FOR YOUR MOULTING HENS

The time when hens shed their feath-
ers is again at hand. 1t is very exhaust
ing process. Are you preparing to help
them is this trying period? Eggs have
not been so high for years at this season
as now; they will be still higher. Hens
rarely ever lay while moulting, then help
them to get their new plumage quickly.
Many people get only five or six dozen
eggs in year from hen and lose money
when they ought to get three times that
many and make money rapidly. How ?
There are about 600 eggs in the ovaries
of hen; get all you can of them in two
years and keep the hen no longer. You
thus save two or three years feed of the
hen which is no small item if you buy all
the food. When hen is in ''condition," "
says high poultry authority, "she will
lay plenty OF eggs. Therefore help her
through the moulting season, that she
may be in condition to lay early, as ev-
erythng is pointing to higher prices for
eggs this fall and winter than ever be-
fore. The elements needed by hen in
mouting, in addition to good food is con-
tanned in Sheridan's Condition Powder
to very high degree. Thousands of
people have proven it to be worth its
weight in gold when hens are moulting.
III keeps them IN health, helps form
the new plumage, and gets them in con-
dition to lay early. a hen will not lay
while moulting. But if you give them
during the moultng Sheridan's Condition
Powder daily in extra doses, they will
get to laying much sooner and lay all
winter; larger, better, and more vigorous
eggs for Matching, than pulets. But
don't keep them third year: get all the
eggs in two. Remember Sheridan's Pow
der is not an egg-food; you can easily
raise or make food as cheaply as anyone.

WHAT 1T MEANS.

The returns from the elections on
Tuesday indicate that a considerable
number of high-license Republicans and
Democrats were elected to the lower
house. How many there are it is not
now possible to say, but that they will
make a majority or anything like it is
extremely improbable. The reasons for
this result are numerous, and some of
them perhaps not altogether clear. These
things are, however, undoubtedly true :
that every Democrat in the State is for
high license; that there are more or less
Republicans who conscientiously believe
that hlgh-license law would be prefer
able to the present law; that there are
other Republicans who are disgusted
with the third-party movement and want
to stir up the members of that party ;
that the temperance element of the Re-
publican party did not realize the extent
of the movement being made for high
license, and that Tuesdays vote was
light. Then, too, it is not unlikely that
a reaction has set in. For two years
past we have had a prohibitory law of
an extreme type, the enactment of which
may have marked the limit of prOhibtory
legislation, and it would not be strange
if the tide should set the other way now
for little. But those who think that
Vermont is to change its policy with
respect to the liquor traffic right away
are. it seems to us, mistaken. The pres
enu law may be somewhat modified, but
that there will be substitution of
license for prohibition this year or two
years hence is not at all presumable; :;
Vermonters as a whole are conservative,
and though some of them can be turned
about with comparative ease, it is long
job to get majority of them to face
around. Moreover, the temperance Re-
publicans will wake up now that they
see what is going on, and it would not
be surprising to find the next legislature
with fewer high-license men than the
present.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1890.
ACCORDING TO ITs FOLLY.

The Middlebury Register says that
''the successful method of putting salt
on the tail of the goose that lays the
golden egg is to hunt in packs" This
peculiar use of metaphor warrants the
belief that the neighbor has added a
snake editor to the horse man and other
journalistic stars Rutland Herald.
If the staff of the Herald were COM
posed of practical, sensible men, including
a horse man, instead of being, as it is, a
prize collection of journalistic freaks and
a marvellous aggregation of mental and
moral obliquities and monstrosities, it
would not try to impose upon the public
such mess of senseless and silly slush
and twaddle as its alleged reports of
the Breeders meeting last week.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

This country has one physician to
every 600 people, while in Germany the
proportion is one to 1900 and in France
one to 3lG7.
Senator Edmunds has Introduced a
resolution providing for recess of Con-
gress from Sept. 10 to Nov. 10. His idea
does not seem to meet with the approval
of his fellow legislators.
1t has been discovered, over in York
State, that there are two sides to the
tariff question and joint debates on the
subject have been arranged for at about
thirty agricultural fairs.
We print on an inside page Mr..
Blane's recent speech on the subject of

The 10th annual fair of the Addison
County Agricultural society, which
opened on Wednesday and will close to-
night, is an unqualified success to date
and with good weather today it will eX-
ceed in attendance and receipts any in the
history of the society. The officers have
done their very best to get out worthy
exhibits and to have something on the
ground worth seeing, and that their
efforts have not been in vain every visitor
to the grounds will cheerfully concede.
The grounds themselves are in first-class
shape, and the new grand, judges and
band stands, erected last year, fill a long
felt want. The barn erected by the COM
pany this summer on the site of the one
burned last winter is a great Improvement
