The Vermont Experiment station has
completed its annual inspection of fertil-
izers and is about to issue its final
late to be of service this year to the far
mer who has by this time bought his
fertilizer. But it will stand him In
good stead next year. And If he has
been wise, he has made use of the
first bulletin issued two months ago,
which told the main part of the story.
Some people complain that fertilizer
analyses do not amount to anything,
because the goods are all right any
how and because the publication is so
late. They fail to understand that the
pressure of the state law is all important
factor in keeping the goods all right /;
and they do not know how costly and
laborious thing it is to make fertil-
izer analysis. Others allege that they
cannot interpret the results. 1t is not
very difficult to gather the meaning of
the data if one will but study and ask
questions but it is not kindergarten
work. The experiment station has analysed
1874 brands this year and has found six
seventies of them to be as good as they
were promised to be. Most the remain
der at least gave as much money value
as they were guaranteed to contain.
The character of the materials used was
usually good, the quality of the fertili-
ger averaged little higher than last

Some weeks ago the Vermont Expert
ment station was responsible for the cir
culation of some figures showing profits
made in apple growing. Briefly, these
figures showed that Mrs. Laura E. Allen
of South Hero, VT, had cleared 500 an
acre from II acres of orchard in 1893, and
that the crop of 1900 brought net profit
of 1888 an acre. These figures seem not
to have been satisfactory TO an inquiring
and captous public. Some persons who
know nothing about the apple business
thought it was fish story pure and SIM
ple,-others who are growing apples
themselves protested that they had done
better, and that the case therefore had
been unfairly presented. Several COM
munications were received on the subject
by the horticultural of the experiment
station, who is now happy to add the
following statistics to those already pub
lished. Mr.. Lucian Allen, also of South
Hero, has 300 bearing apple trees, cover
ing between five and six acres of land.
From these he sold in New York PSI bar
rels of the crop of 1900, for which he re.
ceived gross return OF SS15.2o, or an
average price of $40 a barrel. Freight,
carriage and commissions ate up Sl14.l3
of this sum, leaving net cash return of
$7O0.50. These figures are taken direct
ly from the returns of the commission
man, land the commission man seldom
returns more money than the fruit
brings. In addition to the S100.50
received for apples sold in New York,
Mr.. Allen sold considerable quantity at
home, from which he realized an addi-
tional Sl9S so. This makes a total of
1899 for the years crop, or $50 to $50
an acre.
Another Vermont apple grower, who
objects to having his name used, but
whose accounts have been examined and
found correct, has made still more re-
markable sales. Last year his total sales
mot nett we're $3543.25 from 10i acres
One single block of trees, covering a
acres, gave net return Of S1272, or over
1882 an acre clear profit on the farming
The figures from this orchard are not
now available for previous crops; but TO
the writer's personal and disinterested
knowledge the returns have been almost
equally good-sOmetimes full better
every year for several years past. Dur
ing at least ten years there has not been
single crop failure in this orchard.
And there are plenty more figures like
these.-Vt. Elk. Station Report.

victory FOR DR.. OHAGE
r. d. FREEMAN LOSES HIS SUIT
AGAINST THE SCHOOL
BOARD
VACCINATION IS COMPULSORY
Jury UphOIds Health Department In
Every Point at Issue-WiI
Appeal to Supreme
Court

Health Commissioner Ohage was upheld
in the mandamus proceedings brought
by Frank d. Freeman against the school
board to compel them to allow his little
girl, Edith, to attend the German school
without being Vaccinated. This was the
verdict of the jury that tried the case
The right of the health department to en-
force the vaccination is now settled, so
far as the district court is concerned
The case was tried before Judge Bum,
and three questions were submitted to
the jury to answer. They were: Was
there, during January of the present
year, a smallpox epidemic in the city, or
danger of one? The second was as to
whether or not vaccination is a pre-
ventive Of smallpox, and the third asked
whether the rule Of the school board re-
curing pupils to be vaccinated is q rea-
sonable regulation. To all these three
questions the jury answered Eyes"
An order dismissing the application for
writ Of mandamus compelling the school
board to admit the child as pupil in the
schools without compelling her to under
by Judge Bum.
On motion of Mr.. Pike, the attorney for
Mr.. Freeman, a stay of thirty days was
granted, SO that he will have a chance
to appeal the case to the supreme court.
The claim of Mr.. Freeman is that the
school board has no legal right to en-
force a vaccination rule.
The decision of this case has been
awaited with much interest, as it was
brought to test the right of the health
department to compel all pupils to be
vaccinated before they could attend
school

the contrary Notwithstanding. DR..
Riordan gave out the following: ''The
street railway systems Of Toronto and

and it is undoubtedly due to that fact
that Canadian money has been attracted
to American street railway stock. To
make the story short, Toronto and Mont

thing, and bought before the price began
to go up as We are sure it will. Our pur-

"THE KING HAS CONE.
GEORGE H. PHILLIPS, OF CHICAGO,
VISITS TWIN CITIES.

