The Open Season on Deer.

The hunting season for deer, in Yer
mont, which this year is very short, will
open Oct. % and continue only the rest of
the month. This short open season is due
to the fact that an amendment was made
to the law granting the month of October
for deer hunting, cutting the time down to
the last 10 days of the month. The short
ening of the open season was due to the
great slaughter of the game and the fear
that if continued for another season 1t
would result either in the determination
of the deer or in driving them out of the
state. During the first open season a
large number of sportsmen from cities and
states outside of Vermont came in and
took part in the shooting. The hotels
have already received inquiries in regard
to rooms the length of the season, etc.,
and probably good many huntsmen from
nearby states will come to Vermont dur
ing the open season.

A COntented Woman.

The appearance in Brattleboro for the
second time of Hoyt's farce, "a Contented
Woman" this time with Miss Belle Archer
in the title role, drew a good sized audi
ence to the Auditorium Tuesday evening.
The play-similar to all of Hoyt's produc-
tions, is a clever satire, politics in general
and woman suffrage in particular being
the subjects made ridiculous by the pen of
the author. Although the plot is in no
way elaborate the action throughout the
piece is brisk, and the dull places, if there
are any, are made lively by the introduce
ton of unusually good singing and dane
ing specialties.
The cast which presented the farce Tues
day evening was strong throughout, each
member being well adapted to his part.
Miss Belle Archer as Grace Holme was ex-
ceedingly pretty, an important factor in that
role, and acted acceptably. Miss Henrietta
Lee appeared to advantage as the notori-
GUS Mrs. Ebbsmith, and rivalled Miss
Archer in good looks. Augusta de Forest
and Arthur Gregory as Aunt Jim and
Uncle Tody created large proportion of
the fun of the evening. Others who added
to the mirth were Charles p. Morrison as
Cutting Hintz, Edward Craven as Phil
Boyles, and John L. Kearney as Vandyke
Beard.

MAGNIFICENT PRODUCTION.

A Cuban war play founded upon our
late war with Spain should be an attrac
ton above all others to win the hearts
of our citizens. The "Prisoner Of Spain"
is said to contain some we'll known
actors.
The uufailing success OF this play is
in part owing to the splendid and pic
turesque scenery with which the piece
is dressed.
The comedy is first class and the dra-
matte element is singularly fascinating,
possessing as it does, a stirring and TO-
mantle martial spirit, tempered with
the qualities OF a refined and high class
drama. The play is in every way de-
serving OF the remarkable success which
has attended it. To be at the Opera
house Wednesday, March 22nd.

The great meeting held last night at
the Tabernacle, on north 9Th street
ought to be sufficient warning to the
saloon element that it has gone too far.
Every seat in the Tabernacle, proba-
blythe largest church auditorium, was
filled with an anxious crowd OF people de
sirous of participating in the work OF
the league. Besides the chairs of the
church all the spare chairs belonging to
the Presbyterian church were brought
into use to seat the congregation. A
very pertinent fact regarding the audi
ence present was that it was largely
made up Of what might be termed non
church going people. This demonstrat-
cd the fact that the people are alive to
the danger Of having the city fall into
hands OF the saloon men.
A great big choir had been secured for
.tha aacaaion and Prof. Boyer assisted
on tho cofnet.
The meeting was opened by the pas
tor, Rev. Boggess. Prayer was offered
by P. A. Rice.
Wallace Eggleston delivered an ad-
dress on behalf of the Young Peoples
Temperance league. His remarks were
we'll pointed and were received with
manifest eigns of approval by the audi
ence.

tinctly and plainly and does not mince
words regarding the subject upon which
she ls speaking.
Horace T. belong spoke Oh behalf OF
the Citizsns League. 1t would have
done all the professional politicians good
to have been present and heard Mr.. De-
Longs remarks. He is considered one
OF the most forceful speakers in the city,
and he strikes right home when he does
strike.
He spoke principally as TO what con-
stitutes good citizenship. He raked the
church going people over the Goals for
allowing the ward heeler to do the work
and defeat the bsst interest Of the peo-
Pile every time and then afterward COM
plain.
He urged that they come right to the
polls and work the day of election, for
the League tielsss and clso not to wait
till the day Of election, but to do some
missionary work for the cause right
along until the day arrives. Do not let
any one put you off with the assurance
that everything is all right. 1t will be
all right il you make it all right.
II last nights meeting is any indica-
ton of the way the political wind is
blowing, the Citizens League ticket will
win by great big majority.
1t was urged upon all to be just as
much politician for the time being as
Mr., Allison and from the way the work
took last night, the saloon crowd will
have to fight people who will adopt their
own tactics in this campaign.

ABOUT THE WEATHER.

