coaxed him to try it, and he received
a bushel of letters, finally selling the bull
for $1,000, and had to send back several
drafts to those who were too late with
their money. He made $4,000 by the
investment or 500 per cent Last ad-
tumn we had AGO bushels of fine two
rowed Bavarian barley to sell All the
buyers in this vicinity would pay was
soc. A small advertisement in the
"Dairyman" has sold 430 bushels at
$1.25 per bushel0 A few years ago we
persuaded three farmers near this city,
who had each half-dozen or so nice
Jersey and Guernsey heifer calves, to
advertise them. Answers came from
dozen states, and they all went in a
bunch to a purchaser in Idaho. Far
mers do not often enough try to CO.
operate in this way. Somebody must
come along and urge them into it.
Good profit can often be made on pro-
ducts of the farm, like seed, grain,
dairy cattle, well-bred pigs and fowls,
by advertising them in a good farm
paper, and especially in the local paper.
The paper is a go-between that should be
used more than it is Farmers should
use good business judgment as well as
merchants and manufacturers. 1t is
more than half the battle to be good
seller.-Hoard's Dairyman, Fort Atkin-
son, Wis.
We could cite many instances where
farmers who have gotten out of the old
ruts and are not afraid to try approved
modern methods, have sold their surplus
products through little advts in this
paper. One farmer had lot of nice
pigs to sell and took his team and spent
two days in trying to sell them. Not
succeeding he thought of this paper and
put in little two-line for sale ad. cost
ing 20c. In two days after paper was
issued every pig was sold. Another had
a lot of nice seed potatoes and could only
get market price offered. A little want
adj. costing 81 sold them at $1.25 d
bushel. 1t would pay farmers to use the
For Sale columns of their local paper:
for anything they have to sell. Buyers
would then seek them, instead of theil
seeking the buyers, and that makes {
world of difference Jim the price you get
If you want anything, advertise for it

ALANSON NORTON,

Alanson Norton died at his home in
Leicester Thursday evening" Jan. 14th,
1904, and was buried from the same
place the following Sunday afternoon,
Rev. R. l.. Thompson, officiating.
Mr. Norton was born in Addison, April
IA, 1912. His parents, Abel and Mabel
Norton, had removed to that place, from
Clifford, Conn, with three small children
being guided in their journey by notches
in trees, and carrying all their goods on
bob-sleigh drawn by oxen. Alanson was
the youngest of fourteen children. On
Sept. Goth, 1886, he was married to Miss
Mary Wooster, of Brandon, who shared
with him the joys and sorrows of life for
more than siXty-five years, being laid to
her rest Jan. 9Th, 1904. Fifty-five years
ago Mr. Norton came to Leicester where
he spent the remainder of his life He
established the reputation of being thor
oughly honest, intensely warm hearted
and unselfish. He was richly endowed
with energy and judgement. He was an
ardent republican, voting that ticket
without an exception from the organiza
ton of the party until the last national
election when his enfebled condition
made it impossible. His moral courage
on all questions was as great as his physi
cal. He always stood for the right His
patriotism was unbounded. He served
in Co. X. 18th Vermont regiment of
heavy artillery in the Civil war for one
year and nine months, receiving an hon
orable discharge. He was good soldier
not only performing faithfully the duties
detailed to him, but also sharing the
burdens and labors of others. His love
| for Gods word was uppermost in his
companion and at the advanced age of 80
years he was reading it without the aid
of glasses.
Rev. Mr.. Thompson spoke words of
consolation from The word of God is
spirit and truth. a quartet that went
up from Brandon sang Rock of Ages
and "Nearer My God to Thee, and at
the close, "Wheh the Roll is Called in
Heaven I'll be There. Mr.. Thompson
at the close remarked that a man who
had always cherished Gods word and
taught his children to, had no fear of
death. His chief concern has been dur
ing the past few years that he might
answer to the Roll Calf in that army
in which there is no discharge.
Seven children survive him, J. w.

ner of Taunton, Mass, Mrs Julia E.

