started to burn, the pitch feeds tho
flame to such an extent that nothing can
save it. In the night forest fires are at
once beautiful and terrific. According
to law one must notify all Immediate
neighbors one day in advance, previous
to firing his tract, and this during tho
first four months of the year, but little
attention is paid to this.
In buying land price depends upon
whether the land has been fired. If so,
on basis of $50 per acre, the price is
$40, best where unburned. The mill
men depend upon boys to draw the logs
to mill, and it is surprising the logs the
little fellows will handle, They have
two-wheeled carts drawn by from four to
six oxen. The wheels have very wide
tire, and are some eight feet high, the
axle to which is supplied with a long
lever over the pole and wheel to which
is attached two chains and a pair of
tongs, like those used for ice. These
are hooked into the log, and with the
lever and chains, raised some II to 10
inches above ground, leaving the small
end of the log to drag, the front just
clearing the ground. Skids are not used
as with us, as the ground is level and all
logs loaded as above. Three logs make
heavy load, generally one is all the
poor oxen can handle through the sand.
One may wonder how anything can be
raised here, with no fences and cattle and
hogs running at large. 1t is a wonder,
and the grower has no redress. Instead
of saying: 'Shut up your cattle,' tho
owner of cattle would say: "Where is
your fence?" Orange groves are pro-
tected by wire fences as are what little
gardens that are planted. Semi-occa-
sionally one finds small farm fenced in,
but if so, it is referred to far and near.
In few years, probably, this state of
things will not exist, in fact many acres
have been fenced since we came, but by
Northern and western people.
Few breast collars are used even on
carriages, owing to heavy roads. Wag-
ons need greasing very often, owing to
sand getting inside the boxes, and wide
tire are used on all the wagons. A
thunder shower visited us few days
ago, and the rain simply fell out of the
clouds in sheets. One such downpour is
enough to satisfy H. T. EATON.

Daniel Webster contended that one of
the chief, if not the chief, purposes for
which the Revolutionary War was fought
and our independence won was to make
it possible to protect American industry
against the crushing competition of
British manufacturers. 1t is the irony
of fate that hundred years afterward it
should be deliberately proposed by men
who call themselves Americans to take
foreign commercial yoke again upon
our necks, after century of Protection

of the foremost manufacturing nation on

Vermont has the largest average wool
clip of any State. In 1890 il averaged
6.72 pounds per sheep. The next aver.
age was in New Hampshire, where sheep
averaged 5.S2 pounds per head in 1890
These high figures are the results of inn
proving the American Merino which will
now produce greater weight of secured
wool per hundred pounds of carcass than
any other sheep ever held. The Merino
sheep has in this country reached nearly
perfection as wool bearing animal, but
so many fullblooded rams have been
shipped to Australia by Vermont and
Western New York breeders that very fine
and even woods are now produced in that
quarter of the world. Some fine wool
sheep have been sent to South Africa,
but there the climate has now proved as
good for wool production as that of
Australia.
