To Hold State Orchard Meeting

President G. w. Perry of South Hero,
and Prof. M. B. Cummings OF Bur-
lington, have just completed the ar
rangements for and sent out announce
ments descriptive of an orchard meet
ing for the Vermont state Horticul-
tural Society to be held at South Hero,
September 7, and since this is the first
summer meeting the society has ever
held. it is looked forward to with much
interest.
The program of the meeting includes
MANY new features. There will be
demonstrations in the spraying of fruit
trees, tree surgery, apple packing, anc
out door talks on orchard pests. In
addition to .these orchard demonstra'
lions there will be evening lectures by
men of much experience in all lines OF
fruit production.
1t is the intention of the officers tC
make the meeting one of very genera
interest. and there will be many things
to interest women, as well as men; anc
members will be expected to take theil
wives and children. The general plan
is that of a well organized picnic where
pleasure, business, and recreation are
combined

Under the revised japanese tariff
law, which passed the Diet last March,
the duties are higher than in the old
one. While this new statutory tariff
cannot take the place of the present
conventional tariff until the expiration
of the treaties of which it forms part,
American goods imported into Japan
will be subject to the new duties when
ever and in so far as these duties are
enforced upon the imports from other
countries. Increases under the revised
schedule run from to 20 per cent. and
affect -four, wheat, machinery, rails,
locomotives, pipe, and many other ar
ticles of commerce. American trade will
be seriously hampered by the new
schedules.

The products of the dairy are per
haps the most useful articles included
in the human diet. A meal made up of
dishes into which no product of the
dairy cow enters would not be such as
to inspire "the turnpike road to people S
hearts | find lies through their mouths,
or mistake mankind. " Take away
the butter for the bread, the cream for
the coffee and the porrdge, the short
ening in the crust and the biscuits, the
milk in the gravy and in the buildings,
the cream for the dessert and the vari-
Gus kinds of cheese which please and
satisfy, then take away the cup of milk
for the little one and the meal that
would be left would be neither tempt
ing nor nutritious.
The health of our people depends SC
much upon an adequate supply of pure
dairy products that even scarcity is
always attended by suffering and death.
Butter is sometimes referred to as &
luxury. This is a mistake. Butter is
not luxury but one of the necessities
of life, and its composition is such thai
nothing can take its place and perform
the same functions. 1t is natures pro
duct compounded in the maternal or
ganism and the process is in accordance
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1910-08-19

with natures law, law which man can
initiate but cannot understand. Man
can manufacture from various fats and
oils a substitute for butter but it cannot
take the place of natures product be-
cause man cannot understand the needs
of the human body as nature under
stands them.
The animal body is developed best
when nourished by foods which have
been little manipulated by man and ma
chinery. Dairy products are, as a rule,
consumed nearly as nature produced
them. This is particularly true with
milk upon which the growing body must
depend. In the case of butter only a
small percentage of other products are
added to the fat extracted from the
milk. Man only manipulates it in
order to put it in convenient shape for
use. 1t can still be termed product
of nature designed as only nature can
design for use as food by the human
body.

The vast strides in the art of railroad
locomotive building is emphasized in
recent news dispatch from st. Paul,
Mimi, as follows: 1.-The first of the
Great Northern's latest purchase Of
forty locomotives are arriving in st.
Paul. These locomotives are built low
near the rails so they will not rock
when making high speed. They are
capable of travelling so miles an hour
with a train of seven cars. They are as
small as they can be made, even the cab
giving the engineer and fireman just
enough room to turn around. They
have ten wheels, with superheater
equipment. Twenty of the new locomo-
tives will be used on the Winnipeg
Limited and the Gopher Express, and
on the service recently established be
tween Vancouver, B. c., and Portland,
Ore. The other twenty, with bigger
cylinders, will be used to pull the fast
transcontinental mail trains Some
wears ago when a speed of sixty miles
an hour was made by trains over few
roads the feat was looked on as a mar
vel and that the maximum had been
reached. but now that the engines above
mentioned are required to haul an aver
age train at the rate Of eighty miles
it would seem that the limit has, ever
vet. not been reached.

