THE OXEN ARE COMING BACK.

The yoke of oxen has returned to
Vermont One sees, at any rate sporad-
ically, this patient, powerful animal
again at his task, from which the horse
had so generally driven him. He is
cheaper to raise he is easier to keep,
he is many times stronger, and when
he is not yet old his beef is the best
in the world, bringing on the hoof
very ready price and a good big sum.
Perhaps he will grow more common,
since he is good economy.
The attempt to substitute, in hilly
countries gigantic horses, Percherons
for oxen has not been altogether a
success; and in this country, when the
horse is old, we decline to eat him. Just
why it is hard to say, for the horse is
one of the cleanest animals, refusing
even to drink tainted water. What a
world of distance for food between the
pig and the horse

urban than in rural population-S.9 and
3.6-but for each class separately the
percentages are higher in the rural.
For persons from 10 to 20 years, in
elusive, whose lteracy depends largely
upon present school facilities and school
attendance, the percentage of illiteracy
is very slight QW.
Marital Conditions.
In the population 10 years of age and
over, 34.3 per cent of the males are
single and 264 per cent of the females.
The percentage married is $50 for males
and 6O.6 for females, and the percentage
widowed g. and l2.2, respectively. The
percentages divorced, 90 and 0S, re-
spectively are believed to be too small,
because of the probability that many
divorced persons class themselves as
single or widowed.
That the percentage single is so much
smaller for women than for men is due
largely to the fact that they marry
younger. Thus. go per cent of the fe
males from 10 to 10 years of age are
married, as compared with 0S per cent
for the males; 40 per cent of the females
from 20 to "A are married, as compared
with 221 per cent of the males. In the
next age group, "A to "a years, the diff
ference is not so great, 1913 for females
and 627 per cent for males, while in the
age group 35 to A the difference prac
tically disappears. That there Is a larger
proportion of widows than of widowers
may indicate that men more often re-
marry than women, but since husbands
are generally older than their wives, the
marriage relationship is in fact more
often broken by the death of the hus-
band than by death of the wife.
For each of the main elements of
population the percentage married of
those over 10 years of age is as follows
Foreign born whites, $3.50 for males $50
for females: native whites of native
parentage. SIS and 59.6, respectively
native whites of foreign or mixed pa
rentage. $50 and 57.3, respectively; ne
groes, 2S.5 for males and 622 for fe-
males
These percentages by no means indi-
cate the relative tendency of the sew
eral classes as regards marriage. To
determine that. the comparison should
be made by age periods, since the pro-
portion married in any class is deter
mined largely by the proportion who
have reached the marrying age. Similar
ly the proportion widowed depends
largely on the proportion past middle
life. The percentage married, for males
is slightly higher, and for females le-
cidedly higher, in rural than In urban
communities.
Dwellings and Families.
The total number of dwellings in YER
mont is 77,466, and the total number of
families s5.l7s indicating that in COM
paratively few cases does more than one
family occupy a dwelling The aver

TART Had Plurality of Only ITO Over
RooseveIt-Larse Relative Gain by
Democrats

Some interesting comparisons may be
drawn from the vote for President in
Windham county this year and in 1908.
This year the Republican, Progressive and
Democratic vote was $3.50. Four years
ago the Republican and Democratic vote
was 1888. The gain was 952. Nearly half
OF this gain was made by the Democrats,
their vote being 1924 as against S97,
gain of 427. Four years ago the Republ-

vote of 213S and the Progressive vote of

BETTER THAN GOLD.

Better than grandeur, better than gold,
Than rank or titles, hundred fold
Is healthful body, mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always
please.
A heart that can feel for neighbours
woe,
And share his joy with friendly glow,
With sympathies large enough to enfold
All men as brothers, is better than gold.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
OF the sons Of toll when the labors
close;
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep.
And the balm that drops on his slum-
bers deep.
Better than gold is thinking mind,
That in realms of thought and books
can find
A treasure SURPRISING Australian ore,
And live with the great and good Of
yore.-[Alexander Smart.
