SUMMER AND FALL SEEDING
AND TOP DRESSING

Many farmers are finding il to
their advantage to seed down dur
ing the summer and fall, claiming
that by so doing they are apt to
get a much better "catchp 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 APP
plication of nitrate of soda the fol-
lowing spring.
II you will send your name and
p. o. address to Carroll s. Page,
Hyde Park, VT, he will send you
free, postpaid, several formulas
for mixing fertilizers especially
adapted to top-dressing and fall
seeding, together with prices of
ingredients, full directions for mix
ing, etc. These formulas have been
approved by the Vermont Expert
ment Station and will be found
thoroughly reliable.

Work and Wages.

Whether or not the adoption OF
Miss Margaret Bucholtz into the fam
lily of the late John A. DratZ OF Mus
kegon, invalidates her claim for 953
weeks of servant work is a question
that the probate court will have to
decide in settling up the affairs Of
the Dratz estate.
Mr., Dratz was a wealthy Muskegon
merchant. Miss Bucholtz, who was
left an orphan at the age of II, was
taken into the DratZ home and
worked for the family for 20 years,
leaving in 1908. During this time she
received no pay except her main
tenance
At the eleventh hour, during
the hearing OF the claims on the
claims on the estate, Miss Bucholtz
put in an appearance from Chicago
and presented a claim of $2,S59. valu-
ing her services at SO week. The
heirs will contest her claim.
