Trust Company of New York, today
took up options on a number of val

mes and Fair Haven, the route hav-
ing been surveyed several years ago.
Mr.. Baldwin has been interested in
other electric projects. Mr.. Under
hill claims that he is in the dark as
to Mr.. Baldwin's intentions.

to this way: The value of the staple
crops grown in the United States last
year, such as corn, wheat, barley, oats,
etc. was more than $3,O00,000,00 In
Pennsylvania alone the value of the
staple farm crops for the year was
$17O00O,OQO, and $4,000 farmers en-
tered in this production. If each of
these 224,000 farmers would increase
his yield of corn one bushel to the

Have any of the older residents

1t was also stereotyped at Concord
by Fisk & Chase, but the imprint on
the title page reads Montpelier, VT,
published by George w. Hill, 1887. "
1t seems probable that Mr.. Hill was
the publisher, from 1926 to 1889, of
the Vermont Patriot and State Ga

was later the editor, and which was
afterward merged with the Bellows

Humane sentiment gradually in
ereases. We have seen in the news
papers lately complaints of the cruel
treatment of young calves shipped to
market from the western part of the
State, and we revolt at the idea OF
eating the flesh of an animal that has
met death through cruelty or that has
suffered severely before being
slaughtered, Yet it is not so very
long ago that it was forbidden in
England to sell the flesh of bull
that had not been baited by dogs, as
that was thought to render the meat
more fit for consumption. In some
Eastern countries the flesh of a calf
which has been killed by beating it
with rods is esteemed great deli
cacy.
