without the building up steps, the labor

WHEN FARMING PAYS.

As if to champion the cause OF farm
Ing in Vermont when statistics are be-
ginning TO show d trend toward the de-
yeiopment of the manufacturing side OF
the state, W. w. Iiigbec of Charlotte
contributes most interesting article
10 the Burlington Free Press. Mr.. Hig-
bee asks and answers what he calls that
hystcrieaI Inquiry as TO whether or
not farming pays in Vermont. lie calls
the question absurd, as absurd, in fact,
as to ask Il anything pays Of course
farming pays. But 10 determine il the
individual farmer gets adequate returns
from his money and labor it win be
necessary TO ask with MIR. IIigbee, "What
kind Of a farmer are yout7 and then
the answcr.will be easily given. There
can be successes and failures in filling
the soil as there can be successes and
failures in every other walk OF life, but
happily the number is not large. 0cca
sioHaliv one reads that Vermont farm
er has filed petition IN bankruptcy,
although the instances are not numerous.
The fact is that there is a greater chance
for gaining livelihood on farm than
in any other occupation, but there is
not the chance to gain 50 wide d margin
Of profits, except in extreme cases An
extreme case, we should say. Is the H.
ustration which Mr.. Higbee gives in
support of his argument that farming
does pay. 1t il the case Of Charlotte
farmer who MIXED dairy Of twenty
seven cows in 1905; his income from
thoss COWS in creamery checks and veal
sold was over $50 per COW, or total
Of si,ee3 from the whole number during
the year. Then to be added to get the
accurate results was the income from
pork fattened by milk from the cream
cry; be got 500 for that. That was
only one department Of the farm activ-
ity-for farming i full Of departments.

MILLIONAIRE CHOIR.

London music lovers have been list
ening recently to what may he de-
scribed as the most remarkable vocal
organization in the world-Tthe 'Wie-
ner Mannergesang Verein," or Vienna
Male Choir.
1t is no eXaggeration to describe the
Vienna organization as "choir of
millionaires." for among its 800 mem
bers it numbers more men of wealth
than probably any other private COM
pany in tn eworld. One of it's leaders.
Herr Krupp. of the famous gunmak-
ing firm. is worth 100000 900 at the
lowest estimate, while there are at
,east 50 other members each of whom
claims from 100000 to $4,000. 900
in his own right. AS a matter of fact,
practically every member is worth
not less than $500, 900, the majority
being nearer s1,OOO.0OO than under
ii.
Here, for example. is list of some
of the most prominent members of
the choir, together with the amounts
of their fortunes:
