Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1914-02-04

I took an eight-day trip up through
New Hampshire a couple of weeks
ago, and l went among those rolling |
hills to five million dollar plant, !
where they were said to have hum
dred horses, 800 hogs and 500 head of
cattle, and they did have buildings to
beat four of kind, (but they were
swell heads and don't believe they /
had no such. amount of stuff (neither
ersl, and went to many of those
| places where saw immense barns and
| those large herds, and one along the
rest where the rocks Mr.. Corbaley
! speaks about seemed to almost cover
the ground. 1t was way up among
those rolling hills. but there was none
of that red clay to be seen, the build.
| ings looked about like some of those
western shacks. we went into the barn
to see his stock. My partner is big
man and he had to squeeze himself to
get through the door, but pushed and
he got in. The man told US that he had
nothing to sell. that he had just given
an option of some of them to party
in Ohio. and then he took us to another
little shack of a barn and showed us
another younger herd, but nothing to
sell. He saw me gaping around the
barns, and he said, Looking for hay,
eh?" and l said it looked like it would
take some. Yes. I've got barn full
down on the meadow just over the
hill. Hay enough" Then I braced
up and askedshimsswhat price he gave
the Ohio party on the first herd, he
said "Oh, didn't give them price
on the whole lot, I just gave them a
price on twenty-five cows and the bull,
$4,000" and then we scratched our
heads and went along, and we went to
another place up among those trees
and rolling hills and he had cows ano
heifers and calves with prices from
;. $50 up to $3.50 for calves and cows ur
, to $500 and some that he would not
,, name the prices for
+ Now. Mr.. Corbaley. if you had beer

Right now, Mr.. Corbaley, I chal
. lenge you to name a place in thes'
9 United States of the same area a
q New England, that produces as mucl
y maple sugar. beef, butter, pork ant
G potatoes as does New England.
g And [ make this statement withou

q many of the necessaries and so muc
. and so many of the luxuries of life a
does New England. AS said in tn

of the world.
~ Now if these tariff tinkerers as MI
