Free to Farmers.

In Bulletin No. 116, recently issued
by the Vermont Agricultural Expert
ment Station, Formula No. /, COM
mends the following ingredients for
fall seeding, without manure. The
amounts named are for one acre:
Raw Ground Bone $3.50. 800 to 400 lbs.
Acid Phosphate 100 to 100 lbs.
Wood Ashes ..... 800 to 400 lbs.
Muriate of Potash 80. so to 20 lbs.
To any Farmer writing to C. S.
Page, Hyde Park, VT, saying that he
saw this notice in the Reformer, Mr..
Page will send a free sample of the
above ingredients, excepting the ashes,
and give the cost thereof laid down at
the Farmers nearest station.
The Experiment Station Bulletin
well says: ION every account, finan-
cial, educational, agricultural, it is
better to buy the crude stock and

an absolutely pure, natural Bone
Meal No valuable ingredients have
been taken therefrom as is the case
with much of the Bone Meal now be-
ing offered to the public.
Nearly all the large fertilizer manu-
facturers make bone glue by boiling
their bones and extracting the gluten
therefrom. Mr.. Pages Bone Meal is
a by-product from the manufacture of
Pages Perfected Poultry Food, and is
the bone flour sifted out from the
graduated bone, which forms one of
the principal ingredients of this Poul-
try Food. 1t is this fact that enables
Mr.. Page to furnish a pure Bone Meal
at so low a price. Save your ashes
and mix with this Bone Meal and you
will find it worth double the cost

had an existence only on paper. The

brought against Prayan and the suit
has just been settled by the real es-

here a year ago have been spared and are
here again today. 1t is perhaps not gener-
ally known that the hospital cemetery con-
tains the third largest number of soldiers
graves of any of the cemeteries locate
within the District of Columbia. For many
years it was not apprecia ted that SO many
soldiers We're inferred here, and it was only
few years ago that in looking into the
situation the Logan Post of the Grand
Army of the Republic discovered the true
state of affairs and found that we had up
ward OF 2,o,O soldiers graves within our
precincts, making our cemetery as large as
some of the national cemeteries.
'Since that time they have assembled
here each year on Memorial day and held
exercises in honor of the dead. Many Of
the soldiers that are buried here, as per-
haps you know, were buried during the
time of the civil war, when certain build
ings Of this Institution were set aside for
use as a general hospital. and many of the
sick and wounded We're brought here 1t
was al this time, when the buildings of the
institution were serving the double pur-
pose of both a hospital for the insane and
a general hospital, that the name Of st.
Eliza beth was given to the institution, be-
cause the statutory designation OF GOV
eminent Hospital for the Insane" did not
apply to all of its departments, and as you
know. this name has been retained more
or less generally since then. From that
time until the present many hundreds of
soldiers and sailors have been cared for
here, and many Of them are now resting
in our cemetery.
II feel that it is a peculiar privilege that
we all have in being permitted to assem-
BILE on an occasion of this sort to assist in
honoring their memory, and | again well

UNITE IN SERVICES
POST AND CORPS AT GEORGE
TOWN CEMETERIES.

On the green slopes of the hill overlook
ing Georgetown are the graves of naany
union dead within the Enclosure of Holy
Rood cemetery. Today the last resting
places of those who served their country
in the civil war were adorned with the
colors OF the country in whose defense they
had offered up their lives. and were also
decorated with the blooms of the season.
This duty had been performed by the COM
mittee from George W. Morris Post,
No. 10, of the Grand Army of the Repub
lie, and from the Morris Relief Corps Under
the trees gathered a group of Grand Army
men and Others while drawn up In lines
were the boys and girls from the Indus
trial Home School. under the direction of
the superintendent, Mr.. Skinner. The boys
wore a military uniform and presented or
derby ranks under the command of one OF
their own number.
The presence OF the children to witness
the memorial services over the graves of
men whose deeds thus remembered was
to them early history was a striking Illus
tratton of the truth that such deeds live
much beyond the natural period Of the ca
reers of the majority of those who had
taken part in the great war.
Simple Services.
The exercises were of a simple character
but We're not without interest. The assem-
bly, call was sounded by a bugler, and then
Rudolph Cllmer. the chairman of the Nor
ris Post committee, in a few words set
forthforth the meaning and significance of
the occasion Prayer was offered by Rev
Thomas S. Harlin, the pastor of Holy Trim
ity Catholic Church, who selected for the
occasion a prayer for those in authority
written by Bishop Carroll, the first bishop
of that church in this country.
The celebrated Gettysburg address OF
Abraham Lincoln was then given by Mr..
J. Barton Miller, who had committed 1t to
memory and who was able to impart to the
delivery that oratorical effect which seems
the appropriate setting to those noble
words which are likely to live as long as
love of country exists.
The benedicton was then pronounced by
Rev. DR.. Harlin, and with the sounding of
taps the exercises came to an end.
The committees in charge were as fol-
lows:
