Doyou ask, .. Where can l do this and
have my money absolutely safe :" 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 -
LIST. 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 a home institution
Every dollar is loaned in Lamoille and
adjacent counties, and every worthy ell
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 a 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 a little additional
risk, If no loss should come, but we
believe there is to-day a "long felt
want" in Vermont For a savings institG
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 in
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 tlI9
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 a 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 its business. S57, 19600, a 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 8 per cent. The
safest class of loans and securities will
command money at 6 per cent. The
Bank pays the State 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.

Longevity and Country Lie.

How great the difference is between
an urban and a rural population in the
average age of all who die may be con-
veniently Illustrated from the registra-
ton reports of Massachusetts, which
have been published for forty seven
years. In the thirty years from 1850
to 1880 the average age of all the per-
sons who died in Suffolk county, an
urban county on the seaboard, was
% 12 years; the average age of all per-
sons who died in Barnstable. a rural
county on the same seaboard, was 81;
in Franklin, an inland rural county.
80 1-2; while the average age of all the
persons who died in the island county
of Nantucket during the thirty years
was very nearly double the average
age at death in Sutfolk-namely, 4G. Is.
The same reports show that the an
nual death rate is uniformly higher in
the densely populated counties than in
the sparsely populated ones. Other
causes besides density of population
contribute to produce these striking re-
suits; but the main fact remains that a
family which lives in the country has a
better chance of continuance than one
that lives in the city. Moreover, if the
family history of the actual leaders. for
the time being, in business and the
professions in any American city, be
studied, it will usually be found that a
very large proportion of them were
country bred. The country breeding
gives a vigor and an endurance which
in the long run outweigh all city ad-
vantages, and enable the well endowed
country boys to outstrip all their com
petitors. President G. w. Eliot in

There have always been two classes of
extremists in the matter of theories of
breeding. One class has held the idea
of securing perfect lineage regardless of
any other consideration. The other has
sought perfect model with altogether
too slight a regard of the Importance of
line breeding. The fallacy of both theo-
ries has been well demonstrated in the
history of several prominent breeds of
stock, and the common sense of today,
based upon the developments of the in
dustry in the last hundred years, deter
mines that the true theory is the mean
between these two. Lineage should be
as nearly perfect as possible, and still it
cannot be safely sought at the expense
of physical qualities. These qualities,
too, cannot be perpetuated, let the excel
lences be what they may, without the
aid of pure blood as means of securing
fxity of type. In tho revival of the
breeding industry to which intelligent
stockmen everywhere are looking for
ward we believe that those who occupy
medium ground will lead in their
business. Dairyman.

There is a length of rubber sidewalk
in Edinburgh, and want to tell you it
is the finest sidewalk in the world. 1t
is only about % feet long, and the side
walk is about feet wide The rubber
is huted so as to allow the water to
run off quickly, and the surface is the
most comfortable to walk on that can
well be imagined. You can't slip if
you try, and there is a spring and a
give that is most restful TO the tired

1t was laid as an advertisement by a
shopkeeper who sells 'macintoshes"
and "goloshes, as he calls rubber coats
and rubbers, and although the expense
must have been heavy | imagine it
must have yielded good results. He
told me the rubber was two inches
thick and was laid on n four inch bed
of concrete. In four years it has shown
no appreciate signs of wear, but mis-
ehievous boys have cut it in places. -

The Best Quality of Bacon.

The best quality of bacon cannot be
made of meat that is not well drained of
its blood, says American Agriculturist.
Meat that is intended for the best quail
ity of bacon should be thoroughly bled,
and butchering, by which act the main
artery is cut, does this in the most eff
fectual and speedy way. 1t rids the
meat of the largest percentage of blood,
and leaves it in that condition that Is
best for curing and keeping well.
Herein lies defect, and serious one,
in much of the ordinary bacon and salt
pork of the day. 1t is not Invested of
its blood. In fact, it is no doubt the aim
with most packers to retain the blood
in order to have the meat weigh heavier.
This practice, opposed as it certainly is
to both Scripture and sound hygienic
rules, cannot be too severely condemned.
The old Jewish law strictly forbids the
eating of blood, and doubtless some of
the diseases and ills of mankind at the
present day might be traced to the blood
retained in the flesh when slaughteringi

Suggestions About Firewood,

Wood is invariably bought and sold
by the cord, the purchaser STIMULATING
that it shall be "body wood" that is, ex-
elusive of climb wood" The only rea-
son for this is body wood packs closer,
and there is from one-fourth to one-third
more weight in certain bulk of it. On
this account much of the limb wood is
not trimmed out, but goes into the brush
pile and is wasted, says a contributor to
The New York Tribune. Round wood
will burn longer in stove than split
wood, because flames cannot so readily
attack the grain of the timber, and con-
sequently is more valuable. Were wood
sold by weight the branches would find
as ready market as the body. l once
saw table Of weights of cord of vari-
GUS kinds Of wood. both dry and green.
If somebody would publish it they would
do good thereby. The weight of a cord
of green and a cord of dry maple or beach
would be something of a guide. There
is deceit sometimes in the way the seller
ranks up wood. Purchasing by the cord
is vague and unsatisfactory; weighing
would suit both sides.

Increase the supply of Manure.

The supply of manure may be easily
doubled by gathering up the wastes of
the barn yard and the swamps and other
coarse matters, which are increased in
value by mixture with the manure in
the yards, or by composing with lime.
Abundance of absorbent matters are re-
quired to hold the liquid manure and
prevent waste of it. The best of all alb
sorbents is dry swamp muck. 1t will
hold twice its weight of liquid, and, if
properly used, saves the almost unavoid-
able loss of the liquid manure which will
occur under the most careful manage
ment without the use of plenty of alb
sorbents. Thousands of farmers pur-
chase costly fertilizers who might by a
little foresight and labor gather as much
fertilizing matter in the fall and prepare
it for use through the winter as would
amount in value to the cost of the fertil-
izArs they buy every year.-American
