Fertilizers for Summer and Fall Top
Dressing and Seeding-Down.

Up-to-date farmers are agreed that
In many cases better results are OBJ
tanned on meadows froms fertilizers
which are applied In the summer or
early fall. This is 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 mix
ing fertilizers especially adapted TO
top-dressing and seeding-down grass
land. These formulas have not only
been approved by the Vermont Exper-
iment 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 mix
ing fertilizers in accordance with
these formulas. We should be
pleased to send the formulas togeth-
er with full directions for mixing
cost materials, ETC., to any one who
will write us, mentioning this paper.

Death of Mrs. Denio

This community was very sadly
startled when the news was received
Thursday morning from Sheridan. Wy
oming, announcing the sudden and un-
expected death of Mrs. Julia McKsn-
ley DEMO. The lady had been visiting
here for month during the summer
with her sisters Mesdames w. l.. Shaf-
fer and William Woodward and only
left couple of weeks ago to
return to her happy home. Hence
when the wires flashed the sorrowful
news to the relatives, they not only
brought the most doleful bereavement
to the loving sisters but cast dark
cloud over her many friends here.
Mrs. DEMO was born and raised in this
community and was known by large
circle of friends and beloved by all.
AS one of our prominent citizens ex-
pressed himself "She was one of the
most lovely girls and woman that hav
ever met Her death is a personal
sadness to me-" She was married to
Mr.. DEMO, of Longmont about eleven
y oso' anu dDoui lflttN Olle
years of ago. Her death occurred
Thursday morning about o clock from
ptomaine poison but the full particu-
lars We're not received at the time of
going to press. Her remains were
brought to Longmont Friday and will
in all probability be inferred today be-
sides those of her only child. While
looking out upon life in the pride of
womanhood, cheered on by devoted
husband who clustered around her al
the Joys, hopes and happiness that
man could bestow, she was called away
through mysterious Providence whose
ways are past finding out While
deeply mourning her sudden departure
into the Great Future, regret softens
into resignation when one realizes that
along her ife's pathway, though brief,
there We're scattered so many kind
acts, SO many pleasant smiles, so many
loving words, so many precious me..i-
cries. The bereaved relatives can feel
assured that in these hours of gloom
they have many sympathizing friends
to share their unbounded grief.

A Rich Retort

Messrs Shaffer and Roller are GER
tainly making good at the great Alice
mine, and proving that where science
is coupled with judgemen, much can be
accomplished. They have exhibited in
this city this week a fine retort which
was carried in tin bucket, and which
had cash value of $632 as result of
run on the Alice ore, which has long
been known as big proposition but
of low grade.
The crude ore returned 50. &c in bullion
and 35c in concentrates, representing
practically $50 per ton total. The
head samples yielded $4.67 in gold, sill
Yer and copper; thus the commercial
savings are approximately GA per
cent, showing an increase both in val
ues and savings.
The promoters are said to have To-
Gated most OF the sources of loss in
milling, and are now preparing to rem
edy the defects

Horse Thieves

Plummer and company came near
having one of its big teams stolen
last Monday shortly after midnight
Dad Cain was making his patrol around
the coal yards when he noticed the barn
doors of the Plummer Company wide
open. Striking a match and entering
the stable he found two of the horses
gone. He at once called Charley
Plumm and shortly after arriving
there one of the horses came struggling
into the barn with harness on. The
men then looked around and found the
other ii d outside to wagon. The
supposition is that the thieves had just
got the horses out and were getting
ready to hitch them to wagon when
the night marshall put in appearance
and frightened them. The staple in the
barn door had been drawn as the

clue to the thief or thieves,

State Deputy Price then made for
