IN the Union are as well covered
as Vermont in this sort of public
service. An article on expert aid
for farmers written by Hon. E. S.
Brigham, State Commissioner of
Agriculture is quoted in this con-
nection and shows what excellent
progress Vermont is making.
The subject of dairying is treated
at considerable length and facts and
figures are quoted from census re-
ports and publications of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture which show that taking in
to account area and population Yer
mont is the leading dairy state in
the Union. This state stands at the
head of the list in the number of
cow testing associations being tied
with New York for first place when
the last report was made. While
exact reports could not be obtained
regarding the shipment Of milk
outside of the state, reports from
two of the leading railroads and
estimates for the third important
the other two indicate that in the
year 1912 practically 100000
quarts Of milk and 100000 quarts
of cream were shipped out of Yer
mont.
The opportunities for raising beef
cattle are also set forth.
How Vermont Stands
A series of tables is published,
the first Of which shows that Yer
mont leads the Union in the ratio
of dairy COWS per population, having
one COW to 1.3 persons. The only
states that approach this record
are Iowa, Wisconsin and South Da-
kota with a ratio of one to 1.5.
| Vermont makes a notable record in
pounds of butter per capita, with a
record of 96.6 pounds. No other
state approaches this record. Only
three states produce half as much
Minnesota with 500 pounds, Iowa
with 572 pounds, and Wisconsin
with Sc. pounds. Only six states
produce a third as much, and only
eight states produce a fourth as
much per capita as Vermont. Yer
mont's average production of pounds
Of butter per farm is 1,112.6. Only
four states produce half as much
only seven states a third as much
and only fifteen states a fourth a!
much. Vermont leads the Union
in average number of pounds O.
butter per COW with 1888 pounds
In pounds of butter per square
mile, Vermont is far in the lead O.
any other state. In dairy COWS PEI
square mile, only one state leads
Vermont, and in all cattle pei
square mile only two states leat
Vermont.
Those persons who think Vernon
farms are not fertile will do we'll tt
peruse the tables given, showing
the average yield of staple crops pc
acre and the average price paid fo1
such crops. Last year only eigh
states raised more bushels of corr
per acre than Vermont. For thu
past four years the average numbe
of states raising more corn per acre

Closing his speech at Newport
Thursday evening. C.. H. Thompson,
chairman of the Progressive state
committee said: "There is no middle
ground. Either you are for us or
against US in this fight. Which?'.
During the course of his address he
also said:
''In the Legislature of Vermont in
session last winter, the Progressive
party stood for what they had outlined
in their platform, and as result Of
hard conscientious work. by the 35
men of our party in that legislatures
were able to pass fifteen of our bills.
Sin the passage of these bills we
did have the assistance and co-opera-
ton of the governor of the state of
Vermont. and Of men in both Republi
can and Democratic parties who were
of Progressive beliefs personally but
who were not members of the Progress
sive party at that time"
On which side were the men you
refer to above, Mr. Thompson, as
helping your party measures but who
were not members Of your party? Were
they for you or against you? Or die
they support your measures because
they honestly believed in them? Or
the other hand were some of the mem
bers OF your own party who opposed
your bills for or against you? Or II
both cases did these gentlemen ac
according to their own beliefs? Is i
not possible for men of absolutely
honest opinions to be against you
Who sets the standards of right ane
wrong? What makes you judge o.
men?

Paint or Not

Is horse worth more or less after
feed?
Hay and oats are high today; shall J
wait today and feed him tomorrow?
That's how men do about painting
their houses aud barns and fences.
Paint has been high for several years;
and SO they have waited. Paint il
high yet; they are still waiting; thou
sands OF 'em are waiting for paint to
fall
Their property drops a trifle year
and the next job of paint creeps- up

From the general manner in which
the paragraph regarding the pickpock-
ct affairs has been mentioned it would
appear that the way these gentlemen
have been used hereabouts is not very
popular with the people and that more
strenuous protest will be heard in the
future should they be allowed to get
away without suffering the penalty of
the law. Allowing them their free
dom on any such low bail as $500 seems
ridiculous to the uninitiated.

We notice that Senator Dillingham;
states that he heartily approves OF the
plan adopted by the Republican con-
ference in New York Of changing the
basis of representation in the national
Republican convention to conform to
the relative strength of the party in
the different states rather than by
Congressional districts as heretofore.
Whv should there be any opposition to
such a plan?

Orleans county was favored with one
of the two Progressive rallies held in
Vermont this fall. Orleans county, it
will be recalled, was the strongest
Progressive county in Vermont as
shown by the vote cast for governor
last fall. While it is generally adj
mitted that the enthusiasm has subsid-
ed to a large extent there are still
many Progressives here and the size
and enthusiasm of the audience at
Newport Thursday evening should be
pleasing to those of the Progressive
faith.

This experiment was conducted at
the Kansas Agricultural college:
The pigs shown in the accompanying
chart were litter mates. The larger
pig was fed on a ration Of corn and
alfalfa hay; the smaller on corn alone.
Several filters Of weanling pigs were
equally divided into two lots. The
pigs were carefully chosen as to
weight and thriftiness, SO that each lot
represented fair average Of the total
number of pigs used in the expert.
ment.
The experiment was carried on fol
a period Of eight months. At the end
of this time the pigs fed on corn and
alfalfa hay we're in excellent condi

ton for market and averaged $50
pounds, dressed, while the pigs fed
on corn alone were thin and scrawny
and averaged but go pounds each. In
the latter case, one pig died Of what
the veterinarian declared to be starva-
ton, Notwithstanding the fact that
this lot Of pigs had all the corn they
could eat.
Must Have Protein.
The 60-pound pigs lacked protein,
that element required in growing
animals. to develop bone and mus
Gle, blood, nerve and tissue-that
which builds the frame-the very
thing that the pigs do not get when
fed upon corn alone.
Corn is deficient in protein and has
an abundance of starch and sugar.
Neither alfalfa nor corn when fed
alone will give the best results, but a
combination OF the two make a per-
fectly balanced ration.
A balanced ration is a combination
of feeds containing elements necessary
for the proper physical development of
the animal. Protein, the most essen.
tial element in animal feed, builds the
frame OF the body while corn is essen
TALLY valuable for the production OF
fat.
The bones Of the "corn-alfalfa" lot of
pigs were double the size of the lot
fed on corn alone and stood a breaking
strain of 1870 pounds as against 520
pounds for the lot fed on single "a
ton of corn.

MONEY IN ALFALFA.

J. Otis Humphrey, judge U. S. Dis.
trict court, Springfield, Illinois: "You
can grow alfalfa anywhere in the corn
belt and the crop is worth $50 an
acre.
Joseph Wing of Ohio: Alfalfa will
pay any farmer 6 per cent. on $500
an acre land. I have proved this upon
for years.

We notice that Sunday hunting goes
right on in Orleans county while
reports from other parts of the state
show that prosecutions are common tor

Sunday hunting in Orleans county? If
not, why not?
