HIS EIGHT.YEAR TERM.
Pension Agent Hugh Henry Soon to Return
70 Vermont Home.

Hugh Henry Of Chester, pension agent foi
the district Of Vermont and New Hampshire
will soon have completed his eight.year term
in this office and be followed by Governor
A Curtice of Contoocook, n. II.
During the eight years of Judge Henry
incumbency there have been some marked
changes in the affairs of the office. AT the
beginning Of his term there were in the two
states 1896 pensioners. This number mas
been gradually decreased until there are now
about 16,40O During the first few years the
falling off was comparatively small, but the
last two years have seen the roll dwindle
rapidly.
The expenditures for the year ending at
the time Judge Henry assumed Office were
s3,o14,14s9o. Last year they were S2,63s,'
446.9o In 1898 Vermont had 1895 pension
ers and now has 1864.
This pension agency has one distinction
not possessed by any other in the United
States. 1t has on its rolls the widow of a
revolutionary soldier, Mrs. Esther S. Damon,
widow of Noah Damon Of Plymouth Union
She is 81 years old In addition to her
government pension, the Vermont Daughters
OF the Revolution have always voted her a
monthly allowance. Mrs. Damon's husband
was private serving in a Massachusetts,
command for about 90 months.
During his two terms as pension agent,
Judge Henry has made Concord n. H., his
residence and the people there generally re-
greet that he had decided to return to his
former home in Vermont, when his official
duties are brought to a close.

7. B. Terry, an institute lecturer of
some note, in an attack upon the Amer
lean Society of Equity, recently, made
the assertion that "any effort to com
bine the farmers so that they may
through such combination raise the
price of farm products is morally and
legally wrong Labor and capital
have combined to control prices;
scarcely an industry or profession can
be mentioned that has not organized
for this purpose. The farm implement
dealers meet and set prices. The mer-
chants, doctors, and tradesmen in al
most every little town have their local
organizations, meet, and agree upon
prices and fees. Spectators and
trusts have combined not only to set
the price on their own products, but
to control the products of the farmer
and stockman, yet so far as we have
ascertained, Mr.. Terry and the other
supremacy "wise' men who are so
overwhelmed with horror at the idea of
farmers organizing to secure equitable
prices for their own products, have
never uttered word in protest against
these Ubiquitous combinations. They
apparently believe that the farmer s
sole aim. in life should be to produce
large crops for the enrichment of the
organized gentlemen whose business it
is to speculate in farm products. He is
indeed patient burden bearer who
follows the lead of such teachers.

Evidence of Rebates on Sugar Freight.

Evidence of definite agreement between
the railroads running out of New York city
upon a division Of the sugar freight business,
and also the payment Of rebates, was given
before the United States grand jury at New
York city, March s. Representatives of w.
R. Hearst, the complainant in the case, de-
cared that the government was in possession
Of documentary proof on every point charged,
and that the United States district attorney s
Office was confident Of exposing the most
startling relations existing between carrying
and producing trusts. The Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western Railroad company Lowell
n. Palmer of the firm Of Havemeyer & Elder
Ga dock company and others, and the de-
PENDANTS in the principal rebate action and
other railroads figure in other proceedings.
Nearly every railroad with terminals in New
York or Jersey City is concerned in the
proceedings, and the heads and operating
officials are likely to be among those sub
poenaed to appear before the grand jury. At
torney- General Moody promises vigorous ac.
ton but believes judgment should await ac.
ton by the courts.

Pertinent Poultry Paragraphs.

Washing eggs opens the pores and
hastens decay,
Earliness is one of the main items in
raising broilers.
Hens that are fat and baggy are not
worth keeping.
While over-fat hens may, over-fed
hens will not lay eggs.
There is a greater need for variety
of food when hens are confined
The oily nature of the old ducks
feathers prevents their getting lice.
Eggs cannot be produced without nit
rogenous food in some shape. Bones
are absolutely essential.
AS general rule the larger the num-
Der of fowls kept the smaller the ex-
pense in proportion.
Pulverized charcoal mixed with soft
foods aids digestion and is an excel
lent preventive of disease.
The dust heap is very important
where the fowls are confined. If free
they may find the dust bath for them
selves.
Charcoal is good for poultry, having
healthful influence over the whole
system. They will eat much of it when
placed in reach.
The old setting hen is gradually 60
! ing out of business, with over hun
bred manufacturers of incubators and
brooders as competitors.
Charcoal is one of the most essential
articles in food in successful poultry
farming. Place ears of corn on cob in
oven until charred and then shell off
corn and feed to chickens. An imme-
date change will be noticed in the con-
dition of fowls and egg production

