Memorial Day.
NOrthfield News. I

The St. Adams Messenger is of the
opinion that the veXed question of the
alleged dissertation of Memorial day by
sports and games can be settled in no
Sunday in May for the thirtieth, as is be-
better way than by substituting the last
ing advocated in Massachusetts Just now
The day has certainly been turned far
from Its original intention in making it
great holiday. On the thirtieth day of
May the rising generation is now largely
found at the race track, the ball game,
and the thousand and one amusements
prepared for a holiday crowd, rather
than at the graves of the nations fallen
heroes. If there is no remedy for this,
II the day must continue to be one for
frivolous sport, the G. A. r. may we'll
consider the proposition 10 change its
date to Sunday. We do not
take 1t that the present condition
exists because those who have
grown to manhood since the Civil war
are unappreciatiye of the efforts of the
men who went to the front in the dark
days of the Civil war, but rather because
the holiday idea has grow unchecked
until 1t threatens an oblteration of the
real purpose of the day, except to the
veterans themselves.

The death of former President Harri-
son, which took place Wednesday after
noon at his home in Indianapolis. is
especially to be regretted at tine when
the country needs men who dare to place
patriotism above partsanship. General
Harrison was soldier, statesman and
lawyer of the first rank, but above all he
was man of conscience, and no consid-
erations of party policy could blind him
as to his duty to his country. That
Americans like this quality in their
statesmen is evidenced by the universal
grief his death has caused-a grief which
is not marked by party lines. His posi-
ton as former pre- sident, as well as his
profound statesmanship, made his utter
ances of great weight with the masses
and that he used this innue1 ce for the
perpetuity of that liberty and justice
which forms the basis of our Constitu
ton. is the highest tribute that can be
paid to his memory.

When over the fair fame of friend or foe
The shadow of disgrace shall fall; instead
OF words of blame, or proof of thus and so,
Let something good be said.
Forget not thai no fellow being yet
May fall so low but love may lift his head;
Even the cheek of shame with tears is wet
If something good be said.
No generous lit art may vainly turn aside
In ways of sympathy; no soul so dead
But may awaken strong and glorihed
il something good be said.
And so charge ye by the thorny crown
And by the cross on which the Saviour bled.
And by your own souls hope of fair renown,
Let something good be said.

American eNposition-at least that part
of it representing the patent oflice-wll
not be mere collection of curiosltits
this time. 1t is proposed to make the
exhibit representative of the latest prac-
tical developments along various me-
chanical lines. There will be shown tel
autograph machines which will enable
man to transmit his own handwriting to
distant points instead of having to resort
to Geographic signals; photo-repro-
ducing machines which will enable
photographs 10 be automatically repro
duced at distant points; telephones
which talk by means of beam of light
Instead of by wires; typesetting aud
automatic distributing machines; a pro-
cess of making the paper on which this
is printed from logs of wood; the max
ing of canoes, trunks, pipes, washers
ana FONTS from rags, straw or other
fiber; the treatment of cotton cloth
chemically so as to convert it into a good
substitute for silk, and number of
other striking Improvements. The visitor
to the exposition will thus be introduced
to his own future a little earlier than
might otharwise be the case.

The constant use of cartoons during
political campaigns has famliarized
newspaper readers with the elephant as
the emblem of the Republican party and
the mule as that of the Democratic party.
The origin of these is thus told by a
Washington correspondent: According
to the recollection of the Republican
leaders in this city, the use of the ele-
phant to represent that party originated
with cartoon drawn by Thomas Mast
after the presidential election of 1876.
While the result of that election was in
doubt and was earnestly disputed by the
partisans of both Hays and Tiden there
appeared in Harper's Weekly cartoon
which struck everybody with great force
as true representation of the situation.
Senator Iachariah Chandler, the chair
man of the Republican national COM
mlttee, was portrayed as holding by the
tail an elephant which had fallen over a
precipice, and the inscription was some
thing like this "What will happen to
the &. o. p if he lets go?" The origin
of the jackass as representing the Demo
cratic party is also traced to a cartoon of
Mr.. Mast, suggested by an intercepted
telegram. from Senator William IL.

The feeding stutfs inspection estab-
lished at the Vermont experiment station
is beginning to work. The station is
just sending out another bulletin giving
additional results of the years inspection
and analyses. This shows that 22G
samples of feeding stulls have been ana
lyzed. These were collected, mostly
from dealers, during the fall of 1900.
Cottonseed, linseed and gluten feeds
were all found to be free from adultera-
ton. though as might have been eX-
pected, the various brands showed consid-
cradle variation in composition. Some
of them were better than others; and the
station analyses will help buyers in pick
ing OUT the best. Amongst oat feeds.
corn and oat feeds, provenders and the
like, the conditions were found not quite
so satisfactory. Some brands contained
considerable quantities of oat hulls, more
than they ought to have were the goods
made of 'pure grains ground together,
as suggested in the state law. Such
feeds, of course, are of inferior quality.
The farmer should buy something else.
Bran, middlings and mixed (wheat)
feeds are exempt from the state inspec-
ton, but, so far as they were examined
this year, seem to be of fairly good
grade,

TO THE REGISTERS The migration of
birds is in many particulars a mystery
to be solved. The fact, however, is
shown by the flOcks of crows that are
already passing north each afternoon at
about five o'clock in larger or smaller
companies. In 1899 more than 2200
were counted at one sitting. In some
seasons the birds come much earlier
than they do in others. They came
earlier in 1898 than in 1900. Ia the
former year the Song Sparrow was seen
March Ia, the Robin March II, the Blue
bird March Is, the Purple Grackle March
20, while in 1900 the Song Sparrow was
not seen till March % and the others
about the close of the month. Now
while the leaves are of the trees is a
good time to notice how many nests
there are and where they are, to see how
abundant those of the Baltimore Oriole
are and in what kind of trees they are
most frequently found. John Burroughs
has said that more than one-half of the
nests of song birds are not more than
five feet from the ground and that more
than three fourths of them are not
higher than ten feet. We should now be
on the alert to hear the Woodpecker
"drumming" on a dead branch or tele-
phone pole to attract the attention of his
mate. f.

For the Valley Towns.

We believe it is always in order to
look out for any possible addition to the
list of Vermont industries and therefore
rise to suggest thar some of our valley
towns with plenty of contiguous rich
land look up the beet sugar business
During the past three years his business
has pas sed from the experimental stage
to complete success. The factories in
operation in this country have been
universally successful and the farmers
raising the beets have made net profit
Of from $40 to so per acre on their
beets, which draw less on the fertility of
the sou than almrst any other crop.
The farmers in and around Bay City,
Mich, received, in the aggregate,
$4,000 tor their beets last fall and the
tw" factories there, each representing an
investment of some S250,000. made a
handsome profit. There is no danger of
slump in the business for the reason
that the United States is the greatest
sugar market in the world and including
Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippines,
now raises less than one quarter of the
sugar used here. lie would in fact re-
quire sevral large factories to supply the
sugar used in Vermont alone. The con-
diliOns here are not as favorable as in
some parts of the country, but much
more so than in many places in Europe
whe beet sugar making is success ully
carried on In the valley of the Con-
necticut or on the alluvial lowands of
Addison county the business should be
almost certain of success. Our sum-
mers are not long but hot and sunshiny,
and that is what beets want to store
away the greatest amount of sugar.
