former. If the heap should begin to
heat, let it be drenched with water,
either from a nearby we'll or from the
eaves-trough of the barn. Often the
manure heap can be located SO that wa
ter can be conveyed directly upon it
from the pump by means of a spout.
Cow manure is considered cold and
slow to heat, but it has been my ex-
perience that where all the liquids are
saved with the solids, the mass is much
more likely to heat. Where heat is
generated, and water can be turned on
as needed, decay will take place very
rapidly, and the manure will soon be
in a condition to become readily avail
able for the use of plants. With such
foundation, and with water at hand
to apply as needed, the dressing will
lose little or none of its valuable ele-
ments, entirely uncovered as it is.
[ present also diagram showing the
plan have recently adopted in village
stable for saving the solids and liquids
without loss. Two cow and two horse
stalls occupy a closed room by them
selves in one cuj of the stable. desired
make its foundation upon the ground, as
the stable sets we'll up from the ground.
I therefore laid a double board floor,
sloping it toward the rear. Upon this
double floor was laid a coat of cement,
following the pitch of the floor to a
point a little behind the stalls, at A.
From that point it pitches the other
way till the partition is reached, as
shown in the diagram.
The platforms of the stalls are raised
several inches above the inclined ce-
ment floor. All the liquid that runs
through the platforms will be conducted
down the inclined cement floor to the
point a, where it soaks into a lot Of
litter, sawdust, etc, with which the
floor behind the stalls is kept covered.
I present this plan because it can well
be adopted in barns and stables already
built, the incline being secured in the
coating of cement. since the board floor
| will be level.
A thin coat of cement behind the
stalls would be injured by the sharp
shoes of horses, but this will not occur
il the cement is kept well covered with
tabsorbents, that are removed as they
become saturated. Without some such
arrangement as this, large part of the
liquid manure is likely to leak down
through the floor and be lost in the
ground beneath, or become menace
to health if the stable be adjacent to
ones house or well.

China cannot comply with and still remain at
peace with Japan, or for that matter with other

take what she wants from China unless China backs
her refusal to be looted in the interest of Russia by

Valuable Hints About Preserving 1t
in Good Condition.
We hear much about the desirability
of manure cellars, covered barnyards,
manure sheds and other covered quar-
ters for housing dressing until one is
ready to apply it to the land; but the
fact remains that the average farmer
who is not now blessed with one OF
these means of preserving manure at
its best, does not, in nine cases out of
ten, see his way clear to provide himself
with one of them. The barn that is now
without a cellar cannot easily be fitted
cut with this desirable adjunct. Build
ing additional roofs to cover stable

none-for-me proposition. Gov. Wood
bury conducts hotel in Burlington
town and a hotel is not made to rattle
with its own emptiness but is designed
to be occupied by various and sundry
individuals who happen to find them
selves in town. Gov. Woodbury's hotel,
we surmise, was not built on any differ
ent plan. We commend his proposition
as guided by the head of keen business
man.-Barre Daily Times.
That is our position. The man who
invests his money in home enterprises,
judiciously, of course, is more certain to
make money himself, than when it is
invested in far away enterprises and its
success depends wholly upon the integ-
rity and ability of others. Home invest
ments pay both the Individual and the
town. Gov. Woodbury. is looking out
first for himself, and then for Burling-
ton, but he is to be commended, and his
example should be initiated. because he
is one of the few Vermonters who is
far sighted enough to see that what
benefits his city benefits him, and what
benefits him benefits Burlington. Give
us more men like him. Every tow n

The Rutland Daily News says: 1T
can truthfully be said that not a man in
Rutland had more friends and fewer
enemies than Col Joel c. Baker Kind
hearted and generous almost to a fault,
always courteous and ever concerned for
the welfare of his friends and neighbors
he had won an enviable place in the
hearts of his fellow citizens There is
little question that Col. Baker might
have been much richer man had he
accepted all the opportunities to secure
wealth which came to him in the daily
practice of his profession, but there are
other considerations in life besides
financial gain and Col. Baker was one of
the few men who have realized it before
too late, In the highest sense of the
word Col. Baker was one of the most
successful men with whom the people
of this community have ever been
brought into contact" He was as much
respected and beloved in Addison as in
Rutland county and his death is a
distinct loss to the State.

Jud qe Powers.

