Help One Another.

Let US return to the good old coun-
try times when every one helped every
other person in the community. In those
good old times every one was ready to
halve a friends sorrows as well as
double friends joys. When the we'd
ding bells began to ring, the young
girls, the friends of the bride, used to
come from the village and decorate the
church altar with the wild flowers
which they had picked. Friends would
sew the wedding garments; friends
would serve the wedding cake; friends
would help the young people furnish
the new home; friends would bear
the burdens, the happy burdens OF
joy. Then, when trouble came, the
same friends would come In and help
the invalid they would pour out the
medicine; they would close the eye
lids in the last sleep; they would SIT
up all night long with the dead; they
would sew the shroud and carry the
casket and dig the grave. The same
friends would throw into the grave
the sods which would fall uDon the

A Vermont Society for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis.

The growing Importance of the tu-
berculosis question in Vermont has
suggested the need of a society for the
study and prevention of tuberculosis.
Accordingly call signed by Doctors
W. N. Plat, Shoreham; c. w. Peck,
Brandon; l.. w. Hubbard, Lyndon:
Mr.. II. l.. Stillson, Bennington; Hon.
Henry Ballard, Burlington; Doctors j.

has been issued for a meeting for or.
ganization to be held at Burlington.

hall.
Besides the business pertaining to
organization the following subjects are
TO be discussed:
The need of a state sanitarium for
Vermont consumptives.
The relation of bovine tuberculosis
to public health in Vermont.
The notification and control of tu.
0erculosis in the state, etc. etc.
The organization is not to be sec
tartan in any sense, but open to all
who are interested in the tuberculosis
question as it concerns the people of
Vermont. cordial invitation is ex-
tended TO every citizen and public
minded individual in the state to be
present and. to take part in the meet
ing. The leading men of Vermont.

The Educational Exhibit.

One of the most interesting features
of the exhibit in floral hall was the
educational exhibit by the graded
schools, and some of the district
schools. in Brattleboro, Mortified,
East Mortified, Mortified Farms,
Leyden, Gill. Vernon and Warwick.
Nothing of the kind previous to this
year ever has been attempted, but the
interest Shown by thousands of peo-
pie will justify whatever. attempts are
made in the future in this direction.
Hundreds of samples of school work
were shown, including mechanical
drawings, pen and ink work, pencil
work, charcoal drawings, water color
ing, free-hand cutting, map drawing
and coloring, clay modelling, etc. The
exhibition was revelation to those
who have not kept in touch with mod
ern methods of school work, and even
those who are at the head of the
schools said they did not fully
realize the scope of the work un-
til the different specimens were got
ten together. Large numbers of note
books and other regular school papers
were included in the exhibit. and what
gave the real value to the whole was
the fact that none of the papers,
drawings, etc. were selected with
view to getting what was best. but
all were taken at random and repre-
scented work that is actually being done
every day and may be seen by any
person who will visit the schools.

The Nile Irrigation Works.

the kind in ancient or modern times.
which will form a reservoir in the
Nile Valley capable of storing 900
oooOOO tons of water, will not only
produce a revolution in the primitive
ana laborious methods of irrigation
in Egypt, but will reclaim to the uses
OF the husbandman vast areas of land
that hitherto have been accounted arid
and worthless desert.
The old system of irrigation was
little more than a high Nile flooding
inherent areas of land or basins sur
rounded by entertainments. Less than
a hundred years ago, perennial irriga-
tlon was first attempted to be intro
duced by cutting deep canals to con-
Ney the water to the lands when the
Nile was at its low summer level.
When the Nile rose, these canals had
TO be blocked by temporary earthern
dams, or the current would have
wrought destruction. AS a result
they silted up, and had to be cleared
of many millions of tons of mud each
year by enforced labor, much misery
ana eXtortion resulting therefrom.
ABOUT half a century ago the first
serious attempt to improve matters
was made by the construction of the
celebrated barrage at the apex of the

SHEEP AND SWINE.

The wool producers did not com
pletely overrun their allotted space, as
was the condition last year, but there
We're enough of them and enough va
rieties TO satisfy everybody. The
principal exhibitors of thoroughbreds
were S. c. Severance & Sons of Ber-

the competition was so hot that the
contests lasted from early forenoon un.
til nearly sunset.

The Culinary Department.

The ladies who judged the many
samples of cooking displayed in floral
hall had a difficult problem on hand.
The first difficulty which they ex-
perienced was in finding a place for
the cookery. There was fully twice
as much as could be cared for com
fortably, and it was necessary to pile
much of it on the show cases. The
next difficulty came in deciding which
was best in each class, for the ex-
hibit was not only unusually large, but
unusually meritorious. A full list
of the premiums awarded is given in
this paper. The judges state that
ordinarily it is comparatively easy for
them to award the prizes on bread.
This year, however, the bread was
uniformly of very excellent quality.
The department of cookery is deserv-
ing of larger quarters.

FLORAL HALL.

