Summer and Fall Seeding
and Top-Dressing.

Many farmers are finding it to their
advantage to seed down during the
summer and fall, claiming that by so
doing they are apt to get much bet
ter "catch" than they do when they
follow the usual practice and seed
down in the spring.
The same is true regarding top
dressing grass land. Some of the
most progressive farmers put on top
dressing Immediately after haying,
with perhaps a small application Of
nitrate of soda the following spring.
If you will send your name and Pc.
address to Carroll s. Page, Hyde
Park, VT, he will send you free, post
paid, several formulas for mixing fer
tilizers especially adapted to top
dressing and fall seeding, together
with prices of ingredients, full direc-
tons for mixing, etc. These formulas
have been approved by the Vermont
Experiment Station and will be found
thoroughly reliable.

tionai power as Commsnder-in-chief Of
the army and navy. and that Congress
had no power 10 Interfere 10 change the
order He warned 8Ir- Hale that he was
making Of the marines "a privileged
class" and depreciaJing the value Of the
seamen. the men who fight your ships. 3"
Senator Hale defended the marines. for
/ their conduct in China, and especially
/ in Panama. where. under the dispensation
which the President has disturbed and
destroyed" the presence Of 400 marines
actually prevented a war with Colom-
bia The Senator declared that If two
regiments OF troops had been sent 70
/ Panama war with Colombia would have
/ followed in forty-eight hours We would
/ have overwhelmed Colombia. II was true.
| but the war would have cost from fifty
millions to a hundred millions of dol
/ lars"
Mr.. Hale declared that the marines
would not have been available in tnat
emergency had the Presidents order been
/ in effect then
/ The President mustered several defend
/ ers OF his powers as Commander-in-chief.

could not revoke IL
/ To Mr. BOrah who was especially ear
nest in defending the Presidents consti-

/ Mr.. Bacon submitted a question:

petuate himself in Office, would order %.
o90 soldiers to the Capital. Does the
Senator contend that there would be no
authority IN Congress tc cOuntermand the

Authority of Congress Doubted.
Senator Borah doubted the authority Of
Congress TO interfere with any order Of
the President regarding the movement OF
military forces issued as Commander-in-
chief
Mr.. Baeon's observations on constitu-
tional limitations called forth this remark
from Mr. Lodge;
Whenever I see the Senator from

tion is in peril"
And If the Senator from Massaehu-
sets had his way at ell times. the Con-
