OF the many fine Vermont farms in the
Connecticut valley, those in Newbery, Or
ange county, are among the best The fla
nous Ok Bow meadows here attracted set
tiers from Massachusetts as early as 1850
when most of Vermont was an unexplored
wilderness
One of the famous farms in this vicinity
is the OK Bow farm, owned and conducted
10y Messrs Daniel = and Frank f. Kimbal
The farm, as "A whole. embraces several
hundred acres. though $50 acres are in
meadow the balance being in wood and
pasture. The annual crops average 300
tons hay. twenty acres of field corn, fifteen
acres of ensllage corn and twenty acres of
oats. Last fall the entire corn crop was
placed in their silos by reason of early frost.
So satisfactory has been the result that it is
proposed to pursue the same course next
season
The mammoth barn is in the form of an
/, measures 36Ox42 feet, and is located So
that the driveway is in the roof the entire
length The silo is of wood, and construct
ed m part of the barn formerly occupied in
storing hay
Dairying is the main business of the farm.
and $50 COWS are fed ON the place, 100 OF

milk is carried to the Haverhill, y. II
creamery. During the month of December
the butter Melted about thirty cents per
pound. The sour milk is fed to l40 hogs
The COWS are mostly grade Durhams,
bought in the northern and western part OF
the state. This particular grade Of COWS,
Mr. kmhall thinks, is better adapted for

CIDER UNDER THE LAW.
An Important Decision la the Windsor
County Court.


From The Woodstock Standard
Inasmuch as the status of sweet cider UNI
der the statute has been much discussed,
the opinion of the supreme court in the case
of the State 4. Nancy Spaulding, rendered
by Judge Veazey on last Saturday morning,
is of Importance. In that case respondent
was tried on two counts, the first for sell
ing Intoxicating liquor and the second for
selling cider She was acquitted under the
first count and convicted under the second.
Various questions were raised in the case
and among them whether the statute in
fact prohibits the sale of sweet cider.
Judge Veazey held that the prohibition of
the statute applies to cider, fermented or
otherwise, the same as to intoxicating liz
uors, if the sale is made in place of public
resort. Section $500 of the Revised Laws
says mo person shall sell or furnish cider
or fermented liquor at or in victualing
house, tavern, grocery, shop, cellar, or 9th
er place of public resort, and section 1902
fixes the penalty if person shall furnish
OF give away Intoxicating liquor or cider in
violation of law The court think there
can be no question as to the intent and
meaning of these clauses, The respondent
excepted also to the use of the word "ci-
der in the second count instead of the
words Intoxicating liquor, which are used
in the form prescribed by the statute, but
the court held that the prosecuting officer
was justified in the use of terms to meet
in the statute, Exception was also taken
TO the charge as to what constitutes "a
place Of public resort, - the sales of cider
having been in respondents dwelling house
Judge Powers who tried the case at the
last term Of county court charged the Jury
that if respondent made business of sell
ing cider at her house by the glass, and it
was known that she was so selling and peo-
pie went there to obtain it and did purchase
and drink ON the premises, it made her
house place of public resort in the mean
ing of the statute Judge Nealey held that
though the charge could NOT be- accepted as
a general definition, it was correct here for
the reason that it was in accordance with
the facts of the case as presented by the ey
idence
Still another point was raised ia this case
1t was proved after trial that this was re-
spondent's second offense aud the ounty
court fixed the sentence accordingly. Judge
Veazey held that this was error, and that
the statute as amended in recent years re
quires proof of first conviction before
trial, Accordingly the sentence was chang
ed to five first offences. 1t is easy to see
that this will not help violators of the law,
for it leaves the jury to presume guilt from
the start.

