BEHIND
THE "HERD LAW'

When the farmer wants anything
he has sense enough to ask for it
and knows where to go and make
himself heard. He is net child or
in need of city guardian.
Fortunately fer him at this particu-
lar moment that he has behind him
organization and cooperation. He
has his Grange, an institution that
has had an educational influence up
ON the whole nation and lie has his
livestock associations, local. state and
nationel. In 81 ort, the farmer is or
ganized and prepared to take care of
himself and keep confidence work
ers at arms length.
Has the farmer as an Individual
being peddled about the city for sig
naaures? Have the farmers associa
tions gone behind this movement for
a change in the law? Has anyone
with any claim to represent the small
livestock man or the big farmer
sought the herd law?"
On the contrary, every responsible
organization having to do with the
tillirg of the ground has gene in op-
position TO it and denounced it as a
darger and snaIe and an adroit
scheme Of blacknail and an incentive
to litigation.
This measure if it became a law
would make grazing on the public do
main all but impossible and jeopardize
the livestock industry of the state.
1t would keep farming communities in
strife and enmity tie year round. 1t
would operate against the small own
er of stock as we'll as the large own
er. In many parts of Colorado its en-
actment would depreciate the value
Of farm lands from % to so per cent.
1t would put a damper on settlement
and be a wire fence ENHANCEMENT
to the homeseeker coming to the
state.
The people behind this vicious
measure have no interest in farming
or farmer, except it be in what can
be made out of the game OF playing
the farmer for a sucker" The influ
ences behind this measure have new
er spent money on petitions except
for some selfish purpose. They are
not urging this measure for the pub
lie good. There is sinister motive
behind it. No citizen SHOULD put his
name to the petitions, for by SO do
ing he would be giving hostage to
blackmail. If the farmers wanted
such a law they would sign the petit
tions; as it is. the cities are being
depended upon to give the names re-
quired to get the scheme upon the
ballot.
A word to the wise should be suf
ficient.-Rocky Mountain News.

GROUND FEED GAINING FAVOR
For Young Animals and Stock Ad-
vanced in Years, With Poor Teeth,
Soft Food Is 2elished.

Is it advisable to grind feed for
stock? great many farmers have
settled this point for themselves, butt
there are also many who are in doubt.
In our own experience, says a writer
we have concluded that for young
stock, and for animals advanced in
years to that point when their teeth
are failing, ground feed is the best
1t is not infreQuently that animals
with good teeth eat SO fast that no.
small amount of grain passes into the
stomach without being broken, conse-
quently but little of the food elements
contained in such broken grain is abb.

II ground feed is fed in the dry state,
1t cannot be eaten faster than the sa-
Iva will moisten it, and is therefore
more readily digested. Sometimes.
owing to the pressure of a particular
Job of work, horses can only be- al.
lowed short time to eat their morn

we feed ground feed that has been
moistened at the rate of pint of wa.

Will be able to eat twice the Quantity
IN a given time than if fed dry. or
course, no one would doubt the wisdom
OF feeding ground feed to cows in

Listening In

Down in New York City the folks are
very much surprised and alarmed to
learn that conversations of a private
nature over the telephone wire are being
heard and recorded by eavesdroppers.
There is nothing particularly new about
this. especially up here in Vermont
where, as rule, the wires are of the
party" class. Anybody on the same
wire with an interest in their neighbours
businessman most people are interested
in their neighbours affairs, because they
are human-anybody, we say, can cut
in and learn what is going on and is in
no danger of being indicted for the
offense, if ofense it is. New York is
evidently unduly excited over listening
in" A person who reveals private
affairs of large Importance over tele =
phone does so at his own risk.
The person who writes letter and
cautions the person to whom it is ad-
dressed to burn it when read" is as
careless as the person who talks his per-
sonal affairs over the telephone and then
wonders why everybody knows all
about it. All the same it is not just
right to pull down the receiver every
time the phone rings-even if it is on
your line.

BREAKING UP A BROODY HEN
Farmers Are Urged Not to indulge in
Cruel Practice of Ducking-
Simple Plan Outlined.

To break up broody hen, do not
indulge in the cruel habit of ducking
it in water. Here is a simple and civil
liked method for breaking up a broody
hem
when hen becomes broody let her
sit for a few days in order to give her
system time to recuperate and at the
same time making it easier to get her
out of the habit when she is once taken
in hand for treatment. After she has.
had her few days stay on the nest put
her in an airy and roomy coop, the
bottom of which is made of strips,
with plenty Of air space so as to per-
init ample circulation. Suspend this
coop in the air, thus permitting plenty
of fresh air from the bottom. Feed
lightly, but supply with fresh water.
The hen knows only too we'll that she
must have warmth from below in or
der to hatch anything, and she will
soon realize that her case is hopeless
and give it up as bad job"

YOU NEED A tonic
Hoods Sarsaparilla, as Spring
Medicine, is the Best.

Spring sickness comes in some
degree to every man, woman and
child in our climate. It is that run
down condition Of the system that
results from impure, impoverished,

loss of appetite and that tired feel

form of eruption.
The best way to treat spring sick
ness is to take Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Ask your druggist for this old reli-
able family medicine. 1t purifes,
enriches and revitalizes the blood.
1t is an all-the-year-round alter
alive and tonic, and is absolutely
the best Spring medicine.
Get your blood in good condition
at once-now. Delay may be dan
gerous. Be sure to get Hood s Sar-
saparilla, nothing else can take its

The Montpelier Convention

The Republican convention at Mont
pelier last Friday was one of the old
time gatherings, in point of numbers and
enthuriasm, aud showed conclusively
that the G. o. P. is very much alive in
Vermont as well as elsewhere. The dele
gates chosen to represent the state at
the Chicago convention are strong men
and will be something more than ciphers
at that great gathering
That the state is strongly for Hughes
the adoption of the following resolution
strongly affirms:-
"The Republican state convention of
Vermont indorses and affirms the spoken
word of the Republican voters of the
state in favor of Charles E. Hughes for
the presidential nomination. We believe
that his unblemished record, bis wide ex-
perence, his forceful character and his
great intellect combine to make him the
master hand to navigate the ship of state
cross the uncharted shoals which are
ahead. We urge that the delegates elect.
ed by this convention by their personal
efforts and by their votes, support him
with the full strength of the state"
Ex-Lieut-Gov. Howe was most ex-
cellent presiding officer, and besides his
splendid speech, brief and to the point,
he handled the business part of the gath
ering::in splendid parliamentary style.
Altogether, it was great convention,
and when it is taken in mind that it was
not gathering for the selection of state
officers, but simply to select delegates to
a national convention, it shows that Re-
publicanism in Vermont is as solid as the |
rock of Gibralter.

ORCHARD GRASS FOR GRAZING
Coarse-Growine, Bunchy Plants Fur.
nish Good Feed in Early Spring
II Prevents Erosion.

Orchard grass is coarse-growing,
bunchy grass that furnishes good
grazing in early spring and late fall
weather. 1t will endure considerable
rough treatment without injury and
should be kept closely grazed for the
best results.
No other grass will stand more
shade, md it is the one most often
recommended for woodland pastures.
1t never does well on light, sandy
soils. On wet lands and heavy CLAWS
it is an excellent grass to mix with
redtop. From 20 to 80 pounds of seed
to the acre will give a full stand.
Half as much will be sufficient for
pasture mixtures. 1t should be seeded
in the fall. 1t is one of the best
grasses to sow in gullies, to prevent
further erosion.
