VERMONT WATCHMAN & STATE JOUUNAL, WEDNESDAY AUGUST .17, 1898,
AGRICULTURAL.
Tlie Mnko U) of tho Kow Englniid
Farmer.
Tho uativo Now Englaudor has tho
grcat advantago of bclug dcace'ndcd
froni a llno of auccstry notcd for tho
inost part for their euorgy, thrift, in
tolllgonco, pationco, and porsovoranco.
Otbcr nntlonnlities liko tho Scotch
havo nioro or lcss of thcso charactcris
ticB, nnd whorovcr you flnd a peoplo
thus charactorized, you will flnd pros
pority, and a high dcgrco of civiliza
tion. Thus New England 1b ono of
tho moat civilized communiticB on tbo
carth. Llvo In Vermont thirty or
forty years and then go outaido of
Now England west or south and you
will find wldc dlfferenccB; uaually
thero wili bo lesa of culture and tbrift.
Of coureo thero are many spots ono
can find wbero tbo peoplo aro of Now
England stock and aro tho cquals of
tho dwellera In tbo old home, but tak
ing tbo wholo country througb, a mau
finds characteristics in tbat little cor
lior of tho land tbat ho does not find
clBowhere.
Tho farmors havo many of thcm had
a hard timo, what Buccesa they have
attained haa beeu wreated from a soil
which a weatern farmcr would desplBo
and turn hla back upon. Ilenco he
bad to have tbo power for bard work,
and tho ability to turn off a grcat deal
of work and yet do it well. IJut a man
ehould not go too far in hard work.
Many a man and very many womon
have died long beforc their time, just
because of overwork. And it is very
doubtful if their work waa worth their
lives. They had a thouaand times bet
ter have worked leaa and lived longer.
It ia the greateat folly for peoplo to kill
themaelves by overwork when tbere ie
no call for it, when they aro only work
ing to get a little more of this world'a
property. Then on the other hand,
there are many people who for tho
lackof a little energy and pusli and
hard,, work aro poor, aomo very poor,
lacking evcn tho comforta of life.
But the Now England farmer ia gen
erallyiof a working kind. He haa got
a home by sticking to hia work, ho
sticks to a job till it is done. And then
he knows the value of a dollar. Hia
money comea hard, and he is not carc
less with it. But here aa in work there
ore two extremes. A peraon may bo
too aaving for hia own good, or he may
too liberal. It ia tho right path wo
wantj to walk in. Lota of peoplo are
ready cnough to apend money on them
aelves, Jfor.tobacco or some aimilar folly,
whenjthey are very aaving if othera of
their own families need anything. Far
mers need to watch themaelves aa to
this. Some mcn have got into such a
habit of aaving that they are not will
ing their wivea and children should
have things which they very much
need aud ought to have. Many a man
haa thus aaved aud hoarded up money
nnd property to leavo to his cbil
dren, hurting them both by refuaing
themjeducation and oiher needed things
when they were young, and by leaving
them aj fortune which they had no
traiuing to care for and aoon lost. Bet-
ter far to give children advantages
when they are young, teach them to
UBe4money, give them as good an edu
cation aa they can be afforded, and
leavo them lesa when you die.
Ono characterialic of theao farmers
ia their quick adaptation to new condi
tiona. Take the silo. Go south and
you will not find in many parts of the
south a aingle silo, will not find a man
whohaaJoven aeen ono. Tho northern
farmer haa changed and kept up with
the timea and is fairly proaperoua. The
aouthern farmer has fallen back behind
and haa no prospcrity. Tho weatern
farmer has run ahcad of tho times and
he haa bcen a Borry being for ycara,
but now prosperity haB Btruck him hard
in many parts, and he is getting on to
hia feet onco moro. It is not well to
bo too faBt or too alow in going on with
tho timea. Better not to got ahead of
them nor fall behind, but keep right
along ao aa to bo thero on time. It
takea good judgment to know how to
do this, 'but tho northern farmer has
that aa a part of hiB inhoritanco. His
fathers know when to leavo Old Eng
land and when to cut freo from her,
and the modorn Yankee farmor has
been blesaed with wiadom to do a great
many thinga at the right time.
Strongth of body, Boundness of miud,
ability to work, careful managemont,
and wiso adaptation to exlsting condi
tions, theso arosomo of tho parts of the
make-up of tho Now England farmer.

