FARMERS LECTURE.


cier" by G. NJ. Twitchen.
There were about 40 in attendance upon
the lecture at the experiment station Tues
day afternoon when G. NJ. Twitchell of the
Maine Farmer gave an exceedingly inter
esting lecture on Poultry for the farmer
and the fancier." In introducing the
speaker President Buckham said that the
subject was one that was not only of great
interest to the farmer but to almost ev cry
family. In opening his address the speaker
said that while admitting all the claims of
breed and blood the question of poultry
raising was one of dollars and cents. Sue
cess i'll the business was not an accident
but the result of the care and work put
into it. The hen was the machine. so to
speak, and the poultry raiser furnished the
motive power The value of food was not
what it costs but what it produces. In re-
ply to questions as to what 1t costs to keep
hens, one man in the audience replied
that he kept flock Of 20 at a cost of 90
cents each for the year 1t would be i'm
possible to give perfect egg ration, but
the speaker found that he derived the
best results from feeding clover and mix
ture of 20 per cent oats, wheat
and bran, 10 per cent of corn
and liuseed, and five per cent of meat
scraps. lie used corn sparingly, except in
very cold weather, on account of its heat
producing qualities, and in regard TO feed
ing was careful that his hens had only
enough food. He did not any more believe
in keeping food continually before hens,
than he did in allowing children to cat at
all hours 1t was possible TO produce 200
eggs from hen, and where many farmers
in the State of Maine had averaged but 20
cents per dozen, some had averaged as
high as 80 and 4J cents; there
was no money in the business for
some men, because the business was not
in the men.
In taking up the subject of poultry rails
ing for market the speaker said that the West
was sending vast quantities Of poultry into
the Eastern market and that the only hope
for New England was in the production of
better article. The chicks should be fed a t
first for the upbuilding of large and Wig
orous structure, the fattening process being
left for the last II or IA days before ship
ment. The necessity and the profit derived
from neatness in dressing and packing was
well illustrated from incidents in the speak
er's own experience.
At the close Of the lecture Mr.. Twitchell
said that he was ready for questions and
several in regard to the feed, ETC., were
asked by members of the audience. Prof.
Cooke announced that the full report of the
lecture was to be printed in the report of
the Board OF Agriculture and that they
would be mailed to all addresses sent him

FREIGHT RATES.
The Transportation Question the Real
Cause of Nermonps Trouble.

Cause of Nermonts Trouble.
To the Editor of the Free Press:
Mr.. y. L. Mannali manager of the Essex
county colony recently made a purchase of
lands in the town Of Norton, as has already
been noticed by you. His purpose is to
found colony of Scandinavians in that
town. Mr. Mannali discusses this question
in recent issue of the Springfield
Republican and he gives his rea-
sons for not buying what he
terms the abandoned farms He claims
the lands in Norton possess the fertility of
virgin soil, and that the numbering of that
section will afford work at paying rates to
the 'poor settlers, - for he says, IL suppose
you don't expect any very rich ones. -
But | wish to give what seems to be one OF
his main points in his own words He
says:
Doubtless there may be some farms
among these abandoned ones where a
very hard workingman might make a
living. don't doubt this, but |
wish to call your attention to that
here in our State, Massachusetts, We have
a great quantity of farms also abandoned,
not far from railroads, with excellent build
ings on offered for little or nothing, but
nobody wants them. Now what is the
reason. ne reason Is thdU HobOuy now can
make a living on them since the Western
direct rapid railroad connections does carry
to our great Eastern cities and markets the
same products that these farmers did de-
pend on, but at prices way under their pow
er Of competition
Precisely, while disagreeing with Mr..
MAMMAL about the general non-fertility of
what unfortunately have become known as
ON al wal ntlar
stood that freight rates" alone have had
very much to do with Vermont's decline.
Is there anything to be done in the premises
