POLITICAL ADVERTISING
With Apologies
[ From the Vermont Tribune

From the Vermont Tribune
Those papers that are trying to stir
up ex-Gov. Fletcher had better let him
alone. 1t is not good time to stir up
the people on certain matters. Morris
vile Messenger.
And this reminds us that possibly we
owe our esteemed contemporary, the St.
Adams Messenger, an apology for hav-
ing omitted from our recently published
list of Governor Fletcher's offenses (by
way of calling the Messenger atten-
tion to enormities it had failed to men
ton in its attack upon the former ex-
ernor's transgressions, which we regard
as specially offensive from a popular
standpoint.
One of these additional ofenses on
the part of Governor Fletcher which
we neglected to mention, was his Sc
curing of legislation which resulted in
factory inspection and has brought
about improved sanitary conditions in
Vermont mills and factories and greatly
enhanced the comfort and safety of
employees.
Another ofense on the part of Gov
ernor Fletcher, which we neglected to
tell the Messenger about, was his COM
passing of the removal of high voltage
power lines from the highways of the
state, through the medium of the public
service commission, and thus freeing
those who travel those highways from
peril that needs no emphasis.
Another ofense on the part of Gov
ernor Fletcher, which we neglected to
mention in our article, was his establish
ing the principle once for all that the
state is entitled to good and sufficient
bond at the hands of those to whom it
intrusts the administration of its
finances. This, it may be remarked in
passing, was not debatabie question
it was fixed principle of good business
1t may be that other "offenses" that
should not be condoned will occur to
us later. If so, we shall be glad to call
the attention of the ST. Adams contem-
porary to them and assist it in convinc-
ing the people at large of the enormity
of those "offenses" of Governor Fletcher
which it inadvertently omitted from its
initial list. .#f

Johnson Takes Both Games
From p. A.

P. A., after winning every game since
her defeat at Johnson's hands at the be-
ginning of the season. lost her second
game to johnson May 30, So. The game,
which was played at johnson, was de-
layed short time by violent downpour
of rain. Energetic efforts put the field
in shape for playing however, and a
crowd of 400 people saw the game in
spite of the unfavorable weather condi-
tions. Sylvester for johnson High and
Sllloway for Peoples were both remark
ably good with wet ball, each allowing
only seven hits, none of them being for
extra bases. The game was close and
exciting until the 9th inning; both teams
scored once in the first, and two more in
the third. In the sixth johnson broke
away, and the first three men up hit the
ball safely. Good baseruuning, mishand-
ling of the next two hard hit balls, and
an infield error or two put all three men
across. In the same inning Sylvester and
the whole blue team tIghteued and they
were in no danger again.

RATIoNs FOR LAYING HENS

Buttermilk supplies nutrients likely
to be lacking in ordinary poultry feeds,
has tonic value and is keenly relished
by the fowls, points out w. A. Lippin-
colt, professor of poultry husbandry in
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
Whenever the cost is not prohibitive
factor it will be well to include butter
milk in the poultry ration.
Buttermilk has desirable effect on
the digestive tract, and it's medicinal
effect is advantageous. 1t stimulates
the appetite. The amount that the
birds are able to consume marks the
limit of the amount of feed.
The grain portion of laying ration
that has been used successfully at the
experiment station consists of two
parts by weight f wheat, two parts
corn and one part oats. The mash is
composed of sixty pounds cornmeal,
sixty pounds shorts forty pounds meat
scrap, thirty pounds wheat bran, ten
pounds oilmeal ten pounds mealed al
falfa, one pound salt and all the but
termilk the hens will drink.

CATTLEMEN OPPOSE '.'u
RAISE IN FEES

Cattlemen throughout the Pixies Peak
region are preparing to protest the con-
templated purpose of the department Of
agriculture to advance the present graz
ing fee on the national forest approxi-
mately 100 per cent.
The first advance is to be made
March /, 1917, second advance year
later, and the third increase in 1919.
The present rates charged for grazing
on the public domain is six and one
half cents a head for sheep for the
short season to 81 per head for cattle
for the entire season.
The subject is considered of particu-
larly vital Importance to Colorado
where 100000 acres of lands are con-
tained in the national forests. Upwards
of 100000 cattle were grazcd on these
lands in Colorado this season, more than
twice as many sheep and upwards Of
10000 head of horses.
