County Politics.

With the county convention less than
three months away itmay be confidently
expected that local politics vii! soon he
warming up. Some weeks ago the GALE.
DOMAIN gave list of candidates whose
names had already been mentioned and
since that time Others have come into
the field. The Groton Times presents a
new candidate in their last issue and
makes the following claim in his behalf
"Ryegate has a candidate for county
senator IN the person OF Q. A. Whitehili,
capable, enterprising and honorable
citizen, who is well posted on the affairs
of the day and would make a faithful
official. Ryegate has a Just claim ia

The Mortified News publishes today

Plumley:

Ny dear Whitney:
| am assured by as good judges OF
| political conditions as the state affords
that were | to become candidate for
congressional honors in the second dis
trict at this time, my chances of success
would be at least equal to the Others:
am sanguine enough to believe they
would be superior, but neither success
nor defeat has part in tffectiDg my
settled purpose.
Reasons which are purely and wholly
personal compel me to state that | shall
not enter the canvass this year.
My cherished ambition for political
preferment in the present is crushed and
dead and it is simply impossible for me
to take any active part in a political
campaign OF this character. Being thus
circumstanced cannot ask my friends to
give me their support, and | reluctantly
renounce long time aspiration and de-
cline to enter the field as a candidate.
To the many friends in the different
sections OF the district who have volun-
teered their support and to that large
number Of voters whom | have reason to
believe would be pleased to see me their
representative in congress, | am pro-
foundlv grateful and appreciative,
To the state press, which universally
has treated my name in this relation
with consideration beyond my deserts,
return my heartfelt thanks through the
medium oil the News.

Mr.. Clements Strange Bed-feIlOw
but Bed-felIow all the Same.

Early in this interesting campaign the
CALIFORNIAN in its editorial columns
undertook to show how the Union Sig
nal, the official organ Of Labor Unions
printed at Rutland, had incubated an
issue, and limited that on this issue it
looked as though later on it intended to
support Mr.. Clement. The incubated
issue above mentioned was a desperate.
" bitter attack on Mr.. Proctor S
attitude towards the laboring man. For
this stand the CALIFORNIAN got its ears
boxed most souudly by some OF the half
and half brethren OF the press. Was the
CALIFORNIAN in error The Rutland
Herald, in a recent interview with Mr..
Halvosa, editor of this same Union
Signal, on the attitude Of the Labor
party towards the political situation in
general and the state. ticket in par
ticular, has this remarkable statement
to make.
philip J. Halvosa, organizer for the
Vermont State Branch American Fedora.

Signal, informs the Herald that the indie
pendent labor party will have a candi.

laborltes depend to lead them to victory.
Asked concerning the probability OF the
labor element nominating a state ticket,
ne said that would be for the party itself

no likelihood of either a state or county
ticket being named this year as the

Almost anyone can see through a
barrel with both heads kicked out. So
the labor party men are to register as
republicans because there is such a warm
tight. The above clipping is from Mr..
Clements own paper and is the
exact language OF Mr.. Halvosa, editor OF

rlr. Clement also Bids for Democratic
Support.

The Rutland Herald in its editorial
column says:
"a Herald subscriber writes US that a
large maiorlty OF the democrats in his
town are registering as republicans.
Among these democrats is a democratic
town committeeman, who, OF course,
has no intention of leaving his own
party. After taking part in the republi.
can caucus what is there to prevent him
from performing his usual duties as
democratic town committeeman? This
is a matter for the lawyers to figure
out"
Yes and Mr.. Clement can figure it out,
too. He figured it out in 1902 when
by dint OF strenuous effort he secured 90
votes in democratic convention.

Clements Craft at Anchor.

A lull seems to have struck the Clement

The Clement craft that was steering
about the state regardless OF wind Oh

What has happened:
Has the iib boom parted or are there
rents in the main sail?
Skipper Hindley sits in the cabin and
the crew is enjoying land leave.
Something surely has happened.
Possibly the craft has rur into port
to restock with ideas and that fresh
start will soon be made. But from all
outward appearances there is a tie.up to
last for some days.
Sailing orders may be wanted.

have discussed the commodores new

to be said
Everything has been said from
nautical point of view and the majority
of the shippers have from indications
come to the conclusion that both the
commodore and his skipper are endeavor-
ing to inaugurate new sailing rules
that will keep the craft afoat.
What can have happened?
Has Commodore Clement and
Skipper HindIey hauled into port to

COMMON GUINEA FOWL,

hkely TO Become = Source Of PrOnt
to POultrymen.
Guinea fowls, sometimes called
guinea keets, are probably natives of
the west coast Of Africa, although
some authorities urge that they are
descended from a variety common in
Abyssinia. They were raised as fable
birds by the ancient Greeks and Ro-
mans, but disappeared from Europe
during the dark ages and were reintro-
duced later. 1t Is said, from Jamaica
and Cuba.
They are well known as game birds
In England, where large focks are
sometimes kept In game preserves. On
the continent they are more common
and more completely domesticated and
are priced as table birds. In Australia
especially there are large establish
ments devoted to their breeding, and
guinea fowls are also raised for mar
Let in considerable numbers In France
nnd Germany.
In the United States very few breed
ers, II any, raise them in large num-
bers. They are much more common in

though many persons in this country
rate them below chicken and others
have never tasted them. epicures con-
slider them most excellent. ranking
them with game birds. The demand
for them In our city markets is con-
stantly increasing, and 1t seems prob
able that they will soon be recognized
as source Of profit to the poultry
man, fit to be bred, fed and marketed
as carefully as chickens. turkeys,
ducks and geese and not merely as Gu
riOsities.
Experienced breeders consider. that
in beginning to rnise guinea fowls 1t IL
better. IL possible, to buy eggs for a
common hen to hatch than to get adult
birds. Their instinct for homing IL as
strong as that for ranging, and they
take very unwillingly to change Of
dwelling. If adult birds are obtained
they should be kept in close confine-
ment for some days. = United States

COST ef BEEF
PRODUCTION

An extensive experiment In beef pro-
duction was recently started at the
Michigan Agricultural college. X. s.
Show Of the college stan outlines tie
plan In Michigan Farmer. He says:
During the first half Of October twen-
ty high grade Shorthorn cows about to
calve We're purchased by the institu-
| ton. In general these are large franz
ed animals, well graded up with Short
horn blood and as uniform as the re-
stricting conditions Of the experiment
would permit In making the purchases.
These cows have been divided into
two lots Of ten each. The calves Of one
lot are being permitted to suckle their
dams, but not run with them. As these
calves develop they will receive sup
Elementary food In addition to that Sc
cured from their mothers and will final
" be finished for market at about
l,O5O pounds weight During this time
records will be made Of the amounts Of
food consumed by each COW and her
calf, so that the actual cost of the latter
can be determined at any stage Of de.
VclOpuuGuI.
The cows Of the other lot are being
MIXED and records made Of the amount
OF milk and fat produced by each in
dividual. After the fat Is separated
from this milk the skim milk is brought
back and fed to the calves. In addition,
the calves will receive liberal supplies
of food. Records will also be made Of
the food consumed by each COW, the
revenue from her butter fat and the
cost Of developing her calf to the mar
ketable weight heretofore mentioned.
1t is also planned to purchase ten
more cows Of the same class to calve
about the opening of the pasturing sea-
son In the spring and allow the calves
to run with their dams on grass alone
until dried Off and then take the calves
up and finish them to the same weights
as the other two lots, determining the
cost also.
Because of the fact that this expert
ment would seem to touch upon very
important practical question 1t has
been planned to repeat the work two
Or three years in succession.
