The Demand for Dairy Gate

Still another outside the state cttle
buyer has been in the White River Wiley
section of Vermont and in scarcely Dore
than weeks time paid out to its faraei s
in Sharon. Stafford, Royalton and Bar
nard more than $4,000 for II hea of
dairy cows. The buyer was j. H. Gapin
of Connecticut, and il is to that statttbe
purchased cows were shipped. In ny
ing Mr.. Galpin expressed preferenctfor
the heavier milking breeds and forthe
more strictly butter COW, like the Jesey
and Guernsey. This was because, ore
sumably, his COWS are sold to whole 1ilk
dealers. The fact that both class of
cows are in demand here in vermont
makes all the larger the market andop-
portunity for the Vermont farmer and
with the continuously extending dennd
for whole milk this market will CONTINUE
to enlarge. The whole milk dealer, tho
has retail route in the larger townand
cities of Massachusetts, Rhode Islandlnd
Connecticut, cannot afford to raist his
own cows, hence he must come to er-
mont or some other outside market. He
prefers Vermont. White River JunGion

that green vegetables could be
harmful in many disorders only
in so far as they impose tax

George Washington Had, as Was
Appropriate, the Finest House
in the National Capital.
COST MUST HAVE BEEN GREAT
From Records It Seems That the First
President Either Built or Had in
Contemplation Other Habita-
tions-5ritish Respected
the Mansion.

Records show that George Washing
ton had in mind the building OF an
other house or other houses than his
available record to show how much
money Washington expended upon his
city mansion The cost must have
been considerable in those days OF
slow travel, when bricks were brought
across the ocean in sailing vessels.
and when experienced bricklayers
we're few and able to command very
high wages.
Although only three stories in
height. it was a very large and roomy
house Moreover. it was intended to
be the best house in the Federal city,
for Washington undoubtedly realized
the fact that he was the foremost
citizen OF the new republic and one
Of the foremost men in the whole
world
Although now level with the street,
1t is known that the mansion original
ly stood upon terrace. ascended by
stone steps The grounds were sur
rounded by a hedge fence. similar to
the hedge which surrounds Mount
Vernon estate. The mansion faces
east and is parallel with the capitol
building. It's front view was over a
large level plateau which was bound
ed by the horizon-tipped hills OF Mary
land: a plateau upon which Washing
ton expected the Federal city to be
built Washington. Jefferson. Carroll
cad hSf a Mt oil a
Of the best land on the Plateau. But
their heirs held the land at such spec
ulative prices that homemakers
sought the vicinity OF the White
House instead of the capitol. and the
Federal city was builded on the west
and northwest part Of the city en-
vironmerts.
Admiral Wilkes purchased the man
sion from the heirs of Washington,
and used it as his residence during his
lifetime. His heirs sold it to John
Tally an Irish-American tavern-keep-
er. Tally rented it to numerous prom
inent society folks always receiving
a high rental for il from them. About
forty years ago Tally sold it to man
named Hillman. who used 1t for ho-
tel. and it was locally known as The
Hillman House" That owner died
and the residence was sold and re-
sold a number of times, being used
the greater part OF the time as a
boarding house
When the British soldiers captured
the Federal city, in 1914. and ravaged
t savagely. they SO respected the
Washington mansion that they did not
njure it, nor even invade it.

Not Altogether a Case Of Love.

Here Is a story to illustrate the
point that one never can Judge by ap-

"A young boy with golden curls, a
regular cherub in appearance, was on
the front porch playing with little
dog and putting him through lot OF
tricks. A minister passed by and
was struck by the appearance Of the
little chap and the celebrity with which
the dog obeyed all his commands.
'Ah, little boy" he said, you must
love your dog Are you good to
him.?
Sure answered the cherub.
And | suppose he loves you,
too. and that's why he minds you SO

Unpicked Grapes Go to the Poor.

A curious old law, which dates from
1873. has been used to sentence the
owner OF a vineyard at Capestang,
near Beziers, France, to a fine and
costs for picking her own grapes. She
was picking the grapes which had been
left on the vines in her vineyard after
the fall gathering. when the policeman
told her that she was committing an
offense against the law. as all grapes
left on the vines after the harvest
were the property OF the poor. The
court at Beziers confirmed the police
mans opinion, and the woman was
convicted.

AS TO FLAVOUR.
Found Her Favoritc Again,

A bright young lady tells how she
came to be acutely sensitive as to the
taste of coffee:
My health had been very poor for
several years" she says Il loved
coffee and drank it for breakfast. but
only learned by accident, as it we're.
that it was the cause of the constant,
dreadful headaches from which | suf-
fered every day. and of the nervous
ness that drove sleep from my pillow
and so deranged my stomach that
everything l ate gave me acute pain
(Tea is just as injurious, because it
contains caffeine, the same drug found
in coffee)
My condition finally got SO serious
that l was advised by my doctor to go
to hospital There they gave me
what l supposed was coffee, and l
thought 1t was the best ever drank,
but l have since learned it was
Postum. l gained rapidly and came
home IN four weeks.
Somehow the coffee we used at
home didn't taste right when l got
back. l tried various kinds, but none
tasted as good as that l drank in the
hospital, and all brought back the
dreadful headaches and the 'sick-all-
over feeling.
One day l got package OF Postum.
and the first taste of it took,
said that's the good coffee we had in
the hospital l have drank it ever
since, and eat Grape-Nuts for my

this enthusiasm is due to a romantic

ington is devoid OF monument or COM
memorative tablet-but that 1t is
seemingly wholly unknown to those
countless thousands of patriotic pill
grims who delight to do homage to
Washington by visits to localities
rendered conspicuous through his
career.
The neglect of Wakefield. where the
Father OF His Country first opened
his eyes upon the world Is all the
more strange when it is pointed out
that it is located less than half
days journey by steamer from Mount
Vernon-that preeminent mecca for
the American tourist and for foreign
visitors which is visited each year by
thousands upon thousands of sight
seers. The people who visit the Old
Dominion primarily to see Mount Yer
non never think of returning home
without peep at the quaint town OF
Alexandria. where Washington at
tended church and engaged in other
public activities, and not few Of
them also make journeys to various
historic mansions which the first pres
ident designed or built, as, for in
stance, the mansion which he built for
his beloved Nelly Custis, but seeming
ly the touring throng has quite over
looked the fact that the savior of his
country had birthplace.
The odd thing about the present
day neglect of Wakefield plantation is
that the old farm was visited by vast
ly greater numbers OF people few
years ago than it has been more re-
Gently. The secret of the whole
thing is that Washington's birthplace
Is very isolated. Indeed, 1t would be
difficult to find a more out-of-the-way
nook in the eastern part of the
United States. No railroad approaches
within many miles of it. and the only
ers plying up and down the Potomac
river. In days gone by these river
craft carried many interested per-
sons to Wakefield. The United States
government built pier at the planta-
ton, and steamers were enabled to
land passengers almost at the site of
the manor house in which Washington
was born.
AS has been said, the historic spot
at Wakefield has not been left un-
marked, although isolated and neglect
ed insofar as the tide of twentieth-cen-
tury tourist travel is concerned 1t
was in 1895 that the national govern
