THERE'S PLENTY OF BEEF.-If any
persons have been frightened by re-
cent rumors of coming deficiency in
the beef supply of the country, they
can find reinsurance in this years re-
port of the agricultural department on
farm animals. To put the statement
in round numbers there were 25,0OO,-
900 in the United States in 1860, 49,
000, 900 in 1880, and 100000 in
1888, the year covered by the last re-
port. If we examine the matter more
in detail the increase is found to have
gone on with considerable regularity
from year to year. There have been,
of course, hard winters and seasons of
pestilence, years when breeding paid
we'll and high prices were the rule and
years when profits were slight and the
fattening process Hnremunerative
Yet through it all the beef raising bus
mess has steadily grown, and it prom
ises to go on increasing quite as rapidly
as the needs of the country demand.
The areas Of pasture where cattle can
be fattened with little or no extraneous
food are coming to be more generally
occupied; cattle are matured at an
earlier age than formerly, and are now
profitable, because they bring quicker
returns under the modern system of
treatment, and thus declines in price
are easier to meet. 1t is true that
ranch and range cattle are not as nu-
merous as a few years ago, because
the pasture areas are needed by set
tiers. But as the bounds of the
ranches are contracted, smaller stock
farms and more careful treatment are
resorted to; and there's no reason,
despite some recent pessimistic pre-
dictions, to fear that the beef supply
is at all likely to fall below the de-
mand.--Providence Journal.

Prof. Campbell Heard From.

The following, from Mt. Washing
ton among the Clouds, will be of in
terest to the people of this county:
" A party of six, including the Profess
sor and five students of the White
Mountain Summer School, dubbed
: Alpine climbers by the guests at
the Summit House, left Bethlehem by
train Sunday morning for the top of
Mount Washington. Not satisfied
with the speed of the train, in their
haste to reach the top, - Fabyen's
they took to the sandy Dad leading to
the Base. Having covered the six
miles in an incredibly short time, they
were soon vieing with the trains in
efforts to get above the clouds. Pro-
visions disposed of, they started up
Jacobs ladder, attached by rope to
the Professor, reminding one forcibly
of monkeys passing from tree to tree.
Only Pecky, the cranky one, and the
Hill they carried along refused to be
thus attached. The Goddess Minerva
feared not the dizzy heights but as
cended boldly in the face of the on
coming trains. All water tanks on
the way we're drained to relieve the
thirsty travellers. This, and the fact
that their skirts swept clean the tar
from the track, so that the r. r. COM
pany will find it necessary to secure
new supply seriously troubled one of the
number, who is very conscientious.
while the callous one who carried the
most tar was troubled not. Arriving
at the top fresher than when they
started, they took tramp down into
the Gulf of Mexico after a SNOWFALL
and an appetite for supper (Which one
of the party secured to the extent that
the bill of fare was just sufficient to
supply his needs). In place of the
anticipated glorious sunset, they were
entertained with celestial fire works in
the form of grand and terrific thun-
der storm around and below them.
After refreshing nights sleep and
frst-class breakfast, to which thew
did ample justice, as there was moth
ing higher to climb, they took up their
line of march. The last seen of them
they were lined for the Crawford
House with two more schoolma'ams
attached to the string which the Pro-
fessor still held; thus they passed
away into the clouds. A telegram
from the Crawford assures us that,
having gotten over their haste, they
decided TO go part of the way back by
train, in order to patronize the rail
road, and enjoy the social advantages
thereon. The last part of the Sabbath
was peacefully spent at Bethlehem"

Two Bio FARMERS. -Speakiug of
farms and farmers, the biggest farmer
in Vermont is Oscar A. Burton, of
Swanton. He, with his son, D. Moves
Burton (both well known in St. Johns
bury), has 10000 acres of land in
Franklin county. 1t is not in one
patch, however, but is divided up into
smaller farms, the largest of which
includes 1900 acres. He keeps 500
cows and other lives took in proportion
The Messrs. Burton also own a big
ranch out in Kansas so that, alto
gether, they seem TO have their full
share of the earth's crust. The second
largest farmer in Vermont is DR..
Webb, of Burlington. He has $500
acres of land, and fancy live stock till
you can't rest. But his principal dis
tinction lies in the fact that he has the
biggest barn in the world. How big
is it? Hold your breath minute.
1t is in the form of square, and each
side of the square is 400 feet in length,
and it is high in proportion. The
center is open, of course, for barn
yard. But then, a man who has a
regular income of $4,000 a day (Sun-
days and rainy days not included) can
afford to have big barn.-St. Johns

The Vacation Season.

About half of the world, from the
President and cabinet down, ara out
on a vacation, and the other half are
waiting for their turn.
1t is rather amusing, says sensible
exchange, to observe the amount of
hard work that the busy American
people will put in the struggle to get
rested in summer. The wheels of
business cannot stop, and there is
about so much work to be done on the
average through the year. The result
is in many situations that while one
man is enjoying himself another man
is doing two mems work. While one
clerk is away the others fill the gap by
extra work, and so the weight shifts
from shoulder to shoulder. But the
number of pounds and ounces of bust
ness to be done is not changed. None
the less is a change of surroundings
necessary to men who are confined
within doors and bear steady strain
of work, even though the amount of
work to be done is not changed there
by. 1t is sad delusion, however, for
a man to fancy that he can over
tax his nervous energy deliberately
through the year, and then make it all
up by few days vacation. Nature
does not do business on that plan.
She requires people to pay as they go,
as a rule, and those who get too heav-
lily in debt to her are in danger at any
time of having the old dame refuse
their vacation coin when they step up
to the health counter to settle back
bills. Take rest while health per-
mits it; then you will enjoy it.

A LITTLE FRIENDLY ADvICE.-There
are several " don which should be
observed when two or more women
are gathered together, but which, alas
are frequently disregarded. For in
stance, don't say to a friend: "How
stout you are growing" No lady
likes to be told that she is growing or
has grown stout. If it be fact, she
is doubtless quite well aware of it, and
anxious to keep others from discover
ing it. Don't say, How thin you
are!" either, for both women and
men loathe to be told that they are
either stout or thin. Unless you say,
" How well you are looking! ]" it is
better to make no remark on the per-
sonal appearance of your friend.
Don't tell a friend who has on par
ticularly becoming gown or bonnet
that she looks ten years younger in
that than in anything you have ever
seen her wear. Don't tell her, either,
that it is the most becoming thing you
have ever seen her wear. This is an
of her taste heretofore,
though you probably have no such
thought.
