Do YOU ask, 's5Where can 1 do this and
have my money absolutely safe I" Let
us give YOU some facts. The Lamollle
County Savings Bank and Trust Co. OF
Hyde Park is an institution run on the
following principles -
lst. 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 1t 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 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
| nd Sin
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 deposting 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 in this bank
not counting any in excess of $1,000
were at the end of the first six months
of it's business, $57, 1860, record
without parallel, we believe, in the
history of Vermont Savings Banks.
4th. Under no circumstances does
this Bank take over 6per 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 per cent. The
Bank pays the State tax of sixteenth:
of per cent. on deposits in lieu of al
taxes to the depositors. 1t must then b.
evident that per cent. per annum is al
that the Bank can SAFELY PAY. Thu
: rate it will pay. 1t is guaranteed ant
rests on no contingency. Interest will
be compounded semi-annually if no
withdrawn.

Color in Horses.

The experience of the Paris, also New
York horse car companies, as reported
in The Western Live Stock Journal, is
that gray horses are the longest lived
and give the greatest amount of service.
Roam horses are about equally good.
Cream colored horses lack staying power,
especially in summer. Bays show an
average. Black hoofed horses are stronger
and tougher.
There are several advantages in the
keeping of large breeds of fowls. One is
that they are more easily confined, and
another is where yoa sell on the market
they will bring more on account of their
extra weight.
Examine the little chickens for lice.
Dust pyrethrum over the hens.
Some consumers claim that eggs pro
duced early in the season have a better
flavor than those which hens lay after
they run at large and live mainly on
grass and insects.
The secret of success in the poultry
yard is not in Matching but in feeding.
The cost of keeping ducks where the
facilities are good is merely nominal, az
a large portion of their daily fare is OF
the coarsest and cheapest kinds.
A friend in Catskill, N. Y, asks the
following question: what is the best
and cheapest fattening food for young
chickens after they have got to weigh
about one pound?'' The chickens need q
variety of foods in which corn meal OF
cracked corn predominates. We should
prefer the cracked corn, and should
also feed a. little wheat with plenty Of
grass or weeds.
Use earth for an absorbent in YOU
poultry house, but be sure and clean out
and renew it before it becomes foul.

Mending Harness Traces.

Harness traces are liable to wear out
at the ends, where they pass through the
metal hooks, while they are still sound
in other parts. Any farmer can mend
them more economically than by taking
the work to a harness maker. Rip the
trace apart for six inches back from the
broken end, having first cut the end off
to sound leather. Then the straps are
shaved down to an edge at the ends, be-
ginning an inch from the ends.
New straps fourteen inches long
and as wide as the traces, having
their ends similarly shaved down, are
passed through the hooks and spliced
with the ends of the brace. They are
not put in together, but to alternate.
The splice is then fastened together with
copper rivets, row along each edge and
one down the middle, not opposite one
another, but thus:

THE COSTLIEST PICTURE.
How Meissonier Came to Make the '1S14''
That Sold for $50, 900 Francs.

