the cunning she has always shown as a cook and home-keeper.Doubtless it was a great plessure to her to show that, although almost at the four score limit, she could still bresk her own home-made bread

eomething of this kind enough to pay 60 cents a seat for it (?) Messrs Tilton & Raymond complain that some of their pulp-wood is being taken from the To'nifobia river at Rock Island and used for fuel.It is practically impossible to clean up the river after each \u2018\u2018drive,\u2019\u2019 but the stray wood is constantly working its way down, or it may be secured in the following season\u2019s \u2018\u2018drive.\u201d Tilton & Raymond are determined to stop the theft of this wood; they claim to have evidence that it has been openiy-car- ried away on wheelbarrows.The death of Mr.Nelson Bartlett, at his home in Charlestown, Mases., Saturday, broughteadnees to many hearts in Stanstead County, to which he was attached by many friendly ties.Mr.[ Bartlett was born in Stanstead township April 9, 1826, and was, therefore, in his 82nd year.He possessed a generous, kindly heart, as many in this vicinity can testity.He was particularly generous to the Stanstead county agricultural society, an institution in which he always took a friendly interest.An appreciation of Mr.Bartlett, taken from the Boston Sunday Globe, appears in this paper.The New England Supper given by the ladies of the Universalist Church, at Odd Fellows Hall, Tuesday evening was in every way a very successful occasion.The hall was tastefully decorated with green and flags of the two nations.The menu included, brown bread and beans, rolls and wheat bread, cold tongue and bam, salade, punkin squash and apple pies, ginger bread, coffee, etc., etc.The crowds that came, almost overwhelmed the committees and workers, but they were equal to the occasion and sll patrons were loud in thelr expressions of appreciation for the supper and the sez- vice, a right socisl evening was enjoyed.Between $50.00 and 800.00 were happy birthdays.the net receipts.Yo Three Villagés regarding several features of the telephone service, and we were requested to cover the defects in the JOURNAL, but we would suggest that those who are not satis- filed with the service write

the home of Mr.and Mrs\u201d A.E.Jacobs, Holland, Vt., last evening occurred the marriage of their daughter, Flora to Mr.Stewart A.George.Elder M.L.Ames performed the ceremony.There were over fifty relatives present, a very unusual number, and with the neighbors and friends it made a large home wedding.There were many beautiful gifts.The young people left on the evening train for Richford, Vt., and they will be at home in Holland on their return from their honeymoon journey.Messrs.C.H, McClintock, P.A.Bissonette, M.L.A., 8.B.Nerton, H.C.Jenkins, T.B.Rider and C.F.Bay- ley attended the anuual meeting of the shareholders of the Stanstead, Shefford & Chambly Railway Co.at Waterloo, yesterday, to present the petition asking for an extension of the Central Vermont line from Waterloo to Island Pond.The delegation received marked courtesy from General Manager Jones of the Oen- tral Vermont as well as from the officers of the subsidiary company, the 8.8, & C.The strenght of the claims get forth in the petition were admitted upon nearly every point.Mr.Jones said that while it might be unwise to push the scheme too far just now owing to the present financial stringency, he fally recognized the value of the proposed extension and thought it would ultimately be put through.Later a delegation will go to Montreal to lay the matter before the Grand Trunk officials Is the life of a roof prolonged hy painting the shingles?That question is being debated by local builders at the present time.It is answered by Mr.James A.Gilmore in the negative, clear shingles laid on the roof of his house fourteen years ago and subsequently painted upon three different occasions are now rotted out, while unpainted shingles have lasted for twenty-nine years on a portion of his store building and are still in fair condition.His theory is that the paint forms a dam at the lower end of each \u2018\u201clayer\u2019\u2019 of shingles, thus preventing the ready exit of the water which is bound to enter through the joints in the \u2018layer\u2019 above.The exposed portion of thesingles remain sound, but are easily broken oft because the protected portions are rotted out.Shingles painted in courses aslaid on a portion of the store building have fared better, their life being practically the same as that of unpainted shingles on another portion of the same building.Efforts are being made to form a Choral Union here in the sister vil- Jages, the object of wbich shall be the cultivation of good voices and the love of good music.Mr.F.L.Stone, organist at the Plymouth Church, Sherbrooke, will be the director, and his wide experience and acknowledged musicianship are sufficient vouchers for success to the enterprise if it is undertaken.It is intended that this Union shall be entirely non-partisan and non-sectarian, and it is hoped that a general interest may be awakened among our citizens.The season will end with a concert, the proceeds from which will be devoted to such public benefaction as the members of the Union may decide upon.A meeting of all interested citizens is called for Tuesday evening, November 18th, at 8 o\u2019clock in Pierce Hall, at which meeting details will be discussed and members enrolled.One evening in each week can hardly be more profitably spent daring the winter months than by communing with the masters of rhythm and rhyme, and our citisens will miss a golden opportunity it they do not fall in line with other communities and support peoject.thie i \u2019.stead Journa WHOLE No.3222.MAXWELL AUTOMOBILES EVERYBODY TALKING MAXWELL The

