Auto Accident at Brandon.

DIR. j. E. Eastwood was badly injur-
ed and had a very narrow escape from
being killed in an automobile accident
last Saturday forenoon in the Arnold
district. He was returning home from
making a call in Whiting and was
driving his Pope-Hartford car and was
running at good speed to make what is
Known as the Arnold hill. At the foot
of the hill the car skidded in the deep
sand, and went over a Is or 20 foot
e~mbankment, turned turtle and landed
bottom side up with the doctor under
meath it. He was pinned down so that
he could not move and all that could be
seen of him was one foot. Fred Ferris
saw the accident and secured the assist
ance of several men, who were working
nea there, and they succeeded in rails
ing the machine, with rails, high enough
so that he was pulled from underneath
it. A telephone call was sent to Bran
don for a doctor, and Will Williams
took DIR. o. C. Baker there in his car,
and they brought DIR. Eastwood to his
home. The car was badly wrecked.
The place where he landed is all rocks,
the car was left in the field, being
wedged between a tree and wall. 1t
was at first given out that he had no
bones broken, and later it was found
that nearly all of his ribs on his left
side were broken. Although his in
%juries are of a very serious nature it is
expected that he will recover.

Ventilate Your Barns,

Farmers who are going to build barns
next summer should make arrange
ments now to put in the King system
of ventilation in their stables. 1t is
not expensive If you make calculations
In time.
The Washington Agricultural college
has the following TO say on the neces-
sity of such ventilation:
Dairy barns are very frequently poor
ly ventilated. The dairy cow is then
not only required to live, but to work,
under V BILE influences. and she
often falls a victim TO such diseases as
tuberculosis. pneumonia, bronchitis and
colds. Foul air Is one of the prime
factors In the production Of such dis
eases. Since the advent of sanitary
science In connection with ventilation
the air space allowed for each animal
has been increased and a number OF
methods of ventilation have been de-
vised. The exercise OF a little care in
such matters will protect the health OF
animals. prevent premature death and
also make possible the highest working
efficiency Of the herd.

The Iowa experiment station is using
a ration for brood sows and sucking
pigs that is made up Of seventy pounds
of cornmeal, ten younds of middlings.
ten pounds of 60 per cent meat meal or
tankage. FIVE pounds of bran. two
pounds Of oilmeal. one pound Of feed.
ing quality of bone -four, n pound OF
limestone dust and a pound of salt.
These feeds are thoroughly mixed and
given In a thick slop, the aim being to
feed just enough to enable the sow to
produce enough milk for her pigs.
This ration looks like an old fashion
ed doctors prescription-a little of ev'
erything-but there is a reason for 1t,
says Kansas Farmer. In the first place
1t has proved to be the best and cheap
est combination of feeds for the pur'
pose, and in the second place it pro
duces results.
1t is well understood that the SOW
must have flesh and bone forming feed
or the pigs will not develop properly
The tankage, bone -four and limestone
dust are added to supply these elements
which are not present in sufficient
quantities in the others.

AS through freight train No. 81, in
charge of Conductor E. o. Griffith and
Engineer Forcier, due here at 4:30 Mon
day afternoon and running about one
hour late, was hurrying to make the
siding to give the northbound fier the
right of way, eight cars left the rails
just after passing over the switch, and
were badly piled up, spilling their con-
tents of marble, coal and merchandise.
The track was torn up for some distance
and the express was delayed about half
an hour while the tail end of the freight
train was being drawn out of the way.
The main line was not obstructed and a
wreck train from Rutland removed the
debris.
The cause of the accident is said to be
due to a defect in the switch while TAX
ing the siding. The work of clearing up
the debris occupied until 9 O'Clock the
next morning. No n was injured.

browns with Her Children

Mount Vernon, July AIRS. Allen
Ross of Rye lost her life to-day while
trying to save the lives of her two
young children, who were drowned in
Long Island Sound.
The mother with her children, a girl
of 10 and a boy of u, went in the after
noon to the rocks on the estate of H.
A. Nichols on Grace Church street.
The children were in bathing suits and
were shooting irecrackers when the
girl dropped a piece of punk over the
edge of the rock. Her brother climbed
down and tried to reach it while his sis
ter held his hand. He slipped and fell
into the deep water, dragging the girl
with him. Mrs. Ross ran to the edge
of the bluff and leaped after them.
She was unable to swim and the three
went down.

it a good thing for their horses to have

We acknowledge that grazing work

heve that there will not be much diff.
ference In the amount of labor per.
formed comfortably by the two classes
of horses.
The cost OF the upkeep OF work
horses is a big item In these days. and,
as this subscriber says, it Is excessive
ly high this year. Under such circum-
stances grass is the cheapest food that
can be utilized. as it saves buying high
priced hay. and in some cases 1t may
save buying high priced grain While
we think that a horse doing a heavy
days work every day needs grain. yet
on many farms where there is plenty
of horsepower and the work Is n o very
strenuous In such cases where the
horses are in fair flesh they may be
taken through a working season In q
very satisfactory manner on grass
alone. We have always been a devout
champion of grass as a food for all
classes of live stock. and we believe
that its merit is not in any way less
ened when it is used somewhat lib
orally for the work horse.

SMALL OR LARGE SHEEP.
An Argument In Favor Of Handling the
Lighter Breeds.

