The silence of the great multitude of
people who on Monday witnessed the
transporting of the bodies of the 17Vera
Cruz soldier dead from the ship Montana
to the Brooklyn navy yard was in itself
a marked tribute to the heroes who lost
their lives in the occupation of the Mex
lean port. For New York to halt its
street activity for so long period as
was necessary to convey the bodies to
their last resting place was also trib-
ute, it may be said. Then, added to
that, was the gathering of men high in
official life, including the president of
the United States, further to mark the
nations remembrance of the heroes.
Some dry, too, it is to be hoped that a
suitable memorial of stone will be
erected to serve as tangible evidence of
the nations gratitude to those who died
in the performance of their duty. And
if there shall be termination of the
present troubles without further loss of
life, movement ought to be started i'm
mediately to provide such a memorial.

to them. Barre Times.

Angora goats have been used with
profit to keep fire lines clear of inflam-
mable vegetation on national forests in
California.
Last year the fire loss on the Canadian
timber reserves was the smallest ever
known, only one-fiftieth of one per
cent of the area being burned over.
More than $500 young trees are
being set out this spring on national
forests in Utah and Southern Idaho,
and the season is reported as particu-
larly favorable to their successful
growth.

Two accidents with canoes have al
ready occurred on Lake Champlain, one
near Burlington on Saturday and the
other near st. Adams on Sunday. In
each case of capsizing two men had
narrow escapes from drowning. Lake
Champlain, or any other considerable
body of water, is no place for canoe
unless its occupants are properly at
tired for swimming and are well nigh
experts in the water. 1t is hazardous
sport at best, ard the two incidents,
coming as they do the outset of the out
door season should be deterrent in their
effect upon others of too much daring
or too little knowledge of the danger
that turks in this craft. Rutland News.

Shoreham Improvement Society

Under the inspiration of the Moravian
club, the Shoreham Improvement
society was organized in February and
the following board of directors APP
pointed: Mrs. E. H. Moore, presi-
dent; C. w. Howard and Mrs.
R. H. Preble vice-presidents; Mrs. Mary
M. Platt, secretary and treasurer; Miss
Agnes X. Bush, Rev. G. w. French,
E. L. Eddy, Mrs. Otis Root, William
Wisell, Raymond Osborne, E. M.
Tully.
The first annual meeting of this
society was held on Saturday evening,
May 9th, with a goodly attendance
from all parts of town. After choice
musical selection, given by Miss Annie
Wisell, the chairman introduced the
speaker of the evening, DR.. j. M.
Thomas of Middlebury, who had kindly
come to help US and who gave an in
teresting and stirring talk. Following
this, the chairman called for general
discussion and suggestions for work to
be undertaken.
The treasurer reported gift of $40
from the Moravian club and another
gift of $25. A resident of the village
offered still another $40. A committee
from various parts of town was ap-
pointed to look after the school play
grounds, also committee to make a
new road from the church to the acad-
envy, in order to save some trees now
being injured. Two gentlemen offered
each man and team for day for this
road. One hundred loads of gravel
were offered to be used on the village
road. One progressive farmer present
said he thought that the best work for
our society would be for each farmer to
clean up and improve his own dooryard
and roadsides.
Many other possible lines of work
were suggested and so much interest
shown that the society feels it is en-
tering upon an active and vigorous
existence.

Livestock Increases On Nation
al Forests

Figures showing the number of live
stock for which the secretary of agri-
culture has authorized grazing permits
for the ranges on the 100 national for
ests during the year 1914 have just been
made public. Nearly II million animals
can be grazed including nearly 2 mil
lion head of cattle and horses, nearly 8
million head of sheep and goats, and
about 65 thousand hogs. This means an
increase for the current year of about
3S thousand more cattle and horses, and
BAT thousand more sheep and goats, al
though the gross area of the national
forests at the beginning of 1914 is al
most a million acres less than at the
beginning of 1913.
During 1913, according to the reports
just complied, more than q thousand
stockmen paid the government for graz
ing permits on the national forests.
For several years past the carrying
capacity of the national forest ranges
has been slowly rising, which, forest
officers says, indicates an improvement
in general grazing conditions and a
better utilization of the forage resources.
They claim that this is due mainly to
the enforcement of better methods of
distributing and handling stock.
On the lands recently acquired by the
federal government within the Appala-
chan region of the east, regulated graz
ing has been undertaken this year on
six distinct areas. The local stock own
ers who had previously used the land
under lease from the former owners
have readily accepted the change of
ownership and appear to be favorably
impressed with the methods employed
by the forest service for grazing pur-
poses. While the number of all animals
authorized to Craze upon these southern
Appalachian forests is not large, it is
the belief of the forest officers in charge
of them that under careful supervision
the lands will support more stock than
they have in the past and that their
will be considerable improvement in the
individual animals, with a constant in
crease in meat production.

