No Quarter for Rum Sellers.

States Attorney c. H. Robb, is not sat
istied with the form of writ prescribed by
statute for the g search and seizure" OF
Intoxicating liquor, and has compiled
of the law. The form given in section
1851 of the statutes provides that where
premises are searched and liquors seized,
the g owner or keeper" of the liquor seized
shall be :. summoned" to appear before the
Justice named in the writ. Mr. Robb says
This leaves plenty OF time for the vio!ato1
of the law to skip the state if he does moi
see fit to obey the summons.
Section AGO of the statutes provide!
in cases of search and seizure that "th'
officers shall apprehend and bring forth
with before the Judge or justice the owne'
and keeper and all persons having the Gus
tody OF or exercising any control owe
the liquor seized either as principal, clerk
agent, or servant Mr.. Robb thinks tn
form prescribed by the statute is lame in
as-much as it does not command the raid
ing officers to apprehend and bring befor'
the Justice at once all persons connected
with the illegal traffic instead of summon
ing them to appear at some future day
He believes that the best time to deal witt
violator of the law is when the office
has his hands upon him. The new war
rant is regular drag net, and will bring
all in any way connected with the sale O
handling OF the liquor before the justice
issuing the warrant when bond for appear
ance at hearing can be agreed upon.

Ecclesiastical Council.

An ecclesiastical council convened at the
Congregational church in Walpole Tues
day afternoon, February 2, for the consid-
Grafton OF the resignation of the pastor,
Rev. G. I. Bard, who for about eight years
past has acceptably filled the pulpit there.
Rev. j. L. Fullerton Of Bellows Falls was
chosen moderator, Rev. j. S. Colby of
Marlboro, scribe. After prayer by the
moderator the records Of the church as to
the business in hand were read by the clerk,
Dea. w. G. Barnett Oral statements
were also made in answer to questions by
both pastor and clerk. The council being
by itself the following finding was unani-
mously adopted:
That the council agree with the pastor
and church in severing their formal rela-
tons but in view of all the conditions exist
ing, we recommend to both the principal
parties concerned, that the separation dc
not take full effect until the first of April
instead of the first of March, which was the
time designated in the pastors letter.
Whereas, Rev. G. 7. Bard has resigned his
pastorate of Che Congregational church in
Walpole, we, the council in session, dc
heartily recommend him to our churches as 9
| man highly esteemed by all who know him
! for his pure and noble Christian character
his wide and ripe scholarship, an earnest, dis
eliminating and eloquent preacher of the
gospel, and a sympathetic and faithful pastor
| Further, in expressing its sympathy witt
this church in the loss of this beloved and de
voted pastor, the council would tender it,
most cordial congratulations that, during
these many years this people has been undel
the influence and power of a ministry which
| has been the admiration of the neighborins
churches and which has held forth the conso
lations and joys, the patience and hope, TIT
help aud winsomeness of the kingdom 0
God. We pray that the Great Head of thu
church may guide this people speedily to thu
choice of another under-shepherd.
After announcing this result to the pub
lie in waiting, the council dissolved.
A committee of ladies bountifully pro
vided lunch for the visiting pastor an,
delegates.

FARM ATHLETICS.
What the Boys Should be Allowed When
Work is Done.

what the Boys Should be Allowed When
Work is Done.
When poets and philosophers vie
with each other in extolllng the
strengthening qualities of life on the
farm it Is funny that the systematic
pursuit of athletic training should be
substantially confined to cities and uni
versities. Of course, 1T may be said
that this is the working of evolution,
and that students practice athletics be-
cause they find that they must increase
their physical vigor or die, just as far
mers on alkali lands study chemistry
because only chemistry will enable
them to raise everything. But as a
matter of fact students do not practice
athletics in order to be strong; they
do it for the fun there is in it, and the
glory that awaits the victor.
In the old homely days of farming
when the expectation of the farmers
boy was to be farmer, and the pride
of his life was to excel his fellows in
| feats of strength and skill upon the
| farm, there was rustic contest when
ever two young men got together at
work, and there were formal contests
whenever there were number to-
gether on a holiday. Every Black
smiths shop had it's set OF quoits,
which the customers pitched while the
horses were shod. Every county fair
had it's blowing match, with the prize

the straightest furrow.

smooth liberty pole and prize, on
holidays, to boy or man who could

chopped wood there was a strife to gel

FEEDING THE PIGS.
Errors .hade the First Three Days After
Birth Are Fatal.

