At the present stage of the corn

more to good yields than frequent
shallow cultivation. 1t requires
less work to run over plot twice

off.bar the crop, hoe it out, aud
throw a furrow TO the plant. Weeds
are easiest kept down by being
destroyed when they first come up.

Horses and Reciprocity.

The Free Press has frequently urged
the farmers of Vermont to devote in.
creased attention to horse breeding on
the ground that in spite OF the increased
use of automobiles the demand for
good horses is sure to increase. That
this is true and that this situation will
not be changed in the event of the adop.
ton of reciprocity with Canada is in
eidentally brought out by recent state.

general manager of the Canadian ma
tional bureau of breeding.
In speaking of the scarcity of horses
in Canada in connection with military
matters, Mr.. Ryan said: Canada is. 81.
900 remounts short Of mobilization and
England is 29s,000 short" Not long
since | visited the arm posts in western
Canada; nearly all of the mounted regi-
ments / saw came to camp very weak,
and in no case approaching their estab-
lishment. This is due to the scarcity
Of horses, and while heavy farm horses
and draft horses are bred in abundance.
the cavalry horse is getting very scarce,
Now the farmers of Vermont as a
rule don't breed the kind of horse that
Canada produces, namely, the heavy
draft horse, and we are unable TO sup
ply the demand for both the heavy farm
horses as well as the handsome driver,
which has been the favorite with our
breeders. As a matter Of fact, we are
constantly bringing heavy horses shere
from the West, whereas we ought to
produce our own draft horses and help
supply the demand for fine drivers as
well.-Burlington Free Press.

system was not the cause which actuated
the Central Vermont to promise new

lion in Burlington: and since Editor
John i. Southwick was one Of the con-
ferees in the discussion which took place
some time ago, he is in a position to
state the situation accurately. However,

how Others grabbed the irate Mondell

A Penny Saving Plan for School Chill
dreri,

A Penny Saving Plan for School Chill
dren.
Worthy Of commentator and wide
spread adoption is & system of penny
savings BY the children OF the public
/ schools that is now in vogue in numer
ous cities and towns in Massachusetts
and other states. In general the opera
ton Of the system il under the super,
vision of local women's clubs, and par.
tieularly such Of those organizations a.
are interested in extension work, like
the Loyal club Of White River Junction
and the Village Improvement society Of
Hartford village.
The employment of any means that
viii nculcate habit Of thrift in chill
dreu, Is worthy OF commentator and
adoption. Teach the child to save its
own pennies, and the result Is, man or
woman possessing the wisdom to care
for the dollar. 1t Il, or should be, a
part Of a ehild's education to know the
value Of thrift and economy.
The provision Of this plan for the
penny savings Of school children pro-
vide that child who may want to take
part in the work can bring his or her
pennies To school, where representatives
OF club or clubs, take the money and
give in return stamps of various de-
nominations, which in turn are posted
in books provided for the purpose. When
a child gets 81, 81 or 50 worth Of stamps,
as the ease may be. he or she is en-
couraged to start bank account, and
if this is the result then the child has
the privilege OF opening a new stamp
book and repeating the operation as oft
en- as is wished The work OF collecting
the children's pennies and supplying the
stamps and making out the little ae-
count books, is all done out Of school
hours that there may be no interior
ence with the schools regular studies
and recitations. A committee from some
woman's club is assigned to some par.
ticular school, which is visited at a
stated hour and day, say Monday at
II noon, or at { Tuesday afternoon.
As nothing but good comes from thrift
and the starting Of a bank account, it
would seem that this penny savings
plan for public school children might
be set in operation in any public school
whether in village OF outlying district.
