number of illustrations from photo.
graphs, and tables showing about 25C
hotels and private houses in all parts OF
the state open to summer visitors, with
prices and other information. There is
also a descriptive list of nearly 10C
farms for sale at low prices. This adj
vertising part of the work of the board
and very valuable part it is-has been
done by the secretary, Victor I. Spear
of Braintree. in connection with statisti
cal operations. and copies of the publ.
cation may be had from him by sending
five cents for postage.
1t would unquestionably be we'll for
people in the state to make greater eff.
fort to sell farms to summer visitors
a city family coming to the state for the
summer pays its board and something
more for horse hire and the like, and
that is the end of it. The family is like.
ly enough to go somewhere else the
next summer. But if farm is bought
and improved the case is different. Then
the city man becomes tax payer and
necessarily has an interest in public
affairs; he is a permanent fixture, usual
ly spends money freely and is socially
and otherwise great gain to the com.
munity where he settles. Almost every
section of the state already has some
farm owned in this way, and knows by
experience the advantages of the ar
rangement.
City men advancing to middle life tend
more and more to the country. and many
of them like to own country places.
Vermont offers greater attractions to
such men than any other section, IN
spite of some foolish laws, and would
find a sale for many of its farms if
properly put on the market, properly
brought to the notice of the right men.
To fairly successful man of an age to
retire from business the cost of Yer
mont farm and the cost of putting it in
the shape he wants it. makes a small
matter, and buying and improving such
a thing may bring at once the cheapest
and most satisfactory summer home he
can get. OF course it is not necessarily
the farm best for profitable cultivation
that is best for a summer home. Air
and water, location and picturesqueness,
tell the story.
Summer visitors are recognized as of
great value to Vermont in many ways.
a better thing than even the summer
visitor is what may be called the "sum-
mer citizen" We have some of these
citizens already, ana ought to have a
great many more.-Rutland Herald,

4 smart old Farmer.

One of the most successful and re-
spected men In Jay is Martin S. Cham
berlain, who has farmed it there for over
GO years. MIR. Chamberlain was born i'm
Troy in 1924, moving to Jay In 1885.
When 20 years old he bought a farm of
SIS acres, mortgaging it heavily. This
acreage he increased from time to time
until he had 300 acres and at the end of
years had built $1,000 house and new
barns, and paid of every obligation.
Then through unfortunate business
ventures he lost all, but with his old
energy began again and in two years
had the farm of 1876 acres which he now
owns. In seven years he had paid for
it and was keeping six cows, four young
cattle and a team. Mr.. Chamberlain
has held nearly all of the town offices
and has been a prominent church
worker.-New England Homestead.

A DAINTY PICNIC LUNCHEON.

Famous Cooking Expert Suggests some
Appetizing Dishes.
"A goodly quantity of fruit, a box of
well-made sandwiches. some eggs and
coffee, with few lady fingers, will pro-
vide comfortable luncheon and dinner, "
writes Mrs. S. r. Rorer, who suggests a
number of picnic luncheons in the
August Ladies Home journal. AN
alcohol stove, costing but twenty five
cents, with two ounces of alcohol. will
furnish boiling water for the coffee, and
will cook a dish of scrambled eggs or
make Welsh rareblt For cooking the
latter an ordinary TIN pie-dsh will
answer, The coffee may be finely ground
and put into a cheese-cloth bag in the
cotlee-pot, all ready for the boiling
water. Sandwiches are the most appro-
pirate form of food for picnics. especially
the dainty, appetizing sandwiches made
of homemade white or whole wheat
bread, filed with mixture of chopped
meat. dalntily seasoned.
AN agreeable acquisition to a picnic
luncheon or supper is salad made either
from some green vegetable or tomato
Half & pint of mayonnaise dressing may
be carried In jar, and the salad arranged
on wooden plates. Vegetables and fruits
serve as food and drink. Sardines,
shrimps or salmon may he minced, rub
bed to paste with a little lemon JUICE,
and used as filling for sandwiches.
Lemons for lemonade may be squeezed
at home, the juice mixed with a proper
proportion of sugar, four tablespoonfuls
to each good-sized lemon, poured into
bottle and diluted at the picnic grounds.
Condemned milk is easy to carry, and
will answer the purpose of either milk
or cream

EVOLUTION OF THE TRoTTER
Wonderful Increase in the Number of
Fast Horses Since 1856.

