A WORD TO Potato GROWERS
Valuable Suggestions in Relation TO
the Prevention of Right.

STATE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT |
STA, BURLINGTON Vt, Aug 1st, 1892. {
Dear Sir:-I wish through the columns
of your paper to address few words to
those of your readers who are potato
growers. No true blight has been seen
as yet, but judging from experience of
past years, may be expected at any time
now. In 1899 potatoes blighted badly
the last week of July. In 1890 and again
in 1891 the weather did not favor the
rapid spread of the disease until the
middle of August and later. 1t is simply
question of favOrably moist in hot
weather as to when the disease appears
this year. Spraying the vines with Bor-
deauX mixture will surely keep off the
disease if done thoroughly and in season.
We found last summer that a thorough
application made at the time of the first
appearance of the disease checked its
further development. But upon ground
especially liable to the disease the safer
way by far is to spray at once, nO,c, even
though no signs of the disease are
seen.
The mixture for this first application
can be made rather weak, ) p. blue vitrol
and 7. of freshly Stacked lime to 80
gallons Zone barreD, of water Dissolve

barrel, keeping out al / dirt. Slack
the lime in another vessel, then, after
adding water enough to make thin
whitewash, strain this into the vitriol
solution, so as not TO add dny humps of
lime: stir thoroughly and it is ready to
use. Add Paris Green for the bugs if
needed.
This application will protect the vines
for ten days or two weeks of ordinary
weather, and would not advise a second
application until some signs of the dis
ease are seen. If, however, the blight
begins to show in the middle of August
or later, do not delay but make a second
application at once using the same
strength mixture freely or if the disease
is spreading badly use II p of blue
vitriol and 2 lime to a barrel of water.
A third application of the weaker form
of the mixture may be needed on late
potatoes in September depending, of
course upon the conditions of the plants
and the prevalence of the disease.
For further information send to the
Experiment Station for Bulletins con-
cerning Potato Blight and Rot. All
Bulletins are free and all letters of
inquiry will be welcomed and will eceive
immediate answer.
If there is any uncertainty as to
whether or not your vines are blighting
send specimens of diseased leaves or
plants for examination.

A CHANCE FOR FREE TRADE EDI
TORS

There is not Democratic editor in
the land, from Cape Cod to San Francis
co, from Lake Itasca to Key West, who
is not to-day buying the very paper on
which he prints his Mckinley prices
falseboods for less money than he paid
before the Mckinley bill was passed.
We know of our own personal knowI-
edge that it is true of the New York free
trade dailies-one of them is saving $780,
600 a year in the fall of the price of its
paper below the price actually paid for
1T before the new tariff was enacted.
The American Protective Tariff League
will pay 81 200 to the Democratic editor
who will show that paper of the quality
and kind used by him to publish his Nc
Kinley prices falsehood cannot be pur-
chased in the open market from 5 to 40
per cent. cheaper than it cost under the
old tariff.-American Economist, July

The Burlington Free Press says: ''The
Republicans of Bennington county have
nominated Hon. Franklin II. Orvis, pro-
prietor of the famous Equinox House.
Manchester, Vt, for State Senator. Mr.,
Orvis is staunch Republican and pro-
tectionist and takes much interest in
public affairs. He is also veteran legis-
lator, having represented Bennington
county in the State Senate % years ago.
Since then, till now, he has uniformly
declined public Office. He is q thor
oughly genial companion, as we'll as an
intelligent and public spirited citizen
and he will be universal favorite in the
next Senate, as he was in that of 1862"

The Democratic House at Washington
has made sorry spectacle of itself this
week. With anarchy in this high place
what can be expected lower down in the
scale. To oppose the Worlds Fair ap-
preparation under the circumstances is
disgrace to the American system of
popular government. 1t is gross hu-
initiation, deliberately inflicted by
Democratic politicians upon the United
States before the eyes of the whole
world.