Fine Specimen of the Vermont Morgan

While in st. Adams | was invited by
Mr.. Charles ii. Place of that city 70
visit his stable and see his celebrated
Morgan stallion. Silver Allen.
Quite a number of gentlemen, among
whom was Governor C. J. Bell, were IN
the party. When the horse was led Out
for our inspection we at once saw tha'
he was indeed a great horse, as well as
true representative of the Morgan
breed. Silver Allen is a bay horse,
foaled in 1897. by Silver Bill, son OF
Star Ethan by Daniel Lambert, who
is said to have been one of the greatest
Morgan progenitors of speed of his day
Silver Allen s number is $3.50 in the
Morgan register He has long, How
ing, faxen name and tail, with the
Morgan part of the hair from between
the forelegs up under his long, slender
neck. His neck is an ideal one, being
arched and clean, but still showing
wonderful strength in its conformation.
His short but well-rounded back and
long, sloping hips show stamina and
there are evidences of life and intelli-
gence in every movement.
He possesses wonderful speed and &C.
ton. He is driven every day on the
road and has never been trained for
speed, but has been driven in road
wagon one-quarter of mile in 80 Sec
onds. Mr.. Place thinks he can easily
beat 2:15 with little training. He is
1872 hands high and weighs 1000
pounds In view the fact that the gov
eminent is taking up the matter of
improving the American horse and is
endeavoring to establish an American
type of the coach horse, as well as to
found class or breed of horses, best
fitted for cavalry purposes, these Nor
gan horses are attracting much atten-
ton. They the most truly represent
those qualities necessary to reach
these ends of any horses found in the
country, and it is fortunate for the
state of Vermont as well as for the
entire country that so many of them
are still to be found.
1t is understood that through the eff
forts of Senator Proctor the Vermont
Experiment station has been given a
large portion of this work. Suitable
land has been purchased for the pur-
pose on which ample buildings will be
erected in the spring. The work will
be done with that thoroughness for
which the station has become famous
along all lines it has undertaken, and
there can be no doubt but that grand
results will arise from it.

Expert trout fishermen say that
all conditions are favorable in this
state for excellent fishing during the
season which opens May |. An open
winter is always favorable for the
propagation of the fish as 1t not only
gives the mature trout better chance
to get feed, but also makes it easier
for the tiny fry, Matched from the egg
in the late fall, to survive the rigors
of an ice bound stream. When freez'
ing weather commenced last fall there
was an abundance of water in the
brooks and larger streams and at no
time during the winter have even the
little ,brooklets been frozen.

The Egg Question.

The problem of finding a CHEAP
poultry food that will increase egg
production during the winter when
eggs are high has been solved by those
farmers who purchase Green Cut Bone
and Meat for their poultry.

this article and this year is selling it

going without this staple poultry food.
If you cannot use barrel yourself,
get some of your neighbors to join in
with you. You will find it valuable as

NOT A PATENT MEDICINE.
Hyomei a Scientific Treatment for Ca
tarrh by Breathing Medicated Air.

Breathed through the pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, Hyomei
destroys all catarrhal germs in the air
passages of the throat and nose,
soothes and heals the irritated mucous
membrane, and effectually drives from
the system all traces of catarrhal poi
son.
No one should confound Hyomei
with the patent medicines that are adj
vertised as catarrh cures. 1t is as su.
perior to them all as the diamond is
more valuable than cheap glass.
The complete Hyomei outfit, consist
ing of neat pocket inhaler, medi-
cine dropper, and a bottle of HyOmei
costs but 81, and extra bottles can be
obtained for 80 cents, making it the
most economical method of curing ca
tarrh, as well as the most reliable.
George E. Greene has sold great
many Hyomei outfits and has seen such
remarkable results from its use, that
he sells it under an absolute guarantee
that it costs nothing unless it cures.
