them to get both.This is practical \u2018\u2018Arst aid.\u201d The amount in the hands of the Red Crooss society branch in Burlington for the alleviation of the flood sufferers in the western part of

resorts of New England.Of thie amount about one third of one column % concerning Vermont property.This partially shows why Vermont is not more prominent in the summer business, it will not advertise.Many farmers desire to sell their farms but will never make public announcement of the fact.Some of them allow real estate agents to take charge of the sale of the property and pay them from 8100 up for doing the business.The chances are that two or three dollars spent in their home paper advertising the farm would have enabled them to make the sale without further expenses.No man knows what or how well he can sell a piece of property until he has let everybody know what he wants to sell then he can find his best customer With delivery of farm products by parcel post possible every tartner who desires to sell his produce direct to the customer should advertise what he has to offer and he will be sure to find a customer.The merchant advertises his wares and finds customers among the farmers.The farmer shoud advertise and find customers among the merchants.A persistent and intelligent effort to advertise would convince any farmer of the value of advertising.\u2014St.Johnsbury

Children's Hats, A rosette made from stiff cords cow jered with bright red silk, marked ip the middle by a flat bottom covered with pale blue, 18 the only trimming on a child's hat of plain white straw.A little bomnet of soft white straw turns up from the face with a narrow brim faced with bright orange, and on the top of the crown is posed a little bow of orange ribbon.Narrow ribbon edged with a line of parti-colored straw buttons decorates the crown of a third hat and garlands of tiny worsted flowers in bright colors a fourth.Another is content with a bouquet composed of one big rose and two green leaves embroidered in the same primitive stitch, Very smart is a child's hat with a large round crown and narrow brim that broadens suddenly in front and turns sharply up against the crown that ie covered with soft silk striped in gay Bulgarian colors.The edge is adorned with little stuffed balls formed by bits of the silk pulled and tied into place.Rienty di Veillng Used.to make a smartly adjusted veil.Anything like a skimpy, effect, with.the back of the veil strained at the edges by a veil pin, is inimical to the distin guished and correct effect of the headgear.Wide veiling and plenty of it must be used with even a small hat, and after the top of the vell has been pinned to the hatbrim at front and back, the excess of material i8 drawn softly under the chin in folds and the loose edges at the back are caught down under the barette.The draped folds of veiling under the chin are like a stock collar, and with the throat thus covered, one may wear an open- look very badly under the eoat opening.Light Ratine.Everywhere one sees a new material, ratinette, being displayed; it comes in the daintiest colorings and with most alluring borders, either in contrasting colors or in the form of filet designs.It is very much like the ratine, but it lighter in weight and often J» woven more closely than the ratine.WHEN THE MIND FAILS MAN WHO SUFFERED CALLS AT TENTION TO WRONG METHODS.Prevailing Attitude Toward Insanity Ridiculous, If Not Disgusting, Ha Declares\u2014Mental Disorders Should Be Looked To.\u201cIn every line of mental research it 18 admitted that prevention is more important than cure\u2014with the excep tion of mental diseases,\u201d says Clifford Whittingham Beers, who created a sensation a few years ago when, under the title A Mind That Found Itself, he published a record of his years of insanity and of his awakening from mental death.\u201cOur scientific attitude toward diseases of the mind is truly amazing.We consider them as something unavoidable.We watch stupidly the disease running its course from a slight disturbance of mental processes until the first violent manifestations of insanity.\u201cIf a man presents the slightest symptoms of pneumonia or even.measles he receives immediate treatment of some kind.On the other hand, a patient who is suffering from disease of the mind, the most threatening calamity of life, must be so far advanced in the disease and so disordered in action or in speech as to satisfy a lay tribunal of the necessity | of justification of the forcible depriva- | \"tion of his liberty, must be told that , uses for Spanish cedar sawdust, which | he is \u2018Insane,\u2019 must be \u2018adjudged in- i8 very light, is for sane\u2019 and \u2018committed\u2019 by a court to an institution for the insane before he can receive the treatment best adapt- | ed to the restoration of his health.