Doyou ask, 6, Where can do this and
have my money absolutely safe 7" Let
US give you some facts. The Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust Co. OF
Hyde Park is an institution run on the
following principles =
1st. Not dollar is loaned without
the personal knowledge of some one OF
the Board of Directors that the loan is
safe beyond question.
I'd. 1t is run as home institution
Every dollar is loaned in LamOille and
adjacent counties. and every worthy en-
terprise in the vicinity of the towns
whence the deposits of the Bank come,
is fostered and encouraged in preference
to other investments, so far as it can be
done with absolute safety.
Sd. Under no circumstances is dol
lar invested in any western mortgage or
other out-of-the-State security. We
might perhaps pay our depositors one
half of one per cent. per annum more
interest by mourning little additional
risk, if no loss should come, but we
Believe there is to-day ''long felt
want" in Vermont for savings institu-
ton which will loan its funds at home.
1t is needed that Vermont may not
become impoverished. 1t is needed for
the building up and fostering home in
situations. Vermont towns will not
boom without money any more than
towns beyond the Mississippi and fin
Alabama. 1t is needed for the greater
safety of the savings of widows and Or
phans as well as of all those who look
rather to the absolute security of the
principal than to high rates of interest.
With no disparagementt to our neighbors
who prefer to occupy western fields we
offer to the depositing public the La
noble County Savings Bank and Trust
Co. as an institution organized to meet
the demand for strictly home Investment
Savings Bank. That such demand ex-
lists, and that the people are ready to be-
stow their confidence and encourage
ment upon such an institution, is evil
denced by the fact that the aggregate of
the small deposits alone i'll this bank
not counting any in excess of $1,000
were at the end of the first six months
of its business. $57, 19600, a record
without parallel, we believe, in the
history of Vermont Savings Banks.
4th. Under no circumstances does
this Bank take over per cent. Itwould
not, knowingly, make an investment
which would pay over 6 per cent. The
safest class of loans and securities will
command money at 6 per cent. The
Bank pays the State a tax of six-tenths
of per cent. on deposits IN lieu of all
taxes to the depositors. 1t must then be
evident that per cent. per annum is all
that the Bank can SAFELY PAY. This
rate it will pay. 1t is guaranteed and
rests ON no contingency. Interest will
be compounded semi-annually if not
withdrawn.

LAND LEvELING FLOAT AT WORK.


1t consists of two 3x4 inch hemlock
scantlings 8 feet long, set the broadest
way up and down. about three and
half feet apart, with four boards foot
wide nailed from one to the other, us
shown in the figure. Drawn by team
of horses and weighted somewhat this
float has wonderful effect in evening up
the surface by passing over the plat. To
level inequalities in plowed land the
driver steps on the float when a hump
is reached. In this case the scantling
takes off and draws along lot of the
soil, and by passing to a depression near
by, by stepping off the soil is released.
OF course if there are larger humps or
depressions the shovel sc-aper is the tool
first required.

A Long Ride.

In November, 1852, Capt. Pyevtzoff, a
cossack officer, started from the town of
Blelovetchensk, on the river Amoor, to
ride across Siberia and Russia to st.
petersburg, journey of $500 miles,
nearly quarter of the distance around
the globe. He travels quite alone on an
ordinary cavalry horse; carries his own
provisions, makes about fifty miles
day, and is armed from head to foot for
protection against robbers. He has met
with intense cold, the thermometer
showing 80 dogs. below zero, but he is in
good health and spirits.-Montreal Star.

A common sight in Texas is the prai
RE schooner bound west The prairie
schooner of today is little more yacht
like in its build than the typical wagon
in which the earlier emigrants navigat-
ed the west The modern manufact-
urer who turns them out by the thou
sand makes the lines a little finer, and
while they may not sail any closer to
the wind or any faster than the old
time schooners did they look trimmer
and more in keeping with the times. Ina
growing state like Texas dealers in farm
implements keep wagons on hand just
as they do plows, and it is not unusual
TO see packed alongside a store in a
small town where there is plenty of
room outdoors forty or fifty wagons,
comprising half dozen different styles,
each as well known to wagon buyers
by the brand of its maker as sewing
machines are known by their names
Prairie schooners under sail in Texas
are seen sometimes singly and some
times in small fleets, showing that four
or five families in a neighborhood had
same time and had decided to move in
company. In such a climate there is
no great discomfort in this kind of NOV
ing in dry weather. OF course stores
and cooking utensils are taken along,
and the camp at night is made if pos
sible on running water, and running
water is at all times a refreshing Incl
dent of the travel to the horses.
You may see fleet of perhaps four
schooners in procession, with men, wo-
men, children and dogs alongside or be-
hind the wagons. On the march, when
a stream is approached, the men, wo-
men and children Chamber into the
wagons. You see the horses of
the leading schooner when the cool
water washes their feet bend their
heads and drink deep. Then they tug
the schooner up the opposite bank and
move ON. Each following team does
the same and closes up again on its
leader
Some of these schooners carry the
household effects of immigrants from
other states moving into Texas. More
of them carry the goods of farmers
who are moving from the more thickly
settled parts of Texas into the western
and northwestern parts of the state,
where they can get more acres for their
money. Still, in keeping with the gen.
eral advance of modern comforts, many
of these outfits carry small tents The
tent will serve as dwelling place until
the house is built at the new home,
and If the family is large it adds to the
comfort en- route.-Philadelphi Tele-

