been varied and of credit to the state.
This year, as in the past, only Vermont
grown exhibits will be permitted to
compete for prizes.
Among the special features this year
will be: the exhibits made under the d.
rection of the five county agricultural
agents at work in the state, by demon
strators and others interested in the
Farm-Management Field Studies and
Demonstration Plot work, the Grange
Department, etc.
The exhibit made by the Windsor
County Boys and Girls Poultry club will
be one of the attractions as will the ex-
hibits to be made by the various school
and community corn clubs.

From Mankato, Mimi, comes the re-
port that thousands of bushels of the
finest fall and winter apples are rotting
on the ground because of the lack of a
market. Haven't they heard of New
York City out in Minnesota? The mar
ket in New York is crying out for ap-
Piles. The markets in all the large cities
of the East are crying out for apples.
The crop is all but failure in many of
the best apple growing sections of the
East from which New York and the
other markets get their annual supply
That being the case, it looks like Min
nesota's opportunity to reap rich
harvest from its apples. 1t is terrible
waste of opportunity for the apple
growers in that state to allow the APP
pies to remain on the ground and rot
because of the supposed lack of the
opportunity to sell them. Apple market
quotations, moreover, show that high
prices are being paid for the good grades
of the fruit, and the prices are bound
to increase as the weeks advance into
the winter. Thousands of bushels" of
apples would bring big returns to Mimi
esota this year. Next year the eastern
sections probably will have their big
yields and Minnesota will lose its OPP
portunty. Barre Times.

FEATHERS AND EGGsHELLs.

Express companies refuse to stand
loss on baby chicks and they really
cannot be blamed for it, as they really
cannot tell whether chicks are dead
or dying when accepted for transpor-
tation. The shipper is nearly always
to blame and the reason is nearly al
ways weak chicks, crowding, a weak
container or lack of air or covering.
The six New England states need
not go to Missouri to be shown. The
census shows that Missouri produced
100000 dozen, or twice as many
eggs, plus 100000 dozen, as all New
England put together. Now, there, you
Yankee bean eaters!
A safe way to stock a poultry plant
is to go to a reliable poultryman at
the close of the Matching season and
select a bunch or two or three-year-
old hens from his surplus breeders. If
you are not an expert, pay one to go
along to help make the selection. Mate
these hens to vigorous males. Thus
you know the source of your stock and
can be sure of good birds at a fair
outlay.
The only way TO be sure you aren't
violating the rot and spot law is to
candle your eggs. This takes little
time and is simple, and really the man
is a simpleton who runs the risk be-
cause he refuses to "bother" or for a
few extra measly cents will try to get
off rotten eggs on the public.
Massachusetts has a law that COM
his fruit trees so that they may not
be menace to others. Every state
ought to have this law and also one
that would compel the owner of fowls
to keep them in such style that they
would he free from disease so that they
might not transmit the same to other
fiocks.
One day when we went into a pen
where there were siXty-6ve hens and
gathered siXty-two eggs, a visitor de-
manded, whats your secret for high

Mary Baker Allen chapter, D. A. R.,
held its September meeting on the 9th

substantial noon luncheon was served at
which Mrs. Taylor was presented with
birthday cake and other gifts. A
short.poem written for the occasion
was read by one of the chapter. About
thirty members and guests were present
and an interesting program rendered.
Miss A. Sadie Fellows, a member of
the Abiel Fellows chapter of Three
Rivers, Mich, gave an entertaining
sketch of the work of that chapter.
The principal business of the afternoon
was the election of delegates to the an
nual convention to be held at Brattle-
boro on October 22nd. The following
ladies were elected: Mrs. A. W. Foote,
Mrs. Roy Bingham, Mrs. Merrill Field.
Alternates, Miss Katharine Griswold,

Mrs. M. A. Hamilton of Portland, Me,
Mrs. E. F. Townsend, Mrs. E. u. Farm

the meeting pleasant one. Adjourned

4 LOVE THEM ALL,

I love the days when fondelays
Are heard from field and tree,
When greeted by the robin,
Wren and sprightly chickadee;
When the blue bird and the brown thrush
Sing sweet carols in the morn
And hear the bobwhite whistling
From the wheatfields and the corn.
love the hours when from the bowers
Sweet roses watt their breath,
When lilies rise from wintry sleep
And tell of conquered death,
When the incense from the blossoms
Ascends like an angels prayer
And the fragrant zephyrs whisper,
God made this world SO fair"
love the days when golden rays
Ripen the waving grain.
When the reaper's song is borne along
From echoing hill and plain,
When orchards bend with golden fruit
And clusters bend the vine
And the land oerfiows with wheat and
corn
And honey, milk and wine.
love the time when buEh and vine
Are turned to brightest red,
When autumn glory paints the wood
And southwark birds have fed,
When the air is sharp with shining frost
And the trees are brown and gold
And squirrels are busy bearing nuts
To their hidden winter hold.
love the sight of world in white,
Covered with glistening snow,
The snowfiakes dancing merrily
AS strong winds roar and blow;
When Christmas chimes and sleighbells
join
In music full of cheer
And sit by the family freside
With those to me most dear.

on the scarcity of apples and the failure
of other fruits, a well known local fruit
dealer stated to-day that he had never
witnessed such a dearth of native fruit
as that of the present year. Apples,
whenever obtainable for the trade, must
be purchased in the Boston markets,
where they are received from the coast
orchards. Locally, Oregon fruit is re-
tailed at prices unusually high. A single
apple brings nickel and dozen are

kURIos FROM koRREsPoNDENTs

Q. / note the standard calls for a
five point leghorn comb. I have ten
birds that have from seven to nine
points, while the rest, cock and FIVE
hens, have from three to FIVE. Is it
possible by mating to get a five point
comb on every bird? A. No. You can
counteract the tendency to so many
points by breeding from those that
have few. Your cock and hens ought
to give you fair number of five point
combs.
Q. My Rhode Island Red chicks are
q disappointment to me. Their par
ents are standard color, but the young
ones have some black in wings. back
and breast. What is the cause? A.
This is not unusual for Reds, and your
chicks will likely be alright when their
adult feathers appear.
@. Do you suppose lack Of meat is
the cause Of chicks eating each others
toes? A. While chicks hungry for
meat are apt to gobble each others
toes, especially when for any cause
the blood starts, we note that chicks
on a good grass range seldom indulge
in cannibalism. There they get greens,
and are too busy chasing bugs to
bother about each others trilbys.
Q. How does the egg travel down the
oviduct round or pointed end toward
the outlet and nearer which end of egg
does the chick cut its circle? A. Egg
travels pointed toward outlet. Nearer
large end.

DROP SANE FOURTH.
New York May Abandon Reform Cele-
bration This Year.

New York, May 23.-The proposed
safe and sane celebration of the
Fourth of July in New York may be
abandoned through the failure of the
city to make any appropriation to bear
the expenses. The finance committee
of the board of aldermen yesterday
voted unanimously not to approve lhe
proposed appropriation of $4,000 on
the ground that the city could not af-
ford al this time to deplete it's special
revenue fund for the celebration.
There is still a hope that the board
of estimate will act but if that body
fails to make the appropriation there
may be no celebration as Herman Rid
der, president of Maynor Gaynor's
Fourth of July committee has declared
he will abandon the scheme rather
than appeal for public subscriptions.
