THE OPEN SALOON.

The Messenger believes it is mistake
to assume, as some of our prohibition
friends are now doing, that local-option-
high license law must necessarily license
the open saloon. The Messenger does
not want to see the open saloon estab-
lished in Vermont and it believes the
great majority of thoughtful aEti-prohi-
bitionists do not want 1t, either. 1t is
possible to frame a law that will meet
the requirements of rural state like
Vermont without licensing the saloon.
Let us have such law framed this fall
and submitted to the people.-St. Adams

The Experiment state station at Bur-
lingtOn has just issued three bulletins
aggregating over one hundred pages.
They describe commercial fertilizers,
Vermont grasses and clOvers, and a
plant poisonous to horses. No. % on
grasses and clOyers is copiOusly illUstra-
ted. 1t describes and values the sundry
hay and pasture grasses and cloVers,
discussed the weed grasses and methods
of combating them, considers the cul-
tivation of grasses and clOYers and tells
how to recognize them. 1t will be
found TO be an extremely helpful and
suggestive pamphlet. No. 95 describes
the common hOrsetail plant now being
harvested in the hay in many portions
of this state. This plant has probably
killed hundreds of Vermont horses.
One horseman, who in the last few
years has lost several horses, seeing the
preliminary notice of this bulletin in a
Vermont paper, investigated his hay,
found the plant therein and feeds 1t no
longer.
All three bulletins will be sent with
out charge to any person who requests
them. Back issues for several years
will likewise be forwarded on request.
The applicants name will, If he requests
it, be placed on the mailing list for
future issues. a postal card addressed
