The catalogue of the new Vermont
school of agriculture is out and any
person desiring one can secure a
copy by writing to II. l.. Hatch,
STAFFORD, VI, or to T. G. Bronson,
East Hardwick, Vt. This school Is
not college but an agricultural high
school where a boy with the rudi-
ments OF an education can enter and
with very slight expense to himself
take a two years course and learn
the essentials that go to make a
successful farmer and also learn Eng
fish, Arithmetic and other common
school branches. The problem OF
the coming generations is bound to
be a question of supplying food for
fast increasing populations. The av-
erage man has two chances open TO
him. He can enter a mill. shop,
store or factory and spend his life
working for wages or he can go into
farming, usually considered less at
tractive but much surer as is shown
by the records Of probate courts
comparing the estates OF farmers
and those OF village and city people.
A man has much more liberty on
farm than In town life. II he ex-
poets to make a success he must
work exceedingly hard six months
OF the year but for the other six
months he doesn't work half the time
that his town neighbor does. More
over he can always arrange so as to
take a holiday without loss OF time
or income which workingmen in town
cannot do. Vermont offers many
attractions to the young farmer. The
price OF land here is so low that he
can start on less capital than any
where else. Ambitious young men
should study the question and con.
slider the advantages offered by the
new state agricultural school at Ran
dolph.

Tribune readers will be interested
in an expression OF opinion on rect.
procity by a former editor OF this
paper-Lewis b. Hibbard-who Ia
now in Des Moines, and who. In a
recent communication TO the Regis
ter and Leader OF that city said;
Some time ago ex-senator Young's

rocity idea. Why, bless his soul, rec

and passed all my life TIL about
thirty years OF age, save a few years

chusetts at school, I'm Canada. just on
the border OF northwestern Vermont
My fathers farm was about half a
mile from "the line" and we had
reciprocity a dozen years. 1s54-1S66,
very like that which President TAFT
proposes. Before that our market
for daily products was Montreal, ar
ter the treaty came into force IL was
Boston. While the treaty was under
consideration the farmers OF northern
Vermont worked themselves up Into a
fever OF excitement over the damage
IL would work for them. Just as some
OF our so-called statesmen are trying
to do now, but when they saw the
treaty In operation and witnessed its
practical workings, their fears disap-
peared, and they again became friend
ly and good neighbors. and when
they saw me drive load OF cheese
across the line to st. Adams for
shipment TO Boston they smiled, In
stead OF looking daggers and curslng
me, as at the frat The farmers
were about the only. ones who abject'
ed to the treaty at all. and they re-
covered their eQulpoise. That traety
worked all right. Just as this one Will

farmer, In many cases-not all-for

did not think be could do his haying
without a Jug or two of whiskoy, for
which, before that internal revenue
he had paid 90 cents q gallon. but
that law put the price up AZ ono
bound to $3.50 per gallon. and no self
respecting whlskey loving farmer
would submit TO being taxed without
representation or personal consent In
that wayl But the price remained
at the old figure in Canada aud OF bet

MANNER OF CUTTING STAKES
II Care Is Taken to Sharpen the
Ak Properly.

When sharpening the ends of bean
poles and other stakes to enable them
to enter the ground easily it takes sew
eral blows with the Ratchet to obtain
the desired effect
All this trouble may be entirely done
away with II you take care TO sharpen
the ak properly, says the Scientific
American. When sharpening an ordi-
nary ak or Ratchet you first put one
side against the grindstone and then
the other, thus making bevel on both
sides as in Fig 1. But, instead of do
ing this, allow one side of the Ratchet
to lie nearly fiat on the grindstone.
Then lay the other side on the stone
and put bevel on 1t in the ordinary
way. Now the Ratchet has an edge
like a wood cutting chisel Zig. %.
When pointing stakes let the fat sur
face, which must be the left side when
the edge is pointing away from you,
be nearest the wood. Lift up the

Some are born Undetermined and 9th

Holy Spirit cannot be cultivated with

these spiritual graces with meekness.
How could one be patient and sub
