THE IUJRIjJNGTON FRKH'-WllSSS, THURSDAY, APRIL 'Mh 1RH6. LOYAL YERMONTERS MEET, SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE GREEN MOUNTAIN STATE, i An Knjojnblo Annual llettnlon Hold With Addretie by Col. J. L. Illoe, flllbert A. 1)tI lllld Othorn A Itnynl Trlliuto to Voriuont. ,Tho third annual banquet of the Sons and Daughters of Vermont, In Springfield, Mans,, when was held Monday, April 20, was an unusually pleasant affair, and was largely attended. The Republican speaks of tho event In part as follows: Tho largo dlnltiK room wan well filled with those present, and Landlord Marsh served an excellent eourso dinner, during which tho Springfield orchestral club fur nished music. Frank 15. I.utld, president of the association, presided, and tho speak ers Included Gilbert A. Davis, a prominent lawyer of Windsor, Vt , who has been Staet senator for several years, Capt. S. K. Ilowaid of Newton, Ool. John I Bice, O. D. Adams, ond ltev. William Hal t Dexter. George il.

Forbes, all of them Hons of Vermont. i"1 military organizations, her nt opent Mr. I.add In his address of welcome il,lt Postal nystem, supported an Indeiwnd- spoke as follows: 1 seem to have a double duty devolve upon mo this evening: first, j to most cordially welcome you all to our third annual banquet. Second, to wel come you as guests and as cltlzonv to our beautiful city of Hprlngileld. For, like the immortal Hip Van Wlnkl, bur honored mayor has sworn off especially on ban- j quetv, but unlike him he keeps his pledge. While I am both proud of and loyn.1 to my native Slate of Vermont, I am also proud of and loyal to the city of my adoption and to Massachusetts, and while we have more able speakers who will follow and are still citizens of tho good old State, my remfirks will bo confined more especially to our adopted home. Massachusetts Is no locat ed that it becumo the natural centre and capital of tho New England States nnd the Interest of nil parts of Now Kngland are so closely allied with each other that they practically merge Into ono groat common Interest. Es pecially nro Macsachusettfl and Vermont bound together In all of tho great moral und political questions of to-day and of the last 23 years, and with espejclnl pride oan w-o look uion such statesmen ns F.d miundii ond Morrill, Dawes and Hoar, whos Influenco und ability hnvo been dis played on tho right side of eveiy grout nnd Important question In tho past quar ter of a century. It becomes our duty to sco to It that the stnndnrd Is kept high and to elect such men to our high places. Having passed my eivtlro majority In Springfield my Interests most naturally ore clustered hero. It Is my heartfolt wish that all native Vermontcrs who have made their home. In Sprlnfitleld should see to It that tho native, of MnssachunetM can look with prldo upon us and can say that high grade material makes tho highest grado of citizenship. Capt. S. K, Howard of Boston spoke on ' Our Hoston Neighbors." Ho related tho nnecdoto of Thomas Whlttemore, who, when SO years of ago killed three British soldiers and was left for dead, but lived to bo M years old. Ho attended meetings of Vermont In Boston. There Is tho Ver mont association of Boston, composed of sons nnd daughters of Vermont, a thriving association. They have meetings and en tertainments, but havo not yet had a gum party, but they ore going to have one. He sifeoke of Vermont's strong men; of the gallantry of Vermont's soldiers; of how our thoughts go bock to tho old scenes: of tho sterling Integrity of thn peoplo and tho religious sontlmcnt which pervades the State. Col. John li. Hlco spoke on "Reminis cences." In Mntwachusetts, ho said, every man, woman and child Is supposed to bo ready to talk on overy occasion nnd no occasion, whether called upon or not. The three industries are talking, tool mak ing and cranberry picking. The demand Is great, but tho supply Is greater. Talk Is the only Industry for which a tariff has Jiot been indeed. There Is a large estab llshment on Beacon hill that turns out a largo supply of this artlclo. If you want talk, all you havo to do Is to top tho first person you meet, and the talk gushes forth like tho water from the rock that Moses nmwte. I am a remlnlsccnco myself. I escaped nearly 40 years ago from Vermont und havo been at largo since. At about 12 years ot ae I was put to work with a typical Vermont farmer. Tho work was hard, the food good, the Joys few but wholesome