THE FREE PRESS,
BURLINGTON, VT.

The Free Press believes in progress and makes
it's practice accord with its belief Its efforts to-
ward perfection have been constant and its growth
in size and value, circulation and public appreca-
ton in the past few years have no precedent in
Vermont journalism. 1t stands, as its cOntempor-
aries in three states acknowledge, clearly in the
forefront of Vermont newspapers.
The Free Press believes in home institutions. 1t
believes that Vermonters have great deal to do in
fostering worthy home enterprises before their
state can become the progressive commonwealth
they desire it to be. The Free Press therefore ad-
vOcates the thorough and unwavering support of
home institutions and the of money in home
enterprises. 1t believes there is ample room for
the exercise of brains, energy and enterprise in
Vermont, and acts fully up to its belief
Believing this, the Free Press is first of all
home paper. Its own city, county, and state are
first in its thoughts and news-while the news of
the entire world is given in ample detail as nee
essary. The Free Press does not practice sensa-
tionasm in any degree, either in news or politics
1t is steadfasty republican in politics and does not
believe it is necessary to change opinion with
every issue to be a live newspaper
The Free Press has begun a new, highly attrac-
tive and unusual feature in country journalism 1t
has, at considerable expense, secured a series OF
original Stories of the War. These articles
copyrighted and will appear in no other newspaper
in Vermont. They will prove highly attractive to
all veterans and sons of veterans well other
readers. 1t has also recently begun department
fame, which have already become very popular.
Those and other special departments of value will
make the Free Press the coming year more desir-
able than ever before.
The Free Press is pretty well known in Vermont.
If You do not know it by its Daily or its Weekly
Vslts you ought TO test It's quahty Dy trial II Is
paper for the home, the counting room and the
farm and it is with especial reference to the needs
of its own constituency in Vermont.
The recent enlargement of the Daily places 1T
ahead of all competition and gives it's readers an
amount of desirable and valuable reading such as

DON'T NEGLECT THE ORCHARD.

For this section it is probable that
some work can be done benefcially
this month. Young trees may be
transplanted now, and if the work Is
we'll done they will begin to grow
next spring as early and as well as il
they had never been moved. Scions
should be selected now for next
springs grating If they are needed.
Take this years wood but cut off the
three or four buds Of latest growtI,
anu reject them rs being too tend r.
Let each scion have from three ID
SIX perfect buds and pack them away
IN place where they neither dry up
nor mold. Some claim to find thew
keep in better condition by thrusting
the butt end into a potato or turnip,
Others pack them in swamp moss.
Much depends upon the character of
the place where they are stored. A
good way to keep them is to bury
them in sand in a cold cellar or to
bury them two feet under ground in
a dry place, marking the place where
they are buried with staEe> SO aa,at
they can be taken out in May when
wanted for grating. All bundles Of
scions should be carefully labelled.
Never trust the memory on such
things. Young trees which were set
a year ago or less should be staked
and tied up to prevent them getting
cant IN the direction of the prevail
ing wind. An orchard is much in
Jured in looks when all the trees
seem to lean one way, and it may be
easily avoided Drive stout stake
on the windward side and make the
tree fast to it with a strong cord
Draw 1t taut enough to make it lea5
toward the wind if possible. 1t will
be we'll TO wind a piece Of stout clotl
between the cord and the back Of the
tree to prevent the latter from being
cut or chaled.

A9ritultural,
FARM IMPROVEMENTS.

For the last few years all business
has been very much depressed and
values have fallen, especially farm
lands, so much so their value is but
nominal, and to-day farm property is
at its lowest figures. Reaction has
taken place in city and town proper
ty, and their values are rapidly in
creasing, and why is it so? Because
the owners of such property are wide
awake and alive to their interest and
boom it up, as the commercial and f.
nancial barometers indicate. This
rise in values in cities and towns, if
permanent, in time, will have its eff
fect on country property, for pros
perity, like depressions, has its infu-
ence on all surrounding interests !;
and as prosperity brings money into
active circulation, the amount Of
money raises the value of all kinds
Of property throughout the country.
As such, it behooves the farmers to
begin to put their long-neglected
farms in order and dress them up.
for appearances adds much to values.
and has much weight in influencing
purchasers. All buildings on the
farms should undergo repairs and
renovation, and where buildings and
sheds have been neglected for stock,
they should be built. In short, the
outfit should be complete, and paint
and whitewash used to make every
thing look neat and nice. And SO it
should be without fencing. Have as
good fencing and gates as one can al
ford, for all such adds to the value Of
the farm. There is a time to do all
this kind OF work and improvements
when it will not interfere with field
work, and it will be time well en-
ployed aud in the end prove most
profitable.
Then comes field improvements
and proper culture. AS one rides
along the roads and sees the fields
quilted and washed, the impression
made is, 'here is a farm going to
ruin and waste; there can DO no
profitable farming done on such a
farm )" and where brier and bushes
have taken the fields the same i'm
pressions are also made, and the con-
illusions are perfectly correct for
where gullies, briers and bushes pre-
vail no profit cali arise from such a
state Of things, and even should there
be sufficiency of other land to cul-
tlyate, to admit of this waste of land
what an ugly appearance it gives to
the farm, such yawning gullies and
unsightly roughs. Now, what should
be done? First, terrace all the hill
lands and slopes so as to stop wash
ing and outlying, and if there are
fiat lands that hold water ditch them
off, and when that is done, the pillow
and harrow must do the res and d.
versiiied farming follow; and let
grain, grass and stock be the basis
on which the farm must be built up.

