DR.. G.. F. Abbott, who has recently
returned to New Hampshire from a visit
to Greensboro lake in Vermont, reports
that red weed known as the painter 8
brush, and somewhat resembling the
common daisy, has practically ruined
about fifteen farms near Greensboro
Bend. The weed grows about as high
as the ordinary field daisy, and has a
bright red flower, there being two or
three small blossoms on each stem. Dr.
Abbott says there is no known way of
killing the weed without killing every
thing else, and that a number of the
farmers are buying salt, as turning the
weed under does not have the least
effect. The weed has recently appeared
on farm in Dalton, and DR.. Abbott
urges the most effective measures TO
prevent its spread.

The Potato Question.

The rotting of potatoes has become
so general throughout the state, that
any information in relation to the infec-
ton must be Of interest to farmers The
Vermont experiment station has given
out some facts regarding the causes and
also statement of the effects of certain
applications made to the growing plants.
The cause of the rust" is attribute to a
fungus on the seed potatoes that de.
velOp in the potato shoots during
extreme wet or hot weather. Spores are
produced on the leaves, which, falling 10
the ground, invade the tubers and cause
the rot. The report of the department
says that spraying with bordeaux mix
ture kills these spores, and so prevents
both the blight of the leaves and the rot
of the tubers. The plants at the expert
ment station farm, which have been
sprayed, were AS green and healthy on
September as they were month
before, whereas, the rows in the field
left unsprayed, are dead.
The experiment station officers advise
prompt digging, through a series of eX-
periments now in progress have not
become completed. Some other interest
ing experiences, upon potatoes, are un-
der way, the results of which will be
published later. One of these is TO
determine whether when the vines
make very rank growth, it is better to
cut them back Another seeks to find
out whether spraying the soil will tend
TO check the rot.

State House Ready.

Sergeant-at-Arms j. W. Brock of
Montpelier, with John Hall, lanitor, and
assistants, have been busy during the
past six weeks in getting the state
house ready for the session of the legis-
ture in October. This work is now
practically completed and the interior of
the building presents an attractive ap.
pearance. On the first floor several of
the committee rooms have been painted,
all have been cleansed, and the office of
the sergeant-at arms has been thoroughly
renovated. A new carpet has been laid
in the treasurer's office, new oil cloth
in the office of the adjurant general, and
the coat room has been freshly painted,
both the wall and the ceiling. The car
pets in the office of the secretary of state
and in the lawyers room of the supreme
court department have been taken up
and cleaned The large pillars in the
lower rOtunda have been painted, as
have the walls leading up to the main
stairway.
In the vestibule leading to represent
tatives hall and the senate chamber
handsome new carpet has been laid and
another new one In the office of the
secretary of the senate. The stairs lead
ing to the galleries have also been new
ly carpeted. The carpet in the main
reception room has been taken up and
thoroughly cleansed. The old carpet
that was in the main lobby leading to
representatives hall has been made over
and laid in the rooms formerly occupied
by the clerk of the house.
In the senate chamber, perhaps, the
work done is the most apparent. All
the desks have been rubbed and secured
and then covered with a dull finish
which gives them the appearance of
new furniture. Every bit of wood work
has been cleaned as has the carpet on
the main floor and in the gallery. SINH
liar work is now in progress in represent
tative hall.
In the executive chamber the blinds
have been painted, the wood work
touched up and all the furniture cleaned
and polished ready for the occupancy of
the new governor. The state house has
never undergone more thorough clean
ing than the one that has been given it
this summer, and its improved appear
ance is noticeable even to the most
casual observer.

VERMONT TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet Tells of Conditions Prevailing
During Last Week.
The leading manufactures in the state
are busy and prospects appear good for
fall business. Collections are reason
ably good and labor is well employed.
The weather has been good for the most
part during the week and retail trade is
fair. While the corn crop will be small
it is probable that there will be over
half of an ordinary yield, and as prices
of farm products are high the farmers
should have successful year. Business
is good in Burlington the mills and fac
tories are busy and there continues to be
good demand for groceries and other
wholesale lines. Retail business and
collection are reported satisfactory.
Barre reports business good, the prices
which the manufacturers receive being
somewhat advanced on that received
before the exchange was organized, and
orders are coming in quite freely. The
manufactures are busy and collections
are fair, and retail trade good. In Mont
peier the granite dealers are busy and
conditions there are practically unchang-
ed Retail trade is reported satisfac-
tory. Business is good in Swanton;
the manufacturing concerns are busy
and the stores are having good trade,
the electric railway being favorable to
increased business. Waterbury reports
the condition of manufacturing interests
good, retail trade and collections salts
factory. In Fair Haven the slate bust
ness continues to be very successful, re-
tail trade as usual, collections fair. Ag-
rcultural crops are perhaps a little
below the average. Manufacturing in
terests well employed at Hardwick, re-
tail trade very fair, collections good.
Crops somewhat injured by frost. st.
Adams reports retail trade quiet, but
manufacturers are busy and collections
fair. Agricultural crops good. except
corn and some rust in potatoes. St.
Johnsbury reports manufacturing bust
ness good, retail trade and collections
also good; agricultural crops satistac-
tory, except corn. In Stowe the man
ufacturers are busy; retail trade good
collections fair; potatoes good, corn and
other crops fair. Business in Bethel ap-
pears to be as usual; considerable inte,-
est is shown In local granite quarry
here, which is being developed. The
strike against two machine shops in Rut-
land is unsettled and is considered an
unfavorable feature In the business stu
alton here, but late report indicates a
partial settlement of the strike. Retail
trade very fair; the weather is little
cool to improve the corn crop, which is
late and needs favorable weather for ma
turity; collections fair. Business re-
ported quiet in Brattleboro. The dry
weather for the past two weeks has i'm
proved farm conditions.

Killed by a Bull.

Willard F. May, aged 43 years, of
Winchester, n. H., was killed Wednes-
day by bull on the farm of f. l..
Houghton in Putney. He had probably
been dead an hour when the body was
found by another employee of the farm.
There were no marks of horns on the
body. but the chest was crushed and
ribs broken. The body was taken from
the yard, but great difficulty was ex-
perienced in getting the bull back into
the barn, a force of men working with
ropes and other appliances several
hours. The animal was thoroughbred
Holstein. one of the finest specimens of
the breed in the country, weighing over
ton, and had never been considered
vicious. Mr.. May was a widower who
had been twice married. He leaves two
children.
