"At the base of the associated Plymouth -Bridgewater hills are upwards of sixty abandoned farms. Plymouth once had population of 1,400, against 4S0 today, and the declining census of scores of other Vermont towns has kept pace with the land of Coolidge. State expenses have climbed from S26O.OOo Tn 1852 to nearly Ss,ooO,ooo last year, with an unchanged popu- lation."

The increase in cost of government may be larger than the circum- stances warrant, but may be due partly to the increased cost of doing business nowadays and the increased functionings of government. The vermonters are careful and prudent and there is little likelihood that much money is wasted.
 The number of abandoned farms near Plymouth tell different story one that unfortunately is true ot large areas in northern New Eng land. Their former proprietors' most of them, have migrated to the west. But the day has come when there is precious little virgin land available in the west, which ought to react to the benefit of those parts of New England which are suffering from abandoned farms" In inc course of 50 years there may not be any.

into happiness, or brake on hap piness.
 Love is a dance, and all must, in secret or openly. caper to its tunes. A woman who marries second time merely illustrates the we'll known fact that some people just can't say "No;" while a man who marries a second time illustrates the well-known saying that it's difficult for some people to let well enough alone.
 Whatever may be said against matrimony, there's one good thing that can be said for it. It keeps ones mind pretty well occupied

Stable Manure Values.

It is pleasant to note the gradual
change in manure-handling methods
a. a person travels over the country.
Formerly very few ventured to draw
out the stable manure during the win.
ter for fear it would leach. They
never dreamed that the teaching on
the open yard was immeasura5ly
worse than that on the field, because
on the pile fermentation IS constant
ard plant food becomes soluble and IS
Ieached out and entirely wasted while
on the field it Will almost always be
taken up by the soil and fermentation
ceases. A very fair per cent of the
farmers haul their stable manure to
the field nearly as fast as it is TEO-
dueed. The greatest loss on nanyNof
these farms is on the floor of the Sta
ton. It is surprising how few farm
ers have cement floors in their stables
and as a rule they do not realize the
loss they sustain by having the earth
floor or a leaky, filthy plank floor. A
farmer in a limestone country put a
concrete floor in his stable last sum
mer. He haS an idea that very little
liquid got away in his clayey stable
floor, but said: "Since put down the
concrete l can hardly get enough bed
ding to absorb all the liquid and /
verify believe I formerly lost half of
the liquid manure, and when / think
over it and the loss of fertility / sus
tanned with my As animals it makes
me nervous" 1t might be well il
some more farmers would become ner
yous about this matter. The trouble
is we do not realize what loss we sus-
tain until we have an object lesson
like this farmer had. Only after car
rying bedding and handling the heavy
manure from the concrete floor for
some months and comparing it to the
light strawy stuff he formerly handled
could he realize what losses he sus-
tanned by using the earth floor in his
stable.

Get Writ Against
New BeImar Pool

Circuit Court Judge Frank 7. Lloyd
granted a writ Of certiorari, halting
any steps which may be taken toward
the construction of proposed 800 600
pool and bathing group at Belmar.
The writ was granted on application
of Harry r. Cooper, former Belmar
counsel. Attached to the application
were the names of Cornelius @. Hill,
Julia Schwartz, William ID. Wehren-
berg and Olga Wehrenberg, Argument
ON the writ was set for the June term
of supreme court.
Mr.. Cooper based his writ on the
contention that the proposed site was
dedicated as a public park and can
not be used for a pr position which
would be available to the public only
thru admission charge.
Bids for the construction Of the bath
ing plant were returnable before the
Belmar council Wednesday evening.

Red Raspberries.

For red raspberries available for gen.
eral cultivation we have to rely on our
native varieties, those of European
descent not being hardy in our win
tiers, even in states where cold is not
severe. Looking back over the list OF
kinds appearing at different times,
and then the most of them disappear
ing after a few years trial, what a
LOT there are: Allen, Brandywine,
Crthbert, Rutland, Loudon, Marlboro.
Philadelphia, Reliance, Turner and
Caroline, yellow one, have I'll had their
trial; and today Cuthbert, now one
of the oldest known is still the lead
er of all. Reliance and Turner were
rather popular for a while, but could
not displace Cuthbert, for plant it
where you will it thriyes and bears
well. There is one of the European
sorts, the Antwerp, which pleases
many; the flower is excellent, and it
is fairly hardy.
When the burying of the canes in
winter would not be thought hard
ship the European sorts might well
be set out. Their flavor is better than
ours. OF these Clark, Fastolf, Fill
basket, Franconia, Hudson River.
Hornet, Herstine and Thompson's
Early might all be tried. Hornet is
sometimes elassed as native variety.
but it seems to belong to the foreign
type properly. Besides these red ones
the yellow one called Brinckle's Or
ange, wasyery popular in its day; it
ange, was very popular in its day. The
amateur might well take the time to
bury up the canes of these European
sorts; in fact, it is not unknown for
gardeners to bury up our native sorts,
they asserting that it pays to do it In
the preservation of the canes and
buds to better advantage than when
the canes are exposed all winter.
