That yEilloughby Cliff.
Barre Times.)

Having seen and admired the beauties
of Lake Willoughby, we quite agree
with the Brattleboro Retormer that it is
cue of the finest spots in the whole
country: and we think that the road
way at the base could be made much
safer by examination of the side of the
cliff as far as possible to locate and
dislodge balancing rocks which mlgnr
be sent hurting down on the ROAD at
the least impetus. To make a thorough
aud minute examination of the entire
side Of the cliff would be quite an en-
gineering feat, we agree, and out Of the
question perhaps under existing condi
tons; but somewhat less WORK and les
expense would 10 much to insure the
safety CT hundreds OF people who are IN
the habit of congregatihg At the base Q
the cliff, we believe. If 50, the worF
ought to be done.

GOOD ADVICE TO
VERMONT DAIRYMEN
Advantages Pointed Gut in Separating
Cream SO That It Will Test High
in Butterfat.

Creamery patrons in this state have
been quite generally separating a thin
cream many creameries receiving
cream testing below 20 per cent butter
fat. This practice is being discontin
ued by many dairymen who are. find
ing that it pays them better to sepa
rate a cream testing 80 to IS per cent
in butter fat.
The buttermaker receiving thin
cream is working at ? disadvantage in
several ways: LIST, he must have larger
watts in which to temper and ripen the
cream. I'd, more steam is required to
heat the cream in winter and more ice
is needed TO cool properly in summer.
3D., more butter fat is lost in churning
on account of the increased amount of
buttermilk. This is one of the leaks In
creamery operation that keep down the
overrun and cut the price of butter
fat, thus resulting in a direct loss to
| the patrons Of the creamery. 4th, finer
| butter can be made of the richer cream.
The dairyman is also placing himself
| at q disadvantage by separating a thin
cream. 1st, the farmer has larger
| quantity of cream to cool and to keep
in good condition ID, he has more
cream TO haul to the creamery but not
q pound more butter fat. 81, he has
| less skim milk to keep at home and
must make it up by hauling from the
creamery a larger amount Of butter
milk 4th, he is not able to keep his
| cream as well under the same condi-
tions, because thin cream will sour
more quickly than cream rich in pu;-
terfat. Creamery patrons should at
this time set their separator cream
screw so that it will separate cream
| testing 80 to 35 per cent butterfat
which Will be more profitable and give
better results both for patron and
| creamery.

RIGHT FEEDING FOR CALVES
Flaxseed Jelly Is Excellent Substitute
for Fat or Cream-Give Some
Bran and Whole Oats.

There is no need of feeding the or
binary calf for longer period thar
one week on whole milk. OF course
the change to sweet skim milk should
not be made suddenly, nor without
substitutes for the fat or cream. It
replace the fat that has been removed
from the milk, as well as to furnish
additional protein, there is nothing
that can take the place of 1axseet
jelly. This jelly should be added in
small quantities at first and slowly in
creased. Begin with dessertspoonful
in each feed and gradually increase
until about cupful is being fed night
and morning to the three-months-old
calf. To prepare this jelly steep one
pound of whole flaxseed in water al
most boiling, until thick paste re
suits. 1t should be kept cool and sweet
until fed. In addition to the fiaxseed
jelly little dry bran and whole oats
should be fed. Some clean, sweet hay
will be found a valuable addition to
the ration at very early age.

Comparison of Healthy and Diseased
Hills of Same Varieties

q decreased yield of tubers, and by
transmission of the diseased condi-
ton through tubers planted. Its symp-
toms vary so much in detail that they
can be most clearly outlined by sepa-
rate treatment.
The rolling of the leaves is the most
constant and conspicuous symptom of
upward on their midrib, often assum-
ing a nearly tubular shape, and giving
plant starving appearance This
rolling is sometimes restricted to the
upper leaves, while in other cases all
or nearly all of the leaves may exhibit
1t. This type of roll is distinct from
the curly-dwarf condition, but very
similar roll may be induced by other
causes.
The color of tne foliage changes
with the advent of leaf-roll, but these
color symptoms vary greatly, from
cases where the leaves assume an I'M
healthy, light-green color to those
marked by pronounced yellowish, red
dish or purplish tints.
The effect of leaf-roll on the plant
is to check development. There is a
lessening or cessation of growth. The
shoots remain snort and the leaves
stand more upright. There is, how
ever, no such shortening of stems and
leaf ribs as occurs in curly-dwarf, with
its resultant reformation of the plant.
The duration of life of the plant is
shortened ~ leaf-roll. This is a rela-
tive matter, since the leaf-roll cases
may die earlier. as would be expected
of sick plants.
The true leaf-roll is Unbeatable. The
tubers from diseased plants produce
diseased progeny, as a general rule.