George H. Phillips, the ''corn king" Of
Chicago, was guest of ST. Paul yester-
day for a few hours. His presence was
for the purpose Of taking part in the
National Grain Growers Cooperative as
sociation, which has been in session here
for the past few days, but late train
denied him that privilege.
Instead, Mr. Phillips last night took
part in banquet held at the West hotel,
Minneapolis, where. with other prominent
men, he was one of the speakers. While
en- route to ST. Paul he was accompanied
by Leon Stern, the rug importer of Chi
cago; P. NJ Baumgarden, president of the
Antitrust Linseed Oil company, and F.
B. Taylor, vice president of the National
Autophone Company of Chicago, all Of
whom spoke last night
In speaking of the association and it's
future yesterday, Mr.. Phillips said the
Organization was new one to him. The
only one he knew connected with it was
s. H. Greeley, of Chicago, it's vice presi-
dent. At the fact that the convention,
all told, never exceeded twenty-one
delegates, he expressed surprise, but said
he supposed this was due to the fact
that the organization was new, and grain
growers had not been informed of It's
existence.
For a man who has been carrying out
such mammoth deals, Mr.. Phillips looks
surprisingly young. His youth and the
stories of his prowess that have proceed
ed him yesterday invariably caused COM
ment from those to whom he was intro
duced.
For the past two weeks Mr.. Phillips
says he has been sick, and for a person
in that predicament any place is better
than the Windy City. He says he would
like to remain in the Twin Cities for sew
eral weeks in order to recuperate.

OFFICIAL HEADS MAY GO
RETURN OF PRESIDENT sCHIFF-
MANN IS AWAITED WITH
KEEN ANXIETY
THREE CHANGES MAY BE MADE
According to Report, Custodian
Battley, Aid. Murphy and
MOriarty May Be
Displaced.

The arrival Of President Schiffmann,
of the common council, who at present
is out Of the city, is a matter Of much
concern to the men who daily toll that
the city hall and court house may be kept
in a presentable condition.
On President Schiffmann devolves the
task Of naming the city end Of the COM
mission that will have the care Of the
big building for the next year, and if
rumor is correct he will make some radI-
cal changes. One of these changes, it is
said,will be the displacement of Aid. Muir
ply and Moriarty, and in that event there
will be a successor to the present eff
cient custodian, Frank Battley. Mr..
Battley, while conducting the big build
ing in a manner that leaves little room
for complaint, has nevertheless, accord
ing to the rumor, been extravagant in a
manner, and he will have to go. AT any
rate he is not acceptable, so it Is said,
to President Schiffmann.
Who the new members of the commits
sion will be, and who will be Mr.. Bait
ley's successor, is largely a matter Of
conjecture, but the contemplated changes
have been sufficient to keep Mr.. Sch1ff-
manns telephone busy the past week with
inquiries as to when he will arrive home
In connection with the rumored changes
Aid. Hunt and Assemblyman Whitconib
are spoken Of as SUCCESSORS to Aid. Muir
ply and Moriarty.

TOO SICK TO LIVE.
I'LL HEALTH ASSIGNED AS CAUSE
FOR EDGAR JONES' SUICIDE.

Edgar Jones, a colored man, twenty
two years old. shot and killed himself
in resort at 103 West Third street, at
$50 o'clock yesterday morning Ardell
Wilson, colored woman, with whom he
had been staying, had left the room to
get can of beer, and when she re-
turned she found Jones lying on the bed
with revolver in his hand and blood
streaming from his right ear She i'm
mediately notified the police, and Coroner
Miller was summoned. 1t was found that
death had ensued instantly, and no au-
topsy or inquest will be held.
Jones came to st. Paul from Chicago
about year ago and has been employed
as porter at several local barber shops
Several weeks ago he started working in
the shining parlors at 108 East Fourth
street. His health was not good, and
he frequently suffered from hemorrhages
Of the nose, at which times he lost much
blood. No other reason than his illness
can be assigned for his suicide. He has
been staying at the Wilson woman's
rooms for some time.
Jones relatives, who live in Memphis
Tenn, have been notified, and they will
probably take possession of the remains
His life was insured for $1,000.
