Futurity Stakes.

The Orleans County Fair association anc
! Iamoille Valley Playground company offel
the following futurity stakes for foals Of
1903 TO be raced as three year olds at Roar
4 ing Brook park, Barton, and at Morrisville
/ fall of 1906.
! These two counties are the best in Yer
mont for speedy horses, have the largest
4 breeding stock farms, raise and own more
speed at trot or pace, give larger purses
/ for harness racing, and draw bigger
crowds more times during the season than
any other part of our state.
Conditions OF these futurities are alike
at both associations, viz
Every nominator shall pay, in four in
stallments, the price of service fee OF his
foals sire, and II nominated mare has no
living foal Oct. LIST following, any other
can be substituted provided he pays the
difference in service fee, if any
The whole amount of money received is
to be equally divided in two purses for
trotters and PAGERS and one hundred dol
lars will be added to each purse by the as
ISOLATION.
Colts sold prior to the race, nomination
follows said colt.
Mile heats, best three in five to harness.
This is very liberal equitable offer and
a credit TO those popular tracks. Nothing
selfish and no jealousy in feeling; every
nominator has an equal chance whether
his colt trots or PAGES.
Some have an antipathy against a PAGER
and say they wouldn't own one, but Mr..
Savage OF Minneapolis seems to be willing
to own Dan Patch, as he refused seventy
thousand for him this winter.
Some say they are not good road horses,

The PAGER has won his way to popularity
by sheer merit and ought not to be ig-
nored by any association.

MARRIAGES VIOLATE CANYONS.
Church of England FOrbfds Certain
Alliances Thst other Religious
Bodies Tolerate.

On the last page of the book of COM
mon prayer of the Church of England is
list of the marriages that are forbid
den by the ecclesiastical authorities on
the ground of too close relationship, and
which, beginning with an intimation that
a man may not marry his grandmother,
nor woman her grandfather, have
often excited hilarity While it is per-
ferctly well known that any union con-
tracted in defiance of these disabilities is
not merely voidable, but actually void
men who have married the sisters of
their dead wives, finding that these
unions are not recognized by law, by
church and by society in England, and
that any children born thereto are lille
gitimate-it is not generally known that
marriages within the prohibited degree
of relationship are actually punishable
by Imprisonment, as well as by actual
public penance and communication de-
creed by the ecclesiastical courts.
1t is perfectly true, says the Chicago
Chronicle, that while the ecclesiastical
courts possess the power to infiict these
penalties, they have not, so far as can
recall, ever made use of them, realizing
probably that it would be contrary to
popular sentiment, and that imprison-
ment for offenses passed upon by the &c
clesiastical courts is out of keeping with
modern ideas and times.
may add in conclusion that not alone
are marriages with the dead wife's sis
ter null and void, but even the marriage
with the dead wife's niece, unions of this
kind being among the prohibited degrees
of relationship which, drawn up by Arch.
bishop Parker and formerly canonical
law, are now also part and parcel of the
civil law of England.

CONDENSED MILK TRADE.
Farm Paper Enumerates Several
Reasons for the Phenomenal
Growth of This Industry.

1t is doubtless true that the demand
A good many families that once used
cows milk now use condensed milk.
Recently the writer visited a friend
living in a small Michigan town, and
was surprised to see condensed milk
on the table. Cows milk was also on
the table, but the family used mostly
the condensed milk. Taking all things
into consideration they regarded the
condensed article as cheap as the
other, though prices for the latter
were very reasonable.
The Farmers Review gives several
reasons why large number of people
prefer the condensed milk. In the first
place, they assume that it has been
heated to point that kills all germ
life-which probably is not true. In
the second place, they believe that the
milk from which this condensed article
was made is cleaner than the milk gen.
orally Northumberland this is certain
ly true. The public has within a
few years heard great deal about the
filthy conditions in which many of our
dairy herds live and produce milk, and
they are fleeing from such milk. 1t
is also quite generally known that the
condensing factories are very exacting
in the matter of the milk they use. A
trip among the suppliers of milk for
condensing factories shows white
washed stables, well-lighted and we'll
ventilated, barnyards well-drained and
Clearly kept, milk cans perfectly clean
and bright, and cement cooling watts
in which is running cold water. The
milk inspectors do not hesitate to or
der the methods that will give clean
milk where ordering" is necessary.
We have known the milk of farmers
refused because they would not put In
a ventilator. For such reasons the
companies that make condensed milk
find the demand for their goods con-
stantly increasing The census of 1890
showed an annual production of 1885,
S21 pounds of condensed milk; the CEN
sus of 1900 showed an annual pro-
duction of 1856 1921, 7S7 pounds, an increase
of nearly 500 per cent.

