The SeedIess Apple.

The Ontario Fruit Growers asso-
citation is reported to have passed on
the Spencer seedlees apple to the fol-
lowing effect: They found several
Objectionable features, which appar-
emily contradicted the printed de-
scription of the fruit. The core, they
said, was undoubtedly smaller than
in other apples, but there was still
sufficient to make coripg necessary.
The lack of the calyx tube left an
abnormally large and deep opening
extending down to the core and caus-
ing a loss Of flesh almost equal to
normal core, and sffording as well
refuge for insect pests. This space
also contained a mould-ike accumu-
lation, which was pronounced very
Objectionable. Besides these defects
the committee said the apple contain
ed well-developed seeds, though less
numerous than in the normal apple.
In size the seedless fruit was about
equals to the Fameuse or the Snow,
and the flavor compared with the
Ben Davis. Their inspection, in the
opinion of the committee, warranted
them in advising that the trees pro-
ducing this fruit should be purchased
only as curiosity and Far
mer.

1t Pays to Use Fertilizing Salt.

Those who have used Salt on light,
sandy or worn ont soils are almost
unanimous In the opinion that it is
the cheapest and best fertilizer that
they can use on this kind of land, es-
pecially for oats. The application OF
from 600 lbs. TO 1000 lbs. per acre is
said to more than double the crop.
Salt is also excellent as weed killer.
The Vermont Experiment Station
especially re oommends it for killing
Paint Brush on grass land. @. S.
Page, Hyde Park, Vt, sells a very
desirable Salt for fertiIizing purposes,
put up in cheap 100pound sacks, for
the very low price of So so per ton,
free on board cars at Hyde Park.
This price is considerably less than
that for which ordinary Salt can be
bought and this Salt contains con-
siderable matter that adds to its fer
tilizing value. The freight rates to
| points between Lunenhurg and Swan
| ton and Newport and White River
J Junction are very low on this ma
terial, especially in II ton lots. Write
for full particulars.

REGARDING LOCAL SH0RTHORN
HERDS.

Throughout New England there ap-
pears to be more and more interest
displayed by farmers in the type of
cattle known as dual purpose. The
great call for milk and its products
and at the same time the increasing
demand for beef, coming at a time
when the hired help problem is most
pressing, has convinced many farm
ers that an animal producing profit
ably in both beef and milk lines fills
better their needs than any OF the
special purpose bred animals. Such
dual producing animal Is found In
the dairy bred Shorthorn and it will
be of general interest to Orleans
county farmers to learn that there is
such a herd in this section, F. 4.
Simpson and F. s. Phillips having
established a herd of dairy Short
horns at Pine Shade Farm, Glover.
Mr.. Phillips has bred Jerseys for
many years but tests made OF his
Shorthorn COWS this year have con-
vinced him of the superiority of his
present herd in the dairy line alone.
The two years old heifer, Lady Ruth,
M ade 3O1 pounds of butter between
February % and November 10, 1905.
! She bids fair to make 500 pounds of
butter per year at maturity besides
breeding a $75 calf. Another two
years old heifer, Lady Marion, made
296 pounds of butter with first calf.
Pride of Lyndon Sd is remarkably
smooth made COW, giving 30 pounds
of milk daily and having made Ii
pounds of butter in one week
Minerva 7th is very large COW
weighing close to a ton if heavily
fleshed. She has given AZ pounds Of
milk a day on pasture feed alone
Her calf was recently sold when only
few weeks old for $75. Minerva
9Th is another heifer of great promise
Several weekly tests have been made
from time to time, ranging between
~ pounds and II pounds, six ounce
of butter per week. Like nearly al
other records the tests were figured
80 per cent butter fat and were mad,
with ordinary farmers feed and care
All of these cows have good udder
and teats. They are easy and per
sistent mixers.
1t must be remembered that thes
COWS are dual purpose Shorthorn
and are decidedly different from til
special purpose beef Shorthorns see
annually at our local fairs.
The calves are never allowed t
suck but are raised on skim mil
and sell readily at prices rangin
from $50 to 500. Last year the aver
age was $40 and no calf was kel
, until it was five months old. For
!. herd bull they have selected the 15t
Il Duke of Lyndon, whose dam teste

We keep a can of vaseline in the
stable all the time, using it freely
upon the teats. l am sure many
cows with tender teats will make an
increased flow if the teats and under
side of the udder are frequently soft
ened with vaseline. Cows that are
uneasy during milking will usually
stand quiet under this treatment. Do
not buy it, however, in small cans, or
the loss will Offset the gain.-Ex.

