Pleased with the Results of Top-Dres-
sing with Chemicals.
In 1915, eleven top-dressing demon
strations were made by Orleans county
farmers in cooperation with the county
agricultural agent. In some cases the
fertilized plot yielded four tons to the
acre while the unfertilized portion
fromthe same field yielded but two tons
per acre. The extra hay cost the
farmers from ST. 80 to S. 90 per ton.
Nitrate of soda, acid phosphate, muri-
ate of potash and Peruvian guano were
used in the mixture which cost the
farmers 1852 per ton. The amour t
applied varied from 200 to 300 pounCs
per acre.
Many farmers saw the results and
were convinced Much more top-dres-
sing than usual was done in Orleans
county this year and a large per cent of
the chemicals ordered through the o.
leans County Farmers Exchange were
secured for this purpose.
Not all of the farmers knew of the
results in 1915 and not all farmers
could be convinced in one year so Is
top dressing demonstrations are being
conducted this year under supervision
Of the county agent. Mr.. Deuel. ex-
poets them to be some Of his very best
demonstrations and feels that every
farmer should see at least one. They
viii be given in the following towns
Albany. lrasburg. Barton, Newport,
Craftsbury, Bloomington, Greensboro
and Glover.
= On account of the unusual fertilizer
situation, this year, mixture differ
ing little from that of last year was
used, which cost the farmers SAT- SO per
ton. The best way to know how much
good is derived from county agent
work is to see some of the demonstra-
tons and see how many farmers are
putting the information to a practical
test.

Politeness.

While young people are preparing
for active life, it will be we'll for them
to remember that one of the best aids
to personal popularity and real success
is politeness. We have known more
than one man of great talent to make
an utter failure for lack of it. There
are preachers whose abilities in the
pulpit are undeniable. who yet fail to
secure and hold the places they might
occupy, both as preachers and pastors,
because they seem to know and care
nothing about the rules of polite
society. There are physicians who
might double their practice at once if
they would mend their manners.
There are lawyers whose excessive
rudeness is the chief hindrance in the
way of their professional success.
Plenty OF business men by the exer-
else of little more politeness, might
greatly increase their trade. 1t is
entirely safe to say that there are
thousands upon thousands of people
are held, and the small success they
are making, almost entirely to their
own coarseness and vulgarity. If they
were only more polite they would have
a great many more friends and find
life quite different thing from the
failure they have made it.
There are good many fools in this
world, but one of the biggest of them
is the man who prides himself upon
his boorishness and incivlity. People
tolerate such men, it is true, because
of the real worth they possess, not
with standing this particular folly, but
at the same time it is only federation,
and even that is yielded grudgingly.
However rich people may be, or what

Bird Commuters.

Thrushes, fnches and buntings are
the most stylish birds of Washington
and Oregon, where they aim to spend
the winter, but are forced frequently
to take weekend trips to California il
the weather grows too severe, says
the indianapolis News. Bright moon
lit nights are always chosen for these
temporary migrations, and as soon as
the weather modifies the birds return
to their chosen North, even though
another trip may soon be necessary.

1t is surprising to note how many
Vermont papers are not coming out for
Page. In fact a census of the press
of the state would show more of the
recognized leading papers with a lead
ing distinctly away from him. This
should disabuse the minds of the people
who think the press is controlled by its
advertising patronage, because Page
has been one of the most liberal adver.
tisers in Vermont for a number of
years. The fact of the case is, the
press of Vermont is one of the most in
dependent influences in the state, &C.
tuated by honest and unselfish motives.

to Mr.. Batcheldel's stand on the booze
question in connection with the first

commanding. It seems that when he
was asked to raise regiment of cav

with several points understood. The
first was that no man joining the COM

Major Batchelder said:

A Paris dispatch dated July tells
something of the destruction of prop

"Seven hundred and ffty-three COM
munes or townships, have been wrecked
through military operations in France
since the beginning of the war, accord
ing to statistics gathered by the min
istry of the interior with view to
ascertaining the total damage caused
by the hostilities. These communes
are distributed over IL of the depart
ments of France including those in
Arennes still occupied wholly by the
Germans, who are in possession of 2,554
towns of the total of 36,247 in all
France, or per cent. Houses to the
number of 1860 have been totally
destroyed in the communes. In 148
communes the proportion of houses de-
stroyed exceeds so per cent, while it is
80 per cent in "a towns and less than so
per cent in the remainder. Public build
ings destroyed in 428 communes were
33l churches, 379 schools, POI town halls,
800 other public buildings of various
