E, A. Darling, at East Burke, VT. A de-
lightiul drive of five miles from the rail
road station at Lyndonville, winding
around among the hills, nearly all the
way up grade, brought lis to a high
altitude in the midst of the far-famed
Green Mountains.
Mr.. Darling very kindly showed us
through his mansion, now nearly COM
pleted and as much of his beautiful
/ farms as time would permit. He selected
the site for his mansion on the summit
OF hill near his birthplace and the view
from his house is grand, For many
miles in all directions you look over the
beautiful landscape, a part Of which is
primeval forest and many cultivated
farms.
East of the house IS a high mountain,
containing about 1900 acres, covered
with spruce timber which was recently
purchased by Mr.. Darling. Farms
adjoining the original homestead have,
from time to time, been purchased until
now Mr., Darling, we think, is the
! largest owner of farm land in the state
of Vermont. Marked improvements
have been going on for many years.
The clean, well cultivated fields, the
enormous barns, so convenient and COM
plete in their arrangements for the care
and comfort of the large herd of Jerseys,
ample hay lofts for the storage of $50
tons of hay cut this year on the farm,
with spacious sheds for the housing of
farm implements, the long stretches of
board fences, neatly painted in keeping
he htti1 ha hD,,,,+,c,I
OF water from never-failing springs, so
admirably arranged for the comfort of
the cattle and convenience in caring for
them, are evidence of the wise plans of
Mr.. Darling and his brother, who lives
on the farm and gives his personal atten-
ton to the management.
At the time we were there, about 200
head Of Jerseys were on the farms. We
understand that it is Mr.. Darling's in
tentlon to add more American Jersey
Cattle club cows in the near future. At
the head of this great herd is a fine
young bull, son of the famous Interested
Prince, owned by Mr. R. A. Sibley, pro-
prietor of Moosehill Farm, Spencer
Mass.
Several months ago, Interested Prince
was shipped to Franklin, Pa, to be
bred to great cows in the herd of Miller
q Sibley. Individually, Interested
Prince is one of the finest mature bulls |
have ever seen, and he is descendant of
the Interest family, the greatest family
ior milk and butter ever known on the |
Island of Jersey. 1t was wise move on
the part of Mr.. Darling in selecting a son
OF this famous bull for use in his herd.
There is modern, well-kept dairy near
the farmhouse in which, for the most
part of the year, butter is made For a

Mark Twain'S Advice.

Spectators in stocks on margins and
all holding stocks as collateral on loans
were given Jar last week which they
will not soon forget The market had
acted soft through the week until Thurs
day it took such drop as has not been
seen on Wall street since the Northern
Pacific panic of the spring Of 1901. The
newspapers and Lawson have been busy
ever since trying to explain the cause.
Of course Hartman gets the most blame,
the great German banker now in this
country declaring that the Union Pacific
dividend episode of last fall had alarmed
the foreign investors. Mr.. Morgan,
who is on the high seas, was also
blamed, and the railroad interests
blamed the President. In the meantime
it was all over; the market had sud
den reaction on Friday and the country
as a whole is in a splendid economic con-
dition. And Mark Twain's advice still
holds good: March is a mighty poor
month to speculate in. And the other
months are April, May, June, July,
August, September, October, November,
December, January and February

few months cheese is made, all of which
is shipped to the Fifth Avenue Hotel in
New York City. There are three sugar
births and quantities of Vermonts
famous maple syrup are made and sent
to the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
Near the Jersey barn are located ex-
tenslve horse barns for the breeding and
development of Morgan horses. When
Mr.. L. D. Ely's old White River Morgan
died, he sent to Mr. Darlings place and
selected stallion for his Bayside Farm
at Rochester, N. Y. The breeding of
Morgan horses should be encouraged.
A famous horseman once said: For all
purposes for which horse flesh is useful
to mankind, no family has ever equalled
the Morgans.' Mr. Darling showed us
several typical Morgans and invited us
to ride after them but we were obliged
to decline for want of time.
1t would be impossible for me to
describe the beautiful mansion. 1t
doubtless exceeds i'll cost and grandeur
any private residence in the state. Near
ly all the material, both lumber and
stone, came from the Darling farms, the
VIVA WIN DSlliS manufactured Ill Ills
own mills nearby
Mr.. Darling's great expenditure and
effort for improvement in his native
town are appreciated by his many
friends. He benefits anything in which
he takes an interest. The fame and
success of the Fifth Avenue Hotel are
due largely to his management. Jersey
breeders appreciate the interest he has
taken in the affairs of our club and hope
he may consent to accept the office of
president for many years to come"

The Old and the New Vermont.

The new 16000-ton battleship Yer
mont was put in service at the Boston
Navy Yard March +. She has a crew of
800 men and is powerful modern fight
ing machine. The old trigate Vermont
which Brooklynites remember as having
been for forty years the receiving ship at
the local Navy Yard was relatively Just
as fine vessel in her time. She and her
sister ships, the North Carolina and New
Hampshire, were the largest frigates
that few Old Glory. She had displace-
ment of 4, 150 tons, carried "A guns on
three decks and was the pride of the
navy. Her crew under her first COM
mander was / 100 men, 300 more than
the new Vermont will carry.
Butdrom the time she was launched in
1851, after being three years delayed,
the old Vermont was "hoodooed ship
She was never in real engagement She
just missed going on the Perry expe-
dition to Japan. She made one record.
That was an eight-months rudderless
drifting voyage. She took no part in
the War of the Rebellion except as a
supply ship. Her work as receiving
ship here was well done, but it was not
sensational
Better luck to the new Vermont !
May the hoodoo not go with the name !
The name is a good one The state is a
good one. And the new battleship will
be welcomed with warmth as well as
interest, when she comes to the Brook
Ign yard, by thousands who were fami-
liar with her veteran namesake.

