answer they received the following letter:

Beds for Hyaeinth.,

In the preparation of garden bed or
border for hyacinths it is best to take
some special care. The application Of
stable manure before planting is not de-
sirable, as it has tendency to cause the
bulbs to decay, But the addition of a
quantity of leaf mold and IL the soil Is
heavy good dressing Of sand will be
found beneficial, About four inches Of
the top soil can be removed from the
space intended for the bed and laid on
one side; spade over the whole as deep
as possible and work in the leaf mold
and sand, if desired. With n sandy soil
leaf mold alone makes an excellent dress
ing,
Rake over the bed, freeing II from
all stones, and giving it smooth, level
surface, Parallel lines can be drawn
and intersecting ones, and the bulbs
placed so as to show solid masses Of color
or designs Of any desired patterns, At
the point where the lines cross press the
bulbs down into the soil even with the
surface, and when all have been set
cover the whole bed over with the soil
which was first removed, thus leaving
them with about four inches of soil en-
tirely over them. Before the ground
freezes hard the bed should have thick
covering of leaves for winter proteo-

The Gods of the Hills aud the Gods of
the valleys.

We have received the following
private letter, but think we violate
no confidence in giving it publicity.
Our columns are open for all such
discussion. We only ask that con-
tributions be brief and pointed:
Dear Sitter: Do you fully realize
the relative position in which the val
ley towns of Vermont hold the mount
ain towns :? When l look back
twenty-five years and ask what the
State has done for the valley towns
and what it has done for the mount
ain towns | don't wonder that there
are vacant farms in all of the mount
ain towns. Nature has interposed
a barrier against the hill towns to
many of the advantages possessed by
the valley towns, and the fact, if we
consider the whole State in family
relationship, should make the valley
town not only willing but anxious to
be liberal and instead of trying to
make the mountain towns help to pay
$4,000 for a Worlds fair and $3.50,
600 for college to build up some
valley town, appropriate few thous-
and dollars to help in the burdensome
expense of building and repairing
mountain roads or building and run
ming telegraph lines to the back
towns and trying to make these soil
tary places brighter. If the same
policy of treating these mountain
towns was practiced by foreign
power, the muscle and sinew of the
hills and rocks would revolt, and it
would be for about as good cause as
that which made Boston Harbor Il
teapot. Think this up and if you
take up the matter | will help you all
| can.
