RIGHT MANAGEMENT OF HOGS
Protection From Sun, Pure Water and
Succuient Grazing, Are Three
Important Factors.

Sun shades, pure water and succu-
lent grazing are three very important
factors in the summer management
of swine. Hogs suffer more from heat
than any other class of animals. When
they were removed from their native
shaded haunts, and confined in pens
and open yards, exposed to the hot
rays of the sun, and by the change
transformed from lank, large-lunged
animals into modern fat-backs, they
were made peculiarly susceptible to
the sizzling rays of the summer sun.
Hogs that are confined in open
yards. where they are exposed to the
hot sun do well to keep alive, even
though they are consuming sufficient
feed to make two pounds of pork a
day. Sunshades mean comfort, and

those pretty cotton costumes for sum-

Cotton poplin or cotton gabardine
are of about the right weight for suits
of this kind, and there are other fab
rics that are well suited to them, as
crash or ratine and fancy basket

and pocket flaps of brocaded ratine.

Hogs do not perspire. Other ami

Not only is this SO, but hogs are fed

A delightful volume entitled Curios-

ed by q. +. Putnam s Sons, New York.
winch Is worthwhile book for any
nome or library. 1t is a collection of
unusual adages, maxims, aphorisms,
phrases, and other popular dicta from
many lands, classified and arranged with
annotations by Dwight Edwards Mar
vim. The book opens with chapter
on the folk sayings of the world, with
special reference to their origin,

lance in revealing the ideals and moral
standards of the people who use them.
There are more than 1000 folk sayings
translated from more than seventy
languages and dialects The volume is
not mere compilation, but also a
study of proverb lore which shows the
real significance of the sayings of the
people, and the reason for their
repetition from one generation to an
other. There is an alphabetical and

any particular proverb may be readily
ascertained. This book may be obtain

The country now approaches the reg
ular triennial scare over the possibility
of coal strike and famine. The
chances are that the miners will get
some advance in pay, which will cost
the coal companies nothing. 1t will all
be passed on to the consumer, with per
haps some additions thrown in. The
price is already very high Whether
the entire coal consuming public, rich
and poor alike, should be taxed an ex-
ira figure for the benefit of the miners
is question not to be answered at
this distance. One proposal of the
miners is that the agreement to be
made this spring be for two years only
This will have the effect of bringing
these regular upheavals of a great in
dustry closer together. While agree
ments are pending, the price of Goa
stays high, and is not subjected to the
customary spring reduction 1t would
certainly be an imposition on the pub
lie to have this threat of famine recul
every other year.

WHY CHANGE?

The Vermont Anti Saloon League
says in one of its advertisements
The proposed prohibitory law is sim.

fc in Intoxicating liquors with it's 10
cal option, high license features omit
ted, and its prohibitory features APP
Piled to the whole state, just as they
now apply to more than nine-tenths of
the cities and towns.
Here in nutshell is one of the strong
est arguments against the Perry bill
Its defenders admit that its passage
will not change conditions in nine
tenths of the cities and towns in the
state; it is just the same law as is now
in effect, and in no-license territory its
operation would not differ from that
OF the present law except in one i'm
portant particular (Which the Perry
ties fail to mention). 1t provides for
no annual expression of opinion on the
liquor question.

/ by believers in the principle of local
option. 1t is unreasonable to expect
that respect for the liquor laws would
be as great, or enforcement of then
as rigid, without this periodic expires
sion of sentiment
The fact that practically every town

Vermont Loses Good Teachers.

Despite the fact that the teachers
salaries in this city have largely in
creased during the past decade-from
$33,717 in 1905 to $40, 40 in 1915
and the further fact that one-third Of
such salaries are paid to the teachers
in the high school, it seems that com
petent Rutland teachers can easily OBJ
tain employment elsewhere at consid
erably better figures than here The
following instance is vouched for: \

commissioners 800 year to teach in

school while in New Hampshire she

State Forester Austin F. Halves on
Monday evening made some remark
able statements in Rutland which
should get SOME action from our off
Gals. The various practical uses 70
which tract OF forest owned by the

requirement Of such reserve. This ex,
pert referred TO little town in Ger
many, about the size of Bethel, which
had an income from its forest of $l7.-
goo year, sufficient amount to paw
ali public expenses. And what can be
done IN Germany ought to be possible
IN Vermont. If the Rutland Watershed
were forested, it would provide the
people with place of recreation, it
would conserve the water supply and.
eventually, 1t would pay good returns
as an investment. Rutland cannot
