Miss Minnie Prouty of Townshend has
bought at Hood Farm, Lowell, Mass,
very promising pair of Berkshire pigs.
The boar is sired by Bigfellow of Hood
Farm and his dam is Stumpy Girl w, of
Hood Farm. Bigfellow is one of the great
boars at Hood Farm, and full brother of
Longfellow of Hood Farm, one of the fin
est boars in the country. The SOW bought
by Miss Prouty is by King Lee XVII,
her dam being the imported SOW Hi gh-
clere Countess. King Lee NNVIl. is
son of the great prize winning King Lee
and his dam is the grand sow Duchess
CXXIX. These pigs should form the
foundation for a fine herd. 1t augurs
we'll for the breeding industry of Vermont
that so many richly bred animals are be-
ing secured for breeding purposes. The
proprietor of Hood Farm, c. l. Hood, who
has spent much time and money in gather
ing at Hood Farm so many great individ-
uals of royal ancestry, is doing a good
work in making it possible for smaller
breeders to secure young stock that is ca
pable of bringing up the standard OF com
mon herds.

returning home Monday.
Patriotism was manifested by the pupils
of the school and several older people
Monday afternoon by raising flag on the
schoolhouse. The pupils raised the money
for the flag by giving entertainments while
the school was in charge of Miss Halliday
(now Mrs. Hun) of Dover. There had
been delay in the purchase of the flag until
the present term when the matter was put
in charge of Miss Perry, the present
teacher, and it is due to her persistent eff
forts that the flag and pole were obtained
in time for the Memorial exercises of Mon
day afternoon. After the flag was raised
the people gathered in the schoolroom to
listen to the recitations and singing in
which the pupils who took part did them
selves credit. Miss Perry also read poem
suitable to the occasion.
