, altern
ated with sunshine. Tbe temperature
becamo sufliciently elevated for a fresh
start of vegetation to be everywhere ex
perienced, and the only evil inflicted by
ho frosts of about a month since appears
m the fl-ig of some wheat plants having
been turned yollow. Jfo grott injury was
luiio in this respect, however, and seldom,
if eror, havo the wheat fields throughout
the ciuntry presented so favorable an
ipeirincH at the oening of May as they
I i j mi n iw. ruo corn mtrkets soeiu
H i ly o i ti' . vi' n an evident pruspoci
') utlior i uuroVHtueiH. Pittliably, there-
bi -. i hose farm r- ho hive been able
ke.-p thoir wheat over the winter nntil
i il find thai lliey have done right.
S di, hai vo-t prosuuo.s will soon begin to
operate in nffrfutina; the tone of the general
uiiirkc', and, as these aro taken to bo in
dications of an early and abundant harvest
for English and continen tal wheat fields
there is probably littlo likelihood of wheat
getting up very muoh in price unless the
aspect of things in respect to harvest
prospects should greatly change.
The house ot commons was crowded
on Monday night, when Mr. Gladstone
make his annual financial statement; but
on this occasion it was by no means a
sensational budget. With expenditure
increasing, aud revenue, if not declining,
at least, as Mr. Gladstone himself admitted,
in a sluggish staie, there was no opportu
nity for those brilliant (eats of financo
which have in other years astonished, if
they havo not always del ijrhlnd, the nation
Mr. Gladstone's spoech occupied two
hours In delivery, and he was fortunato iu
being able to state that tho balance was
on the right side, although, of course,
only to a small extent. , Three hundred
and fifty thousand pounds is not a large
sum whero the expenditure has to bo fit
down at nearly eighty-live millions, le
proposed to spend tho bulk of the balance,
two hundred and fifty thousand pounds,
in til'1 relief af the highway rates, aud to
add to the old duty of two guinea? on four
wheeled carriages another guinea, and to
raise tho duty on two wheeled vehicles
from fiftoen shillings to a guineit. As
respectability was defined on a memorable
occasion as "keeping a gig, "respect-
ablo " pooplo will surely not ob ject to pay
six shillings a year more for tho high
privilege of boing considered rc3octablo.
Mr. Gladstone will have littlo difficulty
with such a budget as this. It is what
the Americans call " Holding on legisla
tion." It moroly serves a temnorarv nur-
poso.
Messrs. l'arnell, Dillon ami K'olly, the
threo members of parliament who were
arrested and sent to prison under the
coercion aot, have been set free, and, in
consequence of the decision of the govern
ment, Mr. Forster, chief seereUry to the
lord lieutenant of Ireland, has resigned
bis place in the counsels of the queen.
Although the storm was not ot Mr.
Ferster's making, be has been treated as
the Jonah of the cabinet, and thrown
overboard to lighten the vessel of the
administration on the new tack. Tho
late chief secretary bslieved anil s; ill
believes that tho time to release tho sus
pects cannot arrive until outrages cease
in Ireland. Mr. Gladstone and tho ma
jority of the cabinet think differently.
and so ho and they part company'.
Mr. Henry C. Jarre It has arrived in
London, and in a few weeks will produce
his entertainment, "Fun on tho Bristol,"
which had an extended and prosperous
run in tho United States. Mr. Janett
has cahlod for the original troupe, and
thoy will shortly arrive. ".Fun on the
Bristol," I hear from thoso who havo socn
it in Xew York, abounds in droll situa
tions and overflows with comicality. It
ought to capture the fancy of the provin
cial Britons during the smuuior months,
August.
Troubled Ireland.
Tho Now York Herald has some inter
esting cablo dispatches concerning the
aspect of Irish afl'iirs. They say : Mr.
Pitrnoll's hint of retirement from political
lifo was vory significant. Ono fact i
undouhted. Wo havo arrived at the turn
ing point of the history of Irish agitation
Mr. Uonly is spoken of ns tho coming
man. Whispers are abroad that the Irish
peasantry consider they have been be
trayed by Mr. Parnell and that the Land
League is beginning to lack the sinews of
war. thoy liavu spent money freely in
furthering their object and now the funds
are lowering and tho evil is almost un
touched. This is thought to liavo much
lo do with tho new departure.
n general apaiuy seems to Have crept
wer uie irisn peasantry. Since ihe re
joicings over the release of the parliauion
' try suspects mere nas oeon a romarkabic
absence ot crime in the country. Even
he stringent provisions of tho new coercioD
bill, as they become better known, do not
.'leate much excitement. It will be found,
no doub:, as tho organ of the land re
tormors this wook arirues. that tho admir
ers of Mr. Parnell in Ireland boliovo Mr.
