The Press Excursion.

The Vermont Press Association was
favored last week with fine days and sunny
skies on its trip through most beautiful
region and at its meeting on the shores of the
gem of inland waters, Lake George. The
two parties from Rutland and Burlington
joined their forces at Saratoga Tuesday
night. Besides general representation Of
the editors of state papers, they included in
their numbers Mr.. and Mrs. Carroll S.
Page of Hyde Park Mr.. and Mrs j. X.
Batchelder of Arlington Mr.. and Mrs. b.
L. Benedict of Brooklyn. After doing
Saratoga Wednesday, the formal meeting
of the association was held after its arrival
at the Sycamore Hotel on Lake George.
President Benedict, in calling the meet
ing to order, referred to the historic
associations of the lake and congratu-
lated the association on the fact that its
mortuary record for the year past had been
blank. On recommendation of Colonel
Albert Clarke of the executive committee,
Walter b. Gates of the Burlington Free
Press, Arthur f. Stone of the st. Johnsbury
Caledonidr, Mr.. Reuben Brush of the Cam
bridge Transcript, Mr.. Leonard Fales and
Mr.. Il. b. Hildreth OF Brattleboro were
elected members. The following officers
were elected: President, G. G.. Benedict of
Burlington; vice-presidents, Warren Gibbs
of st. Adams, w. ID. McMaster of Wood
Charles S. Forbes of st. Adams; treasurer,
G. NJ. Stone of st. Johnsbury; executive
committee, l.. o. Greene of Woodstock,

ALL COMBINED WITH ADAM FoREPAUGH's
COLOSSAL ALL-FEATURE SHOW.

ALL COMBINED WITH ADAM FoREPAUGH's
COLOSSAL ALL-FEATURE SHOW.
The big amusement sensation of the year
will be the appearance of the combined
Forepaugh and wild West shows in
Montpelier Thursday, August Q. The great
dual show comes to Vermont after an enor-
mously successful series of engagements in
New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Provi-
dence, New Haven, Worcester and other
New England cities, and will be presented
here with every act and feature retained.
Through an arrangement entered into be-
tween the proprietors of the leading circuses
of the country, the Forepaugh- Wild West
aggregation will be the only big tented ex-
hibition that will appear here this season,
and this fact, combined with the long
established renown of Adam Forepaugh,
will undoubtedly insure a profitable
gagement. The press elsewhere is unani-
nous in its praise of the " Wild West -
department of the show, which, in conjunc-
ton with a complete circus and hippodrome
performance, is being given with precisely
the same accessories as when presented by
Mr.. Forepaugh 1913 consecutive times in
New York city. One of the prominent
frontier stars is DR.. w. f. Carver, the
wizard ritieman and ex-chief of govern
ment scouts, who gives amazing exhibitions
of shooting afoot and on horseback. Fully
two hundred Indians, scouts, cowboys and
soldiers unite in reproducing the thrilling
dangers, its bright side and dark-conclud-
ing with the graphically realistic spectacular
drama "Custars Last Rally" in which DIR,
Carver impersonates the hero of the Little
Big Horn, and which introduces "Lone
Feather" Yellow Bull " and other Indians
who actually participated in the fight.
The circus performance embraces many
novelties never seen here. The sensations
of the season so far have been A. Fore
paugh, Jr.'s thirty-horse bareback act,
and his wonderful trapez-leaping pony,
Eclipse" The three Eugenes, the Parisian
gymnasts, have also made big hit. This
act is said to be the most daring mid-air
performance ever attempted. One hundred
eminent arenic champions disport them
selves in two rings and on big central
stage and the thrilling and fascinating hip
podrome races of ancient Rome are given on
mammoth ellipse that encirces the rings
and stage.
Not the least attractive feature of the
combined shows is the GLORIOUS and gilt

Two Sides to the Case.

To the Editor Of the Watctman:-In the
WATCHMAN of July II was statement
among the North Randolph items to the eff
feet that the wide and sharp guard plates
are an entire failure and several farmers are
wiser and poorer for the invention" Wish
ing to find out what gave rise to the above,
we wrote our agent, Mr.. Calvis Harvey, at
North Randolph, and received the letter
which we enclose herewith and respectfully
request that you will give it space in the
next issue of the WATERMAN, along with
this explanation, for we are prepared to
prove by substantial evidence that when
properly made and adjusted, our wide and
sharp guard-plates are an entire success and
give perfect satisfaction.

