best ones kept.

of milk and 319 pounds of butter tat,
equivalent to 372 pounds of butter.
It cost SLY to feed each cow. they
made a profit of $45. IS each. One nun.
dred of such cows would pay proflt OF
S4555. Eight such cows would pay
more profit than one hundred OF the
average kind. A saving OF S225O IN
vestment, not to mention saving .ne
feed, the barn room and the work OF ~
cows. In the first case $l2 are spent TO

spent to get $22. 68.
Which will you keep, eight good
ones or one hundred poor ones? Ii you
want the best ones you must raise them
by selection and test them regularly. |
You can get them in no other way.
Good Roads an Investment
The movement for system of trunk
line highways for Vermont is assum-
!, ing important proportions. The st.
Adams Messenger. the Rutland Herald,
the Bennington Banner and many of
the weekly papers of the state are
putting out strong arguments that the
next legislature cannot but heed.
, What wouldn't it mean for the well
to advertise trunk line roads running
e from Bennington to st. Adams on one
f side of the state and from Brattleboro
8 to Newport on the other, with cross
overs from Rutland to Bellows Falls
. and from Burlington to Montpelier?
S Vermont with its natural beauties
/ would Immediately attract the stream
" of summer tourists that is pouring
;. millions into Maine and New Hamp-
- shire yearly.
d 1t would not be waste of money.
W It would be an investment. What
70 would the railroads of the country
amount to if they had waited to pay
. for extensions before work was start
IN ed? That isn't the way modern bust
al ness is done. If proposed improve
n ment bids fair to return reasonable
amount on the cost, the money is bor-
~ rowed, bonds being issued for securi-
n ty. The increased earnings take care
rs of the interest on the bonds and pro-
- vide a sinking fund for the principal.
~ Vermont cannot afford to wait until
I. all her sister states have perfected
&C. their highways and permanently
e. turned the tide of travel away from
her. She has got to be enterprising,
be to have some faith in the future anC
er, take chance. Every candidate fol

,e1 to good roads now-not at some dis
