Rooting Plant.


 It's strange that so few have any conception of the number of plants that may be successfully rooted by even the amateur. Any one who has visited a nursery or green house, must have observed the multiplication of countless plants, without think ing or knowing how it was ac- complished. It is not possible here to go into the subject of what may be rooted and what is impossible, but to suggest the profitableness- of ex- perimentation. To Illustrates: A cer- tain lady living in the country, with in 10 miles of Birmingham, rooted 75 cape jasmins last year from a single bush. She sold the lot to a dealer in the past month for 50 cents each. The plants retailed at75 cents to S1.50 each. Another young lady spent s5 for one dahlia root. a new

stalking and Pruning Tomatoe.

Most every method of managing tomatoes has it's good points. We are already being asked questions on this point In the small garden, or when tomatoes are grown for market. the advantage of pruning and stalking has more in its favor than the letting of the plants follow the course of nature. In pruning. you should make up your mind just how many branches are desired and all others should be pinched out when very small. and not allowed to cucumber the plant. Suitable stakes, and be sure they are tall enough. should be set when the plants begin to branch and careful tying must be done as often as it seems necessary. Most people set plants too close. They should be from 21z to 3 feet in drills and rows no closer than 3h to feet
 Tomatoes not trained or pruned should be given greater distance They have a much longer bearing period and produce more fruit than trained vines, although usually smaller, and there Is liable to be more losses from rot but the plants are less liable to blight and stand dry weather better.

Mr.. Fleetwood said that under
the modern order of things women
should be leading an important
factor in all matters pertaining
to human welfare. The home is
the place of all power in state or
nation, 1t is in the home that
woman's power is strongest and

ed the Auxiliary on their splendid
organization and its great oppor-
tunity to make its influences felt
for the good of the community
and state. The hope of Vermont
and America, he said, in closing,
IS IN her W%OmanhOOd.
Mr.. Proctor called attention to
the fact that people today do not
seem to take their duties and re-
sponsibilities as citizens with as
much seriousness as did our fore
fathers land fore m%others,). Yet
he stressed the fact that the Sc

only possible when each citizen

would all realize that our govern

ans duty and privilege to take her
new responsibilities seriously, and
thereby make life more of a sue

work conscientiously performed.
The speakers were heartily APP

The report of the department

At 6.15 a big banquet was serv-

fair was a total success so far as
reviving the old esprit de corps"
was concerned. Never did the
famous spirit of the "buddies" run
higher. The "feed" was excellent,
the service was of an order to be-
fit the best hotel in the land, and
everybody was in a happy mood.
Governor James H. HARNESS
was a guest at the banquet but
did not speak. Judge Leonard F.

several members from various
