Fertilizers for Summer and Fsli TOP.
Dressing and Seeding Down.

Up-to-date farmers are agreed that in
many cases better results are obtained on
meadows from fertilizers which are sp-
piled in the summer or early fall. This
lie true both as to top-dressing and seeding
down.
We wish to call the attention Of the
farmers OF Vermont to the fact that we
can furnish formulas for mixing fertiIiz-
ers especially adapted to top-dressing and
seeding down grass land. These formu-
las have not only been approved by the
Vermont Experiment Station but have
been used with excellent results by .
great many farmers in Vermont and have
proved thoroughly reliable. We can also
furnish the materials for mixing fertilix-
ers in accordance with these formulas.
We should be pleased to send the formu-
Las together with full directions for mix
ing, cost of materials, etc., to anyone
who will write us, mentioning this paper.
Address Carroll 8. Page, Hyde Park, VT.

There was keen despair at st. Johns
bury last week on the part OF the Haskins
supporters when il developed that there
was nothing doing in the line of trading.
windhsm county came up with loyal
bunch for Haskins, who didn't care q
darn for the governorship either way.
They were anxious to throw voses to
Prouty IL they could by so doing win
votes from Orleans county for Haskins.
They seemed Of the opinion that Prouty's
chances were so desperate that mis- friends
would jump at the chance, and that ii
would be an easy thing to hold up the
yoke and let enough Plumley votes in to
beat the Mortified man. This was be-
fore they met up with the men from the
north. 1t was the basis OF what conf
dent talk they made. Afterward, they
knew more. They found that while Or
leans county was for Prouty it was also
mostly for Plumiey-really and truly So
and they simply got the laugh when they
proposed to dicker. Then their hope
sentiment. Then came threats OF what
they would do at Montpelier. But it was
all useless. Orleans county didn't
bulge. Prouty didn't interfere. He
knew better, whatever his disposition,
and there was no evidence of preference
on his part. So it went through with
the Windham fellows looking aud feel
ing ugly; but altogether powerless. Some
Of them did what they had threatened at
Montpelier next day and Prouty lost a
few votes that he might have had il the
deal had gone through, but there were
not enough to affect the result. Wind
ham county, in its calculation, forgot one
point-it takes two to make g bargain.

The divorce epidemic has reached such
proportions in Vermont that the state
board OF health has taken notice OF it in
its latest bulletin. The board finds that
the proportion OF divorces to marriages
had increased alsrmingIy since 1856. In
that year there was one divorce to every
20.03 marriages, while in 1907 there was
divorce to every $50 marriages. This
means that in % years the ratio of di-
vorces to marriages has more than dou-
bled. The bulletin goes on to say that
in short time there will be as many d.
vorces as marriages. Singulariy enough,
the boards remedy is not vaccination, CT
a strict quarantine, or submission OF cul-
lures to the state laboratory, but runs
along the line of home, religious and So
ciai influences, which it believes are not
rightly exerted at present. II is well
enough for the state board OF health to
call attention to the increase In divorces,
and for people to take due heed, but the
realm of divorce discussion is quite a new
one for a board of health to enter.

There is close parallel in the condi-
tons in which both the great political
parties find themselves this year. They
are both completely mastered and di-
rected in all essential regards by one
man Republicans by Roosevelt, Demo-
Gratis by Bryan. There is an opposition
minority OF about the same proportions
in each party, but not able to accomplish
anything, and seemingly prepared TO sub
NIT to the master hand. Roosevelt pre-
pared the Chicago program and 1t was
carried out almost TO the letter. The
Denver convention will be run by Bryan
completely. Neither party can safely ac-
cuse the other of being one-u.an party,
for both are situated exactly alike. The
parallel continues to Vermont, The Re
publcans in state convention refused to
instruct for Taft, but cast their eight
votes for him, Notwithstanding. The
Democrats turned down violently a prop
osition to instruct for Bryan, then elect
ed eight Bryan men as delegates. Queer
thing, politics.

In times Of prosperity prepare for adversely.

To no class of people does this saying
apply more forcibly than to thu wage
Garner, the man on salary or the per-
son with a limited income. NOW,
when you have employment; NOW
when your health is good aod your
courage strong; NOW, when opportu-
nifty is yours; NOW, when your earn
ing capacity provides for your daily
needs. and leaves a margin-NOW is
the time to save.
The DESIRE to save should be uni
versal. Thrift leads TO comfort; the
lack of it often means want. worry and
unhappiness. TIE provident farmer
saves from his crop enough of the b. st
of his products for the spring planting.
The squirrel may be seen every autumn
busily gathering stores of nuts for food
during the long winter months. The
wise city government provides sink
ing fund that shall, in time, wipe out
the city indebtedness. On every side
is thrift-foresight. Thrift builds up;
it is constructive. Waste, extrava-
gance, tear down; they are destructive.
The provident man plans ahead; he
prepares for the unexpected, for the
proverbial rainy day.
First there must be the DESIRE to
save; then the DETERMINATION to
save; then the actual SAVING. Your

There is every indication that the bare
honor OF holding the governorship and
being know n to the present and to pos
terity as Governor Prouty will not satisfy
the Newport man. He is essentially .
man of action, who does things that he
concludes need doing. He will keep on,
he says, in the way marked out by the
present administration, which stand GER
tainly has the endorsement of the people.
1t is not his idea that enough remains to
do to make the task especially hard, or its
accomplishment racking to the business
interests of the state. In his acceptance
speech he set forth in general way some
steps Of progress, and there was practi-
cal acquiescence in them. The state
may look for conscientious, intelligent
service from Mr.. Prouty. By the way,
isn't this new kind of talk about YER

CREAMERY WILL
SOON BE READY
Month Ahead of Time
Originally Planned.

Though the date is a month earlier
than at first fixed, the new creamery
will probably be ready for operations
by October l. Work on the building
has been pushed and this part of the
creamery is practically complete. The
machinery was shipped two weeks
ago, and is expected any day
Indications are that the creamery
will have more than one hundred
COWS to supply it at the start, while
the herds of the stockholders will be
increased Besides these COWS, it is
probable that number of farmers
will see the benefits to be derived from
sending milk to the creamery, and
fwill establish one or more additional
wagon routes.
In any event the stockholders will
increase their own holdings of COWS
until about 300 COWS will be at the
disposal of the butter factory. Even
with one hundred COWS a good profit
can be made, but with the 300 pro-
posed, dividends will be we'll up in
two figures, judging by experience
elsewhere.
The stockholders are enthusiastic
over the early opening, as it will put
their funds to use that much sooner.
1t will also be a steady source of
income from outside, which will be
appreciated by the stock owners and
by every business interest as we'll.