An Argument In Favor Of Handling the
Lighter Breeds.
The question often arises as to which
proves itself the more profitable to the
breeder and feeder Of sheep. a heavy
sheep or a small but better quality
one, writes w. II. Underwood. Let US,
for example, take the Oxford and
Hampshire cross as a type Of big sheep,
II being a favorite cross, and the Shrop-
shire as an example of a smaller and.
It may be said with all due respect to
the before mentioned cross, a better
quality sheep.
1t is well known that big sheep are
big and consequently can
not be so thick on the land as small
sheep can. and, for instance, where 100
breeding ewes Of the Oxford-Hamp-
shire type can be kept 40 Shropshires
could be run on the same given guam
tity of land. Then. too. the Shropshire
is more prolific than any other short
wooded breed. and, whereas n and
%one-fourth lambs per 1--WE is considered
quite a satisfactory average in the Ok
ford and Hampshire f1ocks or the cross
between the two above named. one
and three-fourths Is quite common and
one and a half the usual average in
Shropshire f1ocks. so that, taking the
example before mentioned on the same
given quantity of land, 100 cross Oxford
Hampshires would produce 125 lambs,
and the $40 S~hropshires in all prob
ability would produce 900, mortality
being about the same In both cases.
And again. when the time comes for
the lambs to go on grain there Is no
comparison between the amount that
an Oxford Hampshire will consume as
against the Shropshire. One and one
half pounds of grain per day is about
the average quantity given to the first
mentioned sheep, whereas half that al
lowance is ample and is all that Is gen.
orally allowed to a Shropshire. There
fore the quantity of grain consumed
by the Shropshires, although nearly
100 more. would be considerably less
per day than consumed by the Oxford
Hampshlres and in FIVE or six months
feeding would amount to a pretty sub
stantial difference.
Also a Shropshire will clip as great
a weight of wool as any other short
wooded breed and generally realizes
more. and when draft ewes come to BIZ
sold In the autumn those of the Shrop
shire or more compact type are far
better to sell. as appearances often &c
against the sale of big, unshapely ole
ewes. The mutton also is Of better
quality and makes more per pound II
the market than any ave the South
down.

Sudden Death Of Edward Dudley

Edward Dudley was found dead in his
room at the Logan house at about ten
o'clock Saturday night. Two physicians
who were summoned thought that he
had been dead less than a half hour
and that he died of disease of the heart
to which he was subject. Mr.. Dudley
was 62 years old in March last and was
born in Canada, his father being the
late Lewis Dudley of East M~iddlebury.
He spent most of his early years in that
village. In later years he became an
expert ytone and brick layer and for
nearly 80 years had made his home at
the Logan house, where he died. He had
a large number of friends throughout
this section and many other parts of the
State. He leaves two sisters in this
town, Josephine. wife of Ira H.
LaFleur, and Matilda, wife of Dumas
Hope.
The funeral was held from his late
home at the Logan house Tuesday after
noon at 2 o'clock. Rev. John Evans
Bold, rector of st. Stephens church,
omciated and the burial was in the
the family lot in the cemetery
at East Middlebury. The bearers
were George Kidder, Thomas Burns,

THE FALL OF TURKEY FoREroLp

THE FALL OF TURKEY FoREToLp
The dire prophecy has been handed
down from the seats of the mighty at
Washington that 1920 will see the end
Of the turkey tribe II the present rate
Of decrease continues.
In 1900 there were 6,b94.095 turkeys
in the United States. In 1910 there
were but 3,66s. 708. a decrease of almost
100000. In the same decade chick
ems increased from $780, 21 to $780,
345,133.
The whole truth in a turkey egg
shell Is that the United States depart
ment Of agriculture has neglected tur-
key culture, and the state experiment
stations have done little to conserve
the turkey. with the exception Of
Rhode Island. which has done more to
help turkey breeders than Washington
and all the other states taken togeth-
er. 1t has been all chickens and eggs.
Even the quacks have received more
attention thar the juicy, money max
ing turkey. and the farmer without
reliable Information has gone on and
inbred and III fed his turkeys to death,
so that today the United States is
nearly all in the turkey graveyard
belt.
Now Washington turns her conser-
walton searchlight on the turkey rem
nants and commands us to hustle or
there will be n turkless Thanksgiving
and Christmas In 1920.
But. oh. you Washington big guns,
why not get out some practical turkey
data for the turkey raiser? And, oh,
you experiment stations, why not put
some time and state appropriation on
this question and help save the tur
key? And. oh. you directors Of farm.
ers' Institutes. why not compel your
poultry lecturers to qualify on turkey
culture and thus spread reliable tur
key information throughout the states
When the powers that be combine
with breeders In a campaign for the
conservation of the turkey then and
then only will turkdom prosper

WHAT KINDNESS WILL DO.

There was a day when Mother Hen
Didn't rrance around so swell.
Her picture wasn't in the press,
Nor did she live so well.
She roasted on the rough grindstone
And froze up In the tree.
Old skunk and fox and long cared owl
Oft gobbled her with glee.
She stole feed from the corncrib
Or from the STOP bari rim
She reached to drink the sour swill
And. ker1op. she fell in!
She scratched in the foul dung pile
And in the dark horse sta bic.
And thus a living she picked up
So far as she was able.
Her color was like calico.
OF Eggs she laid a few.
Her meat-well. II was fairly good.
Though some too tough to chew.
But some one pitied this poor hen
And gave her a fair chance.
And she returned the kindness
With a marvellous advance.
She's now the billion dollar hen
OF whom we're all SO proud.
Her ROSTERS cock of the high perch
No wonder he crows loud!
She's got the gold mines skinned q mile.
The wheat and cotton fields
Are just back number when compared
With what bright Biddy yields.
Now, that's what thought and kindness
did
With 4 discouraged hen.
You bet II works with Biddyl
You bet It works with men!