Gladstone to have adopted tho programma
of tho leader of the L:tnd League in part,
and is only paving the way to adopt it
in ns umireiy.
lho atmosphero of the House diirinrr the
past low days lias been chstrgod with ru
mors of a startling nature anont the now
relations between tho Parnollltu members
and tho government. According to the
rumor-mongers tho compact of Kilmain
haui was to bo no unsubstant:nl treatv so
lar as ma uome rule members uro concern
ed. Some newspapers wont so far as to
Indicate the .eflices to be given as solid
peace oflenngs to the followers of Parnell.
The existence of any such corrunt ar
rangement is strenulously repudiated by
mo uoiub i mors. iiT. rumen's new
attitudo toward the government has caused
considerable dissatisfaction among the
younger members of the party who"lesirc
to narrass cue government under all cir
cumstances. the repression act is of lH0 most dras-
tic Character. If Dsssed in anvthhi" like
the present shape it will render public
aim political uution in Ireland impossible,
unless wbero men are in accord with the
government. Mr. Parnell hopes that bv
keeping tho Ilonse in a good temper and
allowing the unhappy imnression produced
by the Phoenix Park min ders lo fade out
ol ihe public mind, to s -urn such imuur
ant cbanges in the new i oo' cion biil as
will minimize its despotic character, so far
as ii is iesigned,to hamper political action.
uis conciliatory altitude in tbe House is
said by his intimate friends to bo dictated
by this motivo. It has, however, prodtieed
signs of insubordination among younger
uimuuei oi me party, more nas been
a good deal of mysterious head shaking
and grumbling, accompanied by somo-
tiiing iiko oopression among tho younger
men, but all imponant men, like Justin

It may be said that some will have t
snecial aptitude in a particular direction ;
that tbey possess one talent in excess of
others. Then cultivate and develop it. I
would by no means advise all young men
to bo farmers, or every young man to
always live in Vermont because he was
horn tnere. J tiers are exceptional cases
always. K a boy's mind runs naturally
towards some legitimate specialty, by all
means let him fellow it, and follow It, too,
where ho can do It most advantageously,
and, nil things considered, to the greatest
benefit to himself and thoso dependent
uxn him. But tho great majority of
young men are not specialists. Willi
ihero tire question still recurs. Wilt it pay
for me to continue my home In Vermont
and bncomo a farmer, or seek othor occu
pation or home elsewhercr
Tho youne man sees also now and then
one who has made a brilliant success in
his profession or trade, and is held up as
showing how much greater results may
bo expected in other linos than in
farming, and he hesitates before be at
tempts farming in Vermont, fearing that
at best but trilling gains will reward his
labors.
It is truo, painfully true, tbat many
Vermont farmers but barely make a com
fortable living for their families; bnt
would the some amount of labor, the same
IhowjIU, the same habits, bring them any
better results if directed in some other
channel? Are not these instances of mark
ed success always contingent upon the
governing! forco tbat turns all conditions
to favorable account? Is it reasonable to
suppose that the man who is careless, in
different or slovenly with his farming,
and consequently not successful, would
succeed hotter in any. other business
allowing tbe same habits to govern him?
Like heirets liko everywhere. Man must
be superior to the occupation to aciiieve
success in anything, successes are a!
ways heralded abroad, but failures rest
qnietly with their victims; and sometimes
one is led to suppose that success as a rule
may be won with but little exertion, when
in fact it is tho rare exception.
Are not the instances of marked success
as common among farmers as in any
other calling? Do not a larger per cent
of tho whole number succeed in finally
owning homes of their own than can be
found in any ether occupation? Is thore
any ono that cannot call to mind many
instances that have fallen under his own
observation in which the poor boy of
twenty or moro years ago is now the sole
owner of his fine, woll improved farm
and, it may be, holds his niortraros and
bonds besides, and his life is pointed out
as a financial success? And are instances
of this kind less common in Vermont than
elsewhere?
Oue of tho leading sheep breeders in
western Vermont, wliose tlock is now
otrerlv sought after by buyers of thor
oughbred Merinos from tho west and even
from far off Texas, at almost fabulous
prices, commenced his businoss over thirty
years ago, nis oniy money capital beins;
two common sheep which he bought with
tits first earning, lliat his quiet, unob
trusive Hie has been a success ts oovious
to all. This is only ono illustration, nnd
it is by no means an isolated ono. l.very
town can luruisn many similar eases
either in this or some othor of the differ
ent branches of farm industry, showing
that coon lunginent, economy and per
sislenee are as suro to win in farming as
in anything else.
Rut it is said that our hills are steep
anil roeKy; tnat our ciimato is severe;
that much ot our soil is poor and worn
out. SupH.iing we admit this; let tho
poorer and more inaccessible portions
grow up to timber wo shall neod it all as
soon as it is grown. Will it pay to aban
don all the fertile valleys and slopes, and
the good land scattered everywhere
through inn state Because it is not nil
unniixod with evil? Go where von will
some drawback, some unpleasant feature
is always found. Tho place cannot bo
found on tins earth where soil, water,
climate, all exist under tho most favorable
conditions.
