BRADSTREETS VERMONT
WEEKLY TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's Burlington Office reports
the general feeling among manufacturing
interests with the close of the first quar-
ter Of the year is that, everything con-
sidered. the present conditions are reas-
onably good. There is uncertainty re-
garding price valuations of raw ma
terial and with this in view manufacture
ers are accepting orders for domestic
purposes for immediate delivery, but for
future shipments they are not being en-
couraged as much as in former periods.
The week Just closed has been attended
with seasonable weather. which has ma
terially benefited retail merchants trade,
although among merchants in certain To-
calities the volume Of business is more
or less restricted. Some work has been
done In the maple sugar orchards and
as the product comes slowly into the
market the establishment of prices Is de-
ferred. Sap is reported as containing a
larger proportion Of sweet than usual.
The best runs will be attended following
storm. Labor conditions are such as
to interfere with a larger working of
maple orchards.
Wooden mills and producers Of shoddy
report specially active demand and out
look is for a further continuance of the
demand. Flannels are moving well.
overall manufacturers report good BUSH
ness" The general time is for an i'm
provement In collections. Country travel,
as is to be expected at this period Of the
year. Is not good. owing to poor condi-
ton of roads
The failure reports for the month just
closed, four in number. were less than
those for the same month a year ago. A
like number was reported during March,
1916. but the amount of money involved
this year was II per cent. greater. The
year 1916 showed the smallest amount of
money involved for any Of the past four
years.
The first quarter Of the present year
recorded 16 failures with total assets of
$N.4o2 and total liabilities Of $1O7, 3ls. This
was less in number and in money in
volved than was noted for the same quar-
ter In 1917. and while 1916 recorded as
many failures the amount Of money in
volved for the quarter just closed was
only 5000 greater.

All these measures of cooperation from

VALUE OF ALsIKE CLOVER.

Many farmers have been discouraged
| IN trying to grow and secure a good
stand of red or mammoth clover. This
be due to lack of limestone in the
SOIL which tends to create an arid con
dition' or the land may not be suffi-
| GENTLY underdrained. The common red
clover cannot stand wet feet and does
not grow luxuriantly on worn soils.
Those who realize the necessity of
growing leguminous crop in their rota-
ton and cannot grow the red or mammoth
clover successfully, cannot afford to over
look the value of alsike as worthy sub
stitute. While it does not make quite as
desirable hay as the red clover, a good
stand will make as large yield. We
nave put up some mighty good alsike
nay and large quantity Of alsike and
timothy mixed. The combination makes
good feed for horses and young grow

soil so wet that red clover would be

WHERE THEY BUY SMALLPOX.

In dangerous and infested Africa the
natives to live at all must learn something
of the human body and certain remedies.
And they have done so.
They know a good deal about herbs and
their curative properties. case is rec
orded of black In Bechuanaland who
was able to cure Boer woman when the
English doctor had given her UP. She had
boils and blood poisoning and seemed in
extremity. One Of the Beers native drivers
received permission to call in a bush doc
tor. The bushman sat silently watching
the patient for n time and then trotted
Off over the veldt for some distance
gathering a variety Of herbs as he went.
Returning, he boiled water over the fire,
throwing into the pot his collection Of
medicines. When the infusion was ready
he gave the patient great bowls Of 1t to
drink and also bathed her sores in the
decoction. Within twenty-four hours she
was able to laugh at the white doctor and
thank the black.
Other tribes like the Ekoi practice a
| simple surgery. One man who was gored
In the abdomen by an elephant was nicely
patched with calabash placed inside to
keep his fntestines in place. To be sure,
you could see the shape of the calabash
forever after but the patient entirely re-
covered.
The Akamba, also, are said to be very
skilful In surgical operations and very
knowing about the human frame. They
set broken legs In a very sensible fashion,
placing the patient in a hollow in the
earth. where the leg Is buried in heated
loan while his upper body is free. There
ne sits, guarded by his companions from
wild animals. until the bone is knit.
Cupping and scarifying are common
means Of reducing Inflammation. In fact
they are so much used that many a
patient is badly enfeebled from the loss
of blood.
Baths are appreciated in Africa as a
health measure. Kroo women battle them
selves and their husbands and children in
hot water every day. Sick people are some-
times wrapped in blanket and steamed
made to take a cool walk and another
bath. quite according to the methods of
Battle Creek.
But the most surprising practice that
the Africans have worked out is the So
called buying Of smallpox" Somehow
they have discovered the principle of vac
cination and the theory that a light attack
Of smallpox renders the patient immune
from worse attacks. The mother who
breads the illness for her children. when
she learns Of case in the neighborhood,
goes to the afflicted hut and asks to buy
the smallpox. She is given some virus for
which she pays with the gift Of handker-
chief. At home she scratches her child's
arm and applies the virus and feels as re-
lieved as an American mother when it
begins to "take."-By Hester Donaldson
Jenkins. in World Outlook
