Vulcanizing Machine Blows Up

Two plate glass windows and 30
other windows were blown out, 4 hole
was smashed through an outer wal:,
and the ceiling sheathing was pune
turcd when a vulcanizing machine
blew up at the tire repairing and au-
tomobile accessory shop of James ).
Hastings in Barre. The strange part
of the occurance was that Mr.. Hast
ings and John Calrick of the Barre
Gas Co., who were standing within
three feet of the machine, escaped
with their lives as huge missiles were
hurled in several directions by the
force of the 45-pound pressure as rc-
gistered on the steam gauge.
The vulcanizer had been leaking
and the two men were inspecting the
piece of equipment at the time the
explosion occurred. Mr.. Carrick
stood almost in front of the vulcaniz-
er, while Mr.. Hastings was leaning
over another piece of equipment to
see where the leak was on the back
side, preparatory to marking for re-
pairs. Ben Batchelder, a repair man,
stood at the bench on the other side
of the little shop, somewhat out oil
the range of the explosion but not so
far away that he escaped being show
cred with glass.
Without warning the machine blew
up, one of the side pieces of cast iron
flying away from the men and going
entirely through the wooden outer
wall OF the shop. The top section of
so pounds of cast iron shot straight
up and smashed a hole in some new
half-inch seathing and then dropped
back to the floor with sufficient force
to dslodge one of the boards. The
air pressure left scarcely whole
window pane nj the whole shop, and
the glass was flying in all directions,
the three men being showered with
fragments. The two plate glass win
dows in the store in the front of the
shop were reduced to fragments, the
sidewalk being strewn with the
wreckage, while the floor was almost
literally covered with glass.
Both Mr.. Hastings and Mr.. Carrick
were considerably cut about the face
and hands from flying fragments and
the latter was soon taken to an eye
physician to have his injuries attend
ed to.

PEACE"
(By Franklin ID. Hale)

Bring all the high hung, deep toned
bells of earth today;
Let songs of freest Joy sweep every
fear away;
Bid children play as never they have
played before,
And men and women sing hosannahs
DER and Ger
For peace has come again, and warm
ing sun
And natures healing rain, will once
more make
The bright faced peoples grow in
Flanders Field.
No more the thunder of the can
mons awful voice
Shall stifle hearts that would in hap
piness rejoice;
No more the leaping "o'er the top"
at sharp command;
No more the hcartless tragedies in
"No Mans Land"
No more the shrieking sound of hell
ism, bursting shell;
No more the sufferings of which our
heroes tell;
No more the wicked devastation war
has wrought;
No more the crimes, as trophies by
ambition sought.
No more the tears of womankind
with burdened love
Shall call unheard for mercy, to the
God above;
No more shall innocence and virtue
strive in vain
Against brutishness that untamcd
beasts disdain.
No more the frightful conflict in the
upper air,
Where only heroes are inspired to do
and dare;
No more the midnight raids by I'M
seen foes o'erhead
Dropping death bombs even on chill
dren in their bed.
No more the dread antagonist meath
ocean waves
Will doom great ships with all on
board to ocean graves;-
No more will public trust and honor
be betrayed
By traitors who in prison garb should
be arrayed.
Fling free to Heavens winds Old
Glory with her stars,
Fill every hill and dale with echoing
huZzahs-
Open the door of every cottage in
the land
To welcome home the thousands of
our hero band.
Let every friend of liberty for all
mankind,
And all who would by truth and JUS
tice all men bind,
Join hands around a sacrificing, world,
and swear
That henceforth Peace, the victor's
crown shall proudly wear.
For Peace has come again, and warm
ing sun
And natures healing rain, will once
more make
The bright faced poppies grow in
Flanders field.

BETTER MEALS FOR
THE SCHOOL CHILDREN

An effort to secure better noon
day meals, with at least one warm
dish, for school children is receiving
the attention Of home demonstration
agents, county agents, and school
officials in Iowa. Farmers warm
water for cows in cold weather, cook
feed for hogs in winter, and heat
coffee for themselves when lunching
out in the timber during the wood
cutting season, but too often allow
their children to eat cold food at noon
day after day." says an Iowa county
superintendent who strongly favors
warm school lunches for country
school children. Something warm at
noon will benefit the children physi-
cally and mentally. They will also
learn something of good-food princi-
pies, serving and table etiquette if
the right teacher is on the job"

