Fertilizers for Summer and Fall
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
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 fertili-
GERS especially adapted to top-dressing
and seeding down grass land These
formulas have not only been approved
by the Vermont Experiment Station, but
have been used with excellent results by
a great many farmers in Vermont and
have proved thoroughly reliable. We
can 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 mixing, cost Of materials, ETC., to
any one who will write us mentioning
this paper. Address CARROLL S. PAGE,

NEW FREEZING APPARATUS.
Device Exhibited in Germany Which
Does Away with Ice.

The cold storage preservation OF per
ishable food stuff by means of carbon

and there seems TO be a tendency at the
present time 20 do away with ice Tor such
purposes whenever il is possible.
At an exhibition in a German city there
was lately on view new type Of re
frigerator. the chief feature OF which is
its simplicity and inexpensiveness. The
appliance comprises a double-waned tin
vessel. with an annular space all around
about an inch wide. and completely sur
rounding the inner chamber.
CarbOnic acid gas is slowly admitted
into this annular space at the bottom.
After filing the whole Of the space 1t

tiele stored within.
In fact. so efficient is the apparatus
that water is frozen in lesss than a min
ute. The refrigeTative effect is produced
by the rapid expansion of the carbonic
acid gas.
The apparatus is stated TO be highly
suited 10 the requirements of the house
hold and is very inexpensive to work,
the carbonic acid gas being stored in the
ordinary type Of reservoirs used for that
purpose.

The mountains are TO be rocky. but with
artificial caps of snow and ice. The riv-
ers will run with real water and forests
will be marked with dwarf plants.
When the drawings and estimates are
made the government will urge the na-
tional congress TO make an appropriation
for executing the work. In connection
with it, it is proposed to have a botanical
and geological garden in which each of
the twenty states Of Brazil will have sec
uons in which 10 display their character

posed to have within the same incIosure

an event which took place thirteen years
before the separation of Brazil from the
mother country but which is regarded
as being really the starting point of FRA
