Patronize Home Merchants.

A few of the State papers are discus
sing the catalog houses and soap clubs
which are proving so ruinous to the coun-
try merchants. This is something the
Courier has been agitating for some time
and we are glad to see the State press
take it up. The amount of money that
goes to catalog houses and soap CONCERNS
every week from Vermont communities,
big and little, is astonishing and not a
few failures in country towns can be at
tributed to the competition of these big
concerns that sap the life out of the small
merchants.
If the home merchant can supply your
wants at a reasonable profit to himself,
patronize him, even if you can get the
same thing trifle cheaper of some big
trust hundreds of miles away. It is the
home merchant that helps pay the taxes;
it is the home merchant that goes into
his pocket, usually, to aid in every chart
table movement; it is the home merchant
that is relied upon to boost along public
enterprises. But what are the catalog
houses and the soap concerns doing ali
this time? Just singing you in some
way, and don't you forget it. Try the
home merchant first. -Swanton w.t.

The Dairy Cow

A prominent dairyman says: "In
selecting COW the first thing to con-
slider is the udder, which should BIZ
large but not fleshy. The size of the
udder is more or less an indication of
the milk producing capacity of the
COW. The u6der should come we'll
forward and we'll back and up behind ;
the teats should be medium size, we'll
placed and we'll set on. The veins
that extend along the abdomen in
front of the udder should be large,
long and the opening where they enter
the body large.
The next most important thing is a
large middle piece or belly. This is
an indication of the ability of the COW
to consume, especially large guam.
titles OF forage. The larger the alb
domen, all things being equal, the
less the grain that will be required.
The idea should be to secure an ami
mial that will take a large quantity
OF forage but small amount of grain.
The next important thing is lean
but vigorous condition as indicated
by robustness, thin thighs, lean con-
dition Of the shoulders, rump, loin
and back. A deep chest with a large
heart girth is an indication Of strength
and ability to endure.

AS a result of the very active pub
licity of innumerable commercial
bodies over the Pacific Northwest,
few correspondents ask about the
cities now a days. Over fifty per cent
of the specific inquiries are about
fruit lands. This is true not only
because horticulturalists and agricul-
turalists are interested, but men in
the professional walks of life who
want to get out into the open air find
fruit growing especially congenial.
Many of this class have been among
our most successful growers. While
inquiries about dalrying are compar-
atlvely few they come from those en-
gagged in this work in other states.
and undoubtedly a larger percentage
of the dairy letters mean actual set
tiers than do those on other subjects.
The Journal assumes most aston
ishing attitude in it's latest issue,
when it accuses Senator Piles and
Collector of Customs Harper of be-
littling the Civil Service. The Jour-
nal writer seems little befogged in
his ideas on the matter of Civil SER
vice. and when he asserts that the
above named gentlemen are Support

A. Y. P. exhibits for this county,
wishes to announce that he would like
each community to have some charac-
teristic exhibit, some means of attrac-
ting attention to each particular TO-
cality. This can only be done by
the people themselves taking the mat
ter in hand. as they are the ones most
interested and most fully informed
about the products of the different
districts.

The Truth About
Dry Farming

In all the discussion of the term
'dry farming much misunderstand
ing exists. At the recent congress
there was an attempt to change the
organizations name to "Arid Farm
ing Congress-. In simple phrase it
means a method of farming that shall
include deep blowing and frequent
puiverizing of the top soil out of as
we'll as during the growing season. 1t
is based on the principle that the mois-
ture falling in rain or SNOW may sink
| into the earth if the soil be loosened.
Then that there shall be kept above
that moistened bed close. fine blan-
ket of dust that shall prevent evapor-
alton. If the burrows be turned at
right angles to the prevailing winds
of winter the snow may be caught.
and if the pulverizing harrow be sent
over the field after every rain, the
seed il certain to receive maximum
amount Of sustenance. If it does not
get enough in one season it may in
two, and crop every alternate year.
if good one. is ample return on
cheap land. Ut course there must be
goud soil as basis, -only irrigation
can conquer sand.
To accomplish this special machin-
cry has come into use. Horses could
not pull pIows biting deep into the
tough centuries dried soil. so power

with two dozen plows en- train are in
their places. Press drills that plant

then raise crop on it" is the for
mula adopted by one successful farm
er. He told how be bad plowed

cultivated. and then raised thirty
five bushels of wheat. fifty bushels of
feed on each acre. finally starting
profitable fruit orchard. all this on
rainfall of less than fifteen inches
annually. Year after year has in
creased his supply of moisture and
the soil-bed has constantly grown
richer and deeper.
After five years of progress dry
farming has become established as
standing for certain method of agri
culture adapted to the plains where
rainfall is deficient. 1t is easy to
raise crops in Iowa, Missouri, eastern
Nebraska, and similar portions of
the West. where sunshine. rich new
soil and abundant moisture are found.