A M m orial Day Reminder.

Another revolution of the swiftly
moving cycle of time has brought us to
the threshold of another Memorial day;
day of hallowed associations unique in
the history of any nation. Nowhere
else upon earth does an entire people
pause for day in the midst of their
manifold activities to pay tribute to the
shrine of memory. In no other land is
there a day of similar significance
Nature, in accord with the spirit of the
observance, dons her freshest gar
ments in honor of the nations heroes.
Lavishly she gives of .her fairest bios
SONS fitting symbols of our love and
gratitude. On this day, with others,
the survivors in the Grand Army of the
Republic. decorate with love and
respect the graves of those of their
fallen comrades who have gone on be-
fore. 1t is fitting and most proper that
the young and the old, those who have
passed through the manifold trials and
anxieties of war times, as we'll as those
of tender years whose experience has
not yet included the ttrrors of war,
should gather round and make much OF
this day of days in the real patriotic
work of this, the greatest of nations.
Not Decoration day, or a Memorial
Sunday should drift into the past with
out an adequate observance, partici-
pated in freely and enthusiastically by
all in one way and another, whether by
active participation in the program OF
the services, or by attendance at least.
1t is almost certain that many of the
survivors of the great struggle that
kept the nation intact will not be here
when another cycle has turned; make
of 1914 another garland in the wreath
of memory, even more beautiful thar
those which have been offered before.

Trees and birds are so closely asso-
ciated that there is ample justification
for the change that some of the states
have made in celebrating Arbor and
Bird day, where formerly they cele-
brated Arbor day alone. Connecticut
is one of the states that have made the
change. Governor Baldwin, in his
proclamation, which named April 18th
as Arbor and Bird day, made this sug-
gestion for the guidance of public
school teachers, Let them call atten-
ton to the statutes giving bounty for
planting trees by the roadside and max
ing it criminal offence to injure trees
on another's land, to t-advertise-
ments on trees in the highway, to shoot
or net any song bird, or to rob a bird S
nest. Let them tell their scholars that
in the fine scenery and variety of land
scape, Connecticut holds a position OF
distinction in America; that they are
among her citizens as fully as their
parents; and that it is the duty of every
citizen to do his part, be it great OF
small, to make his State State beauti.
full, and so attractive to the home
dweller and visitor alike. = The

Kaffir corn, which is a native OF
South Africa and takes it's name from
the tribe from which it was secured,
was introduced into this country some
thirty-five years ago by the federal de-
partment of agriculture. 1t was ex-
perimented with first in southern states
and later introduced into the extreme
south and west Today it is quite ex-
tensively grown in western Kansas,
Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas, where
there is limited rainfall. The Kaffir
corn is hardy. drought resistant and
will yield good crop in sections that
are too dry for corn. The grain has
the general appearance of sugar cane,
the seed being borne at the top of the
plant instead of lower down. as with
our native corn.

There is many a garden patch where
the early potatoes might be followed
by navy beans, planted between rows
Mt the time of the last cultivation. The
beans would not only cover the ground
after the potato vines died down and
keep down the weeds, but would also
enrich the soil and help to keep it mel
low. besides furnishing staple crop
for the table. Beans may be planted
as late as the middle of June and yet
mature a crop.

More than one farmer who has had
failure after failure in getting a start
with alfalfa has found that the appli-
cation Of ton and half to two tons
of ground limestone was needed to
sweeten the soil and make conditions
right for its proper growth. Alsike
will do quite well on low, sour soil,
but not alfalfa or red clover.
