Horse Notes.

The trotters from Maplewood farm
at Hardwick are entered in several
races.
Vermont has raised 10 out of the
763 trotters that got records better
than $50 last year.
D. B. Cushing of East Burke has
sold his horse, Ethen Allen, to par
ties in the West to be delivered at
once.
C. V. Kicherson of Burlington has
sold Nellie R, pacing record 2 :25H, to
William Foley of Hartford; reported
price $500.
Delos Dunton and DR.. A. w. Hin
man Of Dundee, ILL.,, are in Vermont
to buy "a carload of Morgan mares of
the genuine type.
f. S. Elkins and D. w. Porter of
South Troy have purchased of A. NJ.
Bardley his Hambletonian stallion,
Green Mountain Hambletonian.
Dynamite, by Ben Franklin, form
erly owned in West Rutland, ran in
the 2:24 class on June % at Charter
Oak park, Hartford, Conn.,, in three
straight heats. Best time 2:24A.
L. S. Nye of Coventry recently sold
a three-year-old colt by Shermon
Franklin to G.. w. Hale of Boston for
$500 the dam of which is a Morgan
mare seven years old. He also has
three fine FLIES from Abdallah
Wilkes.
DR.. w. S. Webb of Shelburne farms
will make a fine exhibit at Howard
park on July 3 and 4 with his $50
bloodpd horses. Col. LIE Grand B.
Cannon and C. w. Writers of St.
Adams also intend to exhibit some
of their blooded stock.
Edward Twombly of Coventry has
in training a yearling FLY, Clara c.,
owned by Edward Bodwell of Beebe
Plain, which bids fair to become one
of the finest trOtters in this part of
the country. She is Az hands high
and when only II months old trotted
quarter of a mile in AZ seconds.
Dynamite trotted a great race at
Mystic on the 18th, says the Breed
ers Gazette. He was sent for every
one of the five heats and was only
an eye lash behind Abbie V. in the
third heat in 2:24. He forced the
mare out in 2: 23& in the fourth heat
and was right on her wheel in the
fifth. Dynamite was sired by Ben
Franklin, and was bred in West
Rutland.
Something in the horse line that
promises to be heard from in the near
future is the three-year- Ethan
mare owned by j. C. Tracy of Shell
burne, now in training with Charles
Holmes of Charlotte. The dam of said
colt is the Ethan mare " Wealthy"
full sister of Vermont Belle The
colts sire, Winooski, jr Mr. Tracy
is driving four-year-old Gilroy geld
ing that shows splendid style.
Gen. Grant has found half mile
stretch in the road which passes the
old Gates place in Kirby where he
can move his colts. The stretch is
between the residences of l.. 7. Cheney
and George Stickney, and is a very
smooth and level piece of road with
q gradual circle around the Gates
place. The General has over so
horses and colts and every one OF
them has hot blood in them. Out OF
the large number of colts coming
along it will be strange if some OF
them do not, in a few years, give a
wide reputation to the Kirby farm.

An Equitable Decision.
TFrom the Boston Journal


The Attorney Generals decision
that the state of Vermont is entitled
to it's share of the direct tax, free
from all charges for arms, ammuni-
ton, ETC., furnished to Vermont by
the general government during the
rebellion, appears to be entirely SEN
sible and equitable For time dur
ing the war Vermont was under the
double responsibility of maintaining
its regular quota of troops in the
Union armies operating in the South
ern states, and also of defending its
own frontier against aggression.
History records how Loyalty and gen
erously Vermont performed this duty,
mourning heavy expenses, not a cent
of which has ever been repaid by the
Federal government. 1t is only right
and Just that Vermont should receive
it's proportion of the direct tax that
is now being refunded. The amount,
$165, 900, will be an important addi-
ton to the resources of the state
treasury.

Vermont will receive her share OF
the direct tax being paid back to the
states, Notwithstanding the claim set
up that she is indebted to the govern
ment for a larger sum on account of
arms delivered to the state during
the war to repel the st. Adams raid
ers. The case was referred to the
Encouragement, and he decides that
under the circumstances it was the
duty of the government to protect
any of its territory from invasion,
and since Vermont provided the
troops at great expense, the failure
of the state to return the arms can
constitute no claim against the pay
ment of the states share of the
direct tax. There seems to be Just
disposition of the question. The
money coming to Vermont amounts
to about $165, 900" -Springfeld Re

The Saving of Time.

DIR. David Starr Jordan, President
of Indiana University, who is just
leaving that state to assume charge
of the new Stanford University in CAL
ifornia, delivered striking farewell
ad 1ress on Wednesday. His subject
was "The Saving of Time" and he
made a forcible application of it to
the farmer. He told how on a bright
day in April when every farmer
ought to have been rejoicing over the
chance to be at work, he crossed the
state on a railroad train, and noted
as a sample scene, that when the
train stopped at little station to
let off a commercial traveller and one
crate of live chickens, there were no
less than forty men and boys idly
waiting to view the spectacle-"em-
bodied ghosts, dead to all life and
hope, with only force enough ostand
and cape" He went on as follows ::
II 60 back to the old farm in New
York on which | was born, the farm
my father won from the forest, and
on which he lived in freedom and in
dependence; knowing no master,
dreading no oppression. | find on
that farm to-day tenants who barely
make a living. [ go over the farm.
L see unpruned fruit trees, wasted
forest trees, farm implements rusting
in the rain and sun, falling gates,
broken wagons, evidences of wasted
time and unthrifty labor"
Noting such facts as these, DIR Jor-
dan wonders whether "the Cypress
ion of the farmer" about which we
hear so much, is the fault ofthe times
or of the man. Remembering the
time when the farmer was a busy
man, he perceives that it is easy
for a close observer to recognize
the farms on which he is busy to-day
"Their owners" he says, care in
alliance with the forces of nature
The gods are on their side, and they
need no help from politicians Theil
butter sells for money, their oats are
clean, their horses are in demand
whatever they touch is genuine and
prosperous. He takes up the com
| plant that the farmer has to pay
high taxes. and says: No duty on
iron was ever so great as the tax
he pays who leaves his moving ma
chine unsheltered in the storm. The
tax on land is high, but he pays
a higher tax who leaves his meadows
to grow up to white weed and thistles
The tax for good roads is high, but g
higher toll is paid by the farmer who
goes each week to town in mud knee
deep to his horses. There is a high
tax on personal property, but it is
not SO high as the tax ON time which
is paid by the man who spends his
Saturdays lettering about the villagt
streets. All the farmers income
arises from the wise use of his time
One-sixth of his time means one-sixtl
of his income. If he has learned to
make use of his time, all other ills viii
cure themselves. This sort of tall
will not be so popular as the STUMP
speech of the Farmers Alliance office
seeker, but it would be money in his
pocket" if the average farmer would
take it to heart.-New York Evening
Post.

Fletcher and Hardwick inclusive,
on any quantity of Salt that may
be ordered up to 5000 pounds.
This would bring the price, freight

claim that Morgan G. Buckley Is not
