A Big Load of Logs.

BALDWIN; Wis, Feb. %, 81.
News AND CITIZEN Il thought per-
haps YOU would like an item from
Wisconsin. Some two or three weeks
AGO | saw an item from Stowe in
your paper that H. Cleveland had
drawn load of logs into Pixies mill
ward of 100 feet. That is very good
for Vermont but out here in Baldwin,
Wis. saw a load come into the mill
ward that was drawn over six miles
by a four horse team that scaled
2O944 feet. 1t is a large story to tell
but we can send you photograph OF
the load if you doubt it. Herewith is
ii clipping from the Baldwin Bulletin
concerning the load.
Last week we gave an account OF
a load of logs hauled at Noodvllle
which scaled 15,461 feet. This was
a large load but it is a comparative
pigmy to the one hauled last Satur-
CAV which scaled 2O,944 feet. A
large number of people from this vii
lage visited the yard to see the load
and several photographs were taken.
To the inexperienced eye it looked
more like a skid-way than load OF
logs"
1t has been in most all the st. Paul
and Minneapolis papers.
Respectfully yours,

Our CONTINENTS GREAT PYRAMID.
A gigantic pyramid, the most in
teresting relics to the antiquarian on
the American continent, lies a few
miles to the west of Pueblo, old Mex
leo. The spot is easy of access, and
has been visited by every traveller OF
note, either American born or for
eign, who has interested himself in
the least in hoary antiquities 1t
rises suddenly from the plain and is
built of huge adobes, or large I'M
burned bricks Although mutilated
and overgrown with trees, the mas
sive base and four stories of the mas
sive structure are yet almost entire
Humboldt described it as a work of
such magnitude and vastness as,
next to the pyramids of Egypt, has
never before been seen in the world.
It's height is 172 feet, and the sides
of the base l ,355 feet, being 275 feet
lower than the great pyramid of
Cheops, and 627 feet longer. The
brick material is interpreted with
layers of stone and mortar, and the
four stories are connected with each
other by broad terraces. These are
assembled from bench to bench by reg
ular and oblique flights of steps,
which lead to a little chapel at the
top, which has been dedicated to the
Virgin of Remedies. In straighten-
ing out the road which leads from the
City of Mexico to Pueblo, it becomes
necessary to traverse a portion of
the base of this ancient monument.
On cutting down a section of the
base, an interior room built of stone
and rooted with beams of cypress
was laid bare. In it were found skel-
etons, idols of clay, stone and bronze,
and number of pottery vessels, curl

The Farmers Wood-Pile.

A Maine Farmer correspondent
has this vigorous, sensible and time
Iy article on the farmers wood sup
ply. The farmers wives will all say
amen to it.
"Tha long cold winter is upon US,
brother farmers, and are you pre-
pared for it? Have you an abund-
an>e Of good, dry hard wood, ham
dy and under cover to keep old Be-
reas at a distance? Or, are you al
ready beginning to burn green wood?
If you are burning green wood, let
this be your last winter that you
do it. 1t don't pay, in more ways
than one; it is poor economy. / am
sorry to say it, but with Il very few
exceptions it is due entirely to shift
lessness. / don't expect any one to
differ with me, but in case they do
| will cite a few reasons why one
should not burn green wood. First,
1T takes more green wood to heat
room of a certain size than it does Of
dry. Second, it burns out a stove
from three to five years quicker than
the same amount of fire from dry
wood. Third fire from green wood
requires constant attention or else it
is all out, the first thing you know.
You can put a dry stick of wood in
on a few Goals and in u moment
you have Il fire, while you must
keep your stove full of green wood all
the time, or else your fire is out
half the time. Another thing, green
wood keeps the women folks in Il
great fret all the time, and the
men folks in hot water, and they
ought to be kept there, too, if they
make their wives burn green wood.
4 had as lief have, if | wish to
burn it this winter, just for the
spending part alone, eight and one
half cords of dry, hard wood as ten
cords of the same in a green state.
Now what is gained by burning green
wood? Do you gain any time by it?
Do you get it any cheaper? You an
swPr No. to each of these ques-
tions. What then do you gain?
Nothing. Then why don't you plan
to cut your wood the season before
hand, and not dilly-dally along from
hand to mouth, or rather from the
chopping block to the stove all the
time. Some say cut it when the sap
is down, but | should say cut it
any time provided you cut it long
enough beforehand to have it well
dried before you wish to burn it.
1t will take no longer to cut 20 cords
in the woods now than it will next
year at this time, and if you cut it
and pile it in good shape now, bark
up, it will be in prime condition
next fall. 1t won't be more than two
thirds as heavy to haul then as it
is now, and that is quite an item if
your wood lot is some distance
from the house Some cut and put
into the wood-hOuse direct from
pile green, but | think it is worth
more piled in good shape and dried
out of doors. Wood, especially sec
ond growth wood, is quite apt to
doze and mould if put under cover of
a closed shed while vet in a green
state. Let's cut an extra ten cords
this winter and have it drying for
next year"

Christian EndeaVOr.

The Congregational church OF
and enthusiastic assembly last Fri
day as the young people of Lamoitle
County Christian EndeavOr Union
met to hold their third convention
with the societies of that place. The
cordiality which was manifested from
the first by the reception committee,
and the genial hospitality of the
Johnson people made all feel at home
and though a February storm ragged
without, evidences of Christian sym
pathy lent Il charm to all within. An
extra session was called Immediately
after the arrival of the morning
trains, and earnest words of welcome
spoken by the pastors Of the COngre-
gatiOnal and Baptist churches, after
which brief addresses were made by
Rev. Messrs. Fisk and Smith, urging
the convention onward to larger
things for the Master.
The Christian EndeavOr prayer
meeting, led by c. p. Jones of John
son, at the opening of the afternoon
session was an illustration of what
such meetings may be when Gin spirit
and in truth" The auditorium of
the church was nearly filled with the
hundred Christian Endeavor workers
and many visitors, as the reports of
the several societies We're given. One
new society had been formed since
the last meeting, and all showed an
increase in active membership. Miss
Edith Kingsley of Cambridge read an
excellent paper on individual Re
sponsibility,' making all feel the

future Rev. Mr.. Saunders of John
son made an earnest and eloquent
plea for Loyalty to the Pledge"
:" In the World, not of it, was the
subject of a paper very ably prepared
by Miss Lucia Smile of Waterville.
During the committee conference, led
by Mr.. Thomas of Jacksonville, the
working parts of society were help
July discussed, and Rev Mr. Fisk
skilful'y handled the contents of the
question box. At the close of the
afternoon session officers for the en-
suing year were elected: President,
W. A. Beebe; Presidents, c. p
Jones and c. F. Hulburd; Secretary,
Miss Lizzie Pearl; Treasurer Miss

ton. Rev. Mr. Aiken of Rutland
spoke of the debt woman owes to
Christianity, touching also upon the
reciprocal indebtedness of the Christ
ianity of to-day to woman's devo
ton. Rev Mr.. Wheelock portrayed
in a vivid and forcible manner the
