Summer and Fall Top-Dresslns
and SEEDING Down.

Many farmers are finding il to their
advantage to seed down during the sum
mer and fall, claiming that by so doing
they are apt to get a much better
..eateh" than they do when they follow
the usual practice and seed down IN the
spring.
The same is true regarding top-dress-
ing grass land. Some of the most pro
gresslve farmers put on top-dressing i'm
mediately after haying, with perhaps a
small application Of nitrate of soda the
following spring.
II you will send your name and p. o.
address to Carroll S. Page, Hyde Park,
Vt, he will send you free, postpaid, sew
eral formulas for mixing fertilizers es'
pecially adapted TO top-dressing and fal
seeding, together with prices of ingredi
euts, full directions for mixing, etc
These formulas have been approved by
the Vermont Experiment Station ant
will be found thoroughly reliable.

a Valued Principle.

The chief ornament of modern plans
for government is the promise that all
suspected persons should be regarded as
innocent until proved guilty by process
of jurisprudence. Now the nobility of
this idea-ft for America wherever it
was made is evident to people of even
less than ordinary intelligence; and is
of course cherished principle of Gull
tured men, who well understand the re-
sponsbility of an influential position in
society The value of the principle
essential to the welfare Of organized
groups of men having worthy purpose
to realize even as it is to Individuals
is in proportion to the necessity for its
use. And there still exists in large
measure, the need of an offset to an in
graiued aptness for prejudice and sus-
picion, These tendencies, shared by a

THE OIL WELL SHOOTER.

Sometimes Blown Into Eternity With
His Own Ammunition.
In certain Of the petroleum produc-
hs districts It becomes necessary some
times in opening an oil well-sometimes
when the well has become clogged or
apparently exhausted-to begin or re-
new the How by exploding nitroglyc-
erin at the bottom Of the we'll This
explosive is employed because It is ex-
plodes readily by the dropping of a
weight upon It. A man who carries
hitroglycerin from we'll to well for this
purpose Is known in the oil regions as
1 shooter"
The shooter has wagon in which to
carry his explosive. A square hox I'm
der the seat is carefully padded, and
when 1t has been solidly filled with
cans Of nitroglycerin, which is mo.
lasses-like fluid, he fastens down the
cover and drives slowly away to the
we'll that he is to shoot Usually he
makes the trip very early in the morn
Ing to avoid the customary travel and
80 diminish the chance of danger.
For the most part the roads are bad,
and the wagon jolts along in way to
make any one but an old shooter de-
cidedly nervous. II 1t is dark there
Is great danger that a wheel may drop
Into hole with force enough to deto-
nate the explosive. Several wagons
bearing shooters and their loads have
been blown up, but no one ever lived
to tell what sort of jar caused the ex-
plosion.
In such case little is ever found ex.
cept the great hole In the ground which
the explosion has dug, with possibly n
wheel Of the wagon quarter of a
mile away In one direction and another
In the opposite direction.
The shooter generally takes from
30 to 240 quarts Of nitroglycerin In
his wagon. The smaller amount is
quite enough If 1t should explode to
leave no trace of the driver of the
vehicle.
When the shooter reaches the well
which is to be treated long torpedo
tubes are placed within the casing Of
the well, and the nitroglycerln is poured
carefully into them. The well may be
1,6OO feet deep and is seldom less than
thousand. When one of the tubes is
filled 1t is lowered with the utmost
care to the bottom of the well. This
operation is repeated until the shoot
er ID satisfied that the load is heavy
enough to accomplish the purpose.
When all is ready bar of iron. known

Politics and Prejudice.

The Vermont Tribune well says -
1t is perhaps too much to expect that
a political campaign national, state or
local-can ever be carried on without
the introduction of personal prejudice
as opposed to public considerations; and
yet individual effort may wisely be di-
rected toward the reduction of this I'M
desirable element to minimum, for
personal prejudice has too frequently in.
terfered with the success of movements
for the enhancement of the public well
fare.
When men are willing to forget per-
sonal differences and look only at the
all-round qualifications of candidate
when they are willing to sacrifice at
least part of the "ego" for the sake OF
the more important body-politic-they
make possible some things that are I'M
possible without this sacrifice.
Too often the suggestion of candl.
dacy is the signal for the digging up OF
trivial animosities and their injection
into the campaign to a degree out OF all
proportion to the exigencies of the stu
alton, and the result is brand of "poli-
tics" that disgusts those who enjoy a
clean, open, fair contest, Increases the
number of stay-at- homes, and discredits
the community.
Amy man of average standing and
ability may aspire to political prefer
ment, and he is entitled to chance
without aspersion. 1t is the straight
from-the-shouder contest, free from
snake-in-the-grass methods aud waged
on principle Instead Of personalities
that tones up the body-politic. The
other kind is not to be tolerated by
thoughtful citizens who have the public
interest at heart.

"lt's tho Cut. !"

An aged country rector who had an
old tailor as his clerk, returning from
his church one Sunday with the lat
ter, thus addressed him:
Thomas, cannot think how it is
that our church should be getting
thinner, for | am sure | preach as
well as ever | did and ought to have
far more experience than | had when

Indeed" replied Thomas. "Ill tell
