HIKING IN VERMONT
Lots of Pleasurable Tramps in the
Green Mountain State

Some time in the not distant fu
ture, when the Green Mountains shall
have been discovered all over again
and are appreciated for their pictur
esque and "unimproved" beauty anc
their value for recreation, it may wei
be that trampers will "do" the Long
Trail as enthusiastically and almost
as numerously as have tourists walk
ed through the Black Forest in Ger
many. Over old trappers' and woods
mems trails, along logging roads,
through splendid tracts of timber and
upon the banks of mountains torrents,
for more than 200 miles you may
tramp at an easy gait, starting in at
the beautiful town of Bennington and
emerging away north at Johnson.
The Green Mountain Club members
have put red markers on the forest
trees to guide the pedestrian to con-
venient fords, and arranged shelters
for him at intervals of fifteen or
twenty miles. He may be sure of
warmth and a bed of pine boughs.
By deviating from the blazed paths
the walker may go to the SUBMITS of
half a score of good peaks-Mount
Anthony, over 2,9OO feet; Stratton,
8 800; Killington, 4,200, and so north
ward to Mount Mansfield, named for
the Lord Chief Justice Of England,
1864 feet high. Towers have been
erected upon some of the mountains.
Nowhere in New England may one
snuggle closer to nature, for the
'hike" means "toting" your blankets
and provisions and, for once, getting
far from the madding crowd"
1t ought to become popular excur-
sion, and it may be made, either in
whole or in part, with profit both to
health and spirits. Women have COW
,rd the whole distance and been bet
er for it. The Green Mountain Club,
With its neat red-arrow markers,
abeled sc. NJ. c." is rendering a real
service by its patient development of
his route through a wild" country,
unknown, yet within

Anybody can milk COW, but it takes 4
man with brains to milk the right sized
profit out Of them.
No man knows all there is about farming
let us all get together and learn from each
othel.-don't be selfish and keep something
good to yourself, pass it on to the next fell
low
The amount of brains you put into your
profit you will get out Of it.
Agricultural progress has been made by
men who were not satisfied with what was
good enough for their grandfathers.
There is no branch of agriculture that
take as little fertility from the soil and at
the same time returns as good a profit for
the farmer as dairy farming
The man who ]eanrs to get two pounds
of beef from the same amount of feed that
before produced only one is going to get
from under the mortgage quick.
The successful man in any business is the
one who can and will make use of the ex-
perience of Others-whO has the courage to
discard his own errors and adopt the truths
discovered by others.
A man who would annually sell a few
acres of his farm instead of cultivating it
would be considered very poor farmer;
yet, this is just what is being done when
crops which take large amount Of fertility
from the soil are sold off of the farm.

knew nothing about it, or said she didn't,
until after this boy was gone, when she made
some very bitter remarks about him. Soon
after the first child had gone an opportunity
came to form class of pupils to 90 to the
same school and the mother was asked if
she would consent to the other child's 90
ing to the same school where the first had
already gone. The second child also pleaded
with it's mother to give her consent but was
refused. She not only refused to let the
second child 90 with the first but took it
out Of the reservation school and kept it at
home. Up to that time both children were
in good health.
To-day the younger child which was not
permitted to continue it's studies at non
reservation school is in such poor state of
health as a result of confinement at home
with poor and scanty food to eat and in
poorly built cold and i'll ventilated house,
that there is grave doubt if this child will
live until spring. The youth who went away
to school was enjoying the best of health at
last reports.

MAKING FARMING PAY.

TO make farming pay, I feel that farmers
ought to do just what the merchant, the
doctor, and the lawyer do. They ought to
hang out their signs and have dealings with
the newspapers. They ought to select
some special and suitable name for their
farms to set forth to the passers-by the
special things they produce. People ought
to to know whether they are passing a dairy
farm, poultry and egg farm, or an alfalfa
and hog farm Farmers must pay more at
tention to the business side of farming so
as to sell in the highest market the things
that they produce.
Farmers must learn how to save money
in buying the things they wish to buy. The
farmer very often does not know how to
buy economically the things which he needs
to run his farm and his household Many
time he buys seeds, farming utensils fer
tilizers, furniture, clothing, and, groceries
at too big price, and often they are infer
ior in quality. DO not buy everything that
comes along just because the agent praises
it to the sky, and do not believe everything
y
nails about an article until YOU have some
proof of it's value, for many a time things
are not what they are represented to be.
Now, another way in which to make
farming pay is to encourage and help the
women and children on the farm to run
some kind of a little industry which will be
both {; pleasure and a profit to them; en-
courage them to raise poultry, help
them to sell milk, eggs, and butter;
to plant fruit trees, grape vines, straw
berries and raspberries and other useful and
money producing crops so they will have a
little money of their own and be more con
tented to stay on the ADMINISTRATIONS
