Albert M. Allbee, long known as
the oldest lawyer in Vermont, died
Monday at his home in Bellows Falls.
Mrs. Albee died two days earlier and
they were both buried at the same
time Mr.. Albee was "a years old
and his wife was 80. On Dec. 80 the
couple celebrated the 10th anniver-
sary of their marriage. Mr.. Allbee
was admitted to the bar May /, 1843
and had therefore been Vermont
lawyer almost 73 years. The point
of particular interest in connection
with Mr.. .Allbee is the way his span
of life reached from the lifetime of
the early settlers down to our day.
One of the notable figures of carly
Vermont was Stephen Row Bradley.
He was an intimate friend of Ethan
Allen, perhaps the first lawyer in
Vermont educated for the profession,
was the first senator elected by Yer
mont'to the congress of the United
States and was for three terms presi-
dent pro TEN of the senate, which in
those days was considered the third
highest place in the government. Mr..
Allbee was born in Westminster
where Stephen Row Bradley lived
and well remembered the old sena.
tor. Mr.. Allbee studied law in the
Office OF William c. Bradley, son of
the senator. and brought down to this
generation an intimate knowledge of
the fathers OF the state enjoyed by
few other men. Vermont is l55
years old. yet we find in this casa
the whole career of the state within
the lifetime of two men, 4

ARRANGE BUILDINGS
MORE CONVENIENTLY
Location Has Much to Do With
Time Required to Perform Ger
tain Work Around the Farm.

(By W. c. PALMER, Agricultural Editor,
North Dakota Agricultural College)
The location of the buildings on a
farm has a great deal to do with the
time required to do the work. 1t will
often pay to move some of the build
ings in order to secure a more con-
venient arrangement. This was done
on one farm, with the following re-
suits. Under the old plan, it required
walking 80 miles a year, just carry
ing in water. Under the new plan,
the water was piped into the house
no walking required. Bringing in the
wood under the old plan required
walking % miles. Under the new ar
rangement, this was reduced to eight
and three-fourths miles. The trips
made to the machine shed during the
year amounted to fifty-seven and one
third miles; by the new arrangement,
1t was reduced to eleven and three
fourth miles. By the new arrange
ment, the years trips in feeding the
hogs was reduced 1925 miles, and in
caring for the chickens, three miles
were saved. The total saving for the
year through rearranging the farm
stead was 217.3 miles.
1t was also figured up and found
that at living wages, that the time
used up in walking these 217.3 miles
was worth $36.74. 1t must be remem
bered that it was not only case OF
walking these miles, but it was usually
with something to carry.

HULLESS OATS GIVE
ONLY SMALL YIELD
Until Further Improved They
Hardly Seem Worthy of Atten-
ton From Grower.

The Washington experiment station
obtained a small quantity of hulless
oats from the United States depart.
ment Of agriculture in 1904. These and
other hulless varieties have been
tested with the ordinary ones, which
have hulls on, for the past several
years. The average yield for two
years test in the grain nursery SHOWS
that Chinese hulless oats, one of the
most common varieties, produced 43
per cent of the yield of Swedish Select
oats. An improved hullesS oat which
was produced at the Washington ex-
pertinent station by crossing the Chi
nese hulless on the Palouse Wonder
oat, produced Y per cent of the yield
produced by Swedish Select during the
same two years.
The best hulless oats under field con-
ditions produced only SO per cent Of
the yield of Swedish Select. Besides
producing low level, most of the
hulless varieties have a tendency to
shatter badly and are often susceptible
to nut, thus further reducing the
yield of the harvested crop. Attempts
are being made to improve these
hulless varieties by crossing them on
some of the better yielding varieties.
Until hu1less oats are further improved
! they would hardly seem to be worthy
of attention from the grower, except
where they are to be used for special
purpose.

TEN GOOD REASONS
FOR BUILDING SILO
Professor Skinner of Purdue Tells
Why Every Farmer Should
Have Huge Receptacle.

Ten reasons why every farmer who
keeps live stock should have a stlo,
written by Prof. J. H. Skinner Of Fur-
due university, should afford some SELL
ing argument for dealers. They are
as follows:
1. The silo preserves the palatabil-
ity and succulence Of the green corn
plant for winter feeding.
2. It helps to make use of the en-
tire corn plant.
8. The silo increases the live stock
capacity of the farm.
4. Silage is a good summer feed
when pastures are short.
5. Because of the small amount Of
ground space required by the silo it
is an economical means of storing for
age.
6. The silo prevents waste of corn
stalks, leaves and husks, which con-
tain about two-fifths of the feeding
value Of the corn plant.
Z. The si1o located near the feed
| manger is an assurance Of having feed
near at hand in stormy as well as fair
weather.
8. The silo assists in reducing the
cost Of grains in fattening cattle and
| sheep.
9. Silage greatly increases the milk
| flow during the winter season and de-
creases the cost of production.
10. There are no stalks to bother
in the manure when corn is put into
! the SilO.