Randall, D. D., of Chicago, secretary
of the General Conference Epworth
League, in Pythian hall. This Was a
pleasant social feature of the confer
ence.
Thursday forenoon the annual re-
ports of Rev. w. M. Newton, presid-
ing elder of the Montpelier district
and the report of Rev. G. W. Hunt
presiding elder of the st. Adams dis
trict, were given. Both reports were
encouraging and showed the work tc
J be gaining ground. Very little church
debt was reported from either distric
and many repairs have been made
In an address before the conference
G. J. Ferguson asked for re- sub
mission of the license question to the
. people. The address abounded il
statistics of the convincing kind as t.
the increase of drunkenness in licens'
towns in Vermont under the presen
1 law. He said: "Who is satisfied wit
j an average increase of drunkenness
of 339 per cent in a license town
). Does such a record support the con
s tention that the law works we'll? d.
the people really assent to the state

the old General w. C. Whitthorne

and a handsome new home has been

the place of the house destroyed by
fire about one year since Mr.. Whit
thorne will remain in possession of the
place till this fall, when Mr. Fly will
move in and make that his home. Mr.

ENDURANCE,

Contributed by Rev. ], w. Cherry
eff thou faint in the day of adversely
thy strength is small "--Proyerbs 24-10.
Life is a battle between opposing
and enduring forces. Into this con-
fict we are thrust as we become
parts of the human race and as the
duties and burdens grow and in
crease The most noble men and wo-
men are those who feel most deeply
the burdens that Cypress humanity
and who strive most earnestly to
make the world better and happier
To the warfare against evil we are
called and there is no discharge in
this war as long as the earthly life
of the individual lasts.
1t is useless for any man to seek
for a place where he will be free from
the struggle and the conflict. In
desert or in any cloister or retreat
the opposing forces will meet and
contend in his breast.
Those who go out to war do not ex-
pect to have things always their way.
Trouble, misfortune, distress and suf-
fering are expected and inevitable.

Mr.. Bryan, in the Commoner, has
this to say of distinguished Tonnes
sean:
Senator Carmack, whose term of
service as a Senator of the United
States ended March 4, conferred dis
tinct favor upon the people, and re-
fieoted credit upon himself and his
state by celebrating the close of his
official life with a defeat of the ship
subsidy bill. OF course, the people
who hope to profit at public expense
blythe enactment into law of the pro
posed bill will be olud in their de-
nunciation of the methods adopted to
defeat the measure. That is to be ex-
pected But the people who will prof
It by Senator Carmack's good work
will remember him with gratitude. 1t
was distinct service to the people,
and Senator Carmack Is entitled to
their thanks.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1907-03-22

is the charge which Senator Carmack
has made, and he has asserted his
readiness to lay the facts before a
committee of the Legislature If an
investigation is thought proper But
no investigation has been demanded,
and no demand has been made on Mr..
Carmack for names and specific facts,
and, mark the prediction, no serious
demand will be made; the very last
thing Mr.. Patterson and his organ
would think Of doing, would be to de-
mand of Mr. Carmack to make good
the charges of buying and swapping
and trading which he and others have
made against the advocates of this
Memphis ripper bill, and which the
general public already believe to be
true.

they must not accept the consolation
of God in large measure But thes,
should remember that while Goo
bears the guilt of our sins He atone'
also for their consequences.
Christ came to reconcile man tc
his memory as we'll as to his con
science.
The Christian is not to be a stole
Stoicism is soul paralysis 1t is un-
wise to shut our eyes to hideous
facts of life or to seek to conceal
the fact that many things are evil and
terrible in their results. The stole
is not lovable character, nor can
we expect him to do much to redeem
humanity. But there is a great differ
ence between seeking to paralyZe
the soul, and seeking to find grace and
strength to sustain it, And this help
may be found The Christian man
in the widest storm may read his
Bible by the lightning flashes and
sing praises to God amid the resound-
ing thunders.
The author of this proverb tells us
why men faint 1t is for the want of
strength. IF thou faint in the day
of adversely thy strength is small
The inference is that all the man
needs is an increase of strength,
which he may find. God has not plac-
ed us on this battlefield of earth and
left us where we could not stand |
When anything comes to a man that |
S hard and terrible, the very fact that |
t has come is proof that he may find
strength to endure. 1t is not the will

All the towns and cities in Tonnes
see, except Nashville, Chattanooga
and Memphis, have declared against
the saloon; and it is generally admit
ted that Nashville and Chattanooga
would "go dry if the people were
given a chance to vote. Now then,
why not give the people of the State
what they want; why not abolish sa-
looms in Tennessee? Would it be ''go-
ing too FAST" would it be going too
far?" Is it going too fast" or go
ing too far" to give the people what
they want? Saloons having been wip-
ed ont of SO of the SO counties of the
State, why containue them in the re-
naming three counties? Why con-
tinue Nashville, Chattanooga and
Memphis as distributing centers for
the jug trade?
