length theresul;s of the recen. competition for
prizes for best Yields OF corn and potatoes DT
farmers boys IN Vermont, and adds: The
competition was suggested and carried out
by the State University and Agricultural
College, whose efforts to raise the standard
of agriculture are cordially appreciated
throughout the commonwealth. similar
competition has been maintiiled in Maine
for the last two years with results in the last
instance somewhat better thln those obtain
cd in Vermont. The value Of agrlc ultural
colleges has been sometimes questioned on
the ground that they taught great ceal Oh
theory and very little practice ; but 1t Is an
excellent combination of theory ard practice
which can raise 492 bushels of potatoes on an
acre cf Vermont land.

Where now IL pOmp and lust
Where IL It's golden treasure:
All ashes. saalS~y dust

Stripped of their pride and lust
Which is the king. the besgar,

To rest beneath Thy smile.

Into that better land.
Where they who wait Thy coming,
In joy and beanty stand.
