COMMANDER OF THE BLACK SEA
FLEET, CHUKNIN, IS SHOT
FROM AMBUSH AND sERI-
OUSLY WOUNDED.

Sevastopol.-An attempt was made
by mutineers Wednesday to assassin
ate Vice Admiral Chuknin, command
er of the Black sea fleet. The admiral
was wounded and taken to a hospital
The would-be assassin is a sailor
who hid in the bushes and shot at the
admiral as he was walking in the
garden of his villa. The culprit has
not been apprehended.
The warships Panteleimon and
Three Saints have joined the garrison
of the Batum fortress, which has been
in mutiny The Three Saints hoisted
the red flag, and the mutineers are
forcibly OBTAINING two other war ves-
sells which had refused to join them.
The Naval Revolt.
On June IS, 1905, the crew of the
Panteleimon, then called the Kniaz
Potemkin, mutinied at Odessa and de-
fed the authorities several weeks
Meantime the city was kept in con-
slant terror by threats from the yes
sci TO lombard the town. The warship
finally did fire on one of the forts, but
it soon after surrendered. On No
vember 26 the vessel, of its name had
been changed to Panteleimon, again
mutinied and was joined by the cruis-
er Otchakof. Nothing serious result
ed, however, and later on the warships
returned to control by the government.
Admiral Blamed for Severity.
Vice Admiral Chullnn has been
blamed for his severity, and it was to
his treatment of the crews of the ships
under his command that the mutiny
on board the battleship Kniaz Potem-
kin, in June and July last year, was
attributed. The admiral displayed
considerable activity in attempting to
capture the mutineers at that time

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Strong growing plants are least at
tackled by insects.
Sunshine and water can produce re-
suits il any soil in which plant food
is found.
II hungry trees could "bawl" as the
calves do, what chorus of howls and
bleats we should heart

the varieties are not written down
now, they will probably be forgotten
a few years hence.
Mulch is the salvation of young
trees set in old moving fields. Fer
tilizer underneath 1t will insure a
rapid grown.
Some cultivated crop may sometimes
be grown to advantage among young
trees. But do not attempt to grow
grain or grass crops there.
Don't let anybody interfere with the
birds nests if you can help it. II all
goes we'll, each one will soon be filled
with four or five hungry mouths, down
which the parent bird will store away
lots of the injurious insects from the
farm.-Farm Journal
Every disease of plants is caused by
minute fungi called bacteria Some
people add, careless treatment and
bad weather." but the latter causes
cannot be classed as disease. Strong
plants, well taken care of and sup
piled plant food in abundance have a
good deal OF power to throw off dis
ease.

THE SIDE GRAFT.
Method Which Is Valuable When
Working with Seedlings Grow
ing in Nursery.

The method of grating shown in
the illustration Is vaaulble when
grating young seedlings growing in
the nursery or greenhouse. A slant
Ing cut Is made just under the bark
on the stock near the ground, and the
scion is prepared much the same as
for cleft-grafting, except that the cut
on what Is to be the outside of the
scion is shorter than the other. It Is
then pushed into the cut ON the stock,
so that the barks will be In contact,
and then wrapped and waxed the same
as the other CRAFTS.
The scions used for CRAFTS of all
kinds should be we'll ripened, healthy
shoots Of the previous years growth.
They should be cut in the fall and
packed In sand or moss until needed.
In the case Of hardy sorts, good re-
suits can generally be secured with
5pring-cut gratis, but it is safer to
cut them in the fall. April and May
are the months for grating.
For covering all cut surfaces made
in grating, wax made of resin,
beeswax, and either tallow or oil
should be used. For use during the
cool days of early spring the follow
Ing formula will give good results:
Resin ................, parts
DctS"dA ....-.......-...........Z parts
IalloW ........................l part
All parts by weight. Oil, three
fourths part, may be used instead of
tallow. Melt together and when well

Kerosene Emulsion,

Kerosene, two PARTS; sour milk, one
part; churn together. Or, kerosene,
one gallon; soap, a quarter of a
pound; hot water, half a gallon;
churn together into a cream. To one
gallon of either Of these add ten gal
Ions Of water for spraying on tough
foliage or plants, or Is gallons of
water for more tender varieties. You
can buy the emulsion at the seed
stores already prepared, If you pre-
fer. This will kill most soft-bodied
insects, including the different varie-
ties of scale lice, plant lice, etc, but
unless carefully made 1t may burn the

More Paupers in America.

ington.-According to a report
issued by the census bureau there
We're in the United States in 1904
163,176 persons in almshouses and of
these Hills We're males.
Although the number of almshouse
paupers is increasing the increase has
not kept pace with the growth of
population, and consequently the ratio
of almshouse paupers to population is
decreasing. In 1880 it was 1872 per
100000 of population; it decreased to
III in 1890 and to 101 in 1903

injured and several badly hurt by an
explosion which Friday morning
wrecked a shanty in the Mclaughlin
stone quarries at Bellwood, short

The larger part Of the body of one
of the men killed was taken from d
tree hundred feet from the place
where the shanty had stood. Parts of
the corpse were found lying all around

RUSSIAN REBELS ATTEMPT TO
ASSASSINATE CZAR'S ADMIRAL

and in suppressing the sailors mutiny
at Sebastopol in November last
An attempt was made on the life
of the admiral February 9 last. A
woman appeared at his official resi-
dence during the afternoon of that day
and sent in her card, saying she was
the daughter of a rear-admiral at st.
Petersburg, who was an old acquain-
tance of Chuknin. On entering the
admirais office, the woman drew
rapid-fire pistol and fired four shots
at him without effect AS she turned
to escape the woman was killed by
the orderly on duty at Chuknin's door.
The crime, beyond doubt, was po-
litical.
Was Sentenced to Death.
When the sentences imposed on the
sailors for the kniaz Potemkin mutiny
were before the admiral for review
formal notice was served on him that
If he approved the death sentences he
would share the same fate Chuknin,
however, approved the sentences and
several intimations afterward reached
him to the effect that the terrorists
We're merely waiting FOR a favorable
opportunity to kill him. Some time
elapsed before the police were able
to establish the identity of the wom-
an. who attempted Admiral Chuknin's
life, but it finally became known that
she was a Jewess named Cecilia
Shabad.