The People We Kill.

A striking editorial paragraph in the
current Harper's Weekly calls attention
to the callousness of Americans regard
ing the enormous annual list of dead and
wounded travellers and employees on the
railroads of the United States. The dis
quieting statement is made that since
the 1st of January, this year, 123
persons have been killed and more than
800 injured in seven disasters on five
different roads, THE railroads" COM
ments the writer "have the strongest
possible motives for avoiding accidents:
Shifts that result in dead passengers and
wrecked machinery save neither time nor
money. How our railroad mortality is
to be reduced is question for our rail
road experts to solve. And it must be
solved. Not only in the case of the rail
roads but in hundred other fields of our
activities we Americans are disreputably
careless and wasteful of human life. 1t
is not compatible with our claim to be
a highly civilized people that we should
put up with so much industrial killing. as
we do"

Beautiful Hair at Small Cost.

Within the last decade great and rapid
strides have been made in Materia
Medica. Many diseases that were con-
sidered incurable fifteen years ago are
now cured in a few days, and in many
cases prevented altogether. The scien-
fists of late years have been delving for
the cause, the foundation, the reason
and the starting point of disease, fully
realizing that the actual and true cause
must be ascertained before the remedy
can be located Hair troubles, like
many other diseases, have been wrongly
diagnosed and altogether misunderstood.
The hair itself is not the thing to be
treated, for the reason that it is simply a
product of the scalp, and wholly depend
ent upon its action. The scalp is the
very soil in which the hair is produced,
nurtured and grown, and it alone should
receive the attention if results are to be
expected. 1t would do no earthly good
to treat the stem of plant with a view
of making it grow and become more
beautiful-the soil in which the plant
grows must be attended to. Therefore,
the scalp in which the hair grows must
receive the attention if you are to expect
it to grow and become more beautiful.
Loss of hair is caused by the scalp
drying up, or losing its supply of
moisture or nutriment and when bald
ness occurs the scalp has simply lost all
of its nourishmerft, leaving nothing for
the hair to feed upon Ia plant or even a
tree would die under similar conditions).
The natural and logical thing to do in
either case is, feed and replenish the soil
or scalp as the case may be, and your
crop will grow and multiply as nature
intended it should.
DR. Knowlton's DANDERINE
is the only remedy for the hair ever dis
covered that is identical with the natural
hair foods or liquids of the scalp. 1t
feeds and nourishes the hair and does all
the work originally carried on by the
natural nutrients or life-giving juices
generated by the scalp itself. 1t pen
etrates the pores of the scalp quickly and
the hair soon shows the effects of its
exhilarating and life produc-
ing qualities.

Several New York postmen, according
to the World, have made fortunes OF
more than 100000. These men, al
though independently wealthy, through
extra effort during leisure hours, still
trudge from house to house daily
with mailbag and whistle. content
to accept a salary of $1,000 year which
Uncle Sam provides for his postmen. In
every case the fortunes were made
through shrewd investments in real
estate.

A Look into the Future.

Let me suggest few practical things
that the tireless horse of the future will
accomplish;
1. 1t will solve the problem of the
overcongestion of traffic in our city
streets.
2. 1t will free the horse from his bur
dens few years ago, in the city of
New Orleans, an old darby came in from
the country and for the first time saw
the electric street-car which had taken
the place of the mule-drawn car. The
Old darby threw up his hands, and look
ing up to heaven, said, Dress de Lord,
de White man freed de niger, now he done
freed de mule"
3, The automobile will furnish relief
to the tenement-house districts.
4. 1t will stimulate the good-roads
movement throughout the United
States.
.. 1t will save time and space and be-
come invaluable to the physician, to the
fireman, and to many classes of citizens.
g. 1t will tend to break down class
distinction, because one touch of auto
mobilism makes the whole world kin.

Mountain View Farm.
The Summer Home of a Well-knOwn
VermOnter and New York Hotel Man.

VermOnter and New York Hotel Man.
The New England Farmer had an
interesting write-up last week of the
Mountain View Farm at East Burke
and we are sure our readers will be glad
to see it reproduced in our columns, to-
gether with the cuts, kindly loaned by
the Jersey Bulletin, the organ of the So
ciety of which Mr.. Darling is president.
Through the courtesy of the Jersey
Bulletin we are able to present view of
Elmer A. Darling's farm buildings and
farm house, situated near East Burke
Mr.. Darling has been for number of
years president of the American Jersey
Cattle club, and has been very active in
creating methods that would improve
the breed and bring it favorably before
the public. He not only takes a deep
interest in Jersey cattle, but he is also
interested in the village of Burke where
he has been the means of installing
cement sidewalks, electric lights and
other Improvements.
Upon his farm he manufactures cheese
and butter, most of which is sold to the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, of which he is one of
the pfoprietors, The cheese is manu-
featured during the summer months, and
after they have been ripened for a short
time, are shipped to market In the year
1905, an average of50 lbs. of butter
was made per day. The creamery is kept
i'll first-class shape and equipped with
modern machinery for making high
grade butter
Mountain View Farm is well described
in letter to the Jersey Bulletin Dec. 5,
'06, by P. J. Cogswell of Rochester, N.
Y, one of the clubs oldest breeders, in
whose hands the fame of Exile of ST.

A few months ago the Burlington
Rendering Company were accused OF
contempt of court because they des-
troyed their books Now they have the
contempt of everyone in the state for
their own confession that they have sold
diseased meat, and DR.. Rich our dis
credited former cattle commissioner, as
one paper well says, is poorer and
wiser man. The Burlington Free Press
says a good many Burlington people
would like to have the company leave
the city, which expresses pretty well the
sentiment of community against a cor
poration indicted by the grand jury on
100 counts.
