Reliable seeds.

There is no one thing connected with
farming or gardening in which more
care should be exercised than in the Sc
lection Of fresh and reliable seeds. On
these depends the success or failure OF
the crops. If they are poor, lebor,m mo
ney and everything, is lost. Good seeds
cost but a trife more than poor. 1t IS
good rule to refuse absolutely to buy
,eeds of any kind that are offered at a
low price. II they are offered at less
price than usually charged rest assured
there is something wrong about them
Then too, it is fact that northern
grown seeds are the best for use IN thus
State. The seeds we offer as prem-
ums in another column are the very
best in the world They are grown by
Richard Mott near Burlington, Vt.,and
are put up and sold only by him. lie
began in the seed business few years
ago in a small way, but his business
has grown very rapidly,s simply because
all who tried his seeds once found them
reliable and became large and perma-
bent patrons. We are enabled to make
tbs exceptionally liberal offer because
be wishes to have large number try
bis seeds in this part of the State this
year, and we hope all subscribers Will
avail themselves of this opportunity to
gel reliable seeds in return for few
hours work. Mr.. Mott exhibited sam
lles Of his seeds at the State Fair and
he Bethel Fair last year and took first
lFemlums. We know he is reliable.

will let you know when we know. This
is terrible hard year for people in this
country. We had drouth and hot
winds, never so bad as this year in this
section of country before. Nothing
raised. Small grain was so light and
corn not bit. We had so acres and
not a bushel. We had not a bushel of
potatoes, not a bit of garden sauce. We
worked hard and have nothing for it.
We sold off our hogs last Sept. and our
calves and all the other stock we could
get rid Of. 1t was very low but now
you cannot give it away. Hay is worth
$40 per ton corn is worth 30 cts. per
bushel. 1t is shipped in here. Oh, you

bad as it will be west Of us. We have
had no cold weather as yet, no snow at

The summer Boarder Move.

As may be seen elsewhere the Cen
ral Vermont Railroad proposes to take
an active part in helping to make YER
mont a summer resort for the denizens
ofour large cities. New Hampshire
bas been working on this line during
The last two or three years and appar-
emily with much success. We are slow
to acknowledge that the scenery of our
State is less attractive than that Of our
lister State. We have thousand and
one beautiful spots where those who
are invalid or weary in city homes can
come and take new lease OF life. We
hone to see summer visitors coming in
icores where hitherto they have come
srgly We need the money they viii
bring us, and we propose to give IN re-
iuru the worth Of all that we receive.
The issuing OF a pamphlet and the sys-
of the business will prove
yreat help to boarders as well as to
uch as desire to receive them. The
way to do thing is to 90 right along

ends to act on this plan.

FARMING PAYS IN VERMONT.
Result on one Abandoned Farm.

"You don't saymuch about the aban-
doned farms nowadays, " remarked a
farmer who lives less than 20 miles
from Brattleboro, while paying his sub {.
scription for the Phoenix yesterday. He
was told that since the Legislature kill
ed the Office of commissioner of agri-
cultural and manufacturing interests
there hadn't been much occasion for
referring to these farms. 81 have
sometimes thought, our farmer friend
continued, ''that would tell you my
experience" He then went on TO re-
late how three years ago he returned
from South Dakota, near Aberdeen,
bought an abandoned farm, and set
tied upon it, making a payment OF $50
toward his purchase. Since then he
has paid $500 toward the farm, made
repairs to the value of $500 on his
buildings, and now has stock worth
$3.50 all paid for, and during this time
his family, ranging in size from TO
10 persons have had comfortable liv-
ing. This man, like so many others,
went 10 Dakota with the idea of locat-
ing permanently and building up a
place for himself, but after struggling
along for three years he came to the
that Vt. was good enough
for him, and returned. He is now con-
tented and prosperous. The secret of
his success, II il be secret, is that he
has not paid out his money for help, but
with the assistance of his boy has done
all the work upon bis farm. Nothing
would tempt him to return to Dakota,
and he thinks that there are ia the
West hundreds of Vermonters who
would gladly return, but they either
have not the means, or are prevented
by false pride from coming back to
their native heath because financially
they are so much poorer than when
they left Vermont. Vermont is not
oaly good place to be born in. to 20
away from, and come back to, as has
been said, but all things considered, it
is the best State in the Union to live
in.

The Future of New England.

I
A recent number of the New Eng
land Magazine holds kind Of sympo
stun upon the subject we have placed
al the head of this article. Severa
prominent writer's and specialists are
the active participants. Their respec-
tive articles are full OF interest although
they contain nothing striking or brill
liant. They are mostly Massachusetts
men living in the vicinity Of Boston.
Ii is easy TO perceive that their opin-
ions are colored more or less by this
circumstance Ii is clear that they un-
derstand the past of New England quite
as well as the present, and perhaps a
little better, and as to whether they are
capable OF forming correct views OF the
future is clearly matter Of opinion
with those who know thern best. We
agree with them in some things. We
are sure that the New England Of the
future is not to be like the New Eng
land of the past We have no desire
to see the past restored as whole. 1t
always seemed to us as though the ear
" years Of our history were unpleasant
to dwell upon. There were mary ex-
celleut things in our past that we hope
viii find place il our future, but we
do not care for it all, and only small
part will come again. The race has
become mixed with other elements. 1t
is no longer pure. Customs and hab-
its have changed. The children are
not like the fathers. New ideas and
inventions have wrought changes that
cannot be wiped out. We have come
into experiences of which our fathers
never dreamed. Our children may
come into experiences that are utterly
foreign to our thought. The tendency
Of population in the New England of
the present is towards the cities. These
writer's seem to think that that viii be
he tendency in the future. As the re-
suit manufacturing industries will in
,rease. In short the future of New
England win be largely given to manu-
actures. But in the meantime manu-
actories are springing up in the west
md South. Every portion of the conn 1
nv is seeking manufacturing industries.

Increase in much greater ratio than

,nless an outlet can be found for man

must be growth in agriculture as well

,ppear in New England as well as the

n this light we are inclined to think

Galyeston,s Greeting.

GALVESTON, Ten. April lS.-The Presi
dent had a royal reception at Galveston
this afternoon and evening On arriving
military salute was fired, the city bells
were rung. and all the steamers and tugs
in the harbor whistled their loudest. The
CITY troops and Masonic and civil organi-
cations were present in force. The Presi
dent and party boarded the Mallory steam
ship, on which they made short trip on
the bay for the purpose of inspecting the
extensive harbor Improvements now IL
progress.
Retaining from the journey, Capt Joe
Owens, the Grand Marshal. took charge OF
the party and placed them in parade.
The G.. A. r. Post acted as a. committee
of escort TO the President, marching on
either side of his carriage bearing fora
embems and a Union Jack, which wher
seen on shore indicates the presence OF the
President of the United States.
The procession passed over beautifully
decorated route. The school children
threw their flowers at the Presidents feet
as they passed, and built small sized hill
in front of the stand.