\u201cThe public should be convinced that insanity is a disease like any; ; other disease; people must be taught | \u2018to seek intelligent advice promptly\u2019 whenever something \u2018seems to be the | matter with their nerves,\u2019 instead of\u2019 concealing their fears for mere shame.| \u201cHad I, for instance, at the age of | .elghteen, when I began to worry myself into a state of depression, had access to advice and information, and had I, as a result 6f an established: and widespread Interest in mental hygiene, sought such advice as a mat-! ter of course, as persons threatened : with tuberculosis now seek the help and advice they need, I am confident: that I should not have suffered the affliction of mental disorder.Though : I took medicine for \u2018nerves,\u2019 I did not find the remedy I needed, which was a verbal corrective for thought and | fears which were to prove my temporary undoing.\u201cIt may take some time before a | sick man is no more ashamed of call.| ing on a physician for incipient insanity than for a cold in his head, but: let us hope that time will arrive even- | | tually.A campaign of education is\u2019 sorely needed to dispel the supersti- | tions still pre®alent in the public: mind as to the cause of insanity.® About Bagpipes.The Bulgarian delegates would have been interested if they had heard be fore leaving that the Prince of Wales was learning the bagpipes.For the pipes are the Bulgarian national in strument, as Sir Charles Eliot shows by a striking illustration.Until late ly, at any rate, the servants whe waited at the porte on the grand vizier were mutes, though not, as in former times, persons specially muti | lated, but children born deaf and dumb.They used a language of signs, with a special gesture to describe the representative of each nation.To in dicate the Bulgarian agent they imi tated a man playing on the bagpipes.It was not the Bulgarianes who invent.| ed the pipes, however.They are among the oldest of musical instru ments.An ancient gem shows Apollc with them, and two instruments in the Book of Daniel were almost certainly bagpipes.\u2014London Chronicle.Score One for the Cook.Young housewives obliged to prac tice strict economy will sympathize with the sad experience of a Wash ington

its sapwood is white; it is particles of this sapwood that appear in the sawdust, mingled in the sawing.But to the eye except on close inspection the ebony sawdust appears black.\u2019 The whitest of all sawdusts is that of holly, which is manufactured into a very fine pulp form, This holly saw-: ' | dust is used for floor material and also in the manufacture of some | grades of wall paper.| There is a manufactured sawdust called lemon sawdust, which is not made from the wood of the lemon tree, but which is in tint of a clear,\u2019 bright lemon color, this lemon saw, dust being used for the same pur poses as satinwood.| Manufactured rosewood sawdust is | of limited use; various mahogany sawdusts, Including white, are used more extensively for various purposes; that of a wood called vermil ion, which is a bright red mahogany from the East Indies, is used in making composition floors, sometimes for color squares, In cases where such floors are not laid in a continuous, unbroken piece.NOVELTY .IN TOMBTONES The accompanying photograph, tak: en in a churchyard in Essex, England, shows a novelty In the way of tomb stones.Framed in the stone, it will be noticed, is a photograph, a repre sentation of the person buried in the grave.The print, a bromide appar ently, is well preserved, despite its twenty years of exposure to the sun: light.It is closely sealed from the weather, covered in front by glass and framed round with a border of slate The photograph bears the signature of the occupant of the grave.AGED TORTOISE TAKES TRIP At the ago of two Hundred, or there abouts, a tortoise belonging to the duke of Beaufort decided this year tc take a summer holiday.It was missed in July from the duke's Forest of Wentworth, near Chepstow, Mon.mouthshire, and has been found at Newport, In the same county.The tor tor had walked to the outskirts of Newport\u2014elght or nine miles\u2014and then had been picked up and carried into the town.The age of the duke's tortoise is given \u201capproximately\u201d by the forest rangers, but it has hibernated under a particular rock In the forest for thirty years, and its great age is fnferred from Its.size and weight, It is eighteen inches long and weighs ten pounds.There is nothing unusual in such longevity; a patriarch in the \u201cZoo,\u201d known as Methuselah died three years ago at the reputed age of two hundred and fifty.| buldings, and $400,000 for walks and \u2018home from a trip to New York.She ;

