FARMING DOES PAY IN VERMONT.

Mr.. EDITOR II notice in the HERALD
of the Sth inst. statement that EARNS
in Vermont are worth only about fifty
cents on dollar as compared with eight
or ten years ago" This may be true OF
some parts of VT. but think not general
ly so. | know farms do not sell as readily
or nearly as high as twenty years ago, and
| know that there are great many more
farms to rent now than then, and it is
claimed that farming doesn't pay. Now
why is it that owners of farms ask such
enormous rents If farming does not pay?
have assisted in carrying on farms for
three years past at rent OF more than .
per cent on the valuation of farm and
stock, taxes included, and made a living
and something besides. We are asked to
explain why farming is not as profitable
now as ten years ago, when products OF
the farm are as high now as then. will
attempt to answer in my next.
The legislature has relieved Com. Valen-
tine of his Office yet think he commence
ed and has done good work. He has set
ball in motion that will not be stopped
very soon. If the Swedes do not come
and settle in Vermont others will, il YER
monteYs only do what thew ought to do.
predict real boom for Vermont in the
near future if it is but sufficiently adver-
tised, and when its resources are under
stood. Vermont has been considered
time believe it the best state in the un-
ion to emigrate to. Just read the reports
of the restitution and suffering OF the peo-
pie of many parts of the West. Many are
forced by starvation to leave their farms,
and others would II they had the means
to enable them to get away.
Now all we need to give Vermont gen
uine boom is to publish to the world an
exact statement OF its products and re.
sources. Statistics have shown hereto
fore more value of farm products sent to
the market from Vermont according to
the area and inhabitants, than from any
other state in the union. Vermont excels
all other states in the production of maple
sugar and is the peer of any in butter,
cheese, poultry, etc. Our horses, sheep
and cattle are sought after by other states.
Vermont furnishes very nearly two-thirds
of the annual supply OF marble used in
the United States. Its granite and slate
are shipped to all parts OF the country.
The boom for VT must be backed by
solid facts lest it become boomerang like
some OF the western and southerp booms.
Someone has said that there are plenty
OF democrats who would rather see Yer
mont bowling wilderness than filled up
with honest republicans. We must infer
from that, the Swedes are all republicans.
Now am democrat but prefer an hon.
est republican to a dishonest democrat.
An honest man is said to be the noblesi
work of God, and were the state filled
with honest republicans we would soon
have one more democratic state.

The marriage ceremony OF DIR. Lewis s.
Breed of Boston and Helen M. only daugh
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. S. Carroll was
celebrated at the Union church on Thurs
day last at ten O'Clock a. IN. The rite was
performed by Rev. s. H. Bushnell assisted
by Rev. w. $. Smithers and Rev. y >. Hub
bard. Archie Penney and Chas. Maynard
OF Pittsfield served as ushers and Mrs.Lu-
ella Eaton OF Boston, "a sister of the groom,
and Miss Anna Morse OF Royalton, as
bridesmaids. Mrs. f. p. Twitchell presid-
ed at the organ in very satisfactory man
ner. The Immediate friends of the bride
had prepared the church for the occasion.
The bridal arch, the marriage bell, and
emblems of various designs, with notices
of good luck, were beautifully arranged
with evergreen and flowers. Although
the day was one of incessant rain when
rubber coats, um brellas, and the like were
much needed articles, nearly every seat in
the church was filled; and one judging
from the appearance OF the crowd would
not have guessed the state OF the weather
for every face seemed beaming with sun
shine and delight. Some OF the intimate
friends and relatives OF the contracting
parties at once repaired TO the home OF the
bride where little reception was held ,and
refreshments served. Two poems handed
in by Rev. j. w. Hitchcock of Piusheld,
who was unable to be present, were read;
and one by James Stockwell of Rochester
The presents were numerous and many
OF them were valuable, and came from Tar
and near, proving that the newly married
pair have many true friends. Among the
gifts was check for S25 from Lucian
Blackmer of st. Louis, a former resident
OF this town. The bride and groom left
in time for the p. m. train at Bethel, for
their future home in Boston.

Poor Working Women.

