WINTER DAIRYING
DONE AT PROFIT
Significant Facts Revealed by Records
of Cow Testing Association in
Northwestern States.

When asked why they preferred to
have all their cows freshcn in the
spring, a number of farmers in a north
western state said positively that win
ter dairying did not pay in that sec
ton. The agent of the cow-testing asso-
citation, therefore, investigated a num-
Der of farms to determine whether it
was the best practice in that region to
have COWS freshen in the spring be
cause there is then plenty of grass, and
grass is 4 cheap feed. - He fonnd that
the spring freshened COWS gave milk
for time while the pasture was good,
but as hot weather and flies came on,
the flow gradually decreased until by
fall they usually were dry. AS the own
ers thought it did not pay to feed a
dry cow, the COWS were allowed to
browse around all the fall, picking NJ
what feed they could, and in ma1y
eases they were forced to 'rustle
around the straw pile all winter. As q
result, in the spring many cows emerged
with ribs showing and were consider
ably weakened by the time they fresh
encd. They therefore got poor STAR
in the season, and in many eases then

Telephone Company Seeks to Raise

RUTLAND, August 10. = The New
England Telephone and Telegraph com
.pany spent $4,000 in improving their
equipment in Vermont to meet the de-
mands of the people for better service.
and now they want authority to issue
additional bonds in order to paw for the
work. A hearing on a petition for this
flght was held before the Vermont pub
lie service commission here with Mat
Is. Jones of Boston, general counsel, ap.
pearlng for the telephone interests and
state s Attorney G. v Poulin for the
state OF Vermont. The company pro-
poses to raise the money required by
sale OF lO9O shares of stock The com
mission did not render any decision in
the matter but there was no objection
raised and 1T is generally expected that
tine petition will be granted.
| Chairman r. c. Bacon and his asso-
GATES also held a hearing of the
Hortonia Power company, which is mn.
dertaking an immense water power de-
Velopment in Addison county and else
where IN Vermont, for the right to
spend a greater amount of money in
making improvements than was speci-
ned IN a former order by the commits
sion. +. w. Lawrence of Rutland was
counsel for the company and Mr.. Poulin
represented the state.

TIPPING Is ANCIENT HABIT
Custom Dates Back to 1875 and Was
Subject of Much Criticism Even
at That Early Time.

II the efforts that are now being
made by the London Hairdressers' as
ISOLATION for the abolition of tipping
meet with success, there will be much
jubilation among the many long-suffer-
ing victims of the system, and no doubt
an equal amount of regret among those
who have profited by its continuance
says the Dundee Advertiser.
The habit of giving gratuities would
appear to be a very old one, for as far
back as 1885 it prevailed At that date
we find a worthy man bitterly com
planning of the tips expected by all
and sundry when putting up a horse
at an inn. Over and above the ordi
nary bill he must give a shilling tC
the waiter, to the chambermaid six
pence, to the hostler sixpence, and six
pence to the bootjack, making two
shillings and sixpence in all. The next
morning at breakfast 1t was necessary
to give sixpence between the waiter
and the hostler. That was for one
nights stay only. But If the traveller
merely put up for refreshment, be
sides paying a boy to mind the horses
the hostler expected threepence, at din
ner the waiter Looked for sixpence and
the hostler again made threepence; al
tea, waiter and hostler shared sixpence
thus the oldtime traveller gave away
two shillings and sixpence a day In
tips. which, added to the two shillings
and sixpence overnight, made a tota
OF five shillings q day,

milk records the following year were
still lower. 1t was not surprising, the
agent points out, that the average COW,
so mishandled, could produce only about
100 pounds of butter fat a year.
Many so-called scrub COWS, the agent
points out, if freshened in the fall and
given the right kind of feed and treat
ment during the winter before coming
on grass for the latter part of their
lactation period would prove to be
money makers. This opinion seems to
he snpportpd fully by the records of
the cow-testing association in the same
General locality. These records show
that the average farm COW that fresh
ems in the fall not only produces more
milk and fat. but also is more profitable
to keep. In one county many COWS which
freshenel in the fall won a place on
the association s honor list for January
and continued to produce heavily dur.
ing the winter. When grass came in the
spring these same cows picked up THEN
naturally waning milk flow and finished
iup with a good yearly production be
| fore going dry late in summer What
is still more important, however, from
] the profit point of view. is that the fall
freshened cows produced the larger par
of their records while milk prices wer,
best. With the common idea tina
I'' grass is a cheap feed, y therefore
this agent would couple the fact tina
butter fat is usually cheap at tn
same time
The highest January record of thi
association was made by cow whicl
produced l,730 pounds of milk, or ar
IproXimatelv 200 gallons, 81 per cen

test, or 81 pounds of butter fat. Her
milk, however, was sold on a city milk
route and brought 20 cents a gallon.
or approximately $40 for the month.
On the other hand, if the owner had
he still would have received 1920. AS
it costs him $j.37 to feed the COW, his
profit on butterfat basis would have
been S13S3
On this farm the COWS get practically
all the alfalfa hay and corn silage that
they will eat up clean, and in addition
a grain mixture of equal parts of rolled
oats, bran, and shorts. Each of the
heavier producers gets about ten pounds
Of this mixture daily. In addition to
being well fed, the COWS stand com
! fortably sheltered in a warm barn most
of the time and have access to plenty
of good water
| During the month six COWS in this
herd averaged 54.S pounds Of butter
| fat, worth more than SIG, while the
feed cost was approximately $5.3i
apiece. The records kept by the COW
tester gave the dairyman exact know
! ledge of the cost of feed and produc
ton in the ease of each animal, ant
| thus enabled him to Gull out ''board
ets' and regulate his feed in proper
ton to the milk production of eacl
COW. The association record for tn
farmer, however, seemed to establish
the fact that, in the region mentioned
winter dairying can be made to pay.

