Another Argument Exploded.

The formal announcement oil oiln
Merrill that the condition Of his health
is such AS to forbid his even becoming
a candidate for the GovernorShip let's
the clear light of truth shine on another
one of the weak arguments heretofore
adopted 10y those who have been willing
to grasp at anything so long as 1t could
be used in opposition to the candidacy
of DIR. Mead. IL has been said that he
was not quite young enough, aud those
who so said we're anxious 10 turn to
Merrill as a star of hope for the tulhli-
ment of the claim that the Office required
strong and vigorous executive. Mer-
rill 10, k in excellent health, transacts
business, travels about, and has lately
been on trip to Washington and New
York--in fact as we remember 1t his
statement to the above effect was issued
from the latter place. Now John A.
Mead of Rutland Is doubtless one oi
the hardest working business men III
the state and we dare to say puts as
many hours of constant effort into ms
business affairs and the business affairs
OF the great concern of which he is at
the head, as does almost any man de
vote to work. Ills capacity, energy anc
industry is a matter of common knowI
edge. Nevertheless, if Mr.. Merrill haC
not made his announcement, the exten
of his malady would have existed thu
same but would not have been general,
known, and he would have been heI'
up by those anxious to defeat Mead Il
the more desirable candidate, simply be
cause he is a trife younger. The pres
ent and continuously increasing indlca
tions are that Mead will be nominated
aud if he is, strength of character, Wild
experience and strong business sens
will be brought to the Executive Cham

rHE FOOD FOR POULTRY IN
WINTER.

Much time and money have been
spent In what seems the almost vain
endeavor to make hens produce eggs
In cold weather. 1t requires but little
experience with poultry to learn the
fact that, under ordinary ctrcum-
stances, hens cannot produce as many
eggs in winter as in summer. Summer
Is the natural time for the laying OF
eggs, and III order to increase winter
production there must be reproduced
for the fowls as nearly as possible the
conditions that exist in summer Mrs
John ]. Layzel of Brandon, VI, has
evidently succeeded in doing this with
her flock She says: Il have been
using Pages Perfected Poultry Food
for the last three winters, and find it
the best poultry food on the market.

Pinchot at Large.

Eormer Chief Forester Clifford Pin
chot will doubtless be reminded more
than once that the firing line in the
conservation fight" is not to be found
up his new role of chief Of the con.
servation movement said that the i'm
mediate task of the conservation hosts
will be the getting of good conserva-
ton laws through congress. 1t is to be
recalled that Mr.. Pinchot In the past
has often lamented the backwardness
of the states in the matter Of forest
preservation.
Three-fourths Of the forest area OF
the country and four-ffths Of the tim
Der land are privately owned, there
fore under state and not national con-
troll. Furthermore, scientific forestry
ia now practiced on but l per cent Of
the privately owned forest as against
10 per cent of the forest publicly own
ed. 1t is upon private forest where
millions and millions of dollars worth
of timber are annually burned for lack
of protection and where watersheds
and windbreaks are robbed by reckless
timber cutting, with little If any atten-
ton to replanting Forestry as a pub
lie duty is now being recognized by
state Legislators, but In some states ex-
listing laws stand in the way Of sue
cess. 1t would seem, then, that the
true firing line Of the forest conserva-
ton fight is in the capitals Of the sew
eral states where forestry is neglected.

Vermont Sanitorium.

At the annual meeting of the Yer
mont Sauatorium held at Pittsford JAN
uary 27, 1910, a report was submitted
to the Board of Trustees showing the
work of the Sanatorium for the two
years ending December 81, 1909. Dur
lug this time 19l patients were admit
ted, classified as follows: 81 were in
cipient, or first stage; IS were moder-
ately advanced, or second stage, and 20
were far advanced or third stage cases
One case of general military tuberculo
sis developed meningitis and died at the
Sanatorium. This was the only death
that occurred. Two cases were dag
nosed as non-tuberculous. During this
same time l55 patients were discharged;
80 or 2o.65% were apparently cured,
70 or 47.l9o arrested, 80 or 1919 i'm

A POULTRY FOOD OF GENUINE
MERIT,

The manufacturer of any stock food
must be attentive to all the details of
its prepare ton, beng certain that only
first class materials enter into its compo
siton. 1t is claimed for Pages Per
fected Poultry Food" that there
doesn't enter into its composition a sin.
gle particle Of the ordinary meat meal
which is the basis of so many poultry
foods. The nearest approach to it is
what is known as tallow scraps OF
cracklings, and every grandmother who
has lived on the farm and taken care
of chickens knows there Is nothing bet
ter to make hens lay than tallow scraps,
and Pages Perfected Poultry Food"
contains a considerable percentage of
this ingredient.

Raw Meat as a Food for Hens.

Those who are familiar with Poultry
know with what eagerness they eat raw
meat of any kind The habit indicates
that raw meat is something their nature
demands. There is perhaps no material
better adapted to the needs of fowls-es-
pecially in winter than Green Cut
Bone aud Meat ground together. 1t is
not only invigorating but it contains in
form easily assimilated the very ele-
ments required for the making of eggs.
1t will make hens lay when everything
else fails.
C. S. Page of Hyde Park, VT, will
send 200 10. barrel ot Green Cut Bone
and Meat for $3.50, freight prepaid, to
any point in New England or Middle
