DR.. Hendee who was always ready with
his words of encouragement. Let us re-
member him to day rs an INTELLIGENT
farmer and good citizen. One State
paper headed its announcement of this
course of lectures winter studies for
farmers | liked this way of putting it.
Farming IL no longer considered as an in
dustry, buG Is an art. There is some
thing below farming which can be
studied. Under the operations there is n
whole group of sciences which have
as practical an application as in
many of the arts. The great object of our
study Is to get such knowledge OF the
laws of nature as to use them, 10 get
such mastery of the III as to employ them.
Vermont farmers as a class are waking
up to the necessity of having more init
mate knowledge of their business We
have outlived the day Of sneering at book
farming. All the processes are being
studied and they are not without results
of tangible success.
President Buckham then very pleasant
ly introduced Mr. w. Il Sessions, the sec
rotary of the Ma. sachusetts Board of
Agriculture. Mr.. Sessions said that he
appreciated the compliment which had
been paid him, by asking a Massachusetts,
man to address an audience of Vermont
farmers. The subject of Mr. Sessions's
address was Breeding" an abstract OF
which is printed in another column, in
the report of the Dairymen's convention
at Montpelier.
At the close of Mr. Session remarks he
was asked several questions by many
present, especially rs to the comparative
value of the Durham or shorthorn as n
butter animal, with those of smaller size
While not advising farmers to breed from
any particular strain he yet thought, con
sidering all the risks, the Durhams had
been the most profitable for him.
The address and subsequent talk by Mr..
Sessions were highly appreciated by the
farmers and will prove valuable to them
in their practical work.

It comes up he goes over IL with smooth

till the corn is from four to six inches
nigh, then goes through it with a cult
vator as long as possible without breaking
down the crop.
He advocates cutting into two pits, cut

about two feet of straw on the top, then
puts on dry muck to weight IL, and when
IL is taken off, to feed the silage, the muck
is used for bedding his cattle. He thinks

With ensilage put IN slowly and not

extensive statistics of the number of

Lawrence Allen is the only survivor, and
he had a remarkable escape. The weather
was so thick that it was impossible to see a
hundred yards, and the vessel was not dis
covered till nearly midnight. 1t was
near daylight when the survivor
was seen TO crawl out from under
her hull He was very weak from
exposure and could give but little informa-
ton. He said the vessel came in by Peaked
Hill Bars on Sunday morning and steered
northwest for Boston, against the wishes of
the crew, who proposed to put into Province

could tell they struck between 5 and o'clock

More and more, in the quicker action Of
mind upon mind, the magazine and the news
paper are coming to absorb the utterances of
those who have sG=a'hi.g to say. Nobody
can wait 70 put Ills thought into book be-
fore he speaks it 10 the world and the result
Is that many books in the first instance are
given to the public under the spur Of imper-
sonal journalism or through the medium Of
the great reviews. The hardship Of this
tendency is felt in the production Of the best
literature, Nobody can today follow the
Horatian maxim and keep his manuscript
long enough for its leaves to grow yellow in
his drawer. Every one must strike while the
iron is hot, aud the use Of the file early and
late, which gave the Greek literature its ex-
qusite finish, is sadly lacking in the rough
and ready literature of the day
The tendency of all writing in our own
time is to the haste and waste that are the
curse of good style Even so excellent a
writer as Mr.. Arnold, whose earlier work was
us fine as that OF "Amiel's journal, " in the
hurry of his efforts to catch the next number
of the magazine, neglected to put the finish
ing touches TO his essays, and was caught in
the same tolls that have married the work of
most of his contemporaries And vet the
same rules hold good today that held with
Thucydides ard Horace, the rules that dis
tinguish good work from poor, good thought
if~n thought imperfectly set in words. The
DANCE of modern letters is that literature
shall be IKE food that is half cooked.-New

Writing of the presidents of the United
States. the New York correspondent of
the Troy Times says of their wealth:
Washington married. a rich widow and
left AZ estate worth $500, 900, but John
Adams wss not worth one~sixth of that
sum. Jefferson died so poor that if cons
gress had not given him 1913 600 for his
library, he would have been bankrupt.
Madison was economical and left but a
small estate. Monroe died poor. john
Quincy Adams left $4,000 the result of
prudence. Jackson left a large landed
estate. Van Buren, died worth $500, .,
600 1t is said that during bis
entire administration be never drew
any portion of his salary, but on leaving
took the whole 800, 600 in lump. Polk
left $500 Fillmore was always an
economical man, and added to his wealth
by his last marriage. Pierce saved $50,
coo Buchanan left 100000. Lincoln
$50 600 and Johnson $50 600 Grant
notwithstanding the losses to which be
was subject, had q handsome support in
the fund provided for him BIZ his friends
aud the sales of his book enrich the fam
lily. Hayes is said to be in handsome
financial condition and the Garfields en-
JOY liberal pension and the income from
large fund contributed by the public
Cleveland will no doubt save $50 O0(

MEN WHO MAN THE LIFE BOAT.
Their Brilliant Record for the Past Year
Briefly Told.


rheir Brilliant Record for the Past Year
Briefly Told.
WASHINGTON CRY, Nov g,-The life saw
ing service of the United States according
to the report of Superintendent kimball.
now includes 2g2 stations, of which forty four
are on the lakes The work done reflects both
credit and honor on the brave fellows who
risk their lives in this arduous employment
Some of the figures in the report are abund-
ant proof of the assertion. For instance ::
There were al disasters to vessels during the
year, involving the safety of s, 65S souls, and
of these only twelve were lost The estim-
ated value of these vessels and their cargoes
was So, So, 2S5, and 1916, 40a of this was
saved. Disasters to smaller crafts numbered
l33, imrerilling 23i persons, only five Of
whom were lost, and besides this thirty
seven persons who had fallen from piers,
etc, were fished out of the water alive by
these same life savers
Then, in addition to this great service to
shipping and humanity. ~. vessels were
warned off or piloted out of danger. The
number of lives lost in proportion to the
number or the vessels involved was one in
:293'22; the best previous record was one in 2ss.
All these figures refer TO work done in the
limits of the station operations during the
past year, and at q cost of SOS co.., or s
of cost for eight of salvage in property
alone, to say nothing OF the infinitely more
valuable work in saving life
Superintendent Kimball advocates an in
crease of the compensation of the surfmen
and the passage of the bill to pension thu
men who are engaged in the work wheI
they become disabled in the service, ant
their widows and minor children in case o
| loss of life
