The Best Fertilizer for Seeding Down

Farmers who are looking for first
class fertilizer for seeding down in the
Simmer or Fall will find it in the fol-
lowing formula. This formula was de-
vised by the Director of the Vermont
Experiment Station at Burlington and
published in the Bulletin No. ll6 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, 300 to 400 lbs.
Murate of Potash, so to 20 lbs.
The ingredients of this mixture are al
recognized as valuable fertilizing agents
but with the exception of Ashes the,
heretofore have been difficult to obtai,
in the markets of Vermont. This condi
ton is now changed and all the materi.
ais of the formula-except the Ashes
which the farmer can usually furnish
hlmself-can be purchased of Carroll $.
Page, Hyde Park, VT, who will b,
pleased to make quotations on applica
ton.
The Muriate of Potash and Acid PhCs.
phate 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 coarser
Granulated Bone that goes into the
manufacture of his Pages Perfected

founded with the Bone ordinarily Offered.

most valuable part of the bore. If yol

purpose, write him for information and

C0MPANY'S SERVICE BETTER.
Instructive Comparison of Chattanoo-
gas Waterworks With AtIanta's,

Nc . VvdACI WINS WIN Atldnxd ..
A very interesting comparison of the
municipal waterworks of Atlanta, Ga,
and the private waterworks of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn. appeared in recent Is
sue of the Chattanooga News.
AS the two cities are approximately
the same size, the comparison is a very
fair one. During 1906 the city of At.
lanta was charged $171,74O for the wa
ter supplied for city purposes ny
drants, flushing the sewers, public
buildings etc. After deducting the city
taxes paid by the Chattanooga Water
company the cost to the city of Chatta-
nooga for all public uses was $3,730.
Moreover, the Chattanooga Water CON-
pany paid $9,793 In state and county
taxes, which Of course reduced by so
much the amount Of state and county
taxes paid by the taxpayers of Chatta-
nOoga. 1t is therefore fair to say that
the city Of Chattanooga got its public
supply for nothing and received a bo-
nus from the company of $G,O63, max
Ing a difference in favor of private
service or $l77, SOB.
While the rates to private consumers
In Atlanta are apparently less than
those in Chattanooga, a careful analy-
sis of the different rates shows that
they are practically the same On the
other hand, all water served in Chatta-
nooga is filtered, while the Atlanta
plant Is so inadequate that on several
occasions, recently unfiltered water has
had to be pumped into the city mains.

1OENR|CH FARM LAND
Planting Of Forage Crops Advised
by Government Expert.
SEEDS GIVEN AWAY FOR TESTS
Harry N. vinall Says English Blue
Grass Will Prove Beneficial to Farm
ers For Many RsasOns-Essy to Plant
and Maintain.

To encourage an improvement In the
forage crops in the middle western
states is one Of the features OF the
work undertaken by the bureau or
plant Industry. now the strongest In
the United States department OF ag-
riculture. says the Kansas City star.
Harry y. Vinall OF Washington,
an agent Of the bureau of plant indus
try. W no has been a guest nj the Savoy
hotel in Kansas City, is making expert
ments In Arkansas, Missouri. Kansas
and Iowa 10 introduce better forage
crops among the farmers.
The government Is now encouraging
the farmers TO plant English blue grass
or meadow fescue." as II Is called. Ii
Is much stronger and coarser than the
Kentucky blue grass. Ii is now grown
I'm Johnson county, Kan, more eNten-
sively than In any other section of the
United States, and this county is the
headquarters from which the industry
is encouraged 1t is there that the
seeds are produced which are used by
this government. The grass Is har-
vested like grain and thrashed in an
ordinary thrashing machine. 1t is OF
perennial growth.
"The bureau OF plant industry has
been cooperating with few farmers
In various sections of the country by
giving them enough seeds to SOW an
acre of ground in the new forage
crops" Mr. Vinall said recently. Mr..
Vinall is a graduate Of the Kansas Ag-
ricultural college. 1.-The English blue
grass, alfalfa, clover, timothy, redtop
and other forage crops are being in
troduced all over the country. The old
method Of planting the same crop of
corn or wheat or oats on a piece Of
ground every year robs the soif of its
fertility, and farming becomes less
profitable. The object Of these expert
duce more modern methods Of farming
to preserve the fertility Of the soil.
"The old method is to plant crop
of corn on piece Of land where corn
has been grown for years. When the
corn is gathered In the fall, the cows
are turned in and eat down the little
forage left on the stalks. The land is
idle until another crop Of corn is plant
ed. That kind of farming doesn't pay.
The land needs rest from the same
old crop. These forage crops of clo-
yer, alfalfa, redtop and timothy and
other things should be introduced as a
fertilizer as well as for profit. There
is money in forage crops If farm
err once understands how to keep his
land busy all the time without impair
ing its fertility, he has discovered the
secret Of profitable farming. This is
what the government is trying to
teach.'
The government gives information
on application about these various
crops, but it does not give away seed
except when it chooses to make expert
mentS.