From Observer Stewart
An area of high pressure attended by
temperature below zero overlies eastern
Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota and
the northern parts Of South Dakota,
Wisconsin, and Michigan.
The lowest temperature reported this
morning is 10 below zero at Bismarck.
West of the mountsins moderate tenn
peratures prevail.
A low pressure area OF marked inten-
sity appears this morning over British
Columbia and northeastern Washington.
Under its influence rain has fallen in all
states bordering on the Pacific and in
Idaho and Nevada, and snow in Mon
tana and North Dakota.
1t is probable that the southeastward
advance of this low area will bring
cloudy and threatening weather with
probably rain or snow and colder in this
locality Tuesday afternoon or night.

made square, and it takes but little
time to put on the tents or take them
off. Leave one side of the tent open
from the top to the bottom, tying with
string or any other way you wish, to
fasten together. At the bottom of the
tent put little earth to hold it down
and it keeps out the cold.
From the, one hundred yards of cot
ton I made five tents. The largest
tree was fourteen feet high and took
thirty-three yards. This is the one
you mentioned as having from five to
six boxes of oranges on it. l can not
oranges were small when 1 left Flor
ida.
I placed under this tent an oil stove
with one wick, and while the Their
mometer was at - outside, inside it
was up to IS. In the rest of the tents
I put common house lamps with B
burners on them, and with the Their
mometer outside at II degrees, inside
it stood at 30, 80 and 38.
The cost of the five tents with lum-
Der and cotton would not be over $1.30
per tree for the material; and with a
sewing machine one could make quite
number of tents per day. If you
wish to enlarge the tents you can do
so by adding one more cloth each year
and splice the posts to make them
higher. 1 believe that by using arti-

September.

September occupies the same posi-
ton on the Florida Farmers Calen-
dar that March does as far as farming
operations are concerned only that Sep
TENDER is the fall season and the prep
arations are for winter crops not sum-
mer ones.
This is the great haying month, and
every farmer ought to save as much
of it as possible This is easily done
if the proper measures are taken in
time, and the farmer who has his
fields full of crab grass and don't cut
it and cure it into hay is committing
crime both against himself and family
and against the community in winch
he lives. This is a very busy month
in the garden, as the whole range OF
vegetables can be planted with rea-
sonable assurance Of getting crops be-
fore frost. In planting beans the mo
hawk is recommended, as it is very
early and will stand a good snap OF
frost. English peas should be planted
as soon as possible; Early Alaska IS
very good, followed by American
Wonder" Beets, radishes, carrots,
lettuce, parsley, endive, spinach, Kohl
rabi, turnips, ruta bagas, kale, celery,
mustard. satisfy, parsnips, early cauli-
flower and early cabbage, can all be
planted before the middle OF this
month.
Cabbage seed sown in August Will
REQUIRE a good deal of attention SO as

Effective Fruit PrOtect1on-The Fruit
in Evidence.
At your request l will write the ex-
perience 1 had the past winter in try
ing to save a few orange trees around
my house; and as the experiment
proved a success, perhaps others may
wish to try the same If had taken
the same method with my grove 1
should have had fruit this year In
stead of being obliged to start from
the bud
My method was this: I bought one
hundred yards of Atlantic III. cotton,
paying 5 cents per yard in New Ha-
ven. Out of that I made five tents,
hauling the limbs of the trees in by
heavy Irvine as compact as could. l
made four posts for each tree out of
2X2 scantling, drove them into the
ground one foot, leaving them high
enough to reach the top OF the trees.
On top of the posts 1 put four pieces
of boards two inches wide, from post
to post; length according to size of
three, and then fastened it all around.
then made the tent to fit the post,
so it would go on the outside easily,
numbered the tents and the trees to
match the tents and then no mistakes
are made. Have the tops of the tents

