Where Farming Paid.

A Caledonia county correspondent of
the New England Farmer contributes the
following interesting and encouraging
sketch OF farm life in Vermont.
Ayoung man of 81, who had helped
his father until OF age, hired out to a
good farmer at $40 month some IL
years ago, working two years and saw
ing three-iourths OF his wages. After two
years OF service he purchased the farm Of
about IT'S acres OF the man he worked
Tor, agreeing to pay fer the farm, tools
and stock, except horses, Sc 900, giving
his note payable $500 yearly and interest
at six per cent.
He married, saved money enough to
pay the minister the proper fee for his
services, and purchased a good pair
oihorses tor farm work. His especial
attention was given to the dairy, taking
the cream to the local creamery to be
manufactured into butter on the cooper.
alive plan, raising calves enough to keep
the dairy good, but not paying much
attention to the growth otpork except
what swine the SKINNED milk would iced
with small addition of meal or bran.
His herd was grade Jerseys, none OF the
fancy priced but all very good cows. He
cut bis hay early, usually two crops, and
had silo we'll filled with slage of not
over large growth, raising oats enough
to exchange for what cotton seed or
bran needed; in fact, raising thereby all
the feed consumed on the farm, carefully
carrying out his plan, diligent in his bust
ness but not forgetting his duties as a
good citizen in aiding to support all
things that helped to make good society,
supporting his church while making the
home surroundings of the right character.
In ten years time $1,000 have been
laid out in charging and improving the
house and barns; tour children have come
to them to add to their prosperity, and
the farm was all paid for two years ago.
This farmer and his family have so con.
Quoted themselves that they have bad
their share OF enioyments while busy in
their work. and now, while young in
years, all with good health, in a happy
and prosperous home, they can enjoy
and add to the fruit of their labors as
they will.

The Strenu-
Gus Life
Results in Stomach Troubles and
Physical Breakdown. W. B.
Eastman Offers Simple Remedy.

The strenuous lite of modern times
forces people to rush through their meals
hastily, hurrying from the table in the
mad rush after the almighty dollar.
The result is incomplete digestion,
Inflammation of the walls of the
stomach, and lack of secretion OF the
gastric juices, enoing in chronic stomach
trouble and nervous breakdown.
How much better it would be to eat
more slowly, cure the stomach trouble
with Mi o-na, and soon regain perfect
health. The headaches, sleeplessness,
nervous troubles, pain after eating,
specks before the eyes, backaches,
melancholy and gloomy foreboding
would be soon overcome and perfect
health and strength would be restored.
So reliable is Mona in curing all
forms of stomach weakness and troubles
that W. B. Eastman gives a signed
guarantee that the remedy will cost
nothing unless it cures. Each box of Mi
o.na sells for so cents, and is invaluable
to any one who suffers with indigestion,
nervousness or weak stomach.

our musicians at Bradford.

St. Johnsbury furnished number OF
..t;sts for the musical festival at Brad
lord which was under the direction of
Harry H. May ofConcord, former we'll
Known singer here. Those from this
Jointly who sang in the chorus were
Mrs Harry H. May OF Concord, Edward
KINGSLEY of St. Johnsbury, Misses Nelson
and Beaton of South Ryegate, Miss
crthrie of South Peacham. The soloists
were Mrs. Harry M, Cross, Mrs. Don c.
stiles. W. B. Atwood and Harold 0.
French of St. Johnsbury, and Harry
Wakefield Of Lyndonville. Our readers
u;ll he interested in that portion of the
Bradford Opinions report Of the festival
which refers to the success of the st.
Tohnsbury artists;
"Friday afternoon, all the soloists, as
well as the entire chorus were present
and the program was further assisted by
the presence of Young's Orchestra OF St.
Iohnsbury. The orchestral numbers, in-
ending the violincello solo by Mrs.
Young, added greatly to the pleasure of
the afternoon. The chorus also did very
GOOD work. Miss Hale was cordially
greeted and the three short solos which
composed her number took exceedingly
we'll. Mr.. Wake6eld's part was also well
received. Mrs. Stiles contralto solo was
artjstically done, and she was tavorite
with her hearers. Mrs. Cross made her
first bow before Bradford audience at
this concert, and her clear, high and
finely trained soprano voice was delight
to hear Too much praise could not be
bestowed upon her work. The audience
was very enthusiastic over her singing,
and her evident love of music and her
willingness to respond to encores made
her very popular. We shall hope to hear
her again in Bradford.
"The miscellaneous first part OF the
Friday evening concert included Mrs.
Cross and Mrs. Stiles as vocal soloists.
Both singers were greeted with applause
as they made their appearance. The
orchestra did excellent work, the violin
solo by Mr.. Young being immensely en-
loved. The clarinet solo by Mr.. Moore
received strenuous encore. The sextette
from Lucia was as fine bit of musical
work as has been done on our stage in
years. All the parts were well sustained
and the melody an old favorite. The
statement that this number received the
warmest welcome of all, probably would
not be challenged. The Rose Maiden
under MIR. Mays direction, was very we'll
done, and the musical score OF this popu-
lar cantata. while not new, is always
heard with pleasure"

WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 9th, 1905.
TONGRESS is now in quiescent state.
- 1t is conceded that the ''insurrec-
tion" in the House, if it ever had any
real foundation, has broken down. The
joint statehood bill will pass unless some
thing very unforeseen happens to prevent,
and the House rate bill, which it is con-
ceeded embodies the Presidents ideas
more than do the several Senate bills,
viii go to conference and get trimmed as
sure as there is conference. The Senate
is not in the habit of giving up to the
House and while there has been some
talk Of the House standing pat" on the
rate bill, it is not thought that it will.
Possibly this estimate of the House sta
nina may be wrong, but there will be
more chance to tell at the end of next
Week.

One of the most futile bills of national
importance that have been introduced
into the Senate for long time is that OF
Senator Overman to appoint commission
to study foreign trade conditions with a
view to increasing the American foreign
market. Now Senator 0yerman ought to
know, everyone else does, that the De-
partment of Commerce aud Labor, the
Treasury aud even the Department of Aa-
ricuIture are full of the very information
that he would send commission abroad
to obtain, The magazines aud the news
papers have been full for some years past
Of facts and figures, much Of the magazine
material written by such men as Frank
Vanderlip and Mr.. Conant who have
made study of the subject and whose
conclusions are of more value than those
of the most politically appointed commits
sions The information is AL at IIard,
but the thing that is needed is the reform
in the consular service which has been
urged by the State Department and
by the very Senate of which Mr..
Overman is member, and there is needed
an awakening on the part of American
manufacturers WHO have yet to grasp the
first principles of world business. The
time is rapidly approaching when Amer
lca will have to capture world markets to
keep up the standard OF national prosper
ity that has been set in the past decade.
But the information is already in hand
and world markets will not be captured
by appointing fresh commissions at COM
fortable salaries to find out what is already
known at home.