years had auch trouble with slugs, cutworms and other insects, that they could never be sure of good crops.They then hit upon the plan of introducing iron pipes into the soil of their gardens and forcing great quantities of \u201cot steam through the pipes.In this manner the steam killed all these Insects, and also the eggs that were in the soil awaiting time for development into more crop-destroyihg Insects.The experiment worked so well that scores of such gardeners prepared plants for steaming the soil of their gardens, and as a result, after a few years of this, Ît was found that the killing of all damaging insects was by no means the only benefit that steam gave, in other words, steam proved to be one of the very best of fertilizers.So great was the fertilization of the soil by them that it was found the usual amount of fertilizer used would have to be diminished, or the ground would become altogether too rich for the best growing o fthe garden truck After considerable experimenting investigation it was learned that the increased fertilization was due to the sterilization which it produced, kill ing the phagocytes or protozoa which, under ordinary circumstances, keep down the number of bacteria in the soil whose opdratiors are of such great benefit in changing organic nitrogen into the needed plant food.PLAYED STAGED IN CEMETERY À cemetery was

Plants.shallow boxes or flats are considered best for starting seeds indoors, but pots do not take up ego much room, and are less unsightly, so for starting just a few seedlings or to try choice seeds, we often use a pot, writes Lulu G.Parker in the Farmer's Wife.We have started pansy and other seedlings often in the big pots in which rubbewplants or oleanders, or other things which do not shado the soil, are growing.The soil must be kept warm and moist, but not wet.For this purpose a piece of glass over the top of the pot will help to hold the moisture, but this glass must be tilted up somewhat in order to let in some air or the soil will sour and the seedlings motd or damp off.Sift the soil for the top layer and cover the seeds about twice as deep as the seed 1s thick.Press the soil firmly over the seeds with the palm of the hand or a little board before giving water so that they will not be washed out.For very fine geed it will be a good plan to spread a damp cloth over the soil and then sprinkle the water on the cloth until the seeds begin to sprout.: After the seeds begin to sprout they must be kept in the lightest window and never allowed to get too dry or to grow too crowded, The rest depends upon the seed it- pelf, therefore always buy from a reputable seedsman.PROFITABLE WEIGHT OF PIGS Should Not Be Fed After Reaching Age of Nine Monthe\u2014Money In Young Animals.Experiments made for the purpose of determining the economic weight of a plg show conclusively that he never should be fed beyond elght or nine months old, aad the largest profit is found, as a rule, in a weight not exceeding 200 pounds.What is known as the food of support, says a writer in the Farm and Home, plays a very important part in the profit or loss of large weights.Suppose, as many farmers say, that a pig is not to be killed until he reaches 300 pounds.He must take from his food an increasing amount each day to support or maintain the weight already gained, or else he drops back.The experiments indicate that 2 per cent.of the live weight in food must be taken each day to support that live weight.If the animal weighs 300 pounds this amounts to six pounds of food daily, or over 40 pounds per week, and as the only profit is the food that is applied to make new weight, it re sults that over 40 pounds of food are consumed per week from which no profit whatever is reaped.It follows that the most money can be made from young hogs killed at a medium weight.MOWING MACHINE IS UNIQUE Object Is to Provide Bars That May Adapt Themselves to Uneven ness in the Ground.The Scientific American in describ ing a mowing machine invented by A.J.Anderson of 22 Greenwich street, New York, says: \u201cThis machine is self-propelled and is provided with new and useful means for controlling the cutter bar frame.The principal object 1s to provide a machine having a plurality of bars thereon, the frame carrying the bars being more or less loosely constructed whereby these bars may adapt themselves to unevenness in the ground when the machine is in use.Mowing Machine.A turther object 18 to provide means for removing the cutter bar driving mechanism out of operative position in order to permit the machine tobe run over the ground with the bars inoperative.The {llustration herewith represents the machine in a side view.Egg Type In Hens.Many poultrymen claim there is an egg type in fowls and that they can pick out the good layers as well as the poor ones in & flock.\u201cThis clainf is based on the theory that certain pe- cullarities of form or shape, such as long body, wedge shape, broad rear, gmall head, etc., indicate good laying qualities.Bxperiments have shown that hens with long as well as short bodies were indifferent layers, and conversely good layers have been found with short bodies, as well as long ones.So far as tests have gone, thepry does not hold good.Mixture for Laying Hena.A splendid mixture for laying hens 18 equal parts of cracked corn, wheat and oats, which should be scattered in the litter so that the birds will be compelled to take exercise by scratching for it.Brooding Chicks.A poultry authority says: \u201cWhile much may be said in

