When any one Is buying a coat or
fishing rod or n rose tree or laying
down a cellar or setting up library
either he knows what he wants, where
to get it and what to pay for it or else
he takes earnest counsel with his
friends and with the most trustworthy
professional advisers that he can find
and uses all the wits that he and 9th
ers can bring to bear on the subject in
order to make sure that his purchase
is prudently conducted. He attends
sales, rummages in shops and dis
cusses the matter in his club until he
and it are voted a nuisance If only
half as much time and trouble were
devoted to the careful selection of in
vestments there would be fewer bad
companies, INSCRIPTIONS promoters
and ornamental directors, the world
would be very much richer, and its
riches would show less tendency to
gravitate into questionable hands

DAIRY qna
CREAMERY
FEEDING DAIRY CALVES.
6kimmiIk Makes a Better Animal Than
Does Whole Milk

A prominent Holstein breeder in
formed us the other day that he was
feeding 50 worth of butter fat each
day to his calves, says Hoard's Dairy
man. 1t has been his opinion that
better calf could be developed by feed
ing whole milk instead of skimmilk.
Another breeder, raising the same kind
of cattle, feeds whole milk for two
weeks only and then uses skimmilk,
and it is his opinion better calves can
be reared on skimmilk than on whole
milk.
Our observation and experience lead
us to believe that skimmilk is a bet
ter feed for dairy calves than whole
milk. For the first few months calves
fed on skimmilk may not have coats
as sleek and smooth, but when they
shed their baby hair, which is done
when about eight months old, their
appearance will be quite as satisfac-

A prosperous brother from New York
city is spending his vacation in one of
the good farming towns of Addison
county. The pleasant scenes and balmy
air moving him to piety, he went to
church. Being innocent, he was seated
in a front pew, where he worshipped
the Lord as solitary as the daughter of
Zion in the book of Lamentations. His
fuzzy locks rose among the seat backs
like shades of clustered palm trees mid
weary wastes of sand. The collection
came sudden. The startled brother
gripped to his change pocket, but found
it empty. Heroically he took out his
bill book. There was nothing smaller
than S. bill. The plate had reached
him and it passed to the more prudent
members of the congregation with his
five dollars upon it. Several interesting
questions arise. Did St. Peter credit
the brother with SIS or only with the
quarter he was looking for? The col
lection that day being for the heather,
might not the deacons keep out S4. Is
to fix up the meeting house? Lastly,
did the brother go to church the next
Sunday?

THE WAITS RIVER VALLEY.

Vermont has many scenic beauties,
but to the lover of quiet and seclusion
the State has nothing more attractive
than the road along the upper reaches
of Waits River in the towns of Warren
and Waitsfield. The traveller from the
eastern side of the mountains feels him
self more and more in the heart of the
hills as he winds up the White River
valley from Bethel to Rochester. At
Hancock the mountains have mar
rowed the farms until the fields
run lengthwse along the curving
road, and through Granville one keeps
thinking he must have passed the last
house before the unbroken woods.
Beyond Warren this expectation is
realized and the traveller is on one of
the grandest, most romantic, most
wildly beautiful highways it will ever
be his privilege to behold, All is as
the great Lover of Beauty made it ex-
cept the smooth, gently descending
road, built no wider than is needful.
The trees hang heavy overhead and cast
a shade which only Vergil could
describe. The brook follows all the way
with laughter and song. Waterfalls
break from the rocks on either side.
Now and then some lonely bird of the
forest seems to call to one in sympathy
1t is like the trossacks of Walter Scott
only Igrander, richer, of heavier,
wilder music. Mile after mile river
and road run side by side, until the
rocks break apart and the fertile valley
broadens for quiet homes and peaceful
fields.
Vermont needs poets. Scientific agri-
culture may be useful, but our greatest
need is men of soul to help US feel the
wealth we have in our mountains Just
as the Almighty made them. If we
could listen to the spirits in our hills,
narrowness and moral uginess and
petty Jealousy would disappear and our
souls would grow generous and strong
and pure. Daniel P. Thompson instilled
into the soul of Vermont the greatness
of her early manhood. When shall we
have the poet who will breathe into us
the more subtle but not less noble mes
sage of the hills God gave us for our
home?

FEED ROUGHAGE FREELY.
Dairy Cattle Give Better Results When
Hay Is Given Before Grain.