places would be shortened by twenty- | six miles.This would mean a saving of nine per cent of the operating expenses of all freight trains.In answer to a question, Mr.Pease said easier grades would be secured on the proposed extension than those of the existing line.These advantages were apart from the desirably ot relieving the congested condition of the present system which always exists in winter.A direct train service between this section and Montreal would secure practically all local passenger traffic to say nothing of the advantages of a shorter through line.Mr.R.H.Blain, in charge of stadia work in the international boundary, was in town for a short time Monday, coming over from Hall's Btream, where he went to finish some work after the conclusion of operations at the Richelieu a week ago.The commission\u2019s work is now completed from the headwaters of the Connecticut to the Richelieu.West of the latter point, the New York-Quebec boundary, was completed some time ago.Next season the Eastern section will be taken up at Holton, Me., and carried West to Halls Stream.The \u201cline\u201d will then be established and properly marked by a chain of inter- visible monuments extending from the waters of the St.Oroix to the St.Lawrence river on the New York- Quebec frontier.Mr.J.B.Baylor, U.8, Commissioner, accompsanied Mr Blain to Hall's Stream and from there went to Ottawa.Mr.G.C.Rainboth, Canadian Commissioner, departed for the Canadian Capital a few days ear- ler.From Phillipsburg, Mr.Charles H, Van Orden, chief of the plane- table party, went to his home in Catskill, N.Y., some three weeks ago.Mr.Van Orden is keeping in touch with the Three Villages by reading the JOURNAL, and in a recent note requesting change of address writes: \u201cRock Islsnd will long bave a warm spot in our hearts.It is a great pleasure to remember the universal kind- new shown us.\u201d \"alloyed success.THE ROYAL SPREAD.A right royal assemblage responded to the invitation of the ladies of the Methodist.Church on the eve of King Edwnrd\u2019s birthday, and all pro- pounced the \u2018Royal Spread\u201d an un- Certainly those who enjoyed Lhe delicious supper of chicken pies, salads, roils, coffee, cakes and the usual accompaniments, must have found eating and drinking to the glory of the King an agreeable way of showing loyalty; and, judging by the satisfaction evinced by the hostesses, as they counted their gate-money, it proved to be profitable as well.Over 873.00 was added to the Ladies\u2019 Aid funds, which testifies to the aplendid support accorded by the other churches.Nothing could be pleasanter than the relations existing between all the denominations of our group of villages; and gatherings like the one on Friday evening but draw a little closer \u2018\u2018the tie that binds.\u201d A large and remarkably well executed \u201cGod Bave the King\u2019 seemed the central fact in the decoration scheme.The host of iittle flags adorning walls and tables, the large flag draperies, the various pictures of our King, as well as the tiny Union Jack badges, which were so effective on the white gowns of the waiters, were simply the celebration of the great sentiment expressed in this national prayer.Mr.Clendinnen was very happy in the rble of chairman and he and Dr.Flanders had the close attention and warm sympathy of their audience in their loyal sentiments.Rev.J.G.Hindley and Rev.J.N.Emery assisted in prayer and benediction.The remainder of the programme consisted in rousing national songs by the College students, and a recitation by little Miss Boshart and song by Miss Thomas, both of the Collage.Each of these young ladies responded to appreciative encores.As was most fitting the entertainment wound up by a hearty rendering of \u201cGod Save the King,\u201d to which was added in the true spirit of national courtesy the twin-anthem \u201cMy Country \u2019tie of Thee!\u201d WOMAN'S READING CLUB, Tuesday afternoon, November 12, the Club met, for its first programme of this season, at the home of Miss Robinson.Over thirty people were present in spite of the fact that several members were unavoidably absent.Three new paînes were added to the list of mem- ers.\u201cOurrent Events\u2019 proved so fertile a field of discovery, that fearing to make the entertainment burdensome for length, one number was omitted.Mrs.A.H.Moore, Mrs.E.W.Hov- ey and Mrs.Cowles gave very interesting readings.Mrs.Emery was delightfully chatty in her breezy little talk on things of interest, seen and done, during her recent trip to Washington.Mrs.Waterman gave an excellent paper on two of the vital issues of the day; \u201cFinance\u201d and \u201cImmigration.\u201d The music was unusually pleasing in quality.Miss Stevens played a \u2018\u2018Homoresque\u2019\u2019 by Tchaikowski.Mrs.0.F.Caswell and Miss Stevens sang a duett.Miss Hutchinson sang \u2018Ina Year,\u201d by Brahms and added a charming encore.December 3, the Club are to meet at Brookline Hall with the President.Gilbert Parker and his new novel, \u201cThe Weavers\u2019\u2019 will furnish an afternoon of much interest, Roll call, it is suggested, will call for quotations from favorite Canadian authors.The members are reminded that unctuality is desizable and that = is the hour.3 Ps RARE ton have started s bakery in bay 116 Magoon block, West Desky.QJ people in Chester predict à milé VERMONT ITEMS.Geo.Stoddard and son Fred of Bar- winter because the husks of corn are very thin, the aquirrels hare Bob stored as large s supply of nuts as usual and the have not made much honey.- Oolby Stoddard of Barton bas sc- ted a position as editor of the Middleboro,\u2019 ( Mass.)

