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. ZIG Of the station The
amounts named are for one acre:
Raw ground bone, 500 to 400 lbs.
Acid phosphate. 100 to $50 lbs
Wood ashes 500 to 400 lbs
Muriate Of potash, 80 to 10 lbs.
The ingredients Of this mixture are all
recognized as valuable fertili2ing agents
hut with the exception Of ashes they
heretofore have been difficult to obtain
I'm the markets Of Vermont, This condi-
ton is now changed and all the materials
which the farmer can usually furnish
himself-can he 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 he absolutely pure and
the best the market affords The bone
which he offers Is simply the finer par
ticlcs 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. 1t viii
be usually found that practically all the
heterogeneous elements have been removed

most valuable part Of the bone. II you

or fall seeding or of fertilizers for any
purpose write him for information and

Prince in Pajamas.

Passengers on the Overland limit
ed one morning were startled by the
appearance in the dining car of Prince
Mahomed ASakhan Of India wearing a
suit OF pajamas, says the San Fran
cisco Call. The young nobleman had
taken his seat at one of the tables
when his secretary stepped up to him
and whispered several words In his
ear The dining car was well filed
with other passengers, including a
number of women, who were shocked
somewhat by the Princes apparel. AS
gracefully as possible Prince Mahom'
ed accompanied his secretary back
to his stateroom. He was much cha
grined over the situation and express
ed great modification that the Amert
can women could not appreciate that
by right of birth he was entitled to
appear In any garb he chose to wear.

DISLIKE SMELL OF KEROSENE.
Cats Particularly viii Not Stay
Where Oil Is Used.

81 never knew until this wiate-."
said the superintendent of dog aps
cat hospital, how thoroughly most
animals detest the smell of kerosene.
Several times the steam heating ar.
paratus in this place went on strike
and we tried to raise the temperature
by means of an oil stove. The smell
of the oil produced a regular mutiny
among the animals. Cats are partic.
ularly sensitive to the odor of kerC-
sene. Next door to my house is n
stationery store which has been heat.
ed all winter long with an oil stove.
In the beginning of the season the
proprietor owned a fine cat that
seemed well satisfied with his COM
Portable quarters. No sooner, how
ever, was that stove lighted than the
cat deserted the stationer and sought
a home for the winter in steam
heated fiat further down the street.
He comes back once in awhile on a
visit, but the smell of the oil pre-
vents his becoming a regular inhab
liant of the store"

TO PREVENT POTATO ROT.

The German government and the
people who are interested in agricul-
ture have been making exhaustive
study and experiment in order to
find prevention or cure of the po-
tato rot. which has been serious and
increasing for several years.
As to the result of investigation
and experience, the following has
been published by newspapers
throughout the nation:
"The rotting is caused by the po-
tato fungus. This fungus, if pres
ent on some potatoes in the cellar,
spreads to other potatoes and causes
rot. A solution of one pound of
chloride of lime dissolved in 20 gal
Ions of water is used for washing
the potatoes by means of broom.
They are then spread out to dry.
Through this procedure the spores
of the fungus are killed"

Queen a Lover Of Books.

Queen Alexandra is a great lover Of
books and has given numbers of them
as presents. She is particularly fond
of presenting Lord Tennyson's poems,
She knew the great poet personally
and regarded him with much affection.
When her majesty gives book for a
present 1t is almost always beautifully
bound and specially to her order.
Bookbinding is a branch of art which
additionally is patroniZed by royal
personages. The unfortunate Mary,
Queen of Scots, and her equally hap
less grandson, Charles l., owned some
of the most beautiful bindings extant,
while Queen Elizabeth and the
Georges also patronized the highest
skill of their respective periods in this
direction.
