Farmers rlix Your Own Fertilizers
DO you know that home mixing
Of fertilizers has proved to be the
most economical and satisfactory
method of procuring fertilizers7 1t
is now generally conceded by up-to-
date agriculturists that better results
are obtained by buying the crude
materials and mixing fertilizers
especially adapted to the different
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 a request therefore, we
will send you, free, postpaid, num-
Der of formulas which were made
NJ for us bv the Director of the
Vermont Experiment Station and
which have been used bv many Yer
mont farmers with excellent success
We will also give full directions for
mixing fertilizers adapted to all the
crops commonly raised on Vermont

The cossaok,s Whip.

People who are unacquainted
with Russia and who read of street
disturbances being suppressed by
the Cossacks with their whips have
little idea of what formidable weap-
ons these are. Made of hard leath-
er and tapering to fine point, they
are triangular in shape, and the
Cossack, who knows how to bring
the edge down upon his victim, can
infict a wound that is not infre-
quently fatal. A favorite stroke is
one by which the eye and a portion
of the cheek are cut.

ensued noise like boiler shop

evade seemingly impending catas-
