Norway spruce at So 50; and one year old
black locust at 50 90. All of the three
year old pines which were left after last

Library Items.

The usefulness of the travelling libra
ries, as sent out by the Vermont State
board of library commissioners, is shown
by the following data in regard to the
library used in the school at Brookfield'
The number of pupils having access to
the library is rs, and the number OF
loans of books made from December 6
10 March Q, 1910, was ITO or an average
of about SO per month. This average OF
each pupil taking out more than one
book per month shows how much use
is derived from a small library in 4
rural school, also the teacher feels that
it is not only a benefit to the children
but it greatly increases the efficiency OF
her school work by giving her material
with which to work that she would not
otherwise have.

Doe Sought Protection.

While at his work on farm near
Rutland NJ. b. Fish saw coming to-
wards him a small doe and at the same
time he could hear the bark of the dogs.
The deer did not show any fear but seemed
exhausted. Mr. Fish sent his hired man
to the house after a gun, but before he
returned, the dogs were frightened away.
The little doe, however, stayed around;
evidently realizing that she would be
protected. Finally she went away a
short distance and lay down, in about two
hours going along her way.

Postal SAVINGS Bank.

| Both the Republican and Democratic
platforms were committed to the es-
| tablishment of postal savings banks
and the Republicans have succeeded IN
putting through a bill by which such
an institution can be established.
The Republican platform was rather
broad in it's provisions, merely declar-
ing for the establishment of postal
savings bank system, for the conVen-
ience of the people and for the promo
| ton of thrift" The Democratic plat
form declared for the establishment OF
postal savings banks only in the event
that it should prove impossible to Sc
cure a guaranteed bank, and in that
event even, with restrictions that
would ensure the keeping of local de-
posits at home.
There have been three different
propositions under the consideration
of congress. One passed by the sem
ate; one proposed by the Republican
caucus and one proposed by the DEM
ocratic caucus. The main point OF dill
ference involved the question as to
what should be done with deposits
The senate bill provided that the de-
posits be loaned to local banks, SUB
iect to removal by the president lor
loan to the government in case OF war
or other public emergency. The Re
publican caucus bill provided per
cent reserve fund to go to the govern
ment, 30 per cent TO be invested III
government bonds, and the balance "
be loaned to the local banks on tax
supported bonds; but removable by the
president practically at his pleasure.
The main provision of the Democra-
tic bill was prepared by Congress-
man Finley. 1t set aside 8 per cent as
a reserve fund, and left the remaining
95 per cent to be deposited in the To-
cal banks on indemnity security, ana
removable only by direction of con-
gress.
The most serious objection to the
Republican proposition is the faclllty
with which the aggregate deposits oil the
postal savings banks can be concentrat-
ed in the money centers of the country
to the great hurt of local business. Also
the making of tax supported bonds as
the only basis of security for depos-
it's puts a hardship on country banks
because as a rule they do not own
bonds, and of course, there would DE
little gain in paying out casn loi
bonds to be used as security for more
cash to be loaned to their customers
This difficulty, however, is not insuper-
able.
We do not like the looks of the pos
tai savings bank scheme as it Will be
come a law; but after all 1t may turl,
out better than it looks like. Any klno
of a postal savings bank scheme In
this county, is more or less of an eN,
pertinent and will have to be perfected
in practice.

SCARCITY OF CATTLE.

Tie reason the beef cattle have
grown so scarce in this country, is
that people sell the calves before they
quit sucking"
This very practical answer to a
question recently asked in The Enqui-
rer was given by Mr.. AlonZo Rose. a
we'll known butcher of Yorkville n few
days ago, and pursuing the subject
further, Mr.. Rose said:
Yes, that's all there is to it. People
will sell a calf three weeks old for a
dollar or a dollar and half l have
bought them for IS cents-rather than
keep them a year and sell them for
twelve or fifteen dollars. This kind of
thing has been going on for years and
growing worse of late, and no wonder
cattle are scarce. 1t could not be any
thing else in the face of such a waste.
Asked to suggest a remedy, Mr.. Rose
said:
About the only thing l can think
of, is an act of the Legislature to pro-
hibit the slaughter of calves under, say
six months old. You see it is about
like this. Something like IS per cent
of the cattle increase in this county Is
from milk cows, and these cows are
kept entirely for their milk and but
ter. The owners Of the cows are as a
rule not prepared to take care of the
calves and usually sell them for what
might be offered. There are a few peo-
pie, who understand what profitable
thing it is to buy up these cal es and
raise them; but most of the calves go
to the butchers, who sell them as veal.
If we could put stop to the slaughter
of the calves, more people would drift
into the idea Of providing pasturage,
and in the course Of few years, beef
would once more be plentiful. But as
things are going now, the difficulty of
getting good beef is steadily increas-
ing"
AS illustrating the profit in cattle
raising, Mr.. Rose said that he has
bought scrub calves at less than 81 and
sold them for $12 in less than year.
without being out anything for rails
ing expenses that he was able to keep
an account Of.
