Our American type is the most
thoroughly commercial and the
most thoroughly consistent Of all
types in the pursuit of wealth
No class here monopolizes land
holdings or social privileges.
Every man fails and is esteemed
a failure unless he can learn to
acquire a competency or to at
least conserve with increase
what he may inherit. And ln
commercial competition, with
freedom of opportunity, the
American type has become the
cleanest socially and the mos

LIE VILLAeE MEEIINo.

The annual meeting of the voters of
this village will be held at the town hall
on the afternoon of Wednesday, the 10th
inst. The warning has the usual articles,
and. in addition, the following:
To establish percentage as compensa-
tion for the collection of water and vii
lage taxes.
70 see if the village will take any ac-
ton relative to changing the pump house
to the opposite side of the river.
70 see if the village will ratify the ac-
ton of the trustees in drawing sewer
bonds Nos. s. . and 10 of $500 each.
No comment upon these seems to be
required, but it will not, perhaps, be
amiss to caution care in the choice of
trustees. One at least and probably
more of the present capable board will
decline to serve longer, and the voters
should see to it that the vacancies thus
caused are properly filled. The auditors
report. which is to be distributed today,
shows that it has cost the large sum of
SS2l9 to carry on the business of the vii
lage the,past year. Such AN amount can
not safely be entrusted to incompetent
persons to eXpend, and we trust the vot-
ers will have care that rome of thar sort
are elected.
Another thing demands attention, and
that is the building and care of our high
ways. The method now and for many
years in vogue is not one which a sep
Sible person would follow in the man
agement of his private business. Although
the whole of the considerable tax is eX-
pended each year, the roads are AT the
close of the year no better in the main
than they were a year previous. Every
storm carries of road material that has
cost the village many dollars, and in dry
weather our houses and places of busi-
ness are filled with dust. The present
plan is costly and productive of discom-
fort. and. worst of all its features, it re-
suits in no permanent Improvement. 1t
is reasonable to suppose that we can get
more good out of our highway tax than
we now obtain. just how that end shall be
attained the incoming officials ought to
be able to find out. At any rate it is
matter which will bear discussion and in
vestigation. This community is too old
and should be too wise to go on year af
ter year i'm this fashion.

A FORTUNATE DISCOVERY,
PROF. FARRAND SAID TO HAVE FOUND
A POSITIVE CURE FOR ASTHMA
AND HAY FEVER.

Among the few really eminent botan-
lists Of America. Prof. Farrand of YER
mont easily stands in the front rank and
a discovery that he has recently made
will do much to add to his fame. In his
Journeys TO different parts of the country
TO gather medicinal herbs. roots and
hdrks for the leading American and
European pharmacists. he has naturally
spent much time In the Adirondack
regions. that health-givng resort for
cOnsumptiveS. aSthmatiCs. and all Sut-
ferers from respiratory diseases. Here
hay fever is unknown. asthmatics
breathe freely, and even consumplves
conquer their racking cough in the brac-
ing forest air.
Prof. Farrand became impressed with
the idea that the herbs and leaves which
fiji the Adirondack air with aromatic
healing could be gathered by him and
sent to the homes of sufferers who can.
not afford the time or money to 90 away.
His great botanical knowledge and prac-
tical acquaintance with the medicinal
values of all plants peculiarly fitted him
for his task.
He found a happy combination that
gave the peculiar fragrance of the Adj
rOndack woods, and samples were sent
to various scientists and leading phys-
clans, the professor calling it the Adj
rondack Asthma Cure. Sevent y-three
per cent of the cases in which it was
used, some of them seemingly hopeless,
reported "A cure, while in all the others
great benefit was derived.
The different herbs and barks that are
used by Prof. Farrand in the Adirondack
asthma cure have TO be gathered at Ger
tain seasons of the year, when their med
icinal value is at its height, and he was
able to get but a limited amount. As
long as this quantity lasts. it is offered to
the public generally by the DR.. Howard
Co., Burlington. VT, who will mail Il
large sized box for fifty cents. They do not
want pay from those whom this prepara =
tion does not cure. and will return the
money to any whom the Adirondack
Asthma Cure fails to benefit. One of the
peculiar advantages of this cure. which
will make it seem a godsend to the asth-
matte or hay fever sufferer. is that the
user awalles as refreshed and bright in
the morning as if he had actually slept
in the invigorating air of the Adiron-
dacbs. Send fifty cents at once to the
DIR. Howard Co., burlington, VT. and
cure disease that so often brings the
sufferer near to deaths door, and yet
allows him to live to suffer again and
again.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Prof. Conn cf Wesleyan claims to
have discovered bacillus which, if pat
into cocoa, imparts the flavor of "June
butter" If the professor can back up
this claim, the little organism which is
thus brought to light will certainly
be very interesting to farmers, and in a
way offset such things as the gypsy
moth and The bacili of tuberculosis,
with which their notions of science have
lately been particularly connected.

