vERMoNT's NEED.
Up-to-date Farmers Say Special Is Just
What State Wants.

Sutton, April 1s.-I. @. Vail, manager
Of the big Lyndonville farm Of his broth
er, Theodore y. Vail, the telephone mag,
nate, said yesterday Of the Better
Farming special train:
u"yermppt farming lsRd ia as good
al any is this country, but not ali YER
mont farming il good. largely | think,
secaase Of the esse with which Il fair
crop can be secured has made them too
easy going and satisfied with only a
far living.
"Mhen | was out in Iowa the Nrr4
mont farmers who came there were alert,
intelhgent and crowded into the farm
ers' special trains to learn all that was
new in their calling. They made mon,
ey. II was supposed there that all
Vermont farmers were like them, but
when i came here there was o differ
ence. 0f late, though, they have been
waking up here, and you see by this
Lyndonyille crowd that they have the
ambition 10 get something better.
"There is just ms good a chance right
here in the Pass,mpsic valley to raise
a record crop as anywhere in the world.
Such crops are raised right in this town
on individual farms, and the same could
lie done on all. The FEELING that this
can be done is becoming widespread
among the younger people at least. only
they don't know how. The farming
they have learned filed the farmers
cellars and barns. but the kind they
want to learn Ais their own cellars and
barns and the storehouses in the city
as we'll.
THE old fellows viii laugh at this
train as full OF theory. but you notice
that the young men and the prosperous
middle-aged are not losing word of
what Is said. They had read little
OF the new idea and profted They
want a. much more A. they can ret.
Mr.. Vail is an outsider who came to
Vermont. Thsddeus l.. Kinney, one of
the lecturers ON The train, is born
and bred Nermonter. and reputed, at
least in Vermont. To be the largest APP.
pie grower in View England. He says;
"You talk with the people along here
and they will tell Won that II Is not

be a. good for apples as any part Of
New England, from actual experience.
All these side hills going to waste could
la covered with orchards. 50 far as the
climate and soil are concerned Yet the
farmers 90 right on raising a few cows.

corner Of their farms, just as has been
done since Vermont was state. Not
a few only, but great majority. Is
il any wonder that they crowd into Il

My Atonement

my sorrow, that he was struggling with

DO You realize that pain is
weakening, and cxhausts your

how completely worn out you
felt after that last attack of
headache, neuralgia, backache,

fering? Nearly every case of
inflammation, apoplexy, paral-
ysis, epilepsy and insanity is
directly due to the weakening
influence Of pain upon the
