CENTRAL NOT IN POLITICS.
Serves Notice That It Will Remain
Neutral During impending Canvass.

The part the railroads of Vermont
were likely to play in the canvass for
the Republican nomination for govern
or has been a subject of speculation in
the popular mind for some time, for
the natural reason that both General
Mccullough and Doctor Webb are
prominent in the railroad world.
The policy of the Central Vermont
railway was determined upon some
time AGO, however, and instructions
have tor some time been issued to all
interested in its management as to
their official conduct during the can
yass. The text of the following letter
explains itself:
Montreal. Que, Jan. 10, 1902.
Nv Dear DIR. Webb referring to
our conference yesterday on the sub
iect of the next gubernatorial elect
ion in Vermont. As | said to
YOU at that time, both candi-
dates happen to be not only personal
friends of mine for whom ! have a
very high regard, but both are direct
ors of the c. V. Il. r. company.
Unde, the circumstances, | think the
Central Vermont as a company should
give you each an open field and take
no part in influencing their officers and
employees one way or the other, but
require them to give their attention to
the duties of their positions in connec-
ton with the Central Vermont railroad,
allowing them when it comes to the
question of voting TO exexcise, free
and uninnuenced, their individual
opinions as to who shall have their
vote for governor. have instructed
the local management to this effect,
and trust this decision in the matter
will prove satisfactory to both your
self and General Mccullough, as | feel
sure that all either of you want is an
even chance.
Very truly yours,

FEEDING DAIRY COWS.
Some Suggestions from the Expert
ment Station.

No Vermont dairyman needs to be
told that this winters conditions as
regards purchased feeds are peculiar
and disheartening. The experiment
station has been several times impor-
tuned to throw some light on the best
dairy feeding practice under these con-
ditions. tits obvious that no rule can
be given which will be good under all
circumstances. The farmer who has
his mows filled with early hay, contain
inc considerable clover and a plentiful
supply of well-eared silage can get
along with less concentrates than the
one whose hay is largely timothy or is
late cut. The man who has but little
clover, and who has not yet learned
the value of silage, is certainly in
bad fix.
Then, again, the advice which should
be given the man with thoroughly good
dairy animals would differ from that
adapted 10 him whose stock is of aver
age or low grade.
Ii may be said in general, however,
that purchases this year, of all years,
should be confined almost exclusively
to bran, cottonseed, lnseed and gluten
meals or feeds. Experiment stations
and institute speakers have Tor years
been expounding the doctrine that the
purchase OF corn and oats by New
Englanders is an unwise practice. The
conditions of this winter are driving
home these facts with sledge hammer
blows. OF course if grain feed is pur-
chased at all it should be the same tor
him who has good and him who has
poor animals, for him whose hay is of
the best and whose silo is full, and for
him whose meadows yielded but poorly
and whose corn is stocked. The
amounts that need be fed, however,
will probably vary from a compara-
lively small grain ration for the man
whose roughages are plentiful and
good to a medium or large one for the
who has been less forehanded. The
Vermont experiment station advises
as a good grain mixture for this year,
four parts bran, one part of cottonseed,
or gluten meal, and one part of linseed
meal, amounts to be fed varying from
four to eight pounds, according to cir
cumStances'
