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 a much bet
ter "catch" than they do when they
follow the usual practice and ssed
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-
lions for mixing, etc. These formulas
have been approved by the Vermont
Experiment Station and will be found
thoroughly reliable.

Charles K. Batchelder Victim of Auto
mobile Accident.

Much sincere sorrow is felt here over
the sudden death of Charles K.
Batchelder, who was killed in an auto
mobile race in Montreal Friday after
noon. He was about II years of age
and had always lived here, though for
several years had been away at school.
He was the only son of VIM. M.
Batchelder, who with.a sister, Mrs. A.
A. Bishop are left to mourn his un-
timely death. Without a thorough
preparation for college Charles entered
McGill university at Montreal and by
plucky perseverance, aided in no small
measure by sympathy and encourage
ment from his father and sister. attain
ed the degree Of Civil engineer and
Electrical engineer, and had entered
the same institution for post
graduate course in mining engineering,
upon the completion of which course 1T
was his intention to seek livelihood in
the Canadian Northwest, opportunity
having offered itself for the use Of his
attachments in that locality. He was
an expert chauffeur and since his
graduation had toured Europe in the
employ of friend in this capacity
and was driving this friends car when
the accident which cost his life
happened. He was driving so horse
power Stearns machine and this was
the second annual race of the Canadian
Automobile club. 1t was in the 10
mile open race for stock touring cars
and on the eighth mile when ne swung
out to pass the machine ahead and
what happened no one knows. His
machine was seen to dash into the
fence, fly over the embankment and
come to stop 40 yards beyond. The
other occupant of the car. Twohey,
was dead with broken neck and while
Batchelder was breathing, he died be-
fore he could be gotten to the hospital,
being terribly mutilated. The funeral
was held at the home of his father in
West Derby Sunday with interment in
the cemetery there. Mere words can
not express the regret felt in the
community for the loss of so gifted
young life, or the sympathy felt for
the stricken friends and family.
