The Best Fertilizer for Seeding Down.

Farmers who are looking for a 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. ll6 of the station. The
amounts named are for one acre:
Raw ground bone, 300 to 400 lbs.
Acid phosphate, 100 to $50 lbs.
Wood ashes 800 to 400 lbs.
Nitrate of potash, so 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 condi-
ton is now changed and all the materials
which the farmer can usually furnish
himself-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-
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
ucles that are sifted out of the coarser
graduated bone that goes into the
manufacture of his Pages Perfected
Poultry Food. 1t should not be con-
founded with the bone ordinarily offered
by the trade as that has usually been
steamed or treated with acids It will
be usually found that practically all the
heterogeneous elements have been removed
to make glue thus taking away the
most valuable part of the bone If YOU
are interested i'm the matter of summer
or fan seeding or of fertilizers for anv
purpose write him for information and
prices mentioning this paper

THE WEDGWOOD WASHINGTON
PORTRAITS

The classic relief on the medal
lion labelled Washington is fur
ther evidence of the extraordinary
demand in England during our
revolution for portraits OF the
great American General. The
model was obtained from q
bronze medal, issuec in 1777, lab
eled Geo. Washingtone General of
the Continental Army in America. -
Contemporary accounts describe 1t
as being struck at the instance
of Voltaire, who supplied the
legend on its reverse: 'NWashin
Reunit Par un Rare Assemblage Les
Talents Duguesier & Les Vertus
Du Sage" Washington combines
by singular union the talents OF
a warrior and the virtues OF q
philosopher.) NO portraits OF
Washington were oDtainable from
which to work. Indeed it was not
until three years later. when Val.
entine Green made his great mez.
zount from Trumbull's portrait
that the true portrait or Washing.
ton was seen by his English ad.
herents. A classic type of face was
selected as emblematic OF the
principles Washington was defend.
ing. Thirteen known varieties In
model, size and color demonstrate
its extraordinary popularity. The
size Of the head varies from three

There Is q deal of whispering
in Washington about the Preciado
case. 1he point of interest consists
in the contradictory positions TAX
en- by the President and the Senate
Department in regards to Browns
Vile Affair in August 1906. Preci-
ado was a citizen OF Mexico living
IN Brownsville, and claiming to
have been wounded in the hand
by soldiers OF the United States in
the riot at Brownsville; and there
iour, demands $4,000 damages
rom our government. The State
department denies that American
soldiers did the injury with the
knowledge or consent of their Of
ficers, or atIer the officers had such
notice Of impending trouble as
to put them on their guard and OBJ
lige them to take precautionary
measures. Preciado replies that
this position Is contrary to the de-
clarations of the President of the
Unite States, and the testimony
on the subject. In other words
Preciado takes the Roosevelt view
of the riot Whila tho Cfata na-
partment insists on the Foraker
view. II is pretty case.

CHRISTMAS IN THE ARCTIC.

CHRISTMAS IN THE ARCTIC.
Captain b. s., Osbon secretary or
the Arctic Club. and once a petty Of
Ificer under Farragut, writing in Re-
creation for December, tells very
interesting story of a Christmas ne
spent In the Arctic almost sixty
years ago. The crew of the Ice
bound ship gave a theatrical PERFORM
ance. Christmas Eve was the op-
ening night of the theater," says Cap
tain Osbon, "the first one ever known
lin those regions. 1t opened to a
full house, and yet not an advertise
ment had appeared in any paper on
the face of the globe. No flaring
posters had adorned the walls OF the
village on shore, but the villagers
were all there as first nighters.
Promptly at eight O'Clock the or
,chestra---the minstrel band--in lieu OF
an opening overture, gave us a selec-
tion from their repertoire. which was
generously applauded and to the
Itinkling of bell up went the cur
tain. The play was 'Black-eyed
SUSAN adapted from famous old
song of that name, well known TO
all sailors in those times. II was a
play in three acts, interspersed
with some familiar sea ditties of
the day. Susan was the star of the
evening and the young fellow who
took her part played and looked it
to perfection. His makeup was
very clever, considering the material
at his command. The wig had
been made. of fne combed yarns
braided as deftly as any girl could
have done IT.. Susan's cheeks and
lips were very red--from the paint
poland large pendant earrings dan
gled from her ears. Her dress was
faultless in fashion and At, her car
riage graceful and she acted the girl
to the unbounded satisfaction of the
vast assemblage.' The Esquimau
portion of the audience was amazed
at the performance. but Susan was an
even greater puzzle to them. None
of them bad ever seen white wom-
an. 1t was good as a play TO watch
those poor. untutored natives as they
followed the piece with intense won
derment.