#1.50 to 81.75 per hundred pounds.- Ezra Edson of Cheeter, aged 87 years, has this year planted and taken care of three fourthe of an acre of potatoes, raising 130 bushels.He has husked 200 bushels of corn this fall and between times taken long walks each day to keep in condition for more hard work to come.The Windsor Machine company discharged upwards of 100 men because of the disturbed condition of the New York money market and the suspension of the Westinghouse concerns at Pittsburg.That the step was only a precautionary one is shown by the fact that nearly 50 of the men have been taken back.George Tudor of Brattleboro will leave soon for the White mountains where he has taken the contract to saw about 50,000,000 feet of lumber.Several years will bé required to complete the job.Mr.Tudor formerly carried on extensive lumbering operations in Stratton and will use some of his machinery in his new contract.Andrew Getchell of Calais, who refused to send his daughter to school when ordered to do so by the truant officer, pleaded guilty to the charge and was fined 815 with costes of $8.91.The court suspended the fine after giving Mr.Getchell some good advice, and he paid the costs, promising in future to keep all his children in school.The Green Mountain Packing company of St.Albans has been working a full force overtime for some weeks and is yet badly behind with its orders, especially beans.Pumpkins have been canned at the rate of 25 tons a day for a brief period.Sweet corn was only about a half crop.Squash, apples, pears and beets are the other products.Darwin Rider, aged 86 years, one of the oldest and most widely known hotel men in New England, was found dead November 3rd, in a toilet room of the Brandon hotel he has conducted for the past three years.Mr.Rider was apparently in his usual health in the morning when he appeared for breakfast.When he did not come to dinner a search was made with the re- | .wilt above stated.During the thunder shower last Thursday morning lightning struck a tree in the Grout pasture on the Charleston road, Derby.Mr.Cook, who works for Rufus Kelly, was going along in the road on the way to his work and the bolt threw him to the ground, affecting him so that be was obliged to crawl on hands and knees to Mr.Haywood\u2019s, where it took some time to recover from the ran Last spring H.N.Barnes of North Troy sold his large herd of cattle.Having disposed of his stock, Mr.Barnes, some weeks ago sold 200 tone of hay to be \u2018shipped to a farmer at Perth, Ont.Having ascertained that between the freight rates for carrying cattle and hay, there is a wide difference, the Ontario farmer bas decided to ship 100 Holetein cattle to Mr.Barnes\u2019s farm to be wintered instead of shipping the 200 tons of hay bought of Mr.Barnes, to Ontario.William A.Cole, aged 70 years, a leading citizen of Putney and owner of the big paper mill operated by the W.A.Oole Paper company, died on the 3rd inst.,

