There are four things that drive our
young men from the farms into town
lite. Farm work lacks the reputation
of being high-toled work farm work
is hard work in spite of all improve
ments in farm machinery farm work
is dirty work and when man is in the
midst of dirt he does not feel so much
like a man; farm work is lonesome
work. Man is a social animal, and it
is terribly monotonous sometimes to
live apart from your fellows and do the
work of life. A young man with a
spark of ambition does not ike to "plod
his weary way" through life. You
will find that good many of those
who are enthusiastic over farm life do
their farming by proxy. If any one
can take these four things out OF the
way we will guarantee that our farms
will be occupied. Until then farming
will not be a desirable occupation.

ery laboring man has the right to sell
his labor in any market where he can
find purchaser. There are no hard
and fast lines along which he must di-
rect his course except such as from sell
fish motives he himself would establish.
These he strips out Of the way when
they interfere with opportunities for
improving his condition, Claiming
these. privileges to which they are enti-
tied under our civil system, they are in
duty bound to concede to capitalists all
that they claim for themselves. Every
man who employs labor has the right
to hire whomsoever he pleases and at
such prices as can be agreed upon be-
tween them. There are no hard and
fastlines determining the kind of help or
the kird of labor an employer shall use,
or the price he shall pay for it, There
are times when certain kinds of labor
are scarce and those who buy it must
pay high price for it. Farm labor
in many sections has come under this
head. There are times when certain
kinds OF labor in certain localities are
abundant and prices are low. There
is no justice in attempting to force the
employer to pay high prices when he
can hire at low prices. The laborer in
any one direction must be helped by
re.adjustment OF the labor market
Forces must be gradually drawn off
from those points where there is sur
plus and directed to those points where
there is scarcity. This can usually
be done in such way as to create 10
violent commotion in the labor market.
This is the method that best accords
with American ideas. These are the
ideas we are in duty bound to keep up
permost in the running of our social
and civil machinery. We must shut
out old world ideas which are too high
ly colored with tyranny, and maintain
in full force our own distinctive prinei-
pies. Capitalists are charged with sell
fishness. Laborers are no less selfish ac-
cording to their measure. The way is
open to laborers to enter the capitalist
class and many are continually doing
this in our free country of changing
fortunes. There is no law nor custom
to prevent any man in this country from
becoming a millionaire, and while linn
itations of wealth forbid that every one
should amass such vast fortune, it
does come within the range of possibil-
ity for every laborer to become a capi-
talist, so far as law and custom are con-
cerned. The more we can teach our
laborers to practice economy, prudence
and all the saving virtues OF which ma
ny are now so negligent, the sooner
they will pass over into the capitalist
class, even though not far up in it. 10
accomplish this object is true Ameri-
can idea. The more it is carried out
the less have we to fear from labor

The last Congress appropriated S5,-
600 for the purpose OF establishing a
fish hatchery in Vermont. The legis-
lature of Vermont at its last session ap-
propriated about half as much more.
This action by these Lodies creates a
public interest in certain things. One
is the appointment of fish commission
ers in the State. Two have already
been appointed, who shall be the third I
The Z S. Commissioner, Col. McDon-
aid has not fully decided whether these
appropriations can be combined and
one hatchery built, or whether it will
be necessary to have two. In the IN
terval we wait. Where shall the hatch
cry be located? is matter of some IN
terest. The Commissioners has sent
letter to Gov. Page stating the situa-
lion, and this has been published with
explanations in the papers OF the State.
These points show the present state cf
the question.

Lyndonville is trying to get up a
Village Improvement Society, but does
not seem to be quite ripe enough yet
for such an organization. We most
heartily commend such organizations
for they have done much good where
they have organized on sound basis
and taken hold of work in earnest
There is not village that cannot be
improved by one of these societies. But
there must be goodly number of the
citizens of any village ready to take
hold with money and labor and push
along the objects of such society. 1t
simply furnishes a voluntary way OF
doing much that cannot be secured by
compulsion. There must be agitation
Of the subject. Get the people ready
and then the organization will come
and the good that flows from it.

Pres. Harrison is winning great
many compliments for his impromptu
speeches on his present trip. We hear
no sharp, unpleasant or mean things
said about him. He has changed the
impression that prevailed regarding
himself all through the South. He
will stand forth in the sight of the peo-
ple of the country as strong, conserv-
alive, level-headed man, capable of
managing wisely the affairs of the ma
ton. He is something more than the
grandfather of Baby Mckee.

piece of wire, run one end through the
loop, give it turn about the axle, and
then form loop about one-half of an
inch above it. Then bend the remain
der of the wire about the border of the
door, making loops in the bottom one
inch apart, running the end up and fin
ishing like the other end. To hang the
door put the lower end in the trap so
that til will start inward. Be sure the
door is low enough down to work
easily and freely to the roof Of
the trap. Then take short piece Of
fine wire and connect through holes in
the treadle with the loops above the
axis. These wires must4be- short
enough so that when weight is applied
to the treadle' it will raise the door to
the roof IL the trcadle is found to be
heavy for the door the loops above the
axis extend too far outward, which can
be remedied by bending toward the
trap. See that the door works easily
and freely without catching on the
sides, and it Is ready to set or place
where the rabbits will find it. In trap
ping rabbits do not set the traps imme-
diately in their runways, but to the
side, with the open end toward them.
If twigs have been bitten off by the
rabbits set trap there. In travelling
from place to place rabbits usually take
the lowest ground along little branches,
or, even shallow hollows one or two
feet below the general surface, SO along
these are~good trapping grounds, also
along fences, hedges, around the or
chard, under clumps of dense bushes
and brush heaps. Usually rabbits do
not go into trap the first nigh. it is
set The weather has a great deal also
to do with trapping. Sometimes / do
not catch a rabbit for nearly week,
while at other times get half dozen
day. Batting the traps will only col
onize them with mice. Rabbits go into
them for shelter and to secrete them
selves.-American Agriculturist
