The hest Fertilizer for Seeding Down

|
Farmers who are loking for first
class fertilizer for seeding down In the
Summer or Fall will find it in the fol-
lowing formula This formula was de-
| vised by the Director of the Vermont
Experiment Station at Burlington and
published In Bulletin No. l1s OF the sta
ton. The amounts named are for one
acre.
Raw Ground Bone. 500 to 400 lbs.
Acid Phosphate, 100 to $50 lbs
| Wood Ashes. 300 to 400 lbs
Muriate Of Potash, 20 to 70 lbs
The ingredients OF this mixture are all
recognized as valuable fertilizing agents
but with the exception of the Ashes they
| heretofore have been difficult to obtain
| in the markets OF Vermont. This condi-
ton is now changed and all the materi-
! ais Of the formula-except the Ashes
which the farmer can usually furnish
himself-can be purchased of Carroll g..
Page, Hyde Park. Vt, who will be pleas
ed to make quotations on applications.
The Muriate of Potash and Acid Phos-
phate he sells are the purest that can be
bought and his Raw Ground Bone is
qua ranteed to be absolutely pure and

brute seized her by the hair, and deal

lerwards was seen calmly walking
down the road. There was nothing
about his demeanor to attract more
than passing notice. He went through
the town toward Aledo, and when last

The town was horriaed when the
news became known, and the men
hastily organized themselves into a
posse and started on the trail of the
murderer. No trace could be found Of
him. The party Is still searching, and
