and his methods are not Vermont

tablish the necessity of such law,
and more in similar strain. There
was nothing in this beastly re-
mark, or in anything else that Mr..
Clement said on the same occasion,
that should inspire the people of Yer
mont to sing hallelujahs over the cir
cumstance of Mr.. Clements Vermont
nativity. "'Twas something, in the
dearth of fame to those who listen
ed or have read" To feel at least a
patriot shame, " at the brazen effront-
cry of the Vermonter who spoke these
words and others of similar import.
With the writer of the Greek ode
they were doubtless murmuring,
For what is left the poet here
For Greeks n blush, for Greece
tear"
1t is not to the credit of Vermonters
that the Clement delegates applauded
the demagogue to the echo. The viler
his charges, the more abusive his
speech, the more fervent the approx
ing uproar The poets couplet-in
some limited extent, thank God for
that's applicable to the scenes in
the late Clement convention at Bur

Feeding Value Of Beet Pulp.

Bulletin number 73, Issued by
the State Agricultural college in
August, is devoted exclusively to
the feeding value of beet pulp and
sugar beets. and gives detailed
report of the numerous expert
ments along that line which have
been conducted by the various
stations throughout Colorado and
other states where sugar beets are
grown. The report is very CON-
plete and should be obtained and
carefully studied by every person
who has stock to feed and are con-
veniently located for handling
beet pulp, The experim ents are
summarized IS follows:
Five COWS fed "a pounds OF beet
pulp for six weeks, in addition to
grain and hay, made an average
gain per week of 6.2 pounds. The
same COWS fed IL pounds of beets
per day for FIVE weeks made an
average gain per week OF one-tifth
pound.
Five cows on the pulp ration
gave an average weekly milk yield
of l3l.l pounds, and ON the beet
ration they gave an average
weekly milk yield of 1874 pounds
Five cows on the pulp ration
gave an average weekly butter
yield of GIG pounds, and ON the
beet ration an average weekly but
ter yield of $50 pounds. The
milk contained a little more but
ter fat when the COWS were fed su-
gar beets.
A little more than three times as
much profit resulted from feeding
"a pounds of pulp per day than
was realized from IL pounds Of
beets per day, at one dollar and
four dollars per ton respectively.
