An Associated Press dispatch from

Cumber has arrived there for the
session. He reached there early in
order to do some preliminary work
in connection with bills pending in
the committee on pensions, of which
he is chairman. Senator McCumber

mer Representative Marshall, and

Summer and Fall Seeding and
Top Dressing

Many farmers are finding it to their
advantage to seed down during the
summer aud fall, claiming that by so
doing they are apt to get a much better
'catch" than they do when they follow
the usual practice and seed down in the
spring.
The same is true regarding top
dressing grass Iand. Some Of the most
progressive farmers put on topdressing
immediately after hayiug with perhaps
small application Of nitrate of soda
the following spring.
If you will send your name aud @.

several formulas for mixing fertilizers
especially adapted to top-dressing and

etc. These formulas have been app owed
by the Vermont Experiment Station
and will be found thoroughly reliable.

as given in his brief delineation of the

be regarded by thoughtful men as the
rationalism of yesterday rather than an
acceptable prophecy. Indeed it is doubt
full if any ideal policy to govern conduct