GREAT IMPORTANCE OF REST
Continued Fatigue Works Much In
jury, Says Ohio OsteoPathist-
Sleep Restores Cells.

The sanitation of each individual
cell of the human body is the great
est sanitary problem that confronts
man, according to DR.. OrreH E. Smith
of Indianapolis, who recently addressed
the Central Ohio OsteOpathic assocIa-
ton on the value of REST as Thera-
peutic Agent" Doctor Smith declared
that mo greater service is ever rem
dered to the body in health or disease
than that of establishing the most
favorable conditions for sleep and
rest" These are imperatively needed
for cellular reconstruction and restora-
ton following physical and mental ef-
fort, he said.
The delicate organism of the cells
may be permanently injured by :long
and persistent hours of work without
sufficient rest" Fatigue and overwork
result in the accumulation Of waste
and harmful material in the cells and
thus change their chemical compost

NITRATE OF SODA AS
POTASH SUBSTITUTE
Continuous Growing of Same Crop
on Piece of Land Draws HeaV-
lily on Plant Food.

Rotation Of crops is the best plan
to follow because the continuous
growing Of the same crop on q piece
Of land draws heavily upon certain
kinds of plant food. DR.. William P.
Brooks, director of the Massachusetts,
station, says that nothing will wholly
take the place of potash for crops,
but next to that would be nitrate Of
soda, for the chemical action Of soda
tends to unloose potash in the soil.
Acid phosphates should also be
used. At the present price of pot
ash corn stalks are worth $40 per
ton for the potash in them. The eff
feet of lime on crops has been exag-
gerated. 1t is Injurious rather than
beneficial in growing tobacco, but is
better for onions, and he recommends
It for this purpose. Land plaster is
better than lime for tobacco.

were hardly playing fair, to throw a
fainting woman on his hands just then,
at time when he was all preoccupied
with his own absorbing tragedy.
Even while this thought was rum
ming through his mind, he was gather
ing the slight young body into his
arms; and he found it really astonish-
ingly easy to rise and bear her to
the bed. Then turning to his handbag,
he opened it and produced a small,
leather-bound flask of brandy; little
of which would go far toward shatter-
ing her syncope, he fancied.
1t did, in fact; few drops between
her half-parted lips, and she came to
with disconcerting rapidity, opening
dazed eyes in the middle of a spasm of
coughing. He stepped back, stoppering
the flask.
''That's better" he said pleasantly
'Now lie still while 1 fetch you q

AS he turned to the washstand his
foot struck the tumbler she had
dropped. He stopped short, frowning
down at the great, staring, wet, vel.

carpet. Together with this discovery
he got a whiff Of an acrid-sweet

UNCLE SAM WILL ENDEAVOR
TO AMERICANIZE IMMIGRANTS
Launches Campaign to Induce 100000
Non-EngIish Speaking Residents
to Attend Night School.

Uncle Sam has inaugurated a great
"America First" campaign. The object
of this movement is to induce 100000
non-English speaking immigrants in
the United States to attend night
school and learn the language Of
America. The campaign is directed
by the United States bureau of edu-
cation, which is a part of the depart
ment of the interior.
The commissioner of education has
designated men dealing with the immi-
gratt's problems from every angle to
serve on a national committee of 100
to further the purposes of the cam
paign. This action is the result of
resolutions adopted by two Americana
zation conferences held during the re-
cent meetings Of the National Educa-
tional association in Detroit and in
New York, at which times it was de-
cided that the removal of the inability
of the foreign-born residents to speak
English could be fastened by concert
ed effort and cooperation of all inter-
ested agencies and individuals work
ing intensively on a nationwide basis
prior to or Immediately subsequent to
the opening of evening schools in Oc-
tober.
Letters Of appointment were sent to
representative industrial leaders, edu-
Gators, labor and immigration officials,
state officials, editors, officers of pa
triotic, civic and racial organizations
and public spirited citizens in every
section of the United States. The
function of the committee will be to
cooperate with the bureau in enlist
ing the active interest of school super
intendents, chambers of commerce
commercial organizations, industrial
establishments, labor unions and pri.
vate organizations.
For the purpose of enlisting native
and foreign-born American citizens II
the America First" campaign an en-
rollment blank headed "Sign this caro-
and join the Americanization move
ment" will be used. Thousands o,
these cards, asking each signer for hi!
personal help, will be disseminated IL
states and cities where immigrants re
side. Through the active assistance
secured in this manner the bureau ex
poets to be able to reach thousands O
other way. Cooperating subcommit
tees will be appointed in the principa
immigrant communities.
