Valuable Borneo Timber,

The most valuable of all Borneo
timber is billian, or ironwood. This
is an extremely hard timber, sand-col
ored when newly cut, but darkens with
age. 1t is so heavy that it sinks in
water, and for that reason cannot be
RATED down the rivers. About two
inches of the outside of the tree is
soft and worthless, but the inside can
be used for almost any practical pur-
pose where a solid, strong and dur
able wood is required.

the many things that are very liable to
frighten a horse these days.
Automobiles, steam cars, bicycles
and the like do not even interest him.
He will meet any of these horse-ter-
rifying affairs with utmost indffer-
ence.
When I first purchased him he was
low down in flesh and really looked
depressed and sad.
Having had about thirty years ex-
perience in the handling of horses and
mules of all sorts, naturally thought
that could take this specimen to my
farm and make something of him.
J bought him over three months ago
and have fed him on what is consid-
cred by good horsemen to be first
class feed. At the present writing l
can only say that my experience and
the advice OF my neighbors are at
fault. for the horse still remains poor
and apparently out of condition.
He has had two attacks of sick
ness in the past month and with no
excuse so far as the writer can see.
First bad cold that kept him half
sick for over two months, then a Sc
we're attack of Indigestion, which last
ed all day and well into the night and
was followed by a severe chill.

unfortunate enough to own a delicate
horse to dispose of him at the ear

self trouble and expense. for the ordi-
nary farmer does not know what to do
with an animal that is regularly sub

is made of every COW, in order to get tn g
best results.
! In the course of an extended article on
Pure-bred Cattle, the Caledonan had the
following, which should be read by ev-
cry farmer in Vemont:-
When pure bred bull calf can be pur-
chased for from $25 to 500, any man hav-
ing herd of ten COWS or more can well
afford to own pure-bred sire, and he
will find the calf that is worth 500 much
more prof table than one worth only $25
Every farmer expecting to enjoy the
greatest degree of success should begin
at once to use pure-bred sire of some
breed. Having selected his breed he
should stick TO it and not attempt to cross
breeds with distinct and contradictory
characteristics. If the use of pure-bred
sires could be generally introduced
throughout the country, the value of the
next generation of farm anil mails would be
largely increased.

of thoroughbred stock in Lamoille Coun-
ty and each year sells at reasonable
prices limited number of young cows

A very stout lady at the geological
gardens, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord, was seeing the lions fed for the
first time, and was rather surprised
by the limited amount of meat that
was given them. THAT seems to me
to be a very small piece of meat for
the lion," she said to the attendant.
The man looked at her with a glimmer
of amusement in his eye. 1T may
seem a small piece to you, num-" he
said, but it's heaps for the lion."

There are evidences in ancient writ

Reformed church Rededicated .

The redication of the Reformed church
at Grantsvllle took place on Sunday
morning, January Sd, and was a most
interesting and successful event. For
several years the congregation has felt
the need of either a new edifice or the
remodeling of the old one, and last fall
the latter plan was decided upon and
work Immediately begun.
The interior of the church has been
quite changed and is very beautiful. A
heating plant has been installed in the
cellar; pretty, bright, new carpet laid
on the pulpit platform and in the aisles.
the rest of the floor being stained.
Dainty new wallpaper covers the walls.
Bright gasolene lights take the place of
the old oil lamps, and handsome. COM
Portable pews take the place of the old
benches. The Improvements are a
credit to the congregation and are all
completed, save for the painting of the
outside of the church which will be done
in the near future.
The dedication service consisted of
short and admirable address, by Rev.
Ira S. Nom. excellent music, by the
choir. and the Dedicatory service, after
the requisite amount had been raised to
finish paying the Indebtedness of the
church, which was something less than
ST. 900, $500 OF which remained to be
raised on Sunday. Little difficulty was
experienced in raising the necessary
amount as the people responded readily
and literally according to their means,
and shortly after noon the congregation
were permitted to leave their old
church, new in appearance, and doubly
dear because of the toll and labor ex-
pended upon it, and wend their way
homeward with lighter hearts because
their house of worship was free from
debt, place of beauty and sacred as
sociations, and a Joy to them for many,
many years to come.