FIG. PLAT SIDE OF HORSE SHOE.
have no hesitation in pronoucing in
favor of the flat shoe without call1s on
heel or toe, concave on the ground sur
face and flat on the surface which con-
tracts the sole. as shown at Figs. and 2.
Whatever difference of opinion there
may be about the use of this kind of
shoe in city work there is no room for
doubt as to its advantages when worn
by the farm horse. If much work on
mud roads is to be performed shoes
should also be put on the hind feet.
Here there is less objection to the use of
shoes with moderate calks, although lit
tie can be said in their favor The shoes
should be readjusted and the feet
brought to their proper proportions at
least once in every five or six weeks
The feet should be regularly cleaned out

A, Figbtv Pound UaiIstope.

In July, 1882, party of railroad sec
ton men were at work seven miles west
of Salina, Kan, when a terrific hail
storm went over, compelling them to
creep under their dummy" car for
safety. Martin Ellwood, the foreman,
relates that near where they were at
work many chunks of ice fell that would
weigh from to Is pounds, and that in
returning towards Salina they saw I'M
mense hailstones scattered about every
where. When six miles out from town
they found hundreds of them larger
than a mans head, besides one monster
chunk which they estimated weighed at
least eighty pounds.
This frigid reminder of the awful
storm was loaded on the hand car and
taken to Salina, the combined strength
of two men being required in the load
ing act Near the mammoth S0-pounder
Mr.. EllwOod discovered a hallstone in
the shape of cigar, about l foot long
and inches in diameter. Upon arriv-
ing in town q wheelbarrow was secured
and the big hailstone taken to w. j.
Hagler's store where crowds OF people

Poultry Pickinos.


Fowls that are confined need plenty of
green food.
In shipping young poultry at this time
see that they are well watered and fed
before coping, and do not crowd too
many into the coops.
Poultry associations promote the in
terests of breeders. Poultry shows pro-
mote the interests of the public.
The value of lime in the poultry yard
cannot be overestimated.
A flock of ducks turned into the po-
toto patch will often prove themselves
valuable in destroying the bugs so de-
structive to potato vines.
The American Poultry association
recognizes under ''ganes" game ban
tams, Sumatra game and Malay breeds.
Game and game bantams include black
breasted, red, brown red, golden duck
wing, silver duckwing, red pyle, white
and black varieties.
One can depend with close, careful
plucking upon an average of one pound
of feathers per bird from flock of COM
mon geese per annum.
Do not crowd the fowls, especially as
warm weather comes on. Close quarters
invite disease.
Have coops provided and yards ar
ranged in readiness for the young chicks
and their mothers.
There should always be plenty of clean
drinking water in the poultry yard.
Chopped onions fed once or twice a
week help to keep fowls healthy.

Death in the Desert.

It has just come to light that q party of Chinese. who attempted to smuggle themselves into the United States from lower California, got lost on the desert and had a terrible experience, one of the party dying of thirst and exposure. They found the frontier so closely guarded that they stole a march toward t he east ward and got into the desert. Here they got lost and wandered airnless. ly around for several days, suffering unuttera hle agonies.
 One of the Mongolians was n youth of some II years. He gave out un- der the terrible suffering and became crazy. In his rawlings he imagined tue hlistering sands were limpid wat CT and eagerly filled his parched mouth with the burning particles. This only added to his horrors. and pretty soon he lay down to die, his companions being in too pitiiul a condition to render him any assist ance. Here they heaped pile ol sand upon him and left him alone to sleep his last long slumber. while they. with swollen tongues, aching limbs and heavy hearts, continued their aimlcss wanderings--lost in q trackless desert. It Is asserted that they at last reached railroad and soon reached Los Angeles, minus everything they had attempted to bring into the country except the clothes upon their backs, They had thrown away the bundles containing the many things the Chinese hold dear, all of which mark their track upon the waste sands.
 As the almond eyed ones have n system of spreading information among themselves, it k quite likely this terrible experience will prevent my more of them attempting to in- wade the United States via the desert route. San Diego Union.
