BARNUM & BAILEY HAVE HUN
DREDS OF NEW FEATURES

The Barnum and Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth, which comes to Green
vile, S. c., on Friday, Oct. %, claim
to present this year ga Circus of All
Nations" meaning one that is filled
with all new features shown now for
the first time and presented by $50
world-famed artists who represent
every nation in the world. The entire
world has been secured by special
Barnum and Bailey agents SO that
practically all the arenic stars that are
really worth seeing AXE part.
The time-honored custom has al
ways been to refer to each successive
years circus as bigger and better
than ever" but the phrase has become
so hack-neyed that, this year, Barnum
and Bailey hesitate to use it, despite
the fact that it adequately describes
the entertainment. More railroad cars
are required to transport the show
bigger tents are raised, more area is
needed to accommodate the show than
ever before.
There's material enough in this
years circus to make a dozen circuses
of the Old days. A big top" $50 feet
long, nearly 1900 employees, three
rings, four elevated platforms, acres
OF aerial apparatus, the biggest stage
ever erected 70 IA dramatic presenta-
ton, a 11O-cage menagerie, $50 horses,
forty elephants, a street parade three
miles long.
A wonderful prelude to this great
circus is the presentation of the new,
m~agnlncent, spectacular pageant
-LalIa Rookh" in which more than
IOOO characters take part. Everyone
should get an early start on circus
day in order to be there in time for the
parade which starts at 10 a. m., and
which is said to be three miles long.

PROTECT STOCK FROM FLIES
mends Mixture of Soap and kero-
sene-Use Spray or Wash.

CBy CHARLES I. BRAY, Colorado Ex-
pertinent Station.)
During the summer months, when
cattle are most likely to be bothered
with flies, there are many people
who wish to know what can be done
as a preventive. There r a num-
Der of methods sometimes recommend
ed for this purpose, some Of which are
supposed to keep flies off the animal
by virtue of their bad odor or greasy
nature, and some which are supposed
to be sprayed on to kill the flies.
Considerable doubt exists as to the
benefits to be obtained from using
any of these treatments, or as to the
relative value of the different ways
Of combating flies.
For spraying the backs of cattle at
milking time, there is possibly moth
ing. more reliable than kerosene
emulsion. The following recipe
given by the United States department
of agriculture is of the best ways
of making this: Dissolve one-halt
pound of hard soap in one gallon Of
hot water, and while still at near boil
ing point add two gallons kerosene,
and emulsify by use of a force pump
or agitator Of some kind. Dilute with
water, one part emulsion to eight
parts water, and use as a spray, dip
or wash.

SHEEP REQUIRE SOME SHADE
Best Place for Shed Is on Open
Ground Where There Is No
Grass-High Fence Will Do.

Do not allow the sheep to lie around
in fence or hu6dle in under
brush. The best shade is a shed on
open ground where there is no grass.
A little bit Of shelter is fine flor
sheep. Even II it be nothing more
than a high board fence On the side
toward tho sunshine it will help a lot.
The sheep can snugg1e up near to
that and escape the direct rays Of the
sun.
Better than such a fence is a piece
Oh woodland. We have a cluster of lit
tie hemlocks in our pasture, up On a
side hill, says a writer in an exchange.
The sheep run UP into that and escape
not only the heat, but also the miser-
able flies that hurt them so.

AFFECTED PRUDIsHNEss.

Affected prudishness ran wild in
some Of our State papers last week
when they told of an accident occurr-
ing in Raleigh, wherein a little girls
leg became so fastened in the iron
grating of a sewer drain that the
bars had to be sawed in order to effect
her release. In the short item narrat-
ing the incident the child's "limb'' was
mentioned even times. leg is d
good, respectable word and stands for
a mighty useful portion of human
anatomy, and there's no good reason
to shy at it's name. We stand for true
modesty as strong as any one, but we
don't want our legs replaced by limbs
OF any kind.-Old Fort Sentinel.

Examine Ram for Ticks.

1t is a good plan to examine the
ram cnc in a while for ticks, and if
any are found he should be thorough
ly soaked with a few gallons of a dip
preparation. This can easily be done
with a hard-sprinkler while the ram
is in a standing position.

1t is seldom that there are united in
one man the qualities of a great bust
ness executive, profound scholar and
a brilliant orator, but such union was
exemplified in the life of Mr. DeBoer
1t was always delight to listen to his
public addresses. His enunciation was
clear and distinct, his argument was
logical and his familiarity with the mas
tiers of literature, ancient and modern,
enabled him to adorn his speech with
apt and graceful quotations.
Mr.. DeBoer believed thoroughly in the
future of Vermont and was inter-
ested in all that pertained to it's devel-
opment. His political ideals were high.
He stood firmly for what he believed to
be right and his career taken as whole
is splendid example of faithful and
efficient service in public and private
life to hold before young men.

ROBERT COBB, BFNEFACTOR.
rattleboro Reformer.


1t isn't the size of the gift that
counts, it is the proportion as compared
to means and the spirit that is back of
it. The widows mite, which was all
she had, outweighed millions from other
sources. Robert Cobb, a colored barber,
who died in st. Johnsbury last week,
was poor man, but he deserves to be
ranked higher as a public benefactor
than many men with great fortunes. 1t
is rather pathetic to read of the way
that he disposed of his savings, as fol-
lows: 500 to the Sunset home for
aged women; 500 to the Red Men, to
be used for flowers for funerals of
members; 500 to the North Congrega-
tional church; $50 to the st. Johnsbury
cemetery association. When additional
chapters of the st. Johnsbury history
are written, the name of Robert Cobb
ought to be perpetuated in them.

HOME-MIXED FERTILIZER.
Springfield Reporter.