a Remnant of What It Was PormemMy.Salt Lake City, Utah.\u2014The Great Salt Lake of Utah ranks as one of the wonders of America.The white settlers of the west first heard of this strange lake from the Indians.Col.James Bridger is credited with being its first white explorer.To Captain Bonenville, however, & French officer in the United States army, we are indebted for the first accurate knowl edge of the location, dimensions, and many vagaries of this saline marvel \u2018Washington Irving has immortalized Li Great Salt Lake \u201cPalace.\u201d the achievements of this intrepid explorer in & volume bearing his name.For him it was first called Lake Bonneville.The greatest dimensions of the lake are from the northwest to southeast, 70 to 76 miles; while from northeast to southwest it extends 40 to 45 miles, the dimensions varying according to conditions.It has an elevation of 4,218 feet above sea level.The water of the lake is so heavily im: pregnated with salt that 100 pounds of it when evaporated leaves from 25 to 28 pounds of the crystals.Thus four barrels of the water ylelds one barrel of pure salt.Scientists tell us that there was a time when the surface of the great Salt Lake was a full 1,000 feet higher than it is at present; that it was, in fact, a vast inland sea, the waters of which reached out to the northern and western boundaries of Utah, and even beyond.Where Salt Lake City stands was covered many feet deep.The Great Salt Lake is now but a shrunken remnant of what it was for merly.Its nearest shore is 12 miles from Salt Lake City.In a degree this shrinkage is due to the heavy drains made upon the lake by the salt manufactories, but in a greater degree, no doubt, to climatic and other changes.The \u201cPalace\u201d was erected from salt taken from the lake FINDS ROLL OF PENN'S SHIP Albert C.Myers\u2019 Discoveries Concern Ing Founder of State\u2014Has Other Records.London.\u2014Albert Cook Myers, whose researches in regard to William Penn are well

interesting story of how a single stretch of really good road has waked up an entire county to its need of better highways comes trom Kansas, and was printed in the Chanute Tribune.It begins: \u201cOne good, county-built road has done more,\u201d sald a farmer recently, \u201cto put Chautauqua county on the map than all township-built roads have done in ten years.\u201d The road he referred to was built last fall and early this spring by the county commissioners under the new county road law.It crosses Chautauqua county from east to west.Its benefits are just beginning to be fully realized.One day recently motor cars from Oklahoma City, Fort Worth, Joplin, Ordway, Colo, Coffey- ville and Independence were at Cha- nute at the same time.The good road is bringing hundreds of tourists through Chautauqua county who otherwise would never have seen the county.As a result realty men report a larger number of foreign inquiries about lands.there than ever before.The farmers are beginning to see the benefit of having outside people through the county and are becoming good road enthusiasts.Chautauqua was one of the first counties in the state to take advantage of the new county road law, which permits a tax levy not exceeding one mill for road purposes.That money is spent by the county commissioners.Its great advantage lies {in making it possible for the county to get roads across townships which otherwise would not build them.Under the old system one township board would build a good road to the township line and the board in the next township would do just as it pleased about joining it with a continuation of the work.Generally 1t did not join, and the result was a patchwork of disconnected highways.Now, with the county board in control long roads can be built and township Jealousies are obviated.Last year the county commissioners levied a one-mill tax and ralsed $13, 800.That was all used on the cross- county road.All wooden bridges and culverts were replaced with cement and stone.Much permanent work was done.The road today ls even better than it was when it was built.This year another one-mill tax was levied and the same sum as last year will be raised.The work will be done in other parts of the county this year.The farmers also club together and build good roads to join the county roads.A nelghborhood four or five miles back from the main road will join forces, set a day or a week and fix the road leading to the good road, and thus the good road system is spreading over the county.It 1s planned to make the third tax levy next year.By that time every one of the twelve townships in this county will have received an equal share of the county money and have good roads leading in at least two directions across the township.For a time there was much opposition to the county levy.Mass meetings were held in the townships not receiving any of the\u2019 first year's levy and the tax was denounced.Petitions were signed asking the commissioners not to make the levy this year.But that was last January.When the board made the levy this month there was not a protest.Those who opposed the tax at first have been converted after using a good road for seven or eight months.STONÉ ROADS ARE NEGLECTED Thoroughfares Not Made Wide Enough, Nor Substantial in Places \u2014Much Care Is Needed.