If our mountains aro steep and ni22ed
they catch the gathering clouds and tho
rain is prooipitated in gontlo showers so
that long continued, burning droughts
never occur. They break tho force of the
wind, and tho death deahntr cyclono can
never gather sufficient force to sweep with
its relentless lury over our lulls and
throti"h our valloys. Tho blackened
desolate track of the lire fiend, strown with
the charred remains ot.its victims, is never
seen among our homes and the terrible
scourge of the grasshopper is unknown
u one oi our clear mountain springs
could be placed in some of tho richest
portions of tbe Mississippi valley it would
te welcomed as a nonanzi. JH.mv
western farmer would gladly exchange
acres of his rich alluvial soil for one acre
of our numerous rocky ridges whore stone
stumble lor building purposes may be
found.
It is siid that the majority of farms in
Vermont are under mortgage, manv of
which can never be canceled; that
fitriniii!! paid as it .should this condition of
tlnnes would not exist. Is this anything
new or peculiar to larming or to this state?
II. im it not always been so, and do we not
find the same every where nud in all kinds
of business? Go the so called richest por
tions ot our country, and I venture to say
you will find lands as heavily encumbered
and foreclosures as frequent as in the
poorer parts of Vermont.
Tho lime was not long since, when the
energetic young man could accept the
famous advice, " Go west," and, with
little or no capital, after a few years' la
bor and privation, secure some land, see
the country developed aionud him and
the rise in the value of his property make
him a competence. Many tortnnes have
boen made in this way; but that timo is
now passed except in an occasional place,
and it is very doubtful, too, where that
place may now be found. Capital is of
more importance thore now even than
hero, and it is a question worthy of favor
able consideration whether tho same capi
tal will not secure more real benefits in
Vermont than in the west or south. With
out capital it is the role, almost without
exception, that a man can do better in any
01 mo eastern slates tnan in tho west,

it is not an aiiuviai ueposit tnai mine
form of dust or mud three-fourths of tho
year stickoih closer than a brother lliat
makes man b tppy or home pleasant. Man
cannot live by bread alone, and something
more than wheat, even, is necdo,iI. Corn
may be raised very cheaply, but it can
never ba raised cheaply enough to mako
cheap fuel. Farmers can never afford to
raio grain for profit when it takes two
bushels to enrrv tbe third to market.
Nature has not been parsimonious of
her cilts to Vermont! the conformation of
the country, bur diversity of soil, nearness
to m il knf, exemption from all storms of
groat severity, pure air and water every
whore, fuel in abundauoe, proximity to
si lio-jls, churches and all lho benefits of
established soeioty, laid looatod but a few
miles from railroads which can ho bought
in (iinntities large or small, nnd much of
it for less than tho buildings, fonccs and
improvements have cost. These are all
important factors, and aro some of tho
inducements Vermont offers to young men
to remain nnd make thoir home within ber
bordois. Will It pay, then, to disregard
all these, or look upon them credulously.
seeing only the disagreeable, and lon&ing
to start forth in search of that El Dorado
which always lies just beyond tho grasp?
If Vermont is so poor a state tbat Us
fanners cn hardly live, how is it that so
ii nun capital lias been accumulated on
theso hill farms and font to tho west for
investment? Many a western farmer Is
to-day toiling as best be can, plowing, it
may bo, evory acre bo possesses, to raieo
enough wheat and corn to meet his inter
est dnn snmo frugal Vermont farmer.
Many are the instances whore our I
young men have left some of tbo poorer
of Vermont farms, hardly estoeming
them worth taking as a gift, so elated
were they witu the hope of speedily
aceuired wealth, and alter a few years'
earnest trial of unremitting toil and uincb
discomfort, nave returned wltb eager sat
isfaction to the former despised Vermont
home. Thcso aro facts which havo come
under tbe observation of every one, and
what do they showr 11 they snow any
thing they provo tbat the average Vermont
farm has in it the elements ot a coiuiort-
ablo living and success, ready to yield
them up to biut who has the intelligence
and the will to develop them.
Numerous well authenticated instances
can be cited of crops grown in Vormont
fully equaling the largest yields reported
elsewhere. Fifty bushels of wheat, one
hundred bushels of oats, three hundred
bushels of potatoes and three tons of hay
per acre havo been harvestod in many
instances, nnd sometimes even more.
Corn has been rniscd many times ata cost
not to exceed thirty fivo cents per bushel.
Census returns show tbat the average
yield per acre of our staplo crops is far
above tho average of most other states.
