PASTURE LAND.

The shadows fall, a velvet brown.
Across stretch of pasture land:
The trees are silent, scarce a breath
OF wind is stirring. Gods own hand
Has smoothed the troubles of the world
Away to some far distant shore
What though the echo of a gun
Proclaims that somewhere there is war?
The grass is short. and heavy feet
Have worn 1t level with the soil:
The COWS have cropped the clover blooms,
And. coming from his daily toll.
The farmer pauses in the shade.
And breathes, perhaps, an honest
prayer.
To thank his God for health and peace,
And summer in world so fair.
When shadows fall. velvet brown,
To tell that toll, and day must cease.
When all the world its trees and grass.
1t covered with a veil of peace
Then let our feet, that may be worn,
Pause for bit. that We may stand
Among the cows. and send prayer
To God from his own pasture land.

VERMONT LEADS.
(From the Randolph Herald

Vermont is such a little state and gets
SO much knocking at home and abroad

cold facts occasionally. Alphabetically,
Vermont has no real rival in New Eng
land and even stands up among the
leaders of the Union in certain depart
ments. In number OF mich cows. accord
ing to the census of 1910, she had 265 iS3,
with Massachusetts, trailing at 1885 and
New Hampshire reporting only 10l27s. In
cattle of all kinds her lead was proper
tonately great In horses Vermont stood
second to Maine among the New England
States. with almost twice as many as
New Hampshire. Maine led us in sheep.
but we distanced our sister State across
the Connecticut, by almost three TO one
Massachusetts, took first place In swine,
but We were second. with double the num-
Der reported In Now Hampshire. That II

NATIONAL FOREST cur IN HALF

Presidential Proclamation Eliminates

and Scattered.

The area of the Chugach national for.
est. Alaska, which is to be crossed by
the railroad that the government il
building from Seward to Fairbanks is
reduced nearly ope-half by a proclama-
ton, signed by President Wilson, return
ing approximately 5,S2,o0 acres to the
public domain. This action follows CLASH
fication of the land by the Forest Serv-
ice. showing that the areas invoved are
not Of high enough timber value to war
rant government protection. and means
the largest elimination of national for
est land ever made by a single presidon-
tial proclamation.
The boundaries nf the forest. as re-
drawn by the presidents proclamation.
now contain approximately jss01o acres.
supporting about eight billion feet of
merchandise timber. on the area thrown
out of the forest there is in the aggregate,
n large amount of timber. but it is so
sparse and scattered a. to nc Of little
or no commercial value. Tho land re-
naining within the forest. however. con-
tains the largest7 and most accessible
supply Of timber for the development Of
the great mineral fields TO the north Of
Boring river and is the region in which
tne ALASKAN engineering COMMISSION mas
been authorized to cut So million feet
of timber for use in constructing the
governments new railroad. on account
of the time required for cutting apd
seasoning construction timber, the com
mission has had to purchase some lum-
Der from Washington and Oregon. bot
as cutting has already commenced on
the Chugach, it IL expected that the
Alaskan timber will soon be serving the
needs of the railroad builders.
The lands eliminated by the proclama-
ton are in three large tracts; one along
the entire southerlv slope of the ChugaCh
mountains, the second lying northeast
of Seward, between Resurrection bay and
Kings bay. and the third, northwest Of
the Kenat mountains in the region around
Trstamena and Skilak lakes. In addition
the towns Of Hope, Sunrise, Kenia and
| Ninilchek are eliminated. According to
the Forest Service the chance of locat-
ing homesteads in the excluded lands
is extremely small, since they contain
few agricultural areas, although in sorpe
| localities there are said to be small
patches suitable for farming.

When a fellow gets bluffed. though hard

When the worlds "acin" him on every

While defeat holds supremacys
No matter how smooth the sailing has

In the years that have gone before,
Though he may have been leader OF
men,
Things have changed and he's SO n,

The hopes that he cherished all fade
and die
While he struggles and strives In vain.
And it matters not how hard he may
try,
All effort seems futile and vain.
But it's times like these that will try

For they'll show of what stuff they're

II they're built on a true heroic plan
Though oft beaten. they're not dis

Hay AND CORN.

to the growth of late cut grass in Yer

country. with tremendous damage as a
consequence.
According to the Boston Transcript the
damage to the hay crop in Massa-
chusetts, which is half destroyed Will
be 100000, and as a consequence those
vermont farmers who have sowed enough
corn for ensilage to keep their stock

II Is not necessary to argue that before
the winter is over we shall be obliged to
modify our prediction that hay will be

The grass crop Is one OF Vermont $
most important products, but We can
rot go on selling hay and expect our
oil to hold it's fertility. We must learn

lepending on other States, If we would
