A Cheap Fertilizer for Oats.

Farmers having a light, sandy
soil, or whose farms are a fair loan
but which have been exhausted by
ong-continued cropping without
much fertilizer, will find it still pos
sible to raise fair crops by the use
of Fertilizing Salt This kind of
fertilizer apears to give especially
good results on Oats. 1t not only
makes the straw sitter, consequent
ly making the crop less liable to
lodge and rust, but also keeps the
ground moist and so insures a better
catch when grass seed is sown with
the oats.
A very desirable Salt for fertiliz-
ing purposes is sold by G. S. Page,
Hyde Park, VT. 1t is more valuable
than most cheap salts, as it contains
more or less refuse matter which
comes from the hides on which it
has been used. The price is only
$3.50 per ton, f. o. b. Hyde Park,
and the, freights are moderate, es-
pecially on IL ton carloads. He
can make prompt shipments and full
particulars will be given on request.

The muddle caused by the Massa-
chusetts primaries of April 30
throws a good deal of doubt on the
usefulness of such proceedings as
a means of finding out the will of
the people. Revised figures show
gain by President Taft in the pop
ular vote and a recount will
probably be taken to determine the
number of voters whose ballots were
thrown out because they marked
the names of nine delegates-at-large
instead of eight The Taft leaders
are wisely content to accept the sit
uation as it stands with an evenly
divided delegation of IS delegates
for the president and 1 8 for Roose-
welt at the Chicago convention. Taft
was clearly the choice of a majority
of the Massachusetts, voters and
would have had a big majority of
the delegates but for the unfortu-
nate mistake of permitting so many
names to appear on the ballot
Roosevelt carried five congressional
districts out of the IA. On the
democratic side Gov. Foss, whose
name was not on the preference part
of the ballot, got Is of the delegates
to the Baltimore convention, while
21 are unpledged The preference
of the democrats was strong for
Clark in the contest against Wilson,
but the democratic vote was very
light.
Maine enjoys the distinction, if
such it can be called, of being the
only New England state to give a
majority to the candidate for the
third term and the sponsor for the
overthrow of established tribunals
of Justice. The states line up as fol-
lows on the representatives to ex-
press the will of the people in the
nomination of a republican candi-
date for our next president

Now where does the rule of the
people come in? Are we any better
off by changing from one system of
nomination to another. Was the
will of the Massachusetts people any
more freely and fairly expressed
under a primary election than that
of the Vermont people under the
old method? is the change of one
set of bosses to another going to
help matters any? 1t would appear
that our definition of a boss will
have to be revised, for the people
are asked to believe that a man
who favors Theodore Roosevelt as
leader, perhaps as near like Lin
coin as any man but one in the coun-
try. can be, while a man who engages
in political activity in behalf of any
one else is a boss to be insulted,
maligned and pulled down. The
campaign is getting disgusting and
many observers are becoming tired
of the whole performance.-[T The

Live Stock and Dairy.

If you are a little short OF feed get
rid Of the poor cows and replace them
with good ones Don't keep cows;
make them keep you.
Farmers should learn that, while al.
falfa hay is one Of the finest of feeds
for COWS, yet green alfalfa is rather
dangerous. particularly so if it has
been frosted
Early breeding tends to develop
heavy mixers. and by good care and
feeding this can be accomplished with
cut dwarfing the size or weakening the
constitution Of the COW or her progeny.
Many young feeders make the great
mistake Of trying to push their cattle
too rapidly. Never forget that the best
and biggest gains are made the first
month on the smallest amount of grain
It is not big gains that pay; it is eco
nomical gains.
All cows that are weak. thin ana
coughing must be removed from the
nerd. Milk from unhealthy cows is not
safe 70 use. and only cows In good
health can make profitable use OF the
food given them. The herd should be
inspected at regular intervals by a
competent veterinarian.
