Mineral Springs.

Filters Rutland Herald Poor human
nature is weak, has transgressed its laws,
aud is now looking for remedy. The
human system is very complicated, and
is more liable to get out of order, and
much more difficult to repair, than any
combination Of cranks, levers and wheels
made by the hands of man. As rule, it
is tinkcred too much, and badly tinkered
at that. 1t is often calomelized, narcot-
lied, depleted, and otherwise misused,
when all it really needs is wholesome
tonic and restorative like the Green
Mountain Mineral Spring water to put it
in proper trim and keep it so. The stom-
ach is shamefully maltreated. In the
first place the food, which its juices are
intended to dissolve, is too frequently
thrown into the stomach too hastily, and
in a half 1nasticated condition, in which
state the gastric juice cannot properly act
upon it. The result is dyspepsia. What
the dysieptic needs IS inyigoration.
Strengthen the stomach with the Green
Mountain Mineral water, and the stomach
will strengthen every other part of the
human system and make it as good as
new. Let us reason. Why does it do it:
pr Hayes says of it, in his analysis, Its
unusually large quantity of iron, held in
solution, is remarkable The principal
vital f,rca il, tho Human system i the

Endurance CT Cola by Horses.

The Ahelle Medicale contains The
following curious information about
the power OF endurance of cold b.,
horses: On the second Of January.
1916, an expedtlonary column oper-
ating in the mountains OF Bou Taleb.
Algeria, started for Setif with mild
and beautiful! weather; but on the
following night a severe frost set in
and snow fell in abundance, continu-
ing on the Sd and 4ih. SO that it rose
TO a height of nearly three feet. The
head of the column arrived at Setit
on the evening Of the 4th. During
these two days and nights about one
fourth of the men were burned in TIE
snow; another fourth experienced no
bad effects from the cold, and the
rest had to be sent to the hospital on
account of bad chilblains. And vet
none OF the horecs Of the four squad
rons, which, belonged to the 81 Airi-
can Chasseurs suffered the Sigh est
Inconvenience; ne Their feet nor tails,
nor ears were if"Zeh Tue pulmonary
affections were not more numerous
than usual.
The second case occurred in the
Crimean war during the winter OF
1356-'5?. The thermometer fell to
four degrees below Fahrcnheit's ze-
70; one of the horses had hoof fro
zen to the ground, which had to be
broken up with a pickax to release it,

setting orsf Fruit Trees.

= We herd neighbour, last Spring,
call to his son, - ohm have you finish
ed digging the holes for the pear
trees:" "Yce SIR" was the reply.
a curiosity was felt to examine the
"iolos = SO, walking ipto the garden
the rows of little excavations, resetn'
bling the opening made to receive
the seed in corn patch, met the eye.
The soil was hard and compact, in a
condition wholly nnsuited to the
wants of an orchard of fruit trees.
You'll lose your trees neighbor'
we said, ''if you plant them in this
way it is not only waste of money
but loss Of time and labor" "why
arc not the holes large or deep
enough? How would you dig them?
I'VE never make but one hoien we
replied "ior any number o. trees and
that embraces al area equal to the
whole extent Of the orchard"
This digging superficial pit in au
unworked soil, in which to bury the
hungry roots IT young trees, is q pro-
ceeding absurd ana wastetul. Fruit
trees should never he planted uatil
the coil is in lit condition toreceive
them. 1t must be pulvcrizcd and the
subsoil turned up and exposed to air
and sunshine. Good, well-rotted
manure must be applied literally, or
ashes and bone dust. which are better.
Look well to the planting of fruit
