TO THE
FARMERS Of VERMONT.

1t has incidentally come to
my knowledge that you oc-
casionally make complaints
because of the small sums re-
ceived for your Dairy skins.
The fault is your own, for if
you would take them off and
properly care for them you
would rarely find a skin that
would bring you less than SO
cents, and a great many of
them would bring you 90,
10 and even SO cents each.
Poor skins, like poor butter,
are poor property and bring a
poor price. 1t will cost you
only a penny for a postal card
on which to send me your adj
dress, to secure full printed
directions as to the proper
method of taking offand caring
for your calf skins. l will very
gladly mail these to you free
postpaid, if you will send me
your name and SO request.

Rode ASHORE ON an Elenhant

Years ago there was a tragic ship
wreck on the Maine coast near Mount
Desert. The vessel was transporting
Van Amburg's caravan. This yarn of
a drowned circus was related to me in
Wiscasset by an ancient mariner in that
salty port According to his recollec-
lions, the lions and the tigers and the
monkeys and nearly all the crew were
drowned. The one who came out of
the disaster easiest was the elephant
keeper. He mounted his huge charge,
