the Casino this week, and despite
the fact that this theater has been
dark for several months, capacity
audiences have greeted every per-

Successful Auction.

D. G. Speir of Greensboro, who is
one of the interested members in the
agricultural association, recently held
an auction of Silverdale Farm Jer-
seys. The stock consisted largely of
young animals with quite number of
bulls. The buyers were people who
came from Cambridge Junction, JEFF
ferson, Northfeld, Calais, Cabot,
Danville, Maiden, Hardwick, Crafts
bury, Sheffield, Jay, Barton and Glow
er. Many of these buyers bought
animals to start pure-bred herds.
Quite a number Of the bulls are to be
used in herds for grading up. Mr..
Speir reports the prices were very
satisfactory and that he was much
pleased with the sale. This auction
should serve as an indication that
there is a good demand for registered
stock and the dairy business as a
whole on healthful and prosperous
basis.

Maple Product Industry.

Ever since the beginning of the Or
leans County Agricultural association
the farmers of that organization have
constantly demanded something to be
done to improve the market for ma
pie sugar products and considerable
time and study has been spent on the
industry to learn how conditions
might be improved. 1t has seemed
to the officers that this might be an
opportune time to attempt something
in the way of organization in this in
dustry. The details of the plans have
not been fully developed but it has
been thought advisable to place the
matter before the farmers and get
opinion of large number who are
willing to take up this type of work.
ming series of meetings throughout
the county to discuss the matter in
many of it's phases. One matter
which is of considerable Importance
has been disposed of to certain ex-
tent. Many of our farmers are not
financially situated so that they can
carry their products over a short pc
Rod of time until suitable market
can be obtained. If this class of far
mers were not looked after venture
of this kind would be seriously handi-
capped. To this end some of the
banks of the county have been inter-
viewed to learn their attitude and
they have expressed confidence that
they would assist in this work upon
what is called warehouse system for
short-time loans. The program will
be mailed out to all the members and
those who are not members can have
the same upon application to the
county agent.
If the farmers take hold of this
problem and carry it through to a
logical conclusion it will mean a great
deal to the industry. The first prin-
ciple upon which such an industry
should be based should be proper
grading of the product. 1t is doubt
full if better market can be obtained
for the poorer grades, but there is a
big opportunity to secure high price
for a good product, which. Orleans
county farmers could have if they had
a plant from which high-grade sugar

How to Select Cloth Relative to Quality
of Weave

In a circular prepared by Miss M.
Jane Newcomb, assistant in home eco
nomics extension at the Pennsylvania
State college, appear the following sug-
gestiOns concerning the selection of
cloth relative to quality Of weave:
More attention should be given to
the weave of cloth, as much material
on the market is made up for effect.
Many times, for example, cloth is
loosely woven, then the spaces flied
with starch or some other substance
and the whole polished in such a way
that it presents an attractive surface,
but does not have the wearing quality
The presence of filling substance can
be discovered by rubbing a piece of
the material vigorously between the
hands. The weaves that are most COM
mon in cotton materials suitable for
children's clothes are the plain, the
twill and the satin. All of these are
good when they are firm and meet the
foregoing test.

FOR SNOWBIRDS.

How to Feed Their. All Winter to Their
Own Tastes.
One of the main things necessary in
feeding the birds in winter is to see
that it is done regularly. They get
used to coming to the feeding place
and suffer when food is not there. The
food should always be in good condi-
ton and suitable for the birds for
which it is intended.
Mountain ash berries are always well
come. A small box containing old NOR
tar, salt, fine poultry grit, should be
placed where the birds can get it. Wa
ter free from ice is also most impor-
tant. Keep the English sparrows away
as much as possible.
AS for the kinds of food, curd is
much relished. Hemp is one of the
best seeds for seed eating birds. Japas
nese millet is also good. Broken nuts
Of all kinds, sunfower seed, squash
seed and cracked corn will attract
nuthatches, chickadees and bluejays.
Blemished Or wilted oranges cut in
half or specked apples are greedily
eaten: Most birds prefer oats to

ley securely fastened to a pole and put
out on the lawn become a feeding
place de luxe. Common table salt is
much relished BY many birds. Old
mortar and fine poultry grit are en-
joyed by cross bills and other birds
Bread or cake crumbs, broken biscuits,
ground oats and |heat, canary seed,
boiled rice, celery tops and chopped
meat will all be eaten by the various
birds. Mountain ash berries are fine
to use during the spring migration;
also butternuts, scraps Of meat, pump
kin and apple seeds.
Trim your pOrches in the fall with
evergreen branches. The green at
tracts the birds. Place feed boxes
among the branches and suspend them
from the ceiling. Fasten suet and fat
meat where the birds can get it. Co
cOanut shells cut in half and suspended
by wires make safe and good feeding
places.
For birds that will eat only on the
ground keep a space clear from snow
directly under your window from which
food can be dropped without disturbing
the birds.
Birds attract birds. Gradually draw
them close to the house by scattering
broken nuts on the trees and ground.