Errors .dade the First Three Days Ate,
Birth Are Fatal.
The first two or three days of the
pigs life is a critical period. If
mistake is made by the feeder, the err
ror is fatal to success. On the first day
pure water only. with the chill taken
off, should be provided.
On the second day only thin slop
of wheat middlings must be given
sparingly, with care to give too little
rather than too much. A good SOW is
great mixer. and if fed literally
when the pigs are small, they Will not
be able to take all the milk, and the
result is a caked udder or fever and
the consequent drying up of the milk.
After the second day the feed can be
gradually increased as the pigs are able
to take all the milk, and both SOW and
pigs will thrive and the pigs will grow
fat as no other live stock on the farm
grows. In few DAYS they will show
by their funny antics at play that they
are feeling good, and are really to make
good returns for all the feed the own
Ell furnishes, provided he has the good
sense to feed just a little less than the
dam will eat and thus keep her appe-
tite. sharp and digestion good, with no
risk of surfeit and consequent indi-
gestion.
After every meal the trough should
be licked clean. If anything is left the
feed has been too heavy. No farmer
ought to own a brood SOW who is not
observing enough to notice whether or
not anything is left in the trough af-
ter feeding -Rural World

study is Hard WorlS.

1t is hard to teach old dogs ne"
tricks. Farmers without the habit of
study find it exceedingly difficult to ex-
tract from printed matter concrete
knowledge in an available form. Much
of the information in the farmer S
brain is like the fertilizing elements
in many soils. It is there, but it is not
available. The farmer in his efforts
to assimiIate information from printed
matter is often as awkward as a pro-
lessor in Harvesting a horse. Study
ing is trade. To do it to any purpose
one must understand the art. More
than that he must be in practice. L
a city man grubs roots for an hour ev-
cry muscle in his body will be sore.
The farmers brain is tougher than the
city mans back, but if he bones down
to real study for an evening he will be
tired enough.
The farmers failing is to scatter his
brain power. He dips into too many
matters, and does not dip deep enough.

Keeplne Good sheen.

Sheep have been so thinned off the
past few years that there is good pros
pect for their being paying stock il
only the best are kept. Always in fall
the sheep flock needs to be assorted,
for, no matter though the price of
sheep and wool be on the rise, there
are some that cannot pay for winter
ing. When a sheep has reached fall
month, which will be when it is 5 years
old, it very quickly begins to deterior-
ate. A sheep Z or 8 years old is as old
as any sheep should be kept, unless 1t
is of some special breed and will pay
to keep longer as breeder. Ewes will
breed until they are u years old or
more, but they will require to be fed
with cut feed and much of it in succu-
lent form in winter.

Drewsville was last night the scene of

to press seem to indicate. We have had
considerable difficulty in getting full de-
tails it is well known that large delega-
tions both from Bellows Falls and North
Walpole were in attendance, but the very
fellows who were present last night when
asked about the affair this morning seem
to have lost their memories completely.
However it is certain there was fight,
and that it was pulled off in Drewsville

THE POLAR PEOPLE.

They eat their food unlocked.
Demented adults are attentively
cared for.
Their folklore and traditions are
very scant.
The men in the tribe sometimes ex-
change wives with each other for vari-
GUS periods.
No ceremony shows the contraction
of marriage, but polygamy is not re-
garded with favor.
They are very friendly to the white
people, having given much valuable aid
TO Attic exploration.
The Eskimos in Southern Greenland
are separate and distinct people from
those of the northern part.
These people are exceedingly primi-
tive, apparently just emerging from the
stone age of prehistoric man.
They do not use fire to keep them
selves warm, depending solely on ami
NAL heat.
In summer they live in seaIskin tents
The men remove all their clothing and
the women wear a girdle of sealskin
about their loins.
Their family lives are usually very
happy and characterized by great affec-
ton for their children, particularly
weak and sickly ones.
Some of the youths are quite hand
some, and would pass in civilized eoun-
tries as handsome men If properly
dressed and groomed.