service.Nearly 500 patients in the State hospital for the insane at Waterbury are supported entirely by the State, more than two-thirds of all the patients in the institution, and the cost per week is 62.40 each.At the Brattleboro retreat there are 97 alleged pauper patients.A law passed by the last Legislature makes the cost of support of insane patients a charge against their estates or any trust funds held for them, or against their relatives if they are able to pay such charges.The drop in the prices of copper and the general dullness of the market has affected the Vermont mines and those in the vicinity of Bradford have shut down.The Pike Hill mine, near Corinth, which employs about 60 men, has been closed and the men are out of work.No time is set for a reopening of the mines, it being stated that this depends upon the market.The Smith and Higley mines near Bradford, employing about the same number of operatives as the Pike Hill mipe, are also closed.Many of the people at Barton Landing and in that vicinity experienced the sensations which come to people during an earthquake, Tuesday morning, Nov.56th, between seven and eight o\u2019clock.There was a sound like a distant explosion and a trembling of the earth which was very noticeable.It is said to have been more severe in Irasburg and near the Lowell Mountain, people from that section stating that the shock was so distinct as to silence all doubts as to its being a real earthquake.The shake was accompanied by a roar which seemed to come from the south, some people affirm.The Bellows Falis Board of Trade is much

come for trial was that of State vs.Dwight A.Niles, charged with the murder of his wife.Contrary to all expectations, Niles entered a plea of guilty of murder in the second degree which the State accepted.Judge Miles then sentenced him to life imprisonment.This is the first murder case which has been in this court for many years and it is the saddest.It is said that Niles knows things about the case he will not disclose, preferring to take a life sentence.Sheriff Miles took the prisoner to State prison on Tuesday morning.After the sentencing of Niles.the court took a recess until Monday, November 11, at which time the Howard case will come up for trial The crime for which Niles plead guilty was committed last spring at Newport Center when he bhot and instantly killed bis young wife, who had refused to live with him.Heshot her down at the gate of her parent's home.Fleeing, he hid in swamps but was recognized when on a train near Richford: Arrested and confined in the jail, there