have vanished. Should United States
troops ever be called upon to take the
field In Cuba they will begin the cam
palgn with the advantage of perfect
familiarity with the topography OF the
whole island.
The army Of Cuban pacification,
which originally numbered $500 men
Of all arms. without including marines,
has now dwindled by the natural
process Of discharges on expiration Of
enlistments to about $500 men. There
are also under General Barry's COM
mand about 1000 marines. Nearly
1900 troops are quartered In Camp Co
lumbia, the garrison Of Havana, and
the remainder are scattered over the
island in thirty posts.
At Camp Columbia the men are en-.

quarters have been established at Ma

made compulsory. The sick list aver.
ages only per cent, and the hospitals

STUDYING STEEL RAILS.
Railroad Companies Keeping Tabs on
All Kinds of Breakages.

All Kinds of Breakages.
A number of the leading railroads Of
the United States, 1t was learned re-
Gently, are keeping records of all rail
breakages, including full descriptions
of the conditions under which the
breaks occurred, says the New York
Tribune. The purpose of these records
Is said to be to furnish data from
which the specifications for next years
rails can be made up.
A high official in the engineering de-
partment of one of the large eastern
railroad systems In speaking of the
changes that must be made to guard
against rail breakage said
Railroad men are pretty well agreed
that some changes must be made in
the specifications for rails which shall
guard against the great number Of
breakages we have had in recent years,
but the problem is very difficult one,
and do not know that any railroad
has decided what shall be done. Our
company, at least, has not. We are
not making any tests. but we are study
ing carefully actual cases that arise in
the everyday service.
"Steel men have suggested that
much heavier rail be used, and in fact
one steel company has asked us to let
1t roll some 105 pound rails for next
year, but so far we have not consented.
| think that the change to an open
hearth rail will be great improve
ment, but it may not entirely solve the
problem. To produce rail of differ
ent composition may necessitate the
use Of different ores and other ingredi
ents, while changes in the method of
treatment will call for radical changes
In plants and machinery, so that it Is
not a matter to be decided offhand. I
think II will be some time before the
railroads and steel companies agree
upon the best specifications"
Some Of the railroad companies have
declared that the adoption Of heavier
rail is not tile best solution of the
problem. for the reason that EXPERT
ence has shown that some of the old
eighty and eighty-five pound rails stand
the heavy traffic Of the present day
better than the more recent ninety and
II hundred pound rails.

Twelve Years la Enouoh

The Harvard Ql) municipal electr,o
nsnt plant which has been in opera
uon since 1895, has been sold to y
private company for SLABS on a forty
year franchise. The following explana-
tlon OF this action was given by a
prominent CITIZEN: 1.-THE reason for sell
ing was that the plant had deteriorat-
eel. The service had been very bad
una the people were not disposed to
put money into a new outfit Recent
administrations let the plant run down
ana the Joyce & Condor offer seemed
70 be a chance for relief, and it was
taken"
