Who said Strawberries?

James L. Loomer with all the
secrecy in the world walked in the
LEADER Office Tuesday afternoon and
quietly uncovered before the astonish
ed eyes of the Editor one Of the largest
Strawberries on record and say by the
way, we have seen cabbages from
Kansas ''razor backs" from Arkansaw
but nothing can touch that straw
berry, we thought that we had seen
the father Of all knives but that
strawberry sur must be the father
of all berries. 1t weighed just one
ounce and was 2 inches In diameter.
This shows what Lincoln county
can do and there Is not another county
in this Union of ours can beat this
same old Lincoln county. The straw
berry he gave to the Editor and no
thanks can express the feeling and
appreciation experienced by the
Editor to be shown such a kindness
by so prosperous a citizen as Mr..
Loomer. Look for that same straw
berry at the LEADER picnic, ye
scribes.

Farmers Mix Your Own Fer
tjljxers.

DO you know that home mixing OF
fertilizers has proved to be the most
economical and satisfactory method of
procuring fertilizers? 1t is now gener-
ally conceded by up-to-date agricultural
lists that better results are obtained bv
buying the crude materials aud mixing
fertilizers especially adapted TO the diff
ferent crops you raise and the varying
conditions of the soil found on the
farm.
If you will send us your name on a
postal with request therefor, we will
send you free, postpaid, number of
formulas which were made for us by
the Director of the Vermont Expert
ment Station and which have been used
by many Vermont farmers with excellent
success, We will also give full direc-
tions for mixing fertilizers adapted to
all the crops commonly raised on Yer

Ginsenq's Growth.

The manner OF the ginSeng's growth
gives 1t queer shape and in some
cases fabulous value. There is first
Il main root or trunk. Then on the
sides there will be smaller roots, one
Oh a side, and by curious formation
the ottShoOtS resemble arms and legs,
SO that the full grown ginseng looks
for the world like human figure
The more the tancied likeness to the
human form is developed the greater
the value. according to some OF the
Chinese. The root as an herb has
wonderful properties, but. too. so
much beyond is the value of one that
looks human. The others will cure
ranrers aud all sorts of other diseases,
but the precious one having the hu-
man shape Will keep off devils and all

pose what might be called an Infinite

His Rules Of Golf,

lawyer of considerable prominence
took up the game OF golf. Some of
his friends volunteered chapters of
advice. while another presented to the
beginner book of rules. After COM
pleting his first round the counselor
was asked If he had mastered the
rules. The perspiring lawyer realized
the sarcasm OF the remark. but proved
equal to the occasion. "rhe rules? Oh,
they are quite simple" he replied.
There are two know OF. and to my
mind they are the most important.
You must bit the bail with your club.

ARMORIES FOR
MILITIA ONLY
Their Use for Fairs, Meetings,
ETC., Frowned Upon by
War Department.
REPORT IS MADE ON SUBJECT
Efficiency of Militia Impaired in Many
States, IL is Said, Because of
Use of Armories for
Other Purposes.

Washington. Feb. 12.-The imnair-
ment of the efficiency of the organized
militia by the use OF armories in cer-
tain states for non-milltary purposes
is charged in advices on the subject
by the war department. The appro-
priation of armories to a large extent
for such civic purposes as fairs. ex-
hibitions, meetings, civilian athletic
contests, etc. it is alleged. has seri-
ously interfered with armory instrue-
tion to the detriment' of efficiency in
this branch of the military service.
Col. Weaver. chief militia advisor of
the war department. has brought the
matter to the attention of the adjutant
general, citing for the guidance of 9TH
ers, the laws of several states which
throw proper restrictions around the
use of armories. The military codes
of Massachusetts. Michigan, New York
and Washington are referred to as be-
ing properly constructed i'm this re-
spect and Col Weaver expresses the
hope that provisions of like nature
will be introduced i'm the laws of states
where armories are too freely used for
other than military purposes.
