Feeding Green Cut Bone Paws.

Mr.. A. F. Hunter who is Que OF the
regular contributors to the New England
Farmer, not long ago said i'll the
columns of that paper Feeding fresh
cut bone to fowls, to induce abundant
laying, has proved a decidedly profitable
thing. The bones are rich in animal
matter. and contain lime of which egg
shells are made, and hens fed on fresh
cut bone will lay larger number OF
eggs than if fed no bone. Not only will
they lay larger number of eggs, but
the eggs will be stronger-bodied, will be
better eggs, and if incubated will have
better and stronger chicks"
c. S. Page of Hyde Park, Vt, on
receipt of $3.50 will forward to anyone
a 200 pound barrel of Green Cut Bone,
preparing railroad freight to any sta
ton in New England or New York.

Insurance Companies where their money
is deposited as protection to their
heirs.
The organization may be very simple.

quarters in Burlington; that it appoint
one or more men, not exceeding three,

insurance companies and represent the
body of Vermont policy holders at the
elections--in the examination of &C.
counts, the regulation OF expenses aud
the election of board of honest and
active trustees. II at the same time
other states should send representatives
--as they undoubtedly Wilt will only
be short time before the policy holders
OF the country will take complete con troll

their own interest.
The man or men chosen to take the
proxies to the meeting and vote upon
them could be elected by the direct vote
of the policy holders by mail or in
person or by committee of one from

The organization machinery need not
be elaborate, just Il mutual society to
