The Wallkill Valley in art and story . els and ornaments, in art, in sculpture, in occupation.

Think of the delic-ious richness of that snowyfluid in those days. No mi-crobes, no chalk, no salt, nowater needed, no leaky orstolen cans, no inspectors. Inthe course of time as year fol-lowed year, cycle after cycle,century after century, the onlyrecords with which both profaneand sacred history have to dowere with the tillers of the soil,and the raisers of flocks andherds. You farmers may there-fore boast of your antiquity, foryou reach back even to the lay-ing of the corner-stone of thefoundation of the world. Youmay boast of men in your occu-pation whose history after thelapse of thousands of years is. !*..•« *• ?-??????? -*
