Farming.Newspapers and individuals do a great deal of urging the development of Vermont resources but their arguments are usually directed toward bringing in more industries, toward the greater exploitation of Vermont quarries, Vermont water powers and Vermont labor.Too often it is forgotten that the great undeveloped resources of the state are is tillable soil and its unproductive wild lund.The six millions of acres of land in Vermont is supporting not over one sixth of the population that it might support under modern intensive methods of agriculture and an economical, progressive system of forestry.More than that the development of agrioul- ture and forestry create a more lasting source of wealth than any line of manufacture or business.Fow men can hope to become the heads of successful manufacturing enterprises, but any man up to middle age, who is willing to spend six months in honest faithfal study of successful farming under a successful farmer and who will thereafter work faithfully under improved methods, can be practically assured of being able to support his family in comfort and lay by a competency for old age.We need some good agricultural schools to teach the development of Vermont's greatest and least appreciated souggeof wealth.oy ~ Teach the Girlsto Cook.Here is food for thought on the part of those interested in the subject of education\u2014a

to reduce the tax of ten cents a pound on all of the stuff colored in imitation of butter.The trust would be pleased with a tax of only two cents a pound.Senator Proctor was succeeded as chairman of the agricultural committee by a man who is not unfriendly to the idea, we are informed.Speaker Cannon, a product of the beef trust state, is not averse to helping his great state interest, it is said.The two departed sons ot Vermont have been succeeded by men of great ability but not yet so all powerful in Congress.The farmers of Vermont should prepare for the coming conflict and back up the Vermont delegation in no uncertain way in its opposition to the new move of the beef trust, which is the real beneficiary of the oleo business.\u2014Morris- ville Messenger.Pomona Grange

\u2014 county court at which time the Ides secured a verdict of slightly over $14- 000, it being alleged that the railroad\u2019s engines were responsible for burning of the Ide mill.It was gost amount ever awarded by a jury in the county.The case was appealed to the supreme court, the result being that the cause was remanded.The amount agreed upon in the settlement effected by the attorneys for the interested parties was $12,000.A The Christmas Tree Slaughter.Somebody said in our hearing the other day, as he looked out of the car window and noted a passing freight train with its load of evergreens.\u201cA part of this Christmas tree cutting is all right, and a part of it ls all wrong.\u201d A farmer from a neighboring town, who called at The Tribune office on business, was asked how deeply he went into the tree-cutting business.He replied that he had sold a few small trees from land which he wanted to use as pasture; but when the cutter wanted the privilege of goizg up into the woods and taking the tops from the larger trees and adding them to bis Obristmas pile, he was told, \u201cNo, oir, I don\u2019t want you in there.Idon't intend to spoil that wood lot and interfere with its value to me a fow years later.\u201d That was the practical and sensible side from which to view this question.Another farmer in the same town, allowed the cutter to use his axe at will to the extent of some two thousand bunches of trees.And we respectfully submit that he was on a comparatively small immediate revenue and forgetting the larger income that would aocrue later if he gave the trees à chance to grow and increase in value.The man who looks at the matter from the aesthetic side merely sees only the charm of the evergreen tree in iteelf and its share of producing atout ensemble that delights the eye and nourishes a beautiful sentimens.The aesthetic view may wisely be in- duiged in to a certain limit.even by- the matter-of-fact farmer himeelf, But the practiodl side,

they numbered seventy-elght, twelve more than at previous occasions of this character and this increase doubtless is an indication of a rational change far the better in the general interest in our schools.The children showed carefal, painstaking work on the part of the teachers.Miss Rickard complimented the zeal of the pupils in the preparatory work for the exercises.The program was given in the west room on the second floor of the school building.The schools are in charge of Miss Lua Rickard, Mrs.Ernest Green and Miss Esther Kidder.The program we here reproduce: Jolly Boys, Be Greatful, Primary Song, Our Country, Story of the Pilgrims, Grandma\u2019s Pumpkin Pie, Pligrim Boys and Girls, The Little Black Eyed Rebel, Mother Goose\u2019s Thanksgiving, The Feast of the Pilgrims.The children all did their pasgs exceptionally well and all are wosthy of special mention.The making of grandma's pumpkin pie was very cleverly done and the little folks had a fine time doing it.In the closing feature, \u201cThe Feast of the Pilgrims,\u201d all the parts were particularly well brought out.The costuming showed ingenuity.In such matters the teachers have practically nothing to do with, and have to borrow, beg and buy at their own expense the requisite material etc., and their meagre salaries are wrongfully encroached upon, for the town should be glad to pay for such things as are needed for such work, it is an important part of a boy or girls education, it teaches the lesson of control before others and the ability to do in public those things that are so much needed in after life.Cyril Darby made a good Gov.Bradford, he gave the proper dignity to the role.Porter Hunt was & very manly William Brewster.Arthur Pelow\u2019s John Allerton was fine.Roy Cosby as John Alden was well complemented by Irma Moulton as Priscilla.Jennie Audinwood brought out the homekeeping qualities of Remember Allerton.Isabel Barnett was at home in the role of Mistress Brewster.Roland Brooks as Miles Standish with his squad of well drilled minute men was à good feature and it was well done.Carroll Moulton as Massasoit and Chester Cowles as his son Philip, and their band of braves was very realistic.Edith Cowles as Patience Deliverance Hopeful Annie, was done with ber usual true interpretation.It was, of course, the work of children, but it was good work and it will serve to fasten in memory the historical facts they illustrated.The net proceeds was between nine and ten dollars;
