It is apparent that the detection from
the Republican ranks was not as large
as was threatened, or rather that the
aecretions Of tile Democratic side were
not as large as were anticipated by the
Democratic leaders. Republicans who
sougat TO enter protest against Mead
did 50 by RETAINING from voting for the
head Of any ticket, rather than by yot-
ing for the Democratic candidate. II Is
evident from certain sections, notably
Washington county. that this protest
was considerable. For instance, Mont
pelier. which is a Republican stronghold,
shifted to the Democratic column ii the
goyernorship contest and at the same
time maintained a good Republican ma
jority in an the other positions. North

Republican candidate for lieutenant gov.

Among the smaller towns, Berlin. for
example, gave 100 votes to Slack and
only IS to the mead Of the ticket. Those
cases illustrate the feeling Of the people
around central Vermont. That was
shared to more or less extent throughout
the state: but the dissatisfaction was
not general enough to make itself felt
in the shape Of great protest. 1t was

tent, but still is worth listening TO BY

phenomenon which is explained as 1ol-
lows: "A perihelion is an attendant
image, more or less distinct, of the
suns disc, which may appear with any
halo at one, two or more points near

seldom appear at once at more than

BONES-Subscriber. Novato How are bones
intended to be used for fertlllzing purposes pre-
pared?
First they are boiled for the oil and
glue or gelatine in them, which does
not materially affect their value as a
fertilizer. They are then ground or
crushed without being previously
burned. This is done by placing the
bones under heavy revolving wheels or
passing them through toothed iron
rollers. The crushed bone is soWn
broadcast at the rate of from 90 to lOo
pounds to-the acre. Bones are also cal
cined and ground and used for fertiliz-
ing purposes.
