Bemis-Bemis Wedding.

Miss Harriet Louise Bemis of this
town and Merton Bemis of Spring
field. Mass. were married Wednesday
afternoon at 2 clock at the home of
the bride s mother, Mrs. Jennie Be
mis-. at 2 Terrace street, by Rev. Il. Z.
S. Osgood. The house was tastetully
trimmed with laurel and carnations.
The couple entered the parlor where
the ceremony was performed to the
strains of the Bridal chorus from
Lohengrin played bys Miss Miriam
Cbilds. They were preceded by Miss
Charlena Bemis, a sister of the BRIDE,
who bore the two rings for the cere-
mony. As soon as the nuptial knot
was tied a wedding luncheon was
served and the couple left for South
Vernon in an automobile accompanied
nv the evidences of the good will OF
their friends. There they took the
train for Hartford, Conn, where they
will spend 10 days before taking up
their residence in Springfield at 30
Emery street where they will be at
home after July 10. The groom is a
native of Medford, Mass, and is at
employed as motorman by
the Springfield Street Railway com
many. The bride is a native of this
Town and attended the high school for
a time after which she attended the
BRYANT & Stratton Business college IN
Boston where she was graduated. She
has since been employed as a stenog-
rainier at the Brattleboro Machine
works.

THE LENGTH OF TROUT.
How Much a Six-Inch Fish Will Shrink
Out of Water.

Everybody who knows anything about
fishing, or VINO ever heard a fisherman :
story. is aware that the biggest fish al,
ways gets away. Moreover, 1t Is SAID to
be not infrequently the case that the size
of a captured fish is incommensurate with
the captor's representations concerning
it, In such instances, however, the sup
posed tendency is to attribute TO the tinny
prize few inches or few ounces which
do not rightfully belong to it. So famous
fisherman as Grover Cleveland has eN
pressed the opinion that fishermen do not
lie about their catches: and hundreds OF
other fishermen, no doubt stand ready to
indorse that opinion. Meanwhile, there
are always skeptica souls to point the
finger of scorn at the truthful fisherman,
and cast unknd reflections upon his We
racity.
Down in Lowell the other day,
wealthy New Yorker, who has summer
residence in Groton, Mass, was brought
before the police court on charge OF
having had in his possession, last Tues
dav. trout less than six inches in length
The defendant pleaded not guilty and
stated that the fish, when caught, were OF
the length required by law, according to
the measurements of his rule The officer
who arrested him testified that the fish
we're a fraction of an inch short of the
prescribed six. A discussion then arose
as to whether or not they could have
shrunk so much after being taken from
the water. The defendant contended that
they could, while the arresting officer
supported the negative side of the ques'
ton.
The court was not disposed to decide
the matter on the merits of the debate.
so a court oficer-an expert fisherman, by
the way-was called in. He testified that
he had known fish to shrink half-inch,
and he did not hesitate to take sides with
his brother fisherman. This went far to
ward satisfying the court, who, however,
The Brattleboro reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1907-1912, 1907-06-07

insisted on obtaining a physiological rea'
son for the shrinkage; whepupon a ply
stefan was called, who explained that the
tissues of fish contain about so per cent.
of water. and it was quite plausible that
a trout six inches long could shrink frac-
ton of an inch in short time after be-
coming dry. On the combined testimony
for the defense, the respondent was found
not guilty and discharged.
All this goes to prove that FISH which,
when seen, fails by a trihe to measure W
to the stories which have been told about
it, is not to be taken as prima facie evi-
dence that the teller OF the story is fab
ricator and the truth is not in him. Fur
thermore, if a fish six inches long can
shrink tmee-siXtaenths of an inch, what
more reasonable than fish twice as long
could shrink six.sixteenths of an inch
and so on? On the other hand, in view
Of this important discovery, the question
arises a. to how long a fish must be when
taken from the water, in order that it
may meet the legal requirements a few
hours later.-Nancheste IN. H. Union

The Best Fertilizer for
Seeding Down

Farmers who are looking for first
class fertilizer for seeding down in
the summer or fall will find it in the
following formula. This formula was
| devised by the director of the Vermont
Experiment station at Burlington and
published in Bulletin No. 116 of the
station. The amounts named are for
one acre:
Raw Ground Bone, 800 to 400 lbs.
Acid Phosphate, 100 to $50 lbs.
Wood Ashes, 800 to 400 lbs.
Muriate of Potash, 80 to 70 lbs.
The ingredients of this mixture are
all recognized as valuable fertilizing
agents but with the exception of ashes
they heretofore have been difficult to
obtain in the markets of Vermont.
This condition is now changed and all
the materials of the formula-except
the ashes, which the farmer can usual
ly furnish hiplself-can be purchased
of Carroll S. Page, Hyde Park, VT,
who will be pleased to make quotations
on application.
The muriate of potash and acid phos-
plate he sells are the purest that can
be bought and his raw ground bone is
guaranteed to be absolutely pure and
the best the market affords. The bone
which he offers is simply the finer par
ticles that are sifted out of the eoarser
graduated bone that goes into the
manufacture of his Pages Perfected
Poultry Food. 1t should not be con-
founded with the bone ordinarily of
fered by the trade as that has usually

vii be usually found that practically
all the nitrogenous elements have been
removed to make glue, thus taking
away the most valuable part of the

matter of summer or fall seeding or