What women have done in the last
four years in the campaign against tu-
berculosis, is discussed in an interesting
report issued yesterday by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis.
Four years ago the only active women
workers in the anti tuberculosis move
meht were little group of about thirty
women's clubs. Today S00,0 900 women
under the Health Department of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs
in every state and territory of the
United States are banded together
against this disease, and more than
2, 900 clubs are taking a special interest
in the crusade. Not less than $500, 900
is raised annually by them for tuber-
culosis work, besides millions that are
secured through their efforts in state
and municipal appropriations. Mrs.
Ruth P. Williams is the chairman of
the department that directs this work
In add ton to the work of the Cen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs, The
Public Health Education Committee of
the American Medical Association,
composed largely of women physicians,
has carried on an educational campaign
of lectures during the past year in
which thousands have been reached.
The Mothers Congress, the Young
Women's Christian Association, and
many unattached clubs bring the num-
Der of women united in the tuberculosis
war to we'll over a million. There is
not state in the union where some
work has not been done.
Through the activity of women, sana-
toria and hospitals for the treatment OF
tuberculosis have been erected, travel
ling libraries have been circulated, pos
tiers, circulars and other kinds of litera-
ture have been distributed to the num-
Der of millions of pieces; thousands OF
lectures have been given, large sums OF
money have been secured, hundreds OF
needy cases have been helped; tuber-
culosis work has been started in many
communities where no movement haC
existed; and millions of women have
learned the dangers and methods o.
prevention of tuberculosis.
The work of the women extends from
the drawing room of the rich to the
homes of the poor, and embrases al
classes, including the factory girl anC
millionaire. During the coming year ;
special campaign of lectures to womel
will be carried on in all parts of thu
United States.

One has a greater respect for the
Philippine Islands commercially when
he realizes that the thirty-seven prov
inces which constitute the group pro-
duced 56S,OO0,00O pounds of hulled rice
in the year 1908 and last year increas-
ed this total to 966,00O.OO0 pounds, a
part of the increase being due to more
complete returns. While the Filipino
is usually rated by Americans as Of a
low order of intelligence, it is worthy
Of note that the system of terrace irri-
cation devised by the little brown man
generations ago for the culture Of rice
is now rated as one of the marvels of
agricultural history.

Recently man in the southwest has
sought to get rich without working by
selling at 80 cents pound the seed
grain Of what. he claimed was Califor-
mia wheat which, he declared. would
yield from 200 to 400 bushels per acre.
The agricultural department has inves-
tigated this claim and found that the
seed in question is Of variety of sor-
ghum known as shallu, which was
tested several years ago and found to
be only half as productive as Kaffir
corn

Crop statistics are sometimes inter-
esting in that they shed side lights on
fundamental agricultural conditions.
To illustrate the point, the average
yield per acre of winter wheat for the
ten year period 19OO-19O9 was 14.3
bushels per acre. For the preceding
decade it was 1919 bushels. This shows
an increase of IA bushels per acre for
the later period. In both instances,
however, the average yield is so low
that it pays n mere pittance in interest
on money invested after cost of pro-
duction, taxes, ETC., have been paid.
An increase in yield per acre means
little unless it stands for better sys-
tenn of farm management which keeps
in view a maintenance of the fertility
of the soil.

One who has had extensive expert
ence in the matter of ivy poisoning
recommends a wash made by adding
ten or twelve drops of carbolic acid
to an ounce Of distilled or rain water.
Another who has also had experience
suggests a paste made by moistening
sifted wood ashes with water and ap-
plying to the affected parts. Both the
remedies are cheap and can be easily
tested and compared.

If a measure which was introduced
in the recent session of the New York

commission merchants of that state
will have TO put up bond of $1,000
each as a guarantee of square deal

may have no assurance Of their integ-

Should the law pass it will mean that

Dairy experts from the New York
Gals of the Erie railroad took a very
effective method of spreading the gos-
pei of better dairying when they ran
milk production" special over that
road in April of this year. Forty-five
minute stops were made at twenty-one
towns, thirty minute lectures on the
one subject of milk production being
followed by a fifteen minutes demon
stration of a profitable and unprofita-
BILE type of dairy COW, the first being a
Holstein with a record of APT pounds
of butter fat per year, while the other
on but trifle less feed made but 1877
pounds of butter in the same period.
In the lectures the fact was empha-
sized that to keep In business the
dairyman must, In view of present high
prices of feed, either receive more for
his product or reduce In some way the
cost Of its production, which was
shown could be effected In three ways
by the more economical feeding Of
home grown feeds grain, clover, al
falfa, silage and beets), by wedding
out the boarder COWS by the use of the
Babcock test and by grading up tho
dairy herd by the continuous use Of a
pure bred bull of a single dairy breed.
Four thousand three hundred and
twenty-one people attended the lectures
and manifested an unusual interest In
the subject of better dairying.

A work shirt made Of black or other
dark stuff is much warmer when worn
In the sunshine than lighter colored
shirts of the same weight for the rea-
son that instead of rejecting the rays
of the sun it absorbs them, thereby
greatly increasing the heat. 1t is true
that the black shirt doesn't show the
dirt as do shirts of lighter color, but
this is the only thing that can be said
in it's favor.