In order to produce milk economi-
cally the rough feed produced on the
farm should be used to the fullest ex-
tent possible. While 1t Is essential to
feed some concentrates to good dairy
cows the skillful feeder always strives
to get his cows to consume as much as
possible Of the bulkier feed before add
ing any grain.
An instance Of Improbable feeding
was recently brought to our attention,
says the Kansas Farmer. A high pro-
ducing herd of pure bred dairy cattle
We're being fed for milk production.
The farm was well supplied with silage
and alfalfa hay. In addition concen-
trated feeds were purchased for the
cows.
This farm was being handled by a
man who was working on salary. The
owner became dissatisfied with the re-
suits and secured a new man. AS a re-
suit of the first months work the new
man reduced the bill for purchased
feeds from $24O to $500, and the COWS
produced more milk during this month
than they did during the month in
which they consumed the large amount
Of purchased feeds.
We were somewhat interested to
learn just exactly what had brought
about this change. We found that the
first feeder had been feeding each COW
all the grain she would clean up. In
addition she was given what sflage
and alfalfa she would eat after having
full feed of grain The new feeder
found the cows without paunch capac-
lily, since they were eating grain large
~ because they liked it better and con-
Bequently consuming relatively small
amounts of silage and alfalfa. The
method Of feeding was changed so that
the cows were induced to eat the max
lmum quantities of farm grown feeds,
then each COW was given In addition
reasonable quantity of grain. the
amount being gagged by the work she
was doing at the pail. There is a les
son in this for every feeder of dairy
Rattle, as 1t is the marketing of farm
grown feeds that brings the profit to
the farmer.

1t is well to remember that improper

State with zeal and fidelity for nearly a
score of years and whose eminent sue
cess in every position was a guarantee
of greater service in the future
Therefore, be it
Resolved: That in the death of Ed
ward Mortimer Roscoe. while he was
still in the prime of his usefulness, the
teaching profession has lost a most
promising member; Vermont, a wise
counsellor in affairs of public education;
and society, leader of genial character
lists, OF optomistic and inspiring tenn

an example of the best type of Chris

TURN down BIG WAR ORDER
Dodge Brothers Have Entire Output
for Coming Season Sold and Re-
fuse Foreign Order

A cabled offer of an order for over
$1,000,000 worth Of motor cars ha.
been received and turned down by
Dodge Brothers, the big Detroit motor
car manufacturers, during the past
week, according to an official of the
company. The order came from an
agent of the Russian government, sta
toned at Stockholm, Sweden, and was
for immediate delivery of cars.
"Every car that Dodge Brothers
can turn out during the coming season
has been contracted for by dealers in
this country says George C. Hubbs,
Assistant General Sales Manager
Naturally we intend to satisfy the
American market, before filing foreign
orders, and are shipping our cars as
fast as completed to all quarters of the
United States. A remarkable fact con-
nected with the marketing of the new
car, is that although we have already
shipped thousands of machines, prac-
tically none of our dealers report sim
gle car in stock.
"Since the manufacture of motor
cars was commenced last fall, the force
of Dodge Brothers employees has been
increased from 1900 to over 7.60u.
Practically all manufacturing depart
ments are working on day and night
shifts to fill orders. ADV.

MASSACHUSETTS WANTS
Prisoners WORK ON ROADS
Bills Introduced in State Legislature
Provide They Be Employed on
Highways-Committee Gets Infor-
nation From Other States

Bills have been introduced into the
Massachusetts Legislature to provide
that prisoners may be employed in
large numbers upon the highways of
the State.
Last year an amendment was passed
permitting prisoners to. be used by
counties, cities and towns on the roads,
the same to be worked under the Gus
tody of the local sheriffs. The present
bills seek to broaden the scope of this
work and to place it under the super
vision of the State Highway Commits
sioner, as recommended by the Nation
al Committee on Prisons and Prison
Labor.
The people of Massachusetts have
heard through the committee Of the
success which has attended convict road
work in score of States. Information
has been afforded them as to Colorado s
wonderful roads, worth $2,500,000
and built by prisoners for less than
$50,00O; also that West Virginia is
saving over SO cents per cubic yard by
having her prisoners build roads, and
that Iowa is able to pay her prisoners
$3.50 per day for their road work.
Massachusetts never lags behind the
other States in any upward movement,
and the National Committee on Pris-
ons and Prison Labor has been assured
that this year will see the legislation
enacted which will bring her in line
with other progressive States in the
matter of convict road work.