The department of woman's handi-
craft brought out numerous samples
of the latest fads and designs. 1t
would be idle to attempt to describe or
enumerate them. The more meritor-
ious are given in the premium list.
The largest single exhibit. as well as
the handsomest. was made by the
GlantZberg sisters of Deerfield, Mass.
and was enclosed in large glass case.
The different pieces in the collection
were made by hand loom and among
them were portieres and sofa pillow
covers of lovely designs besides some
beautiful pieces of kensington work
The sisters intended to be present,
but were unable to come.
A hand loom in actual operation by
Miss Mary Dyker of Brattleboro was
the central attraction for the ladies
and was indeed fascinating Com
paratively few knew that Miss Dvker
was engaged in that sort of work at
her home in Esteyville. She exhibit
ed several very handsome pieces of
her own hand work and two pieces
over 200 years old which were handed
down by her ancestors in Sweden. An
other Swedish girl OF Brattleboro.
Anna Porat, exhibited some beautiful
pieces of linen pillow lace. hand made,
and some crocheted insertion
There were perhaps fewer batten-
berg pieces than usual, still there was
a good number of handsome designs
in collars. doilies and centrepieces
from exhibitors in Brattleboro. Gull

Correspondence school. There was
good display of tatting and crocheted
lace handkerchiefs. collars, etc, also

this particular kind of work has been
shown than formerly.

In the estex and Crosby BUILDINGS.

Thousands of people passed through
the Estey Organ companys building
and admired the tone of the instru-
ments on exhibition as well as the
workmanship evidenced by the hand
somely finished cases. Both organs
and pianos were exhibited, but the
instrument which attracted the most
attention was the large pipe organ,
made at the Brattleboro factories. The
exhibit was in charge of w. B. Eddy.

WORLDS RECORD BROKEN.
j. D. Avery's Giant Holsteins Drew
10000 Pounds in the Free for ALL
Remarkable Work of the 5000 Class.

The record which has stood for eight
years went down in the draft oxen
contest, free for ALL when Mack and
Teddy, the big Hosteins, six years
old, owned by j. d. Avery of Buck
land, Mass, pulled a mammoth load
weighing 10,0S0 pounds. In 1894 Mr.
Avery's world famous pair, Joe and
Jim, drew I0,04O pounds at the Valley
Fair, and so far as known thas has
been a record for the entire country
up to this time. Mack and Teddy
did the trick so handily that it was
evident they were not pushed to their
limit, and their owner offered to wager
that they could draw 500 or 1000
pounds more if the stones were placed
upon the boat so they would not fall
oft. Mack and Teddy are a handsome
pair, six years old, weighing 5775
pounds. Mr. Averys Tom and Jerry,
the biggest cattle ever known, finally
weighed 5000 pounds. Jim is dead
and Joe is now being exhibited as
special attraction in tents at fairs
throughout the country under the
management of ]. P. Nichols of Brat
tleboro. Mr.. Avery says Mack and
Teddy are larger at their age than
Joe and Jim were, and that eventually,
if they live he will bring them up to
the 5000 mark in weight They
worked throughout last winter on a
lumber job in Colrain and in the spring
they weighed 4400 pounds, so that
they have gained over 1000 pounds
since then. S. R. Breck won second in
the free for all, his pair drawing 5000
pounds, which is a remarkably good
pull. Mr. Avery then had 1920
pounds more loaded ON, so that he
could beat the record, and was then
satisfied to stop. l.. T. Dickinson of
Winchester, N. H., was the winner of
the third prize, drawing 7340 pounds.
Other entries were by o. P. Hubbard
of West Halifax, ]. H. Dickinson of

Fruit and Flowers.

There were perhaps no more exhibit
tors in the fruit department than for
merly. but the exhibits were larger
than usual, and long before all of the
fruit had been displayed the supply of
plates was exhausted. Heretofore
something like 500 plates were used
This year the number exceeded 1000
To attempt to mention all the exhibit
tors would be out of the question. A
complete list of the prize winners is
given in the premium list in this pa
per. F. E. Witherell of the Edge
wood farm. Warwick, Mass, made the
largest exhibit, having "a varieties,
each variety being on a separate plate.
b. A. Whittemore of Guilford was a
close second, with IS varieties.
One of the most attractive exhibits
of apples was made by E. b. Barrows,
whose So varieties were widely COM
mented upon. ]. G. Stafford of West
Brattleboro and c. A. Evans of Clare
mont. n. H., each showed sc varieties,

Ivan of Brattleboro, 10 varieties, ]. e.
Sanderson of West Townshend showed
apples from tree which he said was
set out $50 years ago
A. A, Halliday & Sons of the Maple
dell fruit farm in Bellows Falls. pro-
fessional fruit growers, brought 26
varieties of plums and Is of pears in
addition to the apples already men,
toned. Their exhibit of plums and
pears was the largest made. They have
raised this year 300 bushels of plums
and 100 bushels of cherries. Their
exhibit was shipped from Brattleboro
to Burlington, having been selected by
the agricultural college for exhibition
to its students.
The one exhibit in the fruit depart
ment that attracted the widest atten-
ton was the exhibit of peaches from
the Maple Ridge fruit farm in Dunn
merston, j. A. Miller proprietor. They
were OF the liberia variety. Mr.
Miller has over 1000 trees in his orch,
ard, and they are so heavily laden that