SEVERE ROOT PRUNING.
System Has Many Advocates and Is
Especially Applicable Where
Climate Is Dry.

The advocates of severe root pruning
for trees being transplanted seem to
be increasing in number. According
to Luther Burbank this system is espe-
cially advantageous for planting In dry
climates. In a recent issue of the
Rural New Yorker he says: Every
experienced nurseryman trims all the
small side roots off his nursery stock
before planting This is a universal
custom, and in my experiments | have
found that seedlings and very young
trees should always be treated in this
way under all circum stances. young
Seeding tree which has had its roots
cut off to within a few inches Of the
collar, and the top almost wholly re-
moved, will in all cases make far
better growth than the one planted
with all it's roots, even if the top should
be removed. Of course it is necessary
to remove the top in proportion to the
amount of roots removed, and, strange
as it may seem, it is especially neces-
sary to prune the roots short when
they are to be planted on land that has
little moisture near the surface. For
the trees having many side roots divide
their forces in starting in all directions,
instead OF making good, substantial
main tap root, which the closely pruned
seeding will always proceed to do.
Though of universal application, these
facts are especially applicable to dry
climates like California and Texas.

FATHER HAS A SAY.
DisgruntIed Miss ON Street Car Seeks
to Terrify Conductor by
Chestnut Threat.

afternoon last week, relates the Chi
cago Inter Ocean. When the con-
ductor came around for her fare she
said: "You don't mind taking pennies,
do your" The conductor said any
thing would do, and the tiny person
smiled sweetly and thanked him.
When the car arrived at Monroe
street half an hour later the tiny one
beckoned the conductor to stop the
cable train. It was raining, and the
car ran several feet beyond the usual
stopping place, and after hating for
an instant jerked forward again at
the conductors signal. 1t also jerked
the little miss very rudely back into
her seat. She turned around. The
sweet smile had given way to cold
glare
''Stop the car, why don't you?" she
said as she hooked her umbrella stick
over the rope and gave it sudden
jerk.
Never mind that. I can stop it
myself" said the conductor.
well, then, stop it," shouted the
miss, and the two jerked the rope at
so nearly the same time that the grip
man did not stop.
The girl and the conductor then took
turns about pulling the rope. At last
she won and the car stopped.
'I've got your number, SIR she
said, land I want you to know that
my papa's a stakeholder in this COM
pany. I'm going to have you fired,
sir"
The conductor gave the signal to go
ahead, f1icked the rain from his coat
and said, YEARLY: ''From the number
of times I've heard that same story, I

GREEN FOOD FOR PIGS.
English Farmer Gives His Ideas of
How to Make Cheap and Ex-
ceIIent Pork.