[Newport Express and Standard] The discharge of the \u2018Rocky Mountain Trout\u201d man who was arrested last week for having lake trout in bis possession out of season, and who claimed he got them the other side of the line, brings up a condition of affairs that would almost make it seem impossible to bring about & conviction.It certainly wiil be impossible unless there is some understanding between the Canadian and United States officials in the matter.As we uuder- stand it some of these fish are allowed to enter the States without any duty being paid, while other assignments are charged at the rate of one cent a pound.The excuse for the \u201cno charge\u201d is the small amount of fish brought in.Now we would like to ask by what authority a custom house officer has to accept duty upon any contraband fish, or even to allow them to enter.the States with or without duty?When the law is on, these fish become the property of the Canadian government.The man who has these fish in bis possession at such time certainly holds contraband goods and the custom officials must know it.Now have they a right to allow these fish to enter the states, with or without duties, under the conditions named?Surely no other contraband goods would be allowed to pass customs at any cost.Why should fish, caught io defiance of the Canadian government?Certainly the way fish have been swept out of Memphrema- gog Lake the past season, is enough to bring about some course of action and unless something is done the lake will be literally draiped.Where are the Canadian wardens that they do not keep watch of the spawning beds?They should be posted in these places well as the poachers, and if they belonging to the estate of George P.who the» tefl their duty it would be impossible to make

The campaign in Massachusetts, which has just closed by the re-elec- tion of Governor Guild to that office, had for ite main issue reciprocity with Canada.Mr.H.M.Whitney, the Democratic candidate for Governor, has been for some years now a steady advocate of that policy.His chief opponent, Governor Guild, the Republican candidate, is by no means a Lodge man.On the contrary, he has declared for tariff revision, and, moreover, is reported as having said to the President recently, that if the Republicans refused to revise the tariff they would lose Massachusetts.This attitude made it possible for Republicans of all views to adhere to the Governor\u2019s cause, for while his candidature was not wholly pleasing to the small wing who oppose revision, they had no other choice but to support him to prevent a victory for a still more dreaded propaganda.In regard to reciprocity with Canada the Governor avoided the subject by declaring that Canadians did not seem to be in a mood to discuss it just now.Canadians whose interests are those of the great majority of their fellow- countrymen, and who have given the subject serious thought, agree with Mr.Whitney that reciprocity would be a good thing for both countries.On this side of the line, however, there has been, perhaps, a change of opin- lon as to the means by which it might be brought about.There are obvious disadvantages attaching to a treaty, & and public opinion has gradually come to favor some plan of reciprocal legislation.Itisa fair say, however, that the whole subject does not possess for Odnadians the interest it once did.The feeling has become general that we should hoe our own row and not worry ourselves about what our neighbor is doing.He will do what he thinks is best for himself, although his view may be shortsighted and erroneous and hurtful tous.A fair interpretation of the purpose of the Cana- dan people would be that they will go on doing what seems best for themselves, but that they will never hurt themselves in order to hurt their neighbor.At times there has been commercial resentment againet him, aroused by McKinley tariff and other fiscal legislation which seemed specially aimed at Canadian industry.But that feeling has-largely passed away, and certainly finds little favor in any disinterested influential circle.While, therefore, there is no retaliatory spirit, there is a very strong feeling that we should make the most of our natural resources, that we should not allow taem to be depleted without conferring the maximum of advantage on the country of their origin and that we should take every available means of preserving and perpetuating them as far as may be.Seeking this end may make some difference in the commercial exchanges or |Detween the two countries, but our meow & cannot fairly ramble von wits] 80 TOC.L.JENKINS, SMITH'S MILLS, LL KINDS OF FALL AND WINTER: 80008 CR SR BBER \u2018GôOoËSs line of Lumbérmen\u2019 \u2018Rubbers is larger than ever before from 81.65 up to 83.75.Men's low Bhoo Rubbers 8e.up ta 06.BOYS\u2019 RUBBERS, ALL KINDS AND PRICES He's and Boys\u2019 Combination Felts Ru de NEV Buta & Ladies\u2019 Rubbers and a hes fiom et \"Use or Gon.Ko Prices Te I ts.ALL-WOOL AND FLEECE.; VRDERWEA 18 CHEAPER THAN Ame DEFORE.'

