The first paper dellve. cd was "Pri
oress In the Forestry Movement" hy Dr.
L. R. .Tones of the Vnlvrrslty of Ver
mont. Ir. Jones spoke of the work of
last year nnd eald that nearly all of the
EO.OfO pines net out during the last year
had grown nnd that the demands upon
he State nursery -wore destined to oe
greater this year than last. The demand
will be much greater than the local sup
ply, but prospective planters will be put
In touch with nurserymen and so will
fret their pines, not from, but through
the agency of the State nursery. An ex
pert from Washington 1 expected to
come Tier to atudy local conditions. The
suggestion was made that th Stat of
Vermont ought, to control large forest
areas In the higher nltltuds of the
Green mountains. He said that nplan
had been advocated wherob" large forest
areas might come under ftate control
provided an act rould be passed by the
Fute Legislature, giving some State offl--r
the right to hold State forest lands
tnit. on condition that t State pro
ride for the appoint". nt of an epert
forester.

about twelve months from blooming to
maturing of fruit. It Is Intcrsting to note
that along the lake shore the season is
some ten days later than In the warm

GIANT Pl'FrilAT.I.P.

tondltlons under which certain of the
more common weeds thrive best. Ho
showed that the orange hawk weed was
especially a weed of the. northern sec
tions and higher attitudes, This Is natural
for the hawkweed was originally an
alpine plant He spoke also of the corn
spurry, which ii generally found In cool
moist highlands, and raised the flues
lion as to whether It hod ever been found
upon sandy soils. He also showed that
tho "western ' tumbleweed" had been
brought Jnto the western part of the

THE TRUE TEST.
Tried in Burlington, It Has Stood
tho TeBt.
The hardest teat Is tho test of time,
nnd Doan's Kidney Pills hav stood It
well In Burlington. Kidney sufferers
can hardly nsk for stronger proof
than the following:
E. J. Flnnernn, of 174 No, Battery
St., Burlington, Vt., says- "I told tho
people of Burlington through our
newspapers In 1S97 what Doan's Kidney
Pills had done for me, nnd since then
I have had no cause to alter my opin
ion. My work used to mean a good
deal of heavy lifting nnd stooping nnd
this after a time affected my kidneys.
There were pains over my hips on
both sides of the spine and also
troublo with the kidney secretions
which were highly colored. One day
when In the I'nrk drug store 1 got n
box of Doan's Kidney Pills nnd com
menced using them. After a dose or
two I knew they were helping me nnd
when I hnd used two boxes my back
wan well and strong and the trouble
with the kidney secretions was cor
rected. That was eight years ago and
during the time that has elapsed since
then my kidneys have never onco
troubled me. T think this Is good evi
dence that Doan's Kidney Pills cure
permanently."

AFTERNOON SESSION.
The afternoon session began nt two
o'clofk "id was taken up with the read
ing of papers by members of both orga
nization". The papers by members of
tin Botinlenl club were as follows;
BOTANICAL LIBRARY.
Miss May Bylngton of Burlington
read a eir Inteiestlng paper In which
she set forth the project, suggested three
jears ago ' v Dr. Barstow of starting a
botanlcnl f'u'i library. Many members

Bralnerd and Dr. Jones.
NEW ENGLAND FEDERATION.
i.ss Delia I. Grimn of STt. Johnsbury
thou repoitcd upon the meeting of the
federation of New England natural his
tory societies which was held In Port
land, Me., the 4th and Mil of October.
This meeting which was largely attended
ws of especial Interest. Ilany of the
exhibitions of natural history subjects
were of special interest to those Inter

M ns. Lectin es were given by Professor
Leo of Bmvdnln College nnd John W.
Ritchie, Jr., of Boston, file members of

were given an opportunity to vls t the
museums and lulldings of Bowdnin Cnl

Billings of Woodstock was not Had leu
will appear In the next number f t no
Bulletin.
BREAD MOULD REPRODUCTION.
Leon R. Whitcomh of fie Burlington
high school contributed a paper upon
"Reproduction in Bread .Mould.'' After
explaining the grass structure of the
plant, and setting forth Its general hab
its, he said that the spores germinated
very quickly, often within 21 hours after
formation. There, are two methods of
reproduction, the ordinary or a boxual
method Is by the formation of a sporan
gium upon the ends of the fibers. These
tporangla contain many sporef, su tho
plant is reproduced vety rapidly. An
other or sexual method of reproduction
has been known for some time, but not
thoroughly understood. In 1!H4 Prof. A.
L. JUnkeHlle, now nt the Btorrs Agricul
tural College In Cincinnati, conducted ex
periments in tho laboratories of Harvard
College which seemed to pr ve that there
"0 two strains of each species of bread
mould; that when two strains of the
same species come In contact they repro
duce bv the sexual method, forming a
zygospore. These two strains are spoken
of as plus and minus strains and If two
plus strains or two minus strains are
brought together no zygospores can be
firmed but reproduction must be by the
sexual method.

In an Interesting paper on "Soil Aridity
in Relation to Flora," H. A. Kristin of
the t'nlveislty of Vermont sot forth
very clearly a simple method of testing
soil for acid or alkaline properties. He

the best results are to be attained, for
bacteil.i are Important agents in soil
productivity, and tho most of the useful
bacteria can not work satisfactorily un

this question resolved Itself Into a ques

One of the most fiequer.t and annoying
conditions that beset humanity Is Cat
arrh of the Bile Ducts. There are sev
eral little duds leading from the Lher
and Gall Bladder that unite Into one
ma.n or "Common Bile Duct" whl;'i
carries the bile and other ltuld Into th"
Intestines. When there is a Catarrhal
condition of these ducts the whole sys
tem Is affected and all k.nds of menu
feelings are experienced. Ordinary liver
pills and powders fall lo relieve this
condition. An eminent physlclan-a pro
fessor In a Columbus, Ohio, Medic il
College, wrote tho prescription from
which Rydale's Liver Tablets are mule,
nnd they never fall to re'ieve this very
common condition. For Biliousness and
Torpid Liver they are without an equal.
Ope dose convinces, and that dose is
free. Write for sample. Rydale Remedy
