BOARD OE AGRICULTURE.
Farmers' Institute at East CorInth-Ver
mont and Summer Visitor

mont and Summer Visit ors.
A farmers institute was held at East
Corinth, in Orange county, on Tuesday and
w ednesday of last " eek, under the auspices
Of the State Board of Agriculture. Hon.
George NJ Dearborn was made chairman
and welcomed the board.
Tuesday evening was given up to Yer
mont, one of the speakers being Mr.. Henry
M. Arms Of Springfield, member of the
board. Mr.. Arms spoke Of "Vermont as a
summer home" He said that the Almighty
had from the first creation of life been grad
ing it up through the lower forms to man,
but that Zenith was attained when He
formed woman, and woman was most wom-
anly when mother in her home surround
ed by her children. Tender recolections
ought to twino about the thoughts of home
and mother, be they what and where they
may But If that home be nestled among
Vermont's green hills and that mother one
of the dear old States daughters recraent
indeed would be the son who failed to love
and venerate them.
What is 1t that makes our Vermont homes
so pleasant? The home and home comforts
OF winter help as to appreciate the summer
homes of Vermont. There Is no place on
earth believe SO beautiful as our State.
Grandeur in the extreme it does not possess,
but such scenes lack beauty, and the soft
loveliness Of our scenery makes up for what
it may lack in grandeur. What do these
homes do for us E? They make Vermonters
what they are men to tie to and swear by.
We are vastly indebted for what is good in
our makeup to the harmonious and neigh
borly feelings that pervade the State, and
to the old Purtanc habits and ideas which
still liuger in our midst, making our lives
conservative and trustworthy, traits more
valuable than riches.
Having these lovely summer homes, this
beautiful scenery and sturdy, intelligent
people, shall we keep to ourselves or invite
the world to come and see us? l believe in
the summer boarler, the city boarder. 1t
has been New Hempshire's most profitable
crop, and believe that with little judi
| cious cultivation it may become even more
than it is already monoy crop for our
own State. The borders Of Champlain and
of the Connecticut are fast attracting
visitors, and we should do al in our power
to urge others TO come. Do not fear about
| entertaining them. Give them plenty to
eat OF good wholesome food and they will
entertain themselves. Open your doors and
see them flock in. There wore to my own
knowledge many who desired to make this
State their vacation homo last sum mer who
were unable to do so from lack of accommo-
dalton.
Not only as summer or winter home,
but as an all the year round home | believe
in Vermont. There is, think, more money
to be made from good Vermont farm. to-
day than anywhere else in proportion to the
original investment This is the time of

The medicine you take into your system

Indians don't have Dyspepsia, yet they

Indians don't have Malaria, yet they
sleep out of doors, exposed to night air,
live in damp places, and frequent changes
are quite common to their mode OF life.
Yet both these ailments and many others

BENNINGTON, Feb. 5-The Kirmess held

These costumes cost upwards of $1,000
