a Feed; Not a Market Crop.-Let 1t

Corn's place on the farm is as a
feed for the live stock On the farm.
1t should not be made a market crop
and thus be a soil depleter instead of
q soil improver. 1t isn't fair to the
crop to use it so. Let it fill the silo
with its stalks, leaves and ears for
winter and summer s%ucculence and
feed and be the base of farm grain

1t as beef, pork. butter or eggs. and

Clean, careful cultivation destroys the

you plant must be strong and vigorous
else the crop will fine you for it and
you must pay. The planter must be
properly adjusted or the crop will

Corn and Alfalfa.
These two crops are so closely re-

POTATO

A Washington, d. c. report says:
"a quarantine against Maine potatoes
effective August /, 1914, has been de.
clared By the u. S. Department OF Ag-
riculture on account of the prevail.
ence OF powdery scab in that state,
particularly in Aroostook county.
After August 1, no common or Irish
potatoes a be moved out OF Maine
except under regulations which the
department Of agriculture will pub
lish shortly. Powdery scab has been
prevalent for some time among Maine
potatoes, but hitherto the state au-
thorities have been responsible for
preventing the spread of the disease.
With the enforcement of the new
quarantine, the federal government
will take charge or the work. There
will be. It is said, nc radical change In
the existing restrictions"
South Dakota is gaining prestige rs
a potato state. Farmers and market
gardeners should take every precau.
ton to keep their product clean and
out of danger from quarantine. %

BEAR CHEWS KEEPERS LEG
Loosens Hold Only When
Prodded With Poles.

st. Louis.-Crazed by the excessive
heat, a polar bear in the Forest Park
ZOO attacked and severely injured its
keeper here. The injured man, Henry
p. Zimmerman, is at his home with
one foot mangled and the other cut
and bruised. Zimmerman had climbed
to the top Of the cage to feed the
bear. The bear threw aside the food
held by the keeper. With one lurch
he reached Zimmerman, caught his
right leg in his mouth and tried to
make a meal Of it. The bear finally
was driven off with long poles.

account Of his experiments with a

There are many things used as an
tennae to catch the mysterious cleo

messages through space, and l find
that the springs Of my bed serve as
very efficient antennae. My room Is

by using these springs as antennae l
al easily read the signals sent out
every night by the wireless station at
Sayville, L. l., although they are not
by any mean SO loud as when I use
my outdoor %antennae, which are 40
feet above ground, 60 feet long and
consists Of four wires On spreaders,
the wires being two feet apart.
The bedspring antennae are best
for use with nearby high power sta

miles from Peekskill. With my out
door a%ntennae l continually hear the
Arlington Va.) naval station when it
sends out the corrected time signals at

The "noxious gases and vapors" so dear

The most serious obstacle to the uni

of the water-carriage system IS the hlgn
cost of the plumbing. In this respect

quirements is harm, not help to pub

Plumbing and Health.

II is not surprising that old ideas con-
corning the causes of disease survive
long time after these ideas have been
generally outgrown or discredited. All
the same il is little disconeerting to
find that typhoid fever can still be COM
placently attributed to bad plumbing.
When we read that insufficient laws
regulating plumbing and sanitation in
Virginia, Maryland and the District of
Columbia are largely responsible for the
high typhoid rate and the prevalence Of
other diseases in the two states and the
district, and again that much of the
fever and other forms of disease with
which the health authorities are con-
stantly wrestling is caused by noxious
gases and vapors emanating from neg
lected or defective pipes in the homes of
the people," we are inclined to rub our
eyes and ask ourselves if the education
of the community is really proceeding at
the pace we sometimes like to believe.
The assertions quoted above however,
were reported as made at the association
of plumbers, gasftters and steamftters
which recently met in Richmond Va,
and not at a convention OF health OIL
iicers or physicians.
1t is hardly necessary to point out
that typhoid fever-or any other fever
is not caused by bad smells, and that the
small quantity of the gases of decompo-
sition found in well-ventilated sewers
has never been proved to exert any in
furious effect whatever on health. A
connection between plumbing and health
has been shown to exist at just one
point. Plumbing is of value to public
health only so far as it removes human
excreta from the immediate neighbor-
hood of dwellings and so does away with
the danger of hy-borne typhoid and
other infection which arises from allow
ing infectious material to accumulate.
Disease germs are not found in sewer
air; indeed it is difficult on physical
grounds to see how they could get there.

Republicans Did the Wise Thing.

The Republican state convention did
wise thing yesterday when it made
State Highway Commissioner Charles w
Gates of Franklin its nominee for gov
ernor. It would have been extremely
difficult if not impossible to find a bet
ter standard bearer. Certainly none OF
the other candidates for the nomination
would have been able to give the state
ticket the strength which it now seems
to possess. The denomination OF SEN
ator William P. Dillingham; made it abb
solutely necessary for the party to name
for its gubernatorial candidate a man
who could not fairly be called reac-
tionary, and realization of this sit
uation no doubt had its effect on
the showing of Percivsl w. Clement.
In fact, il was evident several days ago
that Republican sentiment throughout
the state was strongly in favor of Mr..
Gates, and the delegates would have
been short sighted indeed if they had at
tempted to ignore the situation.
Charles w. Gates has accomplished ex-
cellent work during his term of office
as state highway commissioner and if he
is chosen governor, as no doubt he will
be. he will do his level best to give Yer
mont sound busness-like administra-
tion. Hale X Darling, Republican nom
inee for lieutenant governor, is one. of
the states brightest lawyers and yet
not open to the charge of being closely
connected with corporate interests which
are supposed to be antagonistie to the
public welfare. He is thoroughly ia
miliar with state affairs through long
service in various legislative capacities,
and should add strength TO the ticket.
Windham county Republicans will nat
urally be pleased over the nomination of
Herbert c. Barber of Brattleboro for at
torney general, and the presence of his
name on the ticket is likely to increase
the size of the Republican vote through
out the territory in which he is best
known.
The platform adopted was substantial
~ that which was published and com
mended in previous issue OF The Re-
former-Br attleboro Reformer.
