Life is What We Make IL.

Life in itself is neither good nor
evil 1t is the scene of good or evil,
as you make it. And if you have lived
a day, you have seen all. One day is
equal and alike to all other days.
There is no other light, no other
shade. This very sun, this moon,
these very stars, this very order and
disposition of things is the same your
ancestors enjoyed, and that shall also
entertain your posterity.

VALUE OF FISH AND GAME-State Fish
and Game Commissioner J. w. Titcon1b
in an address before the business men of
Burlington last week stated that the
trout taken annually from Vermont
streams are worth 100000, the value
of grouse and woodcock $4,000, OF deer
$51, 739 and of fur bearing animals $3.50,
900. He evidently is at the head OF an
important industry in Vermont and
worthy of the support of every citizen
who would like better fishing and hunt
ing then we now have.

Prosperity In Vermont

If one were to glance hastily at the cen
sus figures giving the number of farms in
Vermont for the last decade, says the
Boston Globe editor!ally, he might think
that between 1880 and 1910 the people of
Vermont abandoned 2S13 farms. That
this conclusion is absolutely wrong is
shown by the state officials by an >analy-
sis of the figures and existing conditions.
In 1880 there were 1922 farms in Ver-
mont and in 1910 there were but 1902,
and it is these figures that lead one to the
above conclusion without knowing all the
facts. As the public generally under
stands the term, there never were many
abandoned farms in Vermont. When the
first settlers went into the region there
was for protection against the Indians
and other reason, tendency to make
their "pitches" or settlements on high
ground. Naturally a considerable num-
Der of farms were "pitched" too high on
the mountain sides to be profitable agr-
cultural investments. Farmers struggled
against the logic Of events and finally one
after another, these farms improperly So
called, were abandoned.
In the long struggle between the field
and the fole est the forest wop, but tins
was because it was natural forest la d
and ought never to have been cleare Tor
cultivation. These hill farms have been
purchased by moIe prosperous neighbors
and added to their farms, increasing their
pasture or woodland. Some farm-houses
on the farms themselves have been ALLOW =
ed to go To decay, but the farms them
selves have been absorbed rather than
abandoned.
1t is the concensus of opinion in the
state that the Vermont farmers were
never SO prosperous as they are now, and
that Vermont's agricultural oppportuni-
les never were as great as they are today
for go where one will he will find that an
air of prosperity and Thrift prevails. He
will find big red barns and silos and
blooded stock and comfortable homes
containing modern conveniences and
often an automobile.

when associated with sufficient weight
constitute the ideal draft horse. We
do not advocate the general use OF
the heavyweight drafter, as our eXper-
fence has demonstrated to us that t]a
medium and lightweight drafter OF
quality are much to be preferred for
southern conditions.
AS an explanation of why the farm
er should use draft mares, we may
give the following points in their IA
yor: The healthy market demand for
draft horses; early maturity, enabling
them TO begin farm work as 2-year-
olds, and bring colts at years; ease
of conditioning for market; their
weight, which means more power and
deeper blowing; and, finally, and prob
ably most important, the fact that the
draft mare is the most practical means
by which we can develop our mule in
dustry, as it is the only economical
way by which we can put more size
into our mules.
The question of breeds in the selec-
ton of draft horse is probably not
so important as individuality, although
The Percheron seems to be the most