THE VERMONT pHdlNIX DRArLEDORO FRIDAY MARCUS, 1880

we come from Sunday-school The table is
laid ~ it'll snowy cloth aud the best china al
ways. aud generally for one guest We
like to bring home with us some homesick
student or pale faced teacher who only
boards, not lives, or a FREUD who loves q
Sunday Sing and eau help with fingers
or voice Chloe. in "A fresh calico aud white
apron, comes in 10 wait ON us when her
dinner, nicely served and garnished, is
ready In summer we give up soup, and
have a lettuce or tomato salad between the
meat course and dessert, and there is al
WAYS coffee or tea at last The dinner Is
the pleasantest and most leisurely Of the
week, as well as the incest. As much as
possible is prepared ON Saturday. BY four
o'clock Chloe has everything cleared away,
aud goes smiling out Of the side door in her
best array, not To return until ten O'Clock.
On side table in the dining room she has
set out a waiter with plate of thin bread
and butter nicely piled basket of cake, "A
dish Of baked apples or fruit, and over all
a napkin TO this will be added later a
pitcher Of ice water and another of milk.
There is also the little japanese tray and
tea things with which the tea is always
made ON the table, instead Of being boiled
and spoiled in the kitchen. If it is winter
she leaves the teakettle ready to boil at a
moments notice in summer | boil the wa
ter IN a saucepan over the kitchen gas. 1t
takes five minutes. and that is all the work
to be done for our Sunday night tea The
meal is perfectly informal If we are going
to evening service, my husband and | some
times take ours when we come home, and
let the rest have theirs when they choose
Sometimes we have happy Sunday even
ings at home, all together, when there are
long. quiet chats, with papa in the mid
die Of the sofa, the little heads on each side
nestled close or our favorite Bible exer
else, each repeating a verse beginning with
A, then one beginning with b, and so going
through the alphabet or singing out of our
sunday school hymnal On these evenings
our tea becomes a real pleasure. | bring
the waiter into the library, and put it on a
little round table before the open fire
While the Souchong is brewing in the little
blue china teapot, the children pass the
bread and butter, or each one helps himself
in picnic fashion, without ceremony. In
summer the little table is wheeled out on
the piazza, and we have our tea there. with
the shadows of the vine leaves dancing
over us while We watch the sinking sun.
Ten minutes is more than enough to gather
up the few dishes afterward The children,
happy in anything out Of week day routine,
say, How lovely Sunday is Mrs s. H.

Yuma County PJacers.

By the first day of October there will be three mining companies at work on the placer grounds about twelve miles distant from Yuma. That the fields are rich has never been questioned. but lack of capital has re- tarded their development. Gila City, Lagnna and the Pot Hole produced large amount of the yellow metal some years ago, but the coarse gold having been skinned off the camps were abandoned and have since only been worked by dry washers, with indifer- snt success. The mining companles now interested m those places will operate with water, and from appear aness thelr success is assured. The mines are easy of access; water is abundant, fuel plenty, labor cheap, and with the immense area of aurlf- erous ground at hand there is no req son why rch and paying indn2try should not be opened up. All of which will be good news to the people of Yuma county.-Y Yuma Sentinel.

A New Pump fer ITrigasors.

 : fife Huffer pump, manufactured at Greeley, Colo, is said to be adtnirabiy adapted for raising large quantities of water from wells. at moderate cost, and is especially suited for irrigating where the water supply can be ob- tanned at depth not greater than TO feet. It is a pump without piston or suciion-rod. Simple, strongly made and easily operated and yet capable of raising any desired quantity of water any height up to TO feet, at mere nominal cost.
 The pump i3 two hollow cylinders open at the bottom. Steam at low pressure IS introduced through small ppe, filing the cylinder; this is .n- stantly condensed by Jet of water automatically forced into it, leaving a vacuum into which the water rushes. While one cylinder is filling the other is dlscharging. There is DO compli- cated machinery; indeed, almost none at all. No experience is required to run il, and there is nothAg to get out of order. The manufacturers guaran- tee to keep it in repair for twenty year al cost of 5 per annum.
 They are built m several sizes, from J0 to LOCO gallons per minute, and cost from Sl00 to Sl,000. A pump of 500 gallons capacity is ample to irri- gate 80 acres, and can be put in and operated at less expense than irriga- ting under the present ditch system.
