sleighing more weeks In the year than
any other state of the Union. and to
prove this assertion related the fol-
lowing story:

time. who probably was the original

One Of his jokes used to run some
thing like this:

middle man would ask.
"Yes. am proud to say that I was

of Vermont" White would answer.
"You make pretty good maple sugar

extract concerning Mexican agricul-

producing sufficient to sustain It's

Niqht Yarding Cows.

From Farmers Review Il is got

vicinity to yard the cows at night.
For my eight. have about an acre
to yard in. One of my neighbors has
a lot of about two acres for twenty
cows. There should be access to
water. We find yarding cows more
profitable than letting them run in
the pasture. And cows under this
treatment give more regular amount
of milk. than when permitted to run
out, as they seem less excited.-H.
