Marshall Wilder tells of an elderly
lady in Cohoes, who, besides her deaf
ness, experienced much trouble with
false teeth. Consequently she was
disposed to regard this world as a
vale of tears. A neighbor, passing her
house one day, beheld the lady sitting
at the window, wearing an expression
Of more than usual gloom. Thinking to
cheer the unfortunate one, the good
hearted neighbor screamed at the top
of her voice:
Good morning, Mrs. Blank. Fine
weather we're having"
"Yes," replied the elderly lady, "but
I can't eat with 'em yit."

1t Pays to Use Fertilizing Salt

Those who have used Salt on light,
sandy or worn out 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-
peciallv for oats. The application of
from 900 lbs. to 1000 lbs. per acre is
said to more than double the crop.
Salt ia also excellent as a weed killer.
The Vermont Experiment Station
especially re ,ommends it for killing
Paint Brush on grass land. @. s.
Page, Hyde Park, Vt, sells very
desirable Salt for fertiliz;ng purposes,
put up in cheap 1oO-pound sacks, for
the very low price of So so per ton,
free on board cars at Hyde Park
This price ia 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 Lunenburg and Swan
ton and Newport and White River
junction are very low on this ma
terial, especially 10 - ton lots. Write

are abiding but a little deficient
in public spirit and only find some
thing TO talk about and laugh over in
the antics of drunken man. They
are content with themselves and
careless about the reputation of their
neighborhood or town.
Mr.. Crozier concentrates his whole
battery against saloons, but / think it
safe to say that not one-tenth part of
the liquor drunk in Vermont is OBJ
tanned in saloons. Saloon keepers as
a rule are cautious about selling
man sufficient quantity to have BIN
drunk on their premises. The state
iegalizes their selling if they comply
with the terms of their license, but
pocket peddlers are without any
right to sell and are violating the law
every time they furnish a drink to
any person. Which would appear to
be the easier to suppress, traffic
legalized by statute law, or one that
violates the law in every instance?
If the w-abiding citizens and various
temperance unions would make an
honest effort to suppress the bringing
into the state by express companies
and the selling Cor giving away by
pocket peddlers of intoxicating
liquors, nine-tenths IF the present
drunkenness, debauchery, rioting and
imperilling Of lives and health would
be done away with. The wives and
children of drunken husbands would
have better bones, more and better
food and clothing, less fear of brutal
treatment when the husband and
father came home, better wages and
steadier employment for him, and
greater self-respect and determine
! ton to redeem his character and win
the respect of his neighbors and
| fellow citizens.
Get busy, We temperance people,
both in and out of the unions. Work,
work, work, prosecute every known
violation of the law by the express
companies, keep continually after
pocket peddlers who supply the citi-
zens of your town, who have their
pockets full of bottles at your county
fairs, races, conventions, Fourth of
July celebrations, circuses and at
every time and place where there is a
large gathering of people, and lacking
these, chums and neighbors are
supplied.
But, the question will be asked,
how is it to be accomplished? And
my reply is: Make a beginning by
electipg officers who are in favor of
enforcing the laws. If necessary
exact pledge from candidates before
election that they will use their best
efforts to carry out the law as written
in our statute books, and hold them
to their pledge. We have all the
laws needed for the suppression OF
illegal liquor selling. A majority OF
the voting population are law abiding
and there will be no difficulty in
electing officers who favor existing
laws if there is an organization with
a capable head and management
But there will have to be thorough.
ness, and vigilant work carried on
then the thing is accomplished.

THE VALUE OF SALT

THERE ARE FEW of the hill farms of Vermont which
do not have more or less light sandy soil which,
through continued cropping, has practically OUT

into high state OF cultivation by the of expensive
commercial fertilizers.
1t generally conceded that such soils Salt, by

an oat crop on such soils is than doubled by the

those who wish TO raise this crop
We are selling our Fertilizng Salt this year for the
very low price OF So so per On free board cars at
