School Meetlnp.

Next Tuesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock,
the voters of the Bennington Graded
School district will meet in the School
Hall to vote school tax and to elect
School Trustees in the 9Th and 7th wards.
Our school is the most important insti-
tuition in the village and it should receive
the attention of every intelligent parent
to the end that stanch- minded, unpreju-
diced men may be elected to care for its
interests.
A desperate effort is being made on the
part of some to overthrow the present
management. This is being done very
largely by men who never visit the
schools, who know nothing about its
work or It's influence for good, men who
are willing to sport with the interests of
the children and our money to crafty
personal spite. All this is wrong. Let
us elect honorable and unprejudiced
men as trustees and leave to them the
management of the school according to
their best Judgment.
Scores of fathers and mothers whose
children are making wonderful progress
are satisfied with the present manage
ment. If they would continue it, the
voters in such families must turn out
and elect good trustees.
Every citizen of Bennington should be
proud of our school, its high standard
and its reputation throughout the State.
The harmony and good feeling
existing between teachers, pu-
pills, and Superintendent; the
absence of all corporal punishment,
the interest and pleasure the children
find in their work are features of school
success which money cannot always buy,
and which no citizen, who has the good
of his children at heart, will willingly
jeopardize, The success of the school is
shown by the fact that the attendance
has increased nearly 25 per cent. in two
years, while, during the past four years,
the membership and attendance of the
high school has increased nearly 300 per
cent.
Its standard of scholarship, courses of
study and requirements for admission,
equal those of the best schools in the
country. 1t now has students preparing
for half dozen American colleges, and
its graduates are received into these IN
situations without examinations. The
present high school now has students in
the New York College, at Albany, in
Brown University, and in Harvard Col
lege, and all of them were admitted with
out examination. No man who has any
regard for truth can deny these facts
Let every good citizen attend the school
meeting and use his influence to elect
trustees who may be trusted to dis
charge their high duties in an uupreju-
diced way.

SMALLER FARMS.
WE HAVE BEEN LIVING UNDER TOO
ARTIFICIAL CONDITIONS. LAND
POOR.

A recent Breeders Gazette editorial
equals any New England Journal in its
ARGUMENT for smaller farms and better
culture. The following extract is
sample:
Horace Greeley's advice, "Go West,
Young man, and grow up with the coun-
try.- has been followed by thousands In
wears gone by TO their own great profit
hut now that there is no longer any
West for them to go to and grow uI
with. what are the young men OF the
present and future generations to do!
The fact is that We have been living
under a highly artificial condition Of
things for 80 years past, and this is es'
necially true Of the farming community
in the west generally. The farmers al
over the great western states are "lanc
moor. With the great abundance ant
low prices Of rich farming lands tn.
early settlers have grabbed up broat
acres until the very ownership, with It!
consequent high taxes and slip-shot
methods, has made them poor, and th'
mortgages with which large areas o.
their lands are plastered keep the own
ers poor. They find that, to use an ex
pressive piece of slang, ''they have bi
off more than they can chew"
In conversation which the write
hereof had not long since with sue
cessful practical farmer who had givel
much thought to this subject, the latte
| remarked: 1--WE are all trying TO d'
more than we can do well, and as mat

RAISING CALVES.
,KIN-NILN l. BETTER THAN WHOLE
MILK FOR FEEDING.

The following advice concerning the
raising OF heifer calves for the dairy,
taken from the Farm Stock and Home Is
To the point, and IL needed as IL should
be would make success almost sure.
Regular feeding with milk of the right
temperature are the two most important
points :-"ffeifers are about the best
property a farmer can have, and no one
should allow one 10 be slaughtered. The
cost Of raising them is exceedingly small
compared with their value AS money
makers.
.Dairy calves can be raised on skim
milk: In fact, il Is better than whole
milk. as the latter is apt 10 give them
scours, or IL il does not affect them In
this way IL will give them tendency 10
Law on flesh. Our best workers in the
dairy are the ones that remain skin
poor" under high feeding. To raise a
calf economically, IL should have the
dams milk from five TO ten days. Give
il fresh, so the milk will be near the
normal temperature, 9So
There is more danger in overlooking
than in feeding too little. There Is
greater danger in feeding from a dirty
pail tnan IN CnanSiuS iioui ""oS w
skim milk. Ii is difficult, in fact, im-
possible, 10 tell exactly how much milk
a calf should have. IL is only by close
observation that the capacity In each
can be learned. Feed only twice day.
Feeding three or four times day may
be very nice in theory, but in practice II
will not compensate for the extra
trouble.
1.-The second week give half-whole aud
half-skim milk. The mixture should
feel warm to the finger. The third week
give 10 10 Il pounds skim milk per day
each mess of milk should have added TO
il heaping teaspoonful OF ground flax.
Gradually increase until heaping table
spoonful of ground flax is given. Also
increase the quantity of skim milk to 80
or 40 pounds day, according to the
capacity Of the calf. Give little cut
hay when six weeks old. Good calves
can, however, be raised without rough
age. IL is much easier TO raise calves
that come in the fall than those that
come in the spring, as it is easier to pro-
tect them from cold than flies"
