Feeding Stuffs Inspection.

The farmers Of Vermont pay some
thing over $3,OO0,OO0 year for grain
feeds for their live stock. Over 80 per
cent of this sum is paid for corn. oats,
and the wheat offals, which are of a
fairly uniform composition. Several
hundreds of thousands are spent, how
ever, for the by-products of sundry
manufacturing processes, such as cotton
seed and lnseed meal, gluten and oat
feeds, ETC., which are more or less vari-
able in composition, and open TO adul-
tcration. These materials sometimes
bear misleading names, and their selling
prices often have no relation to their
value as feeds.
These conditions. among others, have
led to the passage in practically all of
the northeastern states of law known
as the Feeding Stuffs Inspection law.
Such law was passed at the last seseion
of the Legislature in Vermont. 1t places
the sampling and analysis of these feeds
in the hands of the experiment station,
which publishes the results of its inspec-
ton work from time to time. The law
requires the wholesaler to state upon
each package his name and address, the
brand, weight, and percentages of pro-
ten and fat that the goods are guaranteed
to contain. A tax of ten cents ton is
laid by the law upon all cottonseed,
linseed, and gluten meals and feeds,
corn and Cat chops, and feeds and prov
enders other than pure grains ground
together.
The law took effect the lst of July
last. 1t is as yet too young to have
proved its worth. rhe condition of the
trade in the northeastern portion OF this
country was such, however. that this
class enactment is bound to result, as it
has already done in several states, to the
advantage of the farmer. who is made
more certain of the quality of the goods
he buys. 1t is fair to presume that as
time goes on the same desirable outcome
which followed the regulation of the
fertilizer trade by law will result from
the operations of the fet ding stuffs act.
All bags of the materials described
above should now bear green tag
certifying to the payment of the inspec-
tion tax, and the sale of any and all
goods of this class not carrying this tag
is illegal.

the most disastrous results, tool; place at

thought missed fire, and Melvin Glenn

churn out the tamping, when the blast
suddenly exploded in their faces, and
they were thrown to the ground. Badger

finger broken and his hand cut, but Mr..

Debilitated Energies DO Not Require the

A professor in one of the many med
ical colleges of this city holds that
there is no need OF buying and swal-
lowing advertised tonics, because they
accomplish no more than judiciously
selected diet will. The professor says
that spinach is richer in iron, which is
the basis of most tonics. than even the
yolk of an egg, while the latter con-
tains more than beef. The ordinary
dish of spinach and poached egg IS
tonic as potent as one in which iron
forms a part, without the harmful ef-
feet Of other ingredients that enter into
the medical compound. Plants I'M

ROMANCE OF THE SKIPPER.
He Tells Why 1t Was He Called HIS
Boat Winifred.


Captain George Pruden of the oyster
sloop Winifred sat in his bat at the
Lewis Shorehouse dock at Bridgeport,
Conn.,, the other day in reminiscent
mood. Eyes, it's pretty name for
pretty boat" he said, "and 1t will 40
me good to tell my story to a friend.
The name is that of woman who
changed my entire life for me. once
had a splendid home in the White
mountains, but I would not change
back to the old life again. l had
money then, you see, and had this
little boat built up at New London
and kept her there so that could come
down in the summer and spend a
month or SO on the water. Winifred

the name came to be painted on the
little craft there. 1t was painted on
there when we were sweethearts. She
used to 20 to Ne@ London also to
spend part of the summer, and this
little boat was named after her, and
she used to sit in the stern there at the
tiller, every inch sailor, l tell you.
We were going to be married when we
returned to our mountain homes that
last year about the first of the new
year. A month before the marriage
day she went away to visit an aunt, so
she told me, and l never saw her after
ward. While we were at New Lon
don that summer she met young fell
low who was on yacht. He courted
her and she encouraged him. I trust
ed her, and she proved false. My home
up the mountains was not home after
that, and l sold out all Of my things
and came down to New London and
looked after this little boat. live on
the water now and earn my living with
the other men Of the sea. Here is her
picture. You may have it. The boat
Is the only remembrance of her care
to have"
