Joel II. Holton has disposed of his
hardware business and the Holton Hard
ware company, stock company, with a
capital of $4,000, composed of j. ii. Holton
and r. S. Barstow of this city. together
with C. p. Van Vliet. c. NJ Russell and
H. w. Tracy of Shelburne. The first two
gentlemen named have been connected
with the business for many years and the
last three are wealthy and successful
merchants, who will put capital and ex-
perlence into the new enterprise.
The officers OF the company are c. p.
Van Vliet, president; c. M. Russell vice
president Joel II. Holton, treasurer; r,
S. Barstow, secretary.
Mr.. Van Vliet will spend practically all
of his time here In Burlington but Mr..
Russell and Mr.. Tracy will give most of
their attention to their business at Shell

The most striking personality in Chicago
and the oldest real estate dealer, Is Mr.. l..
A. Gilbert. Mr.. Gilbert is now over 60
years of age; In the 5Cs he was in the
Rockies gold hunting. Since 1868 he has
handled more property in Chicago, and is
known to more home-owners than any
other man in the business.
Mr.. Gilbert at one time suffered from rheu
matism and sleeplessness. He made trips
TO Hot Springs, and tried other methods
of treatment without avail. To satisfy q
friend who had taken Paine's celery COM
pound for similar troubles. ana knew
what 1t could do, Mr.. Gilbert tried 1t, and
but very short time elapsed before he
was entirely freed from both these trout
bles. Mr.. Gilbert himself says:
Gentlemen-I have suffered with rheu-
matism and sleeplessness for years caused
by exposure while prospecting in the
mountains years ago. For years had to
take electric bath massage and take trips

UNIVERSITY NOTES.
Lecture by Presidsn Buohhsn - the Isis
Of JaraAx ana ifa Raaala "


President Buckham gave his lecture on
the Isle OF Jersey, the Home OF Jsrssy
Cattle Friday In the Billings Library
before the Dairy school, several members
OF the faculty, students and friends. The
frst part Of the lecture was made Up of
vivid description of the island and moth
obs of cultivation, and customs Of the in
habitants.
President Buckham said that the farms
were small averaging from Ave to ten
acres In size, the largest farms containing
about 80 acres. The land yields two and
three crops each year Of wheat. potatoes
and turnips, which comprise the chief
productions. Potatoes are especially
profitable and It Is stated that $4,000 net
has been realized from 30 acres. The
island yields 100000 worth Of potatoes in
one year. Fruits are also produced In
large quantities. Odd customs prevail in
granting rights to land Most Of the peo-
pie cling largely to the old ways, but are
progressive, Industrial, thrifty, well-to-do
and apparently religious. The island IL
especially noted for Its support of churches
and schools. The fact that 10000 people
prosper on en- area of 10000 acres indicates
the fertility Of the soil and the capability
Of the people. Jersey Is practically q gar
Den in the suburbs Of London. Fifteen
acres of this soil will keep 10 cows.
1t was in these surroundings that the
COW in Jersey Is much transformed In
America, where tenderness toward them
Is often changed to harshness. Importa-
lions of other breeds of cattle Is forbidden
there. 1t is claimed by the inhabitants
that the cattle are free from tuberculosis.
The individual records Of the native Jer-
sey cattle do not exceed those of the
American breed, but the average is great
err. A very vivid and instructive descrip-
ton of the COW was given.
The latter part of the lecture was de-
voted to a display OF views by Mr.. Rob-
bins. 'es, upon which President Buckham
made remarks Of explanation. The views
| consisted of landscapes houses, churches,
lanes and famous cattle.
