not many people to travel it except in

crowds at times, but they are soon away.
North Truro is railroad station, and the
place to go to reach the Highlands. Some
few houses are there, mostly fshermen's,

returning from the nets, he fell off the
back seat Of his dory, and it was sailing

swimming alone three miles from land.
By very great effort at swimming he
made out to get hold of his dory and get

1t has incidentally come to my
knowledge that you occasionally make
complaints because of the small sums
received for your Dairy skins. The
fault is your own, for if you would take
them off and properly care for them you
would rarely find a skin that would
bring you less than so cents, and a
great many of them would bring you
60, 10 and even SO cents each.
Poor skins, like poor butter, are poor
property and bring poor price. 1t
will cost you only penny for postal
card on which to send me your address,
to secure full printed directions as to the
proper method of taking off and caring
for your calf skins. l will very gladly
mail these to you free, postpaid, if yeu
will send me your name and SO request.
In most of the towns of Vermont
have buyers but in localities where I
have none would suggest that half
dozen farmers club together and ship
their skins in quantities of IS or more
in which case l will pay all freights after
delivery at R. R depot. cannot al
low you wholesale prices in towns where
l have buyer but where 1 have none I
will gladly arrange with any reliable
farmer who is willing to attend to the
matter of collecting skins taken off in
his vicinity, and in such case will of
course allow the buyers commission.
