BENEFITS OF BUSINESS MEMS
GET TOGETHERS.

Like Burlington, Rutland has decided
that the way to progress is through the
stomach and, in consequence, it is hold
ing weekly get-together dinners which
are attended by the business men of the
city. The former city has been indulg;
ing in that sort of thing for several
months and the dinners seem to be well
patronized and successful as far as the
casual observer might judge. There is
no doubt that such informal get-togeth-
err gatherings once each week, with an
address by some well-posted person on a
subject of direct interest, can serve to
bring the business interests of COM
munity into closer and less suspicious
relationship. One great trouble with the
usual business life of the average Yer
mont community is that the men en-.
gagged in the various activities are not
brought into closer touch with each 9th
er than is possible under a system of
an annual banquet or so of some of the
leading organizations of the community.
In this connection perhaps one para
graph from the address of Judge Frank
i. Fish of the superior court of Yer
mont in addressing the weekly gather
ing in Rutland on Thursday best pre-
sents the possibilities of such co-opera-
ton. Judge Fish said:
"You business men represent the great
est force in Rutland. With you is the
fate of this city. 1t is for you to say
whether new and better things, or the
old, be the lot of Rutland. This organ
ization can bring about anything it sees
fit in this city. You men should touch
elbows all the week and through all hon
orable. fair and just means, work to
make Rutland what it is designed to be:
The best possible rural city in New Eng
land"
In those words of Judge Fish, while
applied particularly to Rutland, there is
something which all the larger communi-
ties of Vermont may take home to
themselves. They can all derive a spirit
of optimism when they get together and
recount the advantages which they have
and discount the disadvantages; and
such optimism must inevitably result in

CURRENT COMMENT
The "Seizure" of Panama.

There are a lot of people in the
United States who are displeased with
TIE course of President Roosevelt at the
time of the Panama revolution. Ihey
say that he melted the revolution ana
then recognized the newly Matched re-
public before its feathers were dry. And
Colombia is still grieyed because of fail
ed to drive the hard bargain with us
for the canal rights on the isthmus. 1t
is now trying to persuade President Will
son to atone for what it regards as the
wrongs done to it by President Roose-
welt, And we have been told that all
South America feels outraged because
of the "despoilng" of Colombia.
The address, therefore, of former
Argentine foreign minister on Monday
when an honorary degree was conferred
on Col. Roosevelt in Buenos Ayres Is
worth noting at this time. The Argen-
tine statesman congratulated the former
president for his alertness in the Pana-
ma crisis and defended his course and
said that if the United States did not
dominate in the Caribbean the republics
would ask European countries to come
to their assistance. The speaker pre-
ferred that the Monroe doctrine should
be preserved as live principle of Ameri-
can international law rather than that
that there should be European interven-
ton of any kind, and he regarded the in
reference in Panama as righteous APP
plication of the Monroe doctrine. 1t is
probable that other South American
statesmen hold the same view.

st. Adams Wants Teachers Convention.

The Burlington merchants are being
urged by The Free Press to get together
and make a combined effort to secure
the holding of the state teachers con-
vention in their city next year. AS the
Burlington merchants have live asso-
citation and are out after all of the good
things, much urging will not be neces-
sary.
The contemporary admits frankly that
Burlington is not the possessor of
suitable convention hail. but it proposes
to makeup this deficiency by supplying
several halls where meetings of the va
rious branches of the association might
be held.
The convention this year was held in
Montpelier, where the teachers were Civ
en- a most hospitable reception. Private
homes were thrown open to the visitors,
and there was no complaint of lack of
comfortable quarters. Montpelier admit
tedly is as well, if not better, equipped
with an auditorium as any other city in
the state. But it is not the custom to
hold the convention twice in the same
city if satisfactory arrangements can be
made in another place.
1t occurs to The Messenger that it
NOulu bt a EOOu AhdiAN why's IA
st. Adams could secure the convention
next year. 1t is understood that the Sc
lection of the fortunate city has been
left to the executive committee OF the
association. Surely st. Adams has some
thing to offer. 1t has not the hotel &C.
commodations of which Burlington can
boast, but there would be no question
of lack of accommodations. If the ho-
tells were filled, as undoubtedly they
would be- private homes here would be
no less hospitable than they were in
Montpelier.
And st. Adams could offer the same as
Burlington, namely, series of halls.
There is spacious city hall here and
several other places of assembly that
are of no mean size. 1t may be seen,
then, that st. Adams could enter the
field with many and weighty induce
ments. No harm could be done, anyhow,
in the laying of the claims of this city
before the teachers executive committee.
1t is something in which the merchants
might well interest themselves, for il is
needless TO point out that it would mean
quite bit in the way of increased trade
were the teachers to gather here. Et. AL

Walking Now in Order.

