COW TESTING ASSN FORMED
Bennington County Farm Bureau
Association Members Take Adyanc-
cd Steps in Dairy Industry. Associ-
atom TO Engage Tester AZ Once.

The members of the Bennington
County Farm Bureau Association 10
Gated in the towns of Rupert and Dor
set have just concluded arrangements
for a cow testing association and ex-
pect that before the first of the year
they will have their tester engaged
and everything in good working order.
There are al associations testing
cut more than 10000 cows in this
STATE, Several farmers in other parts
of the county are dcsirous of finding
out their profitable and Improbable
cows. II enough interest is shown am
other association will be organized. It
takes 26 herds with a total Of more
than 500 cows to complete an associa-
ton. Undoubtedly most Of us have
few cows that keep the profits of the
rest of the herd down to a pretty smal,
margin. 1t is matter of applying
business principles TO our dairy.
The oldest association in this State
has by far the most profitable dairies.
By means of this method of testing
out your dairy the farmer is able in a
short time to determine whether GER
tain cows are worth feeding and
on the feed roll.
County Agricultural Agent Shaw is
at present planning series Of win
ter meetings throughout the county.
These meetings are for the purpose of
the farmers together to talk
over demonstration work of the past
season, club work, and planning for
work in their community for next
year. These meetings will be held in
Is many different places as practical
n order that as many farmers as pos
ible may be reached When there is
! meeting scheduled in your town
make an effort to get out and bring
our neighbor with you. 1t is some
hing worth while for all. All should
axe an interest in this work and feel
rec to talk over agricultural prob
ems of the community.

OF 1916 LUMBER
PRODUCTION TO BE TAKE

Washington, Nov. 20-The census OF
the lumber production Of the country
for 1916 will be undertaken by the
Forest Service in cooperation with the
National Lumber Manufacturers
Association. The information to be
obtained by this work, it is stated will
be Of immense benefit to the lumber
industry, the Forest Service, and other
branches of the Government.
1t is estimated by the Forest Service
that there are more than 10000 saw
mills in the country and it is planned
to have the investigation reach every
sawmill in operation. Each of these
will be asked to make detailed report
Of its production. Information is
sought as to the total quantity of each
kind of wood sawed, the number of
lath and shingles manufactured and
the average mill value for each
species. Printed schedules designed
for use in different regions of the
country will simplify the collection Of
the figures and make it easy for each
mill man to send in complete report.
The work, it is stated, will be directed
by the Office of Industrial Investiga-
tions of the Forest Service in Wash
ington, but the western part of the
country will be covered by, the Dis
trict offices of the Forest Service To-
Gated in Missoula, Mont; Denver, Col;
Albuquerque, N. NJ; Ogden, Utah;
San Francisco, CAL; and Portland,
Ore. The officers in charge Of these
Districts, being nearer and thoroughly
familiar with the scene of operations,
are able to secure returns and COM
pile results in less time than if the
work were all handled from Washing |
ton.
1t is intended that preliminary
statements showing the production of
the principal species, such as yellow
pine, Douglas fir, white pine, and oak,
and also the production of the leading
States, will be issued as soon as the
figures are available. The Importance
of these annual statistics, Forest Ser
vice officials say, is apparently not
fully realized by all of the sawmill
men, since past attempts to gather
similar data show large number Of
ten fail to reply promptly, or neglect
to make any report. A better re-
sponse has been received from the
lumber trade in late years, and the
officials in charge of the work believe
that with proper cooperation on the
part Of the lumbermen final figures
showing the total production can be
by June l, 1917.

EDISON'S TIME CARD

| Mr.. Edison, the inventor of the in.
canGescent electric lamp has defined
genius as 2 per cent inspiration and
96 per cent perspiration. In his own
working rooms in New Jersey, Mr.
Edison punches time card each day
when he comes and goes, just as any
other employe, and his time card is the
best evidence of his belief in his defin-
ition.
A study of one of Mr. Edison's time
cards is interesting. This, his time
card Of the week ending August 9th,
shows that on Wednesday Mr.. Edison
did not come in at all in the morning,
for he was already in, having worked
all night He left at SIG in the morn
ing and returned six hours later
punching in" at 2:2O. Again he
worked all night, leaving the following
morning at S:11 after an 1S-hour
stretch Of work. Thus he labored
night after night and at the end Of the
week the punching shows total of 81
ohurs and 40 minutes to his credit
This time card was selected at random
and does not differ much from the
time card found in the rack under Mr..
Edison's name at the end of almost
any week.

James Partridge died at his home in
Windsor Nov. l2 as result of drink
ing a glass Of horse medicine. His
son, Allen S. Partridge, was doctoring
a horse and filed a glass with some Of
the medicine, after which he left for
the barn to administer it tothe animal.
II is supposed that the father, who was
S3 years old, thought his son was to
drink ii and that he had not been in
cluded in the treat, so as soon as his
son left, he took drink before others
in the room could stop him. He died
at once.

NORWICH UNIVERSITY NOTES

Norwich to Hold Winter Tournament
The authorities and cadets of Nor
wich University are planning to hold
winter tournament sometime this
winter. No other college in New
England has a more ideal location for
such an event than Norwich. There
are plenty of hills of all degrees Of
grade and length, surplus of snow,
and several basins which could be
made into good skating rinks. Every
year there are great many cadets
who spend most of their time which
they have to spare during the winter
on snowshoes or skis. Hockey is also
a favorite sport. The plan is to put
all this latent ability and enthusiasm
to good purpose and have tourna-
ment which will make Norwich known
throughout New England as the col
lege where winter sports receive their
due attention. AT Norwich, as at
many other colleges, the winter
months are on the whole rather hard
grind. Lecture courses, glee club en-
tertainments, etc, liven things to
quite a degree; but outdoor life is
needed to keep mind and heart active
and contented. This tournament, with
the practice it necessitates, should fill
a big gap in life at Norwich. There
will then be things of interest to the
sportsman between the time of the
V. NJ. football game in
The fall and the first crack of bat on
oall in the spring.

Hunters Use ReyoIyers
Warden Higgins, who was in Rut-

laws which do not prevent man
carrying a revolver. He says many
foreigners and hunters from without
the state take advantage of this situa
ton by hunting with revolvers and
thus escape paying nonresident IL
eense, or any license at all, for that
matter.
Early last week the authorities were
notified that two good-sized deer had
been shipped out Of camp in Dandy
by way of an automobile and that both
OF the animals were shot before the
opening Of the season, An investi |
CATION followed and on Saturday |
Frank Baker Of Dandy, fern picker,
was arrested and brought to Rutland.
States Attorney C. " Poulin and
the two game wardens interrogated
the man but he did not disclose any
evidence which would tend to convict
himself or anyone else. He claimed
his machine had been broken for sew
eral days. The man was arraigned be-
fore Judge f. G. Swinnerton and the
ease against him of transporting deer
contrary TO law was mol pressed.

The situation in Dandy has been
reported TO State Commissioner John
w. Titcomb, who is giving the matter
his personal attention. The commits
sioner says it is an extremely hard
matter to get the necessary evidence,
although the officials are satisfied as
to the identity of some of the law
breakers.
According to Commissioner Titcomb
there were between 225 and $50 bucks |
reported killed up to Saturday night I
as compared to about 450 year/ago s
this time. The bucks killed are heavy |
specimens and this is accounted for {
because the law allows the shooting Of t
bucks only and many of the hunters I
are not taking chances on the smaller S
animals. q

800 pounds of wool, hay and grain, 66
