THE DAIRY DEPA aTMENT.

Quantity and excellence characterized
the dairy department, in which there were
90 entries of butter and % of cheese,
Orriz Bent of Boston, the expert judge,
spoke particularly of the high average of
the creamery butter, there being but a
slight difference in the markings of a
dozen different exhibits. The Brattleboro
creamery stood at the head of the entire
list with remarkably 6ne score of 90 out
of a possible 100 Mr.. MicOtt, the mana
ger of the creamery, secured total of S2S
on this single exhibit through winning the
creamery sweepstakes and special priz g
offered by the Worcester Salt Company and
the Vermont Farm Machine Company.
There were only one or two samples OF
butter in the entire department which were
marked lower than 90, and nearly all were
90 or better. The butter came from all
parts of Vermont and also from creameries
and private diaries in New Hampshire and
Massachusetts.

CHARLES I. HOOD.

For His Business Achievements.

Proprietor OF Hood Farm is VermOnter
who Has a Worldwide Reputation
For His Business Achievements.
Charles 1. Hood, the proprietor of Hood
Farm, was born in Chelsea, VT, and
while he was yet boy he went to Lowell,
Mass, where he began work in a drug
store. He learned the business thoroughly
and after laboring for five years he secured
a position as prescription clerk in the
large store of Metcalf & Co. in Boston.
While working there his health failed and
he was obliged to return to the country,
which was a serious disappointment to
him, as he had made resolution that he
would some day be partner in the firm.
He recovered his health and returned to
his place in Boston, but as the work still
proved too hard for him and he received
an offer to become partner in drug store
in Lowell he returned to that city.
After few years he bought his part
ner's interest in the business and soon
after this began the manufacture of Hoods
Sarsaparilla, which has given him world
wide fame. The business of manufacture
ing and selling Hoods Sarsaparilla has for
years been enormous and the laboratory
Is the largest building on earth devoted ex-
clusively to the proprietary medicine bust
ness. 1t was as a diversion from the
cares of this extensive business that Mr..
Hood began the breeding of thoroughbred
Jersey cattle and Berkshire hogs. He
cannot, however, be satisfied TO produce
anything except the best, and by the exer-
else of excellent judgment and the expen-
diture of much time and money he has
made Hood Farm the most famous breed
ing establishment in the country and its
herd of Jerseys and Berkshires contain
some of the greatest animals in the world
The foundation stock in the herd of Jer'
;seys consists of the great Worlds Fail
winners, and their ancestors and progeny
together with other strains that have proved
successful hicks.
Merry Maiden, winner of sweepstakes al
the best individual COW, all three tests
combined, at the Worlds Fair, Chicago
1898, is owned at Hood farm, together
with her dam and grandam, Merry Maid
ems Son, son of Merry Maiden and Brown
Bessie's Son, is now in use at Hood Farm
and young stock sired by him is to b.
seen there.

THE SWINE.

One applies descriptive terms to the
swine with trepidation, but the animals
in this department were certainly fine spec
linens of porcine development. Bradley
G. Newell of Rowe, Mass, the erstwhile
healer, now fancy farmer, was the largest
exhibitor with several pens of thorough
bred Berkshires, representing different
ages. The Brattleboro Retreat had for
exhibition only three pens each Of English
Berkshires and Improved Ohio Chester.
f. N. Farnum was the owner of two-year
old and four-months old Berkshires. T.
o. Taylor of Sanbornton, N. H., had pen
of Jerseys Reds. r. M. Waite had several
pens of grade Chester Whites. G. D. Noyes
entered Berkshires, and H. A. Stebbins
and the W. F. Richardson Co. fat grades.
The Hood exhibit of Berkshires is referred
to elsewhere.

Tie Slrdar.

Kitchener's wonderful industry, his
undisturbed patience, his noble per-
severance, are qualities too valuable
for man to enjoy in this imperfect
world without complementary defects.
The general, who never spared him
self, cared little for others. He treat
ed all men like machines-from the
private soldiers, whose salutes he dis.
dained, to the superior officers he rig.
idly controlled. The comrade who
had served with him and under him
for many years in peace and peril was
flung aside incontinently as soon a,
he ceased to be of use. The sirdar
only looked to the soldiers who could
march and fight. The wounded
Egyptian, and latterly the wounded
British soldier, did not excite his in.
terest, and of all the departments oi
his army the one neglected was that
concerned with the care of the sick
and injured.
The stern and Implying spirit oi
the commander was communicated tc
his troops, and the victories, which
marked the progress of the River wal
were accompanied by acts of barbar.
ity, not always justified by the harsh
customs of savage conflicts or the
fierce and treacherous nature OF the
dervish.-From the River War, by

