Safe and Sane Fourth Assured.
Mayor Archibald Macdonald is TAX
ing steps to see that Putnam again
enjoys a safe and sane celebra ton of
the Fourth. For several years past
the sale of dangerous explosives and
other devices for celebrating has been
carefully regulated as has the use of
them within the limits of the city and
the freedom from accidents that pre-
vailed has been a source of grotifca-
ton to all Rules that were laid down
for these recent Fourths will be APP
piled this year.
Within a few days notices viii be
posted giving warning against viola
ton of the laws of the state relative
TO disturbances during the night be-
fore and setting forth the penalties.
1t has never been apparent during
the safe and sane celebrations i'll this
city that the people were having a
less enjoyable time than in years when
the life of persons was being erdan-
gered every minute of the day
What the Windham County Agent Is
Doing.
Mr.. Kennedy, the Windharn County
Agent, is busy this week returning
farm Demonstration Survey records
from the town of Windharn which
were taken last fall by Mr.. keyes of
the U. S. Dept of Agriculture. which
is working in connection With the
state college at Sorrs.
These records are taken by the u
S. Dept. Of Agriculture who are work
ing with the County Agents where
thew an7n1nvpH 81
to the farmers by the County Agent
after the figures given by the farmers
are worked into shape. These records
consist of a complete record of one
years business on the farms sur veyed
by the department. The farmer gives
to the man who takes the record as
complete and accurate a set Of figures
as possible showing the amount of
business he has done size of his farm
number of cows kept, pounds of milk
produced, price received for milk, and
other products, etc.
These figures are gone over and the
expenses are subtracted from the re-
cetpts leaving the gross income. From
this is substracted interest at per
cent on the capital invested. The re-
mainder being the labor income re-
ceived by the farmer. This labor in
come is the actual cash received by
the farmer for his labor and his man
aging ability, and does not include any
part of his living which is obtained
from the farm. It is simply his cash
return for his time, labor and ability
as a manager.
When these records are taken back
to the farmer, the County Agent talks
them over with him and wherever
possible suggests means of making
the labor income larger.
The object of taking these surveys
is to stimulate an interest in t1e keep
ing of cash records which will en-
able them to known just where they
stand in their business.