Let's read the law, Senator Page, regarding
the receiving of commission by bank official:

Let's read the law, Senator Page, regarding
the receiving of commission by bank official:
mo officer, trustee director employee of
bank shall receive any fee, present benefit or COM
mission directly or indirectly, from borrower
applicant for a loan or from anyone negotiating
curtes at the institution or company of which he is
an officer trustee, director employee; shall
he receive any Fee present, benefit or commission,
directly indirectly, for signing with another
accommodation maker, surety or endorser, or for
loan made or securities bought and sold by such IN
may derive in common with other depositors stock
holders, and the compensation allowed by such in
stituOn or company for services and expenses. =
Section 26, Act 158 Laws of Vermont, 1910
Wereyou ignorant of the law, Senator Page?
Is it not true that when you paid the di
rectors of your bank $1,000 to $4,000 year out
of your pocket for their Endorsement on paper
that you were violating the law, Senator Page?
Quoting from Bank Commissioner Williams
statement of Senator Pages banking methods:
Tascertained that two of the directors of the bank
had guaranteed the amount of these out-of-state
loans under arrangement with Senator Page by
which he paid them from his own pocket a commits
sion for their guarantees and he insisted that was
perfectly proper thing to do; that made the loans
Vermont loans, and that the bank had right under
those circumstances to advertise that all of its In
vestments made in Vermont either upon real
estate loans or with two good Vermont names
insisted that under the law the directors had no
right to guarantee such loans in such amounts and
that the practice must be stopped
Have you not in your reply to Mr.. Williams
admitted this charge made against you, Sena-
tor Page?
The following is taken from Mr.. Williams
expose of Senator Page and his banking methods.
Il found that the Lamoile County Savings Bank
and Trust company had been investing in real estate
mortgages outside Vermont for several years, the
amount at that time being something over one quar-
ter of million dollars and was advertising under
the slogan, All in Vermont insisted that under
the law the directors had right to guarantee such
loans in such amounts and that the practice must
be stopped, both guaranteeing the loans by the

HIS ADMISSION:

directors and to the form of the banks advertise
ments; that the other directors whose Indebtedness
excessive must reduce it to the legal limit and
was assured that should have for criticism
in those matters in the future
Is there anything wrong in the above
statement, Senator Page? If so will you make
a straight denial?
Did your directors at your request and for
the consideration paid by you indorse loans in
excess of $4,000? In so doing did you violate
the law, Senator Page?
The following section is taken from the bank
ing law of Vermont:
mo loan shall be made to an officer director or
employee of any trust company without the written
consent of majority of the directors; and such loan
shall not at any time directly indirectly, ex-
coed five per cent of the capital stock actually paid
in, but the discount of bona fde bills of exchange
drawn against existing values, and the discount of
commercial or business paper actually owned by such
director, officer director officer employee nego
tating the same to an amount not exceeding ten
thousand dollars or loan upon pledge of any of
the securities which legal investments and sub
ject to the restrictions thereof to amount not
ceeding the same sum, shall not be prohibited by
this section. No loan shall be made by such corpor-
alton upon its stock collateral" -Section II
Act number 158, Laws of Vermont, 1910.
In the banking business twenty-five years,
and will you say you are not familiar with this
law, Senator Page?
Senator Page in his advertisement says: But the
time arrived in October, 1914 when the board of
directors following Mr.. Williams advice, decided
to open the banks doors to out ofstate loans. re-
uctantly yielded to this the condition that the
bank should complete quarter of century with
out oaning dollar of paper that was not based
either a Vermont security or irst-cass Vermont
name.''
Do you intend to state, Senator Page, that
your bank did not make out-of-state loans before
October, 1914 :?
On November 13, 1919, Mr.. Williams wrote
the vice president of the Lamoille County Saw
ngs Bank and Trust company as follows:
"You will remember that you very frankly told
me that you had Overstepped the law i'm the matter
of endorsements and guarantees of loans
and while you did not, think, fully admit it, the
result of your statement induced me to think that
officers of the bank had been receiving what in law
would amount to commission for placing IOans
although your method was such possibly to avoid
that charge"
How do you reconcile your statement of
not having made out -Of-the-state loans until
October, 1914, Senator Page?

LETTER TO THE TRIBUNE
The following was semitic Tribune
several weeks ago, but was not used:
Does the Tribune know how dis
gusted and dissatisfied the workers
of this country really are?
It's not, among organized workers
alone. Their organized state is
merely a safety valve, an outlet for
long tolerated abuses. But think Of
the millions of unorganized, for
whom there is no such outlet, each
individual suffering alone, his mind
being poisoned by constant harbor-
ing Of thoughts Of his helpless con-
dition.
-. Does the Tribune and the rest of
the press of this country think edi-
torial spoutings will save grave stu
atoms like we have confronting us?
The press could aid, but it hasn't
the moral courage to attack big bust
ness with shafts OF. truth. =
The business Office of a newspaper
has taught editors the only one thing
they moW-that shafts Of truth
aimed at business advertisers are al
ways boomerangs and in their re-
turn they hit pocketbooks right
along the line.
The workers havethe measure of
every editorial writer in this .coun-
try, and they can advocate no new
laws they will not be suspicious of,
and with good reason.

being stung, but just try to wise you
up a bit, for in your egotism you still
believe we fall for your bunk. But
