well-known twenty-millior

LOT the structure is preserved

The towers rising on either

of black beading, and are
crested with ruchings Of

The Dust Bath,

Those knowing the value Of the
dust bath for fowls, summer and win
ter, consider it essential to successful
poultry keeping. And how few of
our poultry keepers give their fowls a
chance to revel in a heap Of loose
earth, sand or ashes during the con-
fnement in winter.
The dust bath is to poultry, natures
cleanser and renovator, and is as nee
essary for cleansing the feathers of
fowls from vermin and effete matter,
as cool, pure bath is to persons of
clearly habits.
Poultry with free range in summer
will be able to help themselves to a
dust bath, if they have to roll in the
the newly made flower or Vegetable
beds. With fowls in confinement the
means and material must be supplied
a dry mass Of fine sand or road dust,
fine loan or coal ashes will do. This
mass of dry material should be under
a shed to protect it from rain in sum-
mer time, and in the sunnyest corner
of the hen house in winter.
If we watch the habits Of all wild
game birds, we can see them in the
open clearings and on the country
roads, at early sunrise, busting them
selves as rapidly as possible; and if
We give og'Ti: domestic fowls a chance,

young as s9>ell as the old, to scratch,

and by the rapid action Of their claws
are enabled to dust thoroughly, and
by shaking, rid themselves of lice

SOMETHING ABOUT BOYs.-An eX-
change says a boy will travel two hun
dred and forty-seven miles in one day
on rabbit hunt, and be timber in the
evening, when, if YOU ask him to 60
across the street and borrow Jones'
two-inch augur, he will be as stiff as a
meat block. OF course he will ! And
he will 90 swimming all day, and stay
in the water three hours at time, and
splash and dive and paddle and puff.
The next morning he will feel that an
unmeasured insult has been offered
him when he is told by his mother to
wash his face carefully, so as not to
leave the score of the ebb and flow so
plain as to be seen under the gills.
And he'll wander around a dry creek
bed all the afternoon piling up peb-
bic fort, but nearly die Off when his
big sister wants him to please pick up
q basket of chips for the parIor stove ;
and he'll spend the biggest part Of the
day trying to corner a stray mule or q
bald back horse for a ride, and feel
that all life's charms have fled when it
comes time to drive the COWS home
and he'll turn a ten acre lot upside
down for ten inches Of angle worms,
and wish for the voiceless tomb when
the garden demands his attention.
But all the same, when you want a
friend who will stand by you and sym
pathize with you, and be true to you
in all kinds of weather, enlist one of
the small boys.

Tha Meaker EanniIN-

Mrs. Meaker, the murderess, was
born in 1889, in Barre, and in 1857
married Mr.. Meaker in Plainfeld.
They seem to have led a wandering
life, having lived in Plainfeld, Barre,
Charlotte, Berlin, Hardwick, Stowe,
and finally in Duxbury. In 1861 AL
mon was born, and later on their
daughter, which, with a son who died,
were their only children. In 1862
Mr.. Meaker enlisted in Company D of
the Sixth Vermont. He served two
years and was discharged by reason of
wounds, for which he has received a
pension, which has recently been in
creased to S24 month. From Hard
wick the family removed to Stowe,
and place was bought in the locality
known as Nebraska. There they had
trouble with the people and the peo-
pie with them, and finally Mrs. Mea-
ker, who seems always to have been
the moving and directing spirit in the
family, threw up the place at saeri-
fee, Mr.. Meaker says, of 81 900, and
the little place in DuXbury was bought
in the spring of 1873, in Almon's
name, who at seventeen had been given
his time for the remainder of his mi
nority. The first payment of $50
on this place was made with money
saved from Mr.. Makers pension.
He has now nearly paid for the place,
besides paying the funeral expenses of
little Alice, buying a lot in the burial
ground for her and another for his
wife, to which her remains will be
transferred. Letters and papers are
received weekly from Almon. The
chaplain, in letter to Mr.. Meaker,
speaks of Mrs. Meaker as appearing
at times not in her right mind, and at
others, directing in regard to her af-
fairs. To the inquiry if Almon had
been addicted to liquor, Mr.. Meaker
said he had never known him to ex-
hibit any signs of drink till the day
after the murder. He seemed then to
be stupid with liquor, and it is under
stood that some whiskey was bought
at the time the preparations were be-
ing made for the murder. This pre-
caution seems to have been taken by
the arch tiend against any dropping
of the boys courage at the critical
moment. Upon the daughter, espec-
tally, the dreadful doom of her mother
has blighting effect. Her health is
delicate, and it has not been thought
judicious for her to visit the prison.

