The full board was present and the
programme was carried out to the letter
Cooke spoke on " Breeding Dairy
Stock" Chaplin on " Vermont Farmers
and Farms,n Smith on Winter and
Summer Dairying," Vail on Ensil-
age" Davis on " Economy in Stock
Feeding" Winslow on "The Best
Horse for the Farm" AS these talks
are to be repeated over the state,
shall not give them away so early in the
season. To me the addresses all seem
fair and candid presentation Of the
various topics. Generally they are full
long enough, for the best part of sub
ject is often brought out by debate and
discussion.
The dairy seems to be the leading
interest in this section, although horses
are having big boom. The talks on
rearing, feeding and management of
cows, by Messrs. Bronson, Hovey and
others of Hardwick, Root and McEwen
of Craftsbury, Cox and Bell of Walden,
were good and useful. Some fine
records in butter-making were given.
Mr.. Cox has sold three hundred two
and two-fifths pounds per COW in a
year, and has a herd of some fourteen
Jerseys. He feeds hay twice day,
straw once, one quart of meal and one
of bran twice a day-meal one-half
corn and one-half cOtton-seed by
weight. Good care of the cows and
milk is taken. Mr.. Root gave the
record of his neighbor, Amasa Scott of
Craftsbury, who cuts his grass three
times, and with that, green or dried q,
and few potatoes, has made from five
hundred to six hundred pounds per
COW in a year. Mr.. Chapn's paper,
touching on the economics of the farm
ers' situation, brought out debate on
taxation, hard times, etc, in which
Messrs. Cooke, Bell, Kidder and Davis
took leading part.
George l.. Brimhall of Minneapolis,
Mimi, gave his experience in life on
the frontier since 1855. He had often
he said drawn oats thirty miles to sell
for eighteen cents per bushel, wheat
for forty cents and hay for so per ton.
He had had hard time for thirty-four
years and had just got out of the
woods He would not advise a Young
man to go West now unless he had
money to start with.
Mr.. Winslow's able presentation of
the horse topic brought out the horse
men. w. 5. Bailey of East Hardwick
who has horse dairy of fifty or more,
told US of the two-year old colt, Helen
NJ, who trotted a mile in 2;29 the past
summer. She was raised, he said
largely on skim-milk, which seemed to
work well in her case. Mr. Bronson
exhibited a sample of Jersey milk from a
| cow inst drVino off that showed in the
test-tube eighty per cent of cream.
All the sessions of this meeting were
well attended and the people showed
great interest and an abundant hospi-
tality. Most of the board were taken
care of among the farmers, but where
there is as good a hotel as the one here
! your Transient will board at the inn.

THE New York Herald is unques-
tionably the greatest newspaper in this
country, and in the whole world. 1t is
brilliantly and trenchantly edited, and
covers broadly the entire domain of
human knowledge and research; but in
the matters of gathering and publish
ing the news of the universe its enter
prise is simply illimitable. 1t was the
promoter, few years ago, of the expe-
dition to find Livingstone, led by its
own correspondent, this same Stanley,
whose name is now on every tongue
1t sent relief to Stanley on his way to
the shores of the Indian ocean, with
Emin rescued, and the American flag,
borne by the Herald correspondent,
fiuttered from the explorers tent. 1t
published first of all, in its European
and American editions, the news of
SANKEY'S temperance in the East. and
his thrilling letter from the African
wilds was sent under the sea to the
European capitals and the American
metropolis. This achievement alone
was at a cost of So, 500. And these are
by no means exceptional instances of
its enterprise. The Herald is indeed
not merely great paper-it is, far and
away, the greatest.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1889-12-11

STANLEY believes that Livingstone's
mantle has fallen upon his shoulders,
and expresses his determination to de-
vote the remainder of his life to the
cause of African discovery and civiliza-
ton. Every one has anticipated this.
Africa will be his monument, and very
likely his tomb. The work of which
he has become enamored in the torrid
zone is certainly far more rational than
that which has lured scores of brave
spirits to the icy wastes of the other
extreme - and to fearful deaths,
America, few fleeing centuries back
herself the sphinx that enticed daring
adventures to her wilds, is repaying in
kind her obligations to the Old World
Stanley has explored physical world
in Central Africa; KEENAN, moral and
political hell in Siberia.

THE Coledonian said, in recent issue,
that the new school law requires
things that are unnecessary, if not posi-
tive hardships." "The fact that every
one desiring to teach" it continued,
"must assemble at the county seat, at
a certain time, and spend two or three
days on expense, is one criticism made
on the law" The WATCHMAN ex-
planned to the Caledonian that there is
no such " fact" in the law; that, on
the contrary, Section 46 provides that
the examinations shall be held " at
convenient places to be designated by
the supervisor of schools" With
strange perversity the Cdledonidn still
maintains that its statement was
true" If our contemporary can not or
will not see that it was in error, we

THE stars and stripes were not at
half-mast on the war department staff
at Washington on the occasion of the
death of Jefferson Davis. The party
of the rebellion was not in a position
to repeat Lamar's insult to the Union
when Jake Thompson died. Rebellion
never got much of recognition from
Proctor as soldier, and he is hardly
the man, individually or officially, to
put on sackcloth and sit in ashes when

WIEN the democracy came into
power, there was a grand rush to exam
inc the " books " to expose republican
corruption that had been so loudly
charged The democrats went through
the books" they counted the cash,
and only one cent was missing, which
they found on the floor the first time
they swept out. Well, the republicans
have come into power, and the first
business that comes before the house
of representatives is the demand for a
committee to investigate the accounts
of the retiring democratic sergeant-at-
arms, whose cashier has gone off to
Canada with about 100000 of the rep
resentatives' salaries in his pocket.
The situation is embarrassing to the
democracy as well as the mourning
representatives.

