Don't half feed the pure bred calf,
but remember the improvers Of the
breeds were heavy feeders. II your
herd is to be up to the standard they
must be crowded when young. Grain
put into bull calves is we'll marketed.
and as soon as the calf is big enough
for service. II he is in good condition
and attractive, experience teaches
that there will soon be some one who
will give you your price. Remember
that a prospective purchaser is not
going to buy bull that he does not
fancy and take him home and have
his neighbors make unkindly remarks
about himself and the bull. He wants
an animal, in general appearance. SUI
perior to the remainder of his herd.
This applies to other breeds of pure
bred animals as we'll. Ten years ago
a neighbor weighed pure bred three.
year.old Percheron stallion on the col.
lege scales. His weight was little
over 1,400 pounds. l remarked, He Is
not very large for his age" "Oh. he

and So" This colt had had poor care
some time. This is one difficulty with
the pure bred business. Some people
will not feed to develop early matur-
ity. but will rely too much on the fact
that the animal is pure bred.
Don't allow the young bulls to run
with the herd after they begin to be
troublesome. but take them up and
give them a grain ration. This will
hasten growth and retain the calf fat.
Don't allow young bulls to 60 until
they become unruly. but break to the
halter when quite young. A few les
sons in the halter will soon be learned
and never forgotten.
Don't feed your young bulls on corn
entirely. as 1t is too carbonaceous
ration. Balance with oil meal. Gotten.
seed meal. alfalfa or clover hay. Bet
ter growth Of the calf will be secured.
and you will secure a greater feeding
value out Of the corn.
Don't fed an army OF lice. whether
the chicken louise or the regular cattle
louise. as no animal can thrive prop.
erly when louzy.

A Cheap Fertilizer for Oats

Farmers having a light, sandy
soil, or whose farms are fair loan,
but which have been exhausted by
long continued cropping without
much fertilizer, will find it still pos
sible to raise fair crops by the use
of Fertilizing Salt This kind of
fertilizer appears to give especially
good results on Oats. It'not only
makes the straw SITTER, consequent
ly making the crop less liable to
lodge and rust, but also keeps the
ground moist and so insures bet
ter catch when grass seed is sown
with the Oats.
A very desirable Salt for fertiliz-
ing purposes is sold by c. S. PAGE,
Hyde Park, VT. 1t is more valu-
able than most cheap salts, as it
contains more or less refuse matter
which comes from the hides on
which it has been used. The price
is only $500 per ton, f. o. b. Hyde
Park, and the freights are moderate
especially on IS ton carloads. This
price is soc less than last year and
is likely to be only temporary. Or
ders therefore should be placed as
early as possible. Prompt ship
ment can be made and full particu-
lars will be given on request.

UNI ON TAXATION QUESTIONS
New Law Much Discussed Subject Just Now.


Many people thought the Monitor
must be mistaken when it stated last
week that Attorney General Brown
and State Tax Commissioners Plumley
had construed the new tax law to mean
that mortgages. notes and other paper
drawing interest at five per cent or
less, were not exempt unless such pa
per was given for actual money loaned.
The Monitor was right however, in
making the statement as evidenced by
the following ruling from Mr.. Plum
ley. It will be seen that running book
accounts. mortgages on property and
notes for property cannot be exempt
no matter at what rate interest is pay
able. All exemptions under this law
must be on paper evidencing money"
loaned and money only. At least one
prominent attorney in Orleans county
believes this Interpretation of the law
is wrong and undoubtedly someone will
carry case through the courts. How
ever this may be, listers must do their
duty as the law stands and as construed
for them, no matter what their per-
sonal opinion or the personal opinion of
others. The ruling on this point is as
follows:
Money loaned in the state of Yer.
mont at rate of interest not exceed.
ing five per cent. evidenced by a prom
| lsSOry note, mortgage on real or per-
sonal estate or by bond for deed, is
exempt from taxation. Such notes
mortgages or bonds for deed must rep
resent bona fide money loans and the
evidence must be furnished by the note
itself and not by any written or printed
paper or agreement pinned or attached
thereto.
1.-The rate of interest must be plainly
stated, be unconditional and the whole
transaction must be begun and com.
pleted within the state of Vermont, as
distinctly set forth in the law. An en-.
stating that the interest on the within
note after certain given date shall be
five per cent, or some plainly stated
rate less than five per cent, ano
further signed by the payee or by
both the payor and payee, might, fol
the purposes of taxation, bring such {
note within the intent and purpose OF
the law, but whenever practicable
new papers should be made.
mo notes given in lieu of book &C
counts at any rate of interest or with
out interest should be so exempt, az
the law distinctly states that "mor ey
| loaned and evidenced" by such notes
shall be exempt from taxation and mo-
goods sold and evidenced by srcl
notes shall be exempt" 1t was The
evident intent of the law to encours gt
the loaning of money at low rate OF
interest, and not to exempt from tax a
ton all forms of credit within thu
state"