County Agent Wood of Caledonia
county advises the farmers of that
section to buy the chemicals and mix
their own fertilizer, alleging that SO
per cent of the farmers who do this
are satisfied with the result, and also
save from $500 to $40. 90 per ton by so
doing. The farmers of that county
may pay a dollar and belong to the
county association. and purchase their
chemicals comparatively and save a
tidy sum. Besides all this, there is
this advantage to the farmers in CO.
operative buying of fertilizers; the
product when mixed is much purer
than the products sold on the open
market, the "fillers" in such brands
varying in amounts from 100 to 1000
pounds per ton. This filler" has, so
it is alleged, absolutely no fertiizing
value, and is put in merely to save the
more costly materials. Hence the ad-
ded value to the farmer of doing his
own mixing.

FEED THE BIRDS.
Brattleboro Reformer.

Now if ever is the time to make
known your love for the birds. The
heavy snow is a decided handicap to
our feathered friends in getting food.
A sweeping from the barn floor thrown
out under a tree in the yard or even
taken to the edge of nearby woods, will
help the birds greatly in getting enough
to sustain themselves. 1t is not the
cold that the birds mind as much as it
is the depth of the snow which will
hinder them in reaching the ground or
even some hole in which they have a
store of food

FREEDOM FOR COLLEGE PRO-
FESSORS.
Rutland Evening News.


If the rumpus aroused by the dis
missal of Prof. Scott Nearing from
the Unworthy of Pennsylvania last
summer seemed to anybody a mere
tempest in teacup, that view is now
dispelled and the storm is justified by
the results.
Professor Nearing in himself was
unimportant, but the principle of the
thing-the question whether college
trustees might curb the free utterance
of professors by discharging them for
expressing their personal opinions
was very important. There arose a
demand throughout the country that
scholars intrusted with teaching our
American youth should be untrammeled;
that at least there should be no ground
for suspicion that wealth or vested in
terests in any form had power to con-
troll the teaching of specialists in edu-
cational institutions.
Now the University of Pennsylvania
itself has yielded to the storm of
criticism. There will be no more ruth
less firing" of professors. 1t has
been decided that the trustees, in dis
missing professors or instructors. must
have the consent of the faculty, and
the professor own colleagues will have
the deciding voice. Moreover, when
man is dropped for good reason, he
will be notified in time, so that he
needn't be left without job.
Such a conclusion shonld give a new
spirit of self-respect and freedom to the
teaching force of every college in the
country.

In the death of Hon. Joseph A. De-
Boer Vermont has lost its most bril-
liant citizen. He was brought to this
country from Holland when a child
and never had any advantages save
those he worked for and earned by hard
labor. He never had pull, but rose
from his start as a newsboy to become
at the age of d the head of one of
the great financial institutions of the
country. His career reads like a
romance, but the key to his success
was study, hard work and honest SER
vice. His death at the age of 81 is a

GREENE GROW


The Daily Evening Argus says
Representative Frank l.. Greene has
been assigned to the military COM
mittee in Congress and we predict that
he will be one of its most valuable
members. Col. Greene has long been
associated with military matters es-
pecially with the Vermont National
Guard, and has given the subject much
study and attention, which, added to
his unusually good judgment, will prove
valuable. A better choice for the COM
mite could not have been made.
No Congressman in recent years has
grown faster in the appreciation of the
leaders in the House than Congressms n
Greene.
He is personal friend of the Speaker
of the House and sits at ''the Round
Table" with the leaders on the republi-
can, or opposition side" of the House.
Meanwhile he is just as popular at
home and no man, since D. j. Foster, is
more mindful of the interests and re-
quests of his constituents.
Congressman Greene isone of the
coming big men in this country.

Older BUT STRONGER

forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the

blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's.

Ex-Gov. John Abner Mead appears
again in the role of public benefactor.
His gift of the Mcintyre property as
a community center on non-sectarian
lines for the young people of Rutland
will provide just the kind of an estab-
lishment needed to give the rising gen.
Grafton place for wholesome enter
taidment and recreation. The gift rep
resents a value of $50, and the

Rutland received worth while
Christmas gift in the splendid present,
announced yesterday at the Con-
gregational church, from John Abner
Mead, former governor of the State,
of the L. H. McIntire property on the
southeast corner of Center and Court
streets, to be used by the youth of Rut-
land as a social center. While the gift
is placed primarily in the hands of the
trustees of the Congregational church,
it is the earnest wish and expectation
of the donor that it will be absolutely
non-sectarian and open to the young
people of Rutland, regardless of church
or no-church affiliations.
1t is the best gift that Rutland has
ever received from any of its citi-
zens. While many communities in
Vermont have been generously re-
membered by its successful and loyal
citizens, Rutland has had little hereto
fore along this line. The example of
DR.. Mead may be infectious. 1t is GER
tainly splendid example for others to
emulate.
The property when it is developed
along the lines that are in the mind of
the donor will fill one of the greatest
needs in this community that of a
wholesome, well-equipped gymnasium
and recreation center for the youth of
the city. The half acre, with COM
modious and well cons tructed buildings,
is one of the choicest locations in Rut-
land, practically adjoining the business
district and therefore easily accessible.
The gift is further proof of Gov
ernor Mead's devotion to the church
of which he has been a member for
nearly half-century, but far beyond
that it is evidence of his interest in
the city which has been the scene of
his remarkable business success, and of
his love for the youth and his desire to
see them grounded in good health, sur
rounded by right influences and founded
on good principles. If citizens in their
making are carefully nurtured there
need be no fear of the future of the
community.
This institution will stand as an en-
during monument to Rutland's chief
citizen.
