From Ii. Ii. Smith, W0lc0tt, VI.
In regard to your salt; | have used it for
the last two years, and can truly say it's
the greatest fertilizer l have ever seen. 1t
is good for any kind of crops. In the last
two years ! have had three acres of oats
each year and the growth was large, healthy
and strong. This year l used ton on three
acres and received good result from 1t.
From H. e. Kneeland, Johnson, vt.
Used salt OH various crops with good re-
suits, but best results to oat crop. Turned
over several acres of worn out grass land
and sOwed it at the rate of 400 lbs. per acre
with no other fertilizer, also used 1t on oat
stubble of previous sowing, and in both
cases as good results were obtained as when
/ used barn manure. Think it is the
cheapest fertilizer for the money invested
that l have used. Intend to use more the
coming season.
From II. f. Hayford, Eden, VT.
Am fully convinced that as fertilizer for
oats it is the best and cheapest in the mar.
ket. Used 800 pounds to the acre in place of
manure with good results.
From Sewell Newton, No. Hyde Park, VT.
Spread one ton of salt on four acres and
sOwed to oats, all of it steep side hill, upon
which have never known any manure to be
drawn. Had sowed some Two acres to oats
for 8 successive years and obtained more
last year where used salt than in the three
previous years altogether. it is much
cheaper and results as good, if not better
than commercial fertilizers for small grains
and on dry or sandy soil.
From W. S. NewcOmb, Cady's Falls, Vt
Used it on oats. Made straw sitter and
brighter and less liable to lodge and rust
and the grain heavier. The best fertilizer
considering its cost, that | can get, espe-
cially on light, dry soil. Keeps the ground
moist and insures better catch where it is
desired to sow grass seed with oats.

The FOSburg Case.

According to States Attorney
James B. Donaway, the preliminary
hearing in the case of Nelson Jones,
who is held on suspicion of causing
the death of Miss Ida Fosburg of
Shoreham by poisoning, cannot take
place before the last of the month, as
the examination of the viscera of
Miss Fosburg has not yet been COM
pleted. Mrs. Donaway, who has
been in Waterbury and Burlington,
in consultation with the Psychologists
who are engaged upon this work,
states that it will probably be three
weeks before the doctors are ready
to make eirreport. Mr.. Donaway
also states that the report that
Messrs. Fish and Stickney, counsel
for Jones have the intention of APP
plying for their clients release on a
writ of habeas corpus, is without
foundation. Meanwhile Jones, al
though finding confinement irksome,
is taking life cheerfully and philosoph-
ically, and receives visits from many
friends in his prison quarters. His
friends continue to maintain strong
confidence in his innocence and init
mate that their belief will be vindi-

Dear Sir: Lead and oil is no long

AS everybody knows, lead and oil
chalks or powders off in about three
years-three years is its limit.
Painters are putting a little zinc
in their lead to make it fought
lasts good three years with a little
zinc.
But painters don't like the job OF
mixing zinc. It's a tedious job, and,
both being white, nobody knows
when the mixing is through. 1t gets
halfmixed; and the paint goes on, q
streak of lead and streak of zinc.
That is not good work.
The mistake made is in trying to
do by hand what is better done by
machinery. Hand-work can't com
pete with machine work.
Devoe lead and zinc is your paint
It wears twice as long as lead and oil
This reduces the cost of keeping 9

A Wrinkle In Cooking Steak.

The proper way to cook a beefsteak
is to broil 1t, but oftentimes it may
happen that 1t is not convenient, and
the steak must be fried. This may be
done very satisfactorily If q little
thought is given to the matter. Put an
iron saucepan over the fire and let 1t
become very hot; then rub the pan with
piece of butter and put in the steak
and quickly brown one side; then
turn 1t and brown the other side. This
will keep In the juices. Cover the pan
and cook the steak three minutes;
again turn 1t and cook 1t three minutes
longer. If the steak is not Of extra
thickness, the meat will be cooked
sufficiently in that length Of time.
Place the steak on hot platter, spread
1t with butter, season with salt and
pepper and serve.

EVENING DRESS IN BLACK AND WHITE.
falls away almost in tunic fashion the
dress, to reveal an underdress of lace.
With this either very tight sleeves fit
ting closely to the wrist are worn or
very short sleeves made of a tiny puff,
the latter being, of course, essentially
empire.
Quite as conspicuously as the empire
dress forms the idol for evening wear
so does the little bolero distinguish all
the day dresses.
But these picturesque styles do not
detract from the popularity of the lace
and jeweled frock made on the more
conventional lines, with short sleeves,
pouched bodice and narrow belt, and
we still rejoice in the plain cloth dress
es with many stitchings and lace or
lisse cravat tied with velvet knot and
set into jeweled ends.
The evening dress illustrated is the
always desirable combination of white
and black. 1t is of crepe de chine bear
ing an applique of black lace in waved
lines and single motifs and the bodice
is tucked with the lace brought round
the figure in very becoming fashion
and the lisse fastened into the center
Of the decolletage with an ornamented
button.
The very latest mode for the couture
is to dress it low, but women in gener-
al should be very careful before they
adopt this style. With a classical head
and well proportional figure nothing is
more beautiful, but for ordinary folk it
| is distinctly trying.
With the present low style of hair
dressing it is absolutely necessary to
have the hair full and loose in the
| front and, of course, waved. Rumor

The Railroad Commission.

If a fresh example is needed of the
utter uselessness of the railroad com
mission under the present law it is
found in case at White River juno
ton. The citizens of that place have
for long time been trying to obtain
some safety from particular dan
gerous railroad crossing. Sometime
since an appeal was made to the rail-
road commission and an hearing was
granted, which of course involved a
considerable expense to the state. It
is announced that the board has
decided that it has no Jurisdiction in
the matter. In other words it has no
authority to compel the railroad
company to provide any measures of
safety. The matter of giving the
railroad commission a reasonable
amount of power or abolishing the
present farce was thoroughly dis
cussed by the press and people pre-
vious to and during the last general
assembly. A bill was presented in that
body which would have given the
commission some power, but it never
reached the governor. The general
assembly as body refused to grant
the railroad commission any jurisdic-
ton; it refused to abolish q useless
and expensive commission. 1t allow
ed the thing to go along in it's pre-
sent state with just enough power to
enable its members to draw their
breath and secure a good salary