No Use for New Law
Mr.. Editor :

Mr.. Editor:
Possibly owe Mr.. Locke an apology
for misconstruing his language when
explaining the new tax law, but when
he said: ssTbe only thing to do was to
concur with the senate or refuse" and
this after he had once voted against
the bill, and had also said, LET US all
hope this will work out with advan-
tage to many. hardship to few and
perhaps lead to something better
still, these declarations led me to
infer that he did not consider it the
right thing but voted for it hoping it
was wrong in my conclusions and did
him an injustice humbly beg his par
don. He pulls me up rather sharply
for my published article on the new
law, but his inuendoes that ANA hit
bird" or "a pig who has lost his
swill," fall harmless as have passed
my four score years and am not listed.
But my interest in the doings of my
native state are the same as when /
took an active part. Mr.. Locke in his
last article speaks of tax dodgers and
says: of course they "swat" this law
and promotes the idea that the man
with an offset is tax dpdger and that
this law brings all his property into
the grand list. Now it is an indispu-
table fact that wealth does not bear it's
just proportion of taxation. / was tax
collector for several years in the town
where lived during and after the civil
war and again in 1881 and / know
what am talking about when l say
that the weather. men are the tax
dodgers and not the man who is in debt
and had an offset. The wealthy man
80 Ii
not reach it, the poor mans property
is all visible and is taxed. Mr.. Locke
says that nineteen out of twenty farm
ers profit by the new law. Now ]
have personal knowledge of farmers,
who owe dollar for dollar the worth OF
their property and under this new law
they have no offset and must pay taxes
on all they have. I take the liberty
to differ with Mr.. Locke's statement
that, five per cent interest rate saves
a great majority of debtors more than
they lose on offset and will in the
near future give figures to disprove it.
Mr.. Locke says he has no apology to
make for his vote but his whole article
is apologize, and especially where he
says, 1.-The only thing to do was to
vote for it or refuse to concur with the
senate
Several persons who usually utilize
the open season for deer hunting are
anxious for light on section 10 of the
game law. Paragraphs a, b, C, say the
governor may issue his proclamation
closing the season and if any person
kills deer while the proclamation is
in force he shall pay a fine of one
hundred dollars and costs. What they
want to know is: in case they were in
camp in some remote forest, miles
away from all mail, telephone or tele-
graph service and should kill deer in
ignorance of the proclamation, if they
would have to pay thu fine, / think
common law holds that ignorance of
the law is no excuse for violating it.
but in this case it would seem to work
a hardship. Give us light.

The business men Of Island Pond re-
Gently met and discussed the new tele-
phone rates put in force by the Pas
sumpsic company. They appointed a
committee to look up the matter of a
mutual telephone line and entered a
strenuous protest against the proposed
toll charge between that place and
Newport. AS result the company has
decided to make no toll charge between
those places. The raise in rates is
causing much discussion in this coun-
ty and it is reported that many instru-
ments are being taken out. In Barton
village where mutual independent
line exists, a number of new phones
are being installed on the independent
line and the president of the Barton
company is receiving many requests for
information about cost of lines etc.
1t would not be at all surprising if
mutual lines sprung up in this coun-
ty.

STATE NEWS.
Hunting Licenses.
Greensboro, VT.

State Fish and Game Commissioner
Titcomb has issued a circular letter
calling attention to the change in the
hunting license law. This law is found
in Act No. POL of the acts published as
a supplement to the various state pa
pers and in the News of the issue of
March 4. By the former law, residents
of the state of Vermont were entitled
to hunting licenses on payment of Soc.
fees. Section l of the new law pro-
vides for definition of what resident
is for this purpose and states that in
order to be resident person must
not only have lived in the state not
less than six months, but must also be
a citizen Of the United States. I'm
naturalized persons are now therefore
for this purpose non residents and must
pay the non resident hunters license
fee of $40. so.
Fines Central Vermont Twice.
Fines of SIPS and $3.50 were imposed
upon the Central Vermont railroad this
forenoon by United States Judge
James L. Martin for violations of the
hours of service act. United States
District Attorney Alexander Dunnett
of ST. Johnsbury appeared for the pros
ecution and G. w. Writer'S of ST. AL
bans for the defense. The statute in
substance provides that no employee
shall be kept in continuous employment
more than Is hours. 1t was alleged
that in February, 1912, some of the
employees were kept at work 10 hours
but the train schedule showed that the
time limit o. 16 hours was only exceed.
ed 40 minutes. Judge Martin made the
fine for this offense SIPS. The other
offense alleged that train in the same
month was stalled at West Hartford
on it's way from st. Adams to White
River Junction and the limit was ex
ceeded two and one quarter hours. A
fine of $3.50 was imposed.
