Horne-Mixed Fertilizers are
Cheapest and Best

Practically all farmers who have
given home-mixing a thorough trial
are convinced that this is by far the
most economical and satisfactory
method of purchasing fertilizers. If
you will Sc nd us your name on
postal card with request therefor, we
will send you free, postpaid, leaflets
which give the opinions of many
successful farme rs in this and neigh
boring states regarding home-mixing.
We will also send a Gumber of for
mulas which were made up for us by
the Director Of the Vermont Expert
ment Station and which have been
used by many farmers in Verm Mt
with excellent success. We will also
give full directions for mixing fertil-
izer adapted to all the crops common
~ raised on Vermont farms.

Problems of the Vermont Farmer.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE


England. And when these sections
of the country, which are able to put
several money crops on the market,
and alive with progressiveness, take
up dairying it should tend to make
this New England farmer, with his
own money crop, stop and consider
carefully from whence his future sub
sistence is coming.
Yes, the time is ripe for the New
England farmer to get out of his
shell and to look more closely into his
business. His herd must be improved
and strict business principles prac-
ticed. He can no longer run in this
old rut in competition with the pro
gressive south and west. Records
must be kept on the Individual cows
as this is the only means by which
the poor cows can be detected and
weeded out. And records are not only
of value in locating the improbable
COWS but are of great help to the
feeder; if one knows just what each
cow is doing he can prepare the ra-
tions accordingly and SO feed more
economically.
The Holstein cow Bonostine's Belle
De Kol has just completed a IL
months test in which she gave 26950
pounds Of milk yielding 1860 pounds of
butter fat. And although we cannot
all expect to equal this record yet we
can all strive to approximate it.
Dairying with pure bred COWS is as
yet in its infancy, but the large in
crease in production which a pure
bred herd makes in comparisons with
! the average should be sufficient proof
| Il oiu
to keep pure bred herd. A 5000
good pure bred heifers are easily
bringing $500 and upwards. to be sure
it may seem like large expenditure
to start such herd, but a few heif
ers can be bought and then if there
is sufficient money left to buy gooc
bull, why not get together with ones
neighbors and organize bull asso
citation? When several farmers clut
together in this manner a few higt
priced bulls can be bought and no in
dividual will have to assume a yer!
heavy expenditure. And this bull as
ISOLATION will become the nucleus of ;
community breeding association which
will make the neighborhood famou
for it's pure bred animals. And thi
is what the buyer is looking for. H
does not want to waste time in trav
elIing to see one herd but deaires
get into a section where he can Sc
several and then by selecting a fey
animals from each herd get what h
, wishes.
AS was stated at the outset it j
obvious to the careful thinker that tn
New England butter market will
time be flushed from outside sources
E But there is sure to be continual
! increased demand for pure bred az
o high grade COWS and it behooves tn
q New England farmer to becon
q aware of this fact and prepare to Fl

CONGRESSIONAL POLITICS.

Elsewhere in this issue Judge
Frank D. Thompson of Barton an
nounces his candidacy for congress
from this district, the second Vermont
congressional district.
The present incumbent is the Hon.
Frank Plumley of Mortified. who
was elected to succeed Kittredge
Haskins of Brattleboro, in 1908, after
a close pre-. convention fight. The
campaign for Mr.. Plumley was waged
upon the superstition that Mr. Has
kins was allied with the Cannon fac
tion of the republican party and was
not therefore expressing the sentiment
of his constituents. Giving Mr..
Plumley all due regard for entering
upon his duties as stranger, there is
a general feeling said to be manifest
throughout the district that Mr..
Plumley has not lived up to the ex-
pectations of his supporters.
At this time therefore the so called
progressive" in the district, includ-
ing republicans Ol Ill pOlltlChl UelieIS,
supporters both of Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Taft and supporters of both Mr..
Plumley and Mr.. Haskins four years
ago, have pronounced that there shall
be a progressive" candidate for
Congress from this district and have
endorsed Mr.. Thompson.
Mr.. Thompson enters the fight with
the united support of many leading
men throughout the district and with
probably the solid support of Orleans,
Caledonia and Essex counties. This
with the support he is sure to receive
from Windham and Windsor counties
makes his candidacy formidable one
from the start and it will be pushed
from now to convention time with al
the vigor Judge Thompson and his
able supporters are capable of put
ting into political fight.

Why Savings Banks Are
EssenfiaI

Because people having money to
invest are often tempted by designing
persons to go inuo schemes which,
while promising large returns, usually
bring disaster.
Probably there are no more shreWd, |
far sighted, conservative investors of
money than successful life insurance
companies.
They employ expert men-men who
make the study Of investments their
life work; who pass upon all applica-
tons for loans and investments; and
it IS a fact which anyone can verify
by getting the insurance companies
reports, that four to five per cent
interest is all these companies are
able to make their loans average.
Those echemers who would go to
unsophisticated women Or inexperi-
enced men and tell them that they
could just as wei get six per cent az
four, we'll know that if their schemes
were solid, substantial and safe, they
could borrow money by the million
from these life insurance companies.
The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust Company CT Hyde Park
never takes note paying over six
per cent.
If any person brings paper to that
bank which will pay more than six
per cent, it turns it down, because it
wants no better evidence that it is
dangerous than the fact that it offers
to pay more than six per cent.
What is the result?
In it's more than twenty three years
of existence, this bank has never lost
dollar by poor note.
"Safety rather than high rates of
INTEREST," is it's motto; and, knowing
this, depositors, not only from Yer
mont, but from every State in the
Union Except three) select the Hyde
Park Bank as a place of deposit for
their savings.
You can send your funds there by
mail with absolute safety, anu it is
perfectly safe to send them either in
registered letter, postal money order,
bank draft, personal check, or ex-
press money order.
During the entire existence of the
Hyde Park Bank, not a dollar sent to
it by mail has ever been lost.
This bank pays four per cent, com
pounded semi annually, and pays al
taxes.
If you want to know all about its
assets, liabilities, management ETC.,
address a letter to Carroll S. Page,
President, CIR F. NJ. Culver, Treasurer
Hyde Park, Vermont, asking there
for, and you will receive prompt
reply.

Restore the Back Farms.
Scattered all through the hill towns
of Vermont are many farms that have
been given up for one cause or an
other. These were once fertile and
productive and could be made so
again.
In some of the towns, those fartbest
est away from the railroads and viii
lagos, there are whole school districts
with only few farms occupied where
there were once score or more.
Most of these farms have buildings
thereon that could be made habitable
at small expense.
We advocate the passage of law
exempting such farms and the stock
thereon from all taxation for period
of five to ten years, under suitable
restrictions, as an inducement for
people to buy and restore them to
their former state.
Provision should be made to widely
advertise this fact, and the low price
at which these farms can be bought,
outside Vermont, along the lines that
Secretary of State Bailey has worked
to such marked advantage the past
season.
We believe that such a law would
do much to solve two very important
questions, to increase the number Of
producers in Vermont and the popula-
ton of the farming towns and, by the
infusion of new blood. to change for
the better some of the conditions in
the way back towns of Vermont.
That such law would bring I'M
mediate results can not be questioned.
Hon. M. ]. Hapgood has tried sim
liar plan in Peru and was literally
swamped with applications for such
| farms.
We believe that ten thousand good
citizens could be added to the popula-
tion of Vermont in ten years by the
passage of such an act.-Morrisville