ConiposlUoti of Coru l'lnnt,
Whon tho coru is rlno or nearlv ao,
tho dry mattor which tho crop containB
is found. about onc-half in tho cars,
less than a third in tho atalks, and onc-
fitth in tbo loavcs. About onc-half of
tho total proteiu (flesh formlng) con
tont of tbo plaut, 58 por cont of tho
albuminold nitrogon, C4.7 por cont of
tho nitrogon freo oxtract and but 17.4
of tbo aah elemontB aro fouud in tho
cars. In tho caso of swoot coru 25 por
cont of tho total dry mattor, G3 of tho
protoin and 00 J- per cont of tho nitro
gon freo oxtract woro found in tho cars.
Of sorghum tho largor sharo of tho
total weight in dry mattor is louutt m
tho stalks; but, on tbo othor hand, 45
per cont of tho protoin is in tho leaves,
n little moro than a third in tho tops
and lcss than a flfth in tbo stalks.
Those oxporiments go to show that in
harveBling eituor ot tucso torago crops
attention ehould bo glven to tho pro
scrvation of tho lcavca and stalks, ainco
thoy contain bo largo a proportion of
tho nutritivo ingredionls. In 1807 it
waa found that when tho coru was
ncarly ripo lcss than half the dry mat
tor was in tho oars, tho othor half be
ing about cqually dividcd betwoon tho
stalks and lcavca.
Ono way of prcBcrving tho fodder in
good shapo for fceding ia to put both
oars and fodder into tho silo (Frof. C.
D. Smith, Bullotin 154, Michigan ox
perimont atation). Aa to tho atago of
ripeness at which tho crop should bo
cut, tho rcBultB of tho exporimonts car
ried on in 1890 and 1897 go to show
that tho maximum yield of dry matter
aud nutrients ia obtained by allowing
tho crop to maturo until tho eara aro
well glazed. Between tho time when
tho kernals begiu toglazo and full ripc
neBS thero ia a gaiu of ovor one-eighth
in dry mattor, ono-sixth in atarch,
augar and other carbohydratea and one
fifth in fat. Tho study of the loases in
tho silo goea to show that thero may bo
danger of allowing the corn to stand
too long, especially in hot and dry
weather, making the silage too dry to
aecuro the proper fcrmeutation. No
regular and conaiatent variation in ex
tont of loaa waa uoted which could bo
related to tho ago of tho corn when cut.

Caoutchouo oil iB said to have proved
cllicient in provonting rust, and to havo
been adopted by thc German army. It
onlv requires to bo spread with a picce
of flannel in a very thin layer ovor the
metallic surface and allowed to dry up.
Such a coating will afford security
agniust all atmospberic influenccs, and
will not show any cracks under the
microscopo af ter a year's atanding. To
remove it, tho article haa aimply to bo
treated with caoutchouo oil again, and
washed after twclve to twonty-four
houra.
A solution of india-rubber in benzine
has been uacd for years as a coating for

aimplo meana of keepingthem from ox
idizing. It can bo eaaily applicd with

should be mado about the conaiatency

All steel articles can bo perfectly pre
aerved from ruat by putting a lump of
freahly-burnt limo in the drawor or
caao in which they are kept. If things
are to bo rnoved (as a gun in ita caae,
for inBtance) put the limo in a ruualin
bag. This ia especially valuablo for
Bpecimona of iron when fractured; for,
in a moderately dry placo tho lime will
not want any renewiug for many years,
aa it ia capable of absorbing a largo
quautityof moisture. Articlea in use
should be placcd in a box ncarly fllled
with thoroughly pulverized alaked lime.

