The First Iron Ship.

The first iron ship has more reputed
birthplaces than Homer, according to
Chambers Journal. Both the Clyde
and the Mersey claim pre-eminence in
this respect. Sir e. j. Robson of Edin-
burgh designed an iron vessel in 1916,
which was not launched till three years
later and it is said that an iron boat
was worked on the Severn even as far
back as 1887. Steel was not used in the
construction Of merchant ships hulls
until 1859 Old salts were not alone in
their belief that wood was meant by
Providence to float, but iron to 60 to
the bottom. A naval constructor Of
some repute once said: Don't talk to
me of iron ships. They are contrary to
nature" Now none but small craft are
built Of wood in England.

Bradstreeps Vermont Weekly Trade
Report

From reports throughout the state to
Bradstreet's it appears the extremely dry
weather is having an unfavorable effect
upon vegetation which is backward TOR
the season OF year. Farmers, however
are able to improve the pleasant weather
in planting crops and they are well along
with the spring work. The manulactur.
ing business continues good in nearly all
lines with favorable prospects for the
| coming season. 1t is between seasons
tor the retail trade which, however. is re-
ported fair for the time of year. In the
country districts the roads are very
| dusty and farmers are not so much in
clined to visit the stores as they would
| be II the roads were in better condition.
Wholesalers in goods for which there is
usually steady demand find TRACE well
maintained, while jobbers in boots, shoes
and other lines which are more active
during certain seasons, are now quite
busy being confined largely to sizing up
stocks. Labor continues in good dc.
mand everywhere; there is but little dis
turoance IN the state from labor trou
oles. Much interest has been shown If
the liquor question as the saloons hav,
opened up for business in many cities anc

POOR COWS.

1t is stated upon the authority of the
dairy commissioner of Iowa that the
annual butter product of the average
COW of that state is only 1876 pounds or
just about enough to pay her board.
Inasmuch as many good dairymen are
doubling this yield, it follows that
somebody somewhere is keeping a lot
Of cows that are eating their heads off.
We are firmly Of the belief that this
poor yield Of butter is more the fault
of the ration fed than Of the COW, thou
sands of men keeping cows being
densely ignorant as to the kinds OF
food a COW needs in order to produce
milk, thinking they have done their
whole duty by her when they have
given her all the corn and hay she will
eat, not knowing that this ration is
about as productive of milk as the
hard heads on the roadside.

Praise for II. II. May.

The following notice of the Concord
musical festival appeared in the Boston
Herald and gives excellent praise to
Harry H. May for his part in the opera
OF Faust" 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. May took the part Of Valentine in

roles were sung by Miss Effie Stewart,
soprano; DR.. Ion Jackson, tenor; Mr..
Julian Walker, basso; Miss Lucie Tucker,
contralto, and Prof. Harry H. May,

received, but Mr.. May in the role of Val

astic reception, his work being excep.
tionally brilliant.

Ownership of Stage "Business.~

One of the peculiar things about a
copyrighted play is that any little piece
Of business or any new lines which
may be inserted in the manuscript
while stock company is playing the
drama belong thereafter to the man
who owns the copyright.
Every time a stock company rents a
play for production from the owner of
the copyright it is cut, interlined and
addedgto before it is produced. A stage
manager, for instance, may interpolate
some speeches in order to work I'D to
the Mtso6uc4ion Of song or specially,
or be may strengthen the climax by
psftfnG In some new and strong lines.
Qsta 6Gae snterpolated lines prove to
DO NE most striking in the play and
make decided hits. If they are left in
when the manuscript goes back to it's
owner, they become his property alb
solutely and may not be used by the
man who wrote them in any other pro-
auction; therefore shrewd managers,
before they return a play to it's owner,
always take great pains to erase every
scrap Of correction or interlineation.
In this way only may they keep what
really belongs to them.-Chicago Trib-
une.

HORsEFLESH AS FOOD.

We are asked the reason for the pref
udice against horse meat as an article
of food, when the horse is one of the
very ceanest of our domestic animals
both in diet and habit. We really do
not know. The old Mosaic ban which
by implication barred the horse can
hardly be the reason, when civilized
humanity so readily and eagerly ac-
cepts the hog as an article of food, and
that, too, with the hog explicitly for
hidden. We incline to the opinion that
the real cause is an honorable senti-
ment and not prejudice, the horse in
all history having been mans COM
panion and burden bearer, and thus
man is reluctant to devote his faithful
friend to such sordid and ignoble pur-
poses, Germany is working out this
problem for the world at large-starv-
ing herself to it, and may have to await
q passage at arms with some beef eat
ing nation to finally settle it. A world
of inhumanity and cruelty practiced in
connection with the horse would be
done away with if this almost univer-
sal prejudice against horsefesh as food
could be removed.

DAILY PAPER AND FARMER.

Three factors are at work through
many of the agricultural districts OF
the country to break through the shell
OF conservatism which has so long ell
veloped the farmers as a class-one, the
telephone; another, the rural mail de-
livery, and the third and not least, the
advent of the daily paper in his home.
Heretofore he has been at least week
removed from the stirring events of the
day and so failed to take that interest
In the worlds work the man does who
is in daily touch with it. The change
wrought by these agencies is becoming
very manifest and is wholly in the line
of making the farmer a broader and
more intelligent man.
