their best to induce the farmers to en-

1t has been several years since we have
e4per1enced as severe dav and night as that
OF last FRIDAY. It was IL deerees below zero
IN the morning and continued below the
freezing point thrnnuhout the day. The
wind blew at fearful rate and the air was
full of fvino snow. The result was that the
cold was driven into every spot and place,
even into some we'l-protected cellars. There
is no doubt but that later on mapv potatoes
will be found tn have been frozen. On Satur-
dav mnrninc the temperature was all the wav
from IA to 20 degrees below zero In this vicin-
itv. IF we we're possessed of muse we
would sing "And now is the winter of our
discomfort"
John R. Smith recently had the misfortune
TO lose a valuable young horse in rather
a mysterious manner. The position of the
horse when found in the morning would
seem to indicate that he had, while eating his
grain, reached around towards the manper of
the adjoining stall as his teeth we're firmly
clinched to the board in front Of It and he
was harging nv them while his neck was
resting on the board nf his own crib in such
a manner as to shut nff his wind.

IDENTIFY reaching out to grasp Vermont and
perhaps the residents of Montpelier will soon
be buying their lscteal fluid from gigantic
corporation. Operations have already been
commenced in the vicinity of Montpelier,
where overtures have been been made to
number of the mikmen. They have been
approached on the subject of selling out their
routes and carts by man whose name is
Jackson, who says he represents a number
of capitalists in Massachusetts,, who will take
the route of the milk en, the delivery carts,
etc at what they are worth, and will con-
tract to take their milk at three cents per
quart, delivered at one place, for one year.
New wagons of an expensive kind would be
used in delivering, and the men who had
charge of them would be in uniform. The
milkmen who have been approached do not
take very kindly to the idea. Some of them
would be willing to sell out and sell their
milk direct to such a company if q contract
would be made to take the milk at the price
mentioned for longer term than one year.
After that time the company would get the
milk where it could be procured the cheapest.
The dealers do not want to take the chance
OF losing their routes and of selling milk in
one year.
