The love Of Vermonters for trees
and groves should show itself along
every thoroughfare and wayside up
on the village green and city park ,
around the school house and by the
academy; the grounds Of the home
should be tastefully adorned with the
maple, the oak and the elm, and
thereby made scenes Of loyelier mem.
cries the church, toot should be
reached through their pleasant and
inspiri shades and the "God's
Acre." where we shall all soon sleep
with our beloved ones, should not re-
main neglected of these adornments
of nature that form the finest drapery
that hallows the earth.
This sentiment is equally strong in
the minds of youth and age, with
women as we'll as men. 1t is economic
in its practical results, in enhancing
the value of the farm, the village and
the town in augmenting the beauty
and comfort of homes and in setting
them amid such scenes of taste and
loveliness as. will enchain the memo
ries of our children to them to their
latest day.
To aid, therefore, in the systematic
encouragement of tree planting
throughout our various communities !;
to awaken and develop among our
people, and especially in our youth,
taste for the study of nature, and "a
purpose to take delight and profit in
an important branch of agriculture !;
to render our homes more homelike
and attractive by the annual setting
of thousands of shade trees in every
town and to the end that the happi-
ness and comfort of our people in
years to come be measurably increas-
ed, ] do hereby designate and recon.
mend that
FRIDAY, THE FIRST DAY OF MAY, 1885,
be observed as Arbor Day, and res
pectfully ask that it be made a gener-
al holiday.
And l recommend that the people
of the State do, on that day, plant
trees along the streets, by the road
sides, in parks and commons, around
the public buildings, by their homes
and in the waste places.
Municipal and religious corpora
tons, societies for village and town
Improvement, school officers and
teachers and all who can plant a tree
can contribute aid in carrying out the
purpose of the day which promises
so important results in the near future.
Organizations and plans for the sys-
tcmatic observance of the day should
be made beforehand by societies. as
sociations and schools, and the study
Of the various trees and the details
essential to their safe transplanting
should initiate the work, TO make the
day one Of ardent and inspiring inter
est and value.

seal, at Hartford, this sixth day of

Our conscience troubles us. The
custom of publishing the size of eggs
we fear leads to bad results-not the
least of which is the increase in the
cost of eggs. Mr.. E. NJ. d. Ball sends
us an egg which measures Like 1-2
inches. Now it is clear to us that the
hen that dropped That egg is laid up
for the season, hence a shortening of
the supply and an increase in the
price of eggs. We submit that no
respectable hen or body of hens can
long stand the strain produced by such
eggs.