What could be purer or sweeter than sucking cider through a Btraw, one straw, mind you. with tho far mer's daughter? What Influences wero Bwccter and more abiding than tho dis trict school und the parish minister? I liud an ambition to touch school, and my father secured ono In a neighboring town whero I was not known, at $13 a month nnd board. I Journeyed on foot to meet tho examining committee, and by dint of a good momory and good luck I carried away my credentials ns mv prize. I took up my school work with a good deal of misgiving. First I was presented with a "board bill," the taxpayers with whom I wns to board, all tho way from one-third of a day to two weeks In a place. 1 didn't like this, and went first, to tho place whore I wos to stay tho longest. I stayed there four weeks, regardless of hints, and was Anally waited upon by tho committee, and told to move on. Tho next person I stopped with wns a poor man with wheels In his head. He had all the "Ists" and "isms" and other things which ho had Invented. I stayed there five or six weeks but received no hint to move. There was some finesse nbout It, however, and food grew scarcer till there was not onough to keep the schoolmaster alive, and I left. At the next place a young niece was stop ping, a female, seminary graduate, She wanted to know what sort of a school I kept, and so came to school with books, slate and all, gave her name, Indulged In tho most grotesque spelling that a man ever heard, nnd read louder and rulsed her hand oftener than any others. How long It would havo lasted tho Lord only knew, and I had to ask her to quit. She lator becamo the wlfo of a supreme Justice of New Hampshire. Col. Rloo then spoke of the pleasure derived from BUch reunions u the one held lust night. I havo no doubt that we will meet once a year at least and compare notes of the old Green Mountain Stato. O, D. AJams spoke on "Our present home." It Is proper to comparo our pres ent homes with the homes wo had when we loft Vermont, We are proud of our State and we have reason for It. I left Vermont reluctantly, I did not escape from It. I was a humble merchant when tho ctvil war broke out. Prices went up, we sold out and landed In Springfield. When I came here there was a two-hnrsn bus that ran from tho WaterBhops to the uepoi. men came me norso cars mid later our present system. Tho prlncinal comparison I find Is that In my bovhood we did not enjoy the same advantnges our cniuiren nrn enjoying. to.flHV In somn ways our life as children had its advan tages: we becumo self-reliant. A rocky farm was my fortuno. I pity the young man who can't plant a field of corn, tell a wheat field from on oat Hold: I Pity tho woman who cannot make a loaf of bread. Tho time will come when thy will wish they could, I am satisfied In SDrlntrfleld. I don't know that I should want to go duck to Vermont except for hunting and nsning. uur statesmen have a reputa tion tor upsetting tne sencmes or In on t ous men. Wo havo inherited soberness, justice anu ngnt. Tho addronn of Gilbert A. Davis was warmly received, It will bo found below, ADDIIBSS OF GILBERT A. DAVIS. No true Vormonter can, If ho would, for get the lond of his birth. You who havo wandered forth Into tho wilderness, who , have sought and gained homes and chor- lKlioa associations, honor, fame and wealth In other communities, have an abiding lovo for tho murmurlntr rills, the woods and templed hills, tho rugged soil, tho sterling friendships of your earlier days, and for tho momorlcs that olustor around Ver. Wont. Tho romantla storlea of the early settlement of th Stato ot the "Green Mountain boys," of the "Rangers," of the ruao but effectual administration of Jus tlco with tho "ncechen seal" of tho herolo deeds 'of Seth Warner, Kcmember Maker, Kthnn Allen and a host of others, are familiar to us all as twlcn-tqld talos. Mr. Davis then referred to tho pioneer history of tho State. Tho Independence) of Vermont grew out of disputed land titles reslstanen to robbery under tho form of law. National Independence grew out of th'o prlnslcplo Involved In an Insig nificant tax of threepence per pound on tea taxation without representation. I claim that this stato principle was broad- i er and deeper than tho national. In Ver mont, at .Westminster, March 1(1, 177B, ' was shed tho first blood of tho revolution, i and thero fell 'and died William French, i tho first martyr In that holy coilse. This event antedates Dcxlngton