The story of the green servant girl
who boiled q watermelon is more than
rivalled by the story OF the experienced
girl, who boiled the plum pudding.
She was the sort of young person who
more than anticipated any directions

on the subject, SO that the woman OF

TRUMPET AND FLAG,


The last bugle's dying echoes ialtef down
the narrow valley
The doubtful battle tarried In so long:
As turning from their headlong charge the
scattered horsemen rally,
The Ginning rocks repeat, that fading
song.
From the heights where eagles hover, day
dark clefts the buck leap over,
The thousand giant voices OF the crag,
,sonorous
Silver summons Of the Trumpet to the
"Awake! awakel your splendid robe out

Float proudly, lovely Sister, for your

The unanswered guns have spoken; we
have conquered; they are broken,
As the mists OF morn before the morning

Struck In sodden turf beneath q stormy
sky,
Rose the Flag, round whose encumbere.l
staff the uncounted dead were drifted
Who died to set its naughty folds so
high.
But she trailed her dropping vesture with

Murm'ring: "Yea, and should my 'broid-

Tho breezes LIT their draggled plumes to

o Thou cruel mighty Brother, thou did'st

With the breath that fills thy throat OF

Then swift upon those tender tones OF
womanly compassion,
Like sword from sheath the ringing an
swer sped:
ssWho flies the kiss of steel shall find his
end in worser fashion,
A straw death, strangled slowly on his
bed.
Let the slave, the sot, the coward, by ig-

Yet the traitors shall be hunted by the fate

but the italian Government stepped
in and informed the heirs Of the late
Count valdrizhI. the present owners
of the CASTILLO, of the intention OF the
State to purchase the property. It
was within the now dilapidated walls
of the castle that Emperor Henry Nv.
humbled himself before Pope Gregory
VII. in 1877, by waiting three days,
barefooted and in sack cloth, for the
papal pardon Referring to this re-
markable incident, Bismarck gave ut
terance to the now proverbial words,
in his struggle against the supremacy
of the ultramonta1es in 1872, ITO
Canossa we shall not CO." The castle
was partially destroyed by the rsyolu-
tionary burghers of Reggie in 1855,
and during the centuries which have
since elapsed the touch of time has
gnawed mercilessly at the once almost
invincible stronghold. Several of the
halls and chambers of the castle are
still intact, and both the Italian and
foreign archaeological associations
which were prepared to bid for the
historical ruins at the proposed auc-
ton are now most anxious that the
italian Government preserve the castle
from further decay in default of re-
storing it to its pristine condition.

of this apparatus can scarcely realize
how remarkably effective it is. Often
when the mussels are abundant, al.
most every prong will have a mussel
on it, and two or three are sometimes
caught on one prong. When the beds
of mussels are compact, one ran can
take 800 to 1000 pounds in LAY, and
a case is reported where 2200 pounds
were obtained by one man in ten
hours. The average daily catch at
present, however, is probably not over
500 pounds.
After sufficient ice forms on the
river, there is considerable mussel
fishing through the ice with "shoul-
der rakes" and "scissor rakes." For
the use of these appliances, under
such circumstances, hole two to six
feet square is cut through the ice.
Preparatory to being used, the
mussel shells, as purchased from the
fishermen, are sorted into sizes. An
other preliminary step is the soaking
of the sorted shells in barrels of
fresh water for three to six days to
render them less brittle. Even when
only few hours out of the river the
shells become dry and brittle, and
crumble or split under the saw.
The next step is the cutting or saw
ing of the rough blanks.
The saws are of fat steel strips
about two inches wide, and of various
lengths corresponding to the sizes of
the buttons. These strips after be-
ing provided with fine teeth along one
of the sides, are accurately bent into
a cylindrical form and fitted into
heavy iron holders; the latter are nd.
justed to lathe in which they revoiye
on o horizontal axis. AS the blanks
are cut they pass back into the saw
and holder and drop into a box be-
neatn the saw. After being polished,
washed and dried, the buttons go to
rooms where they are sorted into
sizes and grades OF quality, and then
sewed on cards and packed in PASTE
beard boxes.
