From the Rutland papers it appears
that George E. Chalmers who repre-
sented Rutland in the legislature of
1915 is a candidate for the state senate.
Mr.. Chalmers is man Of high stand
ing and ability but in the legislature he
was one of the workers in behalf Of
the Perry bill and if he goes to the SEN
ate it would seem to The Banner that
he ought to be pledged to the repeal of
that bill inasmuch as the voters of the
state have declared that they do not
want to go back to prohibition.

loving care of loyal mother. When
they reach an age where their re-
spective education should begin, the
loving mother INDUCES in long
hours of discussion concerning the
equipment of her boy or girl for the
years that lay ahead.
The fond mother wants them

insure their ability to do capably

all other affections of the heart.
She will sacrifice every comfort

different than that fed for egg pro-
duction. In feeding mature fowls
for fat.ening they should be closely
confined so that all the food will be
used in building flesh and not be
lost by too much exercise, but it is
different in feeding young fowls for
broilers or roasters, as they need
some exercise to keep up their vi
tally and avoid leg weakness.
Their feed should be fed in a deep
litter so that they must scratch for
it and get the necessary exercise;
but about a week before they are
ready for market they should be
confined and fed in the same man.
ner as mature fowls. This makes
their flesh soft and tender.
The production of Capons for the
market is a profitable practice in
poultry keeping as it creates an out
let for all young cockerels, at the
highest prices, as their flesh is very
fine grained and tender, and they
are in a constant demand by the
leading hotels, cafes and restau-
rants.
1ncubators are now used to-
very large extent by poultry keep
ers, as they are an advantage over
the setting hen in that they will
bring on the young chicks when
most desired that is, in March and
April, and the hens do not get
broody until warm weather in May
and June The earlier matches
make winter layers, and that is i'm
portant because eggs are much high
er during the winter months. The
late chicks, Matched by hens, do not
lay until the following spring when
egg prices are at the lowest tide.
The modern incubator has been 80
perfected that with careful attention
one may feel sure of getting aver
age matches from any amount of
fertile eggs it may be desired to
hatch.
The care of young chicks is very
important and the beginner must
not be discouraged if he loses most
of his first attempts, as nothing but
experience and careful study will
teach him how to get and raise the
largest percentage of his hatch.
There are 80 many good makes OF
incubators and breeders on the mar
ket that it is only matter to choose
one made by reliable firm and fol-
low closely their directions as to
the handling of it. Matching eggs
for others may be made a very
profitable line where one has a large
capacity incubator, as day old chicks
NAV be sent half way across the
country and arrive safe and sound
at their destination. Many be-
ginners prefer to start in this busl-
ness by buying these day-old chicks

site for the poultry
* house.
First: For the health
N: s: P: of the fowls.
Second: Convenience of atten-
dant, and
Third: Liability to poultry ene-
mics and vermin.
The house must be clean and dry at
all times; it should stand where it is
well drained on all sides. A light,
dry soil is best for poultry. The
house must be we'll ventilated and
built 80 as to admit as much sum
shine as possible and the roosts
must be free from draughts.
There are so many little details
in poultry keeping that one should
be very particular in the way the
house is built, the arrangement of
the equipment and the laying out Of
the yards in order to save time and
labor in attending the flock and
gathering the eggs.
After the beginner has decided
upon the particular line of poultry
business he intends to follow,
whether it be for egg production,
the rearing of young fowls for
broilers or roasters, or fancy stock
for breeding or show purposes, he
has then to select the breed best
adapted to his purpose, There is a
wide range of opinion in this matter:
some will choose one breed for egg
production and make a success,
while another will take different
breed and do equally as well. 1t is
safe to say that anyone may choose
breed that best suits his fancy,
bearing in mind that there are many
classes of the different breeds best
adapted for particular purpose.
The most important item is that of
feeding. If the main object is that
Of egg production the flock must be
fed for that particular purpose, and
when you realize that the egg pro-
ducing breeds will produce more
than four times their own weight in
eggs annually. the Importance Of
furnishing this egg machine the
necessary material to accomplish
this wonderful feat is emphasized.
Clean, fresh water must be kept
for the fowls at all times, for eggs
are composed principally OF water,
and the food must be clean and
fresh if the best eggs are desired,
for it is we'll known fact that eggs
will take the faint of what the fowls
eat. Lime must be furnished for
the making of the shell and good,
sharp grit and charcoal must he be-
fore the fowls at all times.
The breeds that are raised for
meat must be fed such food as will
produce the desired results and is