and Hunker Hill. It Is n fact not generally known that Vermont has' Its declaration of Indepen dence, adopted at tho Westminster con vention In January, 1777, when tho con vention, for themselves and constituents, proclaimed tho people of tho New Hamp shire grants "a free and Independent Jur isdiction." Tho first constitution of tho State, adopted at Windsor, July P, 1777, Is one of tho landmarks of American Juris prudence. It announces principles that were thou new and Important. This con stitution was modeled on that of l'enncyl vanla, which had boon adopted In 177(1, In a convention presided over by Henjum- jl Franklin. It had a provision that piv- euicuiion sysiem, cornea money nm Issued bills of credit. During this period was enacted n statute of such far-reach ing lmortniice us to bo worthy of mention hero si novelty in American und Kngllsh legislation, and which linn since been copied In different forms In nuiny of the Slnles of tho I'nlon, and Is now recognized ns an eminently Just nnd necessary amelioration of the common law. That wus the statute known ns the "Bet terment act." The substance of that law Is, when the purchaser of lands have mado Improvements In good faith, supposing that they had a good tltlo In fee, they enn not bo evicted without ullowanco of tho vnluo of their Improvements. .After reviewing Vermont's part in tne war of 1S12 nnd Mexican wor, tho speaker dwelt on her exploits In the civil war. The total number ot men furnished by Vermont In tho civil war was 3T,2I2. Tho totiil popu lation of the State at the commencement of he war wns 3ir,W; the total number ot men subject to military duty was C0,"l!i, snowing inai every oincr man ui inn strong; executive committee.

The reverted, or half-solu- fornl, s the most economical form of than the soluble, but' Is equally available to most crops. Potash Is least effected by conditions effecting losses In fertility In tho soli. Whatever the form ot application, ashfs or potash salts, potash Is acted on by soil constituents to form stable compounds comparatively lnsolublo In soil waters, though soluble nnd available to the crop. This property Is not Inlluenced by form of combination, oxide, sulphate anil murl- ato being equally effected. Soluble silicates of potash are the forms chlelly assumed In the soil and this fact has a most Important ''ear h,g on the tails of application. The moro sandy tho soli, the greater the deKreo of this com bination, because tho moro silica Is avail able. Thus tho soil must subject to tho .i08!4 0-f tho potash applied; a fact partly ; explaining tho well recognlzttl benefits of the use of ashes on sandy soils, swnmi. thn innmtltv nf fertilizer to bo onnlled bears directly on tho method of tho same ond, though with greater labor, In this event care must bo exercised that tho fertilizer Is mixed with tho soli before the seed ln planted, lest germination bo prevented by contact with tho corroslvo fertilizer, This form of npplylng. by concentrating the entire action of tho plant-food near tho young plnnts. gives tho crop n start and renders tho fertilizer all accessible to this material for building nerves. WINE and contains ingredients 'for the tones the system and cures. crop to tho detriment of futuro crops and tho Improvement of tho soli. Third, the character of tho soil must exert Influenco on tho method of applica tion. Tho chief effect thus exerted Is that already described under tho action of tho three food essentials, nnd Is the Im mediate result of tho nbsorptlvo power of soils, whereby potash becomes absorbed and husbanded In tho soil till utilized by tho crop, though nitrogen Is lost by leach ing, sandy soils liclng the most subject to both these properties. The stnto of fer tility of tho soil also Influence tho manner of application. With fertile lands the ad visability ot brond-cuHt application being diminished. Fourth, the crop to bo supplied with nu trltncnt must be considered In Its relntlons to the details of fertilizer application. Wo nre considering how, nnd what to apply or the question would bo far moru Intricate. Crops, like potatoes, on which tho sulphate of potash Is supposed to bo preferable to the muriate may receive ap plications of the latter with equal advant age If the application Is mode very enrly In the season. Other materials should not be applied until actually required by tho crop. II. K. S. A DOG'S BONES IN 11 IS LUG. The mnny friends ot Dr. A. M.
