inspection and acceptance of gov
eminent surgeon provided only that
the secretary of war should authorize
the transfer of all sick and wounded
Vermont soldiers needing hospital
treatment to this hospital at Brattle-
boro. The secretary of war, remem-
boring the prompt and efficient SER
vice always rendered by Gov Hol-
brook and the people of his state, f.
nally consented to the experiment be-
ing made, but frankly said that he
feared the arrangement might have to
be revoked within six months
On his return Gov Holbrook sets
every available mechanic at work. BY
the middle of February the hospital
was ready, the disabled soldiers soon
began to arrive, and during the follow
ing summer the hospital was full in
valid soldiers hav'"g been sent here
from other sta es. The erection of
hospital tents h cam necessary and
the result was that +. ON then on from
1900 to 200 p ic-ts were under treat
ment at a time, the population con-
stantly changing as those who had re-
covered were sent to the front and
new patients took their places. The
physical effect of Vermont air and
water, and the moral effect OF near
ness to home and friends, worked
wonders and soon the Brattleboro
hospital began to be credited with
effecting a larger number of cures
than was shown by the record of any
government hospital elsewhere. The
government willingly assumed its
ownership and reimbursed the state
for all expense in fitting it up.
On laying down the cares of office
Gov. Holbrook dropped quietly back
into the ranks of private life, taking
up the various duties which thus be-
fell him. He kept up his interest in
agricultural affairs and resumed his
connection with the firm of Ruggles.
Nourse, Mason & Co.. of Boston and
Worcester for whom he had perform
ed many valuable services in design
ing agricultural tools on scientific
principles.
Man Of the older farmers will recall
the governors excellent invention of
much earlier date-the "HolbrOok
plow'-which was a swivel, success
fully designed to use on level lard
and avoid the dead burrows in the
center of the field which had been an
eyesore and nuisance under the old
method of blowing.

and By his own hands. He had read
widely on agricultural topics, especi-
ally on its scientific side, and soon
began to have a reputation In this di-
rection. He was solicited to write
for the agricultural press, and though
undertaking the work with hesitation
he finally entered into a contract with
the Albany Cultivator of Albany, and
the New England Farmer of Boston,
both then monthly journals. by which
he was to furnish each of them lead
ing article each month. His writ
ings were largely copied by the Yer
mont papers and it was by this means
that he first came to public promi

Marriage and Vocation.


When the young man was q and
the bride little less than Is he was
married to Harriet Goodhue, the
daughter of Col. Joseph Goodhue. At
ter wedding journey to Boston, the
young people settled in Brattleboro,
and it was within three or four years
after this time that a change in the
family fortunes and the death of the
father, Deacon John Holbrook, led
Frederick Holbrook to take up in ear
nest the pursuit to which the years of
his mature life were devoted. His
natural taste for agriculture had been
given practical form by work on his
fathers farm, already spoken of. Dur
ing some months spent in Great Brit
ain at the age of 20 he carefully OBJ
served farm methods there, and since
his marriage he had taken up the cul-
tivation of two considerable tracts of
