individual. Most Of these were able to
help themselves to some extent which
can better be encouraged OF the farm
than on ii. The records Of this same
year indicate a cost of over two thou
sand dollars to operate the farm and
allowing 5 per cent on the money in
vested in the farm and equipment add
ing $500 more to the cost of supporting
persons one DE- which has earned his
living at the farm leaving this out of
argument entirely, it costs 1925 apiece
to support the paupers at the farm
Something out of this appropriation
went for improvements it is understood.
However, this would not more than Off
set the depreciation of the plant and not
IS much as we have not reckoned the
depreciation which is not less than per
cent. making another $500 expense. Any
one knows that 5 per cent. depreciation
of farm property is a low rate. Since
the burning of the old almshouse one
of the inmates has died, leaving now
three that might be induced to stay at
the farm if the town should see mt to
erect a modern set of buildings. Now
when town affairs are not run on strictly
business methods, every taxpayer in that
town suffers in consequence. Conse-
Quently it might be we'll to take casual
observance of what we do. The valua-
ton on farm property is certainly high
enough for the income derived from
farms, which is the only just gay to
levy taxes. The tax rate was Oh mills
for the year referred to, and that was
not sufficient TO meet the expenses. They
have been as high as 27.s5 in some pre-
vous years. According to the proposed
pisa of rebuilding it is proposed that the
town borrow $1,000 or $4,000 in addition to
the $1,000 they realized from insurance
The interest on the minimum to raise
would be $+0 year at per cent. The
additional expense Of operating this mod
ern plant would be considerable, but we
will leave this item out. But the addi-
tional depreciation we cannot ig-
nore With 5000 added to the orig
inal plant you can readily see we would
have invested $4,000 to $4,000. Call it s15,-
oCo, and at per cent. depreciation with
these additions to the previous years
records we have a grand total of $500
year to meet. We have now in sight
three persons available to support on the
farm. 1t looks as though the added cost
would be $1,000 apiece or practically twice
what it would cost to support good
sized family in Vassalboro. The poor
and helpless of any town should not be
denied the necessities Of life but should
the farmer and average 1aboring man be
taxed to his limit to maintain few in
luxury who may have squandered their
substance or met with misfortune? Con-
sidering the condition of the roads and
the need of more school funds, wouldn't
it sound better to raise money for those
purposes rather than the other? To
those who do not own real estate but
rent houses or farms, do not deceive
yourselves that the other fellow pays the
taxes. The consumer pays his share.
You should consider the spending of the
public money as you would your own.

Feeding Roots to Cattle.

American farmers DO not appreciate
the value that lies in roots as feed for
the live stock. The farmers of France,
Germany, Belgium, and England think
almost as much Of their supply OF beets,
carrots, and turnips, as of their mows OF
hay and straw. In our experience with
live stock We have come to believe
that roots should play an important part
in the winter rations, To certain ex-
tent corn ensilage takes the place Of
mangels and turnips, nevertheless the
animals appreciate change once in q
while. This is especially true of breed
ing females as the spring approaches.
For this reason It is a good plan to save
the roots for later feeding, depending
upon ensilage for the early part of the
winter.
Roots are appetizers and bowel regu-
lators, rather than direct milk produc-
ers. They keep the cows in condition
to assimilste the grain and roughage
and prevent constipation. Fed judi
ciously they also serve the same purpose
with sheep, horses, young stock, and
hogs. do not believe in feeding too
many roots in the coldest weather, as
hey contain large proportion Of water
consequently good deal of the natural
heat Of the body is used up. prefer to
bring them from the pit or cellar, where
they are stored, and keep them in a room
where the temperature is considerably
above the freezing point for twenty-fouI
hours or more. The stock will appre.
ciate them much more IL they are chang
cd from the icy cold state in which they
come from the storage rooms. We US
ually feed roots in the morning, except
IN mild weather when they are taken
from the cellar in the morning and fed
at noon. In this case We try to warm
them several degrees before feeding

Suggestions for Corn Growing.

I. Improve your corn by planting
some of the choicest ears together from
which to select the seed for the follow
ing year. While you are sorting, test,
ing, shelling, etc, be constantly looking
for exceptionally good ears. Plant
these ears on one side of the field, OF
better, in a separate plot.
2. Test at least six kernels from
every ear of seed corn and discard the
dead, weak and moldy ears. This can
be done in February or March when 9th
or farm work is not urgent.
8. Do not grow corn year after year
on the same land. Use carefully plan
ned rotations. Include legumes in the
rotation and be sure there is enough
lime to grow them.
4. Test the soil to determine which
are the most economical and profitable
fertilizers to use. The agricultural col
legs will assist anyone who desires iC
| lay out field tests to find out what biz
soil needs.
5. Cultivate corn not over or
inches deep and often enough to keep
down the weeds and maintain q loose
soil mulch.
q. In the fall 60 into the field and Sc
lect well, l,mstured ears from vigorous
stalks. Do not select ears from weak
stalks nor from stalks that are found
growing in hills beside barren stalks,
nor from one-stalk hills.
Z. Save at least twice as many ears as
required for next seasons planting.
Choose cylindrical, well-shaped ears,
