THE ROAD TO sLUMBER-LAND.
BY MARY ID. BRINE

By MARY d. BRINE.
What is the road to and when does the
baby go
The road lies straight through mothers arms when
the sun is sinking low.
He goes by the drowsy land Of nod tothe music oil
lullaby"
When all wee lambs safe in the fold, under the
evening sky.
soft little night gown clean and white; face washed
sweet and fair;
mother brushing ihe tangles out Of the skengoldeh
hair;
Two little tired satiny feet, from tho shoe and the
stocking free;
Two little palms together clasped at the mother s
patient knee;
Some baby words that drowsily lisped to the ten
der Shepherds ear;
And kiss that only mother place on the brow Oh
her baby dear:
little round head which nestles at last close to the
mothers breast,
And the lullaby soft and low singing the song OF rest
And close aud closer the blue-veined lids are hiding
the b4by-eyes,
As over the road to sumber land the dear ittel tray
eler hies.
For this is the way. through mothers arms all LITTLE
babies go.
To the beautiful city of sumberlaud when the sun II
sinking low.

Our Reports,

The full reports of the meetings of the
superintendent of agricultural affairs have
LETT little room for our extracts from other
agricultural journals, but We believe our
readers will agree with as In recognizing
these reports, with the papers read at the
meetings, as of the first value. as they are
expressions of opinion by practical farm.
ers. on subjects on which they are familiar
and which we do not succeed in getting
them to ,orite. We attach much value tc
practical experience of our farmers, am
wish we could secure more Of it for oul
own benefit and for the readers of our de:

AMERICAN DAIRYMEN's ASSOCIATION
This organization also held its meeting ut
Utica during this week. The other mat
tiers were so much more absorbing that the
speakers could hardly be held in their
positions long enough to tell the empty
benches what the agricultural colleges had
failed to teach them. In fact, it was only
after the adjournment of the convention oil
the international Dairy Fair Association
that any one took any interest in the ad.
dresses being delivered here, They Were
in no wise different from those of other
years, and it WAS comical to hear each
advocate state in glowing terms the rising
beauties of his lavorite breed of caitle,and
us the speakers with different opinions fol-
lowed each other in immediate rotation,
the audience was completely bcwldered.
So, with the salt question: Professors,
agents. dairymen, and dealers advocated
this, that. or the other brand of salt with
u decided learning in point of numbers

retary on this subject.-L. S. Hardin in

AS this is great interest in Vermont
and northern New HAMPSHIRE, and 50
much of our business prosperity depends
upon the lumber either directly or indi-
recly Il few words upon the way things
are done by mill men believe to be of
general interest. As had the pleasure Il
few days ago of looking through the ex-
ten>ive mills of Browns Lumber Com
pany" of Whiteiicld, N. H., will speak
somewhat in detail of their work. While
they possess more capital than most deal.
ers in lumber, their indomitahle energy
and manful perseverance, under difficulties
would ensure success in any of life's avo.
cations, even without capital. The com
pany consists of Aaron Ordway of Law
renee, Mass, and Alison l. Brown and
Warren G. Brown of Whitefield. The
company has paid-in capital of half a
million, while their 81, 200 acres of timber
land, much of it heavily timbcred with
pine, and their immense stock of lumber
of all kinds, constantly on hand, so as to
fill any order at short notice, represents at
low valuation over three-quarters of a
million. Their annual sales are fourteen
million feet of boards and dimension
stuff, five million shingles, three hundred
thousand OF clapboards and IL million and
half of hath.
They employ about three hundred men.
and their seventeen mills and lumber
sheds mt Whitelield cover acres, to say
nothing of their dwellings, boarding
houses, etc. Their principal mill is two
hundred and fifty feet in length, by one
hundred and sixty feet wide, containing
circular board saws, clapboard saws,
single machines, stave saws, ETC., in the
upper story, while planners and various
small saws and machines are on the lower
floor. On the opposite side of the river is
mill two hundred and ninety feet long,
by fifty-one feet wide, containing all the
various machines for getting out finish,
making boxes, etc. This machinery is run
by turbine wheel of one hundred and
forty horse power, and three large porta
BILE engines of over three hundred horse
power. Though their mills are guarded
against fire in the best possible manner.
and spray thrown up their smoke stacks,
killing the cinders from the furnace fires,
they have had two visitntons of the fire
fiend, first having their lumber set on fire
by a locomotive and over twenty thousand
dollars burned in 1873; and their paper
mill burned in 1876, when theirloss reach
ed seventy Thousand dollars. If it had
not been for their foresight in providing
force pumps and fine steamer fire en-
CINE. either of those fires would have
burned all their mills and sheds. They
carry about one hundred and fifty thou.
sand dollars of insurance placed with
twenty of our best insurance companies.
This of course provides against anything
but sweeping con6agration, which with
their advantages for drowning out fire
renders them very secure.
The labor connected with the mills is on
the systematic plan. Everything from the
