SEMINARY HILL.-rhe feld-day exercises of
last Friday were a success and the association
may congratulate themselves upon having estab-
lished precedent for other schools. The weather,
although somewhat unpleasant in the morning,
by ten o'clock was quite favorable. Mr. Upham
not putting in an appearance, Mr.. f. S. Scott was
appointed to act as judge in his place The at
tendance for the forenoon was not large owing
no doubt to the morning shower, but early in the
afternoon the crowd commenced to gather and at
two o'clock large aud appreciative audience had
come together and still later after the adjourn
ment of the legislature, quite a number OF repre-
sentatives favored us with their presence. Much
credit is due Professor Southworth Tor having an
ticipated the wants OF the crowd and built large
raised platform which was literally patronized
by the ladies To give a complete account OF the
proceedings in our limited space would be impos-
sible, but we would notice OF the forenoon exer-
cises the wheelbarrow and potato races were
especially interesting, also the half-mile run. In
the latter the running time was two minutes and
nineteen seconds, and in the afternoon the sack
race, although short, was quite ludicrous and
ELECTED much applause. The mile walk and hun
dred-yard dash were executed in good time con-
sidering the poor track. The former was ac-
complished in nine minutes and thirty-eght and
a half seconds and the latter eleven and one-half
seconds. The rope-pull WAS undoubtedly the
most interesting event OF the day. The contest
was long and strong one and finally declared
draw. both sides having become much exhausted
The judges, Messrs, Stone and Scott, did their
duty well. We heard no complaints of unfair de-
cisions, which is something unusual at such a
time. In connection with this another item
strikes us being prominent-no one was hurt
1t is quite common on like occasions for broken
or at least sprained limbs to be altogether too
numerous. But as this passed off with no mis-
haps, and we have reason To think good has come
of 1t, we shall look forward with pleasure to the
time when the association shall celebrate its
second annual field day

FINE WOODS OF VERMoNT-Dr. II. A. Cutting
curator of state cabinet has been making dame
ter measurements OF the fiber Of wool for the
Vermont Merino Sheep Breeders Association.
These measurements have been made under
microscopic power of three hundred diameters,
with stage micrometer verified by microme-
ter eye piece. The average measurement for
each fleece OF wool has been found by taking the
mean of at least one hundred different measure
ments of fiber from different parts of the fleece;
so great accuracy has been attained through an
almost infinite amount of labor In 1856 similar
measurements were undertaken by William
Youath, and also by Mr. Powell of London At
that time Merino wool measured $50 to .033 of a
millimeters. DR.. Cuttings measurements show
that many of the improved Merinos OF Vermont
yield heeces as fine as Ola, and none OF the best
bloods are cOarser than ,030, which was the very
finest in 1856 There are, however, at this time,
sheep in Australia and on the Cape OF Good
Hope that yield wool as fine as 0l2 of MILL
meter. These measurements show a wonderful
advance in the fineness of Vermont Merinos, and
II our sheep husbandmen are able to keep on at
this rate OF improvement, 1t requires but a few
years longer for us to excel in fine wool sheep.
In fact we may be able to challenge the world for
the equal The immunity of Vermont sheep from
diseases doubtless owing to our fine pasturage,
enables us to rival even countries that might
seem better fitted for sheep husbandry; and this
should induce many more to become breeders Of
sheep, and of the best sheep, too. While most
admit that poor sheep pay well for keeping all
know, or should know, that good sheep yield a
profit not found in other branches OF stock rails
ing. word TO the wise is sufficient.

DENIES THE RECORDS.

Ed. JoURNAL:-I remember that in the study
Of Geelogy, these lines occurred
"Some bore and drill and thence bring up a
record which they say proves that he who made
the world and revea led its date TO Moses was
mistokeniu its age"
Now it is my opinion that the Lord never
makes mistakes in dates, or events, or persons,
and lie knows. But the person who attempted
to reveal my age to you was mistaken. Ny
grand father was n deacon of the old Con-
necticmt stripe and 81 was nv father after him; (;
aud of course would tell the truth, (fur they
were not - tOres.")
II any one will take the trouble to look into
INV Bible, they will lind il written there in my
fathers own hand writing, that | was born
May IA. 1914. Now if mY father says "it is
so, then it is So if il ain't So"
