must explain that the German En-
press has the most deep-rooted aver
sion for anything connected with
spiritualism and spiritualists, and that
was the reason why the Kaiser held
his seances at the Bismarck, for the
Empress absolutely refused to allow
them to be held at either the Neues
Palais or the Imperial Palace.
| Had the Emperor insisted on hav-
| ing his own way and on holding the
seances at the Imperial palace he
could only have done SO at the risk
of creating court scandal of a very
sensational character.
| Augusta Echoen, who had once been
on the music hall stage, scored great
success at one of the first Bismarck
seances. She declared that she was
in communication with a Countess
| Berger, a former lady of the Imperial
household, who had died some few
years previously. She evidently had
acquired some knowledge about the
countess history and a life at court
and the Kaiser was distinctly inn

HORSE CLUB
TO OFFER PREMIUMS
z. c. Ryder Hopeful That the Addison
County Fair Will Get Slice of
the Prizes.

MIDDLEBURY, March 26.-Eben c..
Ryder, member of the governing
board of the Morgan Horse club, who
recently attended a meeting of the or
ganization in New York. has issned
the following statement regarding the
adyisability Of the club Offering pre-
miums for Morgan horse exhibits at
the coming Addison County fair:
At a meeting of the Morgan Horse
club held in New York March ia, there
We're letters read by c. c. stillman,
who is the treasurer Of the Union Pa
cific railroad, also secretary and treas
urer Of the club, frow, gcrt lemon, who
are much interested in the Morgan
horse from three Of the middle wpst
states, requesting the club to offer pre-
miums for Morgan classes which they
propose to make at their state fairs.
. Now il has always been the object
Of the Morgan Horse club to advance
the interest of the Morgan horse rather
than to create a large surplus. and the
matter was favorably received by all
present.
- As there is at present quite a sur.
plus in the treasury and being deepl1
interested in the success of our Addi-
son County fair it seemed to me a vere
opportune time to say a good word
for it. You will remcmber that a few
years ago the club gave special prizes
| here for the Morgan horse, paving the
same in gold coin enclosed in very
| pretty plush eases. As the number OF
| horses exhibited seemed not to warrant
the continuance of the same prizes were
Withdrawn.
!" Now the club is anxious TO do ev
/ erything it can to further the interest
/ Of the Morgan horse, and is willing to
renew those classes, or others. as ma
seem best at our fair this fail, if III,
people on this side of the mountain
will only take hold of the matter with
some interest, and do their share b.
making good exhibit of these most
useful and elegant horses.
"Whilc | understand full well that
the heavy draft horse has his plac,
of usefulness and am glad indeed t
see the fine exhibit that we have hat
here in that class for n number o.
years, | very much regret that ouI
beautiful Morgans for which Addison
county was so famous in former wear,
have been dropping away year by yea
until the show made by them at gu
1916 fair was, to say the least, no
very creditable.

Around the edges of your garden you
have probably discovered places for
permanent beds of asparagus and rhu-
barb, for a few strawberry plants, and
possibly for some other small fruits,
ike currants, the bushes of which bear
annually.
As for the bulk of your produce,
please your own taste and that of your
family, always remembering that it is
better in small garden to specialize
on q few vegetables, preferably those
like string beans, peas and radishes,
which taste better the fresher they are,
than to grow little driblets of every
thing, but not enough of any one thing
to be worth the trouble.
Suggestions for early planting in an

thought it was the cleanest and freest
from unquestionable midway exhibits
of any fair in the state, bnt that they
missed the large show of Morgan horses
that used to be on exhibition here in
former years.
cit is a well known fact that no
horse on earth can excel the Morgan
when properly bred as to stamina and
size, for cavalry purposes.
- Mai. c. A. Benton, a retired cayal-

buying cavalry horses for the govern
ment, told me that if he could be rs

suitable for cavalry purposes in this
