A Marrow Escape

Clinton Brabazon, of Thetford, came
very near to serious injury. Saturday,
while driving into town on East Vienna
st. The accident was peculiar in that
Clinton had no idea he was in the
slightest danger until the avalanche
burst upon him. He was driving down
the hill just east of the bridge in a
cutter while not far behind were pair
of bobs and team, the latter being
the property of August Yeaster and
being driven by Floyd Morgan. 1t ap.
pears that the team attached to the
bobs became unmanageable and rum
ming down the hill crashed into the
cutter in which Clinton was riding.
The result was that the cutter was abb
solutely demolished and the harness
stripped clean from the horse which
was drawing it. This horse and one of
the team were thrown down from the
force of the collision, while Clinton
was thrown into the street and the en-
tire outfit passed over him, SO that he
crewled out from beneath the rear pair
of runners of the bobs. The horses be-
ing thrown stopped the runaway,
none of the animals being injured, but
Clinton was bruised in so many places
that he has been unable to decide which
was the most painful. He is very for
tunate, however, that he escaped with
no broken bones and without serious
injury because if he had been sitting
on the opposite side of the cutter from
that which he was occupying and had
been struck by the tongue of the bobs
he could not have escaped being very
badly hurt.

INTERESTING MEETING

TAIN FARMERS
Topics Discussed Were Vital and
Brought Out Many Points of
Interest and Profit

The meeting of Vienna Grange, which
took place at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
l. r. Field, Friday, was attended by
about forty members of the Order, am
ong whom were several visitors from
Farmers Friend Grange. In the alb
sence of the lecturer, o. NJ. Field
acted in that capacity and supervised
an informal discussion of farming topics
which proved very interesting. The
first subject turned upon how best to
improve farming lands in this section.
C. NJ Eccles, l. r. Acheson and others
spoke upon this topic. the concensus Of
opinion being that keeping dairy cows
is one of the surest ard most profitable
ways of improving land. ''The best
type OF Dairy Cow" was the next
topic discussed, and there was consider
able divergence of opinion. For prac-
tical purposes Edw. Montague, who
keeps herd of twenty or more mixers,
favored grade Holstein and Durham,
of proper type, saying he thought they
were just about as good as the pure
breds for milk and better when the
time came when they were to be turn
ed OFF for beef. o. nj. Field told of his
experience with his herd. none of which
is registered, but of nearly pure Hol-
stein blood, and whose milk has tested
regularly about five per cent. There
were others who favored the short
horns and still others the pure bred
Holsteins. One gentleman who has
kept the latter breed of cattle for some
years, said that he had noticed those who
favored the grade cattle came regular
ly to his place to use his pure bred
sire. Then, there was considerable
discussion of the best method of keep.
ing the boy on the farm. A gentleman
who has made a marked success OF
farming, beginning with nothing. and
whose sons have always been content
to remain on the farm said that he had
found it very successful plan to divide
the profits with the boys. This, he
said, he did in no haphazard fashion
When the milk check was received il
was equally divided, he taking half anc
the boys the other half and it was the
same way with the sale of other pro
ducts. He claimed there was as mucf
opportunity for advancement on thu

farmer should get enough for his pro
ducts so that he could compete for labo
and for the interest of the boy with th'
factories and other city caliings. HI
asked how the farmer could expect II

ITO comply with his request cheerfuiIy