GROW VELVET BEANS
IN YOUR CORN FIELD

The demand for foodstuffs is so
great that every acre under culti-
walton will be expected to produce
a maximum yield during the coming
season.
Much will be expected from the
corn crop. Good seed, good prepare
ton, fertilization, and cultivation Of
the land will produce good yield
of corn, but for the maximum yield
of foodstuffs every corn field should
have some leguminious crop also.
Of the crops that grow we'll with
corn the velvet bean is the most I'M
portant. The farmers of South Geor-
gia have come to appreciate its value
and have been making good use of it
for the last few years. In north
Georgia it should be used to much
greater extent. Some of the advan-
tages of the velvet bean are that it
yields a large amount of forage per
acre, it does not reduce the yield of
corn under the proper conditions, the
vines and pods can be grazed after
frost, the seed cost per acre is small,
and it is the best soil building crop
that we have.
The, variety best adapted to this
section of the country is a round
speckled seed, black hulled, medium
vining bean known as the Alabama.
1t has also been called the 80 day,
running, 100 day, and medium early
by farmers and seedsmen.
The velvet bean is best adapted to
sandy soils but will grow we'll on the
better classes of clay soils. A general
rule for planting is to drop bean
beside every hill of corn. At this
rate bushel of beans will plant from
A to 5 acres. Where corn is planted
very early it is a good plan to plant
the beans after the corn is up, but
for late corn it is best to plant the
beans with the corn.
Velvet beans vii make fodder pull
ling difficult and in some cases i'm
possible. This has prevented some
farmers from planting them in the
corn field, but such complaints are
never heard after the beans have
been grown once. Z. o. McMahan,
County Agent.

ate the wonderful virtues of calomel
when robbed of all it's unpleasant and

stipation and indigestion is most de-
lightful.

early plants, the seed should be placed
in hotbeds and given careful atten-
ton until the plants are ready to set
out.
Sweet potatoes respond to the use
of fertilizers, especially well balanced
commercial fertilizers, mixed with the
soil underneath the rows. Four hun
bred to five hundred pounds to the
acre has been found in some cases to
almost double the crop. A great deal
depends upon the way the plants start
and if they are set when the soil IS
in the right condition and little wa
ter poured in around each plant, they
will start off promptly. The impor-
tant point is to begin now and select
the best available.
The demand for sweet potatoes IS
increasing and new uses are being
found for them every year. They
are good human food and are worth
growing for stock feed. Recently 1t
has been found that very fair grade
of syrup can be made from surplus
sweet potatoes. Give your sweet po-
tato crop more attention.-L. & y.

is ANY ONE STILL
UNCONVINCED OF THIS :?

To the American Breeder: Here
are ten good reasons why every farm
err who keeps livestock should have a
silo:
/. The silo preserves the palata-
bility and succulence of the green
corn plant for winter feeding.
2. 1t helps to make use Of the en-
tire corn plant.
8. The silo increases the livestock
capacity of the farm
a. 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
forage.
6. The silo prevents waste of
corn, stalks, leaves and husks which
contain about two fifth of the feed
ing value of the corn plant
7. The silo 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 decreases the cost of production.
10. There are no stalks to bother
in the manure when corn is put into
the silo. American Breeder.

BREWER|ES BECOME
MALTOSE FACTORIES

A big problem confronting the
breweries is the utilization OF the
plants, equipment, and labor hereto
fore employed for the production OF
beer. Many breweries are consider
ing, and some have begun the manu-
facture of maltese sugar strip which
requires but little additional equip
ment and which utilizes barley, one of
the principal materials used in the
making of beer.
Maltese is a sugar which in addi-
ton to being sweet has a pleasant
flavor, and otherwise resembles cane
sugar. 1t can be used to advantage
in numerous food products. The
breweries, being already equipped
with much of the machinery necessary
for the manufacture of maltese, and
as their employees are acquainted
with most OF the processes, the con-
version of the maltese from the starch
in barley, corn, etc, is simple mat
ter.
Maltese propaganda on anything
like a large scale was begun by eN-
perts of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture when the sugar
shortage became acute, IS months
ago. They recommended its use, in
the strip form, in soft drinks, in ice
cream and confections, in bread max
ing, and as a table strip. Recently
brewers have been making pilgrim
ages to Washington to consult with
the experts of the department both on
matters of converting plants and of
outlets for the product.
The breweries have heretofore used
in beer making about 70,000,000 bu
shells of barley annually, more than
one-fourth of the crop. The maltese
industry, when developed, is likely
to furnish market for an equal
quantity.

GIVE SWEET POTATOES
MORE ATTENTION

The sweet potato crop of the South
has increased wonderfully in impor-
lance during the past two years; in
fact, it has always been one of the es-
sential foods for local use. Too often
it has been the habit to grow the crop
in a careless, manner, but careful
methods of seed selection and planting
the crop on good soil give returns that
make the extra trouble we'll worth
while.
If a special lot of seed was not
picked out last year and carefully
stored, now is the time to locate and
save the best available. The seed
should not be bedded until the ground
is warm or, if it is desirable to start
