Counties.
For several years we have handled Gar
den and Field Seeds very extensively and
have DEVOTED goodlY share of our time TO
studying their various features, so that now
we are not boasting when we claim little
knowledge about them. We have tried to
find out what seeds are best for our neigh
borhOod and where TO buy good seed. How
well we have succeeded remains for yOu to
find out. We have and are yet try ing to
find out how we can double and treble our
last seasons sales and have devised several
plans to do it; one is-to get good seed, of
course, and from responsible parties. An
other is-to sell cheap and give good mea-
suTes; and still another is-to get YOU just
what you want in tho quickest possible
time and charge you nothing for packing,
freight, etc, only list prices in catalogue
you select from,
We have other features besides, and have
very fine stock on hand and would be
pleased to sell you all you need, feeling
assured that we can please you.

ORIGINAL CHEAP CASH STORE

THE position we have taken
from the very start of our mer-
camille career, of selling the
best at the lowest possible
price, has saved the buying
public of this section a nice
round sum. The One Price
System which we strictly en-
force enables parents to send
children to our store TO do
buying without fear that adj
vantage will be taken ofthem.
These two reasons alone, have
caused many to change from
the Credit to the Cash System.

Outlook for Poultry.

The present outlook for New Eng
land poultry-raiSers is certainly a
very bright one, says a correspond
ent of the American Cultivator. The
recent passage of the Mckinley bill
ends practically, excepting with an
occasional domestic scarcity, any
fears of outside competition. Our
pOultry-raisers here in the east are
now more or less interfered with by
western growers, who by reason of
cheaper land and cheaper grain can
grow poultry and protitably place
them in our eastern markets at "a
price which gen rally undersells Mas
sachusetts and New Hampshire stuff.
But the time is coming, and we get
nearer to the goal every season,
when the farmers of the west, in Kan
sas and Nebraska, will find a better
and more remuneratiVe selling mar
ket nearer home. Only a few years
back, the only large outlet there was
for western chickens and turkeys was
at New York and Boston. Now con
siderable quantities go to Chicago
and st. Louis, and to markets fur
ther west toward the Pacific coast.
When the western poultry is shipped
to western points for consumption,
the New England farmers will be
called upon to supply New England
markets. Will they do it?
The supply of fine freSh-gathered
eggs is diminishing, | found upon "a
recent visit to the city markets. This
is principally on account of the cool
weather. Prices are likely to 90 up
steadily now until Christmas time.
Speaking of eggs reminds me of some
figures l found on the chamber OF
commerce, in South Market street,
the other day. Last year Canada
exported into the United States A.
OPS 1913 dozen eggs. and imported
from the United States 632, 1876 doz-
en- eggs; the latter being southern
eggs, that were shipped during Janu-
airy, February and March. Last
year, Belgium, Denmark and Ger
many sent 800, 900 dozen and China
1926, 300 dozen. Of the imported
eggs, about onP-half were entered in
Buffalo and Niagara, and most OF
the remainder on the st. Lawrence,
! Vermont and eastern frontier. The
production of eggs depends upon ac-
feasibility to markets, to careful cul-
ture and good food. In New Eng
land the average production to "a
fowl is variously estimated from 80
to 100 eggs. New York, Pennsylva-
mia, Illinois and Ohio average 60. In
some of the southern states the aver
age is 40.

Leaf from EarIy History.

"Conant's Vermont" 4" recently is
sued, contains the following legisla-
tive history: "The first Legislature
met at Windsor, Tuesday, March II,
l77S. During the thirteen years of
the separate independence of Ver-
mont her Legislature met twenty
eight times, and in one year, 1871
there were four sessions. From 1887
one session was the rule until 1870;
since that time one session in two
years has been the rule Previous to
1871, the Legislature had met in
eight Vermont towns, and in Charles
town, n. H., and previous to 1908 it
had met in fourteen different Yer
mont towns. In 1906 an act of the
Legislature provided that on certain
conditions Montpelier should become
the permanent seat of the Legisla-
ture. These conditions were COM
piled with and Montpelier became the
capital of the state in 1903. By the
Legislature at it's first session in
1888 the state was divided into two
counties, Bennington west, and Cum
berland east of the Green Mountains.
Before 1871, seven counties had been
established, and the next year the
number was increased to eleven
Lamoille, the fourteenth and last
county, was formed in 1885. Origi-
nally the legislative power of the
state was vested in a House of Rep
resentatives, and the executive pow
er was vested in a governor, or in his
absence, a acknowledgements and
council, consisting of twelve council
ors chosen annually by the freemen
of the state. In 1886, the constitu-
tion was so amended as to abolish
the executive council and to estab-
lish Senate consisting OF thirty
mann lo,.y -

Facts Worth knowing.

When whalebones have become
bent, they may be used again by
first soaking them in tepid water for
a few hours, and then drying them.
When washing windows, looking
glasses, etc, be sure TO put little
ammonia in the water This will
save labor, and clean them much
more effectively, giving as Well n
much finer polish. For general
cleaning, ammonia in the water will
remove dirt, smoke, grease, etc,
much better than anything else.
Do not wash combs unless abso-
lutely necessary. Water will make
the teeth split and the comb rough.
Small brushes, which are made for
the purpose of cleaning combs, are
easily obtained at little expense, and
with one of these the comb may be
thoroughly cleansed, wiping well and
following with soft cloth after
ward.-[Good Housekeeping.

Foreign Trade and the Tariff.

1t should be noticed that the tariff
has not destroyed our foreign trade,
NOR is there any evidence that it has
diminished it, although the carrying
has been transferred to foreign bot
toms. In 1870 our foreign trade
with the outside world had aggre-
gated $S2S, 100000, and in 1890 it
had reached the enormous sum of
81 ,647.000.000. If seventy-five per
cent. of the carrying trade were in
American bottoms there would not
be employment for one-half the men
of New England who are now engaged
in manufactures and in the depend
ent arts and trades; while for women
and children sea-gOing pursuits fur
nish no occupation, but the absence
upon the ocean of fathers, husbands
and sons creates more desolate homes
than can now be numbered on the
hill-sides of New England. This great
increase in our foreign trade has
come while the protective system
was in operation, and no such gain
can be shown during the free trade
period, that is, from 1882 to 1861.
Nor is the export of manufactures
now an insignificant item. In the
first eleven months of the last fiscal
year our export of manufactures
amounted to nearly $13S, 100000 or
more than seventeen per cent. of the
total exports; and our export OF
like articles in May, 1890, showed a
gain over the month of May, 1886
at the rate Of about $30,O00,0OO a
year. Thus it must beadmitted that
even under the protective system our
manufactures find a market in other
countries October Forum.
