Who Is Plumley Serving?
Enosburg, Standard.)

|
Charles A. Plumley is tax commissioner
OF the state Of Vermont, an official posi-
ton of high Importance and invo living
responsibilities and duties for the dis
charge of which the state pays goodly
salary
Mr.. Plumley is also at the present time
secretary and leading spirit of the Allen
M. Fletcher Senatorial Club with head
quarters at Mortified, which is putting
forth strenuous efforts to send Mr.. Flet-
cher to the United States Senate. Mr..
Plumley is the author of or sponsor for
the political advertising being put out in
such abundant quantity in behalf of the
Fletcher candidacy. Conspicuously DIS
played in the Fletcher advertising as sail
ing Senator Pages record in Congress is
the query, will Senator Page answer"
Whether this question is pertinent or
impertinent may be left with the party at
whom it is aimed and to whom it may be
considered of special interest.
But while questions are being asked,
here is me in which all the voters of Yer
mont are concerned: On what grounds
does State Tax Commissioner Charles A..
Plumley justify his activity as the leading
figure in Mr.. Fletcher's campaign for the
United States Senate?
Mr.. Plumley is an employee of the peo-
pie of Vermont. He is hired and paid
by them in their collective capacity. AS
state tax commissioner ne is a part of the
state government which is the collective
and visible expression of the peoples
will.
Now the state, in it's administrative Ca
pacity, is not concerned in the political
ambitions of Allen M. Fletcher any more
than it is in those of Senator Page, and
yet here is state official. one of the COM
bonent parts of the state admi nistratiou,
as the head and front of personal polit-
ical campaign and giving to it the prestige
of administration support.
Again, Mr.. Plumley is a member of the
Gates administration, and Governor Gates
himself is candidate for the Sentorial
Office. Mr.. Plumley's activities in Mr..
Fletcher's behalf, under these circum-
stances, stamps him as either disroyal to
bis chief, or giving ground for the sus-
picion that collision exists, something
which no state official, in position such
as that occupied by Mr.. Plumley has a
right to participate.
Who is Mr.. Plumley serving at the pres
ent time, the state of Vermont or Candi-
date Fletcher? And who is paying him
for his services? Will Mr.. Plumley
answer?

EARLY HATCHING PAYS BEST
Farmer Loses Much Profit on Eggs by
Not Giving Young Stock Suffi-
cient Time to Mature.

(By PROF. H. L. KEMPSTER, Univer-
sity of Missouri, College of Agricul-
ture.)
The poultry keeper who expects to
get eggs next winter must have his
chickens hatch early this spring. It re-
quires from five to seven months for
three to five pound hen to mature so
that she win lay. Then hen Of the
heavier breeds such as Rocks, Reds,
Wyandottes, etc, weighing from five
to eight pounds each require from one
to three months longer. This is based
on the assumption that the chicks are
kept growing well during the summer
months. The Missouri farmer loses
large profits from winter eggs because
he does not give his young stock suf-
f1cient time to mature before winter
sets in. This prevents his flock be-
ing productive during the winter
months.
Unless a pullet is laying In Decem-
Der 1t Is practically impossible for her
to lay much until February, according
to experiments at the Missouri agri-
cultural station. This shows the neces-
sity Of Matching early. II the hatch is
completed by May Is there remains
but seven months in which to mature
the pullets. If winter eggs are ex-
pected, the hatch should be completed
before that time. Egg records show
that early laying pullets-November
and December-are the ones that
make the high egg yields and also lay
eggs at the time of the year when
the price is the highest.
Early Matching is important, not
only from the standpoint of next years
winter egg yield but also because the
early Matched chick comes from
stronger eggs, and the chicks get a
start before the extreme hot weather
arrives. For those two reasons the
poultrykeeper should exert every en-
ergy to get off the hatch as soon as
possible.

neous method" says Doctor Schoenle-
Der. This guarantees immunity from
cholera for six years. The serum
can be obtained from the agricultural
college and any veterinarian can do
the vaccinating. The cost ranges from
20 to 80 cents for shoats up to s1.25
for heavy hogs.
The whole problem Of preventing
disease and having healthy, thrifty
hogs is. however, one of sanitation.
When the farmers learn that hogs
respond to good care as quickly as
people, and are almost as susceptible
to disease, they will take better care
OF them and win have far fewer
losses.
AT present there is hardly a vicin-
ity in Kansas where hogs are grown
to any extent. that has not some dis
ease. The same drastic measures
should be taken to free the state of
hog cholera that are used with foot
and-mouth disease, glanders, or any
other fatal stock disease.
There are scarcely any herds Of
hogs in this or any other state that
are not infected more or less with
parasites. There is much danger dur
ing the first two months Of the fall
from the feeding Of green corn, since
it has a natural tendency to lower the
vitality of growing hogs. These two
facts, coupled with cold weather and
confinement, make the contraction of
disease easy If germs are brought into
the lots"