escort fled, leaving their charges to the mercy of the robbers.The attitude of the latter on finding that their captives had little money and valuables was menacing in the extreme, and the travelers all expected to be murdered that night.When the robbers were eating | their supper the star began to sing, and his captors were so delighted that they demanded more, For a time he gratified them, but at last suggested that he should sing for the freedom of himself and his friends.To this the bandits, cheered by wine and song agreed, and after having sung for an hour he and his companion were

Lillian was born in Farmingham, Maine, in 1859, in a family where music was the atmosphere of Her father was a violinist and her mother a singer with an unusually sweet, rich voice.Mrs.Norton's

question, Ms.Scott expressed the opinion that the trouble was over, and that as a result of the mission of the Hon.Rodolphe Lemieux to Japan the immigration of Japanese to Canada would be

occurred on the streets of a Canadian city, a young woman advising a friend to \u201clook away\u201d lest she should be sam- moned as a witness.When the young adviser was asked why she had given such counsel she frankly replied that \u2018they\u2019 would be sure to bully the witness and confuse her to such an extent as to make her uncertain of her own identity.This opinion defines the attitude of too many of our citizens towards any legal inquiry.The people holding such views are by no means ignorant or criminal but they are possessed by an unfeigned hotror of acting as witness.Is this an injus- tiflable feeling?Or have we allowed the ordinary inquiry to become such an ardeal that the average citizen eyes to oppression rather than be the object of bewildering and sometimes bullying crose-questioning?Whatever may be the cause, there is undoubtedly a growing tendency to to avoid any responsibility of testimony in connection with a crime or casualty.Those who could not be concerned by way of blame are nevertheless extremely unwilling to answer any questions as to what they saw or heard.They have a firm conviction that the legal interrogator is bent upon proving them fools or prevaricators and either category is unpleasant to the man who prefers to mind his own business.The public is possibly in error as to the legal attitude but it may be well to investigate the investigators with a view to discovering their method and manner of interrogation.\u2014Canrdion Courier.The federal court of appeals has just decided that the Colorado statute prohibiting an} foreign

Nelson Bartlett, an honored citizen of Charlestown, highly respected by all who knew him for his kind and charitable disposition, a prominent member of fraternal societies and formerly treasurer of the Boston ice company, died Saturday afternoon at his home, 54 Monument st., Charles- town, of cancer of the stomach.He had been sick for the past six weeks, ever since his return from Poland Springs, Me., and bad not been in good health for the last two years.The news of the death of Mr.Bartlett will cause much sorrow among his host of friends and old business associates to whom he endeared himself by his honesty and fair dealings in matters of business and by his generosity and kindliness to many in needy circumstances.Mr.Bartlett was born in Stanstead, Que., and was the son of Collins Band Sarah (Brown) Bartlett.He came to Boston in 1846, and, in 1851 be settled in Charlestown.As a business man he was very successful.Shortly after coming to this city he found employment on a farm in Wa- tertown owned by Jeremiah Russell, the firm being Russell & Harriogton.In 1857 Mr.Bartlett and a Mr.Reed bought the business and conducted it until 1866, when he was one of the organizers of the Boston ice company.Mr.Bartlett retained his intereet in tne company up to 1893, when he retired from active business life.His position as treasurer of the company is now being filled by his sop, Frank J.Bartlett.Mr.Bartlett was for seven years a director of the Warren institution for savings, and was interested in the Bunker Hill national bank, now the Charlestown branch of the City trust company.Prior to the annexation of Charlestown to Boston, Mr.Bartlett was a member of the board of aldermen in 1872 and 1873.For 15 years Mr.Bartlett was a member of the Mystic water board.He was also a director of the Middle- sex street railway, which later became the Consolidated railroad, and later the West End street railway company.Mr.Bartlett was a member of Henry Price lodge, DeMolay commandery and Signet chapter, Masonic bodies, and the 990th Artillery association.He always took an active interest in in the affairs of the latter club and was for years one of its directors.The tuneral was held at the home in Charlestown, Tueeday, Rev.Charles Follen Lee of Damariscotta, Me., formerly pastor of the First Univerealist church, Charlestown, officiating.He was assisted by Rev.John Evans, the present pastor of that church.The burial was in the family lot at Mt.Auburn cemetery.Mr.Bartlett leaves a wife and one son.Another Appreciative U.8.Subscriber, In

