wRAT TWO FARMERS DID.

The men who think that the soil OF
Vermont is sterile and will not repay
cultivation, do not know. In an address
delivered at the Vermont Board of Agri.
culture meeting at Richford, December
90, by Hon. William Chaplin of Middle
sex, member of the board, has the fol-
lowing instructive and interesting pas
sage
Il wish to cite one or two instances of
good farming nearer home. Up on the
hills, one and one half miles west of the
State house at Montpelier, there was an
old pasture of some 80 or 40 acres. 1t
was much like other pastures covered
with stones, stumps, some ledge and
bearing fair crop of the usual pasture
grasses, some brakes and weeds. About
len years ago the owner. Col. Elisha
Payne Jewett, began to improve this
land by digging out the stones and
stumps. blowing, cultivating, manuring
literally and reseeding. He has now
got over about one half of il. and so
well and thoroughly had he done it that
the past season he cut from 30 to 40 tons
of choice hay at two cuttings, several
bushels of oats and had quite field of
potatOes-all on less 20 acres. Adioin-
ing this is the farm of Hon. Homer Wal
lace Heaton. This few years ago was
one of those run down, neglected, desert
ed farms, with tumble down buildings
looking like the abominaton of desola-
ton and standing where it ought not.
Now all is changed-good, tidy build
ings. well drained and cultivated fields
and everything apparently pleasant and
prosperous. Possibly Squire Heaton
does not farm it qui as well as Colonel
Jewettt. but then he is not as old, being
only rs, while Jewett is in his S7th year
am heartily glad these boys of the old
school have been able to set so bright an
example to the boys of this generation.
II you call this fancy farming, can
only say1 wish there was more of It,

DIsCoMFORTs OF THE WEST

When the Vermonter in his cosy home
reads of the great suffering in tine new
states of the West from privations and
cold, he must invariably settle down to
contentment by his own fireside, and re
joice that he lives in location of plenty.
The pioneers of the West have under
gone hardships such as were never ex-
perienced in Vermont by our ancestors,
Vermont was a wooded State and the
forests were a wind-break to the print
tive people in their Openings and at no
time were they destitute Of fuel. The
log houses before others were construct,
ed, were substantial and comfortable,
and with immense 'tire-plaCes' and big
logs in abundance there was not the
least suffering. The second tier of
framed dwellings were thoroughly built
in country th'ckly studded with trees,
and with saw mills located on every
water fall, AS the State has grown older
the buildings have been made more
tasty in appearance and eommodious,
but no more comfortable. The contrast
furnished by the early settlements on
the plains and prairies Of the West are
as radical as they can well be. With no
hiho, Ndilcyo VI Bio"ihh tilhOSA NhO
winds sweep the vast expanse with ter
rible force and without hindrance. The
dwellings at first are but temporary
structures built at great expense of ma
terials brought from long distance. And
they have not been constructed with re-
gard to unusual weather. The recent
blizzards in the western portions of
Kansas and Nebraska have been terrible
in their results. Very many people
were starving when the cold weather
came, and from lack of food and fuel
have persisted The struggles of the I'M
fortunate people rs related in our dis
patches call for the fullest sympathy
and relief 1t seems cad that in this
land of wealth and abundance any
should be permitted to suffer and die
from cold or hunger, and especially
among the pioneers of the West, who
are industrious and laboring to extend
our domain in that direction. list.

sENyToR FRYE SCORES A GOOD
POINT

Senator Frye has scored a good point
against the Administration by obtaining
the correspondence relating to the bond
ing OF the Pacific Coast Steamship Com.
paDy in the interests of the Canadian
Pacific Railway. The privilege of ship
ping their catch in bond from provincial
ports to the United States is what Cana
da denies to our fishermen, and yet the
dominion officials and the British Gov
eminent have no difficulty in obtaining
from a Democratic secretary of the
treasury the concession they seek, OF
carrying American goods on their poll
teal railroad from one American point
to another. 1t was a shrewd scheme,
this of the Canadian Pacific Railway, by
which Great Britain manages to have
her military highway, which was con
structed to threaten the United States
and curb our growing influence in the
Pacific, maintained at American expense
and PRESIDENT Cleveland and his advisers
can hardly be proud Of their connection
with the affair." Boston Journal.

INTANGIBLE.

Patiently over the road we fare,
Intent on the end we'd win;
there's hint OF frost in the misty air.
And the night is closing in;
But vague and far from the muf1ed past
Comes tender haunting tone,
And we grasp the skirts OF memory las
From the land OF our morning plown.
IT'S a faint sweet sound OF q tinkling bell
Over the pastures borne;
It's the lambs low bleat on the lonesome fell;
IT'S a rustic amid the corn:
The scud and rush OF the squlrrels tread
Parting the withered leaves,
Or the tWitter OF swallows overhead
In the dusk OF the cottage caves.
And once again we are boys and girls
In a round OF school and play
with mothers hand on our tangled curis.
When we kneel ut her lap to pray.
Nothing we reclS of the ring of gold,
Nor the fall of the dice on Change,
FOR the beautiful story is all untold,
And the world yet new and strange.
And 10! instead OF the masks We wear
In the throngs we meet to-day,
Instead OF the shoulders bowed TO pear,
And the eyes no longer gay,
Dur cheeks are quick with the sudden fiush,-
We are eager for work and strife,
And never q sorrow has come TO hush
Our jubilant pulse OF life.
We sometimes catch in the crowded street
A dear pet name we knew,
Ere the dance had gone from the childish 1eeh
Or we'd gathered sprig OF rue;
IT'S somebody else who claims it now,
But the spell of the old-ume tone
Brings unawares unto lip aud brow
The light Of another zone.
Earring apace to the end-'tis true,
Yet ever behind us lies
The shimmering pearl and the fathouless blue
or the lucent morning skies.
And the wealth we prize as first and best
Is q wealth no scales can weigh,
OR fiS nnt in he Eaat n
And not on the earth to-day.

Poetic Description OF Rather Unro-
mantle Oriental Landscape.

A Poetic Description OF q Rather Unro-
mantle Oriental Landscape.
There are no homes nestled down in
eopses of woods or mansions sur
rounded by lordly parks. The music
of no distant church bell reaches and
lulls me, nor does the carol of the
mountain herdsman, the chants des
caches, come in wavY dehciousness
from any distant lofty pas lurage. But
in place of these one looks upon mount
aims cutting the sky with lofty cones,
green to the very summit, and clothed
with a wealth of forests far up the
sloping sides-ranges of hills from one
to five thousand feet high, not stretch
ing in fatiguing samen ess, but notched,
broken, bent in short, graceful curves,
then lifting into sharp points. never
the same in any direction; and never
hurting the eye by rocky GOODNESS or
sandy or brown barrenness. But few
peaks exist in the land so lofty as to
reach beyond the line of vegetation.
When the tree line is passed there
comes n grassy verdure SO luxuriant
that the tallest heights seem clothed
in emerald velvet One looks far up
narrow valleys, which elsewhere would
be wild gorges, and sees them terraced
far into their depths and variegated
with various crops in all stages of ma
turity from those but lately planted
and freshly green to others golden and
ready for the sickle. Every mountain
slope. every mountain gorge. is thus
terraced as far up as streams offer up
portunity for the rrigation.-C Carter
Harrison, III Chicago Mail.
