IN BENN|N GTON
TOMORROW
Local Dealers Reached Agreement
at Meeting Saturday Night
FEED EXPENSIVE AND COWS FEW
Agitation to Increase Price Has Been
In Progress for Some
Time.

The price of milk in Bennington
will be advanced tomorrow, October
9. from six to seven cents per quart
The dealers held a meeting Saturday
evening for the purpose OF discussing
the situation and signed an agree
ment to advance the price one cent
a quart.
All of the dealers present were
agreed that conditions made it neces-
sary for them to increase the price of
milk to their customers, but some of
them were in favor of advancing the
price from six to eight cents.

an increased retail price OF milk has
been in progress for scme time. Ac-
cording TO the statements of the milk
men there are fewer cows on the
farms in this vicinity than was the
case a few years ago and the price
for dairy feed has been steadily in
creasing.
Nearly all of the dealers were pres
ent at the meeting or were represent
ed Shadowbrook Farm, the proper
ty of Seymour Van Santyoord, was
not a party to the agreement, but it
is understood that milk from this
dairy will be sold at the same price
as by the signers.

This ambition has already cost the
Germans many thousands OF men, but
they keep on trying first in the north
then in the south, and then on the
Dvinsk front. At present their at
tacks are developing the greatest
forces in the north
South OF Dvinsk the Russians re-
port an advantage in the engage

London, Oct. 17.-The Germans
have taken the offensive south of Ri
ga and forced the Russians out of
their positions, capturing a large
number of prisoners and some guns.
On the rest OF the eastern front, the
offensive remains in the hands of
the Russians, who are attacking west
of Dvinsk, in the center, and TO the
south of the Pripet river.
On the whole it appears to observ-
ers here as if the Germans were salts
fed merely to hold their present line,
except in the north where they have
made repeated attempts to take
Dvinsk. This would mean the fall Of
Riga and would compel the Russians
to withdraw behind the Dvina river.
This ambition has already cost the
Germans many thousands OF men, but
they keep on trying first in the
north. then in the south and then on
the Dvinsk front. At present their
attacks are developing the greatest
force in the north.
There is somewhat Of lull in

SETTING OUT ROSE BUSHES
Points to Be Remembered by Those
Who Are Fond of the Fragrant
Flower.

All roses are heavy feeders and rel
quire rich, moist soil. A clay soil, IN
well enriched and having perfect
drainage, is ideal. Pruning should be
carefully done, preferably in the
spring. All weak growth should be-
cut out and the balance well cut back.
The flowers of almost all roses being
borne on the new wood, the busheSl
should be cut back half or more OF
their growth.
In the majority of cases, ON
their owns roots will prove more satis-
factory than budded stock. On own
rooted stock, the suckers or shoots
from below the surface Of the soil
will be of the same kind, whereas with
budded roses there is danger Of the
stock starting into growth and, not
being discovered, and finally killing
out the weaker growth. Still, if thei
plants are set deep enough to pre-
vent adventitious buds of the stock
from starting, there is no question
that finer roses may be grown than.
from plants on their own roots.
In setting out the rooted bushes, do
not crowd the roots into a small space,
but have the roots well spread out
and the ground well frmed around
them.

The two most important and most
Intimately associated products Of In
diana are corn and hogs. A French
statistician with a newly-sharpened
pencil and sufficient leisure once fig
ured out that the product of a single
SOW with only six young at a time will
amount in ten generations to about
$500, 900. OF course, he left hog chol-
era and other diseases out of the cal
culation. The Chinese claim to have
bred and domesticated the pig 1900
years before the Christian era. The
ancient Egyptians knew the hog and
this animal is depicted on their
uments. The use of the meat of the
hog was prohibited by the Jews as 1t
was considered that In hot countries
1t produced skin diseases. The Mos
lens under Mohammedan law are al
so prohibited from using pork. The
hog was unknown in America until in
troduced from Europe by the early
navigators. In the South American
forests are great droves of wild hogs
the descendants of hogs brought over
by the Spaniards. When 1t is taken
into account that the ordinary female
swine will produce twice every year
and usually eight to twelve at a birth
one cannot help but wonder that the
market price of pork should be as
great as it is.