A writer in the London Live Stock
Journal, who seems to be talking out OF
his own experience, says:
"Now, it is questionable whether
there is a better and cheaper way of
making pork than to grow field or two
Of rape, clover or grass and clover root
mixed, and run therein a number of
strong young shotes during the summer
months, shutting them up for a period
of from six to eight weeks in the au-
tumn and feeding them on some good
fattening food, when they will be ready
for the butcher. A pig should make good
pork, running from II to IL stone, in sew
en- months from birth, it is asserted. In
no way can he do it better than on the
lines indicated. Frame, bone and form
can be developed to perfection, and good
pasturage, combined with daily feed
Of grain food or milk and meal.
while good grass, clover or vetches
and clover make excellent pasture,
rape gives still better results. Pigs
thrive and feed on it amazingly A
farmer, a neighbor of mine, who keeps
a herd of approximately 200 pigs, speaks
in the highest terms of rape as green
food for them. 1t is useful crop in
other ways, as lambs do exceedingly well
on it.
"It would really appear that the sys-
tenn of grazing pigs could be extended
from it's present narrow and restricted
limits with decided advantage A field
or two of rape, clover, etc., for summer
pasturing, with, perhaps, an acre or so
of artichokes in addition, would well re-
pay cultivation where pigs are kept in
any numbers"

THE DEADLY LOCO WEED.
Small Pealike Plant That Causes
Great Loss to the stock Rails
ers of Montana.

How great loss is caused to stock
raisers by the loco weed and other
poisonous plants in this state is depict
ed in bulletin issued by the Montana
agricultural experiment station. The
writer, J. w. Blankinship, estimates the
annual loss from stock eating these
plants at 100000 and points out that
with the increase of the herds and
fiocks the loss is bound to increase I'M
less action is taken to exterminate the
plants, says a Bozeman report. In part
he says:
''The chief poison zones of the state
are nearly all confined to the foothills
Of the mountain ranges of the con-
tinental divide and to the high bench
lands of the plains eastward. There has
been little complaint from the extreme
eastern or western parts of the state.
These poison zones are characterized
by the abundance of the larkspurs.
lupines, death camas and wild parsnip,
which are far less frequent or entirely
absent further east or west. The loco
zone is a well-defined section near the
ter hemlock is frequent along streams
from the foothills westward, being rare
or entirely absent in the eastern plains.
"The white loco weed is small pea
like plant, six inches to foot high, with
conspicuous white or cream colored
flowers from thick woody persistent
root. 1t is distributed over nearly the
whole plains region of the United States
from Alberta and Assiniboia south into
Mexico, and from Minnesota and Kan
sas westward to the Rockies. Extensive
losses Of stock, attributed to this species,
are reported in New Mexico, Colorado
and Montana and to less extent in
mentioned. In Montana the white loco
is found throughout all the eastern
plains, and is not infrequent to the
mountain meadows up to 5000 feet
altitude. 1t is very unevenly distributed
and appears not to be found in sufficient
abundance to be dangerous except in the
district from Livingston to Billings and
from the mountains on the south north
ward to the Musselshell and around the
Little Belt and Highwood mountains
"In some parts of the loco zone the
losses sometimes average as high as so
per cent. of the lambs produced and in
several localities the sheepmen have
been compelled to dispose of their sheep
and stock up with cattle. The loco is
found mainly along dry rocky ridges or
gravel plains, but exhibits great capac-
ity for growing in nearly every kind Of
soil. 1t is a relatively recent introduce
ton into the state and is spreading from
the infected centers. There is consid-
cradle evidence to show that the buffalo
were the original agents of it's introduce
tion either through having eaten the
mature seeds and then scattered them
or from their habit of wallowing."
AS to discriminating the loco plant the
bulletin states that experiments in dig
ging it at certain seasons of the year
have been most effective and this seems
to be the only remedy,

cause of Appendicitis.

Physicians have all along contended
that appendicitis is an Inflammation of
the appendix-the result of a digestive
disturbance or of lowered vitality of the
intestinal tract The cold food or liquid
has the effect of sending the blood from
the intestines, the result being that the
vitality of the tract is greatly lowered.
If this practise is continued, the APP
pendix soon becomes infiamed, and a
case of appendicitis results. 1t is con-
tended that all cases of appendicitis dur
ing the summer months are due to cold
foods and drinks. The fact that the lat
ter will bring on the disease was first
noticed by a German physician, who
called the attention of his fellow prac-
titioners to the fact. The result was that
patients were carefully watched. and
the observations of the German physi-
clans were verified. Therefore, beware
of cold things for the stomach in the
summer time.
