Hens Paw If They Lay.

What is more aggravating than the
refusal of the biddy to lay when eggs
are high!
The poultryman oftentimes sputters
and scolds and proposes to live on poul-
try until every hen is eaten, forgetting
that the biddy always does her duty
when she is supplied with the necessary
ingredients for producing eggs. She
likes to lay and then talk about it after
she has done the job, but she does not
like to work when she is cold, chilly
and poorly supplied with warm, stimu-
lating food. If she could speak good
English, she would tell you that she
would like few rations each week of

OBJECTIONS TO AUTO LAW.
Brattleboro Man Thinks Certain Pro-
visions Too Strict.

Brattleboro owners of automobiles
are not entirely satisfied with the new
automobile law, enacted at the session
of the legislature which has Just
closed although they admit that the
bill which finally passed is great
Improvement over some of the auto
mobile bills which were introduced.
Charles A. Harris. treasurer of the
Brattleboro savings bank, is president
of the Vermont Automobile club. MI
Harris said that the most serious OBJ
lection to the law as it now stands
was the provision limiting the speed
TO ten miles an hour within city, in
corporated village or thiekly settled
part of town. 81 have always con
tended. - said Mr.. Harris, 80 and do now
that there should be no speed restric-
ton other than that automobile drlv'
ers should be required to run their
ears in a careful manner at all times.
A car may he run earelessly at tye
miles an hour and it may be run safely
at twenty miles an hour. AS people
have become accustomed to automo'
biles their ideas of speed and careless
running have changed considerably.
Ten miles an hour is only about twice
as fast as a man can walk, and team
driven at that rate, although not under
nearly as good control as an automo-
bile would be- is not considered to be
going at dangerous speed. An aa'
tomobile driver coming into this vii
lage from any direction does not
know when he reaches the village lin
it and he is certain to violate the law
without knowing it, for which he is
liable to both fine and imprisonment.
1t is too bad for the legislature to
take the attitude which it does toward
something which is bound to result in
much good to the state. -