turq farming in the Eastern townships and Vermont to look about for an economy that needs to be presented and discussed at this time, and if it ie possible make suggestions thas will cause the farmer to \u2018lock the barn door before the horse is stolen.\u201d I have been watching with regret and a spirit of protest the insidious enroachment of the lamberman, and I have been amazed at the blindness of the farmers in this section.The far: mer, as a rule is cautious in his care of self interest, and does not need very much coaching to be up early in his own interest.At every opportunity I have sounded the note of warning supported by unanswsrable facts, that it is agricultural suicide, almost, to allow the continual catting of, not only all the spruce, hemlock, fir, cedar and basswood, but the maple, birch and all the hard woods, as well.The only cutting of timber that any farm can economically permit is such soft woods as are needed for the use of the farm owning it, to keep the buildings in suitable repair, and such trees in excess of this should be cut to keep the wood lots perfectly healthy, and this rule should be made to apply to the hard woods as well, and any other treatment of this problem is uneconomical and unbusinesslike.All over the Weet millions of trees are set out annually, and some parts of the East are beginning to awaken to the need of conserving our forests.A FORTY ACR® LOT.Here is a statement of facts relative to timber growth and increase in valuation.For a convenient example I will take a tract of average timber land of forty acres, such as are to be seen in the Eastern townships and northern Vermont.The total average stump- age would perhaps be about twelve thousand feet per square acre, making a total of 480,000 feet.For the last few years the average increase in the price of stumpage has been about forty cents per thousand per year.The increase by growth is about four per cent.The percentage that should be cut from such a tract per year is about seven per cent., or about one tree in fourteen, and by this means a healthy growth of the balance would be assured if tbe other rules of forestry were observed, but in five or six years the cutting should be less each season, i.e., it should not exceed the increase by growth.This data would give the following formula or problem: The market value of this total stumpage would be: 480,000 feet at 87 per M.or 83,390.Net yearly earnings on this stumpage would be: Annual increase of 489,000 feet at forty cents per M.$192, also 33,600 feet total cuttings at 87 per M.$235.20; total $427.20.This ahows an actual net yearly earnings on the tract of 8427.20, but if we eliminate the increase of the value of the stumpage each year of forty cents per thousand, we have an absolutely safe proposition and earnings of $235.20 on the tract, or 85.88 per acre per year.In view of the fact that the three items mentioned in this proposition will increase each year under careful nurture; that ie, the price of all lumber tends upward, because of the existing relations of supply and demand, and the fact that one willincrease and the other will decrease; the percentage of growth will, of course, increase as the trees increase in size, and the portion that can be cut each season Will increase and its quality improve, and ultimately the net income from the tract will be more than doubled and the tract be improving in value from year to year.The time is not tar off when our forests will receive due care.All small growth of trees will be harvested and shipped to localities needing them for setting, even the gathering of seeds of our various trees is commanding more and more attention, and there is always a great dearth of supply.The cutting of small firs and spruces for shipment to the West for holiday purposes should be confined to forestry regulations, i.e., only cutting such as infringe upon tillage, pasturage and healthy growth.UNBALANCED FARMS, A great deal of lumber has been cut to pay off the mortgage on the farm or to secure an emergency fund for a \u201crainy day,\u2019 but in doing this many farms have been so thrown out of the balance that they are not desirable because of the lackpt sufficient timber for fuel purposes the necessary repairs of the buildings.Our agricaitural schools and colleges, together with the State and na- tonal agricultural departments are giving the problem more and more attention, but they must have the cobperation and the ateistance of the sank and file on the farms of the Eastern townships and northern New England, es this is the seed-producing area of some of our most important tress, with due apology to the soft pines of Michigan and Minnesota, the tulip, oak and black walnut of the Ape palachias range and hard pines of.She pbroposed railway extension from Wa- regions of the Bastern end.northern New England, which have done largely on foot, I find that less than 95 per per cent.of the farmers receive the bulletins issued by the departments.Many being ignorant of the fact thas they could have them without charge by attending to bav- ing their names on the mall lists of the departments.It should be the business of the granges and possibly of the postmasters to forward revised lists each quarter, at least annually, of the farmers in their section.In these bulletins the subject of this article is very carefully aud intelligently presented, and it should bave the attention of every farmer in this section at once, as it is & case that cannot be made good afterwards, and one is almost constrained to feel that a law enacted not unlike our law for its regulations, nor unlike our law for compulsory attendance of our children at school, would be wise, but I imagine we would hear the cry of \u201cpaternalism\u201d to such a demand and It may be necessary for us to wait until the \u201chorse is stolen\u2019 and the dearth and need of lumber is upon us, and then the conservation / of our forests will have prompt and intelligent attention.Must we always contribute a certain percentage of our efficiency to the bank account of folly?JOHN REDFIELD CHERRY.Teachers\u2019 Pension in New Brunswick.The Teachers\u2019 Association of St.John, N.B., last week, adopted a pension scheme to submit to the provincial Government.They suggest a pension of $400 for males and 8250 for females, who have reached 60 years of age, and have taught 30 years.Those who have taught 20 years or more and are incapacitated may prove their case before the Government and receive a pension of as many thirti- ethe of the pension as they have years of service.Teachers of grammar, superior, firet and second class licenses only are to be entitled to pension.The teachers of the province will be asked to coôperate in asking the Government to adopt the plan and establish and pay the pensions.Brutal Football.Earl Ruddell, an eighteen-year-old boy in the Columbus, Ohio, High School, was killed on Saturday at football.A few days ago the president of the Chicago Board of Education said football was the most brutal game ever invented.Last week the Boston