Ringing the Pigs.

How old should a pig be before you
ring 1t? 1t should be at least three
months old, but we have often found
1t necessary to ring pigs before they
have attained that age. II the ground
Is wet they do great amount of dam
age before they are that old, and we
sometimes ring them when they are
nine weeks old, but we do not like to
do 1t II we can avoid 1t. The pig de-
rives no benefit from the ringing, and
we take the matter into considsra ton
from a financial standpoint. When
we think the time has arrived that the
pig is doing the ground and itself more
damage by roofing than we can dam
age the pig by ringing it. we pen him
up and ring him. Sometimes 1t Il

to do. says an Ohio Farmer writer.

1t Is better not to have the weight

for returning the hayfork. An extra
rope is attached to the fork at NJ, run
through a pulley at n and out to a

twelve feet Of slack. The hay rope Is
run around a pulley at s, then to T

horse returns for another load the fork
is returned by the horse without any
efforts of the man.

Alfalfa Il "Easy.o

With good seed, a proper seed bed
and land adapted for growing the crop
a careful farmer should be almost as
sure Of establishing a successfully stand
OF alfalfa as the average fapmer ia OF
getting a stand Of wheat or oats. This
may seem Ike a strong statement,
since failure to get good stand of
alfalfa has often been the experience
Of many farmerA especially those who
were inexperienced in growing this
crop. However. It is generally true
that the longer alfalfa Ii raised on any
farm the more readily 1t grows and the
easier It becomes for the farmap to
start the crop.-Ten Byck-

With the present outlook for good
prices for pork, the producers can care
for and feed the pigs with the assur'
ance that they will be well repaid
The large supply of old corn available
to feed in connection with pastures
makes the opportunity to secure a good
profit on the pigs that are on hand an
ideal one. Grain, house slops, skim
milk or whey. fed while the pigs get a
good supply Of grass and some exercise
in the open field, will make pork cheap
ly and of the best quality.
At present the system Of pork pro
duction is a well defined one and gen
orally understood. Instead of keeping
pigs until they are from a year to one
and a half and two years old before
begin to crowd them and fatten fol
market, l begin while the pigs are yet
young and crowd them along to 8
weight that the market demands. But
few are kept on the farm until they are
more than ten months old. now have
two crops Of pigs. one In the fall and
the other during the spring, says a cor
respondent Of American Agriculturist.

DENATURED ALCOHOL.
Conditions Under which 1t Is to BE
Manufactured.

Jan. 1, 1907, the new free alcohol"
now interested in it's probable outcome.
1t Is well, In the first place, to under.
stand Just what the main feature Of
the law Is. According to its wording,
domestic alcohol may be withdrawn
from bond without payment of inter-
nal revenue tax for use in the arts and
industries and for fuel, light and power,
provided said alcohol shall have been
mixed in the presence and under the
direction of an authorized government
officer, after withdrawal from the dis
tillery warehouse, with methyl alcohol
or other denaturing material suitable
to the use for which the alcohol Is
withdrawn, but which destroys its
character as beverage and renders it
unfit for liquid medicinal purposes,
such denaturing to be done upon the
application of any registered distillery
in denaturing bonded warehouses spe-
cially designated or set apart for de-
maturing purposes only and under con-
ditions prescribed by the commissioner
Of internal revenue" Other details are
also left to the commissioner of inter-
nal revenue.
1t ls apparent that much Of the work
ing out Of the new law depends upon
the commissioner of internal revenue,
who, with the approval Of the secretary
Of the treasury. must prescribe the
regulations under which the manufac-
ture and sale of denatured alcohol may
be carried on. This official, Mr.. Yerkes,
Is said to have already gone to Ger
many, where denatured alcohol has
been for some time in use, to study the
system under which it is made and sold
and its various uses.

opened its doors for business January a. 1885, from
which time its deposits have steadily increased until
they amount to than Seven Hundred Thous-
and Dollars evdencng the strong and abiding faith that
the public have ever had in this institution.
1t is with excusable pride that the management points
to the fact that Notwithstanding monetary strngencies
and panics, there has been six months period
since the organization OF the Bank that did not show an
increase in the deposits
AS is well known, exGov Page, the President of the
Bank has always been strong believer in the idea that
Vermont money ought to be kept in Vermont to foster
Vermont enterprises and to build up Vermont industries
He has acted upon the principle that it is not only for
the good of Vermont but for the safety of the Bank to
do this because the security for home loans can always
be carefully examined and considered by the Directors
of the Bank The result of this line of conduct on the
part of this Bank that holds the unique record
of having lost dollar by poor note nor does it
now hold so far known single dollar of poor or
doubtful paper.
This Bank pays 1-a per cent. interest compounded
sem-annualy and solcits deposits from all who regard
safety of principal rather than high rates of interest as
the first prerequisite in the proper conduct of Savings
Institutions and who believe that is not only safer but
wtha better for the deposor that his money be invested
at home where it will help the in which he is
primarily interested
Deposits may be made any time but if made before
August 5th they will draw interest from July 1st
