Washburn Also Likes Fried Rat.
Here is what F. L. Washhurn If

Here is what F. L: Washburn Of the
State experiment station says:
The enormous number of carcasses,
of muskrats which are thrown away7
after the pelts have been removed is a.
waste of food. The muskrat is an ami
NAL of most clearly habits, is most dis
eliminating in choice of food, and is a
very acceptable addition to the table,
The writer can speak from personal
experience to the effect that when
cooked as rabbits are cooked the meat
of the muskrat is extremely palatable.
AS matter Of fact muskrats are sold
for food in some of the eastern mar
kets and some hunting clubs in the.
east have annual banquets in which,
the muskrat forms the chief dish. In
some places this animal is known as
the marsh rabbit"
It is to be hoped that this means of
reducing the cost Of living, although
slight, may not be overlooked.

immediate result was the breaking
out" Of q revival Of religion so pow
erful that it spread over almost the
entire group of towns included IN this
Sunday school union. Would that
such results might follow our con-
vention today
Esquire Hale, who up to this time
had not made a public confession Of
faith, was deeply moved. When on
the following Sunday he asked his
class In Sunday school the question,
"What doth every sin deserve ?" he
broke down under the conviction of
his own sinfulness, and at once made
public confession of Christ.
One wishes that we had more ex-
tended history of this work at hand.
We would like to know how many
subsequent conventions were held,
and how carefully those devoted
leaders carried out their plan of ex-
aminations. We cannot repress our
surprise that thus early there were
evidently clear to their minds the
fundamental principles upon which
rest all successful religious training.
Nor is our wonder less that people in
the twentieth century are SO slow to
recognize the Importance of these
principles because they are funda-
mental
One interesting thing grew out of
Deacon Washburn's Sunday school
In 1912, Rev. Samuel Goddard, pastor
in Concord, who had supplied the pull
pit of the Greensboro church, and
had studied with interest Deacon
Washburn's school in his house, de-
cided to organize a similar school IN
connection with the Concord church,
though on more elaborate plan, and
with officers and teachers. He found,
after a time, that his teachers needed
to be taught in order to efficiently
teach others. Pastor Goddard there
fore held a class of his teachers, in
which he taught them how they might
become better workmen. So valua-
bic did this work prove that be decid-
ed that similar training for their
work would help public school teach
ers. In about the year 1914 Pastor
Goddard founded a school which came
to be known as Concord academy"
for the primary purpose of better fit
ting those who were to teach in the
day schools. At that time there was
not normal school in the world, and
the term teacher training" was I'M
known. But Pastor Goddard made
the fact of teacher training largely
the foundation of his work.
Vermont has a rich heritage in
Sunday school history. Tt now re-
mains for us to prove ourselves wor-
thy descendants of such worthy an
cestors, neither squandering the pat
rimony left US, nor failing to use it
so that we may realize and pass on
to it's legitimate increment in better
Sunday schools and more intelligent
workers.

FLIES LAY EGGS IN MANURE
Stable Dung Should Be Sprayed
and Removed Often, Says
Sanitary Specialist.

''The most effective method OF con-
trolling flies is by preventing fly
breeding" says DIR. w. A. Evans, an
eminent health authority and publ
cist "As a rule this means that no
collection of moist manure is to be left
accessible to flies for as long as a
week during hot weather.
ely eggs and larvae live for week
in hot weather in moist manure. There
fore, If manure is hauled away and
spread oftener than once a week it
will not breed flies. The advantage of
q daily removal is that it means no
manure boxes, manure pits or manure
piles, and practical experience proves
that give a stable an inch and it takes
an ell.
"The only places that have entirely
conquered the fly nuisance remove
manure daily. The only manure re-
ceptacles are small and portable. If
prompt removal is not possible the
next most effective procedure is treat,
ment with chemicals.
"The methods of treatment advised
by authorities are with borax, or cole
mantle, or sulphate of iron. If the
amount of manure is small and a good
deal of ground is available, spreading
in thin layers on the ground at inter
walls of three days or less is feasible
and efficient"

| AQuTOSS DY rev. Il. Ms uI10T u
Richford, delivered at the centennial
celebration of the first Sunday school
convention at Greensboro, June %,
% and ID.
| 1T is always interesting to trace the
beginnings of things. A remarkable
and valuable invention results from
fortunate discovery, usually made by
one who is trying to discover how to
applyf for the common good the simple
directions which Nature has long
been laboring to have men under
stand
A physical or moral disaster gen
orally crashes upon a man or COM
munity because some important fun
damental principle has been disre-
garded and this simple disregard has
been followed by series of condi-
tions, one dependent on another, until
the end came
! A great moral or religious move
ment is always the outcome of the
proper relating of influences which
awaken people to the recognition of
moral needs, and the effective co-or-
dination by which those needs are to
| be met.
Every great destructive event is
overruled by God to the final good of
men. Nothing quite gets out of his
| hand. Every great constructive
movement is inspired by God for the
working out of His will among men.
Whether it be the sources of Gre
ated things-visible and invisible-or
the sources of the present great
movements that relate so intimately
to the building up of the Kingdom of
Cod" inthe beginning" God must be
the final explanation.
1 hot i L.
author of the laws which underlie the
great Sunday school movement of the
present. day, or that he inspired the
men, who, in the pioneer days of the
later 18th and early 18th centuries
found in the Sunday school the means
! of teaching the youth of their day the
truths of Gods word.
/ We are gathered here to celebrate
| the centennial Of an event which dem
onstrated the sanctified common sense
of a man whose heart God had
touched" And it will be profitable
! for us to see the significance of all
the events related to it.
The story is simple but most in
teresting. In 1903 Deacon Asahel
Washburn of the Congregational
church of Greensboro began to gath
er the members of his family togeth-
4 Ct DIS q CLASS EACH DQIGdy SNSu4AAEs
teaching them to recite portions of
scripture, hymns and the shorter cat
echism. He explained those parts
which were obscure, and gave practi-
cal lessons to each member of his
family class according to the mental
and spiritual need of each as the god
~ father understood it. If every
/ Christian father were as punctilious
in this very evident home duty, the
mission of the Sunday school would
now be more confined to those fami-
lies in which no religious training is
given, or no religious atmosphere can
be found. One cannot help wondering
what would be the situation in a COM
munity in which the Christian homes
attended strictly and intelligently to
this duty Of religious instruction,
and the church school ministered to
the homes lacking the religious at
mosphere. How would the communi-
ty life be affected? Would there be
danger of Pharisaism among the
more favored? Would the task of
the church school be more difficult
than now, or less involved?
J Ii In evident that Deacon Wash
