Mr.. BiaeIow's Talk.

Among those who addressed the
Vermont Women's Federation gather
ing this week none was more retir-
ing, more widely known nor sbetter
qualified to speak there than Walter
j. Bigelow. Mr. Bigelow's expert
ence has been wide and varied. At
one time he was night editor of the
Burlington Free Press Later he
was mayor of Burlington At subse-
quent periods he was in the publishing
business and for many years one Of
the best political correspondents at
the state capital. Just now he is the
major domo of Howard C, Rice, pub
Usher of the scintilating Brattleboro
Reformer, a newspaper which many
competent critics esteem as the news,
lest and best edited daily in the state
of Vermont. Mr. Bigelow is tele-
graph and news editor of the Reform
er, a position that he fills with excel
lent results Mr. Bigelows theme be-
fore the federation was Echoes OF
Our legislature 1t is needless TO
say that his remarks were pithy, per-
.t.nent instructive and appreciated.

HoElNe CORN IN VERMONT.


tBy Daniel l.. Cady)
When witchgrass gets to sassing you,
There amt no other thing to do
But jest to say with singing scorn,
III kill you when hoe the corn
The witchgrass hears your threat and
The corndeld full Of extra roots;
shoots
You get your hoe and thus begins
The fight that neither never wins.
OF course, the tools play quite part,
In hoeng. as in every art;
A hoe with just the proper hang,
Is worth its weight in mousse mer-
ingue:
1t ought to balance, rightly made
About foot this side the blade;
You'll never use it let us hope,
To stir a mortar bed or soap,
The corn, we'll say is three weeks
high,
The weather hot, the sidehili dry;
You've got to get right at ii quick,
When, Shucks! the hired man takes
sick
There's only you and Little Joe,
The townfarm boy you took. to hoe
Which means your ribs must stand
the shock.
When that old cornplow vans a rock.
That night it comes to you that Drew
Down Winhall way is pepered too !;
You've heard he hoes. year in and out,
A hundred days or thereabout;
If You could Jest change works with
him
The hired man might sink or SWIM
Yes; Drew will change; he sends you
word
He'll be there Monday June the third.
He's there on time and brings his hoe,
And starts to take the outside row.
That's pretty tough you say IAN
right.
Says Drew, Jest kinder keep in
sight"
Hold on, you cry We've got to kill
This stuff by lingering every HILL
That's jest my rule; I've heard, |
spose
That hands were made ahead of hoes"
You're 50 surprised at help like that
Your hair most pushes off your hat
You hoe ong, and soon. says Drew.
How many stalks per hill with you ?"
The first time over, five' you say.
1T gives the worms a little Olav."

If I could express in words what l really feel. tnen everybody would know how grand Tanlzc is,' said Mrs. Narcisss Raymond of 29 Providence St. Tsftville. Conn.

Several Boats Rseor.rsd.

While Groton boat owners are becom- ing rather alarmed over the large num- Der of boats which have been found adrift during the past few days, the ma jority of the owners have been success ful in finding their property. Charles Noble who lost row boat last week, found the skin Saturday on the New London shore near the railroad bridge. Two small boys had found the craft had repainted her and otherwise reno vated her. Indications are that some one stole the boat, for the bow and stern lines had been cut. Mr. Noble states ttat he will bring no court &C., tion in regard to the matter.
 The three boats found Saturday morn- ing by Manuel Rose were claimed by a group of girls from the Girl Scout camp at Red Top. They had evidently been lnsecureiy tied, and had hoated away on the ebb tide.

WHITE LEGHoRNs OUTDIsTANcE
 OTHER BREEDS AT sTORRs

In the fortieth week of the laying con test conducted by the Agricultural college at Storrs White Leghorns outdistanced all other breeds. Orchard Hill Farms pen from Sandy Creek, New York, was an easy first for the week with a yield of 53 eggs. Kirkup Brothers birds from Mattituck, N. Y, were in second place for the week with production of 50 egs. Shadowbrook Farms bullets from Ridge field, Conn.,, were in third position with score of 4s egs. Three pens, all White LeghArnE, owned by Leo A. Grouten, Pennington, Conn, White Springs Farm, Geneva, N. Y.,N and Hollywood Farm. Hollywood, Washington, all tied for fourth place with AS eggs each. The total production for all pens amounted to 5222 eggs or yield of 46 per cent
 Some of the birds in the contest are now melting and this means, of course, that the egg production must continue to fall off from this time to the end of the competition. As a rule hens do not lay and mott simultaneously for like their owners, hens seem to do their very best when they attempt only one thing at a time. Trapnest record have demonstrated the fact that in general the la:e layers and late molters are the ones that also begin first the previous autumn. 1he hen that lays late into the autumn is therefore the. hen that lays the most eggs during the year. In general she is the best hen to keep. The early quitter is usually the poorest layers and the poorest breeder.

WONDER WOOD

The next time you go to church lis ten closely to the orran. You will hear some tones that boom in the bass and some soft mellow tones that seem to curl around you or wander gently out into the air. You don't know where they come from, but the organists will tell you that they are wood tones" and he will explain that certain pipes in his instrument are made of wood. The American Forestry Magazine tells us that the credit for finding the possibil- ities of wood for producing tones be- longs to Philadelphian. When the roofs of the city were covered with shingles Gottlieb Hittleberger lay aw- ake one night and listened to the pat ter of the rain upon them. He noted a good many different sounds and from his study of them worked out the wood pipes of the organ.
