PRESENT NOTE
TO TURKEY
Representatives Of Balkan Ma
tions Break Peace Negotiations
REPLY EXPECTED TOMORROW
Allies Convinced that Young Turks
Must Renew War to Retain
Prestige.

London, Jan. 30.-The peace nego-
tiations, which reached a deadlock
over the cession of Adrianople on the
9Th, were finally broken yesterday by
note which the plenitentiaries of the
allied Balkan nations presented to Re
chad Pasha, head of the Turkish dele
CATION Notwithstanding this rup-
ture, there are still optimists in the
diplomatic world who hope that re
sumption of the war may yet be
averted, either through fresh propo-
sails that Turkey is reported to be in
Guiding in the note which she will de-
liver to the powers today, or through
the fall of Adrianople before actiyi-
ties can be begun again at the Tcha-
talja lines.
A majority of the Balkan delegates
refuse to admit the likelihood of eth
er contingency, believing that the life
OF the Young Turk government de-
ponds upon the resumption OF the
war, even though the allies were will
ing to postpone the conflict They
are of the opinion that the present
failure of diplomacy is, at the worst,
only an interlude, however, for they
leave four representatives in London
to undertake the settlement anew.
The text of the note was as fol-
lows: THE plenipotentiaries of the
allied Balkan states having since the
suspension of the work of the peace
conference awaited in vain for three
weeks the reply of the Ottoman plen-
ipotentiaries to their last demands,
and events which have occurred in
Constantinople appearing to them to
have destroyed the hope of arriving
at the conclusion of peace, they are,
TO their great regret, obliged to de-
clare that the peace negotiations com
menced in London on December 16
last are broken of" The note, is will
be observed, does not denounce the
armistice. This will devolye on the
governments of the Balkan states
when they consider the moment OPP
perfume.
Rechad Pasha, after receiving the
note. said: THE consequences may
be of the gravest nature. The res
possibility lies not alone with the al
lies, but with the powers, who en-
couraged the Balkan states and have
shown no fairness toward Turkey, al
though before the war they had SOL
EMMY proclaimed the principle of the
unchangeability of the status quo"

on sickness as a visitation of the Evil

Mrs. John v. o. S. Merritt

Caroline Reed Robinson, wife OF
John V. D. S. Merrill, attorney at
law, and daughter of the late Daniel
of the old Troy and Boston railroad,
passed away at the Robinson home
stead in Old Bennington Tuesday.
Jan. %, at 12:45, after brief illness
that baffled the best medical skill.
She was born in Troy, N. Y. on
March q, 1850, and grew to woman
hood in that city, tho since chilo-
hood she passed the summer months
at the old homestead on the hill.
She completed her education at the
Troy Female Seminary under the late
Frances Willard, the famous precep-
tress, becoming an accomplished
French and German scholar.
She was married to Mr. Merrill
April 16, 1885, and came directly to
Old Bennington to live permanently.
The beautiful residence and grounds
occupying the site of the old Cata
mount Tavern, now the property of
Mrs. George Lane, was built and laid
out by Mr.. Merrill in anticipation OF
their marriage in 1885, but 1t was the
future bride who planned and had
oversight of the details.
Mrs. Merrill organized the public
library at Old Bennington, now con-
tanning upward of 5000 volumes, and
selected practically all the purchased
works She was a member of the
Old First church, and all her adult
life was a teacher in its Sunday
school. A great lover of children,
she was an ideal instructor and pri-
vately tutored many neighborhood
children in French and German. She
was devoted to church work, and tho
not a religious enthusiast, had an I'M
faltering faith in her God and Saviour
She was the author, in collabora-
ton with her husband, of that classic
entitled Historic Bennington, which
has run through many editions and
is to be found in most of the public
Libraries and colleges in the country
and in hundreds of private collec-
tons.
She was great lover of nature,
and especially of flowers and shrubs,
and marvellous creations came into be-
ing under the touch of her magic
hand
She possessed most loving and
lovable, most noble and loyal charac-
ter, as sweet as charity and steadfast
as the rockribbed hills. She will be
sadly missed in the community OF
which she was such an active and
valued member. But lest we forget,
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the
north-winds breath,
And stars to set; but all,
Thou hast all seasons for
thine own, o death
Besides her husband, deceased
leaves two sisters, Miss Mary and
Miss Lulu Robinson. who occupy the
old homestead, and one brother, John
A. of Boston.
The funeral will be held from the
old Daniel Robinson homestead on
Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Her
pastor, Rev. Isaac Jennings, will of.
fciate. lnterment will be In the fam
lily lot in Old Bennington cemetery