How NIeissonier Came to Make the "1s14"
That Sold for $4,000 Francs.
Meissonier's "1S14" was painted
twenty-eight years ago. At about that
time Delahaute, a French financier
with passion for the fine arts, called
at Meissonier's studio. The painter was
busy with very little picture.
"What is this picture to REPRESENT"
asked Delahaute.
"a military subject, which I have
entitled 1S14,'" was Meissonier's re-
Spouse.
''Your subject is very big, but your
canvas is very small, NJ. MISSIONER.
Why don't you paint q large picture?"
81 have sketched in the picture thus
small" explained the artist, for two
reasons: first, because it is after my
own style of painting; and second, I
must confess it openly, because 1 am
in need of money. work very slow
ly, and therefore can complete a small
picture much sooner than large one."
"You need money? Paint my picture
then. What will it costp"
''Twenty-five thousand francs"
''Hu1nph! that is a good deal of
money" Delahaute drew purse from
his pocket, however, and counted out
25, 900 francs on the artists table. 81
wish also to have your picture, 1914, ."
he continued, "but on the express con-
dition that you paint it on large can
vas" Some time afterward Meissonier
finished Delahaute's portrait When
the financier called to look it over,
MISSIONER showed him the first sketch
of the picture 1874" asking, is that
big enough for your
Exactly, and what shall you charge
mew
Seventy thousand francs"
The picture was finished and paid
for, and was first exhibited in the sum-
mer of 1864. 1t was recognized at once
as a great work. A little later came
the great Franco-Prussian war, then
the Commune The picture, it was
planned, should be sold in England for
300. 900 francs, but the negotiations
came to naught. Some time afterward
one of the Vanderbilts offered 400, 600
francs for it. Delahaute consulted with
MISSIONER, who advised him: Don't
let the picture go for so little money.
| 1t is worth much more"
Delahaute listened to this advice and
promised the artist so, 900 francs should
the picture be sold for more than the
amount of Vanderbilt's offer. Since
1864 Delahaute had paid annually 500
insurance on the picture. Last yea1
when it was exhibited in the Palais dies
Beaux Arts the insurance premium was
as high as $500 or somewhat more.
Such was the condition of affairs when
a short time ago M. Bague, a famous
connoisseur of paintings, came with the
offer of 500, 900 francs. Delahaute
could not resist, and agreed to sell the
picture. Then the question was, "Fol
whom did Bague buy it" The mex
morning every one knew the answer
Bague's principal in the purchase wa.
NJ. Chauchard, former director of the
great magazine in the Louvre. He. haC
offered his representative $50, 900 francs
for Meissonier's masterpiece. Conse
quently in twenty-four hours M. Bague
by mere turn of the hand, had made
$50, 900 francs in cash. Millet's 'An

Cream from Many Pans.

Always handle the butter with wooden

nearer the butter than the handles Of
your paddles.
Make your butter attractive when you
send it to market. Spend dollar for

hard times, for you will get it back again
if you sell in open market on account of
the clean and attractive appearance it
gives the butter; and if you have private
customers you will certainly get it back,

The rivets hold better than sewing, as
we have seen abundantly demonstrated.
Oil the straps before they are spliced to-
gether. A rip in the trace may be
checked by putting in a copper rivet at
each end of the rip. Smaller rivets are

likes and Dislikes of Bees.

There is no doubt but that the exhala-
lions from some persons are offensive to
bees and cause of attack by them,
when other persons might come equally
near their hives without exciting their
luminosity in the least. For such per-
sons to undertake to keep bees would be
not only unpleasant but Improbable.
Their numbers, however, are not great,
and quite as often the attacks of bees
are caused by the fear many persons
have of them, and by their striking at
the bees and lodging them, when if
they quietly came about the hives with
out making any quick or hostile mo-
tons they would be unmolested. 1t is
said that nervous people and such as
are addicted to the use of tobacco and
liquor never make successful bee keep
ers. To some persons the venom of the
bee is a serious poison. Such persons, of
course, had better not keep bees. Gen
orally speaking, frequent stings are the
result of the nervous condition of the in
dividual Such one by learning to con-
troll the nerves may become a successful
bee keeper.

Seven Years Experience with Ensilage-
Seven years. experience with ensilage
at the Michigan Agricultural college
leads to the following conclusions: The
silo should be built of lumber and
located as near the feeding place
rs possible, and on the same level.
A silo % feet deep, 10 feet wide,
IA feet long will be sufficient for
the six months feeding of ten COWS
weighing 1000 pounds each, which will
consume 600 pounds of ensilage daily
For the silo the corn should not be har-
vested until well matured. A great
deal of the feeding value has been lost
in the past by cutting while too green
and succulent. Silage corn should never
be fed alone to obtain the best results,
nor in too large proportion when COM
bined with other fodder. Silage and
clover hay combined make a most ex-
cellent mixture for coarse fodder. These,
with bran, shorts, corn meal, etc., in
proper proportions make the most eco
nomical food for young cattle and for
making milk and beef.