AN anarchist plot was discovered and
frustrated in Chicago last week Tuesday
morning by Inspector Bonfied. Three men
were arrested, one of them prominent in
the Haymarket murder, and number of
dynamite bombs and weapons were found.
The plot included the death of the inspector
and Judges Gary and Grinnell and others
prominent in the prosecution of the an
archists, by the destruction of their dwell
ings at night. The colossal board of trade
building was to have been blown up and a
general reign Of terror was TO have ensued
Inspector Bonheld has in his possession
copies of the secret circular issued, which
differs but little from the famous circular
of revenge with which August Spies called
the fatal Haymarket meeting, two years ago
last May.

machine on the cutter bar, on which there
was only one whole button. | told him to
be sure and not use it until it was well but
toned down, which he did not do, and as a
result he broke four plates and as many sec
tons. He took them off, and | think has
advertised it as bad job. have not seen
a machine in operation with the guard plates
on; but from what / can Judge from all l
have heard of them, think they must be
nicely adjusted to do good work, Yours

Where the Fertility Goes.

In ton of timothy hay there are
so pounds nitrogen. worth $3.50, 40
pounds of potash, worth 81, and IA
pounds phosphoric acid, worth $1.21;
total value in one ton of hay in these
elements 1892. This 1892 is what
this ton of hay would be worth on the
farm for manure, provided it should
become necessary to buy commercial
fertilizers, such as bone dust, super
phosphate, etc, to keep up the fer
tility of the farm. If the farmer
sold $500 worth of hay at $3.50 per
ton, 40 tons, he would sell in nitro
gen, potash and phosphoric acid
that which he could not get
back for less than $316; $500
worth of clover hay, at $40 per ton,
would remove the same elements to
the value of 1866; $500 worth of corn,
$3.50; $500 worth of wheat at 81 per
bushel, 1925; $500 of wool, $50; $500
of milk and butter, $3S; $500 of fruits,
much less than either; $500 of cotton
and tobacco, more than any two of the
others.
Now. could we feed this hay and
grain on the farm in the production OF
milk and butter and wool and meat,
and get enough in the products to pay
for the hay and grain, we would retain
between 50 and so per cent. of these
fertilizing elements on the farm, as
only about 10 per cent. of these ele-
ments are appropriated by the animals.
So that if we pastured sheep in the
summer and fed the hay in winter, and
sold wool and mutton to the value
of $500, we would remove from the
farm only $50 worth of these essential
fertilizing elements, and the tendency
to impoverishment of soil would be
very little. We would tend to i'm
poverishment of land seven times
faster by selling $500 worth of clover
hay, six times faster by selling timo-
thy, 81 times by selling corn, q
times by selling wheat, and, estimat-
ing roughly, more than 10 times by
selling tobacco and cotton, and only
three-fourths times as fast by selling
milk and butter, and even loss by SELL
ing fruits.

Spread of Color-Biindness.

From the testimony of physicians and
railroad officials it is evident color blind
ness is rapidly increasing among those
employed in railroad and maritime pur-
suits where the safety of life and prop
erty largely depends upon perfect vision.
Few are unable to distinguish the cardinal
colors, but their variations give rise to
frequent confusion and uncertainty. A
well-known oculist said to me the other
day that comparatively few men possess
perfect visual organs in this respect, and
said that out of each hundred of his pa
tients not more than one-fourth could at
first sight distinguish between blue and
purple when seen apart, and almost as
great a proportion would frequently mis-
take some of the shades of blue for green,
or vice versa, while blue and purple gave
rise to countless mistakes He blames the
electric lights for much of this color blind
ness, though he does not regard those
lights as responsible to any large extent
for weakness of vision. He was unable to
suggest a remedy for this evil other than
variation of the shades of the globes
used on the lights. He said, however, that
the evil was great and growing one, liza
bic at any time to cause widespread disas-
ter and loss of both human life and prop
erty. The subject is one worthy of the
closest scrutiny and patient investigation
