AN EDITORS VIEW OF FARMING
He Probably Never Tried to Do the
Trick Himself

Abandoned New England farms arc
being gradually taken up by an ele.
ment of population who, either with
the economical farming ideas of Er.
, rope are making them profitable by
raising something else than hay. or
, those who desire a pleasant home.
Scores OF Vermont and New Hamp-
shire farms have been abandoned by
their owners as Improbable. These
places are now being redeemed ana
beautified, mostly by women. Among
the foothills of the White mountains
several beautiful homes have Leen To-
Gated on land hitherto REGARDED az
calueless. Foreign immigrants have
bought a number of these places and
with diversity of crops made them
profitable. That seems to have been
the great trouble with the average
New England farmer-he has run AL
most entirely to hay. An enterpris.
ing American woman who took up one
OF the abandoned claims and quit her
profession by reason of bad health.
has become the proprietor of one
place which she has beautified and
from which she is making a hand.
some income. She has put dormel
windows in the quaint old homestead,
fitted the house with furniture of the
colonial style and placed odd oil
paintings on the wall. She raises
quantity of fruit and vegetables on
quality, has adotei fancy
name for her place, and finds ready
market for everything she has for
sale.
In another part of New England
young woman, who is an amateur ar
fist, has converted an abandoned farm
into an all-year-round home of such
elegance and proportions as to sug-
gest an English estate. Landscape

gardening is conspicuous feature
of her undertaking. She raises cat
tie, horses and sheep on consider
able scale, and goes so far as to have
her wool woven into fabrics and de-
signs of her own selection.
1t would seem from the evidence in
these cases that it is not the fault of
the land or its unproductiveness
which causes the farmer to abandon
his holdings, but rather the lack of
ideas and continual adherence to the
ancient ideas of a single crop. Few
farms are now located so far from
centers of population that trucking
cannot be made profitable, and with
chickens, turkeys and eggs man can
readily find a good market. With
trolley lines penetrating every section
and markets near at hand, the New
England farmer should awaken to
conditions and progress with his ur-
Tan neighbers.-New London Day.

ST. AGNES EVE.

st. Agnes Eve, celebrated on the
night of January 90, was formerly
special holiday for women. A girl on
the eve of the virgin-martyr's day was
empowered by divination, to see her
future husband in her dreams. On
this superstition John Keats founded
his poem, The Eve of st. Agnes"
which he wrote in 1918. st. Agnes,
tradition tells us, was a Roman girl
who suffered martyrdom during the
great Diolectian persecution, January
81, A. d. 303. Upon the place of her
execution church was built without
the vans of Rome, which is still exist
ing In this basilica, founded in honor
of st. Agnes of Constantine, on jan
uary u a commemoration service is
celebrated, in which two lambs, typi-
cal of the purity oft he young martyr,
are blessed at the altar. Their wool
is used afterward to make the pallium,
the sign of Episcopal jurisdiction, for
the Pope, which is consecrated before
it is worn by being deposited in gold
en- urn upon the tomb of St. Peter.
Tennyson published the following
poem in 1912:
Deep on the convent roof the SHOWS
Are sparkling to themoon
My breath to heaven like vapor goes;
May my soul follow soonl
The shadows of the convent towers
Slant down the snowy sward
Still creeping with the creeping hours
That lead me to my Lord
Take Thou my spirit pure and clear
AS are the frosty skies,
Or this first snowdrop OF the year
That in my Losom lies.
AS these white robes are solid ano
dark,
To yonder shining ground;
AS this pale taper's earthly spark,
To yonder argent round;
So shows my soul before the Lamb,
My spirit before Thee;
So in mine earthly house | am,
To that hope to be.
Break up the heavens, 0 Lord! AMI
far,
Thro' all yon starlight keen,
Draw me, thy bride, a glittering star,
| In raiment white and clean.
He lifts me to the golden doors;
| The flashes come and go;
All heaven bursts her starry floors
| And strows her lights below,
And deepens on and up the gates
Roll back, and far within
For me the Heavenly Bridegroom
waits,
To make me pure of sin.

Has Never Been Altered.

The revenue marine service flag, au.
thorized by act of congress March 2
1893, was originally prescribed to
consist of sixteen perpendicular
stripes, alternate red and white, the
union Of the ensign bearing the arms
of the United States in dark blue on
a white field" The sixteen stripes
represented the number of states
which had been admitted to the union
at that time, and no change has been
made since. Prior to 1871 it bore ali
eagle in the union pennant, which was
then substituted by thirteen blue stars
in a white field, but the eagle ana
stars are still retained in the flag

Tribute to Senator Mcmillan.

successor to the republican leader of
the opposition of the last session to
the enactment of a primary election

the place of A. M. Oong) Jones of
Waukesha, introduced primary cleo
ton bill into the senate tonight, not
withstanding the fact that the last
democratic state platform declared
against the primary election princi-
pie. Senator Merton is known to be
a friend of the administration, at
least in regard to primary elections
His bill contains some features of
those that have been introduced by
the administration members of the
ssembly-Andrew and Frear-and
has the precise voting system of the
Frear bill, in which there is provided
a separate ballot box as receptacle
for the discarded tickets, thus pre-
serving the secrecy of the vote. It
also provides for a state convention
to formulate the platform, a nomina-
ton petition Of per cent of the
party vote at the last preceding gen
eral election, the nomination of Unit
ed States senators by primary cleo
ton. 1t further provides: "No per-