Two years ago the State grange re-
solved that it wanted a labor bureau un-
der control of the State, and at the re-
cent meeting at MOrrisyllle reiterated
the same resolve. The question very
naturally arises, Why didn't the granger
legislature create such II bureau, if the
farmers wanted it? Haven't the farm-
ers of Vermont any influence with leg

THE OAIRYlNo BUSINESS.

About the only branch of farming
that put dollars into the purses of the
farmers hereabouts during the past year
was dairying. 1t gave returns in solid
cash. Those who followed it are en-
couraged to keep on, while Others will
go into it the coming season. The de-
mand for dairy stock is already active
and it promises to become much more so
as spring approaches. There is ten.
dency to revive the making of cheese,
which, it is claimed, is more profitable
than butter making. The claim is not
admitted, however, by the creamery
men, at any rate not by the most of
them.
But whichever line of dairying is fol-
lowed, those who are now in the busi-
ness and those who are about to go into
it will do well to exercise care in the
choice of stock to the end that they get
he best return possible in butter or

cheese for the expenditure of feed and
labor. This suggestion is not novel,
but 1t will bear repetition at this time.
1t costs as much to keep and to care for
an inferior animal as for good one, and
though the daily difference IN product
may be small, it amounts to no incon-
siderable sum in large herd during a
season. One of the prominent dairymen
of the county. man who has made
darying pay because he looks into the
details of the business, furnished us a
few years ago with figures that are of
present interest. They are as follows: {:
The income from 30 cows, each of which
yields 325 pounds of butter a year,
figuring butter a; 2l cents FOR the sea-
son, is S23l0. If each COW yields but
300 pounds. the income is reduced to
S2lG0; if but 200 pounds. to Sll40, and if
but $50 pounds, to Sl0l0.
The difference in income from herd
of 30 producing 300 pounds Of butter
each and herd capable of yielding only
200 pounds each is S720 difference
sufficiently great to warrant large out
lay for the better animals: for the loss
from poor cows. like the gain from good
ones, is not confined 20 a single season,
but goes on from year to year.

THE HORRIBLE DISCOVERY MADE IN A
BRIDPORT BARN.


The dead body of Walter Carrier of
Bridport was found i'm the barn of Edison
Blrchard, in the southeast part of Brid-
port, last Friday morning. He had been
dead for some time. Rats had eaten
away the eyes, ears, face and arms.
The barn is in IA dismal part of the
town known as 1.-THE swamp" and is IA
mile or more from any house. Mr.. Bir-
chard. who lives in Shoreham. sent his
man to the barn that morning for a load
of hay. The body was on the hay in the
upper part of the barn, but was so dis
figured as TO be unrecognizable. 1t was
identified by paper in the pocket of the
clothing. a watch, S3.7G in money and
other articles, including bottle of
liquor, were also found. Carrier was
about 30 years of age and we'll known in
Bridport, his native town. lie was
eccentric, but not vicious: nor was he Il
drinking man. and but little of the
liquor was gone from the bottle. He had
acted strangely for some time and is be-
lieved to have been somewhat deranged
There were no indications of violence.
The general belief is that he was frozen
to death. He was last seen about the
first wet k in December.
The BridpOrt authorities were at once
notified and took charge of the body.

was turned out from the company's
factory in Hartford during the present
week. a large number of crack racing
men of Connecticut had the pleasure Of
testing it and nothing but the most
favorable comment was heard regard
ing its beautiful lines, finish and speed

as the Model 40 with the exception OF
the crank shaft bracket, which is a
little lower than on the regular models.
The frame is of % gauge tubing, and
the machine is fitted with 17-inch re-
versatile handle bars, and weighs
about IS pounds complete with racing
tires. The company have already a
number Of orders booked for the racer
and expect to make shipments so that