DEATH OF POSTMASTER GENERAL
HOwB. Hon. Timothy o. Howe.
Postmaster-General, died Sunday af
ternoon at the residence of his nephew
Col. James H. Howe, of kenosha,
Wis. He contracted a severe cold q
week ago at Green Bay, returned to
Kenosha and was very i'll until Satur-
day, when he seemed to improve,
The physicians pronounced it pneu-
monia when he was taken worse Sat
urday night. He sank rapidly and
passed away peacefully Sunday. Mr..
Howe was born in Maine in 1916, and
was 67 years old. For many years he
was a United States Senator. 1t is
noted as a curious fact that Postmas-
ter-General Howe and Ex-Postmaster-
Generals Jewell, Maynard and DENIM
son should have died within twelve
month, and it is regarded as interest
ing that no cabinet officer since 1914,
except Secretary of War Rollins and
Postmaster-General Howe, died in
office.

not 2nd to any New England State in
her products, and is peopled by thrift
ty, enterprising race. During the last
twenty-five years farming has taken
great step in advance. Sugaring
has been much improved during the
last ten years, in tapping, and also in
boiling sap. There are two farmers
IN this town who seem to be at the
head OF Improvement in tapping, and
who have covers for their tin tubs,
VIZ: Capt. Kenfeld and Judge Smith.
Last spring | made very general OBJ
servations Of improved sugar making
among many Of our first-class farm
ers, and L found many pans and heat
ers, and convenient means to take
them from arches. | think there will
yet be improvements made on the
eYaporator, to boil faster and with
less wood. One Of the great secrets
OF making nice sugar is gathering and
boiling the sap as soon as possible at-
ter running. There is no stopping
place to improvement and progression.
Old time theories seem to be past,
with the thinking and reasoning por-
ton Of mankind.
And now a few practical ideas to
young farmers. A system Of doing
work through the year, and life, will
save much perplexity. Good calcuIa-
ton, with energy, has much to do
with success in life. Work should be
done in time. a good, thrifty farmer
will never get out of work. His home
should be the best place for his en-
.ioyment. Love to pay your yearly
demands. Some of the leading traits
Of our fallen race are love of money,
prosperity and authority, and yet how
many men there are that lose their right
of control and independence by "tak-
ING in their sails " Of doing business
too early in life: Fast young men Of
ten spread too much sail for their cap
ital, but life is filled with mistakes,
more or less. Since the year 1870,
one Of the leading branches of bust
ness in Northern Vermont is the lum-
Der traffic. Young men, word of
counsel in time. You that own farms,
take care and keep good lumber lots
and sugar groves. Wood and timber
for making and repairing buildings
will always be wanted. There is al
ready great lack of timber in many
localities in orr State. We should
not live for ourselves alone, but for
others, and after generations.

An Old Storm Theory,

A st. JOhnsbury correspondent OF
the Journal, relates an instance which
happened in Vermont in 1887, in
which a big storm was predicted, and
the ''theory on which the prognosti-
cations were based" Judge Buckley
resided in Berlin, just across the river
from Montpelier. One member of the
Judges family was a son named
Frank, who was a half witted fellow,
and queer in many ways. In the
summer of 1887, some friends from
New York State, came to visit the
Judge, and after stop of few days,
started on Saturday on their way
home, intending to stop over Sunday
with friends few miles down the riv-
er. Frank heard their plans talked
over and then said ''You better not
start there's going to be big storm
that will carry all the bridges away.
and you will have to come back"
The sky being cloudless, the gentle
men laughed and drove off. In the
afternoon the storm began, and all
that Frank predicted proved true.
One of the gentlemen's curiosity was
so excited that he returned, after the
storm, to learn from Frank, if posi-
Ele, how he knew there was to be such
storm. After much coaxing Frank
promised if he would come out with
him he would tell.
Going out few rods from the house
so view could be had, Frank, in his
drawing way, said: "You see that
balsam tree down in that swamp
hole?"
The man said he did.
"Well," said Frank, ''when you see
that old yaller COW stand licking her
tail round that balsam tree you NAV
know there is going to be tophet of
4 storm"

In response to the query of an ''Of-
fee Boy who wanted to know how
the word * tariff" as applied to GUS
tom house duties, originated, the
Journal Of Commerce gives an inter
esting answer as follows: " The
word tariff comes from Tarifa, town
in Spain, on the foremost point of the
kingdom. The iowa and fortress took
their name from Tariff ibu Malek, q
Saracen chief, who landed there in
76O and erected a strong fertilization,
from whence he compelled all vessels
passing through the Straits of Gibral-
tar to pay duties to him."
