PLUMB AND MORAN
ON CRIPPLES' LIST
High School Fullback and Guard Both
Cut of Football for Week With
Leg Injuries.

With Moran, guard, and Plumb, full
back, both of the high school be
cause OF leg injuries, the outlook for
the final days of practice before the
Vermont academy game Saturday is not
bright Both Moran and Plumb went
into the game against Keene Saturday
in no shape to play, but substitutes
are so scarce on the Brattleboro team
that it is necessary that they should
play if possible.
BY playing in that game it may
prove that they are now so badly off
that they will not be of much service
Saturday, when they will be much
more necessary than they were last
week. Coach Stolte called off all prac-
tee yesterday, but plans this afternoon
to have some sort of workout. Prob
ably neither Moran nor Plumb will do
any work in football this week, but 1t
is hoped that they viii be able to run
through signals Friday.
BrattlebOro lost the first game to '.

have been planning to square accounts

do it if the the two ''cripples are

and propose, even if neither of them
can last out the game, to show V. A
that one victory early in the season Is
Inc guarantee of a second.

USEFULNESS.

It is a great satisfaction at the close of life to feel that you have lived not for yourself alone, but that you have been useful to others. You may be assured also that the same feeling is a source of comfort and happiness at any period of life. Nothing in this world is so good as usefulness, It tends to the im- provement of your own character.

IN
 ALASKA TRADE

Alaska at the present time is on the crest of an unparalleled era of good times, according to statistics made public recently by the Un- tied States customs house, and cold figures show that trade between the territory and the United States and Canada will be two and one-haII times greater for 1915 than for 1914.
 It is already by far the biggest year the territory has ever had, in it's commerce, and the amount Of exports and imports may reach three times the figures of last year be- fore the year is over.
 The increase of gold production the development of railroad, agrl- culture and forest enterprises, and the steady gain in population have worked to bring about the doubling of the business. A table showing the value of products shipped from Alaska to the United States and Canada for the seven months end ing July 31, follows:

SHEEP GREAT HELP
FOR THE ORCHARDS
Of High Value in Fertilizing Soil
When Given Suitable Sup
Elementary Feed.

The. greatest value OF sheep in an
orchard is found probably in their be-
ing used as a means of fertilizing or
chards that are bearing.
II put in somewhat early in the
spring and fed a suitable supple
mentary food with the grass which the
orchard may furnish, II will be found
that the sheep will thus convey fer
tility to the land, and they will do so
in a marked degree if fed on ricl
kinds of food.
Such food may consist very largely
Oh wheat bran which is in itself very
valuable fertilizer.
1t may be wise to encourage tho
sheep to eat freely, to add a little
grain in the form OF oats.
A little oil cake will also improve
the food.
The droppings thus left in the or.
chard will tend very much to it's en-.
richment.
The outcome will be that where this
system is persevered in during consid
cradle portions of the season the or
chard will thus be provided with lib
eral application of fertility.

MAKE BIG EFFORT
TO RENEW WOODLOT
When Second Crop Has Been
Cut Stumps Have Lost Vi
tality-PIant Seedlings.

lBy II. r. FLINT, Minnesota College Of
Forestry
Special effort should be made to Sc
cure the reproduction of the trees re-
moved from the farm woodlot during
the cutting season just passed. In
many cases sprouts are counted on for
this reproduction and for certain pur-
poses such as fuel, posts and shelter,
they can be relied upon to furnish the
desired material. When this second
crop Is cut in its turn, however, the
old stumps have lost most, If not all of
their vitality and unless some vigor-
ous seedlings have grown up in the
meantime, the value of the woodlot is
greatly impaired. Since 1t requires
many years to build up a woodlot
which has been allowed to run out, it
Is a wise plan to insure the production
of some good healthy seeding trees
each year by planting some seed of
desirable species in the openings cre-
ated by the winters cutting.
During early life the sprouts, be-
cause of the advantage of previously
established root system, will outstrip
the little seedlings and may deprive
them OF the requisite amount of light
for good growth. Therefore, in the
first thinning or cutting of the sprouts
some special consideration should be
shown the young seedlings.
The method OF planting the seeds
will depend upon the species used.
Walnut, hickory and all of the oaks
can be planted about two inches deep
In hole made with dibble or spud.
The smaller seeds such as red and
white elm, maple and ash may be
planted by removing the coarser litter
from a small spot and putting on a
few seeds, covering them very lightly
with fine soil and a little litter.
In many cases II is better to raise or
buy seedlings of the species having
small seeds and transplant them in
the desired location.

lowed by the fall and winter orchard
fruits and the surplus of the gardens
preserved in various ways. Now is
the time to plan your next years work
Plum trees should not be pruned un-
til late winter, or in the spring before
the sap starts.
A patch of ground. even so small as
the eighth of an acre, planted with
the different kinds of berries, including
currants and grapes, and given good
attention and cultivation will supply
the average family with all the small
fruit that can be used, and enough
for winter besides. A few dwarf pears,
peaches, plums and cherries will vary
the product in an agreeable way.
The common wild choke-cherry
bears a dark red fruit in large clus-
ters, which is much liked by some is
an abundant bearer and a small tree.
In spring it yields numerous fragrant
white flowers, and is worth growing
for ornament if for no other purpose.
For a yard fence, try the hardy OF.
ange, Citrus trifoliata; plant in single
rows, Is inches apart. The bush is OF
dwarf, compact habit, making one of
the most ornamental hedges, covered
in spring with thousands Of sweet
smelling orange blossoms, and in the
fall with lot of little sour oranges.
1t does not throw up sprouts.
Make a map of your fruit garden as
well as of your orchard, drawing it
on stiff cardboard, or smoothly
dressed board, making every tree, bush
or vine, every row of small fruit, Civ.
ing the names of the varieties.
This will be found of especial value
in case you wish to replace with the
same variety any which may have
died, or having found it particularly
satisfactory may wish for more.

Don't expect good fruit and plenty
Of It unless you feed the trees and
bushes accordingly.
Large seeded grapes should be dis
carded.
Ashes and bone are first rate ferti-
lizers.
Bury all bones about the roots of
vines and trees.
Strawberries may be grown the first
two years under the grapevines.
Make the soil rich before setting out
the vines and plants.
If large crop is wanted, give addi-
tional dressings of fertilizers, ashes
and bone dust.
Top-dress the orchard and fruit gar
den, but keep weedy manure out of
the strawberry patch.
Give the blackberries a corner of
cool land and cultivate for two years.
After that only cut back the tops and
thin out the old canes.
Trees in the fruit garden should be
headed low for reasons of convenience
and for other reasons affecting the well
fare of the trees. Only dwarf varieties
should be planted here.
For the fruit garden, the advice not
to trim is as bad as not to cultivate.
1t is the business of the tree to repro
duce itself, and the more limb, the
more seed in the fruit.
Mulching hill land that washes is
better, in many instances, than plow-
ing. Flowing is but mulching by
throwing one portion of soil over an
other. Mulch with litter, boards,
boughs, or even rocks, where they are
plentiful during the hot weather.

fresh fruits from rhubarb time, on un-
til late grapes, outside, to be fol-
