for the farmer One New England
farmer, this last season, planted three
acres Of beans. The season was poor,
and he only got sixteen bushels per

a bushel, and after paving for seed
and later for land rent and for ferti-
lizer, he had SO an acre left or a
little over 5000 from his three-acre
field. Even poor land will grow crops
of beans. The amount of fertilizer
needed is small-around 800 pound,
per acre. Most of the work can bt

miles an hour from a standing start.

The mission Of the tongue is to pro-

tongue should be used TO discharge
vast volumes of detailed, itcmized con

One has to wonder whether the Yale

Children Are Neglected.
[ Rutland NeWs.

A" 1t is not pleasant nor encouraging
to read that the state industrial school
at Eergennes is crowded with over 300
students in space designed to give
accommodations to 260. There is fault
in our local town and city units when
so many children are sent to Vergennes.
Probably the main trouble arises from
the fact that most of us give no atten-
ton TO children outside our immediate
family circles, and undoubtedly the
number committed at Vergennes could
be reduced by something in the way of
cooperative effort in having Juvenile
offenders placed on probation, and then
in assisting and guiding them along
right paths during their impressionable
years. '-Brattleboro Reformer.
Probably not community in Yer
mont is doing justice by its youth
While every town has its multitude OF
clubs for the social enjoyment or up
lift of adults, the children are neglected
TO a greater or less extent.

8 If the coat fits you. put It on"

Judging by the comments in various
papers Brattleboro has aroused no lit
tie envy i'll other towns by voting to
engage an experienced highway engi-
neer to look after its road work SO
far as The Meddler has noticed the con
sensus Of opinion as expressed in vari-
Gus newspaper paragraphs is that this
town has done what many other towns
in Vermont should do; namely, hire
competent man whose sole duty will be
to spend the town s road money in the
most efficient way possible. Certainly.
the experiment will be watched with in
terest during the coming year, not only
by Brattleboro taxpayers but by resi-
dents of other Vermont towns who are
under the impression that the greater
part of ~the highway appropriations of
past years has been wasted through a
sbiftless system Of administration.
The engagement Of a highway engi-
neer on a straight salary basis is step
in the direction of more businesslike
| conduct of all municipal affairs. and
The Meddler hopes that the experiment
will prove so successful locally as to be
come a strong argument in favor OF
J delegating the management Of all town
