Major A B. Valentine, Command
er of the "Grand Army" OF Yer
mont, has issued a proclamation to
the posts, relative to the observance
of Decoration Day. He says: "Let
due preparation be made by all posts
in this department, to the end that
the occasion may be observed with
fitting ceremony, and that not a
grave be left unmarked by token of
love for the comrade, of pride that
he was one of us, and of gratitude
for a country preserved" This mat
ter should not be the work of the
posts alone, but in every locality
where the remains of those who died
in their country's cause lie buried,
their comrades and their friends
should mark their graves by suitable
floral emblems. This custom of pay
ing respect to the dead initiated by the
Grand Army, might well be followed
by all whose friends lie buried in the
neighboring cemeteries.
Having opportunity recently to ex-
anime the working of the Hubbell
pillow, we took some pains to ascertain
whether the flattering claims made
for it, were true or not. 1t has
been a thing long sought and upon
which much ingenuity and capital have
been spent to find ssside hill'' pillow
that would turn the earth and sod
equally well ON level or side hill land.
This pillow establishes that fact, as
any one can see in one minute who
examines the working. Another hard
thing to overcome in plows has been
the adjustment of the cutter so as to
cut the sod in the right line as the
mouldboard was turned over. Mr..
Hubbell has effectually solved this
problem. And still another thing
has been much needed, and that an
easy adjustment of the clevis to fav-
or one OK or horse, and to cause the
pillow to run on or off Gland" In this
pillow this can be done in second by
the holder, while the pillow is in motion.
The pillow holds very easy and taken
altogether is a thing every farmer
ought to examine. The pillow is
made at the Murkland shop.
