A Methodical Tramp.

Officers Demerritt, Wood and Brown
of Montpelier received information that
four tramps were sleeping in a car near
the Central Vermont depot and they
surrounded the car at 1.30. Only one
man was found there. He was in an in
toxicated shape, and gave his name as
Edward Mcmillan of Auburn, Me. When
searched two wallets were found on his
person, one containing 81 cents and the
other Sl2. He also found razor and a
shaving brush. He had a cash account
book giving the names of the places he
visited and the amount of money he
spent in each place, together with list
of names. His last entry was Water

his name and address. He is evidently a

wcmen's Adaptability.

The adaptability of women is one
quality greatly in their favor Set
down in the midst of uncongenial sur
rOundings a woman's first impulse is
to improve them. She quietly gives
a deft touch here, straightens out n
little there, and though poverty may
be still apparent, yet order has sue
ceeded chaos, and she has impaired
to everything within her reach some
expression of home comfort. She car
ries the same instinct into business,
and, after a months apprenticeship, if
she succeeds at all is mistress of the
situation. Almost everyone can recall
instances where women, thrown I'M
eXpectedly upon their resources, have
developed business qualifications of a
very high order which they did not
know they possessed, and would not
have known but for the need of doing
something.

DRY SEASON CROPS.
Address by T. u. Terry of Ohio at Farm
ers Midsummer Meeting.

Address by T. u. Terry of Ohio at Farm
ers' Midsummer Meeting.
Hon. L. B. Terry of Ohio, who was one
OF the speakers at some of the farmers
midsummer meetings last week, dis
cussed the subject of growing crops in
dry season. He said he could grow po-
tatoes. early potatoes, and carry the
crop through the season without drop
of water. The intelligent farmer of to-
day does not have to worry at all about
water. He does not have to depend
upon either rain or irrigation. He illus
trated how the vegetable matter in the
soil holds what is planted, by the COM
parison with a sponge. When dry it
weighs almost nothing but when soaked
with water it weighs several pounds.
The vegetable matter in the soil holds
water In the same way as the sponge.
The speaker told of an experiment he
made by saturating about 10 pounds of
this vegetable matter with water and got
So pounds of water out of this bundle.
The speaker explained how crops may be
grown in dry season. BY a capillary
attraction the sun draws from the soil
the moisture which is collected there
during the spring. By storing this
water, keeping and saving it, the crops
can be carried through the season with
out drop of water from above. The
vegetable matter holds the water in the
SOIL They way to keep and utilize this
water is to cultivate, taking for granted
the soil is full of vegetable matter. If
the soil Is allowed to settle, the water is
drawn up through the minute openings
in the soil caused by the settling, by
capillary attraction. If the soil is stirred
it closes the mouth of these tiny openings
in the soil and the water working up
through the ground is obliged to stop
when it reaches nearly the surface. 1t
will of course be,seen how the moisture
feeds the roots of the plants. Potatoes,
for instance, should be planted four
inches deep leyel, and consequently the
ground must not be cultivated coarsely
or deeply. AT first the ground should be
cultivated deeply, before the growth has
started to any extent.
After a few days however, the soil
should be stirred ever so finely and
lightly but still continually. For in
stances, if a farmer cultivates today and
it rains tonight, in the morning the soil
dries and then is the time to "go at IT.
again.
The speaker endeavored to impress on
his hearers the Importance of excepting
everlastingly at it," constantly stirring
up the ground. Another thing which
he advised was pulverizng the ground
until it was as fine as dust and this he
did on his farm by the simple method
of fastening board on a slight incline
on the back of the cultivator so that IL
scraped lightly over the surface taking
out the marks of the teeth on the ma
chine and grinding the surface soil into
powder.

newspapers. and the subscription to
magazines and other periodicals has in
creased heavily.
Even the disadvantages expected from
the system do not appear. Tradesmen
had feared that the delivery of mail at
the farmers doors would operate to cut
down trade by preventing them from
coming to the central villages so often as
formerly. But they do not find their
volume of sales decreased. If the visits
are less frequent the purchases are cor
respondingly larger.
The value of land located on the routes
has increased. Stimulus has been given
to road improvement. The carriers in
their wagons have been permitted to do a
small express or errand business for the
people along the way. and this service Is
so well appreciated that the carriers are
able to piece out their small postal
salaries to very comfortable proportions.
Each tree delivery route does away with

star route, and through the saving here

they would all prove drain.
Economically, of course, the free de-
livery is great saving and averts the
waste of time and labor, which it is one
of the chief works of modern civili-
cation to eliminate. To Illustrate, sup
pose one carrier serves 100 families daily

travelling y miles a week, while If 1T
saves them only one journey week to

quent contact with fellowmen to freshen

But the daily papers and magazines
make up for this loss and perhaps in a
better way.

livery now in progress finally prove that
it can be generally made to pay its way,

of each member how he shall address
