VERMONT BULLETIN

The experiment station at Burling-
ton, Vt, has Just issued three bull
letins aggregating over one hundred
pages They describe commercial
fertilizers, Vermont grasses and
clovers, and a plant poisonous to
horses. No. 80 discusses the com
mercial fertilizer trade of the State,
discloses the character of the goods
sold, and advises concerning pur-
chases, etc. No. "a on grasses and
clovers is copiously illustrated. 1t
describes and values the sundry hay
and pasture grasses and clovers,
discusses the weed grasses and meth
DDS of combating them, considers the
cultivation of grasses and clovers and
tells how to recognize them. 1t will
be found to be an extremely helpful
and suggestive pamphlet No. 80
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 Vermont paper,
investigated his hay, found the plant
therein and feeds it no longer.
All three bulletins will be sent
without charge to any person who re-
quests 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 to the Exper-
iment Station, Burlington, Vt, stat
ing desires, will be sufficient.

sufficiently varied and occasionally
introduce pleasant little surprise in
the shape of new refreshment.
Plain iced tea is converted into quite
an elaborate beverage by the addition
of fruits to suit the taste. For one
quart of tea take the juice of several
lemons, half as many oranges and a
generous sprinkling of bits of pine
apple and banana, Iced chocolate,
if properly made, is both whole
some and delicious. Put one ounce of
unsweetened chocolate into a sauce
pan and pour on it gradually one
pint of boiling water, stirring all
the time. Put the saucepan on the
fire and stir until the chocolate is all
dissolved, then add a pint of granu
lated sugar and stir it until it be-
gins to boil. Cook for three minutes
longer without stirring, then strain
and cool. Add one teaspoonful of
vanilla extract, bottle and store in a
cool place. When needed put two
tablespoons of crushed ice in a tumb-
Ter, add two tablespoons of the
chocolate syrup, three tablespoons of
whipped cream, one gill of milk and
half gill of carbonic water.

THE TURKEY As A BUG KILLER.

Grasshoppers and other insect pests
could not hold high carnival in the
fields and orchards of Colorado this
season if farmers and fruit raisers
would only employ the proper means
to circumvent them. Their deadly
enemy is the plain domestic turkey,
the bird that turned Thanksgiving
Day from time of prayer and medi-
tation to a time of gorging and purga-
tive pills. Farmers, beet sugar raisers
and fruit culturists all over the State
are now raising turkeys, which they
turn into the fields and orchards to
eat the insects. Experiments have
been under way with the turkey as a
bugkiller for sevral years past, and
each test has given very satisfactory
results. "The Field and Farm"
propagated the idea fifteen y ears ago,
the advice coming originally from
Mr.. Ogilvy, Of Weld county. The
proposition is creating great deal of
interest in all sections, and turkey
eggs for Matching have been in much
demand Denver Field and Farm.

LIFE WORK ENDED.

Portland, Aug. 7.-Sheriff Pearson
died at Poland, at White Oak Springs
Hotel at ~ :l5 a. m. Wednesday, With
him at the time of his death were his
daughter, Miss Evangeline, and his
physician, DR.. Norcross of Lewiston.
Sheriff Pearson went to White Oak
Springs Hotel five weeks ago. The
worry incident to his office had caused
him to fail rapidly in health and al
most compelled by his friends he went
away for rest.
Rev. 5. f. Pearson was born in
Roxbury. Mass, July 16, 1871. He ac-
CURED his early education in the pub
lie schools of Roxbury and Chelsea,
and received his training for active
life in the business house of Pearson,
Howe q Stackman, Roxbury In Au-
gust, 1862, he enlisted for three years
in the Fortieth Massachusetts regi-
ment, and served with distinction I'M
til the close of the war, being twice
offered commissions and refusing to
accept them. After the close of his
army career he engaged i'll the chand-
lery and ship store business in the
house of Henry Tholmes, Boston, and
i'll 1866 established the firm of Weth-
erby, Pearson Co, as successors to
Henry Tholmes.
The campaign for the election of
sheriff of Cumberland county in 1900
resulted in the election of Mr.. Pear
son. On assuming the duties of the
office in January, 1901, Sheriff Pear
son at once began vigorous enforce
ment of the Maine liquor law, and
from this line of action he never
swerved a hairs breadth The con-

COLLERIES ABANDONED.

Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. William
Stein, the State mine inspector for the
Shenandoah region on Wednesday an
nounced that five collieries under his
jurisdiction which have an estimated
value of 81, 800, 600, have been rendered
useless by reason of having flooded
and have been permanently abandoned
by the companies owning them. Four
of them-Bear Run, East Bear Ridge,
Kohinor and Preston No. 3-belong to
the Philadelphia & Reading Iron COM
pany and he places their value at
about $500, 900 each. The other col
liery is the Lawrence and is owned
by the Sheafer estate of Pottsville and
also represents about $500, 900.
Mr.. Stein estimates that out of
the thirty-six collieries in his district
| only fourteen are in a condition for
! immediate operation if file strike were
ended. The others are III such con-
dition that il would require anywhere
| from two to four months to clear them
of water and make repairs. The aban-
donment of the five collieries will
compel 1000 mine workers to seek
employment in other parts of the
region.
The situation so far as the peace OF
the Shenandoah region was concerned
remains unchanged. Wednesday was
probably the quietest day since the sol.
diers were called out one week ago.

CHARCOAL FOR PIGS.

Charcoal for pigs has been found
highly beneficial. When confined in
pens pigs will consume coal, ashes,
rotten wood and even soft bricks.
This is due to the lack of certain ele-
NETS in the food, usually mineral
matter. Charcoal serves as a correc-
tive, and may be used freely, but it
is better to avoid coal and other very
hard substances. Wood ashes contain
large proportion of lime, and if a
supply can be kept in box within
easy access of the animals, with an
allowance of freshly burned charcoal,
the pigs will make rapid growth and
keep in thrifty condition.

SPRAYING AND wHITEwASHING.

A force pump is a necessary article
around poultry house During all
season of the year it is important
that the houses should be sprayed or
whitewashed all over the inside.
Sometimes it is done for disease,
sometimes for cleanliness, and other
times for lice. 1t is impossible to
keep a poultry house in good condition
without using whitewash of some
kind several times year, no matter
for what cause. To use whitewash
brush is a great deal of trouble, es
pecially when there is more than one
house to be looked after; neverthe-
less it must be done, and the easiest
way, and the best way, is to procure
force pump. The work Of spraying
can be done in very little time, and
is much more effective than with the
brush, for the sprayer sends the solu-
ton in all the little cracks and crew.

solution of carbolic acid, copperas, or

thinned and forced all over the cell

to dry before the birds return. For
all troubles there is nothing better
than thorough cleansing of the poul-
try house. 1t kills germs, lice, dirt,
and does more good than anything
else that can be done, as it does its
work easily and cheaply.

NO COMBINE" IN FAR MIMI.

The Census Bureau has just got to-
gether its figures showing the condi-
tion of the great agricultural interests
of the country in 1900, and it shows
that in this greatest of all indus
tries, the basis of all our life and
activity, there are no combinations or
trusts, and can be none. The number
OF farms increased in ten years at a
higher rate than population, and the
average size is 146 acres, or less than

There are 5,740, 600 farms in the
country, valued at $40, 675, 900, 000

PROGRESS OF TOPOGRAPHIC
MAPPING OF VERMONT.

The topographic mapping of the State
of Vermont is being continued this sum
mer by the topographic branch OF the
United States Geological Survey, In
structions have been recently issued to
Topographer c. c. Bassett to complete
the mapping of the Brandon quadrangle,
section in Western Vermont included
between attitudes 43 degrees As minutes
and A degrees and longitudes 73 degrees
and Is minutes. The scale of the map
will be :45 600, and the relief or topo-
graphy of the country will be expressed
by contours. or lines drawn through
points of equal elevation, which will not
only show heights above sea level, but in
dictate the character of the slopes and
shapes of the hills
Twenty-seven similar topographic map
sheets covering portions of the southern
and western parts of the State have been
published by the Geological Survey and
are now available. These are to be fol-
lowed by others as rapidly as the funds OF
the Survey will permit, until the entire
State is surveyed and mapped. The
party of which Mr. Bassett will have
charge will consist of J w, Leverich and
c. S. Hastings field assistants; George
Bailey, levelman; and d. l.. Symington

GROWING THE QUEEN.

The Archbishop of York then crown
ed the Queen in much the same man
ner as the King had been crowned,
but with less elaborate ritual. AS
the crown was placed on her head all
the peeresses put ON their coronets.
After prayers and thanksgivings the
ceremony ended. The King and Queen
were escorted through door on the
south side of the altar into King
Henry's chapel, were they were di-
vested of their coronation robes and
arrayed in robes of purple velvet. The
great mobiles then escorted them to
their carriages and the procession
returned to Buckingham Palace. On
the way back the procession took the
longer route through Whitehall, Pic
cadilly and Constitution Hill. 1t was
the only occasion upon which the gen
eral public could see the King and
Queen wearing their crowns, and they
watched them with enormous interest