Tho How of It.
I kuow of a man who ia alwaya right
up with hia work, ao that when the Bea
aon comea to euter upon any particular
kind of buaiueaa he is ready. His work
nover seems to crowd him; ho is,
rather, the oue who does the crowding.
It haa bcen aomethiug of a mystory
to this roan'a uoighbora how he iB able
to be just at tho front at all seaaona of
tho year. I havo takeu somo paina to
study hia mothods, and I think I have
discovered his secret.
I flnd that this man is alwaya to bo
found on the apot. Ho haa little timo
to spend around the village; you will
not flnd him thero at any timo of tho
year. Ho knows what ia going on, and
how it iB going on. Then ho haB thinga
ready for business when tho aeaBon
openB. Ho is not obliged to apond two
or three daya vibrating between hia
farm and tho blackamith or carpentor
8hop. All ropairs aro mado when work
is not crowding. Machiuery iB put
away in condition to hitch outo whon
needed noxt ycar. I aawthis man get
ting out hia mower to-day. Inatead of
being compelled to grind up a aot of
knivca, he had a aot ground, ull ready
to Blip in. The aamo way with tho
reapor and othor tools. In this way
valuablo timo is aaved.
Again, ho buys hia sood in tho win
tor, when it is lowor in prico than it is
later in tho aeaaon, and haa it on hand
roady for ubo. Hia secd corn is care
fully braidod and hung away ovory fall,
so tbat ho knons just whero ho ia to
flnd it whon plantiug timo comes. The
neighbora havo discovered that he haa
thiB syatem, and flock to him ovory
spring, knowing that ho will have aeed
corn if any ono has.
This man also haB a fair supply of
carpentor tools, 80 that if any broakago
comea ho may repair tho tool without
being compelled to apend half a day at
tho village. Ho koops n fow pulloya
for tho horaefork on hand, and a good
aupply of bolts, rlvets, naila, acrows,
etc.
Ono thing more I havo noticod, aud
that is that thiB man has hia day's work
dono early. Very little goini: about
with a lauteru to do chores. lluaincBs
ia ao shaped that aundown sees mattcrs
cloaed up. This ploaao8 hia hauds, and
they aro ready to work a littlo bardor
early iu tho day for tho sako of a half
hour'd roat iu tho evouing.
I faucy I hear some ono say: "Oh,
woll; thatniau ia forehanded, aud has
rueans at his eomraand to do those
things. Not all of us could do that
way." Uut it ia followiug such a syB
tem that haB mado him forobanded. It
was not a chanco thing that ho bocamo
ao. Perhaps thero may bo a poiutor in
this article which it mfght pay somo to
follow. New YorkTribune.

Tho parents rule in a czar-liko manner

doing business for themselvcs. They
havo not been allowed to go into so
ciety any moro tban probably to attend
diatrict school iu wintor and to go to
church now and then on Sundays.
When thoy flnd thernselves thrown up
on their own responslbility they aro
backward and with a very limited
education they aro forced into tho rear
ranks of social and political life. All
they know ia to go through with tho
ordinary routino of agricultural work,
without knowing tho why or "what

scarcely an artistic one. The glaBB top
is not a bad idoa in itself, but tbo plast

