THE BEST FERTILIZER
FOR SEEDING
DOWN.

Farmers who are looking for a
first class fertilizer for seeding in
the Summer or Fall will find it in
following formula. This formula
was devised by the Director of the
Vermont Experiment Station at
Burlington and published in Bulle-
tin No 116 of the station The a
mounts named ale for one acre:
Raw Ground Bone, 300 to 400 lbs.
Acid Phosphate, 100 to $50 lbs.
Wood Ashes, 800 to 400 lbs.
Muriate # Potash, so to 20 lbs.
The Ingredients of this mixture
are all recognized as valuable fert-
LIKING agents but with the exception
of Ashes they heretofore have been
difficult to obtain in the markets of
Vermont. This condition Is BOW
changed and all the materials of
the formula-except the Ashes,
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 Muliate of Potash and Acid
Phosphate he sells are the purcst
that csn be bought and his Raw
Ground Bone is guaranteed to be
absolutely pure and the best the
market affords. The bone which
is simply the finer particles that are

Pegg explained the situation to the
president frankly and little shame
facedly, but the president only
laughed and shook his hand, saying
that he thought good deal more of
him for losing humanely than if he
had killed his pony for the sake of a
bet. This tickled Pegg and he
confded to the crowd afterward
that he thought ''the old man was a

Ambassador Creel, the fabulous
| ly rich ambassador from Mexico,
has just been elected governor of
chihuahua in his own country.
This is a great honor and satisfac-
ton to his numerous friends here
The curious part of it is that he
does not have to give up his diplo-
matte post unless he wants to. His
function can be performed by the
lieutenant governor under the Mex
lean law, and as there are number
of impol tant matters pending touch
ing the relation of Mexico, the
United States and Central Am erica
it is probable that President Diaz
will keep the ambassador in Wash
ington and that he will not return
to Mexico for year at least.
The celebration OF Decoration
Day passed off quietly as usual
The only difference from past years
was in the increasing feeble of
the remaining veterans and the gaps
in their ranks. Most of the old fell
lows made the trip to the National
Cemetery at Arlington in carriages
whereas few years ago they always
marched. The event of the day at
the National cemetery was the ded-
ication of monument by the Army
of the Tennessee to Gen Joseph
Anthony Mower by his friends and
comrades in the Tennessee Associa-
| ton.

Should woman's work for wages
cease with her marriage? Some say
yes and others say no. There is
about the same unanimity of opin-
ion on this question that there is or
the question of license and no-li
cense, divorce or no divorce, etc
The action of the school board OF
Barre city in bouncing all its fe-
male married teachers has prec pi-
tated the discussion. Most of the
papers of the state have had their
say and The Times will add
it's contribution to the symposium
We believe that society ought to be
so organized that no married woman
should feel obliged to leave her
home and work for wages, whether
the work be that of teaching or any
thing else. The man should be the
bread winner and the woman the
home maker. If conditions are such
that the temperate and industrious
man cannot earn sufficient to sup
port his wife and children without
asking his wife to increase her bur
den of housekeeping by adding that
of money getting, there is something
wrong with conditions. The pri-
mary object of marriage is the pro-
pagation and advancement of the
human race. Where the woman is
employed away from her home ali
or most of the time, it means the
childless home or at the best very
limited family. No woman can do

lily consists of husl aud only, ard

Housekeeping is the best program

This sign ought to be posted

Contract to Dam the Connecticut is

At last the hackers of the enter
prise of damming the Connecticut
river at Brattieboro have let the
contract for building the dam. The
engineering work is to be done by
the J. G.. White Company of New
York and the actual construction
will be done by the Loring n. Far
mum Company of Boston.
G.. S. Hewins, engineer for the
Farnum Company, is in town and
expects to move his family here as
soon as possible, to remain until the
dam is finished The force of men
which was put at work last week has
already begun to make a showing.
Many of the farms which will be
spoiled by backing up the water
have been bought by the dam pro
hooters and the timber upon these
will be used as much as possible. 1t
is estimated that more than 1,000,-
900 feet will be consumed in all the
work on the dam.

the concrete work " ill be furnis ed