7 OBITUARY.
Death of CYRUS C.. Mvrick.

News has reached us of the death Of
Cyrus Gardner Myrick, former resident
of Middlebury, at his home in LIE Sueur,
Mimi, Jan. 8, 1904, in his S7th year. He
was the Oldest of family of eleven, and
his two surviving sisters are Mrs. r. S,
Kellogg of Cream Hill and Miss Alkaline
Myrick of Middlebury.
The Sentinel, of lie Sueur, Mimi. of
Jan. IS, says The deceased, one of the
pioneers of lie Sueur, was born at Middle
bury, Vt, on April 26, 1917. He was
educated at Middlebury college, and at
Norwich Military academy, from which
latter institution he graduated. In the
Canadian rebellion, while yet cadet, he
helped drill the Canadian troops. During
the Mexican war he served under Gen.
Scott and was at Vera Cruz. He also
studied law and was admitted to the bar
in his native state. In 1855, owing to
poor health he came west and to Mime
sofa, with the idea in view of finding
employment as a civil engineer with
some railroad company. Arrived at lie
Sueur, however, he found employment
as surveyor awaiting him and located
here, where he has since remained, being
for more than twenty years county sur
veyor. He taught school here for a
number of years, and was in fact the
teacher of the first school at LIE Sueur.
| During the Indian outbreak he Joined
the volunteer defenders of New Ulm
remaining during that trying ordeal
inside the city. On Nov. 30, 1860, he
was married to Miss Margaret Kueuhen-
meister who now survives him. To
them were born three daughters, Mrs.
II. Winterer of Valley City, N. d., Mrs.
w. Russell of Hart, Mich. and Miss
Harriet Myrick, of the faculty of our
city schools, all of whom survive him.
He was the Oldest of a family of eight,
two of whom, his sisters, survive him
also. Although of an extreme age, his
death was due to paralysis, which over
took him one week prior to his death.
Cyrus Myrick was not given to advertis-
ing himself and many who knew him
for years were unaware of his attain
ments. Down to the day of his death he
kept himself familiar with the Greek and
Latin, by constant study and reading,
and to his daughters, his cultivated, well
stored mind, was as a fountain of knowl-
edge from which they drank continually.
without doubt the best educated and
most cultivated mind in the city, he led
a retired quiet life for many years, and
for the past ten years or so has not
mingled to any extent with his fellow
men. Some five years ago he visited the
scene of his boyhood days and experienced
most delightful reunion with those OF
his relatives then living. For many
years he was member of the Episcopa
church, having held many church officia
positions therein.

We're All Riqht,

We recall a story about a baby who
had always, in the few months of his
existence, been kept in room where a
little gas burned at night, Once he
opened his eyes on utter darkness. AT
first he showed great terror at the new
and unknown blackness. Then he real
lied his own personal immunity from
whatever catastrophe might have en-
veloped the world and cried out reassur-
ingly, "Baby's all right" Looking
across at Asia today, we feel consider
ably like that baby. All kinds of disas-
ter may lurk in the clouds in that
direction, but not for us. War or no
war, alliances or single foes, victory for
Russia or Japan, the United States of
America can feel its body and be as
sured that all is about the same. Our
security is due primarily to fortune and
geography. 1t is increased, however,
by the judgement and astuteness of our
pilot in foreign affairs. If Mr.. Hay
should suddenly expire, and the delicate
business of fencing with clever dipo-
matists were intrusted to Mr.. Roosevelt
himself, for instance, or to some one
equally dependent upon luck for diplo-
matte safety, a certain tremulousness
would take the place of our serenity.
If an INFESTED Democratic candidate
next, his choice of a cabinet would be
observed with serious concern. Perhaps
a really enlightened Democrat would
endeavor to retain Mr.. Hay, who has
man. The secretary's present handling
of Eastern matters has equalled any of
his performances in the past. lie takes
everything he can get for this country,
while risking nothing. By closing "a
treaty with China by cable and sending
consuls to the treaty ports in Manchuria,
he has made the open door "A reality,

however insincere, are a complete

they have been outplayed. From the
day when he insisted, in face of general
incredulity, that the legations were still
safe in Picking, down to this. latest out

cleverest diplomatic gamester in Europe,
Mr.. Hays cautious boldness has been
one series of triumphs. In only one
instance have we been discounted in oul
foreign negotiations-in the case, name,

affair is generally believed to have been
handled by the President. -Colliers

The February Everybody's has another
first class "scoop"-nothing less than a
statement of what the Democratic Party
now stands for, by the new leader of the
Democracy in the House-Congressman
John Sharp Williams. There could be
no more valuable contribution to the
approaching Presidential controversy
than this definite avowal of principles
by the distinguished leader whose clever
work in Congress has attracted so much
attention. Another competent feature
is Emory r. Johnson's explanation of
"What the Panama Canal will do for
the Country" The author is a member
of the Isthmian Canal Commission who
devoted his attention to collecting the
statistics which should demonstrate the
economical value of the great waterway,
and he is the chief expert in America on
his subject. If excellence in magazine
making consists'in combining authority
with entertainment, this February
Everybody's should find even greater
favor than its predecessors. In addition
to the foregoing, there are ten stories
one in verse-and good virile stories
with plots in them, at that.

Farmers Should Advertise.

The farmer pays but little attention to
advertising. He is not used to it, and
has not good judgment as to what it will
do for him. A few years ago a neighbor
had fine, four year-old Guernsey bull
that he wanted to sell to prevent in
breeding. All that the stock yards peo-
pie in this city would pay for the animal
was $40. We told him that the stock
yard was no market for breeding ami
mails The men to sell that kind of stock
to were the men who want them for
breeding purposes We suggested a
small advertiser, mt in the ''Dairyman,"
but when we told him it might cost him
$500, he took fright at once. He could
not look beyond that $500. Finally we
