with the pre-war paralysis of our in
dustries, may be called a prosperous
one, but the outlook for the farmers
is anything but cheerful.
ITO begin with, the British author
tiles placed apples on their list of
luxuries, the importation of which, by
the United Kingdom, is banned. My
district is a large apple-producing
section, and before the publication of
this luxury list our farmers wer dis
posing of their apples abroad at very
satisfactory prices, receiving as high
as SIS a barrel for the fruit; but
since the publication of this list the
price has gone down to $1.75 and 81,
and a barrel of selected Northern
Spies can be bought for the latter
price. AS a result of this slump in
apple prices a very large fruit stor-
age company in Wayne, a heavy pro-
ducing county, has gone into bank
ruptcy, and others are pulling in
their belts.
I'm addition the grain outlook is
poor. Wet weather has greatly in
jured the oat crop. Wheat has stood
it better, but here again the heavy
hand of Great Britain is felt. She has
put the freight rate on wheat so ex-
tortionately high that in order to de-
liver it in Liverpool in competition
with Argentine wheat, our farms must
dispose of their crop at relatively un-
satisfactory prices, or carry 1t over
If under present co~nditions3 Argen-
tine can force US to cut our prices on
wheat to the quick in Liverpool, think
what that country can do in our own
market when the war is over, if the
Democratic free trade provision is
then in operation!
THE effect of the British blacklist
has also been felt in my district. Only
the other day a firm in the Both lost
a stable contract on account Of this
blacklist. Appeals to the State De-
partment are barren of result. The
appeal that this country must make is
to the people for a change of admins
tration that we may have the applica-
ton of BRAIN. bone and sinew to u
foreign affairs. My district is solid
for protection, the Democrats are
thoroughly demoralized, and a record
Republican vote will be hung up in
November"

CAMPAIGN COURTESY

President Wilson is to be in Ken
lucky making a speech on the NTH
of September. On that same day Mr..
Hughes vas scheduled to speak in
the Blue Grass state. Through u
tesy to his opponent. the Republican
candidate has cancelled his date in
Kentucky and will not seek to share
honors with the President.
This is campaign courtesy such as
might be expected from a man like
Hughes. We hope Mr.. Wilson appre-
ciates il.
Mr.. Hughes has pitched the key
note of his canvass in the upper reg
lister. 1t is doubtful if a higher level
of campaign oratory or of effective
appeal to the intelligence of an cleo
torate has ever been made than that
with which Hughes has won the West
during his present speech-making
tour. And it will be so to the end of
the chapter.
Yet courtesy will not prevent-has
not prevented-him from seeking out
and penetrating the open joints in
wilson's armor. With the same
searching ruthlessness which kept
him so keen upon the scent of cor
ruption in New York ten years ago.
which gave him his first broad repu-
tation and which led him directly to
the governors seat at Albany, Hughes
will follow every trail that promises
to lead to a revelation of the admins
tration's weakness or folly. This is
fair politics. Hughes. will observe the
amenities of the campaign-but he
will not pad his blows.

A CLOAK FOR
A FAILURE

Whatever may be the subsidiary rea-
sons which impelled the administra-
ton to take the rest of the National
Guard from their home concentration
camps and send them off to the bor-
der, the underlying cause of this ac-
ton is plain.
1t is to cloak the failure of the Hay
bill.
1t is we'll known that recruiting for
the National Guard is at a ~standstill
and that it has been so for many
weeks. In spite Of the utmost dill
gence on the part of the recruiting
officers, the ranks of the Guard are
not up to wal footing. nor is there
any likelihood that they will be. So
long as the Guard remained at home.
this fact was daily in evidence.
Happily, however. the mails are
still going back and forth between
Texas and the home states of the
Guard; happily. the telegraph lines
are still in working order; happily.
there are several slert and conscien-
tious newspaper correspondents
down there with the boys-and by
these means the folks back home will
continue to know that the courageous
fighting youth of the country have no
in this administration and
they do not intend to enlist under the
misleading provisions of the Hay ar
my bill in order to help out the ad-
ministration's political fortunes and
to fill the pockets of Texas suffers
who r fringing the edges Of the
camps down there.

Presents Records of 4 Herds
Of Chittenden County Cows
Average Value of Butea 1851 per Animal in Six Months
Test-Return of S .95 per Dollar Spent for Feed

The semi-annual report of the First
Chittenden County Cow Testing and
Farm Extension association has been
prepared by G. M. Nelson, the official
tester. who signs himself yours for
bigger profits" Mr. Nelson says:
The accompanying table gives the
results of IA herds, consisting of 443
cows, which have completed six
months record from May 1, 1915, to
November J., 1915. The average per
COW is found to be 1888 pounds of
milk and 1882 pounds of butterfat
with an average test of 1881 per cent.
The value of the butterfat at 33 cents
per pound is $35.71. The cost of feed
is divided into two parts: First, the
roughage. which includes pasture, hay,
silage and soiling crops such as green
oats and peas, millet. ETC.; second, con-
centrates either purchased or home
grown. The average cost of roughage
was $12.65 and the cost of grain $5.72.
making a total of 1887, leaving a
profit above the cost of feed of $17.34.
The cost of feed per pound of butter
fat was IT cents and per hundred
weight of milk 64.7 cents. The return
per dollar of feed expended was $1.95.
The high cost of feed in hers No.
2 and 10 was due to the fact that the-'
cows had no pasturage and were fed
entirely in the barn. It is obviously
unfair to compare the production of
these different herds at this time as
the summer diaries lead in production
up to this point but during the next
half year the winter herds will be far
ahead.
In handling their herds many of the
farmers of this association neglect or
overlook several very important phas-
es of the dairy industry and by so do
ing production and profits are kept at
a rather low figure.

The majority of farmers turn their
cows into pasture about the 10th of
May and take away all grain and other
feed, relying solely on rather poor
pastures to furnish enough feed dur
ing the summer months. Production
is large during May and June and falls
off rapidly in July and August when
the pastures begin to dry up. During
these months grain and soilage crops
or silage should be fed to keep UP
the flow of milk.
In the fall too many herds are al
lowed to remain outdoors in cold
rainy weather. Pasture and meadow
grass after hard frost are also injuri-
Gus and we find that the cows exposed
to such conditions drop to a very low
production for October to the middle
of November when all sane dairymen
put their cattle into winter quarters
Farmers who take care to shelter their
stock and feed we'll find that the fall
and early winter months are almost
ideal for the maximum production of
dairy products.
Manufacturing plants lay much
stress on the by-products and in many
cases nearly the entire profit comes
from them. Dairy farming also has
by-products, the chief Of which are
skim milk, calves and manure. Farm
ers as a rule turn the first two to good
account, but are inclined to neglect
the latter. Manure pits are few and
far between while in most instances
the manure is simply allowed to ac-
cumulate in piles out of doors exposed
TO sun and rain when tremendous
losses occur before it is finally hauled
to the land. If farmers could only
see the many dollars worth Of fertility
into thin air or flowing down
the brooks and rivers they would take
pains to preserve and utilize every
forkful Of manure.
