AGRICULTURAL.
Breeding Poverty.

That is what two-thirds of the farm
ers are doing here in the state of Yer
mont at the end of this boosted nine
teenth century of human progress. 1t
is a sad and pitiful thing that men will
persist in doing things which keep
them poor, keep them down, cause
them and their families to suffer. Let
us consider an example which came to
the notice of the writer few days ago.
In town not far from Montpelier
there lives young man whose father
began several years ago TO breed good
cows. He had no better opportunities
than others, but likes to have things
around him in good shape. The father
gave up his farm to the son and this
year the son reports that his figures
show that he has sold from his ten cows
$500 pounds of butter. That of course
is not now considered much of a yield
among advanced dairymen, but this
yield was being talked of by group of
farmers when one said, 8" sold only
1900 pounds from my ten cows" Now
that last man has been breeding pow
erjy. He has used q scrub bull and
scrub cows There was no need of it,
Probably twenty-five jersey bull calves
are killed in his Town every year. A
man with any gumption can get bull
calves from pure bred stock for from
one to five dollars, and from registered
stock for from en- to twenty-five del
lars.
We know a man who had no money
with which to buy foe stock, but who
was anxious to get into a good breed of
cows. He was on the lookout and
found an opportunity to buy or swap
and get Jersey heifer. He had to let
cow 60 for her and pay considerable
boot, but by dint of hard work, he paid
for her and then began 10 breed up a
herd. 1t takes patience and determi-
nation to succeed in breeding up from
such beginnings. He bred to the best
bulls in reach, worked along the lines
he marked out, and has kept pretty
much out of debt, supported large
family, and has been able to live very
comfortably in the hard times. A little
way from him lives man who had
some fine Jersey stock given to him by
friend, but he took no pains whatever
to breed up fine herd. he just used
the handiest bull, while the other man
would go miles and pay out several dol
lars to breed to registered bull. The
herd of the second man has degener-
ated into mere scrubs, and the man is
poverty stricken, deeply in debt with
no way to get out. He has bred pow
erty, while his neighbor has bred herd
that has yielded him and his family a
good living.

Publish the Tests.

Mr.. Curriers' advice to the creamery
men is to publish the results of the
tests of the herds of patrons. There is
nothing which opens mems eyes to
their folly in keeping poor stock as
does the comparing the record of their
cows with those of good herds. 1t is
true that you cannot tell all about a
cow or herd by the test, but it is the
most important part of cows record.
A herd that averages up to five per
cent or above must be better than one
averaging below four per cent. OF
course the weight of the milk must be
considered, and true test of COW or
herd includes the weight of the milk
as well as its quality. There are many
men 30 constituted that they need a
sort of shock to start them up to do
better. Some men get help from the
farm papers, the institutes, the dairy
mems meetings, but there are too
many who are not reached by these
means. But lei one of these unfortu-
nate farmers take his milk to the
creamery and find that he is getting
fifty or one hundred or more pounds
less of butter than his more enterpris-
ing .neighbOr, per COW in year, and
it will set him to thinking. 1t does
not cost much more to keep the $50 or
300 pound cow than it does the $50
pound animal. 1t is sad but true that
many a farmer is his own worst enemy
The clinging to old ways, the dislike of
change, the settling down in the old
ruts and clinging to them, the reject
ing Of good practical advice, these
things stand right in the way of pros
perity. Somehow farming in many
cases seems to beget state of mind
which delights in clinging to old ways.
Farmers are afraid of innovations. Let
a man start out in new line of pro-
cedure and they look askance at him.
OF course conservatism is not confined
to farmers, and it is good thing in its
place, but when it stands between
poor man and prosperity, it is great
evil.
But this testing business is an excel
lent eye opener. Not only should every
man know what his own and his neigh
boris herds are doing, but he should
test or have tested each in bis herd.
Then he knows what he is doing or
not doing. When man finds that his
neighbor is making from ten to thirty
dollars per COW more than he is, it slirs
him up good deal; and when he finds
that some on many Of his COWS are &C
tually running him in debt, he begins
to find out why he is so poor. There
are great many COWS in Vermont

THE art of dentistry was practiced

The art of dentistry was practiced
among the Egyptians and Etruscans,
and there are evidences in mummies
and skulls that in very ancient times
teeth were filed and efforts were made
to supply the loss of natural by artifi-
cial teeth. The first writer on the
treatment of diseased teeth was Galen.
The science was introduced into Amer
lea by John Greenwood, who estab
lished himself in New York in 1888.
In 1890, and again in 1895, he carved
in ivory an entire set of teeth for Gen.
eral Washington.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh, being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so

Citizens Attention.

These are days Of considerable
anxiety and perplexity to all who
have possessions or other interests
In the Republic of Hawaii, and it
is time that our citizens came to
mutual understanding on several
important issues. The prospects
for Annexation appear at present
vague and indistinct, and our
destiny cannot be foretold with
certainty. There are those, also,
who still fondly cling to the hope
of a return to the old order of
things, and who cannot be per-
suaded otherwise, yet this out
look appears far more hazy than
that of Annexation even to the
most hopeful disciples of the
Monarchy. But, fortunately, in
The midst of all this uncertainty
there is solace in the fact that
Buffalo Beer has came to stay and
that patrons of all sorts and
opinions may equally share the
benefits of its invigorating and
sustaining properties. We are
moreover assured that this favorite
brew will continue to be dispens-
ed as heretofore at the Royal,
Pacific and Cosmopolitan Sa-
looms,
