been said of the new Fuchsia "Phe-

strength and robustness of growth, it
is one of the best of all the double

Farm Outlook Better than 80 Years
Ago.
Vermont Cor. ~ E. Farmer

Vermont Cor. ". E. Farmer.
There never was better time to
"farm it" in Vermont than the present
Everything, excepting wool, brings a
good price, and wool cannot always re-
main where it is. The extremely low
price of the farms makes it good
time to buy. Farms that twenty years
ago brought ten thousand dollars now
go hard for four; and those that
brought five and six will hardly bring
two now. Fifty and sixty years ago
farmers ran in debt for their farms and
paid for them they certainly can do
it now. The one drawback is the
price of labor, which has nearly doubl-
ed, yet it is in part offset by the labor
saving machines. The mower, horse
rake, tedder reaper, sowing and plant
ing machines, we're unknown fifty
years ago. What would the farmers
now think if they had got to do their
work by main strength as fifty years
ago, and sell their produce as it was
sold then-butter from 10 to IL cts. a
pound, cheese 6 cts. per pound, eggs 8
to IL cts. per dozen7 The only mar
ket they had for their potatoes was at
the starch factories where they brought
from 10 to II cts. per busheI. Poultry
now brings more than double. Wood
brought then from 81 to $50 per
cord now from So to So, and all kinds
of timber and lumber in the same pro-
portion. Besides, what the farmer has
to sell now brings the cash fifty years
ago it was mostly store pay: and what
they had to buy then cost double what
it does now. Yet with all these great
advantages in favor of the farmers at
the present time, in Vermont farming
is not held in as high esteem as it
should be. This can be seen in the
high price of labor, the low price of
farms, and the fact that many of the
back farms that once supported large
families are now abandoned.

The Tax on Every Man.

Transcript in the Boston Herald.

William A. Honey formerly Editor of the Boston
Transcript, IN the Boston Herald
Remembering that IL ''prOtected" AZ
tcle is in reality Il taxed article, be-
cause, even though made in this cOun
try and paying no duty, its price is, in
a measure, fixed by that ut which the
same article can be imported, duty
paid, Causeur got to thinking how the
tariff affected him. OfcOurse, not being
an ''infant industry" he is not protect
ed. Any number of other "Causeurs''
can come to this country without let OF
hindrance, and compete with him on
equal terms. And they do come. An
English journalist said to Causeur the
other day: 81 make my money I'D

year. | spend it in Europe during the
remaining six months. My rule is to
sell in the dearest market and buy in
the cheapest" But to go to the tariff.
Causeur had eaten his taxed dinner off
taxed plate, sitting on taxed chair
on a taxed carpet at IL taxed table, with
"A taxed knife and fork. Before him
was il taxed table cloth, and on his lap
Il taxed napkin. His drink was water
from Il taxed pitcher in a taxed glass,
and later, untaXed tea in IA taxed cup,
with taxed sugar. Then he went to
his taxed desk, lighted taxed tobacco
in taxed pipe, read taxed paper and
glanced through the pages of new
taxed book, and is now writing these
lines on taxed paper i'll taxed ink with
il taxed pen, which he has to mend
now and again with a taxed knife, all
by the light of gas made from taxed
coal, brought through taxed pipes to IA
taxed burner, having a taxed chimney
and 1; taxed shade. And when he re-
tires-"the (taxed) iron tongue OF
midnight has tolled I2"-it will be to
sleep between taxed sheets in taxed
bed, under taxed blankets, his head
resting on a taxed pillow. Is it any
wonder that Uncle Sam has big bal

Cotton Seed Meal.

We desire to call your attention to the fact that
Cotton Seed Meal is selling much below it's intrn-
sic value as feed, and much below the selling price
of former years.
1t is considered by experienced feeders by far
the cheapest cattle food in the market considering
it's MILK, BUTTER and FLESH PRODUCING
and M MURAL VALUE.
Cotton Seed Oil Meal has been used many yea rs
and the fact fully established that it largely in
creases the flow of milk, makes richer milk, and
produces more and better butter.
The richness of the manure dropped by cattle
and sheep fed ON Cotton Seed Meal so far exeels
manure from other kinds of food as to return TO
the farmer large share of his outlay for the meal
An approved method of feeding Cotton Seed
Meal is two quarts Cotton Seed Meal two quarts
corn meal and four quarts of bran per day. This
ration should be well Mixed and this quantity is
for cattle weighing about 1000 pounds
Young lighter weight animals should not be fed
so much. Feed sheep about Onehalf pint daily

In MemOriam Parker.

Dial: Miss Matte j. Parker died at
the home of her parents in this city,
June q, 1888, of quick consumption,
in the 18th year of her age. Funeral ex-
ercises were conducted by Rev. Mr..
Pulford, of Lancaster, the cortege being
largely composed of her schoomates,
whose grief at her sudden demise was
apparent ia every countenance. Until
January of this year the subject of this
sketch had enjoyed the best of health;
then she was attacked with malarial
fever, induced by over-study, termin-
ating in the disease which caused her
decease. Swiftly, relentlessly, defying
and defeating all the skill and learning
and resistant force of physicians both
at home and abroad; yielding to no
pleas or prayers of human sympathy,
nor to the supreme love of father,
mother or sister, came the angel of
death, who with the touch of his icy
hand froze the current of her physical
life. After a brief struggle she sue
cumbed, and from earth and home and
friends, from this bright life. she has
gone to be theirs in the dear visable
presence no more. The book of her
life is written. Only the memory of
its stainless record remains. With soft
music and fragrant howers-symbolic
of her own purity-she was lain to
rest. From the tolls and struggles of
earth she has vanished ere the bright
est illusion of youth had time to fade.
Not as a dropping pilgrim, tear-stained
and troubled, lettering to stormy sea,
has she passed, but in the glory of life,
with its hopes undispelled. In the cool
calm morning glow of life she reached
the brink of the great sea, and the MUIR
muring waters, on their white crests,
have borne her to that ''beaueiful
shore"

port. | was not surprised much when
| got to the close of the school girl or
school boy attack upon you, or your
reporter. l thought it only youthful
effusion, and concluded that they, in
common with other folks, found it hard
to have their idols shattered, or learn
that not all of the Lancaster schools that
glittered was cold. thought the light
of truth had shown to older heads Whist
they could not, because they would not,

speaker mentioned the Shutdown school
was one proof of it to me. Any one of
sense, age and experince would have
been more reasonable and fair, for you
said nothing about any schools in the
vicinity but graded ones, by any decent
Interpretation whatever. The girls,
however, attacked, so far as can see,
no one but speaker or speakers at the
meeting. They assume that your re-
port was correct. But when 1 read the
editorial remarks of the Teller upon the
communication in its columns, | was
astonished te see that the editor, of said
paper was gentlemanly enough to
virtually call your Cady) reporter a
liar, while at the same time he had to
go beyond the bounds of truth TO do il.

my eyes when | read his characteriz-
alton of the motions that actuated your
reporter to write that meeting up as she
did. First he called it ''school girl

and jealousy" and afterwards said it

had against one of the professors. NAM

young folks to the Teller any one could
overlook and smile at. They did not
know any better. They were impul-
siye. But what to think of the decep-
