Barnard Farms.

There is no question but that Barnard is
one Of the best farming towns in the state.
The land is generally rich, moist, compar-
atively free from stones, well watered, and
well adapted TO all kinds of crops. The
sugar and syrup made has a better flavor
than in most towns. The people are al
most all Americans, and are thrifty, intel
ligent social and well-to-do people. The
town has lost many valuable citizens on
account of western emigration and by
her sons moving into the cities, etc. Ow-
ing to this fact farms can be had for much
less than their real value to-day. Barnard
has no abandoned farms, but there are
plenty of good farms that can be bought
at price now that will make them pay
ing Investment. A gentleman from this
town serving as juror at the Windsor
County term OF court at Woodstock hap
pened to meet a man from New York state
who had looked all over Woodstock for
farm and had not found what he wanted.
He told him of a farm in Barnard. He
came and looked it over, was pleased with
il and the price and started at once for his
home to get his family. He said his son
and a neighbor would also come. He was
surprised that such good farms could be
bought at such low prices. Another gen
tleman who had looked through Orange
and Washington counties was directed to
Barnard by the editor of this paper, and at
once bought farm and paid cash for it.
He too was surprised that good farms
could be bought so reasonably II is to
let the outside world, especially those out
side Vermont, know these facts that some
OF the public-spirited people OF Barnard
have Joined with Mr.. Thayer, to have the
advantages OF the town written up and ad
vertised, and for no other purpose. Any
persons having farms they wish to sell
will do the committee favor by handing
the town clerk full description OF it and
the lowest cash price they will take for it,
and the terms on which they will sell.
This will cost no one a cent. Then when
ever the town clerk receives inquiries for
farms he can answer explicitly and thus
help the sale OF such farms as are on the

New Train from New York.

Announcement is made by the Connec-
ticut River railroad management that, be-
ginning on Sunday, June %, the day be-
fore the White Mountain trains go on for
the season, the present night express
trains will be run on Sunday nights and
Monday mornings. just as on other days
of the week. The train leaves Springfield
at $40 p. M, soon after the arrival OF the
New York express, and arrives in w Ran
dolph at "a. M; leaves w. Randolph at
2 a. m. and reaches Springfield at 7:25 and
New York at 1882 a. m. This arrange
ment win continue until Oct. s. or little
later. 1t win enable New York people to
leave that city during the summer months
at p. m. Sundays as well as week days.
1t will also enable New York business
men to spend Sunday in VT. and return
home early Monday morning, reaching
the city before noon. As, during the sum-
mer months, Saturday is practically hol-
iday in the main business center of the
city, New York business men can leave
the city at4 o'clock Friday p. m. and re-
turn Monday morning without serious
loss of time. This step is an important
one gained toward providing necessary
facilities for travel to accommodate business
men whose families are spending the sum-
mer in Vermont. This arrangement was
brought about by the Central Vt. manag-
ers in their efforts to make Summer
Homes in our State attractive.

NORMAL SCHOOLS.
THE PRINCIPLE.

Does man go to tanner 10 gel
his horse shod, or to a milliner to get
his boots mended, or send for law
yer because his children have the mea-
sles Men must learn how before
they shoe horses, or mend boots, or
prescribe for measly children.
The teacher deals with the noblest
product of this world and has great
power to improve or TO injure that pro-
duct. Surely, one who is to tram
children into men should have spec
ial preparation for ones business.
THE RESULT OF DISCUSSION.
The advocacy of this principle seri-
ously began in the United States in
1886 and il has continued to the pres
ent day. The first two public normal
schools in the country were established
in 1889. In 1855, there were seven
Of them; in 1866, twenty-seven; IN
1870, fifty-fve; in 1888, one hundred
aud thirty-four. The first permanent
chair of pedagogy in the United States
was established in the University of
Iowa in 1873. In 1889, there were
eight such chairs since that time an
educational department has been open
ed in Clark University, like depart
ment has been provided in Harvard
University and in one of our Vermont
colleges some of the seniors have this
year taken an elective course in peda-
gogy. Such is the result of ffty-five
years of discussion and experiment.
Does it not justify the claim that a
special training for teachers is thought
desirable:

IN VERMONT,

normal schools began work under
State supervision in 1867. There are
three such schools which together for
the two years ending June 80, 1890
furnished nearly one-seyenth OF the
common school teachers OF the State.
In towns where normal graduates have
been employed longest and in the larg-
est numbers they are most sought for.
THE RANDOLPH NORMAL SCHOOL
has been in existence twenty-four and
one-half years and has graduated from
its first course eight hundred and thir-
ty-two students, and from its second
course one hundred and twenty-eight
students The standard of scholar
ship was high at the beginning aud has
been raised from time TO time since.
The most notable advance in require
meuts for admission was made in 1885.
One first result TO the school of this
advance was a smaller number of
students, but the change has been APP
proved by the people as the following
statements show:
For the year ending June 30, 1887
the aggregate attendance was 100,
no. Of graduates 10; for the year end
ing June 30, 1891, the aggregate at
tendance was 1870, no. of graduates 81.

THE VINEYARD.
Winter Pruning the Grape.

This may be done any time after the
leaves have dropped, and the buds are in
a dormant state, without injury to the
vine or materially affecting the growth
of wood or fruit the following season
While majority of experienced grape
growers think that no ore particular
time has any advantage over another, so
far as the next seasons crop is con-
cerned, there is quite diversity of opin-
ion on this subject among few of the
knowing ones, who make il rule to car
nv out their particular notions. Some
prune in the fall others in the winter,
and others in the string, and all with
about the same results; which gees to
prove, to my own satisfaction at least,
that it is immaterial when it is done, so
far as affecting the following seasons
growth of wood or fruit There is an
old adage, however, that reads thus:
''Prune early for wood, and late for
fruit" There are some who profess to
believe in this, and only carry it out in
part, as their desire for frnit is so strong
they are very sure to prune late every
time, and still the have plenty Of wood.
With my own experience for n any years,
with both early and late pruning side by
side, | have not been able to see any diff
ference in favor of either. | would
therefore recommend pruning at any
time that best suits convenience, while
the vine is at rest, the weather pleaSaly,
and the shears sharp.