BAD PLACE FOR A CRIMINAL
Governor Stone Discovers One Inmate
of Penitentiary Who Is Willing
to Admit Guilt.

Senator Stone, while in the execu-
tive office of Missouri, one day visited
the state penitentiary at Jefferson.
After his fashion he went among the
prisoners and talked to them freely,
seeking to find out the causes and
conditions of the crimes that sent
them there. During a whole day Gov
ernor Stone found not single man
who failed to declare that he was in
nocent of the crime with which he was
charged, that perjured testimony had
sent him there, or that prejudiced
jury had returned an unjust verdict,
and that he WAS, and always had been,
an honest man.
Finally, about sunset, the governor
found single man who, on being in
terrogated, promptly declared:
II stole a horse because / wanted
to ride to Kansas, and / was caught
and convicted, and have nothing to
say about the verdict"
WELL" said Senator Stone, 81 will
see about your discharge tomorrow.

confessed criminal like you are remain

will be used next season. 1t will shoot

all the stronger because of it's late

Before the Days of Horseshoes.

Readers of Homer and early classic
authors who speak so frequently of
the horse and the part he played, par
ticularly in war. often wonder how he
was shod. 1t certainly was not with
metal. Homers "bronze-hooyed"
horses must have received that spe-
cial designation because of the color
of the hoof so often resembling bronze.
The hoofs of horses in ancient times
were frequently wrapped with cloth.
The Romans, it is said, used various
methods to harden the hoofs of their
horses that they might the better
stand long marches. So far as we
know Nero, the Roman emperor, was
the first to have his horses shod. The
shoes were of silver and were CLAIMED
to the foot. Nails driven into the horn
OF the foot appear to have been in use

WINTER PASTURE OF ALFALFA
Serious Mistake Made by Many Farm,
ers in Allowing Stock to Run
Over 1t at Pleasure.

More farmers are growing alfalfa
today than have ever grown it and
some of them are making a serious
mistake in letting stock run on it dur.
ing the fall and winter. To a great
many of them it is a new crop and
they fail to see where letting few
head of mich COWS or sheep run on ii
during the fall and winter is going to
do it any harm. 1t does seem rather
unreasonable at first for plants that
have grown vigorously all summer,
been cut two or three times and are
still growing vigorously, that it should
carry few cows through the winter
with all ease and without injury.
Alfalfa is a plant that differs very
greatly from some other forage
growths. All summer long it has been

gray mass which had caught my eye
was the famous rock crowned with
King Cormacs chapel. The rock of
Cashel is name known to Irish
people all the world over. It's great
est day was when it was the seat of
the Munster kings, especially during
the reign of the illustrious and munifi-
cent Cormac.
"And if the court of the prelate king
was splendid and brilliant, the king
dom over which Cormac held sway
was worthy of such capital and such
monarch. 1t was rich and fertile
and beautiful beyond all power of ex-
preston. 1t teemed with plenty-its
resources were inexhaustible. From
one blue mountain range to another
1t was a garden and cornfield and
school all in one. There must have
been a great happiness all over the
Golden Vale then, for the chroniclers
tell us that the kingdom was filled
with divine grace and worldly prosper
ity :. The cattle needed no cowherd
and the fiocks no shepherd so long as
he was king"
Where the Devil Took Bite.
The Rock of Cashel, whereon Cor
mac built his chapel, is one of the
most startling freaks of nature to be
seen in all Ireland. Three hundred
feet of sheer rock jut out of an i'm
mense smooth plain. Generations of
1rishmen, from away back before Cor
macs time, have wondered how it
came there. And in their poetic fash
ion they have explained the natural
phenomenon by means of a curious
legend. II you stand ON the rock you
can see off in the distance the Devils
Bit mountains.
The highest of them has a strange
appearance of having been bitten off
at the summit. The ragged edges
seem to have been made by monstrous
teeth. So they call them the Devils
Bit mountains. For, according to the
legend, the old tempter of mankind
was once chasing an enemy around
the County Tipperary. The fiend was
both angry and hungry, and he
stopped moment to take a huge
bite out of the hills to the north of
Cashel. But the runaway gained on
him when he paused for his bit of sup
per, and the fiend in his anger spat
the mouthful of rock after him. And
there 1t lies to this day to prove the
truth of the chronicle.
st. Patrick, of course, was before
King Cormac's day. The patron saint
of Erin was a great figure in Tip
perary. But even before st. Patricks
coming Cashel was military strong.
hold and the seat of kings. 1t is re-
lated that two swineherds dreamed
they saw an angel blessing the rock.
They told their dream to the king of
Munster, who built a fort there early
in the fifth century
1t was in this same century that
Patrick came to convert Ireland. 1t
was on the Rock of Cashel that St.
Patrick preached to King Agus and
his people, and plucked from the
grass at his feet the little shamrock
that ever since has symbolized the
blessed Trinity.
