MUNICIPALITIES.

Herr Krupp, the gunmaker, has the
largest income of any manufacturer in
Europe.
Hiram s. Maxim, the inventor, has at
length given up his American birthright
for British naturalization certificate.
Mrs. Hetty Green in a recent inter-
view said: 1.-THE idea that the way to
financial success is hard one is all
wrong. The road is not rough. 1t is
easy to find and to travel. People look
for it in out-of-the-way places and so
miss it."
In speech just before open hostili-
ties began in South Africa Gen. Joubert
referred to Joseph Chamberlain as 1.-The
wicked Naaman." The English soldiers
at the front have taken this up and so
name the home secretary.
1t is said that Admiral Dewey's son
receives sample every time an article
named for Dewey is put on the market,
whether it be a cravat, collar, hat, a
cigar, brand Of whisky or anything
else. He has decorated his room with
these samples, and 1t is probably the
most remarkably decorated room in
America.
We Ting Fang, the first Chinese min
lister to America able to converse in
English, has already begun to pay the
penalty for such knowledge. He has
been interviewed by reporter concern
ing his opinion of American women,
and, being as yet stranger to the par
ticular brand Of diplomacy needed in
such cases. he said that "gentlsness is
not an American quality" and that he
prefers the women Of China to those of
this country.

FOREST HILL FARM NOTES.
What is Good a Cowp

have been busy the past week fix
ing up my barn for winter: putting
down some new flooring, mailing bat
tons where they have become loose,
outlying up cracked and broken glass
in the windows, and mending any
leaks that would admit wind or water
What for? For the sake OF the
COWS. ! think almost as much OF my
COWS as | do of my horses and as much
of my horses as l do of my vii mean
my wagon.
The COW is part Of the family in
some European countries, occupying
a stall under the same roof as her
master and receiving all the attention
that he is able to give her, and where
else will you find such COWS? A good
cow is half the living in many fam
lily in this country as we'll as in Ell-
rope. But there are COWS and cows.
What is a good COW? | would say,
one that fully answers the purpose for
which she is kept.
Vermont farmers are now largely
interested in raising beef, so | will
not attempt to describe the beef COW
but add word about the dairy COW.
l am badly prejudiced on the subject,
so ! will give fair warning to take
what l say with grain of allowance.
There is only one breed of dairy COW
that | am satisfied with and that is
the breed with large, well quartercd
udder, prominent milk veins, broad
escutcheon, slender, graceful neck,
kindly eye, rich yellow skin and a
capacity to store away provender only
equalled by the quantity and richness
of her milk. There are different
names for this COW, but no matter, l
always pick for COW and not for name.
This COW, if rightly handled, will
yield at least 300 pounds of gilt edge
butter each year that she is in COM
mission, and pays for herself every
year. | will stop right here on the
COW question, for | could write all day
and not tell all her good qualities.

Great excitement was never shown

that. But when she called on her

Only short time ago we published
the revised and simpliied creed of the
UniverSaliSt churches. Now the
church of Rev. G. M. Sheldon, the
gifted author of Gin His Steps," has
adopted shorter creed, SO simple, he
says, that child can understand it,
but one that embodies all the essen
tial pledges of the old Congregational
covenant. 1t is as follows:
Dearly beloved, called of God to be
his children through Jesus Christ, we
give hearty thanks to God, who, by
his spirit, has opened your eyes to see
and your heart to receive Jesus as
Lord, and who has led you to present
yourself here to confess him and to
unite with his church.
Now, before God, your Heavenly
Father, and Jesus, his son, and in the
presence of his people, you promise to
devote yourselves during your whole
life to the love, service and obedience
of Jesus Christ. You promise to walk
in his steps so far as you know them
now or may hereafter learn them
through his holy scriptures and to do
his will so far as you may be
able, through the help of the Holy
Spirit. You do cordially unite your
self with this church of Christ, and
you promise to share with us in it's
worship and work, by attending the
services of the church, by aiding in
the financial and social work of the
church, and by taking upon yourself
such possibilities as you believe be-
long to you as member of this
church.
do you SO promise?
Now, unto him who is able to keep
you from falling and to present you
faultless before the presence of his
glory with exceeding joy, to the only
wise God, our Saviour, be glory and
majesty, dominion and power, both
now and forever. Amen.

