FARMERS ENTHUSIASTIC
For Dairy Testers Association in Frank
lin County.

st. Adams, Feb. 9.-The annual bus
mess meeting of the st. Adams Dairy
Testers association was held in the jury
room at the Franklin county courthouse
yesterday. s. J. Meigs, president Of the
association, presided. f. o. Collins, sec
rotary and treasurer, gave his report,
which showed that the association was in
a fiourishing condition.
The present tester, E. e. Smith. said
that he did not think it was possible for
him to continue work for another year.
There were several farmers present
who wanted to become members of the
association and nearly all the members
have signified their intention of remain
ing in the association. The ACCESSIBILITY
of forming new association was dis
cussed but no action taken.
The following officers were reelected
for the ensuing year: President, S. J.
Meigs; secretary and treasure, f. o. Col
Inns. The members of the board of di-
rectors are George T. Catlin and George
II. Dunsmore of st. Adams Town and
L. H. Leach of Fairfax
Dinner was served at the Park View
hotel at | o'clock. Several people who
were not members of the association
were present. T. H. Moran of Jericho
gave very interesting and instructive
talk on "The Results of the Cow Test
Association Work of the State" He also
explained about herd management.
County Agent G. L. Tiffany of this
city spoke on "Benefts To lie Derived
From a Cow Test Association" He said
that among the benefits the farmer de
rived from this work was the wedding
out of Improbable cows and that it gave
the farmer means OF placing value on
cows; it checks up the value Of a herd
bull; creates more interest in dairying
and breeding; serves as a check on un-
scrupulous buyers of dairy products:
stimulates the interest in bookkeeping; |
helps the farmer in his feeding problems; |
and raises the labor income of the farm
er because he is keeping nothing but /
profitable cows.

EXPENSIVE TO RUTLAND.
To Maintain "Bleached" Water Supply
Because Of Shortage OF Bleach.

Rutland, Feb. 9.-Thc European war
Is costing the city of Rutland a lot OF
money. IL has caused a rise OF several
hundred per cent In the cost of chloride
of lime, several tons of which are year
~ being dumped into the city water
against the will OF the people, as ex.
pressed at the last March meeting be-
cause the state board of health thinks
that bleach is necessary 10 free the
water from bugs" which might cause
disease. As the lime, like many COM
modities and medicines, has gone up in
price steadily since the opening of the
war, Rutland must stand an expense OF
several times what IL formerly paid TO
purify the water
When the bleach was first used a
few years ago il was bought at a frac-
ton OF a cent a pound. The last con-
signment obtained by Purchasing Agent
II. b. Whittier cost l4la cents a pound
and IL is said that there is every evi.
dence that the price will go still higher.
The material TO doctor the water is pur-
chased in s00'pound casks so that the
city is paying SIG for a consignment
which cost 50 when the state board Of
Hehibh HiHt isSutu itS culCI hDout int
bleach. About eighteen casks of bleach
are used in a year.
Rutland may be relieved of part OF
this heavy expense. Many cities are
using chloride gas instead of the chlo-
ride of lime as bacteria killer. Prof
j. W. Votey OF Burlington, sanitary en-.
gineer of the Vermont state board of
health, expects to meet the local board
of health in this city in few days and
he will explain the chloride gas method
of purifying the water. The gas is said
to be cheaper than the method now in
use and to be just as effective.
The gas is purchased in large tanks
which work automatically so that the
gas is being continually discharged into i
the water. After performing its mission
the gas escapes and leaves no taste in
the water.

Woman Had Distinguished Ancestry.

A friend of Mrs. Abbie A. (Fairchildl
Clark, who died at st. Adams recently
at the age of so years, has called atten.
ton to many facts of interest in con-
nection with her ancestry. She was
fourth in descent from Gershom Brad
lev and Samuel Hungerford, two of the
original grantees from Gov. Benning
Wentworth under the old New Hamp-
shire Grants of the towns of Fairfield,
Smithfeld (afterwsrd part of Fairfield
and Hungerford, afterward changed to
Shcldon.)
Her great-grandfather, Andrew Brad
ley, was large land holder and gave
what has now became the noted Brad
ley cemetery at Fairfield. Mr. Bradley
was deacon of the church of which Rev.
William Arthur, father of President
Chester A. Arthur, was pastor. She was
connected with the Barlow and Dimon
families, all of prominent old Colonial
stock from Connecticut. One, Ephraim
Bradley, was a soldier in the Colonial
war, and she had ancestors in the Rev
olution also.
Her maternal great grandmother,
Ruth Wakeman Bradley, was an aunt
of Abraham Wakeman, of New York
postmaster of the Civil war period. who
held the postoffice firmly against the
rioters of 1868.
Her mother, who before her marriage
was Caiina Wakeman Soule,, daughter
of Salmon Soule, was beautiful wom-
an, in her day, prominent in society in
her native town of Fairfield, at that
time the social center of Franklin coun-
ty.
