Scrap Books.

Who of us have not at some time in our
| lives made, or at least commenced,
crap book. And who does not enjoy itP
We may have such pretty ones now too,
an ornament to any table. Those with
the leaves ready gummed are the most
convenient, but do not look near as nicely
when filled.
A short time ago l saw directions for
arranging scrap book. Have been
following the directions in mine, since,
| and am much pleased with the idea.
Perhaps it may be new to some others, so
will describe mine. have a few fine
steel eugravings, and one or two really
good wood cuts.
In front is a portrait OF Longlellow,
while the first two pages of the book is
devoted to his poems.
In different parts of the hook are two
pages each, reserved for Tennyson, Whit
| tier and other favorite authors.
Sentimental temperance and humorous
poems, am also arranging in groups
as well as the miscellaneous.
There are also several pages of prose.
Some prefer to have separate books for the
prose and poetry, and it is nice where one
has both.
A short time ago while speaking with a
LADY of quite advanced age, Gas she was
purchasing scrap book) she remarked,
u very much regret that l did not
commence saving selections for scrap
book, when young girl. But l can at
| least make one now and some one else will
enjoy it after die"
Childrens scrap books we have found to
be very ii teresting We put in nothing
but pcures-with their titles when
possible.
If the children are old enough to cut the
pictures out nicely themselves. so much
the better.
| We were troubled for some time, to get
a book large enough for the engravings of
ma gazines. hut found some old numbers Of
the american Agriculturalia to be just!the
thing.
One has no idea how many pretty
pictures they can collect, until they make
the attempt.
| almost wanted to keep the book in my
own possession when it was finished-i
was so pretty.
Win not some of the friends in thu
household department, send treasured
poems or selections from their own scral
books, to these columns for the benefit @
others. should be very much pleased
indeed TO receive such additions for M
y scrap book, and should prize them highly
E and feel sure that others would be glad c
o them also.
Will not the sisters respond?
? Will not some one who has the poem
! "Shells Of Occan,"-please send it. hav
the engraving and am very anxious
obtain the poem to 60 with it.
In closing wish to copy few lines

$2,181,42. The total amount taken in
during the month is 1928 979,32.
The above was clipped from one of our
Milbank papers, and enclose it to give
the people of Vermont little idea OF
what is being done in Dakota. This is
the report for single month, at a single

The following preamble and resolution
was presented 10 the dairymen assocla
ton, and its suggestions should by no
means be confined to the attendants on
that meeting. If the information which
that suggests, could be gained, which OF
course could be done by united and care
full observation it would pretty much
settle in a general way the comparative
value of ensilage, and give much fuller
information concerning the value of the
corn crop, than we now possess:
Whereas; The matter of corn fodder, in
the form of ensilage, for stock, is of deer
interest, not only to dairymen, but to the
public at large; and more accurate
statement of methods, facts and expe l.
ences in regard to the same would greatly
tend to determine and establish its com
parative value as stock food; therefore
be it
Resolved; That the attention of each
member of this association be directed to
the following points, and that each
member be requested to note, with pre-
cision and care, as far as may be, anc
communicate in writing his experience
and opinions. if any, to this association at
its next annual meeting.
1st. What is the average quantity of
ensilage produced to the acreP
2nd. What the average quantity Of
dry corn fodder furnished by an acre Of
corn? How many bushels of corn in the
carp
Sd. Average quantity of hay per acre
on same quality of land?
4th. Cos, Of producing and securing
one acre of ensilage; one acre OF dry
corn fodder and corn one acre of gras'F
5th What is the value of ton 81
cnsilaee as food for stock compared with
one ton of dry corn fodder?
9th. What is the value of one ton OIL
enslage compared with one ton OF hay
and what the value of one ton OF dry
fodder compared with one ton of hay?
7th. What is the effect of feeding
ensilage on the quantity and quality OF
the milk and butter produced?
9Th. What the effect in growth and
flesh in feeding ensilage to young stock
or store cattleo
9th Is any bad effect observed upon
the teeth; or otherwise, of stock fed with
ensilageP
Resolued further, that A. ii. Sabn, NJ
S., professor of chemistry in the university
of Vermont and state agricultural college
be, and hereby is, respectfully requested
to prepare and read paper before the
association at its next annual meeting, on
the transmutation or chemical change
induced in corn fodder by ensilage, SC

change or process, may add new value OF

AFTERNOON.


Came together at an early hour, and
the subject of LIBERALIZATION" was taken
up by Henry Lane, and treated in very
complete and exhaustive manner.
Advised farmers to properly prepare
their soil, rotate crops so as to give time
for rest and recuperation. In this rotation
clover is good crop to renovate and
enrich the land without any other fertilizer
to any great amount.
Again, increase The stock TO increase
the manure. 1t makes great difference
in what shape the surplus crops are
carried off of the farm. Successful
agriculture in Vermont is stock raising.
The lightning rod sale through the state
in its imposition hardly cqualled the sale
of commercial fertilizers.
| If obliged to buy do it cautiously, first
ending by experiment what is needed for
your own soils. Many questions with an
interesting discussion followed.
Mr.. Davis was called upon to occupy
the remainder of the afternoon, and held
the audience until quarter past four.
EVENING.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of tn,
weather, Ga high wind prevailng), a large
audience convened. Mr.. Lane read hi
fine paper upon the Rotation of crops,
evincing to every consderate mind that i
was the true scientific method, as well a
economic way to restore and keep up tn
| fertility of the Vermont farms.
Mr.. Davis treated upon Indian corn, it
origin, use and cultivation, illustrating b,