soon as the lambs began to drop it was eternal vigilance.If one slept too long a lamb was the price of the sleep.We divided the night into watches.The hired man watched until midnight, while the .\u201cboss\u201d watched until morning.As soon as a ewe had a lamb she was : put off in a pen away from the rest of the flock.Every few days we would .have graduation exercises, and each pen of ewes would move up a grade, If a young lamb were chilled the least bit of a blanket was wrapped .about him and he was placed in a , capaclous basket behind the kitchen stove.If pretty far gone a spoonful of brandy was poured down his throat.This will revive almost any lamb if he is not too far gone.The brandy does not make him drunk.Try it next spring.Big Gaine, Good Price.We succeeded in raising 100 lambs, | one per ewe.When these were old enough we nafled slats around a pen, placing these just far enough apart to permit a lamb to squeeze through.In , this pen were placed all the cracked corn and other fattening grains that | they would eat Tbe gains made were | almost phenomenal.Several which we : weighed at consecutive periods gained - seven pounds per week.The 1st of August they averaged

November, $2: De cember, $2; January, $2; February, $2; March, $1.80.The Vital Difference.Do you know that in some of the European countries today they are dal- rying successfully on land worth from $400 to $1,000 per acre?The same markets are open to our people that are open to those people, and no duty bars the way.The difference is right ;

but, with these inconsiderable exceptions, the young Guardsman has to provide for himself at a club or restaurant.The Guards\u2019 Club replaces very agreeably all the comforts and conveniences of a mess, but the prices which a first-rate and very select club is compelled to charge differ sharply from those which are possible under conditions in barracks.young r whose home is in London, or who can spend his leave under his father\u2019s roof, if, of eourse, able to make importan ance of £300 a year;