These last days of autumn, with the
spicy crisp tang in the air, are ideal
for walking. The leaves are nearly all
fallen from the trees, revealing great
spaces from horizon to horizon and far
sweeping expenses of sunny sky. The
stark limbs of the barren forest no long
err invite to rest and shade, and the call
of the wide galloping wind impels to
vigorous use OF good strong legs. The
lungs, cramped by the languid summer
atmosphere, are filled and swelled. There
is no better exercise than walking. But
how few people know how to walk well!
Much attention has been paid of late to
the care of the health, and emphasis has
been laid on proper methods OF breathing
and on the advantage of sleeping out of
doors. 1t is in line with the same re-
form to urge walking in the fresh air
and walking in proper form. One should
learn to love it. Locomotion without ex
ercise has been made too easy. Electric
cars are great convenience, but we are
inclined to make too much use of them
for going short distances. The motor
car is a temptation to ride instead of
walking. If you have only two blocks
to go on your way to work in the morn
ing, you should enjoy each step; to do
this walk erect, with head high and
shoulders thrown back. Then as your
lungs expand, a sense of bodily invigor-
alton will awaken.
Take walk every day for sheer
pleasure. The spring is intensive; the
autumn is expansive, In the spring we
rejoice in the young blossoms and in
the leaves which are beginning to shut
in the prospect. In the autumn only the
witch hazel is in bloom with its frag-
rant yellow flowers. So few are alert to
the charms OF naturel 1t is sad to look
at the hurrying throngs at the early
sunset time, awkwardly pushing along
with unnatural strides, looking at the
ground and forgetting the glories of the
sky. The majority of old men have
STOPPING shoulders and walk as if their
joints were stiff Daily care might have
prevented such deformity. There is no
excuse for young men to carry them
selves with a slump and a SLOUGH. Even
those that have drilled in the militia do
not seem to overcome it; they too grow
into STOPPING and stupid old men.
With the present style of skirt it is
a wonder that women can walk at all.
They are forced to shuttle along with
tiny mincing steps like the Japanese
geisha-girls seen on the stage. However,
this may eventually make their walking
more graceful because it curtails too
long strides and prevents swinging the
arms like pendulums. One ungainliness
may cure another.
If all of us would only stop and take
in exultant breaths of air these wonder
full sunny autumn days, our back, with
out any artificial training, would nat
urally straighten up and we should walk
with quick, light step and warm ex-
panding heart.-Boston Herald.

The people of Orange, Windsor and
Washington counties ought to turn out
well for the annual meeting of the Yer
mont State Horticultural society next
week in recognition of the selection OF
Randolph as the meeting place OF the
convention. 1t isn't often that the
smaller communities of the state are
favored with chance to have conven-
tions of state bodies, and although the
State horticultural society is not one
of the largest conventions, it neverthe-
less is one of the most important and
one full of even greater possibilities for
the advancement of Vermont. There
fore, the people OF the central-eastern
side of the state should make an effort
to attend the public meetings and hear
something to their advantage about the
raising of fruit. The dates of the con-
vention are Nov. 10, 20, and 81.

SWEET CLOVER

Mrs. Minnie Hall. of Califa, Cali
fOrnia, writes as follows: SIS sweet
clover as good for pasturing COWS as
alfalfa? How many pounds are usual
ly sown per acre."
There are many farmers who have
good sweet clover pastures. and seem
to be getting fair results from this
crop for that purpose, but as a general
thing, it is considered a noXious weed.
Stock will eat sweet clover when they
have become accustomed TO it, but
due to slight bitterness, it is not
usually rclishod az muth as other
clovers. We have known Of instances
where, after The stool; had become
accustomed to sWee; clover. they
seemed to eat it readily and do very
well on it. In comparison with alfalfa
as feed for. live stock, alfalfa is far
superior. Alfalfa must be pastured
very carefully, because the cattle are
apt to bloat from eating it, especially
in the fall of the ye4r or early spring.
A much more satisfactory method is
to cut the alfalfa AND feed it as a soil
ing crop, or to cure il and feed it as
hay. Experience shows that one will
get a great deal more feed off an acre
if handled this way than If the stock
are allowed to Craze the alfalfa.

SHALL | PLOW OR DISK?

George Duncan Tilley, Alberta,
writes as follows Referring to your
adj in Calgary Herald about giving
advice on crops, ETC.. / should like
to have your suggestions on some
points. On prairie soil broken for the
first time in the fall of 1911, | have
harvested forty-nine acres of wheat
and forty acres of corn. The land was
plowed five inches deep. In preparing
the land for next years crop, do you
think that disking the stubble would
be sufficient, or should the land be
plowed? What crops should follow
wheat and oats?"
be plowed once year unless there are
unusual climatic conditions. If there
had been practically no rain and the
ground was very loose, you might get
satisfactory results by only disking.
However, it has been the mistake of
great many in the northwestern
territory to think that they could
raise satisfactory crops without doing
the amount of work on the land that
they should do. The result has been
that in many places they have worn
the land out much more rapidly than
was necessary. 1t is advisable not to
begin the practice of only disking.
Better try blowing again.
You will perhaps not need to pillow
the ground any deeper than it was
plowed last year, but ordinarily the
result will warrant your doing this
by leaving part of your ground and
only disking it, and if you do we would
be very pleased to know the result.
One of the drawbacks to Canadian
farming is lack of system of crop
rotation. BY all means plan on a ro-
tation of crops, which will include
wheat, oats, and barley, and some
leguminous crop. This may be clover,
alfalfa, Canadian field peas, or some
other similar crop that will do well in
