AN EXTRA SESSION.

A special despatch from Montpelier,
under date of the 2Oth, says: THE
question of having an extra session of
the Vermont Legislature, to enact the
legislation necessary to obtain the
money due the State from the Govern
ment under the Direct Tax bill passed
by the last Congress, is being seriously
agitated by members of the General
Assembly in many localities. The
amount due Vermont is $4,000, but
this sum cannot be paid the State Treas
uTer until the next Legislature meets in
October, 1892, unless special session is
sooner held and an act passed accepting
the provisions of the Reminding bill. II
no special session is held the State will
lose the interest on this money for fully
eighteen nonths, which, at four and
one-half per cent. amounts to more than
SD 600 The cost of a special session of
the Legislature for the length of time
necessary to legislate on this subject,
would not exceed $1,000. This estimate
is based on mileage expense of $1,000
and a session of one day ut $1,000. In
the estimation of leading Senators and
Representatives it seems to be wise and
expedient to- hold special session for
the purpose of securing the direct tax
due this State. There is also another
urgent call for legislative action at this
time. 1t seems that the appropriation
for new government building at St.
Adams is not available until the Legisla-
ture passes a special act ceding the land
accepted for a site and eXemptingi it from
taxation. The st. Adams Public Build
ing bill carries an appropriation of
100000. The demand for enlarged ac-
CommOdations for the customs service
and the postofiice is urgent and pressing,
but unless legislative action is secured
in the direction specified at special
session as proposed, year and half
must elapse before the construction of
this much-needed Federal building can
be begun.
1t is amusing how many schemes have
been suggested based upon the SUPPOSE
ton that special session will be called.
The Agricultural College and other
questions lead these suggestions. Bet
ter lose the interest than risk session
of the number of 1890,

WHY ABANDONED FARM

A Franklin county, Mass, farmer
writes to the Springfield Republican in
which he airs the idea that farms are
abandoned This may be one cause
operating to a limited extent The
Republican takes up the matter editOri-
ally and finds an important cause for the
abandonment of farms in the great
haste to get rich. We presume that this
canse operates more powerfully III the
vicinity of large towns than in more re-
mote sections, for ere are greater
temptations nearer at hand. People like
to live in or near cities. They will
leave good places in the country where
there is comfort, the certainty of work
and the prospect of gaining compe-
tence If not of becoming rich, for places
in the city where work is uncertain,
comforts sometimes very cold, because
of the mere chance to become rich
Certain weight must be given to the
abandonment of roads and scarcity of
GOOD help and other causes, but we have
not laid stress enough on this one thing.
We NAV not approve of this strong de
sire to hasten to become rich, but the
fact is what we are considering. In
looking over the large fortunes of the
country it is discovered that not many
are made on farms. 1t is said that there
are UPWARDS of $50 men in the country
worth more than S20,OO0,0OO each, and
tbe number of those who are simply
millionaires is not counted. But where
Is tbe man who has made q million or
even half a million dollars at farming.

less notoriety. II he proves successful
and maintains proper worth Of charac-
Ter an amount nf interest attaches to
his name that will turn the thoughts of n
large number of young men TO the same
kind of a life. 1t may be true that some
who have made poor lawyers and doc
TORS might have made excellent farmers,
bnt they preferred to take the chances
Of success in a profession rather than
abide BY the certainty of il on farm.
This turning from fam life OPENS IL,

some farms. Another boy from the
same family goes into business and by
some lucky turn of fortune grows rich.
In short the boy who remains at home to
take care of the old folks may get the
most real comfort out of life, but he
looks upon it as dull, commonplace
affair The other members of the house
hold who have gone out into the world
have found a spice in life that is outside
of his own dull experience. The fact is,
these boys who leave the farm and grow
rich and successful, draw other boys
away from the farm. Wealth means
power and exemption from toll, and all
like it because it secures these things.
For young man to start out and under
take to nav for farm and secure wealth
to relieve him from toll IN his old age
appears like a hopeless undertaking.
He will take risks for riches. The
brighter and keener he is the more diff
cult it is to keep him on the farm. Thus
our farms, if not left entirely or absorbed
into other farms, pass into the Occupa-
ton of foreigners, who, though indus
trious, do not always form desirable
neighbors. The result is that whole
neighborhoods are left by the native to a
| foreign population. In an early day
there were fewer attractions away from
the farm, there were fewer opportunities
| for business, manufactures were in their
infancy. Now the boys 90 from the
farms to the shops of all kinds. If the
labor to be performed is no easier it is
better systematized, more attractive,
and the associations into which they
enter, whatever their grade, bring more
pleasure. There are not many of our
young men of well to do families that
fully enjoy farming, Many who labor
on farms either as servants or as indie
pendent owners, feel like apOlOgizing
for being in their present position, and
many are looking for what they regard
a better chance. Not many of our farm
ers encourage their boys to stick to the
farm. They are looking for something
better for them. Not many of our girls
who do not think it humiliating &c
marry young farmers, and if drawn into
any entangling alliances with such will
try and induce them to turn aside tC
some other occupation. In view Of
such a state of affairs is it strange tina
there are neglected farms? Is it mat
ter of surprise that the farm marke
abounds with sellers while buyers arr
few and far between? Is it surprising
that as buildings decay adjoining farms
are consolidated, or turned into pasture
or left to grow up to forest? There has
not been period for half generation
when the outlook for farming was bet
ter than it is to-day. Farm products arr
high; farms can be bought cheap; anC
the most important thing needed is sucl
a change in public sentiment toward
farming as shall place it in as honorable
a position as any other calling. Besides
we ought to get over the idea that tn
great end of life is to get rich. Let eacl
man be faithful, honest, industrious
prudent. economical, and other thing
being equal, some measure of wealth vii
come as incidental, Independent of aim
A more contented spirit will hold mel
to the farm.-HerdM Dc NelCS

Mrs Hannah A. Rood, mother of Mrs.
Daniel I. Rates, died at the home of her
daughter, Thursday evening at the age
of eighty-iive years. No specific disease
brought on her death, but a general
breaking down of the vital forces caused
by fall year ago last September. Mrs.
Rood was born and reared in Pownal,
and was married to John Rood in 1884
having had seven children, all having
passed over the peaceful river except
Mrs. Daniel T. Bates, with whom she
spent her latter days. All that loving
hearts and willing hands could do availed
nothing, the great enemyhad claimed her.
She died beautiful death. As a mother
she was all the sacred name implies; as
a Christian she attained to the 'fullness
of the blessing of the gospel of peace"

age of eighteen, and remaining devout

life. The funeral was held at the NJ. L.

One of the thousands of women who
suffer in silence when they ought to be
happy.
Why do they suffer?
Because the innumeTable ills common
to their sex afflict them. Because their
condition is not understood or appreciat-
ed by the men around them. Thousands
of women suffer silently and the world
never knows of the agony they endure.
1t is all wrong. tits needless. Passing
sickness may come, but there is no rea-
son why it should continue. The sys-
TEN can be strengthened, the life quick
ened and the health toned up by the
right means. All! but what means?