Boarding ArOund---NO. 4.

The meeting at Snowsville, in Brain
tree. on the evening of November 30,
although not regular board meeting,
was so we'll attended and so successful
that it deserves brief mention. Sal
mon Williams of RoXbury presided and
managed the meeting. A bright moon
light night, good sleighing and a wide
awake people gave us Westinghouse
full. The Snowsville band furnished
instrumental music, and the children
of the Farnsworth, Dewey, Williams,
Thayer and Martin families sang fine
songs and glees. Mr., Chapin's talk
on "Grasses" was well discussed by
George w. Flagg, Henry Howard and
others. The balance of proof seemed
to be in favor of early cutting and cut
ting twice. In the matter of fall feed
ing mowings there was sharp dis
agreement, Mr.. Flagg maintaining that
it was better to feed off the after
growth than to NOW it or leave it on
the ground, especially on good land.
There are some good sheep farmers
here as well as dairymen. Hon. Victor
|. Spear keeps some two hundred fifty
Paular Merinos, all registered; George
w. rldSS mas hue lloch vi NoteWolus.
There is creamery here, but we did
not have time to examine it.
AT EAST HARDWICK.
The meetings opened Tuesday at
Village Hall, with bright man from
Walden, G. j. Bell, as chairman, who
made pleasing address, and presided
with ease, dignity and precision. An
excellent choir, with a piano, gave us
the best music-the good old songs.
One evening little mouse from under
the stage ran up the leg of the tenor.
He shook it off at the feet of the So
prano, when it took refuge in the re-
cesses of her skirts, and there was a
little solo and dancing not on the bills.

II was the irony of fate that the
heroic governor, Emin Pacha, who had
for years successfully braved all the
dangers of Equatorial Africa, dwelling
in torrid climate, among barbarous
peoples and environed by savage foes,
should, on the very day of his return to
the confines of civilization, meet with
an accident that seriously threatens
his life. His misfortune strikes sym
pathetic chord in every heart. The
hope that he will recover to receive
and enjoy his well-earned honors is
deservedly and universally expressed.

Civil Service Examinations.

Theodore Roosevelt tells a good story
that well illustrates the folly and ignor-
ance of those who seek to disparage
civil service reform by attacking the
examinations applicants for office are
obliged to take. Said the commissioner
"There was a prominent politician, a
man of national reputation, speaking to a

for inspection the following
morning of the first showing Of
Christmas goods.
That sounded the call from
one end of the city to the other,
and bright and early the tide
set in, and has continued from
then till now, with constantly
increasing volume.
Every merchant in Worces-
ter needed the signal, and
fastened to marshal his forces
in Christmas array, without a
moment to spare, for the ladies
came down upon us all in a rush.
We are a dry-goods house,
first of ALL but there appears
to be a need of the delicate,
dainty things that a lady will
buy that we are expected to
nave ready tor you each year.
We are ready with whatever
is pleasant and nice in fancy
things, carefully selected, the
very choice of the choicest, and
such as you will not be likely
to find elsewhere.
One of the very prettiest
added yesterday is a CeLlulo1d
beauty transparent, beautifully
decorated hand-work.
Every one who takes it up
eXclaims What is to- Well,
it is the loveliest kind of
Handkerchief Box, with a COM
panion Glove Box. You'll think
they cost high, but no; $500
for the set is all.
In the same family of trans
parent Celluloid is a dainty
broom-holder hand-painted eX-
tremely nice, SI.37.
OXydized Silver Brush, Comb
and Mirror, $3.50; but then,
they are elegant. We have
them at as low price as $500.
We have a lively remembrance
of having sold them seasons
ago for twice that sum.
With these are pretty Cellu-
loid Cylinders, with Comb,
Brush and Toothbrush en-
closed. A nice gift SI.75.
Fire Screens, Fan Screens
and Holders, pretty things, at
reasonable prices, and ever SO
many other gems fit for lady
to buy.
We have now a useful story
to tell you. We have purchased
the stock of C0rSetC00e1S owned
by manufacturer, and they go
on sale this morning.
There are fifty dozen of the
regular CSC quality, that we are
able to sell at nc. Se0euteen
cents, therefore, Is the Price.
We have tested every one of
these covers. They are well
made, good cotton, pretty bits
of Hamburg trimming, a really
good Corset Cover for nc.
With them are a lot of s.
dozen Nightgo70ns, Mother
Hubbard style, pleated fronts,
plain yoke backs, extra good
cotton. The very Nightgown
you know at 75c, and worth 75C
now, but that we can sell at SOC.
So, then, ffD-ntme cents will
be the price while they last
They are an astonishingly good
bargain. Ladies, we assert it.
There is no use attempting
it; no man can tell wherein the
beauty of Ba6y Garments lies.
Oh such many of them came yesterday The
cunningest of dressing sacques. robes pillow slips
of cobweb lawn, hemstitched, little bibs with deep
soft lace. one of them silk centered.
Ba6y Wrappers of fine Cash
mere, yoke lined with silk, seal
loped sleeves, neck and yoke
daintily embroidered with silk
of delicate blues, pinks and
white.
Little Sacques, in flannel and
cashmere, in baby colors, all as
lovely as the babies they are