\u201cThere are a great many people going to be disappointed with stone road, and a lot of money wasted,\u201d said Frank Van Natta of Benton county, Indiana, the other day.\u201cIn the first place they are not making the roads wide enough nor substantial enough in some places, and not taking care of them in others where they are already built.Some people seem to think that after a stone road is made it needs more attention.This is a mistake, for it is wearing down all the time.Whenever a rut appears it should be filled.Some means should be devised to keep the surface of the road smooth.In many cases the wagon tracks have worn several Inches deep.Water stands in these and in- fures tho road.The road drag might be used to good advantage to keep these tracks filled.It would also help it people using the road would be enough interested to drive all over it instead of in the track made by those ahead.We need to have a man to take care of stone roads like the section men do the railroads.They do this in some eastern states.We must come to it if we expect to make our stone roads oav.\u201d CANNOT IDENTIFY MONARCHS Old Statues of English Kings, Re- dently Restored to British lament, Remain Unnamed.The identity of three mysterious kings, in all probability kings of England, is puzzling the house of commons and antiquaries, the London Express remarks.One of them was recently removed from the Architectural museum, in Tufton street, to Westminster ball, where, high up in a niche of the left wing, in the shadows, he was observed by a member of parliament.This member set the ball rolling by asking who was this fine gentleman with the beard, on whose®head was & crown, and in whose left hand was the orb of royalty.The king's right arm is shorn off at the shoulder.In the ordinary course of events he should have held a scepter.His nose aleo is miss ing.On inquiry it was learned that two more nameless kings, apparently of the same period of art, would short ly be moved to Westminster hall from the museum in Tufton street.Fur ther, it was discovered that the nameless kings were only returning to their rightful home in the shadows of the heights of Westminster hall Sixty years ago the kings\u2014so the story goes\u2014were removed hurriedly from the hall to the crypt, owing to a small fire that broke out.Probably this accounts for their dilapidated condition.Here the three monarchs languished for about ten years, unnoticed and uncared for, until the museum authorities obtained the loan of them.Recently Lord Beauchamp decided to place them again in the hall, and the two others will shortly join the lonely king.The mystery of who they are remains to be solved.Apparently the work is of the fourteenth century Some say the three are the same king at different perlods of his life; others that all three are meant to be Edward IIL There is something tragic about the king who stands in the shadows of the niche in the hall.The stone Is blackened with age, and he frowns down on monarchs created by modern artists.The white figures beneath him each have little tablets proclaiming to all who they are, but the bearded king, minus an arm, scepter and nose, stands nameless, waiting his comrades in their similar sorry plight.How He Knew, With malicious chuckles the connoisseurs of New York are retalling a story, perhaps apocryphal, about J.Plerpont Morgan.Mr.Morgan, the story runs, was Invited by a Fifth avenue dealer to view a beautiful set of antique ivories.He inspected the ivories, he praised their loveliness, he even admitted their cheapness; but, shaking his head, he ended: \u201cThere's only one trouble.A doubt still persists in my mind about their antiquity.That, of course, is an Insurmountable objection; for in all the vast Morgan collections there is not a single object about which the shadow of a doubt exists.\u201d The dealer, exasperated at losing a sale he had counted on, forgot himself and retorted: *Tkat fs not so, sir.I, personally, know of five objects in your watch collection alone that are neither genuine nor antique, but merely moderh copies.\u201d \u201cHow do you know that?\u201d Mr.Mor gan asked haughtily.\u201cBecause,\u201d replied the dealer, \u201cI sold them to you myself.