The probable fate of the Appropria-
ton Bill IL a matter that is causing
considerable speculation in both
houses of the Legislature. Though the
Governor this morning put his sigma.
ture to several measures. the Appro-
priation Bill was not among those sent
down. and there is rumor that the
bill, If not vetoed in toto, will be shy
a good many items when It makes its

GROUND THE WIRES.

Death of stock during thuDderstorms
Is In majority Of cases the result Of
their Dearness to wire fences, which
have become charged with electricity
during thunderstorms. 1t Is a charac-
teristic of the electric current to read
lily leave the overcharged wire for any
object within short distance. Losses
from this source may be almost entire
ly done away with II the fence wires
are grounded This may be done by
running short pieces Of wire down the
fenceposts at intervals Of from six to
eight rods. attaching them to each OF
the two or three wires and having
the ends extend into the ground foot
or more. When this Is done the over
charge is diverted into the ground,
which Is an excellent conductor. IN
stead of into cattle, horses or other OBJ
jects which may be near by.

THE ROUND BARN.

Some who plan to build barns are de-
batting whether the round or more com
mon rectangular structure will be the
more satisfactory. Some points In ia.
vor OF the round barn as well as some
disadvantages are worth noting. The
round barn Is the more substantial In
case of storm, and the stable work in
some respects Is more easily done. par
ticularly II the silo is In the center.
On the other hand. the round barn Is
more difficult and expensive to build,
while the interior space cannot be so
economically used, owing to the seq
mental rather than rectangular spaces.
AS to the silo advantage In the round
barn. 1t Is no longer considered neces.
sary that the silo should be included
in the barn structure. and hence It's
location at the center OF the round
barn, except for convenience In feed
ing operations, would seem to be q
drawback rather than a point In ITS
favor

THE FLY PEST.

Incessant warfare can be waged
against the common houseny without
any compunction of conscience Oh the
part of even the most chicken hearted.
There Is not a good and redeemine
word that can be said In its favor II
makes a bad start by hatching In the
horse manure pile, and its career is
filthy one from this on. 1t frequents
swill barrels masses of foul smelling
and decaytng vegetable and animal
matter and cesspools, and from these,
reeking and garm laden. 1t seeks ref
uge In the house, befouling paint and
paper, dish and glass and contaminat-
ing any foodstuff that 1t has access to
1t Is recognized by health authorities
everywhere as a prolific spreader of
typhoid and other filth disease germs.
One of the best ways TO reduce the
numbers of the pest Is to keep the ma
nure pile cleaned up and spread on the
fields. and IL this is not practicable the
same result may be accomplished by
scattering small quantities Of air
slaked lime over the compost pile as
1t accumulates. Swill barrels and
moist piles Of refuse should be moved
from the kitchen door. and in the lat
ter case the lime treatment will have
the desired effect In the house the
good work may be continued by hav-
ing tight fitting door and window
screens and the keeping of fly paper In
convenient places.

ORIGIN OF BORDEAUX MIXTURE

ORIGIN OF BORDEAUX MIXTURE.
Like many another useful prepara-
ton, the bordeaux mixture. which has
been used as a fungicide since 1888
and Is an invaluable aid to orchard
and vineyard owners, was discovered
by mere chance. 1t Is said that near
the town of Bordeaux, France, owDers
of certain vineyards by the roadside
were in the habit Of sprinkitng them
with vendigris to give them the ap-
pearance Of having been poisoned In
order to prevent depredations. Later
a mixture Of copper stilphate and lime
was used as a substitute for this.
When the mildew made IT'S appearance
In these vineyards 1t was noticed that
the vines which had been given this
treatment were freer from the disease.
and thus by very simple deduction
the mixture, later called bordeaux,
was given the credit Tor the good
work From that day to the present
1t has held first place as the most
valuable and effective of fungicides.
The Somerset reporter., 1909-07-15

At the bottom Of this question Of the
Importance of the policy Of forest
preservation is involved the problem
of whether the lumber business OF
itself and mining, which has little
concern for that doing on top Of the
ground. are really more important
sources of national wealth than agri
culture. Especially does this point
arise In arid or semiarid sections
where the flow of water In irrigating
canals depends very largely upon the
preservation of the forests upon hill
slopes and mountains In the same
drainage areas. An impartial view OF
the matter would seem TO suggest TO
the people OF any such section the folly
Of a policy which will slight or over
look the enormous economic impor-
tance OF the agricultural interests In
yolved. In central and eastern states.
where rainfall is abundant for crop
needs, the same question arises In a
slightly different form-the preserva-
tion of forests as moisture reservoirs,
which will regulate stream flow and IN
this way prevent the recurrence OF
wasteful and destructive foods which
through excess rather than shortage
OF water work havoc to agriculture.

You know that the value of any article
is based solely on what it can be
bought for in the open market.
Pianos of low quality are sold without re-
gard to any fixed price principle, and unfor-
tunately, the uniformed and unsuspectlng
purchaser gets an Inferior instrument much
to his disappointment and loss.
How is a piano purchaser to be safe and
sure in making purchase? To the man,
woman, or young person about to purchase
a piano we would say: This store points to
the straight. safe road. We handle only RE-
LIABLE GOODS. On this point there is no
question. our unlimited guarantee which is
behind every piano we SELL is an absolute
protection for every purchaser. We recon-
mend the MERRILL PIANOS because we
are familiar with the details of its manu-
facture, and the many thousands of these
instruments which have been sold In New
England,-a goodly number of them by us,
to satisfied purchasers, speaks volumes for
the reliability of the instrument

a curious thing noted In connection
with the black walnut tree is that
when near apple trees it seems to be,
in effect. a poison to them-at least
they usually die out-where If 1t Is
some other kind of forest tree the only
effect seems to be a stunting of growth
due to lack of sunshine. air, moisture
md plant food. Just what the cause
of the noxiousness of the walnut tree
Is due to we have never seen stated.

session, July 10th. After the business
meeting a recess was enjoyed by all.
Brothers were scarce but there were
enough sisters to make a goodly num-

After recess we were entertained
by music and instructed by discus

learned regarding it.

his way to grange and was unable to

know he was able to drive home.
