Here is story of the way in which
a Vermont girl regained her health
and made money:
"a farmers daughter in delicate
health, living on the Vermont side of
the Connecticut river, took charge of
twelve hens in February, 1867. Part
of the hens we're set with turkeys
eggs. The flock of chickens and tur-
keys was quite numerous and well
fattened by Thanksgiving. Several
eggs were used in the family during
the first year, and seven turkeys (the
best ones) given away at Thanksgiv-
ing. Much the same iiberality was
used each year. The total cash re-
ceigod for e, gs and poultry during
the three years was three hundred
and thirty-four dollars and fifty cents.
The cost OF keeping was fully met by
the eggs used in the family; so the
above amount is clear profit. In ad-
dition to this the invalid is much i'm
proved in health. The food for the
fowls was mainly corn and cob meal,
given warm in cold weather; boiled
potatoes and hog-scraps, an excellent
addition give occasionally. Few
know the real profit of keeping hens.
So many think they don't pay that lit.
lie care is given them. Let them
have good comfortable quarters and
iood properly prepared and they are
the most profitable Investment a far
mer can make, requiring SO little cap.

The St. Adams Messenger thus
| notes the sale Of what it calls "gilt
/ edged" butter
Mr.. c. II. Dixon, a very wealthy
gentleman from St. Louis, and the
same who is building the great Mis-
sissippi River Bridge, spent a few
weeks at the Weldon House last sum
ner, and was so much pleased witt
the gilt edged" butter always founc
upon the table that since his return
home he has requested Mr.. Sublett tc
send him some Of the same sort, anC
IN compliance with the order, severa
packages Of the finest in the marker
have been forwarded. This is Ger
tainly complimentary 10 the dairy in
terests of Franklin County and ar
equal compliment to the table of th(
Welden. 1propos to this. We may
state that Mr.. Gooda!e, Secretary O
the Maine Board Of Agriculture, ex
presses himself highly pleased witt
the butter recently procured for hiu
here by Mr.. 0. ;. Bliss. As an in
,tructive fact tor the farmers it is oul
| iuty to state that the butter which
thus adds glory to our market is man
utactured by those who employ til,
most modern and improved process
es. and who trust less to their ingcnu
| ity in selling than to their skill anC
honesty in making. Such butter al
ways brings the highest price anC
fluids a ready market anywhere-evel
in Chiua-for more than once has i
been forwarded to the Celestial En-
Pire.

front door Of the store, by boring
hole near the lock, intending afte
weakening it in this manner to fore
the door open. Having failed t,

to raise the sash and get inside Of th
store. They next broke open tn

Company, who lives in a house &C
joining the store, being unweIl, had OF
