In the congress Of Berlin, 1873, Ger.

In 1888 the KEEL canal was begun.
The triple alliance had been con-

her strongest bases for the present
war on nrttinS Rhippiag.
When Kaiser Willjam u. cana -

waned, and finally he was dismissed.
Emperor William has constantly
pursued an aggressive foreign policy.
He used the murder OF two German
missionaries in China, in 1898, as an
excuse for taking from China, as In.

which Japan In ti1rn captured from him
after the outbreak Of the present war.

France and Britain, attempted to test
its strength by antagonizing the

Britain stood by France and war,
which for Q time seemed inevitable,

Study of Beet Roots.

Ten years patient watching and
study indicate that difference In size,
total sugar content and percentage Of
sugar of beet roots furnish no evidence
of inheritance and that there is no cor
relation between percentage or guam
tity Of sugar of roots of ordinary sizes
and their yield of seed, nor between
their yield Of seed and percentage Of
sugar in progeny. The conclusion
reached is that the tluctuation In the
percentage and yield of sugar may be
now regarded as due to soil conditions,
both as to natural formations and cul-
tivation Of fertilizer methods practiced.

TO STRENGTHEN THE MILITIA.
A hearing on the bill to allow the
Governor to draft men to serve in com
panies of the National Guard which are
not up to minimum strength was held
on Tuesday, Gen. Tillotson explained
the bill and stated that it was designed
to use the draft only in cases of emer-
gency. Men could be drafted only from
the counties in which companies are To-
Gated and only unmarried men of
military age would be liable, President
Thomas spoke in advocacy of the
measure, urging that Vermont keep up
to the standard of its military traditions.
He spoke highly of the efficiency of the
First Infantry and said that it was
necessary to keep up this one Regiment
Of Vermont at high standard, so that
it might serve as the nucleus of larger
force in time of need.

CHICKEN CHATTER.

A few thorough applications of crude
petroleum to the interior Of poultry
houses will destroy completely the com
mon red mite infesting chickens.
Notwithstanding that many good
breeds have been imported, the fact re-
mains that not one Of them can be
classed with our American production
After blowing and before seeding
turn the poultry in on the freshly turn

Remember that a weak chick in most
