state farmers how to maintain prac-
tical and business-like system of rec
ords and accounts.
$500 on work stock alone, due to the
fact that he had more animals than he
could keep busy. 1t is really a ques-
ton Of each farmer studying out how
many head of animals he can profit
ably maintain, and then not exceeding
this number. Tho same thing is true
of the scrub cows which eat up the
profits of the other farm departments.
The work Of the Missouri farm man
agement department is statewide in
scope and Is efficient in solving the
problems Of the five-acre farm, the
50O-acre farm, or the farm whose own
er merely desires to keep the wolf
from the door, or to save his place
from being burdened. with mortgage.
In word, the department is devot-
ing just as much attention and study
to replanting an improbable ten-acre
truck or fruit farm as 1t is to remodel
ing an S.000-acre stock farm.
Tho Concrete Examples.
Among the practical results which
the department has obtained in its
first aid work to the farmers is the
case of 140-acre farm which, the
first year 1t was worked, yielded ten
bushels of corn, 15 bushels Of potatoes.
and one-fourth of ton of hay to the
acre.
The managerial experts recommend
ed the use of better seed, the fall dis
tribution Of 15 tons of manure to the
acre, and modern methods Of culture;
this farmer followed these directions
and the second year afterwards he
harvested 40 bushels of corn, one and
three-Quarter tons of hay, and 100 BUSH
els of potatoes to the acre on the fields
on which these crops were grown.
He was a man of very limited capital
and the season he requested depart
mental assistance his assets amounted
to $4,000, while his liabilities totaled
$500. At the end of the second year
following, he was out of all danger of
debt and had tiny sum stored away
In the bank.
Another notable illustration of man
agerial efficiency resulted where hog
raiser on a rough, 100-acre farm shift
ed his troubles to the shoulders of the
expert managers who set him right on
his feeding system and got him to
study market conditions and require
ments, so that he last year realized ST.
200 from the sale of his swine. where
as previously his high mark for hogs
for single year was $500.
Although ordinary work stock are
not supposed to yield much Of an an
nual profit another farmer cleared $500
+ in one year from his work animals sub
sequent to consulting with the depart
mental experts who advised him to
decrease the number of work animals
which he kept and to work the horses
and mules more during the winter.

poor rotation, the use. of scrub seed,
anc the under-feeding of his market

He followed their directions, improv-

profitable return from his made-to-or-

The farm has materially gained in
fertility, it has increased in annual
crop production. and this veal 1t paid

BENNINGTON FREE
LIBRARY DURING
THEPAST YEAR
Annual Reports of Librarian and
Treasurer
INCREASE OF CIRCULATION
Loans Nearly Five Thousand in Ex-
cess of 1912 and 46s New
Borrowers

The annual meeting OF the Young
Mems Association, the organization
which directs the affairs of the Lii
brary Hall property, was held Mon
day, March 16.
In compliance with the provisions
of the deed of trust. the following re-
port is presented for the year just
ended:
Report of Librarian
To the trustees of the Bennington
Free Library and the people OF the
town Of Bennington:
1t is my privilege to submit 10 you
the annual report of the Library COW
ering the work for the year ending
March IS, 1914. There are now in
the Library 6,SSS volumes; during
the year we have added 80 govern
ment publications and $50 books;
liz by purchase and 3S by gift. On
ly AZ have been discarded because
Of the careful mending and covering
of many of the old volumes.
On account Of other necessary ex.
penditures this year, we have made
no notable additions to any of the
departments. but we hope that in the
following year we may Increase our
reference department. In spite OF
this fact, however, we have issued
for home use 34,093 volumes. a gain
of 4,745 over last year. The total
number OF borrowers is 1879 GAGS is
these are new borrowers this YEAR,
This makes the circulation per capt
ia about volumes. The standard
number of volumes of circulation
per capita. considered by the Ameri-
can Library Association, is 5. Hence,
we feel that we have held our own,
and crept a bit above the standard.
The largest circulation per month
was in November 1918, when 500,
volumes were circulated of this
number 472 volumes were non-hction,
which shows the steady growth for
more staple reading The smallest
circulation per month was in Febru-
airy 1914. when 1887 books were Is
sued; this decrease may be account
for in the recall of books in that
month for the annual shelf-reading.
The largest circulation per day was
900 volumes.
During the year We have sent
travelling libraries to two of the
district schools, besides calling upon
two others. The teachers have been
complementing their school-room
work by sending the pupils to the Ii
brary for extra references. The
pupils come not only after school,
but during their free periods. and il
this way we are in close touch with
the schools. The High School pupils
have met in classes with the Librar-
ian at the Library, and have been
shown the use of the magazine index
reference books. and catalogue, and
position of the books in the stacks.
There has also been a class from the
High School to receive instructions
in the mending and care of books.
The teachers have co-operated with
the Librarian most cordially. and for
this hearty cooperation of the teach
ers both in the High school and the
grades We are very grateful
For the window-box and also a die
tionary and holder in the childrens
room we are indebted to the late
Mrs. Tibbals. Seven books OF fic
ton were given by Mrs. l. Wood.
In gifts to the private subscrl,
ton fund. for new books. the follow
ing neonle responded mos. heartily.