The young Republicans of Bennington
who are talking of giving complimentary
votes to Democratic nominees are re-
minded that their opponents never do
any such thing. And that this a poor
year to run down Republican majorities
by complimentary votes however popular
the nominee. By the way, Col. Abbott
two years ago was quite as well liked as
anybody, and how many complimentary
vetes did our Democratic friends give
him?

IT WAS A FAXED STORY.
The Alleged Suicide of n New York Wo-
 man in Monte Carlo n Canard.

The Alleged Suicide of a New York wO-
 man in Monte Carlo a Canard.
 LONDON, Sep. 17.-On Sept. IS the ''Neue Freie Presse" of Vienna published a story to the effect that Miss Jane Arm strong of New York had killed herself with a revolver after losing in ten days $250, 900 at the Monte Carlo Casino. Sub sequently the paper published elaborat @ details of the affair, which were tele- graphed in every direction.
 The Monte Carlo correspondent of the Telegraph" of this city, was instructed to look into the matter. He did so with the result that to-day he telegraphs that the story is a canard. Nobody by the name of Jane Armstrong has visited Monte Carlo this season.
 It has often been asserted that the au- thorities at Monte Carlo seek in every way to hide all evidences of suicide in the principality, and it may be true that they do so, but the Photographs" cores pondent, who searched in every direction to prove or disprove the Armstrong story, found beyond doubt that no woman has committed suicide at Monte Carlo recently

proven to be about twenty by fifteen feet in size with ten-foot ceiling quite large enough to accommodate dozen people. The place was quite bare excepting the presence of a rude bed of dried grass covered with bits and shreds of an old sail, a bench made of pieces of 3 plank, two stools fashioned in the same style, a rickety table from the wreck, possibly from the ships cabin. Tn the way of utensils, there were a few plates, a few iron dishes, three forks, two spoons, knife and three metal drinking cups all eaten by rust.
 'Poor wretchesI" murmured Zach French, "what destitution they must have suffered during their stay on this island"

A BULLETIN HIS TEMPLE.

Another Mystery Added to the List of
 South Jersey Murders.
 MAY's LANDING, N. J., Sep. 1.-The inquest on the body of the man who was found dead in the woods about a mile be- low this place, held by Coroner Fair, failed to reach anything that would lea to the mans identity or throw light on his death.
 County physician James made an ex animation and found that death was caused by a bullet shot through the left temple, which went though the head and came out on the right side. Two bullet holes were also found in the right breast.
 An inspection of the mans clothing failed to find anything that would es- tablish his identity. All that was found was the name written on his shirt in i'm delible ink, 70. Richardson" No money or valuables, except eight pennies, were found. The theory that he had been robbed and murdered has gained ground.
 The inquest was adjourned until Mon day; and rigid investigation will be made.

COMMISSIONER PICKS ARREST.
He is Charged With Burning Returns on
 Which Ills Report Was Based.

Which Ills Report Was Based.
 ALBANY, N. Y., Sep. 17.-Just what will be the outcome of the difficulties in which Labor Commissioner Peck is in- volved, it is hard to say.
 At the hearing before Justice Gutmau, at which warrants were issued for Com missioner Peck and his stenographer, FL bert Rogers, it came out, so it is said, that the janitor of the apartment house in Albany, where Commissioner Peck lives, had spent several hours last Sunday night burning in furnace quantities of paperS given to him by the Commissioner to be destroyed. For this service the jam itor received $2.
 District-Attorney Eaton and ex-Senator Chase, who have charged of the prosecu- tion against MT. Peck, claim to have se- cured some charred fragments of these papers which show clearly, they allege, that they were portions of the blank re- turns filled in by the manufacturers who furnished Commissioner Peck data for his report. How the matter leaked out no one pretends to say, although a serv- ant in the apartment house is charged with having told about the destruction of the documents.
 The offense with which the Commis- sioner stands charged is misdemeanor, punishable by five years' imprisonment t, or by fine of $1 ,000, or both.
