MiddleburY College to Get Part OF
Late Senator Eoot's librarX

The Rutland free library has received
a number of books which have been a
part of the bar library of the United
States District and Circuit courts for
the District of Vermont. They had
been given to the bar library by United
States Senator Solomon Foot, who
died in Washington March 28, 1866.
Among the books which have been
turned over to the Rutland library are the
following: Hume's History of England,
in six volumes; Macaulay's History of
England, in four volumes; Sir Walter
Scott's Life of Napoleon, in three
volumes; Capt. Randolph B. Marcy's
Explorations in the valley of the Red
River in Louisiana; Commodore M. C.
Perry Record of the Japan Expedition
of 1924, in three volumes: Rev.
Justus Perkins Eight Years in Persia;
and Rev. S. l. Mahoney's Six Years in
the Monasteries of Italy.
Shortly before his death Senator
Foot gave his library of several hundred
volumes to the bar of the United States
District and Circuit courts for the Dis
trict of Vermont, and the books were
placed 10 the rooms located in the rear
of the court room in the federal build
ing in Rutland. When the office of the
clerk of these courts was moved from
Burlington to Rutland, it became
necessary to move the library to a room
on the third floor of the building, where
the books were valueless to the public
on account of their isolation.
Not long ago the attorney general of
the United States directed that these
books, in order that they might become
available to the public, be given to the
local public library. In pursuance of

A Record Breaking HoIstein Cow

stein-Friesan COW owned by the Stew
ems Bros, Liverpool, N. Y, has broken

20. 766 lbs. of fat, and in 80 days 2, 588. 4
lbs. milk containing 116. 229 lbs. fat, the
amount of fat for the week being / 1-9
lbs. in excess of anything before known.
Cornell University estimates that the
fat produced is equal to 81. 73 lbs. of the
best commercial butter for the week
1856 lbs. for 80 days.
Our State Universities assert that
dairy farmers are losing millions of
dollars every year through the use OF
scrub cows that do not produce one.
fourth as much milk and butter as did
Pontiac Clothilde DeKol I'd. Holsteir
bl eeders are striving to lesson this
great loss by making it possible for
farmer-dairymen to so grade up then
herds with the great milk and butter
producing Holstein blood as to double
the annual production of each COW.
When this is attained, better milk car
be produced more cheaply and yet at a
greater profit, which will be to the adj
vantage of both producer and consumer.
Holstein-Friesian breeders are trying
to breed a cow that will produce in one
week 700 lbs. of milk containing 80 lbs.
of hutterfat. Will they succeed?

The Country Minister.

In a discussion of "The Plight of the
Country Minister" Rev. A. A. Mac
Kenzie offers the following suggestions
toward solution of the problem:
l. The country minister should have a
house and fixed salary of not less than
81 900 year.
2. Our rich men, instead of giving
the whole of their surplus wealth for
the endowment of universities and the
establishing of Libraries, all of which go
to cities and towns, should divert por-
ton of it to the endowment of the
country churches of their own denomi-
nations. James Baird, the Scottish
mine owner gave half million pounds
sterling to endow the smaller parishes
of the Church of Scotland, and, largely
as result of this muniffcence, almost
every Scottish village or country dis
trict, no matter how weak financially,
has well established religious services.
American millionaires may well come to
the rescue of the American country
church, for if Christianity shall cease to
be power in the lives of our farmers,
there is a serious outlook for the nation.
Were church that pays $500 year to
be endowed so that another $500 would
be available, capable pastor could be
secured-one who could afford to stay.
3. Should our rich men fail to do so
great a work, let every denomination
raise a sustentation fund for its coun-
try churches, such as was raised by
DR.. Chalmers when the Free Church
of Scotland left the Established Church.
The objection to the last two sug-
gestions is that where there are two
or three rival churches in a small COM
munity it would be a waste of money
to provide an endowment for them all,
or to support them all from sustenta-
ton funds.
4. The different boards in charge of
the country churches should come to-
gether and make combined effort to
put an end to the divisions which are
the prime cause of the miserable con-
dtion of so many of the country COM
munities.
5. The country churches should be
managed by central board represent
tative of the various denominations.
The filling of vacancies should not be
left to local officials. The voluntary
principle" dear to so many in other
lands, has proved failure so far as our
rural work is concerned. A pastor
should be sent to the country church for
a certain number of years, as is done by
the Roman Catholics and Methodsts,
who have no vacant churches in the
country.

The Cotton Plant,

All humanity wears cotton clothing,
but few people, who live beyond the
cotton growing area know anything
about the growth and development of
the cotton plant. A cotton seed is an
interesting thing. From it we get lard
oil and meal. The cotton plant in fruit
Is more interesting than any rose or pot
ted flower. It's growth and maturity
furnishes an interesting study. The
plant will mature in doors or under cover
IN the Northern states. Get a package
of seed and plant in box in your store
room, in flower pots at your dwelling or
Office or under canvass or glass if out of
doors. Send two dimes to the UNDER
signed address and you will receive post
paid package of seed with instructions
how to plant and fertilize. You can
thus have an attraction that will interest
yourself, your neighbor and your friends.
