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 n
poor price. 1t will cost you
only a penny for postal card
on which to send me your adj
dress, to secure full printed
directions as to the proper
method of taking off'and caring
for your calf skins. | will very
gladly mail these to you free,
postpaid, if you will send me
your name and so request.
In most ofthe towns of Yer
mont | have buyers but in
localities where | have none |
would suggest that a half doz-
en- farmers club together and
ship their skins in quantities of
IS or more in which case |
will pay all freights after de-
livery at Il. r. depot. | cannot
allow you wholesale prices in
towns whereI have buyer but
where | have none | will
gladly arrange with any reli-
able farmer who is willing to
attend to the matter of collect
ing skins taken off in his
vicinity, and in such case will
of course allow the buyers
commission.

A Correction.

There is a widespread misunder-
standing among insurers and even
among those who make practice Of
reading their policies, which too few
do, as to the way the amount due
under q policy in case of loss is ascer-
tanned. This misunderstanding is 50
vital as to prejudice the rights both
of the insurer and the insured and
| should be corrected.
Suppose for instance that Mr..
Smith has a policy for 81, 900, ex-
pressed in two items, $500 on build
ings and $500 on furniture &C., and
suffers loss. Everything is burned
except a portion of the furniture.
An adjuster is sent to settle the loss
and according to the understanding
of many he will proceed first to as
certain the value of the property
saved rather than the value of the
property lost. If the furniture saved
amounts to 5000 the item in the pol
icy of $500 on furniture will be re-
duced by 5000, leaving only $500 as
the amount recoverable under this
item regardless of the amount lost.
l. llIo 10 "IODS' LIC VIII pC
required to make proof of the amount
lost, giving property in detail. The
property saved is not taken into con-
sideration, except it be incidentally
as an aid in ascertaining the amount
of property lost. 1t is the duty of
the insured to do all in his power to
save his property. His contract with
the company requires this. What he
saves is not figured against him. He
draws the full amount of each item
in the policy, providing his loss fig
ures so much, though he may have
saved ten times more than was lost.
1t makes little difference, however,
how the adjuster figures unless the
company is good and ready to pay.
The first thing then is to see that
your insurance is placed in a first
class company.

No Truth In the Statement.

In the early part of last month.
a short paragraph appeared in one
of the papers reading as follows:
swEDEs SUFFERING IN VERMONT.
RUTLAND, April 2.-Rev. Niles Mil
son of the Swedish Lutheran church
has received a letter from one of the
settlers in the Swedish colony at Nor
ton Mills, Essex county, in the for
ests of northern Vermont, complain
ing bitterly of the hardships the ten
ants have endured.
Eleven of the Scandinavians have
left the colony, one walking 20 miles
to Rutland, where he is now en-
ployed in the marble quarries. Only
seven families are left, and they are
reported in a destitute condition.
An earnest plea is made for aid, that
the colonists may be able to leave
the forests.
The article came to the attention
of the Boston Vice Consul of Sweden
and Norway who sent Gov. Page the
following letter:
Boston, April 9th, 1891
To his Excellency, the Governor of
Vermont, Montpelier, Vt.
SIR:-The enclosed article having
appeared in a newspaper, take the
liberty to enquire whether there is
any truth in the statement, also how
long these Swedes have been in the
State, ana whether they are regular
emigrants who have gone there to
seek their living, or whether they are
under contract with some society or
corporation.
Yours very respectfully,

obliged to make any payment on the
land at the time of purchase; had all
the time to pay that we repaired.
Mr.. Stetson owns and operates lum-
Der mills at this place. We were all
oiven employment Immediately on
arrival, wages 81. % per day, house
rent and fuel free. The fuel was de-
livered at our door free of charge.
Every Scandinavian has been fur
nished work on arrival, and offered
steady work every day since at the
above named wages. Some came
here from the New England States,
others direct from Norway. Mr..
Stetson advanced money to several
to send for their families, furnished
them with household goods on ar
rival, and all necessaries to live on.
Some of them were furnished with all
they required to commence on their
land; in fact they all received every
thing they wanted, until some of
them who were not accustomed to
hard work, or work of this kind got
dissatisfied and thought they could
do better in the factories. They in
stilled this into the minds of others.
When the manager of the business
here noticed this he refused to give
them any more credit, would give
them all work but they could not get
any advance any faster than they
earned it. This is what some of them
made a great cutlery about and went
away, the most of them owing Mr..
| Stetson quite a large amount. While
| here they lived on the fat of the land.
| There we're two or three that caused
all the dissatisfaction, and they per
suaded some good men to follow their
example. None of them lived in the
forest as represented, but in a thriv-
ing village. They were all treated
kindly and generously, and repaid the
kind treatment with abuse. Those
of my countrymen who remain here

countrymen being destitute or in

all at work here, receiving good
wages, are well clothed, children well
dressed and attending school.
would further say that there has not
been a single instance where there has
been any restitution or hunger, OF
any person who has received aid in
this town during the past winter, al
the reports you have seen to this et
