History and tradition have furnished
US with the basic information which
has guided us in building the civiliza-
ton of today. 1t is said that in prehis-
toric times the meas of Peru built
roads that extended from the tropical
ly heated valleys up the mountains to
the regions of perpetual frost using
the natural asphalt rock, and these
roads are in good condition today. The
discovery of large section in Ken
lucky covered with asphalt rock, which
scientists have pronounced Il perfect
and natural combination of asphalt
and quartz sand, most valuable for
paving purposes and far superior to
any artificial combination that could
be made, is of vital Importance, says
the American Asphalt Journal. The
day may not be far distant when ev-
cry city and village will have all streets
paved with asphalt rock, material
which is not only the most durable,
but Clearly and noiseless.

VERMONT TRADE REPORT.
Bradstreet Tells of Conditions Prevailing
During Last Week.


During Last Week.
Business conditions in Vermont are
not materially changed from last week.
Maple sugar and syrup is finding ready
sale for small amounts at good prices,
but it is probable that producers will
hold the bulk of the sugar for higher
prices, as large dealers are unwilling to
buy heavily at present figures. Manu-
featuring industries are very active, es-
pecially in the marble, slate and granite
business. The season was little short
for lumber and a large amount of logs
could not be hauled to the mills. There
is the usual demand for jobbing goods
and collections are fair The season
thus far has not been very favorable for
retail trade, cold weather in April hav-
ing prevented active demand for seas on
able goods.
Business continues good in Burlington +;
the mills are busy and other manufac-
turing concerns are doing well it is I'M
derstood operations will shortly COM
mence for the building of large plant for
the manufacture of Photographic sup
plies. The wholesale trade is of usual
volume and collections fair, retail trade
restricted somewhat because of the cold
weather. Montpelier reports activity in
the granite sheds and prospects reasona-
bly, good in other lines, retail trade and
collections being fair. In Barre there is
the usual activity in granite which pre-
cedes Decoration Day. The manufac-
turers are very busy, with considerable
work ahead the Exchange" is in full
operation, its promoters using their best
efforts to insure its success, and it has
cordial support directly and indirectly
among the business men there. Retail
dealers are doing well and much salts
faction is expressed at the adjustment OF
labor difficulties. Rutland reports bust
ness very good, the marble industry
having never been more crowded will
orders than at the present time. Retail
trade and collections are fair. In Bel
lows Falls the manufacturing plants arr
very busy, some of them running nights
retail trade is good and collections salts
factory. st. Johnsbury reports manu-
featuring interests well employed

Bethel reports business both in manu-
featuring and retail lines about as usual
with no new features in trade circle

SPRAYING FRUIT TREES.

Vermont Experiment Station Gives Advice
to Fruit Growers Good for This Season.
Apples at $3.50 to So a barrel last fall
and twice that this spring are apt to
make folks interested in fruit trees.
Many farmers who have never paid
enough attention to their trees to know
whether they were bearing apples or
bananas, are now looking up on such
matters as grating, pruning and
spraying.
The experienced fruit growers of
course are all looking out for the spray
ing at this season of the year. The Yer
mont Experiment station says that The
mail is flooded with inquiries on this
subject, and in response to the general
interest, they have sent us the following
information. Questions on other points
may be addressed by letter or postal
card to Experiment Station, Burlington,
Vt.
The first requisite is a good spray
pump with necessary rigging. The out
fit can be bought of the manufacturers
or of the implement dealers. and will
cost anywhere from $40 to $780, y first
class outfit costs SIS to S25.
just at this time of the year the spray
ing needed by fruit trees is chiefly for
the prevention of fungus diseases. For
this purpose plain solution of copper
sulphate, one pound in 10 to 20 gallons
of water, may be used. Bordeaux mix
ture is equally as good, but it is more
bother to make. The first spraying
should be given at once, before the
blossoms open.
a little later, Just after the blossoms
fall, another spraying should be given
This should be Bordeaux mixture in
every case. Bordeaux mixture may be
made of varying proportions and
strengths. The standard mixture con
sists of II pounds copper sulphate,
pound stone lime, 10 gallons water c
pounds sulphate, pounds lime, barre
water). Dissolve the sulphate and slack
the lime in peparate vessels, dilute eaci
with about half of the total water to bt
used and then pour the sulphate solution
into the lime water while stirring vigor
ously. Continue the stirring for
minute to insure perfect mixture. Il
deterorates on standing and should b,
used soon after made. Keep the mix
ture clean to avoid clogging of pump
and nozzles. Strain the solutions anC
have strainer on suction tube of puml
a quick, convenient Way TO dissolvt
copper sulphate is to suspend it in 3
cheese-cloth or similar bag Just below
the surface of the water.
a third spraying two weeks later, W i'll
Bordeaux mixture, will be a paying in
vestment. Even fourth and fifth
spraying. at intervals of two weeks, vii
sometimes pay handsome dividends.
In all sprayings, except the first, SOM
paris green should be used. Add OIL,
pound paris green to 200 gallons 0
water, or four ounces to the barrel.
there is danger of bud moth the pari
green might better be used in the frs
spraying also.

WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN.
Season In Advance of Normal, But Little
Progress in Planting Reported.

season III ADVANCE OF Normal, 1but
Progress in Planting Reported.
Like the corresponding week last year,
the weather for the week ending April
u is considered as generally unfavorable
to the growth of grass and the planting
of crops, although, owing to the absence
of rain in most sections, there was much
general preparatory farm work done.
Although the concensus of opinion is
that the season is from ten days to three
weeks in advance of the normal. there
are but few reports of any great progress
in planting, the major part OF that
which has been done being the planting
of peas, potatoes, and few other early
vegetables. Although the amount of
rainfall during the week has been small,
the q ouud, as rule, is too wet to work
to advantage. The condition of the sew
eral staple crops is briefly mentioned
below.
With but one or two exceptions, where
1t was slightly winter-killed, grass is re-
ported as looking remarkably well, and =,
so far as can now be judged, the outlook
for good crop is favorable. EncOur-
aging reports are also received as to pas
lures, with some cattle already turned
out.
Most fall-sown grain has wintered
well. Some oats have been sown in the
southern portion of the section. There
will probably be an increased acreage of
corn, due 10 the high prices that have
prevailed the past winter.
Fruit buds started well, but the COO
weather has mewhat retarded theil
Development. Blackberry and rasp,
berry vines are looking well, taken as a
whole, although some canes were
wfnter-killed.
The maple sugar season is nearly
closed, the yield having been exception
ally good and the quality excellent.
