II the people of Vermont never be
fore had occasion TO look upon them
selves as the most fortunate of NOrtl
Americans, they have that felicity
now. In hardly any other section, il
in any, of the country is there so littl,
reason to fear the ''hard times" II,
here. Indeed, the hardness Of the
times is felt, and felt strongly, pretty
much everywhere else than here. 4
few towns OF Vermont suffer some
what from the depression Of special
lines of business in which they are en-
gagged. but, in the main, we escape the
hardships that come TO communities
in which manufacturing is the princi-
pal employment Of the people. Here
in Addison county, we are particular
lv fortunate in at least two respects.
To begin with, we have few mnnufac-
turing industries to be depressed: and.
secondly, our leading business, agri-
culture, is enjoying something Of a
boom. Crops are seldom larger or Of
better quality than this year, and
prices are high-unusually so. Per-
haps the Western agriculturalists will
not be so formidable competitors of
their Eastern brethren as they have
been, now that they cannot get East
ern money as readily as theyS oi,se
could: at any rate, Eastern farmers are
getting full value for their products in
this year of grace. On the other hand,
almost all articles they buy are ex-
traordinarily cheap-labor, perhaps,
excepted. Everything considered, we

Best Cheese G ow.

49, N>llSSSS NV
The Dairy Editor of. 0ranga.,Judd
Farmers, in reply to aninquirysays she
would take the Holstein and feed her
well. This is saying nothing against
any other breed. in fact we can picture
special conditions where we should
not change to the Holstein if we al
ready had . herd Of excellent butter
cows. But suppose we have herd
OF Jerseys giving 5 per cent milk. The
ordinary cheese maker will run too
much OF this fat into the whey vat !.
TO save it the patrons will be under
heavy pressure to have it partly skim
med, and like telling your hired man
to drink whisky every day, but not
let the habit get the better.
OF him is, the habit of Swimming
milk for cheese-making. Then AGAIN..
the Holstein is already we'll developed
as great milk producer. AS to steer
calves, A. H. don't intend to raise
steer calves on whey, as business.
so he will work for milk production in
big, paying quantities. The dairying
that needs crutches is poor dairying;
the dairyman who "needs steer calves
to make his business pay" can't keep
pace with the fellow who walks with
out them. Then for cheese-and with
out saying aught against any other
breed-we can recommend pure bred
Holstelns, and the grades from best
common COWS and frst-class Hols-
tein male and think they will fill the
bill nicely.

How to Cure Hams.

Many hams, like cider vinegar, are
spoiled in the curing. A good brine
may be made as follows: Five pounds
OF sugar to 200 pounds OF meat, one
ounce of saltpette to 20 pounds of
meat, one ounce of..salt to every pound
OF meat, and water to cover all the
hams packed in this brine. It should
be understood that the lower the
temperature the longer it takes to
cure them and in very cold winters the
temperature in the cellars for ordin-
airy pork-curing is so low that consid-
cradle time is required.
After the hams have been we'll brin-
ed they must be smoked for three
days, and if on cuttingit is found that
the pickle has not reached all the way
through them, the brine can be boiled
over and skinned. Pack the hams
away in temperature of about 400.
They should then be returned to the
smoke house for day after the brine
has dried off. A bitter taste will be
given to them if hung in the smoke
house wet with the brine. To give the
rich brown color so we'll known in

Farm Notes.

If you want eggs give your fowls
plenty of good, wholesome food. Sue
cessfu] poultrymen place much more
reliance in that than in patent egg
producing compounds.
If raising fowls for meat instead OF
eggs, you want the large breeds and
those that grow rapidly. These will
require lots of food, but they will use
it to good advantage.
Too much heat. In an incubator is
just as bad as too little. It should be
kept steady at lO3 degrees. Practice
maintaining an even temperature be-
fore you put the eggs in.
To learn any trade thoroughly re-
quires study as we'll as practice

ORIGIN Of a SLANG PHRASE

I>/nASSAAS ~ - - A-<AESASt 49,
ITO Eat Crow, Originated on
Manhatten Island Many Years
The origin Of the exposition ito eat
crow caused dispute in a New York,
clubhouse one evening, and one white-
headed old politician subsequently,
accounted for it in this way to a Trib-
une reporter: 5..
Years ago." he said, "a soldier
stationed on Governors Island wan
dered up into the city and out upon
the pasture lands just north OF
Chambres street - have some fun.
There he spied crow hopping about
among the cows, and he instantly
aimed his gun at it and shot it dead.
As he did so ragged little boy, who
had been watching him dashed off
with a wild yell in the direction OF a
distant house. The soldier laughed
at what he thought to be the boys
terror at the report OF the gun and
laying it down carefully at the root
of the tree he went to pick up the
crow. After that something else at
tracted his attention and he did not
think OF his gun again till he heard an
angry voice behind him and turning
round, found himself gazing straight
down the barrel. A furious Dutch
man was at the other end of the gun
The soldier had shot the Dutchman's
pet crow, the boy had borne testimony
to the deed and now for the penalty.
"Sparing you recital of the heat
ed conversation which followed, the
result was the Dutchman spared the
soldiers life only on condition that
| he would straightway eat the crow he
had shot. The soldier argued vehem-
entity, but to no purpose. He finally
secured permission to pluck the crow
and cook it little over q fire made:
with. q few chips. Then he began to.
eat, but before he had eaten more!
| than half of the carrion bird he be-
came so sick that he swore he would
rather be shot than finish it. The!
Dutchman's wrath seemed to he APP
peased by this time, however, and
he restored the soldier his gun and
babe him BECOME. The soldier took
the gun, but instead of begoneing he
instantly took aim at the Dutch:
mans head and vowed to bow his
brains out if he did not at once eat
the other half of the crow. The
Dutchmau was compelled by fear of
| death to swallow the rest OF the
loathsome flesh, and then the SOL
der departed, leaving the injured
Dutchman ready to burst with rage
and chagrin. The latter swore VEN
geance, and the next day appeared on
Governors Island and made COM
plant to the commandant that one
OF the soldiers had wantonly shot his
tame crow. The commandant told
the Dutchman to pick out the offend
er and he should be punished. The
Dutchmah pointed to Ia soldier not
far away and identified him.
"Calling the soldier to him, the,com-
manding officer said, sternly, Did you
ever see this man before?" pointing to
the Dutchman. "g0
eyes, sir replied the soldier, with
a laugh in his eye, I dined with him
yesterday -,
'"This answer so amused the Dutch
man, besides reminding him of how all
his friends would laugh at him should
the story get out, that he refused to
push the complaint against the
soldier, and TO eat crow meaning to
suffer anything notifying or humili-
ating, passed into aproverb from that
