neeticut, for the towns building record
of 1911 thus far represents an expendi.
ture of three-quarters of a million dol
lars, the construction including great
cotton mill, a gymnasium at the Brat
Jeboro retreat, Masonic temple, a fine
pleasure park and thirty-eight dwelling
houses. 1t is in the last-named division
Of the building work that one may find
the surest indications Of progress, for
no community adds thirty eight new
houses in single season without that
community being in prosperous condi-
ton Brattleboro has been for years d
solid little town with all the marks
of far greater possibilities for growth;
and it now seems that the place has
begun to take on that growth which
was expected. The two newspapers
there may take reasonable pride in the
development of the town, for they have
been in part responsible for the improve
ments which have been noted, more per
haps by rejecting healthy, progressive
town spirit than in any other way The

JINGLES IND JESTS
The Slave Of Glamour.

They said to mes "Man, you are broken
and battered,
The city has crushed you and Slapped
you Of lifej
You want to 70 out where the folks
are more scattered,
Away from the crowds and the slums
and the strife
They have robbed Won Of air, and have
taken your brthright,
You toll for the wealth that your mas
tiers demand;
Q come, let It's bring you once more to
your cartwright
The country i calling you Back to
the Land ,"
So came, and / hourished and pros
pered but, somehow,
I'm sick for the sight of the city
again
And think Of the days when lived in
slum how
used to sit out with the neighboring
men
And smoke on the curb while the kids on
the pavement
Were dancing about to the street or
gan's tune;
For / was slave-but loved my en-
slavement,
And guess ] got free just little
too soon.
There are birds in the trees here whose
warbling is pretty,
There are flowers and grass, and
they're lovely, maybe,
But 0 for the bands in the parks of
the city,
And the fun and the life and the
crowds that YOU see
The city is filed with injustice and
illness,
But still it's alive, and I'm hearing it
call,
While here-why, | can't 60 to sleep for
the stiffness,
And nothing whatever is doing at all!
/ know I'm a fool to be longing and
longing
For pavements and smoke and for
hurry and noise,
But I'm wishing the sight of the people
all thronging,
The old folks and babies, the girls and
the boys.
II did me no good, and it robbed me and
stripped me,
It kept me half starved and it tram
pied me down,
But the spell of the city has reached
me and gripped me,
And it's Me from the country right
back in the town."

CURRENT COMMENT
Smaller Farms and Better Methods.

The farmers of the country ought to
feel eomplimented that the president
should have directed the first address
cupation and interests. Very likely he
was thinking less of the personal prop
erty Of those engaged in this funda-
mental industry than its relation to
the wellbeing of our whole population
and possibly the character OF the citi-
zenship of the future. but even such a
view of the question includes the up
lift and the social and economic better
ment of the agricultural class. There
was not much in the presidents speech
that has not been aid before, aud some
times in a pessimistie spirit, but COM
ing from so high source it will COM
mand wider attention
II is obvious from his comparison of
statistics that we must in the future
raise more foodstiffs even TO feed our
own people, to say nothing Of sur
plus for export, a condition that has
been Of increasing advantage to us in
the past. IF we are to be self-sus-
tanning country" he said, "wc must
adopt new methods of farming aud pur-
sue them with earnestness and enter
prise" Our methods are constantly i'm.
proving but we need something more.
According to the new census, there are
$4,000 farms in the United States
Would it not advantage us were there
twice that number of farms, even If no
more new territory were opened to ag-
riculture-and twice that number Of
farmersY In other words. do not the
farmers of the country, the older part
of it in particular, run larger farms
than are profitableY
Land hunger was characteristic of our
early settlers. Every one wanted all
he could possibly pay for and frequent
" considerably more. There might have
been a good reason for that, because the
children generally followed the oceupa-
ton Of the parents and it was desirable
to have enough for division. But
that condition is now outgrown, and
among those who do not pretend to sci
entiiic treatment of their acres. the poor
est and least prosperous farmer il gem
orally the one with the largest farm
OF course, for cattle raising and dairy
ing purposes there must be areas of
large extent, but at the present time
dairying il one of the least profitable
uses to which land can be put.
The New England farmer hates to let
60, but like Spain he frequently finds
himself more prosperous when compelled
to part with those possessions to which
he is unable to give proper care. Not
to contlne ourselves to distractions we
know of case in point the present
year, on the edge Of Massachusetts. A
man had lived until the age Of sixty
on the paternal farm, which was of
considerable size. Receipts and expendi-
lures failed to connect and mortgage
was placed upon it, which added to his
burdens Finally to save part, he
sold large section of his farm, paid
the mortgage and set at work to see
what could be done with the remainder.
BY intensive farming and study Of the
market he has secured a much larger
revenue at less expense with what Is
left than he formerly did with the
whole. Boston Transcript.
