GEORGE LYNDE,

two and one-half miles northwest of
the village. Neither Mr.. nor Mrs.
Lynde were at home, but, by plying
the intelligent help, much desirable
information was gained. There are
400 acres in this farm, with stock
of fifty cows and eleven horses. Mr..
Lynde has all the modern farm imple-
ments, among which are a reaper and
binder. He has thirty acres of as good
corn as ever grew, which is designed
to fill the three silos on the place. Hap
pening TO be there at milking time,

as good an arrangement as one could

is the well-known Paine place, where
for many years Judge and ex-Govern-
or Paine lived and played so impor-
tant part in the early history of the
town and section. The farm has been
in the hands of the Clogston Brothers
for fifteen years and has been thor
oughly renovated and cleaned up. A
look at the well-kept farm buildings
and surroundings indicates prosper
Gus condition of farm and occupants.
In front of the house is fine grove of
NAPLES. The brothers cordially well
coined the Waterman representative
and kindly showed their place and
equipments. The milk room was the
first place visited, and il would be
hard to find its equal. Built new
this summer, with view TO conven-
fence, hardwood floor and white
ceiling. one instinctively looks to his
shoes to see if the .'dust of travel is
likely to contaminate the immacu-
late cleanness within the room. The

pounds of milk per hour, and bar

of the Barre railroad runs along the
edge OF the quarry. The firm have
sheds in Barre where they finish most
of their stock. They recently shipped
a $4,000 monument to Washington, ID.

to be the most elaborate monument

WILLIAMSBURG GRANITE COMPANY.
A few rods to the east is the quarry
of the Williamstown Granite Go.
G. L. Thompson has leased it for a
term of years and, until the present
stringency, has done pushing bust

not so extensive as the one previously
visited, the stock appears equally good,
and, said Mr. Thompson, ''If Congress

JONES BROTHERS,

one of the largest firms on the hill.
The genial foreman, G.. T.. Williams,
kindly answered the many questions
of the reporter. The firm is prosper
Gus, the ''hard times" not affecting
them much. They employ thirty-tive
to forty men at the quarry. The
stock is dark and can be quarried in
almost any dimension. A side track
of the Barre railroad runs into the
lower side of the quarry. The output
is from three to five car loads per day.
Three large derricks are used, one of
which, a new one, has lifting capac-
ity Of forty-five tons. These are oper-
ated by powerful engine. The COM
pany's sheds are at Barre, where most
of their stock is finished.

THE SCENERY.

This screed would be incomplete
without mentioning the scenery, in
which, as in many other things, the
town surpasses all its neighbors. Two
miles south of the village is Cutters
Pond, a pretty sheet of water cover
ing several acres. Fish of many kinds
inhabit its waters, and are from time
to time enticed from the crystal depths
A few rods south of the pond is a brook,
in the midst of which is huge boulder
which divides its waters, part flow
ing into the pond and eventually into
Lake Champlain, and part flowing
south into the Connecticut river.

scYrHEsroNE LEpGEs.

After a nights rest under the pa
ternal roof, the newspaper man again
mounted his wheel, this time to look
after the farming interests in town.
BY the way, Williamstown is one of
the best farming towns in Central
Vermont. BY easy stages, with alter
nate riding and walking, the height
of land between Williamstown and
Mortified was reached. Right here
is the domicile of Charles Davenport,
who, in reply to the query, ''Any-
thing of INTEREST,"" said, II have the
best milestone ledge in Vermont. y
This assertion at once aroused the
interest OF the reporter, and, in
company with Charles, the lodges
in question were visited. One ledge
belongs to Whitney Brothers and has
been worked some by individuals.
The other, apparently of better tex
ture and grit, is on the land of Mr..
Davenport. 1t appears in vein one
and one-half feet thick and extends as
far as the ledge is visible-eighty rods
or more. Parties who are experts in
the milestone business say it is of SUI
peI'ior quality and that grindstones
can easily be quarried. Why do
not some men hereabouts, who have
money to invest, look about them and,
instead of sending their money West,
with uncertain security, invest it at
home and develop home industries?
Here is II chance, only three miles from
the railroad in Williamstown or seven
miles from Mortified, with good roads
in either direction. Mr.. Davenport
has specimens which he will gladly
distribute. After noontide meal at
G. j. Grams hospitable board, the re-
porter wheeled away and was soon at

The Use OF POultlces.

Physicians are often surprised at the
ignorance of patients concerning the
use of poultices. The trouble arises
from a wrong idea as to the curative
action of n poultice.
In general, poultices are primarily
localizers of inflammation they act
by softening and stimulating the tis-
sues with which they are brought di.
rectly in contact. The fact that their
value lies in the amount of heat and
moisture which they radiate to these
tissues, is the reason, probably, for
the application by the laity in every
case where heat and moisture may
happen to be indicated as necessary.
Take, for example, two cases--a
poisoned wound and finger swollen
by muscular strain. 1t is manifest
that these two cases are not parallel,
though in both the application of heat
is indicated as remedy.
In the case OF the poisoned wound,-
we have the presence of a foreign sub.
stance in the tissues. This sets up q
local information, which by means Of
the circulation tends 20 spsead and be-
come general. We place poultice
over the affected part, and Immediate
ly the application Of the heat brings
to it fresh supply of blood contain
ing numerous leucocytes-white cor.
puscles-whose business it is to make
war upon all foreign matter with which
they may come in contact, and pus is
formed. This finds proper means of
escape through the softened tissues
under the poultice and with it comes
the poison.
In the case of the swollen finger, on
the other hand, we have u simple irri-
tation, and what we need in the way
of treatment is just enough heat to
draw n renewed supply of blood to the
weakened part for its nourishment,
But We do not wish, MS in the first case,
TO confinc the heat long enough to
stimulate the leucocytes to activity, as
in that event we should only have
made bad matter worse, with an alb
cess TO take care OF.
The desired result may bc obtained
by simply plunging the finger into wa
ter rs hot as can be borne for short
time, or by rubbing on stimulating
liniment.
The moral Of all this is that wo are
TO use poultices only where wo wish
to localize Inflammation. In sprains
and the like proper stimulation is oil
that is required. Youths Companion.

Valuable Woods of Argentine.

While the upper provinces and terri
tories of the Argentine Republic are
an almost unbroken forest of primeval
proportions, in which are to be found
hundreds of kinds of hard woods sus-
ceptible OF the very finest polish and
presenting the most exquisite color
ings, yet the country is almost devoid
of the soft woods of commerce. There
are pines both in Misiones and along
the Cordilleras OF Patagonia, but they
are quite inaccessible to market and
there are also immense cedar forests,
which are just now beginning to be ex-
plotted. At present, however, the only
woods which reach Buenos Ayres, or
are shipped abroad are the hard woods
OF the Gran Chaco. Owing to their
specific gravity it is impossible to float
the logs down the Parana River; but
they are brought down in chatas, or
Hat bottomed boats, or are loaded from
the banks directly in sailing vessels
bound to European ports. There is a
growing demand for them both in
German and French manufacturing
centers, where they are used for cabinet
work or are sawed into ornamental
yeneering. American Agriculturist.