In the Boston daily papers have late
iy appeared vivid statements by Rev.
Louis A. Banks of the condition of poor
women who sew for miserable living
in this city. 1t is match for anything
of the kind in darkest England or dark
est Africa. Every one feels that relief
should be found somewhere
On the same day that Mr.. Banks
first sermon on the subject was pub
lished had two letters. One was from
central Massachusetts,, from a farmers
wife who was suffering for lack of help.
With family of small children, thirty
or forty cows and endless housework
she could find no help.
Another letter came the same day
from eastern Massachusetts, with the
same piteous complaint of mo woman
to help" There were good homes in
both these places-large rooms, good
food, good air, good wages and physi-
cal comfort. This state of things exists
to large degree everywhere in country
towns.
Now, what is needed is bureau OF
information to bring the poorly paid
labor in crowded cities into comnuni-
cation with the need of labor in the
country. There would be small occa.
sion for the pitiful exhibit so faithfully
made by Mr.. Banks if those who want
work under good conditions could &c
where that kind OF work is wanted.

Good for Vermont Farming.

Those dismal people who are never
quite SO near to being happy as when
they are endeavoring to show that
New England is ''decaying" got some
very vigorous raps over the knuckles
from Congressman Powers of YER
mont in his address at the centennial
celebration of the town of Lyndon.
Mr.. Powers grafton was a striking
eulogium of Vermont. and it's past
and present glories. One of the
things he said will excite considerable
surprise even among native Vermont
ers. He showed from official Stats
tics covering the years from 1880 to
1890 that Vermont raises more corn
to the acre than any other state in
the Union, with one exception-and
that one EXCEPTIONS New Hampshire
Furthermore, Vermont raises more
wheat TO the acre than any other
state east of the Rocky Mountains:
more oats than any other state east
of the Rockies, except Illinois and
Minnesota; more rye to the acre than
any other, except Illinois, Minnesota
and Kansas, and more barley to the
acre than any other except Maryland.
California is the only state in the
Union that raises more buckwheat
to the acre than Vermont does, and
there is no state east of the Rockies
that raises as many potatoes per
acre as Vermont. Punctuated as
these facts were, in Congressman
Powers grafton, with the rather sar-
castle exortation, "Go west, young
man" they were exceedingly effective

Maintaining Of ThImbIss.

Dies of different sizes are used, into
which the metal, whether gold, silver
or steel, is pressed. The hole punch
ing, finishing, polishing and tempering
are done afterward. Celluloid and
rubber are nodded. The best thimbles
are made i'm France, where the process
Is more thorough.
The first step in the making Of .
Paris gold thimble Is the cutting into
a disk of the desired size n thin piece Of
sheet iron. This is brought 10 a red
heat, placed over a graduated hole In
an iron bench and hammered down
into it with a punch. This hole Is the
form Of the thimble. Tho iron takes
its shape and is removed from the hole.
The little indentations to keep the
needle from slipping are made in IL,
and all the other finishing strokes OF
the perfect thimble put on il. The iron
is then made into steel by a process pc
culiar to the French thimble maker,
and is tempered, polished and brought
to a deep blue color. A thin sheet of
gold is then pressed into the interior Of
the thimble and fastened there by q
mandril
Gold leaf is attached 20 the outside
by great pressure, the edges Of the leaf
being fitted in and held by small
grooves at the base of the thimble.
The article is then ready for use. The
gold will last for years. The steel
never wears out, and the gold can be
readily replaced at any time.-New
York Telegram.

Working Oxen for Beef.

On many Vermont farms most of
the work is still done by oxen. One
frequently sees a farmer with a yoke
of oxen and one horse hitched ahead.
Many of these oxen are high grade
Devons, not particularly heavy but
active, fast walkers and very intelli-
gent. Dehorning is not practiced
much in the New England states,
particularly with working oxen, as
the horns are needed in keeping the
big ox-yokes in place. They are cut
off at the ends, and little brass balls
are screwed on. There are hundreds
of just such oxen to be found on the
hill farms of New England In Maine
and parts of New Hampshire more
Herefords are used; they are heavier
than the Devons, with better necks
and shoulders, but not so active and
smart. These working oxen are
finally sold for beef. The farmers
claim that they make sweeter and
jucier beef than the lazy, pampered
animals, which do nothing but eat,
sleep and grow fat. These working
oxen show greater proportion of
lean meat. Does their exercise make
the beef tough and stringy? Who
can tell abont this? The famous
Roast Beef of Old England, which
has been made a theme for poets,
orators and statesmen, came in a
great measure from oxen which did
the farm work while they were grow
ing into beef. Nobody praises the
present beef as the old beef was
praised.-Rural New Yorker.