Governor McCullough's appointment
of George NJ. Powers, of Morrisville, to
be judge of the supreme court of Yer
mont to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Judge Wendell P. Stafford
of st. Johnsbury, is fitting recognition
of the worth of one of Vermont's fore
most lawyers of the younger generation
and will be taken and accepted generally
throughout the state as a welcome
manifestation that the long-enduring
prestige of the Vermont bench is reso-
lutely to be maintained says the st.
Adams Messenger. Vermont is and
always has been particularly fortunate
in this regard. AS rule the legislature
has avoided permitting politics to
seriously bias the choice of judges in the
first place; governors have been as dis
Greet in making recess appointments,
and the judges themselves have scru-
pulously preserved the dignity of their
high offices. Judge Powers will be a
credit to the Vermont bench as his father
was before him, and what is better, will
do it on his own merits and not merely
because he is his fathers son.
The Burlington Free Press says:
Governor John G.. Mccullough demon
strated in this connection what was al
ready known to be true of him, namely,
that he was too broad a man to base
public acts on considerations of
personal nature. He has set a worthy
example by elevating to the Supreme
Court the aspirant whom he deemed
most available for the position all things
considered, regardless of the fact that
Mr.. Powers saw fit to support the guber-
material candidacy of other men against
him; and for this reason as well as others
the appointment of Judge George NJ.
Powers is one of the most creditable acts
of Governor McCullough's excellent
administra ton"
George NJ. Powers was born in Hyde
Park, December 10, 1861, and is, there
fore, AZ years old. His residence has
always been in Lamoille county, the
greater portion of the time in Morris
vile. He was graduated from the
University of Vermont in 1888 and
served as assistant clerk of the house
of representatives in 1884, sc, and IS.
He was secretary of the senate in 1890,
'92, and "a, He was states attorney for
Lamolle comfy 1SSS-'00. In 1896 he
was elected representative from Norris
town to the Legislature and was one of
the leading members of the house. Dur
ing this time he had built up a large
law practice and in March, 1902, he was
appointed reporter for the supreme court
of Vermont, to succeed Seneca Haselton.

CURES WHILE YOU SLEEP

Hyomei Guaranteed to Cure Catarrh or
Money Refunded by w. II. sheldon.
In addition to breathing Hyomei three
or four times day through the inhaler
that comes with every outfit, it is well
in the treatment of catarrh or catarrhal
colds to moisten piece of flannel with
few drops of Hyomei, and pin to the
night clothes right under the chin. In
this way Hyomei will be breathed the
whole night long, curing while you
sleep. In most cases it will break up a
cold over night.
The complete Hyomei outfit. consist
ing of a pocket inhaler, a medicine
dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei costs
but one dollar. The inhaler will last
life time, and if more Hyomei is needed,
extra bottles can be obtained for fifty
cents.
1t is the most economical of all
remedies for the cure of catarrh, and the
only one that follows a natural method
in treating diseases of the respiratory
organs. Physicians advise a change of
climate for the cure of catarrh. With
Hyomei, change of climate is gained
while at home. Its healing balsams
impregnate the air you breath, and their
health-giving and germ-destroying
powers go to the most remote air cells of
the respiratory organs.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.
w. II. Sheldon has 50 much confidence
in its power to kill catarrh, grip, and
catarrhal colds, that he sells it under his
personal guarantee to refund the money
if it fails to cure.

Old Home Week.

"Old home week, a comparatively new
institution in Vermont, is in fair way
to become thing of the past unless it is
celebrated, and celebrated in earnest,
during the coming summer says the Rut-
land Daily News. Considerable is being
said about the matter in the state papers
at the present time, but little of a
definite nature has been done and unless
the project takes on new life, and that
soon, the Vermont old home week this
year will mean little more than it did last,
and in few more years the whole idea
will have been forgotten, This condition
of things is to be regretted, but there is
no reason why it should be so.

able book of the season in more ways
than one. In the first place it is by

have been sold so widely. Then it is

his life and we'll made scenes and fiction

them in color, with splendidly en-
bossed portrait as cover medallion,
from the pen of the same artist. Finally
the price is S1.O0 net, a very radical step
in the world of novel publishing. The
book is better made and lower priced
than anything put on the market of

At last 1.-The Crossing" by Winston
Churchill, is out. For nearly half
year now the publishers have prepared
and promised but the author has de-
layed. 1t has come, however, and with
it the hope that the book public may be
stimulated to a more intense desire for
reading than has marked recent months.
Without a reading there are few good
things to be said of Mr.. Churchills
latest book. There is no padding, in
fact, there is a most complete value for
the regular price. Almost 600 pages,
closely but lightly set, and besides the
colored illustrations are as numerous as
those usually put in the much padded
short stories with which the publishers
have flooded the market.

busy. Retail trade has improved much
over the amount done last month. Col
lectious are better and among the mer-

buy. In agricultural districts the mer-
chants claim business a little quiet as
the farmers have been busy planting
their crops. The continued light rains
have helped the farmers who are conf
dent that this seasons crops will be the
best they have had for several years.
unless they get a set back later in the
season. OF all the industries in the

for the better in the near future. The

active. New orders are being received
and plants kept busy The mills through
out the State with but few exceptions