I have as yot said nothing of the inex
haustible deposits of marbio and slate
found here In their grcntest perfection nnd
many other sources of mineral wealth.
Nevertheless, these too are most import
ant items In the resources of Vermont,
furnishing profitable employment to thou
sands of her citizens in working them.
and in turn making a nomo market for
what other thousands of farmers can raise.
Wo have thus passed in rapid review
some of the advantages which Vermont
offers the young man to make his home
within her borders and gain his living
from ber soil. Lot us suppose a case of
the averago young man of Vermont who,
after mature deliberation, has decided to
become a tiller of the soil of bis native
state. " Will it pay " him to be content to
log along in the ruts worn by uls lathers
without aucmpung any improvements!'
Will it pay for him to sneer at scientific
investigation and book farming, so called?
Will it pay for him to think that all of
successful farming depends upon the
amount of muscular force exerted and
none upon the brain power employed? If
bo docs thus think and net it will not be
many years before he will be ready to
exclaim with tho croakers. Farming is a
slavish life hero in Vermont and never
pays anyway, pointing to his own lifo as
tbe adorning illustration.
The conditions of successful farming
have greatly changed during the last
thirty years and the wide awake farmer
will chango bis plans accordingly. Much
of tho soil requires different manipulation,
markets have changed, routes of trans
portation have multiplied, competition has
increased, and as a natural consequence
mediocre or inferior products meet with
slower sale than ever before While tho
interior product, if sold ot all, can only
be sold at a price below the cost of pro
duction, the same product, if it be of supe
rior merit, rarely fails to bring a reran
nerative price.
Will it not pay, then, for him to call lo
his aid all the assistance) that ho can?
While learning all that be can by bis own
careful observation lot him not hesitate to
appropriate the results of others' investi
gations, thus reducing book farming,
which is only an epitome of others' trials
and researches, to a practical form a
form in which it always pays.
It will not pay to raise twenty bushels
of corn to the aero when the same land by
more thorough tillage and a little judicious
fertilization can be made to produce forty
bushels. It will never pay to keop cows
produoing no more than ono hundred
pounds of butter per yoar, or to make
butler that will have to bo sold in tho
market fur less than oleomargarine. It
will not pay any farmer to spend his time
lounging about tho villago store complain
ing of the hard times and enumerating
the roasons why farming cannot be made
to pay.
Tho present lias boon called an ago of
industry. If it is so. it strikes nto that
the ago of tho stone hatchet, tho wooden
plow and tho sioklu must havo been an
ago of most intense industry. They may
havo answered thoir ptirposo In their duy,
but that time is past, and no man can now
rely on muscle alone. Brawn may accom
plish much, but brain accomplishes more,
and it is only when both are properly
combined that the best results are obtained.
No farmer of the present dav can reason
ably expect succoss unless he directs his
labor by proper thought, and tho more
study, tne more intelligence ho combines
with his labor, tho more ho appllos prac
tically the conclusions of bis own and
otheis' most careful observations tho
greater his success will be.
All this involves something of a new
departure in farming. Will it pay? By
tho light of the past lot us gathor wisdom
for the future. Nowhere has the cultiva
tion of the soil, the application of fertil
izers, the raising of crops, the breedin"
nnd caro of stock been reduced to such a
system and scienco as in England. There
it is made to pay, and is tho only kind of
larming that pays at all, lor thoir condl
tions are not so favorabie as ours. Here
we have no fearful burden of the rent roll.
no exactions for tho support of royalty.
and tbe natural conditions aro certainly as
favorable, thus showing that tho same
method and system which has elevated
the agriculture of hnland to so hiah
plane, patiently and persistently applied
to the husbandry of Vermont would
change what is doubtful or unprofitable to
tnatwnieliis certain nud remuneratue.
Will it not pay, then, to make every
acre, whether meadow or pasturo, produce
to its utmost capacity? See to it tbat
expense and labor aro not wasted in keep
ing worthless or unproductive animals.
Judicious caro and skillful management
always pays, fills tho garners with plenty,
produces wealth sufficient to satisfy all
reasonable desires and causes peace,
plenty and prosperity ro prevail through
out the commonwealth.
A majority of tho commissioners to
wliom was referrod the matter of rates
charged by the Central Vermont for haul

enough to admit the separate sticks of

Railway Mattkhs. The easo of Hall
vs. tho Central Vermont railroad was
argued before Judgos Blatchford and
Wheeler atjWimlsor. tho 18th. The histo
ry of this case shows that some year or
more ago the orator Hall, a student in the
otliceot F. A. Brooks, in Boston , became
the nominal possessor of a few shares of
the stock of the Uentral Vermont railroad
company, purchased from a bankrupt
estate, and brought this bill ostensibly lo
enforce his rights. The defendants claimed
that the stock was purobased for the sole
purpose of instituting vexatious litigation.