Her father, when first requested to al

were serious in their intention of taking

came time for the departure he did not

as plaything and curiosity than as

their own, the little African girl was
treated rs though of the same kith and

New Discovery in Glass.

Berlin papers copy from the Gcrnlanta
the account OF an important discovery
in glass manufacture made by Fried
rich Siemens of Dresden. He has sue
ceeded in casting glass in the same way
as molten metal is cast, and obtaining
an article corresponding to cast metal.
This cast glass is hard, not dearer in
production than cast iron, and has the
advantage of transparency. SO that all
flaws can be detected before it is ap-
piled to practical Use. 1t will be much
less exposed to injury from atmospheric
influence than iron. The process of
production is not difficult, the chief fea-
ture being rapid cooling. The hardness
and resisting power of this cast glass
are SO great that experiments are just
now being carried out at the Siemens
glass foundry at Dresden with the pur-
pose of ascertaining whether the ma
terial could be employed for rails on
railwaYs,-LQndon Times. ~

The Death of Love.

And is he dead at last2 He fingered long,
Despite the fever-fIs of doubt and pain;
1t seemed that faith had wov'n q web so
strong
'Twouid keep him till his pulse beat true
again;
Center of SO much youth and hope and trust,
How could he crumbe iuto common dust?
Cold blew the ICY winds of circumstance;
Prudence and penury stood side by side,
Barb1ng the arrow shot by crafty chance,
Snalching the balsam from the wounds of
pride;
SANDER spiced well the cup false friendship
gave,
And SO Love died. Where shall we make his
grave?
Scatter no roses on the bare black earth
Plant no white lilies; no blue violet bloom.
Weak In his death rs feeble in his birth,
Why should life strive to sancIify his tombP
Even gentle memory is by truth forbid
To honor aught that died as light Love did
Let the rank grasses flourish fearlessly.
With no fond f1OistL ps brushing them
away;
While the young life he troubled, strong and
free,
Turns to the promise of the worlds new
day,
Leaving the darkening skies to close above
The unhallowed burrial-piacs of shallow
Love.

Cure for Most Dangerous Wounds.

An intelligent and trustworthy COR
respondent has sent lis the following:
The smoke OF wooden rags is Il cure for
the most dangerous wounds. A lady
Of my acquaintance ran a machine
needle through her finger. She could
not be released till the machine was
taken to pieces. The needle had broken
into her finger in three pieces, one of
which was bent almost double. After
repeated trials the piece were extracted
by pincers, but they were very strongly
embedded. The pain reached 10 the
shoulder, and there was every danger
of lockj Jaw. The woolen rags We're put
over the Goals, and she held her finger
over the smoke, and in very short
time all the pain was gone and it never
returned, though il was some little time
before the finger healed. This is but
one of many instances of such cure,
some of them taking place after several
DAYS from the time of the wound. Let
wooden rags be kept sacredly aud al
WAYS at hand for wounds. The smoke
and stencil will fill the house, perhaps,
but that is a triile when the alternative
is lOckiaw, or even Il long, painful

was the wound made by an enraged
cat, which tore the flesh from the wrist
to the elbow. and bit through the tieShy

\ MiIIionaire's Hobby,

Senator Stanford's $4,000 stable is
rapidly approaching completion, and the
contractors expect to have it ready for
the senator's horses and carriages early
next month. The stable is a model one.
For months past the senator's represen-
tative here has been overrun by cranks
and inventors with all sorts of new ideas
for the comfort or discomfort of the
horses. 1t has been the hardest thing
TO convince these people that Senator
Stanford is not building a dime museums
for the exhibition of freaks or crank in
ventions. Men who have an idea that
horses would be better if they slept in
beds have come to Senator Stanford to
ask him to put folding beds in his
horses stalls. One man had an idea
that the senator wanted to buy his pa
tent fly-driving machine aud erect it
over each horse TO keep the flies off
him. Another crank wrote a letter stat
ing that it would be good idea to paper
the ceiling with tly-paper, and then the
horses would not be bothered. But such
ideas were not listened to. There are
inventions and improvements in the
stable which are great innovations. The
edifice is an imposing one on l. street
The walls are twenty-five inches thick,
being built with large air-chamber in
the centre SO rs to prevent the least bit
of moisture or dampness from penetrat-
ing the walls and giving the horses cold.
There will be ten stalls, all fitted up in
hardwood. elaborately carved and en-
bellished. At each trough is running
water, so that the grooms will not have
to carry water about the building and
slop it over the floor. The arrange
ment for letting feed down from the bins
above is new invention, and good
one One of the great objections to hav-
ing carriage-house near the stable
proper is the odor absorbed. To obvi-
ate this. the carriages are run into the
stable and on to a large elevator and
carried upstairs 10 Il sealed room,
where they will be free from odor or dirt.
The stable is decorated in hardwood
and is finished in elegant style Wash
