ESTIMATING VAnUE OF CALF
Young Animal Is Worth Practically
Nothing Until Labor and Capital
Have Been Invested.

In estimating the gross product of a
COW II is customary to credit her with
one calf a year valued at IS to So.
A little clear thinking will reveal the
fact that no such amount can proper
ly be allowed the COW as producer Of
wealth. The COW should be credited
only with the value of her calf three
days after birth. After that the calf
is not longer the creation of the dams
internal economy, but the product of
feed that has market value. After
that time the cows milk can be sold
for cash in some form of dairy prod
uct. The average cost of production
Of milk in the United States is close
to five cents a quart. A husky calf
will consume at least two gallons of

METHOD FOR DRYING UP cow
No Specific Rule for Such Work.
Judgment and Experience Of
Attendant Is Required.

A COW should be dried off for six
weeks before calving. 1t may take
two weeks to dry her off, that depend
ing upon the persistency of milk flow.
To dry off COW the rich feed has
to be removed and the COW allowed
to pasture short grass or eat hay.
Some milk is left in the quarters at
each milking at first; then a milking
is omitted; then the milking is done
every other day, and afterward only
a little milk is taken, as seen to be
necessary. There is no specific rule
for such work, and ii requires the best
judgment and experience of the at
tendant.

milk a day to grow into $40 veal at
one month.
That it costs more to veal a calf
than it will ordinarily bring is bad
enough in itself and deserves deliber-
alton on the part Of the farmer who
may not have given the matter of cost
systems much thought, says writer
in an exchange. The point is that the
calf is worth practically nothing until
labor and capital have been put into
him.
II anyone doubts this statement let
him try TO sell an ordinary calf when
it is three days old and see what it
will bring. 1t takes time and effort
and money to bring a calf to the point
where it is productive. It's value at
birth is potential rather than actual.
II would be as reasonable to credit
the COW with a yearling worth $40 as
a month-old calf worth $40.
A wellbred, registered calf is worth
a goodly sum at birth because the
purchaser can feed it expensive milk,
grain and hay and still make a profit
on its ultimate value. An ordinary
calf would eat so much before it be-
came productive that only a thought
less person would pay anything for it
at the beginning of its career.
Hence a COW may properly be cred
tied with the actual selling value Of
her calf before any money is invested
in its development.

GERMAN FIRE WITHHELD
Feared TO Hit Own Aeroplanes in AL

BASLE, March 21.-So numerous and
close together were the fleet of allied
aerop!anes and their German opponents

More than so machines fought over
the town, the allied machines dropping
bombs on the Notifications while they
fought off the hostile aeroplanes. 1t Is
reported that five German and three

their pilots dying instantly. One
French pilot deliberately drove his

ing it to the ground in flames.

watched the conflict from hills and

COURT FINDS WOOD
GUILTY OF LARCENY
VIII Work Out Fine of S100 Besides
Serving Four Months Sentence,
Total of About II Months.

Henry L. Wood, on trial yesterday
afternoon in the municipal court be-
fore Judge Frank E. Barber for the
larceny of $29 from Mrs. William j.
Anderson, was found guilty late yes
terday afternoon by Judge Barber and
ordered committed to the house of cor
rection at Rutland for from four to
six months and to pay fine of 800
and costs of $50. No appeal was taken
from the sentence of the court and
Wood was taken to Rutland this after
noon leaving here at 2 O'Clock. Wood
win have 800 days to serve in work
ing out his fine and costs in addition
to the minimum sentence of four
months.
Wood IS defense was a carefully told
story intended to lay the blame for
the missing money entirely on his
friend, Francis Murray, who came from
| Hartford, Conn, to testify against
/ Wood. He claimed that Murray did
not steal the money, but that it was
given or loaned to him by Mrs. Ander-
/ son.
He told with great detail of events
+ that took place in the building in
which are the tenements occupied by
/ the Anderson and Wood families. Muir
ray had been a guest in the Wood
i
Wood to Mrs. Anderson a few days be-
fore the money was missed.
! Mrs. Anderson and Murray denied
/ Woods story so far as it concerned
events in the house and Murray claimed
that Wood had the money when they
left town and paid the travelling ex
penses to Worcester. He charged that
when he Murray was asleep Wood
stole his overcoat and what money he
had and left him stranded. Wood met
this by claiming that Murray, while
drunk, sold his own overcoat and gave
some of the proceeds to Wood.
Wood was arrested Saturday by
Sheriff G. E. Mann in Bristol, Conn.
where he was working in a lunch room
He was located by means OF circula
letters sent out by the local authori
ties. He consented to return to Brat
/ tleboro without requisition papers ant
was brought back here that night
His trial was postponed until yester
day afternoon TO give Attorney Harri
b. Chase, assigned by the court to dc
fend MIN, time to consult with tn
. prisoner. State IS Attorney o. Z
Hughes was the prosecuting officer.

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE
HELD ANNUAL MEETING
Report of Superintendent Full of Good
Cheer, Despite Defeat in
Referendum Vote
Especial to The Reformer. }

BURLINGTON, March 21.-The an.
nual meeting OF the Vermont Anti
Saloon league was held at headquarters
here yesterday with large attendance
of the % members of the board of
trustees.
The feature of the meeting was the
annual report of Superintendent Rever-
end Clifford II. Smith, who has "made
good'', even if he didn't win out in
the recent referendum fight. Mr.. Smith
in his report said in part: 1.-The league
has had a great year, a year of
gratifying financial support, of har-
monious cooperation with other temper
ance organizations in the state, OF
varied and unusual activities and of q
final smashing defeat from which
nevertheless, some crumbs of comfort
may be extracted. Like St. Paul We
are 'cast down but not in despair.
The total membership on the board 'oi
trustees is 81. Five have left Tho
state, Rev. Z. p. Stevens of Rutland
Rev. G. H. Holt of Barre, Rev. f. i
| Phillips of ct. Johnsbury, III. o. Wheel
er and Rev. II. A. Durfee of Burling
ton. The cash receipts during the yea
were s5,621.53, about $500 less thar
during the previous year. The expen
ditures We're S5,507, about $170 les
than the previous year. The superin
tendents and assistants made rs ad
dresses to 1900 people.
Mr. Smith concluded by stating tha
evidently Vermont is still against tn
saloon, for the majority against licens
is nearly if not quite as large as in tn
year before.
