To any Farmer who Will write us,
mentioning this paper, we will send
free postpaid, several formulas for
making a first class fertilizer at

ingredients, directions for mixing,
etc.
The Vermont Experiment Station

lowing to say with reference to the
value Of home mixed fertilizers as
compared with the ordinary COM
mercial brands: 'NOn every account,
however, financial, educational, agri-
cultural, it is better to buy the crude
stock and home-mix if one uses a
TON or more
All up-to date farmers should be
interested in the subject of home

Labor Dispute at Hardwick Settled

The labor deadlock in the granite
industry at Hardwick, which had
continued since March l, was end
ed April 8 when the workman re-
turned to their employment, new
schedule of prices having been
signed.
A proposition was presented to
the men which was agreed to and
signed by committees representing
both employers and employees.
Under this agreement, which is to
continue for four years, monu

granite films in Hardwick employ

The only unsettled dispute in the
granite industry is at Milport,

handing a wage of 43 cents an
hour.

flames leaped fifteen feet in the air
and threatened the building in
which he, his wife and three little
children had been sleeping.
AS there was no water handy, he
sacrificed his wine. 1t quenched
the fire as effectively as water could
have done.

Cured on the st. Johnsbury and

Wednesday morning, when the
westbound passenger train jumped

wick, was instantly killed and fifteen
others more or less severely injured.

Things are tolerably quiet at the
White House, on the surface at least,
but there is the turmoil of prepare
ton underneath. Close friends of
the Presidant are convinced that he
did the wisest thing in springing
the announcement of the railroad
road conspiracy when he did. It
now appears that the story had been
known at the White House since
just about the end of the session of
Congress, but the President thought
it as we'll to save it for ammunition
figuring we'll that it would be need
ed. Sure enough, the occasion
came, and as soon as Mr.. Harri-
mans letter was sprung, the brakes
were taken off at the White House
and the story was allowed to get out
The President is getting steadily
more unpopular with certain ele-
ment In his own party, but he holds
that he is on the right track and
that the majority of the American
people are with him in the campaign
of honesty and publicity in corporate
affairs that he has mapped out He
has told friends who have talked to
him that he does not wish to dictate
the nomination of any particular
man at the next Republican Con
vention, but he has in mind a num-
Der of possible candidates who while
they pose as "almost' agreeing with
him, are at heart deadly opposed to
a continuation of what has come to
be known as "the Roosevelt policy"
Any of these men would be willing
tools in the hands of the corpora

ton that the President is now aim
ing much more than to secure Taft
or any other particular man to make
the running for the party in the next
election.

cause the execution of Mary Rogers

if this kind of execution of the law
does not have the least determent,
then we stand convinced. The bus

The last legislature passed an in =
portant act in establishing at tie
Vermont Agricultural Experiment
Station a State Nursery for grow
ing forest tree seedlings. The law
specifies that these are to be fur

State. The significance of this act
becomes evident when one consid ers
that at least two thirds of Vermont's
area is foreordained to grow trees
and realizes that at present prices
tree culture will bring a larger re-
turn for the investment than any
other crop. A crop of second
growth Vermont pine cut last yeal