Our esteemed contemporary, The
Times, was enlarged yesterday to an
eight page paper to make room for the
large amount of holiday advertising
that it expects. Mr.. Langley deserves
his success as it has been won by hard
work and hustle. That there is ample
room here for two good daily papers,
as we said when we came here two
months ago, has been conclusively
proved. The Times has not appa-
rently suffered, and THE TELEGRAM

The Chicago Inter Ocean is right
when it says there was no excuse for
Ambassador Choate's recent speech in
which he expressed the hope that
England and America would "clasp
hands across the sea" and that the
supreme interest of America was the
preservation of peace with all the
nations of the earth. The supreme
mission of America is to look after
the interests of America. The idea
that the three greatest commercial
nations of the world have one COM
mon aim and one purpose. They have,
but it is to get all they can. This is
horse sense.

Line Fences.

If owned all the land that joined
me | would not be obliged to look so
closely after my line fences, but as
do not | am on the lookout all the
time to see that my half of the party
line fences are kept up in good shape.
''Poor fences make bad neighbors," is
a very true saying. | have known
some very large troubles to crawl
through some very small holes in tie
line fences of adjoining farmers.
Years ago i kept flock of forty to
fifty sheep on my farm and the train
ing they gave me in looking out for
fences has done me good ever since
A fence that the average sheep can t
get over, under or through is a pretty
good fence. l am getting to be more
and more IN favor of wire fences every
year. They require less looking after
when they are properly built than any
other kind of fence. | shall use the
last twenty rods of stone wall on my
farm this fall in the construction of
the drainage that | am now doing,
and ] shall be glad to see the last
stone disappear from sight.

Winter Blooming Plants.

While am busy putting our home
supply of potatoes in the cellar bin
the madam is filling her windows in
the kitchen and dining room with
ported bulbs. She has sent away to
the florist for an assortment of winter
blooming plants that will helpto make
us forget the winter. She has also
put a number of bulbs. crocuses, tu-
lips and similar Towering plants in the
ground, in beds to the south of the
house. Others she is holding back to
be potted later. l suppose this ar
rangement is something like the wind
ing of an alarm clock to 60 off early
in the morning. She is evidently
planning so as not to have them all go
off at once, but rather to strew their
fragrance out through the cold winter
months and during the early spring.
Bulbs are SO cheap now that almost
every farmer can have limited as
sortment of blooming plants in the
windows this winter if he wants to.
Maple Sugar Prospects.
Maple sugar dealers are quite gener-
ally discouraged in Vermont over the
poor, scanty yield of last spring and
the devastation among the maple
trees by the tent caterpillar. heard
it frequently remarked that we
are in danger of losing our maple or
chards if the worms continue another
year as bad as the last two seasons.
We will, of course, have to wait and
see, but in the mean time | am going
to tap my trees again in the spring as
usual. Last spring made 500 lbs. of
fairly good sugar from 900 trees tai D.
ped. ! had my pals all hung in time
to catch the first run of sap, which
proved to be the best run of the sea-
son. L sold little too soon, receiving
nine cents per pound, whereas
If | had held two months later | could
have sold for II cents, but ! am not
sorry l sold. always make prac-
tice to sell when l can get good fair
price and if the price advances later it
is all right. l like to see Others make
a good thing as we'll as myself. 1 have
taken pains to find out from others in
different parts of the state as to the
damage done by the caterpillar and l
find that only in rare instances have
the worms done severe damage in the
same locality two successive years.
