VERMONT pAlRYMEN
Forty.smth Annual Meeting Held
This Week.

y MS WCcH'
Burlington, Jan. 14.-At the closing
session of the 10th annual convention
OF the Vermont Dairymen's associa-
ton late yesterday II. X. Brooks OF
ST. Adams was elected president for
the ensuing year. Other officers cleo
ted are as follows: First vice presi-
dent, O. l.. Martin Of Plainneld; sec
ond vice-president. II. B. Curtis of st.
Adams. secretary. +. II. Blckford of
Bradford; treasurer NJ. a. Adams of
Derby; auditor, f. l.. Davis of Hart
ford.
The resolutions as presented by the
committee, Dean J. l.. Hills, A. 7. Cur
It's and Benjamin Tucker, were unani-
mously adopted. They referred TO
the deaths OF james X. Curtis, late of
Georgia, who was for several years
during the 90s secretary OF the AS
ISOLATION, and OF Melvin II. Miller
late OF Randolph, who was the eldest
son OF pioneer in the work OF the
association, and himself an active
member as long as his health permit
ted.
Acknowledgment was made OF the
courtesies extended by the hotels, rail
roads, press and citizens Of the city
of Burlington.
Note was made of the working of
the federal enactments in regard to
oleomargarine, which seems to be pro
crossing well from the point of view
of the dairymen.
The officers OF the association were
empowered to appoint a committee to
cooperate with like committee from
the state grange, looking towards
unified action in connection with leg
islative matters, instead of sporadic
effort.
Belief was expressed that more
permanent committee in regard to-
unified action In connection with leg
islative matters affecting dairymen
should be constituted with the espec.
ial duty of watching legislation in the
three southern New England states
and that the expenditure OF the associ
alton funds, within reasonable limits,
in the interests OF such movement
would be advisable. 1t was resolved
that, whereas. diversity of enact
ment tends to distract and unity to
foster dairy interests" delegate

AS We GROW OLDER

our minds are quite as active as in
former years but our strength does not
respond when we need it most; perhaps
the kidneys are weak, the liver torpid,
rheumatic pains or stifened joints
beset us, and we cannot easily throw
off the colds that winter brings.
What we need is the rich cod liver oil
in SCOTS Emulsion to renew the blood
andcarry strength to every organ of the
body,while its glyeerine soothes there's
piratory tract, and its hypophosphites
strengthen the excitable nerves.
SCOTS Emulsion is scientific oil
food, of unusual benefit to those past
fifty ycars--particularly during the
colder seasons, it imparts warmth and
creates strength. One bottle will prove
i!3 worth. No alcohol or harmful drugs.

LEGATION. ii Russian farmer discovered
a method OF increasing the yield OF
wheat il SO startling a manner that 10
one believed he was telling the truth.
The Russian declared that it was pos
sible TO get seventy pounds of grain
from one seed, and to make an acre
carry forty-liyc tons.
That does sound like q miracle, and
we do not youch for 1t, but here is the
method, ana IL any farmer has the pa
tience II try it he will certainly be sur
prised at the result.
Each grain Is planted separately in a
sunken bed about fifteen inches deep
and three and half feet in width.
AS soon as the grain sprouts the little
blade is covered with Il thin layer OF
earth about an inch and hair in
depth. The result is that you get three
stalks instead Of one. At the end Of
three weeks the hoe comes into use
again, and the three stalks being COW
