home Tor aged and INDECENT teachers,

fish a home at Saratoga, n Y, by the
trustees who hold the funds in trust.
The status of the case is as follows

This property has increased in value
and is now in the hands of Judge G.
H. Darling. trustee An association
was incorpated at Bennington to take
charge OF the fund and to establish
home.
The association has decided that.
while the sum available might buy or
build and equip a home. there was no
use in going ahead unless the teachers
OF Vermont wanted it badly enough to
support il after il was once establish
ed A small annual assessment on
the teachers of the state would raise
ample funds to keep up the home.

Ice Cave in east waIIInafora.

Although the fact is generally known
to SOME of the older residents OF Rut-
land county, yet comparatively few of
the younger people of the state know
that there is place. not over a dozen
miles from Rutland. where the suns
rays and heat have not penetrated and
where it has been possible TO obtain
naturally formed ice all through the
hot days Of July and August. That
place is what is known among a few
of the old residents OF the county as
the East Wallingtord ice cave. Very
little has been heard of this natural
curiosity for a number of years, the
reason for this being its location For
miles up and down the Otter valley
can be seen a place almost at the peak
Of the mountains east OF Wallingford
where, apparently, a large amount
of rock has fallen away and
rolled down the nearly perpendic-
ular side OF the mountain.
Ii is where these rocks have fallen
and lain for many years, centuries
perhaps, that the ice cave has been
formed. The rocks are huge boulders,
some of them over a dozen feet in d.
ameter, and the heap extends from the
base of the mountain fully 100 feet up
its sides. The boulders are of such
shape and fell in such a way that be-
tween them considerable room is left
and it is this space which has come to
be known as the ice cave. Ii is in re-
ality a succession of little caves. In
some places there is plenty of room Tor
one TO stand upright while in other
places il is necessary TO crawl on
hands and knees. To the innermost
recesses of the heap of boulders the
suns light and heat cannot get, and
the temperature there is never known
to rise above the freezing point
Above the rocks is a little spring the
water of which trickles down among
the boulders into the cave at the bot
tom. The part of the cave where the
water thus collects is coated with ice
Chunks of ice have been broken off
there weighing nearly ten pounds.
The water from this cave forms little
brook and a glasstul taken at a point a
short distance from the rocks Is as
cold as water can be made with ice.
The place might be popular resort
were it not for. two reasons-the fact
that it is so hard to reach and the
presence OF myriads Of mosquitoes, A
horse can be driven to a point about
one-eighth OF a mile from the cave,
but from there the journey must be
completed on foot through a dense
growth of bushes and trees. A road
was evidently cut to the place many
years ago but this is now almost en-
tirely obliterated by the growth of I'M
derbrush. In the vicinity of the
boulders mosquitoes are as thick as
they are in Jersey

Potatoes Are sliehtine.

The late blight of crust" has APP
peared on early potatoes at the Yer
mont experiment station. Burlington
This date, July Is, is the earliest
record OF its appearance there Tor the
past thirteen years during which It
has been a matter OF critical study by
the station officers. They consider
that the chances favor even more
serious development of the disease
than last year-and possibly, If
weather favors. the worst scourge of
the last decade. The reasons tor this
fear are three-fold first, this remark
ably early beginning Of the blight
which means that whatever the wealth
er conditions il will spread insidiously
from this time On; second, the large
amount Of rot occurring last autumn
means that the germs of the disease
which are carried in the seed potatoes,
are present in most potato fields;
third, the weather conditions so far
this season have prepared the crop
for serious blighting since planting
was delayed unusually late and the
growth made by the plants recently
has been very rank.
The rapid spread OF blight depends
upon weather conditions. II the rest
of the season should be continuously
dry there might be little trouble from
it. The chances are, however that
there will be an unusual development
of the disease.
Prices promise to be high again this
autumn and it is recommended by the
experiment station officers that spray
ing with bordeaux mixture, TO pre-
serve the plants from blight, be made
earlier and more thoroughly than
usual. Their specific recommends
tons are as follows
Spray early potatoes as soon as
possible now and later ones about the
first OF August. Probably it will be
profitable in either case to spray a
second time about two weeks after
the first application is made. Through
spraying requires from two to four
barrels of the mixture to the acre
Most people do not use enough.
There is no danger of injuring the
vines from an overdose providing the
mixture is properly made.
The mixture consists of / pound of
stone lime, / - pounds blue vitriol,
cooper sulphate). 10 gallons Of water.
q Id. lime, 6 lbs. vitrol, ! barrel
water) Stake lime and dissolve the
vitriol in separate vessels and mix
just before using Add paris green,
- 10. to the barrel Of mixture, II
needed for the bugs.
Remember this is preventive, not
cure, and must be applied before
the disease gains Roadway, also re-
member to spray thoroughly If at all.
Careless spraying is little better than
none
