The Soldiers Home.

The annual meeting of the trustees
of the Soldiers Home was held Septem-
Der 10, fourteen of the eighteen trus-
tees being present, a larger number
than have hitherto gotten together
The principal officers were reelected,
and the standing committees also with
individual exceptions. The Home may
be said to be now substantially COM
plete in its appointments, and pushed
out upon its benefcent voyage to ter
inmate only with the muster out of the
last needy Vermont volunteer. The
addition recently constructed to the
Home has made of the institution one
of the finest of its class owned and OPP
Grated by any state. Its present capac-
ity is eighty-five inmates, and there are
fifty-fve on the rolls at the present
time. The aggregate of those regularly
admitted has been seventy-eight, and
of those temporarily entertained, thirty
two. Seven deaths have occurred in
the home to date. The trustees feel
that, with the liberal policy being pur-
sued by the government with regard to
pensions, the present capacity of the
institution will be sufficient for the
needs of the state for all time. A sep
arate hospital building, however, is
needed, and this, in all probability, will
be provided in due time. The report
shows an aggregate expenditure for the
fiscal year ending June 30, of S2l ,4S2,
of which SS,S06 was, principally, for
the new extension. This portion of
the edifice is one hundred by thirty
three feet, and three stories high. 1t
is thoroughly and neatly finished
throughout and equipped with every
modern convenience. Rooms have
been furnished by the Woman's Relief
Corps as follows: Windsor, Montpelier,
st. Adams, Bradford, Chester, Ben
nington, Brattleboro, st. Johnsbury
and Island Pond. Fifty-three dollars
in cash has been expended in each of
these rooms by the corps, exclusive of
carpets, linen, ornaments, etc. In ad-
dition, rooms have been furnished in
like manner by w. f. Hawkes. of Ben
nington, and Willard Grand Army Post
of Troy, n. Y, and Sons of Veterans
of Burlington and Brattleboro. II. j.
Deavitt of Montpelier has expended
800 on one room and the Rutland
Grand Army Post the same amount
upon another. The next in the line of
donors comes the Grand Army Post OF
Burlington, with $50, the Bennington
Post, with $43, and so on. There is q
long list of contributions in cash re.
ported from other corps, Grand Army
Posts, department of Vermont Grand
Army of the Republic, etc., in smaller
amounts, showing the deep interes
taken in the Home by these organiza
tions. 1t will be remembered that con

Quite an Old Lady.

An unusual crop of stories about old
people has appeared this fall. Perhaps
this is because people are older than
they used to be rather than more
numerous. One of the best of the
tales, and one which may account in
some measure for the prevalence of
centenarians in the South, is one told
by General Burnside: When COM
handing in east Tennessee an invita-
ton to dinner was extended to him by
an elderly farmer. The invitation was
accepted. AT the table sat the mother
of the host, lively old lady, but in APP
pearance extremely old. Mother"
said the general, "may l ask your age?
You appear to be quite old for person
who can get around as lively as you do"
She replied; Yes, my son, am very
old. / have lived here all my life. ]
don't know adzackly how old l am, but
l know that am little over thou
sand years DID,"

Are Your Hens Healthy?

Owing to extreme heat, moisture and
other causes, there has been much dull
ness and disease among poultry the
past summer, and especially among
chickens and young pullets expected to
lay this fall and winter. For this rea-
son, it would be great mistake to kill
off all the old hens when the moulting
season is at hand and the hens have
stopped laying, got fat, and seem to be
eating their heads off; because it is
fact that year-old hen, if properly
cared for and helped at the moulting
season to get her new coat quickly, so
she can be got to laying early, will lay
more and better eggs than young pull
lets, particularly if the pullets are
weakened by diarrhGa, cholera, gaps,
etc. Many people have learned by ex-
perience that Sheridan's Condition
Powder given once, daily, in the food,
will supply the needed material to
strengthen and invigorate sick chickens
or moulting hens and get them to lay
ing earlier than any thing else on earth.
Mrs. Edwin Brown, East Greenwich,
r. L., says: 81 could not do without
Sheridan's Condition Powder when
uCuS are lnOullluS. IL Is lnc Only luluS
to keep them healthy. l use it for
gapes and darrh9a; for when chickens
are small they often droop and die.
To pint of clabbered milk | add tea
spoonful of the powder, mix well, and
let the chicks eat all they will once a
day; it does seem to be just what they
need, they soon become so vigorous
People laughed at me when 1 began to
use Sheridan's Powder, and had no
idea should win premium. They
laugh best who laugh last however.
/ got more eggs than any of my neigh
bors, and some of them had over 100
hens. We Matched sixty-six chickens
from seventy-seven eggs, obtained
while forcing our hens to lay with your
powder; so you can see there was no
trouble about eggs Matching" |. S.
