THE VT. FARMERS LIVING

Washington, D, G., Jan. ia sur
vey Of 80 farms in the dairying dis
tiets Of Vermont has recently been
completed by the U. S. Department Of
Agriculture, in order to ascertain
how much the average farm contrib
uted TO the family's living in the form
of products grown and consumed di-
rectly on the farm. There are two
ways of obtaining the necessities OF
life: raising them ones self and
raising something else to sell for
money to buy them with. Successful
farming, say the experts, depends up
on the proper combination Of the two
methods.
The Investigators found that in the
area studied in Vermont the cost OF
board and lodging on the farm for
each individual was on an average
STAT year. This sum included food
fuel, oil, house rent, and house labor
the items being as follows;

Sample Package of Forest Trees Fur
nished by Vermont Forestry
Department

Although several hundred land own
ers have, during the past few years,
awaited themselves of the Forestry De-
partment's advice, and have planted
several million trees special attempt
is to be made this year to interest
wider range of owners. To do this
the State Forester is prepared to send
sample package containing 25O three
year transplants to anyone wishing to
try forest planting on small scale.
These packages will be sent by parcel
post, postage prepaid to any point in
the State. The prospective planter
may choose between white pine and
Norway spruce. No mixed lots can be
sent at the special price for which the
package is offered, namely $500.
Already the prospects for planting
in the coming spring are particularly
encouraging, as the State Forester has
received orders for $4,000 trees,
which is considerably in excess of the
orders received, at this season, in any
previous year. Among the larger Or
ders received to date are those OF Dr.
VIM. S. Stevens, who will plant 3d.
600 trees on his Enosburg lands, thus
bringing his total paintings up to
263, 900; and W. C. Porter, of Sharon,
who will add $4,000 pines to his ex-
tensive planting of last year.

Compared with the figures obtain
ed by similar surveys Of areas in New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin,
Kansas, Iowa, North Carolina, Georg-
ia, and Texas, made in the course OF
the investigation, this is so small that
it apparently implies low standard
of living. The average cost OF main
tenance per person for all the areas
studied was $176-a notable increase
over the Vermont figures of STAT. The
difference, agricultural authorities
say, is largely to be accounted for by
the fact that comparatively little was
raised on the Vermont farms for
home consumption, much of what the
family used had to be bought and in
consequence it used as little as pos
sible.
Food is the great factor in the cost
of maintaining life. Of this the av-
erage family in the Vermont area
consumed each year $361.6O OF which
53.2 per cent came directly from the
farm. The corresponding averages
for all the areas were $412.O9 and %
per cent respectively. In the Georgia
area the averages were $4SO.45 and
1873. From these figures it would ap-
near that if the farm family is to live
well it must raise of what it consumes

from to "a inches in diameter, and the
whole vicious thing Is as much or more
in circumference than a mans wrist.
The barbs are as sharp as a needle, and
are so turned that they point in every
direction at spaces of every few inches.
They are well calculated to stop anything
from foot soldier to an automobile and
work fearful havoc with cavalry horses.
To add to its terrors, IL is often charged
with electricity. Many soldiers who
have attempted to cut II have been cleo
trocuted While the German automobiles
are equipped with special cutters that
look like enormous scythes, they do not

NORRtSTOwN, Pa, March 22-The
fight against the Adam scheidt Brewing
Company by tho No-license League OF
MONTGOMERY County, which began this
morning before Judges Swartz and Mil
Ter in tho License Court. developed little
evidence tending to show that the com
pany was sharing in the profits OF retail
licensed hotels and saloons in tho county.
Tho "dry" forces, represented by
George Wanger and Francis r Taylor,
president of the No-bicense League, re-
ceived n setback when 1t was found that
eight hotelkeepers, subpoenaed by the
"drys" had failed to appear. The de-
tailed charges against the brewing COM
pany were therefore temporarily set aside
and Herbert Stroud, treasurer OF the
company, was called.
stroud made emphatic denial that the
company received any Illegal income from
retail licensed houses He admitted that
the company had several hundred thou
sand dollars invested in mortgages and
Judgment notes against saloons.
lie said the company expected the sn-
loonteepers who received loans from It to
patronize the company, but that there
was no agreement. either verbal or writ
ten, by which the company forced the
saloons to deal with IL exclusively.
Adam Scheidt, president and founder Of
the brewing company testified that he
personally supervised the negotiations of
the company with hotel and saloon
keepers. lie read the individual cases re-
ferred to from the bill of particulars and
explained how It happened that the COM
pany was constrained to take an interest

the charge that his company was recelv-
ing Illegal profits.
lie said it had happened that former
customer had stopped dealing with the
company and that the loan was not

serted that zerlck had them so long that
he forgot this fact The men had nu-
merous arguments. which ended in the
arrest of Bucknopeck. He claimed that
he didn't steal the pigeons and declared
that they flew into his yard. Then he
simply let them stay there. as he didn't
believe in being cruel to birds.
To prove that he was a peaceabIe man,
Bucknopeck summoned three little Polish
girls to the Frankford police station to
tell Magistrate Borie all about his life.
But as the girls couldn't talk English
and gesticulated excitedly, the Judge
couldn't tell whether they were commend
ing or denouncing the prisoner. Finally
he explained to Bucknopeck that his llfe's
history was not relevant to the case at
hand and held him in $500 bail.
But Bucknopeck declares that "all is
not over yet and there win be some more
which won't add TO the fame OF his ac-
cuser."
