has a record of sc pounds Of milk, or
rs pounds of butter in tWenty-four
hours. Her record is 10.191.5 pounds
of milk and 683.7 pounds of butter
in year.
| was especially interested in the
Holstein cows from the Balsams
farms at Dixville Notch, New Hamp-
shire. One Holstein COW had a rec
ord of 81 pounds Of butter per week.
Her keeper told me that she had to
be MIXED three times a day when at
the farm. When on exhibition she
is MIXED twice a day because the
flow of milk is decreased by the dis
turbance due to being used for show
purposes.
| noticed at the exhibition that
the show of Jerseys predominated,
but | have not changed my mind
that for all round purposes the Hol-
stein is the best cow.
1t is remarkable TO note the differ
ence between these registered cows
and the COW of the ordinary farm
dairy. If a dairyman with a pro-
miscuous dairy is getting pound
and half week per cow he is do
ing quite well. Hence, the great
profit of going into thoroughbred
cattle for dairy purposes is most APP
parent. 1t seems to me that every
farmer should start herd of thor
oughbred Holsteins, using for the
beginning two females and one male
whose ancestors have record for
large butter and milk production.
In this way in five or six years one
could quadruple his receipts without
paying any extra expense for keep
ing. | wish every dairyman in Ver-
mont could attend this show, make
careful observation of the stock
there on exhibition and profit by the
knowledge he receives. Vermont is
the greatest dairy state in the union.
During governor Mead's administra-
ton he made the statement that
Vermont was the only state that had
a cow for every one of its in
habitants.
Yours truly,

1t was my good fortune to visit
the national dairy show at Spring
field recently. | went there especi-
ally for the purpose Of seeing the
best COWS in the United States. |
was certainly rewarded for my eff
forts, and predict that within ten
years, if the farmers of Vermont
will use the enterprise Of which they
are capable, the dairy products per
COW will be double. 1t is almost
astonishing to note what good breed
ing will do. There was great
crowd of spectators around the re-
ception room Of Sophie 10" from
the Hood farm, a Jersey and the
queen of all milk producers in the
United States. Her surroundings
were particularly attractive; she was
lying down with a blanket on and
was not urged by her keeper to rise,
although the spectators were all
anxious to see her standing. Finally,
in her own good time she arose, and
during the whole day there WAS a
large crowd around her. She was
probably the most attractive feature
Of the whole show. Her record was
posted on a bulletin board and show
ed that during six years she had
produced 1920 pounds of milk, or
SIT pounds of butter, making 869.5
pounds of butter per year.
There we're some fine Jersey cows

No Need to Worry.

No one need worry about Congress
man Porter H. Dale not becoming
acquainted with the voters of his
home district. When he received
his first election it was proven that
he enjoyed a winning following of
friends, who knew him and banked
on his ability for the position. At
the primary just passed no one
seemed very anxious to oppose his
nomination. and what's more, it
would have been of little use. Con-
gresham Dale will do some speak
ing in his district before the Novem-
Der election. In fact, he has been
invited to come to Waterbury for

STATE PRESS
After Porter III. Dale's Scalp?

After Porter III. Dale's Scalp?
A couple of rather pungent edi-
torial comments on Congressman
Porter H. Dale of the second district
indicate that for some reason the
Washington county bunch and the
state-house gang are displeased with
the representative from across the
mountains.
Why is it? What has Dale done
to get himself "in wrong?"
The Barre Times says it would
like to have Congressman Dale go
about his own second district in YER
mont and let the voters have one
look at him before they die" 1t al
leges that the incumbent is lone of
the most unknown men in his own
bailiwick" who ever was congress
man from that district.
The Herald has curiosity to know
whether that is a fact. How well
known is Mr.. Dale?
1t is fair to assume he is known in
Brighton, where he held the usual
town Offices" He must have been
fairly we'll known in Essex county
because he was twice elected to the
state senate, serving in 1910 and
1912. Apparently few people knew
him in the second district, because
he served as chairman of the dis
trict convention in 1896.
In the state itself, he must have
had a speaking acquaintance with a
few voters because he was member
of the Republican state committee
in 1908 and chairman of the Repub-
lican state convention in 1898. Some
one must have recognized him in
passing because he was on Governor
CIRCUITS staff in 1868 and he was
on the staff of the collector of GUS
tomsgin 1897-191O.
During his campaign, it was some
thing of a saying in the second dis
trict that Mr.. Dale might turn up in
any town, most any day, and, one
time or another, he visited every
town in the district, talked to a
great many voters and completely
outfooted Mr.. 'Dunnett, who is by
no means slow traveller.
One way and another, one would
say that Mr.. Dale had at least a
handshaking acquaintance with
quite a number of voters, though
possibly he may have been seriously
derelict in calling to pay his respects
tor take orders from-certain Of
fees, interests and headquarters in
Washington county and elsewhere
that one might mention.
What is the matter with Mr.. Dale,
gentlemen of the second district? Is
he inclined to forget to kowtow?
We are so comfortable over here
in the first district that neighborly
solicitude and good will might we'll
warrant the inquiry. Rutland
