TOLD OF KlTCHENER'S DEATH
Interesting Story That Has Recently
Appeared in Book Published by
English Author.

Lady Angela Forbes in her book
Memories and Base Details" says
that Lord Kitchener was interested in
spiritualism, and that he was undoubt.
eddy not only interested, but be,
lever in IT.:
"Count Hamon, better known as
Cheiro, told me a story which to the
incredulous may only appear as coinci-
dence, but cannot fail to be interest
ing.
"Count Hamon was a friend of
Kitchener's, and In reading his horo-
scope had, apparently, always told him
that his death would be a sudden one,
but that he need not anticipate danger
In the field of battle. Just before Lord
X. went abroad, Count H. went to the
war office, and K. showed him a little
blue vase, which he had once given
him as a mascot, and told him that he
always kept 1t on the table. He asked
Count II. II there was anything he
could do for him before he left the
country. The count replied In the mega
tive, but K. told him there was one
thing he would do-if anything hap
pened to him he would give him sign.
At the very hour the Hampshire went
down, Count Hamon was in the music
room of his house In the country, at one
end of which was a large hatchment,
securely nailed to the wall. For no
reason at all 1t fell with crash, and
might have been cleft in two by an ak.
Count Hamon guessed instantly that
something had happened to Lord
Kitchener, and that this must be the
promised sign"

MORE PASTURE FROM LESS
ACRES.

| Improvement in the growth and
quality of pasture grasses is better
insurance of sufficient pasture feed
than is increased acreage, says DIR.
Ernest Van Alstine, of the Agronomy
Department at the University of
Vermont and State Agricultural Col
lege. The fact that doubling the
growth will give as much feed on an
acre as grew before on two acres is
only part, in many cases only a
small part of the reason for this.
Plants, like human beings, most
often suffer and die when they are
in weakened condition. Pestilence,
disease and death reap their greatest
toll during a famine and children
are the first victims. The same sort
of troubles harass the starved pas
ture grasses that have their courag-
eous little heads nibbled off when
ever they are high enough to tempt
the bite of hungry cattle. When
hard times, from the standpoint of
grasses, come along, such times as
hot scorching dry summers and
severe winters with their ice coat
ings, the plants that suffer first and
suffer most will be those that are
smallest and least vigorous, those
that have been under-nourished.
After such time man with 80
acres of pasture land may find him
self with very much less than half
the feed for his stock than the man
with 40 acres of pasture which has
been kept vigorous and healthy by
the use of sufficient nourishment
along with proper management.

TIME TO SPRAY FRUIT TREES.
First Application Within Week.

The annual spraying time has
come. The warm weather of the
past week has seemed to advance the
fruits to stage fit for the first ap-
plication of a dormant spray, says
M B Cummings, Horticultural Speci-
alist for the Extension Service of
the University of Vermont, College
of Agriculture. This early spray is
not needed every year, in fact in
general, about one year in three is
sufficient to control such pests as are
suppressed at this season of the
year, namely scale insects, blister
mites, etc.
Inasmuch as the seasonal develop
ment varies in different parts of the
state one needs to make some adj
justments in accordance with his To-
cation. In southern Vermont the
time is ripe now for the first spray;
in. central Vermont there is plenty
of time, and one may delay perhaps
a week, whereas in sections north
of Burlington and Montpelier a delay
of 10 days may not be too great.
The recommended solutions are the

CHANCE TO FIND OUT

slve taxation. any legislative measure
looking TO real economy should commend
itself to the sympathetic attention of the
house, and we feel that the passage OF
this resolution and the work of the com
mittee which will be done under its au-
thority win result in the saving of mil
lions annually.
1t can be predicted with considerable
assurance that nothing win come Of
this proposed voyage of discovery I'M

tanned interest in it. One thing is al

Sentatives-it is representative. If
we breathe warmly upon it, It CLOVIS.
If we are Indifferent it becomes cold.
This isn't the first time that plan
has been set in motion to find out
something about how the governments
business is conducted.
The earliest inquiry into The adj
mlnistrative methods of the executive
departments was made by the Cockrell
commission in 1887. Six years later,
in 1893, joint commission, of which
Representative Dockery was chairman,
was appointed to examine the status
of the laws organizing the depart
ments. President Roosevelt in 1908
named an interdepartmental committee,
of which G. III. Keep, assistant secre-
tary of the treasury, was chairman. to
consider department methods. Presi-
dent Taft in turn, In 1910, named a
commission on economy and efficiency
of which Frederick Cleveland was

Broadly and generally speaking,
nothing came of these enterprises,

time. The great executive depart

been recognized or greatly modern

Representative Reavis Of Nebraska
Is one of the members of this joint
congressional committee that is MAX

the resolution through the house that
brought about the appointment of the

ought TO know what he is talking about
when he says that while the gov

the worlds worst managed business"
That is an indictment and a state
