LEGATION of poem by DR.. William L.
White, which some have asserted is a
plagiarism. The poem from which it is
said to have been plagiarized is called
the Song of the Vermonters, published
in 1919, and claimed by Whittier in a
letter published in 1877. At least a
clipping from newspaper of that date
purports to be letter from Whittier
claiming the authorship of the poem.
Others go still farther and claim that it
was originally written by Ethan Allen.
This yarn is going the rounds: James
Dodge of Lunenburg one morning found
sore place on the shoulder of one of

rubbed it, and changed her place, but the
next morning it was much larger, and
another COW also has raw place on her
shoulder. The peculiar Disappearance
of the hide became a puzzle. After
watching he found that rats were act
ually eating the hide off his COWS. Quite
large patches. say six by eighteen inches,
had been denuded.

Reflect.

The scheme 10 withhold wheat from the
market in the hope of getting higher prices
for il when II is marketed is an old one.
1t has been tried again and again. As We
have said heretofore. to withhold the
wheat would result in o diminished con-
sumption. Or, in the words OF the New
York Tribune, difference of half q bushel
yearly in the consumption of 200, 000, 900
inhabitants, who ordinarily eat from six to
ten bushels per head. would not be sur
prising change. but il would suffice to sub
stitute IN unsold surplus for ali expected
deficit.
In other words il tho consumption di-
minishod only half-bushel for each in
habitant. the decrease would be enough to
overcome all the benefits expected to re-
suit from keeping back the wheat. Thus
in withholding from market the wheat
which We now sell as soon as possible, wo
should only damage ourselves. The 20o,-
100000 OF inhabitants spoken Of by the
Tribune are not all in the United States, Of
course.
Again: Who desires 20 run the risk OF
holding wheat in his barns or in the mills ?
There are many enemies Of tho farmer to
be found in shocks. or stacks, or eranaries.
or mills. Will he improve his condition
by taking the risk Of diminished con-
sumption on the one hand, and ON the
other hand destructive warfare upon his
