The many uses that kerosene may be
put to in the poultry yard make it an al
most indispensable article to be charged
to the expense account, and no other arti-
Gle will so enhance the profit of the
poultry yards as kerosene diligently and
intelligently used For painting the in
side of nest boxes for sitting hens there
is nothing equal to it, as it surely kills
all vermin with which it comes in con-
tact, and prevents other vermin from en-
tering the nest until it is entirely evapo-
rated, which, if the crude oil is used, will
give the hen ample time to hatch her
brood. A few drops in the drinking
water occasionally hasa good effect upon
the general health of the flock, and for
colds or roup there is nothing better if
carefully applied. ScaIy legs may be
cured by simply wettiug the legs of the
fowls affected occasioaally, and the crude
oil is best in this case also, as it takes a
much longer time to evaporate. When
the crude oil is not readily obtained

be mixed with the kerosene to stay evap-

Taeca were occasions during the
war when it required the exercise of
as great selfdenial to remain at
home as it did to enter the service.
There is no question but that many
went to the war for the money and
honor which they hoped to gain
Patriotism did not enter into the az
count at all We could not say that
Mr.. Woodbury. entered the service
from any other than the best of mo-
tives. We believe him to have been
patriotic We do not believe that he
or his friends have any right to
charge upon Mr. Page want Of cour-
age or patriotism because his circum-
stances were such that it did not

Others We're pressing into the ranks.
Many Il young man did as much for
his country at home as he would
have done in the field, and it may be
more. War scenes and memories are
too remote to bring up and use in
the effort to excite prejudices for or
against individuals who may have
borne a part in the events of the
period. 1t is well known that Mr..
Page was the staff upon which his
father leaned in carrying on an eX-
tensive business business that
reached over Northern Vermont and
into Canada, that Mr.. Page spent all
told only a few weeks in Canada, and
this not to evade any duty of a citi-
zen but in accordance with the re-
quirements of business. 1t is certain
that no one would have thought of
bringing this forward We're it not to
make political capital. Their friends
and neighbOrs saw nothing reprehen-
sible in his conduct at the time.
They freely gave him such honors as
were within their power to give.
Why not drop this whole Islander and

The next Governor of Vermont will
be an able man if any one of the per-
sons mentioned by the State press is
elected, but We hope to see Hon. Car
roll 5. Page fill the office He is a
capable man and his integrity is
above reproach. From n small be-
ginning he has built up a very large
business. Men who have risen step
by step through honest motives and
business qualifications should be the
ones to hold responsible offices. Mr..
Page, it seems to US, should be the
next Governor of the State whose
fame for noble men is known the
world over, and if he does fill the
office the result will be satisfactory.

Robert W. FWness lof Nebraska, who
has had long experience, advises as fol-
lows in regard to transplanting the larger
forest trees for ornamental purposes:
''All above one inch in diameter, to in
sure success, should be cut back to six
eight, ten or twelve feet, as taste may
dictate. l prefer six and eight feet.
Prune off every limb, leaving the tree,
when planted, mere bare stem or stake
Where cut off at top, and where limbs
are cut away, they should be painted
over with thick common paint or, bet
ter, thick solution Of gum shellac and
alcohol. The theory is that the first duty
a transplanted tree has to perform is to
get hold of and identify itself again with
the soil. Everything retarding this work
should be avoided. Where limbs are left
leaves put out soon. ard the growth work
goes on in that direction, thus retarding
work under ground"

Do you ask, 'Where can 1 do this and
have my money absolutely safer" Let
us give you some facts. The LamoIlle
County Savings Bank and Trnst Co, or
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 LIS
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 ether investments, so far as it can DO
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 incurrng a little addition
a! risk, if 10 loss should come, but we
believe there is to-day a ''long-felt
want" in Vermont for a savings institu-
ton which will loan it's 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 in
Alabama. 1t is needed for the greater
safety of the savings Of widows and
orphans as well as of all those who look
rather to the absolute security of the
principal than to high rates of interest.
With no disparagenent to our neigh
bors who prefer to occupy western
fields we offer to the depositing public
the Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Co. as an institution organized to
meet the demand for a strictly home tn
vestment Savings Bank. That such a
demand exists, and that the people are
ready TO bestOw their confidence and
encouragement upon such an institu-
ton, is evidenced by the fact that the
gregate of the small deposits alone in
this Bank-not counting any in excess
of S1000-were at the end of the first six
months of its business, $57 1900, a
record without parallel, we believe, in
the history of Vermont Savings Banks.
4th. Under no circumstances does
this Bank take over per cent. 1t would
not, knowingly, make an investment
which would pay over per cent. The
safest class of loans and securities will
command money at s per cent. The
Bank pays the State a tax of six tenths
of per cent. on deposits in lieu Of all
taxes to tie depOsitor. 1t must then
be evident that 4 per cent. per annum is
all that the Bank can SAFELY PAY. This
rate it will pay. 1t is guaranteed and
IT sts on no contingency. Interest will
be compounded semi annually if not
withdrawn.

Field notes made during 1899, also 1888,
by the farm superintendent at the New
York station, testify to the stockiness
and general thrift of corn plants where
nitrogen as nitrate, or sulphate, had been
applied, The amounts applied in most
cases produced an increase in the ratio
of stalks to cora, but had an equal, if
not greater, Ell on the yield of sound
corn. Neither potash nor phosphoric
acid exerted marked influence on the
crop. The application of plaster was
not followed by any increase of crop
above the general average. Nitrogen
alone increased the crop. Nitrogen with
either potash or phosphoric acid in
creased the crop. Nitrogen with both
potash and phosphoric acid increased
the crop.

from Rio de Janeiro stating that the pro-

stitution which will be promulgated to-
morrow, and that great rejoicing pre-
walls throughout Brazil
The new constitution will be the fun
damental law of the land only after the
constitutional assembly shall have ap-
proved it. Immediately after the decree
ing of the constitution there shall be an
election for senators and deputies
sixty-three of the former and 200
OF the latter. Immediately after
that at their first regular
session, and after the election Of presid
ing. officers, the provisional government
will place in their hands the functions
OF government exercised by the latter
since the inauguration of the republic.
The assembly will at once select new
chief OF state, who will then pro-
ceed to organize regular cabinet. Then
the assembly will revise the constitution
and afterward promulgate it as revised.
Following are the principal ideas of the
constitution:
Brazil adopts the American system of
responsible executive, with secretaries
responsible only to themselves and to
the people. A senator or deputy who is
chosen & secretary loses his
seat. The first election of president
will be in November next by congress,
but the constitution establishes that
this election shall subsequently be by
means ofelections. The president shall
be elected for six years term and be in
eligible for the next ten years succeed
ing, Secretaries of state are ineligible
for the presidency during their terms of
office. The president of the senate shall
be vice-president of the republic. In
case OF absence or death the presidential
office shall be filled by the vice-presi-
dent, next by the speaker of the house,
next by the vice-president of the senate,
and lastly by the president of the su-

spite the hard work of large corps Of
men, the flames worked their way com
pletely around the buildings Of the post.
The fires ragged more iercely than ever
today, destroying trees and underbrush,
and placing the post chapel and other
buildings on the south side of the settle
ment in great danger. Almost the en-
tire garrison was called out to fight the
flames, which arose to great height,
and the little white chapel narrowly
escaped destruction. At one time the
smoke was so dense that it looked from
