At the reunion of the Alden Kindred of

Mrs Marion Longfeliow O'Donoghue OF tins

Mrs O'Donoghue showed that out OF 103

Der, a small seed from which the harvest
has been great She traced the origin of the
Pilgrims and Puritans showing that the

ficiently distinct from the Church of Rome
to conform to their more rigid Views.
Ultimately they became what. Is known
as the Congregationalists. power widely
felt in New England and wherever New
Englanders settled. The Puritans did not
for some time separate from the Church
of England but sought to mold her to their
views; finally, in separating, becoming Pres
byterians.
'Thus" Mrs. O'Donoghue said, 1--WE see
that one difference between the Pilgrims
and PurtanS was that the former followed
the scriptural advice. If thine eye offend

when he landed at Plymouth Rock; he was
eighty-seven when he laid down the bur-
dens and responsibilities Of life. That he
was an educated man is proven by the fact
that to him were brought matters the I'M
learned could not decipher; to him were re-
ferred knotty questions. Miles Standish
turned to him for aid in clerkly affairs as
well as in diplomacy in love.

SCHOOL NOTES.
miss MAY FARROW, EDITOR.)

The work of the grades in music this
month is devoted to the songs appropri-
ate for Decoration day. The programs
bid fair to be very good this year.
Mr.. Upcraft, a missionary from China,
spoke to the students of the high school
Thursday afternoon. His talk was chief
ly about the customs and language of
the people of western China. He showed
how the characters of their language
were formed from pictures of objects in
real life. His address. was very enter
tanning and instructive and gave keen
insight into Chinese life.
Jerry NORM, 'O4, has been elected mar
shall for commencement.
Rev. Mr.. Baker of Townshend visited
in the high school Tuesday.
Miss May V Harte is to supply in the
seventh grade for the rest of the term in
place of Miss Marjorie Baker, who is I'M
able to continue her work ON account of
sickness.
The program for rhetoricals last Fri
day was:
The Belfry of Bruges, Louise Hay
Wolsey's Speech from Henry VIII,

Italy, Edward Howard
Miss Bertha Wiggin has been elected
editor for the school news for the month

The fifth grade taught by Miss Hunter
and the seventh grade taught by Mrs.
Pingree have each collected over so
specimens of flowers. There is much
rivalry among the different classes as to
who will have the largest collection.
The Bellows Falls high school has

ISOLATION. They will not compete this
season. however, but expect to have a
good team next year.

BELLOWS FALLS

Dear Sir: Here's what wears longer"
means.
ID. T. McGown. CoOperstOwn, \. V,
built house in 80 and painted Devoe.
The paint lasted 10 years.
A year or two later, neighbor built a
house and painted it lead and oil. The
neighbours house was repainteI twice in
the same time.
This looks as if the neighbours house was
painted three times in eight or nine years,
and McGown's once in ten years. We are
not quite sure-we tell the tale as it comes
to us.
1t is enough to say that Devoe Lead and
Zine lasts twice as long as lead and oil
alone. The reason is: white lead is soft
and chalks off; zinc is hard and, when
thoroughly ground into the lead, prevents
its chalking and makes it more durable.
Yours truly,
f. w. DEvOE & Co,

THE RANCH
The Chicken Mite.

One of the most troublesome pests with
which poultry growers have to deal is the
chicken mite, or chicken tick as it is more
properly called. When a flock becomes
infested with this parasite the egg produc-
ton is reduced and in many cases the pro-
fits seriously curtaied by the pest. Hatch
ing hens and young chicks are especially
liable to its attacks. A bulletin upon this
subject by DR.. J. J. Repp, veterinarian OF
the Iowa Experiment Station, has just been
issued and may be had free by addressing
a request to Prof c. F. Curtiss, Director of
the Experiment Station, Ames Iowa. 1t
contains information that is of actual money
value to those who grow poultry either
upon large or a small scale. The infor-
nation is based upon recent experiments in
combating the pest Kerosene emulsion IS
recommended and full directions given for
it's preparation and application. The emul-
sion may be prepared at home at cost OF
about As cents per 80 gallons this amount
being sufficient to spray the ordinary farm
hen house once Altogether the bulletin is
practical and helpful and by following its
directions owners of infested focks can ex-
terminate the pests and place the flock upon
a paying basis.

Good Showing By Beet Factory.

There seems to be an excellent prospect
ahead of the Waverly beet sugar factory,
which may fairly be called a strictly state
institution. 1t Uses local raw material and
manufactures product that is sold within
the state. In other words, it performs right
at home service which, without such an in
stitution, would be performed in another
state and for which sugar consumers would
send away money. AS Mr.. COrbin says, If
the Waverly factorys product this year
were brought in from the outside, it would
mean that approximately 100000 would be
sent out of the state Now, large sum re-
mains here and is distributed among factory
owners, operatives and farmers who grow
beets.
The Waverly factory will double its out
put this year. which means a great deal to
the factory and to the people who supply 1t
with beets Every pound of sugar manu-
featured in the state will supply the place OF
sugar that would otherwise be bought
abroad and will necessitate more extensive
factory operations and result in larger sums
being paid to labor and to the beet raisers.
The farmers have found that there is money
in beet culture and this year the crop IS
about double that of last year. No doubt
the acreage will be increased every year. tor
it has been shown pretty conclusively that
beet raising is better for the land than sum
mer following and no farmer ought to allow
his land to remain idle if he can get return
from it without in uring the land.

Prof. Spillman's Visit.

from Washington City about the middle OF
last months, and spent number of days
visiting the Oregon and Washington eX-
pertinent stations, and reaching Seattle III
time to attend the Trans-Misslsslpp1 Con
gress.
While here he conferred with Gov. Brady
regarding the agricultural possibilities OF
Alaska. and the result of this conference
will be that Prof. Spillman will visit Alaska
personally next summer in order to make in
designations regarding grasses and forage
plant conditions in that territory. He will
then compile the information gathered IN
the shape of a bulletin for free distribution.
One branch of experimental work being
undertaken by Prof. Spillman is the pre-
vention of shifting of sands, and he has es-
tablished six stations for experimenting
with the sand problem, one of them at Fort
Stevens on the Lower Columbia and another
above The Dalles cat The Dalles, says
the professor, 1--WE are confronted by one
of the worst conditions in the country, and
if we succeed there, we shall have demon
strated the value of Our theories. Professor
Hitchcock thinks he can control the sands
and we mean to try.
ct is we'll understood that seeding is i'm
practicable The seed is blown away and
grasses do not take root. There are mum
Der of grasses that will grow in the sands
but only one [ believe, that will effectually
stop the drifting This is beach grass.
"In setting out beach grass we will have
to transplant it, Beach grass grows IN big
cumps and we will take these clumps, tear
ing them into small bundles and planting
the bundles about .IS inches apart. The
grass will then grow readily especially in
moist sands
"At The Dales the plan will be to erect
brush fences IS feet apart and arrange IN the
form of a checl<erboard. These brush fences
Is inches high, have been found to prevent
the drifting of sand, and we will be able
in the winter to sow rye or similar seed and
after three seasons of this can plant beach
grass. Then we will have the sands fully
under control.
"The system we shall put into use at The
Dalles has been tried in Europe where they
have met problems equal to that existing
at Riparia and have succeeded. l do not
think there is any question OF Our success.
Of course there are hundreds of grasses that
will serve the purpose in tropical climates
but beach grass is practically the only one
suited for Oregon.
