A SAFE SAVINGS BANK.

There is every reason to believe
that the Savings Banks of Vermont
are all safe, sound and strong. That
the public so believe is evidenced by
the recent report of the Inspector of
Banks show ing almost un precedented
gains III deposits during the past
year. If the confidence in the safety
of Vermont Savings Banks, however,
is to be measured by the growth of
deposits, then unquestionably the
Hyde Park Savings Bank holds the
first place, for its percentage of in
crease in deposits during the three
fiscal years ending July /, 1910,
barring of course some recently
established banks upon which OF
course a percentage basis of increase
could not be computed, is more than
that of any other bank in the state.
Stated in terms that can be under
stood by all, the deposits in the Hyde
Park Savings Bank during the last
three years have exceeded the with
drawals by more than $1,000 for
each business day during the entire
three years. We know of no parallel
anywhere except in some of the large
City Banks.
The Hyde Park Bank pays 4 per
cent. interest. compounded semi
annually, and deposits made before
November 18th will draw interest
from October 1st. 1t pays the taxes
on all deposits up to $4,000 and the
Lamoille County National Bank Of
HYDE Park, under the same manage
ment, will accept. upon the same
terms. any sums in excess Of this
$4,000.
AS evidencing the safety of making
deposits by mail. it may be stated
that in the more than twenty one
years OF it's existence. not a dollar oi

BUSINESS MEN DINE
Third Annual Banquet Given
by the Windsor County Com
mittee of the Y. M. c. A.

Another successful occasion to the
credit of the Windsor County Com
mittee of Young Mems Christian
Associations was the third annual
business mems dinner held at the
Woodstock Inn Friday evening, Oct.
81. There was large attendance,
about one hundred guests sitting
down to the tables; good speaking,
good music and good fellowship.
A reception for the arriving diners
was held from 7 80 to s 30.
Ex-Gov. Fletcher d. Proctor made
an excellent toastmaster, and in
opening the after dinner exercises
spoke very appreciatively of the late
George Aitken and his connection
with the Y. M. @. A.
He introduced Frederick Billings,
who in brief word of welcome in
behalf of the committee, also paid
tribute TO Mr.. Altken.
Hon Joseph A. DeBoer of Mont
pelier was the next speaker. His
subject was Cooperation" and he
gave several happy illustrations of
the necessity of united work in the
accomplishment of great tasks.
DIR. George j. Fisher of New York,
international secretary for physical
training of the Y M. @. A. of North
America. was the last speaker, and
he was listened to with special inter
est, as he has been heard here before
with much pleasure. He spoke on
1.-The Physical and Social Recon-
struction of the Rural Community"
and he discussed the country prob
lem of the Y M. @. A. with much
clearness and vigor
At the guests table. besides the
speakers, were Rev, R. Leblanc
Lynch, w. N. Campbell, DIR. F.
Thomas Kidder and Rev. Benjamin
Swift of Woodstock H. G. Pease of
Hartford; b. l.. Boyle and Rev.

pleasure of the guests.

Squirrels as Game.

Gray squirrels are reported to be so
abundant in the Adirondacks that the
forest, fish and game commissioner
thinks there is no necessity for a
closed season, but that the law should
provide that no hunter kill more
than ten squirrels a day, says the
Jamestown, IN. W Post. Consid-
ering the slight commercial or food
value of squirrels, the state might
very well prohibit the killing of the
little animals on the state property
and thus add to its attractiveness to
visitors. Shooting squirrels is hardly
"a sport worthy of real hunter,
anyhow.

The Poultry House.

A chief reason for providing house
for the hens is to give them shelter
from the severe cold, but there is dan
ger of OVERRIDING. this. A henhouse
is comfortable enough, even for lay
ing hens, If its interior is kept from
going much below the freezing point.
A dry, well ventilated house may be
quite cold and yet be comfortable for
active fowls. Plenty Of litter to
scratch in during the day and burlap
curtains at night will see them safely
through even severe weather without
loss of health or stoppage Of egg pro
duction If the feeding and other condi-
tions are correct. = Western Poultry

Where large punches Of hogs are FED
on the same lot year after year disease
IS almost sure to take its toll In time
unless thorough cleaning and disinfect-

accumulate season after season. the
ground becomes filthy, needs air, and
when real favorable time comes the
hogs win suffer. Where possible about
the best way to clean lot is to piow

Glover For Horses.

1t has been shown by experiment
that horses will make larger gains In
flesh and fat on clover or alfalfa hay
than on any other kind of hay. Glover
must be fed more sparingly than tim

condition. Glover and blue grass pas
ture is unexcelled for putting young
and old horses in good flesh and for
giving them spirit and action.

The Hartland Nature Club.

nc IIdI tldIlu MANURE OIuD.
The programs given below have
been accepted as guides to nature
study in the Hartland schools for
IoIo-II.
l. Plant Study.
The following outline was sug-
gested as a guide to the work that
might be done in plant study:
1. The reference books to be used
as guides-Bulletin No. 73, on The
Trees of Vermont; Bulletin No. I45,
on Vermont Shrubs and Woody
Vines, as these are already in the
schools. All other helps from books
and persons are permissible.
.. Trees and shrubs or either
alone.
Fall term-Shrubs identified by
fruits.
Winter term-Shrubs, continued /;
trees, identified by bark and by buds.
Spring term-Shrubs, continued,
identified by leaves and by flowers.
3. Forms of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
and oral descriptions, collections,
drawings, photographs, lists Of plants
within one-fourth mile OF the school
house, written description, nature
books read.
III. Insect Studies.
The suggestions by Mason S.
Stone, state superintendent of edu-
cation, as embodied in the Teachers
Manual, issued by the department
of education of the state Of Vermont,
contain much excellent material for
nature study. The outline Of nature
study prepared by Prin. E. J. Best
of Enosburgh Falls and commencing
on page IS Of this manual, contains
suggestions for the study of insects
by the schools that seem to this COM
mittee ample as well as authoritative.
We urge that teachers make use of
this outline especially as it relates to
insect study. See pages 69, II, and
81.
III. Animal and Bird Study.
Birds
1. Keep list of migrating birds
H.
2. Make a special study of the
partridge or ruffled grouse. Let each
pupil write an essay on this subject,
illustrating it, if possible, with pic
lures and original drawings.
3. Using Bird Bulletin No. 2 as a
basis for study, maintain winter
feeding stations as therein described.
Place feeding platform a short
distance from the schoolhouse, keep
list of all birds that visit it, study
their habits, also study description
OF these birds as given in the Bulle-
tin. Colored pictures Of these birds
may be obtained at two cents each
from the Brown Picture Co., Beverly,
Mass.
4. Begin in March to keep record
of the returning birds. Encourage
original observati ms, but be careful
to verify all facts reported by pupils
before putting them on record.
Animals
/. Make list OF wild animals
seen in Harland by the pupils or their
i friends.
2. Make special study of the
deer. Read hunting tales, write
stories, have debates on the protec-
ton or non-protection of the deer in
our state.
8. Study squirrels from actua
observation-red. gray, chipmunk
flying.
| a. For writer, make specia
study of the fox and the two rabbits
jack and cotton tail.