The Milk Situation.

The county agent attended a meet
ing in Boston on January Sd, to which
many of the interested men in the
milk situation of New England at
tended. The idea of this meeting
was to discuss and adopt the report
of the committee which was elected
at Springfield some weeks ago to de-
velop plans for placing the New En-
gland Milk Producers association on
a larger and frmer basis. The meet
ing exemplifed the spirit of New En-
gland farmers very plainly and there
was unanimous opinion that the re-
port of the committee, which consist
ed largely of the new constitution
to all New England production and
marketing rather than that which
only pertained to the Boston market.
The regular annual meeting of the N.
E. M. P. A., will be held the latter
part of February and it is expected
the organization will adopt in full the
suggestions of the meeting of this
last week. There may be one thing
which may cause misunderstanding
in regard to the county meetings
which were held Dec. Sd throughout
New England. 1t may not have been
made clear at the meeting at New
port that those who paid LOO paid a
membership fee, but there is to be an
annual assessment on the basis of
$1OO for herd of ten cows or less,
and ten cents cow for each addi-
tional cow. This will give the or
ganization financial means to con-
duct their work. The organization
from the first has been handicapped
by lack of funds. Membership and
fees were too low. 1t should be per-
fectly plain the advisability of having
this annual assessment, which is very
small in comparison with that which
is levied by the New York Dairymen's
League and other similar organiza-
lions. The results which are OBJ
tanned will in measure be in pro-
portion to the financial standing of
the organization, and every farmer
can well lend his support because
every farmer will receive more or
less direct benefit The Milk Produ-
GERS association hopes to organize 10
cal units in several of the towns of
Orleans county between now and the
first of March.

County Agent Resigns.

1t may not be news to the members
of the agricultural association to an
nounce that the county agent has re-
signed his position to take effect Feb
ruary LIST, having accepted similar
position in Rockingham county, N. H.,
with headquarters at Exeter. In the
past three years the work has steadi-
ly grown and many things have been
accomplished with the steady sup
port of the farmers of Orleans county,
which proves the wonderful possibili-
ties of such an organization from
longer period of time. If the organ
ization can be organized and show
definite and more or less permanent
results in three years, which is the
very short time with such business
as farming, the future looks eXcep-
tionally bright. There has been quite
a little misunderstanding and often
times sharp criticism of the work and
oftentimes a lack of confidence due
to the work being new, and the people
who are more apt to make such crltl-
cisms have been people who are woe
fully ignorant of what is trying to be
accomplished. These little unpleas-
ant circumstances have not in the
least interfered with the officers or
the county agent in carrying out their
program, and it has been gratifying
to learn the attitude which many
have expressed in the last few days
in regard to the development of the
Organization and what it will lead to.
It is to be hoped and urged that every
armer that has placed confidence in
M Importing the present county agent
ill continue to do so with the new,
hoover he may be, and also those
no have not taken a strong part IN
le project may put forth their ener
with the new man and make the
Orleans county organization fill the
position which it justly deserves
among agricultural counties Of New
with a feeling of friendship and good
) will of the people with whom he has
associated and certainly has no less in
return. There should be little ex-
<cuse for anyone lessening their sup
mort because an individual who has
been associated has been removed. It
is a good time to determine the real
strength of the organization. Every
farmer who has received any favOra-
Die results in the course of the devel-
pment should stand by all the strong
r to make the new county agent a
bore efficient and better man.
The executive committee are Sc
lring names of possible candidates
the position and it is only a mat
of a short time before someone
be actively engaged to take up
work In the meantime the pres
county agent will continue to have
- publication in the Monitor and
will take care of such work as is ur-
gently needed. 1t is expected that he
will spend one week in February, one
in March, and one after the spring
season opens to assist the new county
agent in locating the demonstrations
and getting acquainted in the field.
Anything which should be called to
the attention of the county agent can
be sent by communication to the
Newport Office and will be taken care
of in the best possible manner; thus
it will be seen that the executive COM
mittee have provided against a lapse
of work with the organization and it
will go steadily on to fulfill it's in
tended purpose: ......

worked and it is the belief of many
of the organization that the member
ship could be greatly increased if the
farmers were approached. It was
voted to conduct such campaign and
the advisory councilman from each
town will look after his respective
town. Some week the latter part of
February will be designated for the
work and the farmers of the county
should look forward to visit from
