The agricultural exhibit was so good that

was simply immense. When we compared
the implements of our grandfathers with
our modern farm implements it gave us
pride to think what our forefathers did
with what they had to combat, and with
the opportunities which they had. Agri-
cultural tools are the latest of all improved
machinery and the acres and acres of such
machinery at the Worlds Fair presented
the most wonderful sight the world has
ever seen. In that building Vermont's
products were seen and her fruits and veg
etables, which eXcelled those of California,
carried off seventeen prizes. The combin-
ed exhibits of three of the largest tool
manufacturing firms took five awards,
while the Vermont exhibit, away in one
little corner, carried off thirteen. 1t was
a greater school for the old countries, how
ever, as we Americans never allow our
selves to become amazed at anything.

The farmer must raise more on the same
amount of land, for a small per cent is
some times the difference between success
and failure. 1t is the little things that
make the difference, and the way to learn
this is for the farmer to attend these agri-
cultural meetings, talk over these things
and advise together. Do it now, today /;
that's what the board are here for. They

AN OLD STORY RECALLED.


n Mother Pertshcd to save Her Child.
There IS a story told of a father and
mother and infant child who were cross
ing the mountains i'm Vermont. A terrible
storm came on and they lost their way
The husband left the wife and child to
seek for house. He was unable to find
his way back because of the darkness and
the storm. At length the morning came
and the storm had subsidized The sun
rose brightly above the earth The neigh
bOrs, with the anxious husband, renewed
the search. Toward noon the body of the
mother was found cold in death, partly
covered over with snow that had fallen
during the night, but wonderful to tell the
child was alive. The mother had taken
the mantle from her shoulders and wrap
ped it about her babe to protect it from
the storm and thus sacrificed her own life
to save the child.
The story is quoted from a western
publication sent to the writer and it was
recognized as a Windham county incident
which happened in December 1921, the
family being known to persons living in
Dummerston. In an old school book call
ed the introduction to the national read
er, published, we conclude by the title
page, in BrattlebOro in 1892, the same
story reads as follows: "In the month Of
December, 1921, a Mr.. Blake, with his
wife and infant, was passing over the
Green mountains near the town of Airing
ton, VT, in a sleigh with one horse. The
drifting snow rendered it impossible for
the horse to proceed. Mr. Blake set off
on foot in search of assistance AMI persisted
in the storm, before he could reach a
human yelling. The mother alarmed las
is supposed) At his long absence, went in
quest of him with the infant in her arms.
She was found in the morning, dead a
short distance from the sleigh. The child
was wrapped in her cloak, and survived
the perils of the cold and storm" Then
follow four stanzas of poetry narrating the
incident from which the western periodi-
cal quoted these lines:
"She stripped her mantle from her breast
And barred her bosom 10 the storm.
And round the child she wrapped her vest.
And smiled to think hrr bior was warm
The Mr.. Blake named in the school
reader story did not perish, as therein
stated. He survived the storm bI, had
his feet badly frozen. His full name was
Thomas Blake and he resided in Marlboro,
Vt. His Hife's maiden name was Goodell.
The child was a daughter and when grown
to womanhood, married Ezra Dean of
Marlboro. Mr.. Blake worked at trade
and is remembered 10y persons whom we
have interviewed, as Tinker Blake He
was returning with his family from Airing
ton and had passed through Somerset or
StrattOn when the storm stopped further
progress. The party, with the remains OF
Mrs. Blake, called at Townships hotel on
Newfaur hill on the way home to Mari
bOrD. Her sister, Restic GoOdell who was
at work in the family of John kenney on
Newtane hill, went with another woman,
Miss Hannah Fisher. over 10 the hotel To
see her dead sister. Mis-, Fisher brcam
the wife of the late Dr. Isaac Burnett and
was a sister of Mrs. X. p. Pratt of DUN

GOV. FuIIer's Remarks.

Gov. Fuller was present at the afternoon
session and spoke partially as follows;
have been in attendance at the old soldiers
encampment at Burlington, and came from
there directly here, where find the sword
beaten into plOwshare. Farmers are the
bread winners of the land; they are the
home-keepers of the nation, and every
farmer should stick to his task as a minis
ter sticks TO his text. 1t is delightful to
mingle with the farmers, such hale and
hearty, wholesouled fellows. AS we rub up
against each other at times through life
we sometime think we know more than
some one else, and some one else more
than we. Now in these farmers meetings
we have a chance to show how much we
know and should not miss the opportunity.
If you think these men are wrong, challenge
and dispute them; bring out what they do
know; see who is right. Things are soon
to be different in all branches of industry,
and we must figure them out and adapt
ourselves to the new conditions, so if there
is any enjoyment in it we may enjoy it to
the full extent of our intelligence .=zz

Intensive Farming.

In the afternoon j. O. Sanford OF Siam
ford said of "Intensiye farming We
will consider two kinds of farming-eNten-
sve and intensive farming. The first re-
quires a great deal of land, and was prac-
ticed in Vermont from 10 to 80 years ago,
and is still largely practiced in the West,
but it's the kind that saps the fertility
from the soil. 1t requires no great skill.
Any ordinary man can farm in this way,
but change will come over our vast prai-
ries as here. 1t will be gradual, as all
changes are gradual. The change has
taken place in Vermont, and wise is the
man who adapts himself to the situation.
In extensive farming the fertility of the
soil is soon Slapped and is sent out of the
state in the way of wheat, brans, etc. In
intensive farming we must put more fer
tility into the soil or put back that which
has been wasted and sent away. The old
time farmer knew nothing about books or
book farming. This has changed, and to-
day a farmer must be a chemist, a hor-
ticulturist, an agriculturst, etc; must
study the soil and know how to build up
his land. He must be a business man and
conduct his farming on business princi-
Piles,
Waste nothing on the farm. Return all

soil Have some particular brand of farm
ing, Intensive farming requires less land
and is less expensive. Get your land ready
in the fall. Put your corn in a Silo, as the
feeding value of such corn per acre is equal
to that of from five to seven tons of ordi-
nary hay, Hay and corn are not a perfect
feed for cattle, for they lack in protein,
which must be supplied. This is done in
the northern part of the state by feeding
peas, 40 or 30 bushels of which per acre i,
a good yield, Also by waste products OF
factories, such as cottonseed meal. Al
such products are worth nearly all they
cost for fertility. Head work as well as
bone and muscle is necessary in order to
carry on successful farming.
