West turned out to pasture than any
other stock.
! think ] remember Of saying some
time ago that was Disguised with
methods of farming in the Middle West.
Well, | am of some of them, but | think
their hog raising is a success, and the
only way we can successfully compete
with them is to pasture our hogs and
raise the corn to fatten them. 1t seems
TO me that pork raised in that way must
be healthier and make better eating
than when hogs are allowed to swim ia
manure in our barn cellars.
In the competition that | have been
speaking of, we Nermonters have one
great advantage That is in the price OF
the land TO raise these hogs. The aver
age river or valley farm here in YER
mont OF 100 acres, with much better
would cost $1,000; those in
the Middle West, $4,000, or about FIVE
times as much. Many OF the Vermont
hill farms OF 100 acres, with good build
ings, would cost only $500. or one nine.
teenth as much as in the West.

best and most permanent roads here in
Vermont to-day are the grayeled roads.
Most of our valleys have good gravel
near at hand to gravel our valley roads.
Once crawling is not usually sufficient,
but several applications in succeeding
years would make a tirst-elass road at
much less cost than most any other kind
of an improved road, and in our expert
ence in travelling west on such roads,
they stay in shape longer, especially If
there has been an application OF oil or
asphalt. Gravel is not usually found
near our hill roads, but for them we
should use crushed stone.

The west is full OF them, but they are
generally short OF stone or rock to crush.
Vermont hills have plenty. The stone

Russia had held out to them at the be-

With the loss OF the Polish capital. il
may be- said that this waning hope which

Do not select plants that have bloomed profusely during the summer, for it is against nature to expect them to keep 1t up during the winter. Above all, after deciding which plants shall be potted for the winter display, keep all the buds pinched out. Do not let single blossom develop until the plants are established in their winter quarters.
 Do not leave plants in their beds until forced by cold weather to take them in. Plan to pot them while the weather will permit having the house open. making the change gradual one, for plants lifted and taken at once into closed, fire-heated rooms must show the effects of the treatment and will need weeks and weeks in which to regain their beauty.
 Another thing to be considered is this: Plants grpwing in the open ground make root-growth that very often goes far beyond the limits of an ordinary pot or tub. To crowd these roots into a pot too small for them Is to bruise them and cause decay. The better way. by far, Is to cut down all around the plants with a sharp knife or spade, ten days or two weeks before the plants are to be potted.
 The sharp. clean cut heals quickly. and if the soil is well watered (soaked) before attempting to lift the plant, one gets complete ball of sound roots, well-covered with soil that goes into winter quarters with very little evidence of having been disturbed.
 Each of these plants taken sepa- rately will seem like little thing, but each has decided bearing on the beauty of the midwinter floral display, and for that reason each is, in reality, an important point

gle. Their enlightenment, such as there is of it. is only initiative. For instance, an election is but the old tribal war cry, attended by scenes of violence. Negroes fell heir to magnifi- cent plantations after the expulsion of their French masters. But they show poor accounting for their steward ship. They have squandered their subsistence In civil war and the lux ury of sluggish ease. A family here and there camps in the wilderness, liv- ing on coffee that grows wild, picking the fruits on every side, and perhaps growing a few yams Should man aspire to what he could call farm, he would have to leave it for military service, or perhaps see it ruined by ravaging hordes of armed politicians. Consequently, the vast natural re- sources of the country are not ex- plotted. The island has been called the richest of all the West Indies. Anything that is planted will grow and yield crop after crop the same year The hills are covered with for ests of fine wood, practically un- touched. Cotton might one day mean great wealth for Haiti, but it's an nual export now does not exceed a few thousand tons.
 White Mans Influence Resented.
 But should a foreigner attempt any thing for the development or uplifting of Haiti. he is fretted by obstacles at every turn. The negroes have wanted nothing of the white man. They are absurdly jealous, absurdly suspicious. The cost of the white mans absence is misery, but Haiti chooses to pay 1t. fairsized transport, circling the coast, could take away every foreign CT in the country They number scarce ly 500, mostly Germans. The negroes number about a million and a half.

are evidences of suspicion and hatred.
 The island is land of decay. The boards of the houses are cracked and rotting. There are negroes in rags everywhere, lazily shuffling about, doing nothing. What Is pic turesque is of dirt There is no na- tional dress, no distinctive local color. The impression one gets is of "coon hollow" such as the slums of our southern cities might offer But the lightheartedness of our own dar- kies is missing. One feels that the spirit has been taken out of these Haitians The sun glares bright and hot, yet there is heavy cloud that depresses. When voices are raised, they are rarely mirthful, but high strung, quarrelsome. in peevish strain.

EVER TRY A LILY BED2
By JOSEPHINE DE MARR.

Choose well-drained spot for them, and if possible. where the flowers will have background of evergreens, shrubs or screen of living green to show off their pale beauty. A back ground of climbing plants is also good. Dig the bed two feet and throw into the excavation, rubbish, tin cans. old shoes, rocks, brickbats, and the like, insuring drainage, as the lily cannot stand wet feet.
 Enrich the soil with manure from the COW stable, worked we'll into the soil with sand or sifted ashes. Plant the bulbs to 12 inches deep, accord ing to their size, in a pocket of sand.
 Just before cold weather sets in, cover the bed with litter and leaves. being sure that the winter storms will not uncover the bed.

EXTEND AID ID
 COTTON GROWERS
DEFINITE STEPS WERE TAKEN BY FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
 AND SECRETARY M'ADoo.
SPECIAL REDISC0UNT LOANS
$15,ooo,ooo as An Initial Deposit Will Be Made in the Federal Reserve Banks at Richmond, Dallas
 and Atlanta.

Washington. - Definite steps were taken by the Federal Reserve Board and Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo 10 extend aid to cotton growers and to clear the way for handling the fall crop without last years uncertainty and difficulty.
 The board issued new regulations, authorizing federal reserve banks to give special rediscount rates on prom issory notes secured by warehouse re- ceipts for staple agricultural products, with the restriction that member banks which avail themselves of this rate must not charge more than six per cent to the borrower
 MT. McAdeo announced he soon would deposit $5,000,0O0 in gold as an initial deposit in each of the federal reserve banks at Richmond. Atlanta and Dallas. Fifteen million dollars more is to be deposited later
 The secretary said that if conditions showed the need of deposits elsewhere to aid in handling any other crop be would extend similar aid.
 The new regulations are broad enough to supply to all staple readily marketable crops, but it is we'll known that the cotton crop is the one that has given concern of late.
 The board announced that the re serve banks in Atlanta and Dallas al ready had requested a rediscount rate of three per cent on the sort of paper approved in the regulations.
 The announcements followed meet ings that have occupied the time of the board and MT McAdoo most of the last two days. The secretary's proposal several months ago of depos- its of government funds in Southern reserve banks alone was not favored by several members of the board. but it was not opposed during the recent discussions. Some members indicat- ed. however, that as the total cotton crop probably would be worth about S800,000000 they did not think S30.- 100000 would go far toward hano- ling it.

SOME TIMELY HINTS

Water the sweet peas lavishly about the roots and be generous with the blooms. Allow no seed pods if you want flowers.
 Cut everlasting and grasses as soon as the flowers are fully opened. tie in punches, hang head down, and dry in the shade, for winter bouquets.
 Fasten dahlias, and other brittle stalked tall growers to some support, to protect from storms of wind
 Fine. well-rotted manure is good mulch for tea roses. Prune by cutting the blossoms lavishly with long stems, in order to induce vigorous blooming branches.
