the Society for the Prevention of Cru

work for some time gathering suf-

Complaints have come from the

the large department stores that,

1t was due to the shrewdness of a

that little girls were the culprits.
From her station on an elevated plat

RICE 2RYXYC

Bengal Is an ideal country for rice
growing, because its vast alluvial
plains become annually flooded by the
heavy rainfall and the overlooking of
its great rivers. Then the productive
ness of rice is simply amazing-the
hundred-fold is passed many times
over A friend of the writer counted
II stalks growing from one grain of
seed: each of these stalks would bear
from 100 to 200 grains of rice; hence,
taking the average on each stalk at
$50 grains only. the Droductiveness in
that instance amounted to the grand
total of 1850. OF course. it is not
asserted that every grain of seed bears
a similar number, but 1t is clear that,
where the conditions are favorable,
the productiveness is astonishing.

Bengal peasant. which consists of his

of his oxen and the short BAN

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 from 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 mixing
fertilizers especially adapted to top
dressing and seeding-down grass land.
These formulas have not only been ap-
proved by the Vermont Experiment
Station, but have been used with ex-
cellent results by great many farm
ers in Vermont and have proved thor
oughly reliable. We cam also furnish
the materials for mixing fertilizers in
accordance with these formulas. We
should be pleased to send the formulas
together with full directions for mix
ing, cost of materials. ETC., to any one
who will write us, mentioning this pa

test is in the showing of their uualif
cations for public administration of
large affairs and in their perception of
the true public interest in the issues

comparison, 1t seems to me, are greatly
capital. 1t perfected the railway rate

secured to all shippers equality in rates

dustrieS which utilize natural re-
sources in adding to the comforts of

wise laws to prevent waste of those
resources. With fidelity to the basic
principles of the nation. unmoved by
appeals of demagogues or clamor for
class legislation the Republican party
will safeguard private rights through
the processes of the courts to the end
that justice shall remain a shield and
protector to every citizen.
The Democratic party opposed the
principles and policies of Washington
and Hamilton until the decisions of
Marshall fixed them securely in the

the American people. 1t opposed the
principles of union. for which Lincoln

party in meeting the issues which
grew out of the civil and Spanish
American wars. In the, decisions of the

pie the Republican party has found
complete justification.

Nineteen boys out Of 20 had weak
