The folly of the king system of gov

Portugal. Because an lS-year- old boy
happens TO be the son of his father he
becomes the head of the nation. With
out experience. with Immature faculties,
without proof OF aptitude, without evil
dence of the proper sort of character
he is lurched into seat on the throne.
1t Is all very we'll to say that he is but
a flgurehead; that the real responsible
ties of the government viii be borne
by older men; that he is the ruler of
Portugal in name only, but that does
not yindlcate the soundness of the mon
archial idea. II he is TO be the actual
head of the government, the plan OF
giving him such a position merely be-
cause ne is who he is becomes for that
reason peculiarly absurd. If he is not
TO be the actual chief of the govern
ment. but an ornament only, the absurd
ity of the thing Is just as clear, for
what il the use of having king II

these difficulties can be avoided by
engaging every year a few young men,

four hustling young men at 5000 a year
each will show more and better results
than one old experienced salesman at
1900, And in few years they will
grow into four big money earners.
I venture to say that the largest and
most successful business houses are,

Salt as a Fertilizer

Salt has long been recognized as va.
liable fertilizing agent, especially for use
on light, sandy OF worn-out land. 1t il
claimed that an oat crop on such soil il:
more than doubled by the use of salt.
Farmers of Northern Vermont have
been accustomed for many years to OBJ
tain their Fertilizing Salt of C. S. Page
of Hyde Park, Vt. The alt he sells is
that which has been used ON Hides,
Skins, etc., in his hidehouse and contains
more or less waste matter that really
adds to it's fertilizing value. Last year
the demand far exceeded the supply and
Mr.. Pages stock was exhausted early in
the season, so that he was obliged to dis
appoint many farmers who sent in their
orders late. 1t is advisable, therefore,
that farmers who intend using Pages Salt
this season should place their orders early.
The price this year is only $500 per
ton, f. o. b. Hyde Park. The railroad
company makes an especially low rate on
twelve ton carloads. If you will write
Mr.. Page, he will tell you the exact rate
TO your station.
