VERMONT VANDERBILT.
From the Deerfield Valley


1t is spring time in Vermont.
The maple sugar groves, where the wind
has washed through the naked trees OF
the winter are pungent with the fur OF
sugarhouse smoke, and the snow is trick
ling away. spent and dirty with the last
OF lazy inter,
The Green Mountains are awaking.
High up in the clouds of the golden after
moons the endless peaks are yawning, and
mile after mile. far away into the haze of
the ether, they lie with their 6ruff old
backs to the sunshine, browsing in the
warmth and thinking thoughts of the sea =
son which is coming
II is great to live in Vermont in the
spring time. 1t is a better place to live
than anywhere else on earth. Up here the
world Is born new every April. each hour
is an old-gold moment, and time a thing
to be lived,
We may damn and cuss the weather in
the winter swea' rishteously when the
snow swrs down from the mountain
heights and smothers us until for a man
to find his home is a matter of negotia-
ton. But the zero and the days of dag
ger-cod are over, The blue in the sky is
n different blue and the smell In the air
Is good-yerY good.

THE SUMNER RANGE.
The Growing PuIIet Appreciates Free
dom.
PROF. H. r. LEWIS,


New Jersey Agr Experiment Station
OF all the problems confronting poul-
| trymen the successful rearing of growing
stock is the most vital. The question
Is one Of inducing a continuous rapid
development from Matching time to ma
turty.
Success depends upon giving growing
pullets and cockerels ideal environmental
conditions. such as an extended range,
plenty of natural shade, fresh air houses
and abundance of green, succulent food
material in addition to a we'll balanced
grain ration.
Free range is Ideal, being conducive
to uniform and economical growth, VITA
food material in the form of grubs in
sects and green grass. The more range
given the birds the more sanitary their
surroundings, for the droppings will be
we'll distributed and will more quickly
leach into the soil When necessary to
closely confne growing stock during the
summer the area available should be dl-
vided into two runs and each alternately
seeded to green crops.
SHADE ESSENTIAL.
Adequate shade is also essential, giving
protection against the rays of the sun
and a growing bush or tree is the hest
as more moisture Is present than where
artificial shelters Of boards or burlan ara
used. The orchard is a good place TO
rear pullets, and the cornheld is another
portion of the average farm which fur
nlshes ideal range. Sunnowers corn
castor beans and soy beans are some an
nuals which can well be planted for
shade, and peach apple and plum trees
make excellent permanent shade.
a constant supply of green food is
necessary for the best development, and
where birds are on free range there is
usually plenty Of greensward, though on
restricted areas crops, such as peas and
oats buckwheat. soy beans rye, vetch
and crimson clover, can be seeded to
provide a continuous supply.
During hot summer nights all the pro-
lection which chicks need are cheap shell
tiers. relatively wide open, and hence cool
and well ventilated. Shed roof shelters,
open in front and both sides, with pro-
vision for combining birds against enc
mics, is all that is necessary, and a shell
ter six by eight feet will house 80 pul
let's to maturity.
The food supply should be determined
by the condition Of the range well
balanced dry mash, kept in large hop
pers, supplemented by corn and wheat
equal parts), fed broadcast morning and
night with plenty OF fresh water are the
essentials for continuous growth and
early maturity

The house and barn of William
Brooks on the Gleason road in the
town of Rutland. not far from the city.
were burned to the ground shortly be-
fore noon Sunday. The origin of the
fire is not known, but it is supposed
to have been caused by an overheated
chimney. The loss will probably be
$500. as contents of both house and
barn were destroyed. The lack of easy
access to any considerable body of
water was partly responsible for the
total loss.
