broad breast, a short strong back,
short legs and general alertness of

Candid Delinquent at a Revival

Mark Tully tells that one time he
was In town In central Kansas where
a protracted revival meeting was GO
ing on. One of the residents Of the
town was named Toby. He was tall,
gaunt man with long whiskers. He
was very fond of whisky, of which he
frequently imbibed beyond his limit.
This man was attending one of the
meetings, and the revivalist was busy
scoring every form Of vice and calling
down drastic condemnation upon them
"Woe to the drunkardl Woe to the
drunkardl Woe to the drunkardw he
shouted In doleful tunes.
Old Toby got on his feet and
tugged at his whiskers. and the fact
that he suffered only made his inter-
ruption, more marked: "G-g-g-guess

The preacher went on: "Woe to the

voice was dolorous and sepulchral.
Again old Toby got to his feet. He
motioned around the room, swinging
and pointing with his arms and fingers

Ancestors Were Early Settlers.

DIR Darwin Rush Story, who has
died at his home in Proctorsville,
aged OIL years, was born in Windsor
West Parish on Aug. IL, 1919. He
was descended from William Story, a
native of Norwich, Eng. who settled
in Chebacco Parish, Essex, Mass in
1917. DIR. Story's grandfather, Zach
ariah Story, sea captain, was native
of Essex, who removed to Hopkinton,
N. H., where DIR. Story's father, DR..
Dyer Story, was born in 1889. The
family removed from Hopkinton, N.
H., to West Windsor in 1870.
Darwin Story studied medicine at
the Berkshire Medical institute at
Pittsield, Mass, and was graduated
in the class of Dr. j. g. Holland. He
began the practice of medicine with
his father in West Windsor and con-
tinued there until 1854, when he re-
moved to Proctorsville, where he has
since resided He continued to prac-
tice medicine until about ten years
ago, when he gave it up on account
of failing health. He had held vari-
Gus town Offices and in 1892 was in
the Vermont legislature.

Bishop Hall Against Church
Unity.

Rev. A. G. A. Hall. Protestant
Episcopal bishop of Vermont, is a
well-known figure in discussions OF
church unity. His latest utterance
in permanent form is his charge to
his diocesan convention this year,
which Longmans, Green & Co. issue
in paper covers under the title "The
Apostolic Ministry" Bishop Hall
goes squarely on record against
yielding an inch of what he thinks
is important in the tentative efforts
of various denominations toward
unity. He examines in this address
the position of the church through
the ages, and reaches the conclusion
that the ministry to be valid must
have episcopal ordination in historic
succession AS for admitting other
clergymen into Episcopal pulpits for
an occasional service, he believes il
baneful to church interests.

Furs Very High Again This
Year.

The trapping season is near at
hand in Vermont and persons who
follow the occupation every fall pre-
dict that even the unprecedented
high prices paid for raw furs last
year will be eclipsed this season,
says the Rutland News.
Skunk skins, of which thousands
are annually taken in Vermont. are
expected to drop little this year, so
heavily was the market stocked with
the big advance in price last year,
but all other kinds Of fur bearing
animals will have big price on
their heads 1t is stated that raccoon
skins of the best grade bring $3
and foxes will at the opening of the
season be quoted at SO, where skins
are prime. Muskrats will probably
be worth 80 to 40 cents for fall
caught skins and prime mink from
$5 to So.
Fur buyers talk strongly against
trapping too early. Animals do not
begin to get their winter pelage un-
til there has been considerable cold
weather, and skins having the sum-
mer coat are worthless.
A well known fur man said today :

Easdina .hs Dairy Cow.

Judicious feeding does not imply ex.
cessive feeding. A COW must be n
hearty eater to be a good producer.
Driving cows In hurry is money
losing operation. Increase the food as
long as the flow OF milk increases. The
more COW is exposed the less milk
she will give. In feeding assimilation
is the only true measure of value. The
rich quality of cows milk is largely
born with her. Milk secretion should
not be greatly encouraged before calv-
ing. It is the milk from the fresh COW
that produces the most perfect flavor.

The seventh biennial report of the
State Board of Health is just issued
by the secretary, DIR. H. d. Holton.
According to the report, there were
5,S7I deaths in Vermont in 1909,
one-half of them being from the
seven following causes: Pneumonia,
6l8; organic heart disease, sol ;
Bright's disease, 435; tuberculosis,
426; apoplexy, 4l9; cancer, 1886 ;
senile debility, 100; also that there
were as many deaths from whooping
cough as from diphtheria, scarlet
fever and measles combined. The
effort to eradicate tuberculosis, the
board feels, is making headway, as
that disease is now fourth on the
mortality list, instead of first. Tow
ard this end the sanatorium at Pitts
ford is doing much. The report
made to the state board from that
institution, giving summary of the
work from the time it was opened in
December, 1907, to January, 1910,
shows that during that time l91
patients were admitted of whom 80
were cured, 78 had the disease ar
rested, 20 were improved in health
and only 81 were unimproved.

Fattenina Horses.

An experiment conducted at the I'LL
nois experiment station in fattening
horses for the market showed that
clover is worth twice as much as tim
othy, pound for pound, in putting flesh
on animals. 1t is the belief Of the
station that its value will be more
highly appreciated as a horse feed
when corn forms all or part of the
grain ration than where all oats are
fed. Glover hay, being rich in protein,
renders 1t especially valuable for feed
ing young horses.