NohueiIui increase III the Number of
Fast Horses Since 1856.
When Mr.. Bonner bought his first trot-
ting horse in July, 1856, there were only
10 horses, including the living aud the
dead, that had been trotted a mile in
2;3O. The record of Highland Maid,
2 :21, made In 1853, was the best. but it
was beaten by Flora Temple in Septem.
Der, 1856. Hiram Woodruff drove her at
Union course, Long Island, to a record
of :243. a great stimulus was given to
breeding by Mr.. Bonner, who has paid
over 100000 for trotters. and this with
out ever starting a horse for purse, stake.
premium or wager. The fact that now
there are over 1900 horses in the , 30
list shows how healthy the stimulus was.
The increase is simply marvellous. The
best trotting record is the O3f of Alix.
made in September, 1894. and the best
pacing record is the ? :0O4 of John r.
Gentry, made in 1896. The champion
PAGER, by the wav, is trotting bred.
There are today 30 trotters with rec.
ords of 900 and better, and five of these
hold records of :0G and better.
There are 81 trotters In the 2:10 class,
and the fastest of these, Alix and Nancy
Hanks, were sired by stations not nam
ed in the , 80 list. Whips, the sire of
Azote, , ;0l3 has record of 2:274; D.
rector, sire of Directum, , :054, has a rec.
ord of 2:l7, and Sultan, sire of STAN
boul, 2:075, has a record of 2:24:

ngale, pos; Young Jim, the sire of
Trevillain, 2:0S4 and Harold. sire of
Maud 5, , :0Si, are stations that never
obtained standard records, and some of
them were never trained in public. EX-
IRENE speed, in the majority of cases, has
come from undevelOped stations. The
marked evolution of the light harness
horse has taken place in the lifetime of
Mr.. Bonner, gentleman who has done
so much to clothe him with value. and
who, through periods of initiation and
depression, has never lost faith in his
ability to contribute to the. health and
pleasure of mankind The trotting
horse, the roadster, is, in the estimation
of Mr.. Bonner, so thoroughly identified
with the higher civilization of this coun-
try that he will survive long after the
pessimists of the present hour have be-
came food for worms.-Turf. Field and

HOW TO KEEP COOL.


\ Wide-Open House Not Necessarily a Cool
Place in summer.
All sorts of advice seem seasonable.
If you can't keep cool, keep as cool as
you can, is the common suggestion. 1t
is well to remember that Opon windows
or doors do not necessarily mean a
cooler house or store. If the air is
warmer out of doors than within. to
open the doors and windows raises the
temperature within. This is a simple
fact, and everybody ought to recognize
it. but it is surprising how many think
they get cooler and fresher air by letting
into their otherwise comparatively
comfortable rooms the torrid heat which
the sun is producing ont of doors.
Closed windows and doors keep heat
out in summer on the same principle
that they keep cold out in winter. Dur
ing the evening and night open windows
may make the house cooler, but during
the hot afternoon the less air that gets
in from outside the better. 1t is on this
/
folds of linen about his head on the hot
desert plains-to keep out the heat
and that the outing shirt of flannel is
cooler than cotton garment. Keeping
out heat in summer is as much an art as
keeping out cold in winter. When
swelterng on a tOrrid afternoon do not
rush to open windows and doors. That
is apt to be jumping from the frying
pan into the fire, which is not cooling
process.
The weather is made a scapegoat by
many. when really they themselves are
largely to blame for their suffering. BY
vigorous exercise with a fan they get
up bodily heat which the breeze of a
fan does not counterbalance. The cor
rect principle is to keep out the heat.
not to generate it within, and then try
to blow it away. Keeping as quiet as
possible, eating sparingly, avoiding
large quantities of meats. fats, and heat
producing foods, drinking very moder-
ately, eschewing alcoholic stimulants,
and above all cultvating philosophical
turn of mind which leads to the con-
clusion that it is waste of time and
energy to revIle the temperature, are
good hot weather suggestions. Rome