C011N. BecolptB have been liberal tlurlng

conslderably Blnce our laat week'ly ronort.
jjoai, uiurrow pea aro now nartl to sell at
over 81.25. Yellow eyes and red kidneys
oinauj uuii IjUltSb Ub llUOlUllOna.
OAT8. There Is a qulet business dolntr,
but the market holda about ateady ln the
moderate way supplles are being takon. At
the close the price for No. 2 cllpped white
oata on track bllled throuRh ia about 33J to
31c, with fancy cllpped white at 30. Low
er grades range down aa to quality.
Chbbse. Uecelpta for export 1,030 boxes.
Thero has been little change slnco our laat
report. Trade has been nulet. extra north
ern small Bizea Belllng in small lots at 7 to
8o, with fair to good grades in full aupply
and dull at to 7o. Sage cheese dull at 8c
for best. Western twlns and Ohio tiata in
Ught supply and ateady.
Hay and Stkaw. The market ahowa no
materlal change, tho demand ruling alow
for all kiudp, although choice grades are
steady. The aupply of fancy hay ia amall
and this keep values ateady. Lower grades
are being recluced in Btock aomewhat owing
to genoral Ught receipta, but pricea on such
aro no atronger. Kye atraw la dull and
salea average amall, while prlces continue
low. Oat atraw nomlnal.
Eooj. Wo havo had a dull market for
tho past week for the general run of fresh
stock. The weather haa beeu hot and
muggy and most arrivals moro or leaa af
fected. Averago gradea of freab weatern
havo met with a very alow sale at 13 to Uo
with some very badly heated lota ranglng
down to 12c. Strictly fancy fresh are iu
llmlted supply and thero are stillsomeaales
of extra Michigan at llc. Moderate eales
continue from cold storage at 13 to 13J.
Butteh. Kecelpta are moderato and ao
large a proportion Bhow hot weather defects
that the supply of strictly extra freab cream
ery is llght, but demand ia also llghr and
the advance in prlces slnco our laat reporf
haa been cauaed more by the atrong advicea
from the country and other markets than
from any improvement here. Strictly extra
northern creamery la now generally rlrm at
lSJe, bnt aella slowly. Extra western
steady at 10c, with somo of the best in aa
aorted slzes held at liHc. Firats hold
ateady at 17 to 18c. Iinitation creamery la ia
llght aupply and some of the tineat brings
10c. Fine box butter ateady. Prints aell
ing more freely.
Flour. Tho market for llour ia yet very
dull and buyers are only operating to meet
their presalng needs, While pricea have
declined largely aince the break in the
Chicago wheat corner, there ia every proa
pect of yet lower pricea when new wheat
goods come in moro freely, and conaequent
ly buyers are not iucllned to stock ahead at
present values. Spring patents are yet
quotable for old wheat goods at 4.50 to
4.80, the latter for fancy branda, but new
wheat spring patents for October ahipment
cau be purchased at S4.15 to 4.40. The
poaition of wintor wheat flours ia unchang
ed, patents from new wheat being quoted
from inill at 4.00 to 4.25 while clear and
Btraigkts rauge from $3.25 to 1.00. Low
grades continue dull.
Wool. There is vory little encourage
ment ln buslnees aa It standa today. The
demand Is of no greater atrength than it
was laat week, and indeed the current sales
are of leaaer volume. Trade as a wholo has
been rather qulet and the buying element
has been limited. There are potent rea
sons, however, for the present week being a
dull one, and far from taking diacourage
ment from no greater extent to purchaaea,
the trade are inclined to look upon the in
creasing distribution of sample bales with
aome aatiafaction with reference to futare
aalea. Worated mills have largely kept
aloof from the market this week as the
goods Bltuation has not developed to tnake
purchases necesaary.
Lumber. A better feellng is noticeablo
iu the lumber trade, which can be attribut
ed to no other reaaou than that tbe proa
pects of peaceareat hand. One who has
followed tho lumber market, however, ,can
readlly understand how such a prospect
would have a most benelicial effect upon
the general lumber trade, so depresaed has
it been for inonths back. The war has a
most depressinglniluenco upon real estate
buildlng, and tho lumber market was there
by directly allected. Though thu tone ot
tbe market bo improred it has not as yet
resulted lu much new businesB. It can
hardly be said to bo due to the fact that
this 1b Auguat, as dealers aay they have
known the timo when Auguat was the beat
montli ln tho year for business. It is most
llkely, howover, that the trade will not
commence to purchaso ln any couaiderable
quantity until September.
