The Manuscript from the Sea"
ends with Rev. J. w. Buckalew's
conversion to the Holy Roller doc
trine. This was eight years or more
ago. Since that tine he has preach
ed the new doctrine throughout the
southern states. assisted by his wife.
and for the past few years has been
in Florida, where he has found an
excellent field for his work. During
this time, as is often the case with
followers of these peculiar creeds,
he has been half-mobbed, put in Jail,
and has suffered many other vicissi-
tudes. Still, his meetings were
largely attended, and in many places
he is well received. Whatever may
be said of his religion, its strange
features and peculiarities, the fact
remains that their sincerity is such
as to win commentator. Wherever
they locate the sick and needy are
always looked after and made feat
ure of their work. This has been
noticed throughout the whole mar
rative. Also their explicit faith in
the Lord. And as also must have
been noticed the Lord does seem to
protect them through all the troubles
and dangers that beset their path.
The last example Of this was Bucka-
LEWIS voyage in the storm at sea and
his landing on Little Sarasota Key.
At this time he was working on his
manuscript and had reached the
point where we have left it off when
it was dumped into the sea. We
have received two communications
from him since this narrative was
started, one dated at Arcadia, Fla,
where he was holding tent meetings
at the time. His envelopes are COW

This is what he is doing, and posi-
bly, in the future we may hear from
him again.

Orleans County Agricultural AssoCia-
ton Notes.

For the last ten days the county
agent has been visiting demonstra-
tons throughout the county. AS a
whole the demonstrations are show
ing up very we'll, especially with al
falfa and the chemicals. There are
now about twenty-five demonstra-
=. tions of alfalfa and every one is do
ing nicely, and we expect that .
large percentage of them will make
permanent stands. Some where the
incubation has not been effective the
stand may not remain to make a
successful experiment.
Commissioner E. S. Brigham, St.
Adams, Mr.. H. R. Talmadge, Long
Island, N. Y, Prof. George Stewart
of the Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. c., were in the
county during the past week in the
interest of the seed potato industry.
They all agree that there are Won
derful undeveloped opportunities in
Orleans county for the potato crop.
The county agent will have an ex-
hibit at the Barton Fair and it is ex-
pected that S. M. Simpson, county
agent of Caledonia county will assist
again this year with the exhibit. A
cordial invitation is extended to all
to visit the exhibit and see what the
association is doing in an educationa
way in the county.
The Orleans County Fair Associa-
ton this year is offering the very
liberal prizes of $40, 81, S. and SO
to the boys of Orleans county who
can Judge live stock most accurately
and intelligently. Any Orleans coun-
ty boy not over Is years of age is
eligible to compete in the contest.
"A contest similar to this is to be
held lat all the county fairs in the
state The winners at the county
fairs held before the State Fair are
eligible to compete in a special con
test at the State Fair, the first prize
of which will be 500. Both of these
contests will be under the direction
of John W. Dana of the Vermont
Agricultural Extension Service. All
boys interested in these contests
should register atonce with the Sec.

Twelve Months of the Great Naval
War.

No attempt will be made in the
present review of the first year of
the naval war to give a tabulated
statement of the losses in ships and
men. Until the war is over and au-
thentic official lists of these losses
have been made public, any attempt
to give such statistics would be
guesswork to such an extent as to
vitiate the value of the results ar
rived at. Thus, if the "Audacious"
were destroyed, as rumored, beyond
recovery, the loss of that valuable
ship alone represented a reduction of
fighting strength equal in value to
that of all the old battleships sunk
in the Dardanelles operations. As
matter of fact, the Admiralty has
never acknowledged her loss, and
the lay evidence that she was sunk
is counterbalanced by other explicit
lay testimony, confirmed by much
unofficial expert testimony, that she
did not sink, but was brought into
port, repaired, and is now in COM
mission. The "Agamemnon," a most
valuable ship of the semi-dread-
nought class, was reported sunk by
the Turkish government, whereas
later the British government affirm
ed that she was still afioat. 1t has
been stated that the German battle
ship "Pommern" was sunk recently
in the Baltic by British submarine;
yet the German government, which
usually acknowledges its naval losses,
has made no mention of any such
disaster. And so it goes.
Therefore, the present article will
concern itself with the broad aspects
of the war on the seas, particularly
with respect to the decisive influence
which it is exerting upon the final
issues of the stupendous struggle

When the House Takes Fire.

Used early, glass of water has
more value than a fire brigade If
the amount of water at hand is limited
it should be thrown by handfuls rath-
er than in single dash. A bucket
of water and broom to sprinkle il
constitute a good extirguisher for a
starting fire. Don't throw water at
the blaze-much less at the smoke
but upon the material from which the
blaze comes. A coat, rug, bed
cover, or few pounds of flour can be
used to smother snail blaze and a

For several years before the open
ing of the war, Germany, recogniz-
ing the overwhelming strength of
the British battle line, had paid par
ticular attention to her torpedo SER
vice, which, it was believed, had
been brought up to a state of effici-
ency superior to that of the torpedo
service in any other navy. In the
event of war, it was the plan of the
German Admiralty to make sur
prise attack, similar to that by the
japanese at Port Arthur, and so to
weaken the British first line as TO
enable the German fleet to engage
the English under somewhat equal
conditions as to numbers and
strength. This attack never materi-

to say:
Remember that many a good far
mer has been put down and out by a
fire loss which little Judgment and
care could have prevented. Use the
same precaution to prevent fire as
you would take If you expected one.
Put up notices about the barn and
other buildings prohibiting smoking in
or near barn, haymows, or other out
buildings and see that they are com
piled with.
Don't 90 into barns or other build
ings with an open light.
Don't fail to burn all rubbish, but
don't do it near buildings.
Don't keep matches in other than
metallic boxes and out of reach Of
children.
Don't keep gasoline engines or gas
oline in barns. Put them in separate
buildings made of galvanized iron.

Keep at least six (6) buckets of
water in passageway of barn. Mark
For Fire Purposes Only and see that
they are always kept filed.
Keep fire extinguishers both in
house and barn
Keep ladder of sufficient length
hanging on side of barn for emsr-
gency and have footholds placed on
roCf of barn.
Watch electric wires in house and
barn have them frequently inspected.
Build a cistern near barn with a
good force pump and hose attached.
"If you have no fire-6ghting force
near you, form one amongst your
neighbors, and don't hesitate to call
them when services are needed, nor TO
promptly respond when they call you.
'Be sure your property, crops, i'm
