very best pasturage. The inhabit-
ants send annually to market large
number of cattle, sheep and horses.
Also many pounds of butter, wool
and hops.
The following statistics" exhibit
the leading products of the town in
1860, according to the census reports
of that year: Bushels of wheat, g.

corn crop, 5000 bushels; bushels of
potatoes, 26, 400; pounds of wool, A.

Large quantities of sugar are
yearly made. From the census re-

1877; working oxen, 314; Other cattle,

more or less stony and uneven, but
the soil is very strong, fertile and

drouth. On both the Connecticut

meadows. The township is abund-
antly supplied with never-failing
springs of pure, soft water; and sew.

FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1915.

1t is hard to believe all the Essex
County HERALD said of us last week
for the simple reason we have never
stopped to look the matter up. In
fact, Judging ourself from our own
viewpoint, we feel bad sometimes to
think how little we do know, when
there are such grand opportunities
in this world to know more. Relat-
ing to newspaper work, however, it
is not the editor alone who makes
of the paper a success. 1t is the edl-
tor and the community working to-
gether and in harmony with each
other. We do not mean by this that
an editor must harmonic with every
little whim that circulates through
out community, or that the COM
munity must harmonic with every
idea advanced by the editor. But
the two should pull together in the
same boat to reach that goal which
is so essential to both.
If we have made success of the
Express and Standard-andt the pa
per must speak for itself so will we
eadeavor to succeed with the Essex
County Herald. This will not be
done through our great knowledge
and experience as an editorial
writer-to which we lay no claim
but as man with a slight inkling
of human nature and possible I'M
derstanding of what the people de-
sire. No one will be debarred from
expressing an opinion in the HERALD
whether it comedies with our views
or not. Not all we write will coin
eide with the views of our readers.
This is as it should be. The best
compliment is one saying we are on
the square in all that appertains to
the paper. Don't trust us outside
of it. And remember this. We are
not a machine-made, one-style, run
in-the-same-mold editor. We run
to variety; and once in great while
have been credited with writing
something fairly good. Our aim is
to excite the curiosity and lead the
reader to wonder what is coming
next. This, and the desire to make
of the paper good, clean, business.
like and respectable looking sheet.
We cannot make over the Essex
County Herald in a minute. The
plant is to. be moved into Other
quarters and we have got to get ontt
the ropes. The makeup of the paper
will be entirely different. There
will be more of it, no more paten
inside, but nearly all set up anC
printed in the Office. In many re
spects it may not be better than it i
now; in others, better. Simply watcl
for the improvements, join hand
with US in an effort to make it i'm
prove, and when you see a Barnum
like curiosity circulating around you
county who says he is the new editor
don't set the dog on him or run ant
hide. We are perfectly safe.

TRAMPLED UNDER
FEET OF A COW

Harold Cooper. son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Clyde Cooper living southeast of Beld-
ing, is nursing a lacerated ear, bruised
face and an ugly scalp wound as the
result of being kicked and trampled
by a COW last Sunday afternoon.
The lad, his brother and Otto Bris-
boy, a neighbor's boy were playing
hide and seek in the barn. The cattle
were fastened in their stanchions and
were apparently quiet. In their play,
however, the boys frightened one Of
the animals and as Harold ran past
COW the animal kicked him. The
blow threw him TO the ground and un-
der the cows feet. This frightened
the COW still more and she began to
jump around in an effort 10 free her
self from her supposed assailant each
time striking the boy about the head
and body At the same time she was
kicking vigorously
The boy was finally liberated
by his older brother, Don, who re-
leased the COW and she ran TO another
part Of the barn. DR.. J. r. Pinkham
was called and the wounds were dress
ed. Harold is getting along nicely
and will be all right again within a
few days.
