LETTER TO GEO. ROSE.
MIDDLEBURY, VT.

Dear Sir: You. understand grinding
wheat, buckwheat, rye, oats and corn
We understand grinding whitehead and
white-Zinc. The two sorts of grinding
are not much alike. Very likely oats
and wheat behave very differently in the
mill, and you manage them differently
we know very little about your work
don't need to; we'd rather depend on you.
But we paint your house and mill, and
out-buildlngs; perhaps you'd be glad to
know about grinding paint; for some
people mix their paint with stick in q
tub.
We use lead and zinc-nothing else
And our zinc Is as tough as your oats
Tub mixers imagine they mix 1t. They
don't; they can't. Takes grinding to mix
lead and zinc.
They are both white. Tub-mixers
don't know 1t; but tub-mixed lead anc
zinc Is streak Of one alongside of 8
streak of the other.
We grind as you grind; and our pain
is lead and zinc ground together, mixed
intimately: 1t is neither lead nor zinc
but lead and Zinc: the lead Is lost, anG
the zinc Is lost each lost In the other
both lost In the mixture. Lead chalks
and zinc peels: lead and zinc grounc
together hang on and protect each other
We take care of your mill outside you
take care of it inside. Yours truly,
26 +. w. DEvOE & Co.

second year in the employ of the Rut-
land railroad under its various admins.
trations. Mr.. Wooster entered the
employment of the former Rutland and
Burlington Railroad company in the
civil engineering department In the
spring of 1919. At that time the road
had not been completed. During the
years 1851 and 1852 he was employed In
running levels for grayeling the track at
various points between Burlington and
Bellows Falls. From 1852 to 1861 he
acted as assistant roadmaster in addi-
tion to his duties as civil engineer, hav-
ing charge of the road between Rutland
and Burlington. In 1865 Mr.. Wooster
became storekeeper for the road, with
his office in Rutland, and has been
employed in the storehouse ever since.
He has been in service of the road longer
than any other living employee.

to be distinctly understood that all
the work they are doing in condition
with this show is entirely gratis and
that in addition to this the current
expenses which have to be met are
being taken care of personally and
will have to be until after the show
and besides this, each of the three
members have made a liberal sub
scription to the special prize fund.
1t would not be fair to even think
that the breeders of the country who
will derive as much good from and
who should be as much interested in
this show as the committeeman, will
refuse to aid this great undertaking.
The $1,000 to be raised for the state
fair list is about all provided for and
good portion of the $500 for spe-
Gals to be raised by the breeders has
already been pledged, but there is yet
considerable to be raised which can
be done easily by a little help from
each. 1t is not expected that breeders
living at distance will give large
amount, but they can afford to give
something and the committee wants it
understood that anything offered will
be gratefully accepted. If you do not
feel able to give $25, give $40 and if
not $40 then give 81. There are thou
sands of Poland-China breeders, and
even 81 from each would more than
raise the money, although there are
few breeders who could not afford to
give at least SIS. The subscription
blanks are now being sent out and it
is to be hoped that no breeder will re-
turn same without something filled in.
The Record Companies have prac-
tically refused to take an interest in
the show, the state fairs have cut the
premium list down on hogs until no
exhibitor can win enough money to
pay expenses and it is due to the three
members of the committee who are
working untiringly to make this show
grand success and when the SUBJ
scription blanks are sent around that
donation of some kind be made. This
is breeders show and nobody but
the breeders will be benefited and each
should see that he does his part. There
is friendly rivalry between the two
breeds as to who will make the best
show and have the most attractive
premium list. Will the representatives
Of the great breed of Poland-Chinas
stand still and see their favorite out
done? Consider this when filling out
your subscription blank, is the earn
est request of the management.

Tho Sand p1pn,.

In book written by Professor
Waugh, on plum culture, ne prints a
letter received by him from d. M.
Adams, of Sumner county, Kansas, on
the sand plum. We believe it will be
interesting to our readers and SO re-
produce it here:
This plum grows wild In this coun-
try along the Arkansas river. The
best patch Of wild ones l have seen
was on the bank Of the Arkansas at
the mouth of Slate Creek, a few miles
bt've Gueda Springs. There was
pcut forty acres in the patch that had
~esn left in its natural state. The
y,roGnd looked like barren sand
aank. There was no grass or weeds
or ether shrubbery, except few wild
grape vines. 1t was hot day in
August. The sand was so hot that the
boys could not walk over 1t in their
bare feet. The bushes grew down to
high water mark in the river. Most of
the hills were about ten feet above
the level of the river. The person that
owned the land sold the fruit and let
lis pick it, They watched and had it
picked clean as they went. 1t was
about the middle of August. They had
been picking for month and thought
there would be plums there for an
other month. The bushes were from
three to six feet high. The plums were
brown, the size Of May cherry, the
size of Damson plum. Some were
bright scarlet, the color of cherry;
others were a bright yellow or amber
color. Where they had not been pick
ed, the bushes We're bending to the
ground with their load of fruit. The
fruit was so thick as almost to hide
the leaves. 1t was the grandest sight
in the fruit line that l ever saw. They
looked like a large flower garden at
short distance We cultivate them in
our yards and gardens. All you have
to do is to set out few bushes. Soon
they will spread until they make a
thicket that one cannot walk through.
When they are in bloom they look like
bank of snow. They begin to ripen
at about the same time as wheat, and
continue to ripen for six weeks to two
months. They do not all ripen on the
same bush at once. There will be
ripe ones and others perfectly green
on the same limb at the same time.
They are one of the best fruits for
cooking that grow. We have patch
of four or five square rods. 1t gives us
all we want while they are going, and
then we have supply for canning.
Here is one OF tine most valuable
fruits. Some of the small-sized plums
have a bitter taste, still are very juicy
and acid. l do not know how they
will succeed further north. Since l
have been here I have sent several lots