LOSS OF THE FEBRUARY
LITTER

A Wisconsin swine breeder, in an
endeavor to get his pigs in mar
ket condition as early as possible
in the fall, had several sows farrow
in February. The sows and young
ones were confined in small breed
ing pens in a large barn which was
kept warm by steam heat.
The little pigs grew Justify, but
the breeder began feeding them
corn meal before they were wean-
ed. This fattening food, in con-
nection with the lack of exercise,
not only disabled the sows but
brought the youngsters down with
tliumps. The litter was almost a
total loss.
This loss might easily have been
prevented. Had the little pigs been
provided with a large, roomy pen
AID forced to take. exercise. AMI
had they been fed On heterogeneous
foods rather than corn, they would
have entered the spring pasture in
fair condition for summer gains,
rot as good, perhaps, as the later
narrowed l~itters, but good enough
to justify the extra trouble entailed
in raising them.
If a swine breeder cannot pro-
vide early litters with warm accn1-
modations and an exercising place
it would be cheaper in the end to
Kill them as soon as born.

In cold weather ducks should be
kept in the house, because their
feet are SO tender that when they
come in contact with the ground
they suffer greatly, and hobble

broken.
Provide plenty of clean bedding,
and change it frequently. Straw

floors all the time. If bedding ma
terial is plentiful put it on several
inches thick. 1t will help to keep
the ducks comfortable, and also

HINTS ON FEEDING.

1t does seem that when a farm
er makes up his mind to shovel two
or three thousand bushels Of corn
into a lot of steers he would take
the precaution to select the kind Of
animals that will make the best use
of it.
One reason why so many farm-
ers who feed cattle come out the
little end Of the horn is because all
steers look alike to them and they
think they are saving money by
buying animals whose first cost is
low.
If we cannot afford a silo we can
certainly afford a field of horned
turnips or mangels. They are not
equal to silo, Of course, but thew

therefore increase its value.

and a couple of dozen screws and
a half days time will make every
thing snug and tight for the Win

QUESTIONS ABOUT NELL
OTUS.

How much hay will melilotus
make per acre, and how often can
it be cut: (2) Is the hay of good
quality, and will the stock eat it?
ca Can melilotus be gotten rid Of
when desired? Cd How much
seed should be used per acre, and
when should it be sowed? 60
Will it grow on any kind of soil?
I. The yield of hay made by
melilotus will, like other crops, de-
pend on the season and the fer
tility Of the soil. From two to
three tons to the acre is often
made. At the Alabama s%ubstation,
at Uniontown, two experiments
gave an average yield Of 1894
pounds of hay the first year, and
1854 pounds the second year. In
the South it may be cut twice the
first year, and two or three times
the second year.
?. The hay is rich in nutritive
value. If cut before too large
growth is made. it is Of good quail
ity. If allowed to get too large
and coarse, the quality of the hay
is not so good. Livestock do not
like melilotus at first, either when
green or when cured as hay; but
all kinds of stock soon learn to eat
it, and then apparently become
fond of it.
3. Melilotus is chiefly a bien-
nial-that is, it lives two years,
making seed the second year, and
then dying. If prevented from
making seed, it dies and is there
fore easily killed on cultivated
land
4. From twenty to twenty-five
pounds Of seed should be used Der
acre for a good stand, and early
spring is probably the best time to
SOW. 1t may, however, be sowed
in the fall.
5. In the observation of the
writer. it will grow on almost any
kind Of soil that contains lime. It
IS stated in Farmers Bulletin No,
485 that it will grow on sour soils,
but III the South, it is seldom OF
never seen On any except lime
soils. 1t will grow on poor soils
even on the bare rotten limestone
outcropplngs Of eastern Mississippi;
and western Alabama. and COCO
drainage is not so important as
With alfalfa and red clover. AT the
West Tennessee Experiment Sta.
ton, near Jackson, the writer saw
a good growth Of melilotus on lane
naturally deficient in lime, but te
which had been made a liberal ap
plication Of ground limestone.
