ABOUT BLUEBERRIES.

Professor Coville, botanist for the
department of agriculture, has been
making somewhat exhaustive exper-
mental study of the BURBERRY and its
habits. He reports that the berries
will only do well on a decidedly acid
soil, pure sand and peat being an ideal
combination. His experiments have
involved the selection of superior wild
strains. the growing of hybrids and
the forcing of those varieties to early
fruiting. Thus far berries eleven-siX-
teenths of an inch in diameter have
been produced. Professor Coville re-
ports that the only commercial planta-
ton for BURBERRY culture that he has
been able to find is located near Elk
hart, Ind. This comprises little less
than two and a half acres and has
yielded in most favorable seasons as
high as $1.47 per acre net

Forest N ote s.

There are about 81 pines native to the
United States, of which % are western
species, and II eastern.
Paraguay has valuable forest re-
sources, the most importantant of
which is quebracho, particularly rich in
tannn.
Much of the cork used throughout the
world comes from Portugal, which
harvests about 90 600 tons year.
Germany is said to have an over
supply of foresters so that we'll
educated men have hard work to secure
even inferior positions.
One of the largest forest nurseries in
the United States is conducted by the
forest service near Haugen, Montana.
1t is known as the Savenac nursery and
has capacity of 100000 young trees
year.
The forests of Norway are mostly in
private or municipal ownership, the
nation owning rs. 5 per cent of the total
forest area. The national forests of
the United States occupy only about
twenty per cent of the total forest area
of the country.

A HOMEMADE FLY TRAP.

A very effective fly trap can be made
In the following manner: Saw circu-
lar hole three inches in diameter In an
inch board twelve inches square. This
will serve as the bottom of the trap.
Into the hole cut insert funnel Of
wire screen, which should fit fly tight
and taper to a hole just large enough
to admit fly at the smaller end Cut
another piece of board twelve inches
square for the top of the trap; also
four strips l by inches and about
two feet long, letting these serve as
the corner pieces between the top and
bottom boards Tack wire screening
to this framework and place four
short legs to the bottom board, and
the dingus is ready for business. The
flies con be encouraged to go beneath
the trap by putting some sweetened
water or molasses there. They will
go from the dish containing this into
the funnel and will begin to go up,
finally crawling through the narrow
opening and being on the inside. The
writer has seen gallons of flies caught
with one of these traps at the rear Of
grocery stores.

If a boy lights out into the country
and gets n summers job or gets other
work TO do and makes his time count
in the gaining of information and ex-
perience. 1t is fair to assume that he
will get somewhere. If, on the other
hand, he fools his time away and does
no useful work and is Of no particular
use around home. put 1t down that he
is n loafer or drifter and IS lacking in

Bristol Man Shot Through Acct
dent.

Ira White of Bristol, about 40 years
old, was brought to Mary Fletcher hos
pital Sunday suffering from a bad
gunshot wound sustained that day. His
condition while serious is not considered
critical at hospital. Mr. White was shot
by Howard Levarn Sunday afternoon
northwest of Bristol village, Levarn
mistaking him for a gray squirrel.
Some of the shot lodged in the chest,
neck, cheek and forehead The shot
which hit him in the cheek caused the
loss of the sight of one eye. Drs. Ed
munds and Norton were called and after
dressing the wounds as well as possible
took the patient to Mary Fletcher hos
pital in Burlington. He lost a large
quantity of blood which left him
weakened. Mr.. White was wearing a
gray cap when he was taken to be a
gray squirrel by Mr.. Levarn.

PREPARING FOR ALFALFA.

II the plat chosen for the alfalfa field
Is not well supplied with fertility it
should be given a dressing of from
eight to ten tons of barnyard manure
per acre, and the lime can be applied
with the manure If convenient. 1t has
been found that alfalfa grows most
thrifty when the soil is inoculated
with the nitrogen fixing bacteria. This
may be done either by mixing with the
manure at the rate Of about 400 pounds
per acre soil from an established alfal-
ia field or treating the seed direct with
some reliable nitrogen culture. The
soil should be put In fine filth and the
seed corn sown to the depth Of an inch
and at the rate of eighteen to twenty
pounds per acre. Northern grown seed
is best. Best results are secured by
using a disk drill and putting half the
seed In one way and the other half at
right angles to this. The growth made
the first season should be left to pro-
vide a covering for the snow where
winter protection is needed. From the
first Of July to the middle of Augustus
q period in which the seed may be
sown, a majority Of the experiment
stations recommending the first week
or ten days in August AS in a good
many other enterprises, 1t is a good
plan to try q patch of from three to
Eve acres the first year, increasing the
acreage In succeeding years as one
gets first hand experience.

The Rutland Evening News says:
President John NJ. Thomas of Middle
bury college touched upon subject
which is of great interest to many COM
munities in this, as well as in many
other states, when in the course of an
address before the Vermont Kings
Daughters at Burlington he said:
1--WE need greatly in our own state
additional investiga tions, eth + by our
own folk or others, of the field of our
country churches. These investiga-
tions should be along somewhat broad
lines, not so much to determine whether
the churches of the country districts
have been making progress or retro
grading, as to determine the actual
problem and situation of those churches
today.
Heretofore there has been no care
full distinction between the country
church situated in the open fields or in
some small hamlet, and the churches in
villages and towns. We have differt n
tiated between strong aud weak
churches and have assumed that all
churches of small membership might be
destined some day to become large. We
have not considered that there were
churches so situated that they would
always remain small in membership
and in comparison with others feeble
in organization, which nevertheless hac
a definite and inspiring task for then
own environment.
THAT this is the fact, and that fact
we should contemplate a country
church which must be judged not by it,
increase or decrease in membership
but by its service in the community
life, is evident to ANY one who ha
studied these surveys.

Eleven thousand Union veterans died
during the year which ended on Deem
Ger 18th last and it is safe to say that
as many or more have or will have died
at the end of this year and yet, we had
last year roll of 1901 veterans of
the Grand Army of the Republic. This
is large list of survivors, when we
realize that the war closed AZ years

long list of living heroes as mere boys
fought on that side even as they did in
