FOUR QUARRIES
CONSOLIDATED
BY THIS DEAL ;
BARRE IN 1920.
Was Quite Hustling Community Even
in Those Days.

Mrs. ]. Henry jackson has copy
of Zadock Thompson's "a Gazateer Of
the State OF Vermont" published in
1924 by the author and +. p. Walton
of Montpelier. The volume has been
preserved in three generations of Mrs.
Jackson's family.
The sketch Of Barre in the little book
furnishes some interesting facts.
Thompson says that the township was
granted Nov. 8, 1850, TO William Will
liams and his associates, and chartered
by the name Of Wildersburgh. 1t re-
tanned this name till the year 1893,
when it was altered, by act OF the leg
islature, to that Of Barre 1t states
that in 1888 Samuel Rogers of Brad
ford and John Goldsborougr Of Hartland
moved into this town and began con-
verting the wilderness into farms" The
town was largely settled by people from
Worcester county, Mass, New Hamp-
shire and Connecticut.
Thompson mentions three epidemics
in Barre, OF scarlet fever in 1895, Of
spotted fever in 1911, and Of ~pneumon-
lac typhoidesv in 1912. But he con-
cludes that since then, with few excep-
tions, the people have been remarkably
healthy"
Granite in Milestone and Cobble hills
was known then, as Thompson
speaks Of the "inexhaustible quarries
Of excellent granite, which is used as
building stone, and wrought into mill
stones, which are transported to differ
ent parts Of this state, and to New
York and Canada The methods of
getting it out was by means Of drills
Thompson speaks Of mineral spring
near Jail branch, (which has been a
place of some resort for Veterinarians
but has never had the fame of effecting
any wonderful cures"
Barre's business was quite extensive
even in those days. There were four
stores, two taverns, three grist mills,
two of which may be reckoned among
the best in the state" five saw mills,
three clover mills, two WOODEN factories,
two clothiers' works, two cabinet shops,
two tanneries, seven blacksmith shops
and one pottery.

Nerve of a Wounded Soldier.

been shot in the neck near the carotid

Suddenly the blood vessel gave way,
and just as quickly the surgeon
thrust his finger into the hole to stop
the flow.

does that mean?"
''It means DEATH" said the surgeon,
calmly.
"How long can 1 liver" asked the

PAYS TO RAISE COLTS.

It will pay any farmer to raise one
or two colts of the draft type each sea-
son, declares the Farmers Voice.
Breed the mares to heavy sires, and
those of the colts that mature above
1900 pounds should be disposed OF
and the lighter ones retained for farm
use. Horses of the heavy type are
and will be in good demand at remun-
erative prices for years to come.

FARM NOTES

symmetrically developed hog is
the profitable porker.
The bacon hog doesn't stay a ba-
con hog very long on a corn diet.
Seven Or eight pigs to the litter is
the proper caper. if you will just save
and raise them.
Pigs in clover is a pretty good pro-
position to tie to, but alfalfa will
discount it right along-try it.
A runty pig may be properly defined
as one that eats its head off about
three or four times in one year.
The hog pen is the logical banking
institution on the farm, and the farm
er can draw on his account any day
in the year.
INCREASINGLY at it is the successful
hogman's motto. You can't make the
most of the pigs and slight them rur
one single day.
In handling poultry system counts
for much. Never trust to luck. Plan
your work and then live up to the
plans 365 days in the year.
For variety in feeding fowls give a
little fresh meat. Onions are good for
fowls of any kind. During the winter
when green food is scarce, feed po-
tatoes, cabbage or beets.
Convenience should be one of the
first thoughts when constructing a
poultry house. Everything should be
arranged so as to allow its work to
be done in the shortest space of time.
As a rule reasonably early shearing
is best for the sheep, but if sheared
early they must be protected should
a sudden change to cold weather
come, as is sometimes the case.
When horses are not thrifty it may
be due to sameness of diet.
If an animal gets out ofcondition,
appears run down and does not relish
its food, little faxseed boiled in oats
and fed two quarts at a time for
a few days, will soon give him a good
appetite.
Look oout for vertigo, a disease of
the brain. The flows act as though
intoxicated, sometimes turning in a
circle. The best treatment is an ap
plication of ice to the head; after
ward, says poultry authority, the
bowels should be opened with either
of the following purgatives: Calomel
one and one-half grains, or EPSON
salts, thirty grains. Keep the bird
in cool, quiet place.

THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL.

Rroderic anglaise curtains for win
dow drapery are the latest develop
ment of the craze for this style OF
embroidery
Venetian blinds are daily growing
in favor and are the only really con-
sistent thing for Colonial rooms.
A novelty that has both newness
and attractiveness is called Norman
dy furniture. This is delightfully."- ar
tistic-pleasing in coloring and style
and strikingly new.
Adjustable valances are the very
latest new idea in lace curtains.
These curtains are finished at the
top with heading like valance and
have loops at the back that can quick
" and easily be attached to a pole
or have a brass rod run through them.
Chains are new feature in furni-
ture decoration that are at least
odd They are used to hang lamps
from. swinging tables and to hold
back draperies. Some of the finer
chains are quite effectively used as
fringes for mosaic and colored glass
lamp shades.
Folding fireplace screens of brass,
finished either bright or dull, are
very fashionable at present. They
may also be had of a cheaper metal,
finished in black or gilt.
For the cen or small room in the
modern apartme Mt hanging tables are
very convenient These add quite
little to the attractiveness of certain
style rooms and decidedly economic
space. They are suspended by orna-
mental chains.
Tiles or brick work for mantels
these days, are put up with very wide
joints between.
Colonel effects are the rage of the
hour in the house furnishing world.
but when adopting it discretion and
good taste should rule. 1t is a great
mistake to reproduce the tasteless
features of Colonial furnishings just
because they are Colonial or old
timey.
Things are not beautiful merely be-
cause they are old. All Sheraton,
Chippendale. or Heppelwhite chairs
and tables are not to be coveted. All
three of these famous cabinet-makers
were guilty of ugliness, and Chippen-
dale especially easily swayed by the
prevailing rage for Chinese gliding
and acquiring.