\u201d SLEEPS LATE N [TRI A Connecticut farmer, who is rather averse to getting up early during the cold weather, has rigged up an alarm clock, when set at 5:30, operates a big gong.At the same time the machinery unwinds a cord and releases a weight in the barn which opens the slides to the horses\u2019 feed rack and al lows the grain to run down.By this means, the farmer sleeps until seven, while his horses are fed regularly to the minute.Many Forms of Currency.Small change was more common in Saxon days than at later periods in English history.For, while the Nor mans coined nothing but silver, the earlier Saxons were accustomed to the use of brass in addition.The number of things\u2014not always metals\u2014of which British coins have been made is surprising.Julius Caesar is said to have coined leather money in Britain, James II.tried pewter and gunmetal and some antiquaries have thought that pieces of coal were once used as money.At any rate, coal was once & slang term for money, as is the French braise (live coal) at the present day.Enthusiastic Approval.\u201cHow did you lke the male quar tette ?\u201d \u201c1 liked

along.\u201d \u2018MEANS OF EMPTYING BARREL Idea: Illustrated Herewith Will Be Pound Not Only Easy, but Quits .Sure and Safe.Many ruralists now buy gasoline and lamp ofl by the barrel, and to empty same is no small job.The idea herewith illustrated will be found not only easy, but sure and safe.The barrel to be emptied is left in the wagon, or placed on a bench, so the lower end is just above the barrel or other vessel in wbiab you wish to store the oil.A plece of three-quarter inch hose of sufficient length to reach from the bottom of the barrel to be emptied and across, to the storage tank is secured and used as shown, says the Iowa Homestead.C shows the barrel of oil, D's the storage tank or barrel, and A Is a stout cord some two feet longer than the hose, B.The cord has a weight such as a small tap fastened to one end, and a bunch of Emptying A Barrel.rags at the other end.Insert the cord in the hose, and allow the tap to pull it through, until the rags enter the end of the hose.Place the hose In the barrel, C, with the rag down, pull the cord and rags through the hose, and quickly insert the end in the tank or barrel D and the hose will empty the oil in a shirt time.The rags force out the air and the air pressure forces the oil in to fill the vacuum.The idea is à simple siphon, and the novelty is the manner of starting same by pulling the rags through the hose.À piece of soft rubber formed into a tight-fitting disk answers the purpose some better than the rags However, old rags are always at hand and the rubber is not.Nitrogen Is Obtained Through Nodules or Tubercles Full With Myrlads of Bacteria, - It is but a few years since the agri cultural world was informed that leguminous crops obtained their nitrogen through the medium of nodules or tubercles; yet the average cultivator is quite unaware of the fact.It may be as well, therefore, to state the fact again, and to say that it is easily capable of proof.If two lots of, say red cloverseed are taken and an equal quantity ot each 18 placed in two pots with all the necessary plant food except nitro gen, the seeds will germinate and grow much about the same, and that is very little indeed.If now we add to one part some of the nodules or tubercles to be found adhering like pin heads to the roots of a red clover crop, we shail soon see the difference in the rapidly increased growth of the plants in the pots in question.ow each of the nodules or tubercles in question is cram full with myriads of bacteria, and these bacteria it ls which by obtaining nitrogen from the air pass it on to the clover, roots, etc, and give to the latter and to the clover plants that nitrogen - without which they could not live.Thus a soil of leguminous crop requiring nit rogen can be infected with the nitro gen bacterium, and inoculation here, as In other departments of human af fairs, 18 found of utility to man.Erroneous Practice of Withholding Grain From Horses When Green Stuff Comes In.There is not uncommonly woeful bad mangement in feeding heavy horses; others, too, for that matter.It is toc much the practice at the season when green stuff comes in to withhold a large portion of the grain.Of course, the idle horse will put on flesh of a sort much faster on green stuff than if fed on hay in the stable, but the condition becomes of s0 soft a nature as to be little suited where daily toil is required, or hard flesh and muscles are absolutely essential there.Later on in the summer, when herb age matures and holds no excess of sap, the case is rather different, but even then to withhold the grain tc any great extent is bad policy, and fe sure to tell against the horse soonet or later\u2014sooner in the way of por spiring and weakened state, and later in but a poor state against winter.Real 8olence.After all real science in farming, just as in everything else, means nothing more than knowing things Without the knowledge there can be no science.Keep Your Hay.Don\u2019t sell yourseif short of hay for the sake of a little ready cash.You might better have several tons to sell in the spring than to have savaral tons to buy in the spring.SOIL OF LEGUMINOUS CROPS BAD