to keep it growing right along. The
least check to the growth of the young
plants is more fatal at this time than
any other time Of the year; If they
look puny and thriftless, a weak So
luton of nitrate of soda sprinkled on
the bed every alternate evening for
week will help them wonderfully, Ca
handful of the soda to gallons of wa
ter will be ample.) Towards the end
of the month onion seed can be sown,
in Louisiana the Creole onion is the
favOrite, but l have had very good
success with "Giant White Tripoli,"
it is a better onion than the Creole,
grows larger and is better favored.
Early next month the genuine Ber-
ket, and all onion growers should
plant it extensively as it is really best
of all onions for Florida. The ground
for it should be prepared this month
so as to be ready to sow the seed
Immediately on arrival my preference
is for the white of this variety
Transplanting cabbage, celery, cauli-
flower and collard plants should be in
progress from the middle of the month
on, in fact the man who wants to keep
up with the season in gardening oper-
atiOns will have his hands full this
month.
In the field preparations should be
in progress for winter farm crops. Hay
stubble should be plowed for the oat
and rye crops. Toward the end of
the month some oats may be sown and
the main crop next month. Rye can
be also put in on a small scale, but
this is the proper time to SOW rape
now as rape is a crop very little known
in the South, let me strongly urge
upon all farmers with young stock or
sheep, to plant a few acres of it. 1t
will make excellent fall and winter
pasture and will be ready for grazing
in 40 to SO days after sowing the seed.
The cane crop will require little at
tentiOn from now on to grinding time.
1t should be gone over every two or
three weeks and the joints stripped
of the dead leaves so as to let sun
shine and air to it. This is a means
of sweetening and helps the ripening
and strengthens the eyes where it is
intended for seed. In fact the progress
sive farmer will keep himself ahead Of
the season all the time as far as pos
sible and that is really the easiest and
surest way to success.-C X. Nc

fore it candied and not a trace of
honey could be detected on the glass
and the jars were kept bottom side up
on purpose to test the matter. These
jars and covers are at present made
very cheaply and sometimes the cover,
or rather the underside of it, does not
fit down close enough to the glass to
enable the ring to seal it tight all
around, in such cases of course the
defect in the cover has to be RENE

any are not true l have a device made
to bring them in shape. l then test
them by putting some water in jar,
then put on a ring and the cover, and
if no water will leak or can be shaken
out they are all right for honey. l
have said this was done before the
rings were dipped for the reason that
after they are dipped in the wax and
the cover has been screwed down tight
on them and then taken off, l found
in a few instances a trace of honey
would escape if the same rings were
used without being dipped again. The
wax should be boiling hot when the
rings ale put in and they should be
cooked in it. Paraffine might answer
as we'll as wax but it takes such a
small amount of wax that the differ
ence in price would hardly amount to
anything unless a very large amount
of honey was to be put up. l think
there is no doubt but what some kinds
of fruits and vegetables contain acids
that also act on rubber so that it does
not keep the contents of the jar air
tight, and | believe it would pay those
who seal fruit by means of rubber

matter, though, is of but very little
interest to me for | have not one OF

Putting Up Extracted Honey in
Glass Packages.

ureS, so | am going to mention now
l lost about $40 besides much time
and work. Still the matter could hard
ly be called a failure, for most SIN
gular success was attained. but not
just in the manner expected or de-
sired. When commencing to put eX-
tracted honey on the market the best
style or kind of package was with me
a matter of much perpleXity and after
trying many and various kinds OF
packages | finally decided that the
Mason glass jars, in their various sizes
were, all things considered, about the
most satisfactory packages that could
be obtained here for the retail gro
accidents, lasts an indefinite length OF
time, and as the caps or covers are
made of zinc they do not rust and II
they become discOlOred or Old-lOOking
there are number of preparations
by which they can be very quickly
and easily cleaned so that they look
as bright as when new. On this ac-
count these jars, after being emptied,
represent or are worth, about as much
money as when neW-sOmething that
can hardly be said in favor of any
other retail package with which L am
acquainted and usually even the most
thrifty OF housewives will hardly Oh
iect to the cost of the jars, owing to
the almost universal use that is made
of them by all classes for canning
fruit. But | found one great ObJec-
ton to their use and this was that
soon after they were filled the honey
would OoZe or run out enough around
the rubber ring to keep the jar sticky.
At first l thought the rubber rings L
had must be defective or OF poor quail
ty but | found out as undoubtedly
every one else has who has used this
style of package, that with no KIND OF
rubber rings can honey be sealed so
but what enough will escape to keep

tSpeciaD.-A disastrous fire occurred
in Jackson during the terrible storm
of Feb. IS. at about O'Clock p. NJ,
ed owned by Asa Boothby.
Mr.. Boothby and his sister Mary, it
1t supposed, persisted in the flames.
Mr.. Boothby's remains were found
in the cellar near the stairs with the
skull missing.
Near him We're found gun barrel
and razor blade.
His sister was found near by, her
skull also missing, while the skeleton
of a cat was found near the woman in
tact.
A neighbor discovered the fire but be-
fore reaching the place the house had
been burned to the ground.
AT the coroner's inquest, held Friday,
the jury decided that death was acct
dental.
The widest rumors are afloat, as it
was well-known that Mr.. BOothby was
well off and that a robbery might have
occurred.
Mr.. Boothby's age was near 80 years,
while his sister was a few years young
er.
She was nearly helpless cripple on
account of a bad fall, few years ago,
in which she received severe injuries
But the mysterious facts remain to
be solved if they can be.

about the gun and the razor?
