eentrates is reduced. A few "fat''
cows in the herd are fed reduced car
bohydrate ration. One pound of grain
to each three and one-half to four
pounds of milk is fed. Some change is
made for milk of varying tests, i. e.,
high testing cow is given extra con.
centrates. A simple ration for cow
giving forty pounds of five per cent
milk is corn silage, mixed hay, five
pounds of corn meal, and o mixture of
equal parts of bran, distillers grains
and middlings.
At the Vermont Station, eleven years
experimental feeding have shown that
the dairy cows most desirable ration
contains less protein than is commonly
fed. Again, practical experience sub
stimulates experimental findings, for
twenty-five years have taught Mr.. Bar
rett the value of a heavy concentrate
supply to good cows. He likes corn
meal. With it he says his cows pro-
duce after six months eighty per cent as
luch as when first fresh. "Corn meal, -
he says, "giveS a COW something to fall
back upon. Light feeds don t stay by
? COW in heavy production. Heavy feed
good cows but not with poor cows or
those dual in purpose. But, then, we
don't want poor cows
Silage is grown on the farm and is
fed about nine months in the year.
Selling crops are supplied during the re-
mainder of the year. Barley and mil
let are two soiling crops used, millet
being especially favored. They are
sowed at different times and are fed
from the early part of August until well
along in October.
Mr.. Barrett sells a few bull calves
but kills others rather than feed them
for veal. He says, "I can t afford to
raise calves for veal The cost of
feeding has been found to exceed the
selling price.
Milk is retailed at ten cents-the
test average above five per cent, the
lowest test yet made being 492. The
ost of retailing totals about three cents,
l,aving net price at the farm of seven
cents per quart.
Mr. Barrett is skilled dairyman. He
has n high class herd, follows carefully
the lessons taught by twenty-five years
of dairying, and keeps his accounts ac-
curately. He was asked what he has to
receive for milk to make n profit. His
reply was: 81 just little more than
break on seven cents at the farm.
There are few dairymen in New
England who could not profit by study
ing and following the dairy practices
of this farm. They represent about all
that is practical in experience and in
scientific investigation. And vet the
farm only ga little more than breaks
even on seven cents.' There is also
a lesson here for those who decry the
further increases in milk prices which
are proposed

MAY ID HELP SUPPORT WIFE.
Marital Troubles of Putney Man Aired
Before Judge Cudworth-Wife Lives
i'll Holyoke, Mass.

Marital troubles of Benjamin May,
81, of Putney were aired in the munic
ipal court before Judge A. f. Cudworth
Monday morning, when May appeared
to answer charge of non-support pre-
ferred by his wife, Sadie May. May was
arrested last week. After the hearing
Judge Cudworth ordered the respondent
to pay $3.50 week towards Mrs. May s
support until further orders from the
court. State Attorney w. r. Daley
appeared For the complainant and Judge
A. F. Schwenk for May.
In his testimony May stated that he
was married two years ago and had
worked steadily whenever his health
permitted but last spring Mrs. May took
her boy and departed for Holyoke,
Mass. Since that time he has had sick
ness and been unable to work part of
the time. DR.. Louis Hazen of Putney
testified to having attended May.
Trouble between the couple dates from
February, according to the evidence,
when the defendant said the first sat
tack' came.
Mrs. May, who previously had been
married and had seven children, told the
court that she, too, had been in poor
health and at present was not able to
care for her youngest boy and self. She
said that she had written her husband
several times for aid but only received
So at one time, So at another and 81 at
another since they had separated.
Regarding her husband S stomach
trouble, of which he complained, the
woman caused litter by declaring that
it was all caused by his eating a dozen
bananas and two plates of ice cream
at one sitting. She also stated that
when they were married she furnished
the money for Mays wedding clothes,
During their early married life Mrs. May
admitted that her husband had been a
hard worker and good provider. He is
at present living alone in Putney and
working.
There is dispute between the couple
regarding furniture, some of which May
claims to have bought himself and paid
for. The rest Mrs. May claims she pro-
vided from her former home at the
time they were married. She seeks to
recover some of it and this matter will
be threshed out in court at later date

TAFT BUILDING TO BE LOWERED.
Building Inspector johnson Arranges
With the Owners-Attic and Upper
Story to Come Off.

Negotiations have been completed be-
tween John l.. Johnson, building in
spector, and a representative of the Cut
Ter company of North Wilbraham, Mass.
owner of the old Taft building located
on Flat street, directly in the rear of
the new Barber block, whereby the attic
and story below are to be removed,
the entire structure reinforced and a
proof fiat roof substituted.
This announcement will be received
with a great deal of satisfaction by
owners of adjoining property. and the
general public as WELL who have long
considered the building not only an eye
sore, but unsafe and a fire trap.
Mr.. johnson says that he has been
considering what action to take for two
years and has consulted lawyers and all
of the property owners in the locality,
including the two banks and Methodist
church. The property owners pledged
their support in any steps he might take
to have the building in its present condi,
ton eliminated.
Finally acting under the Vermont
statutes (Section IL, No. 30s, of the
Acts of 1922 he wrote the Cutler com
pany pointing out the defects of the
building and suggesting a remedy. He
was informed that it would require at
least three months to get a modern and
adequate sprinkler system installed as
he suggested, and last week the company
sent representative here to consult
with him.
After thorough inspection of the
building the improvements to be made
were agreed upon. Through the agent
the Cutler company expressed its will
ingness to do anything reasonable, and
it did not take long to convince him
what should be done. The work will
be begun Immediately.
For long time the Taft building
which is occupied by the Valley Grain
company, has been menace to other
property owners nearby, who have been
obliged to pay additional insurance
rates. Even the chief of the fire depart
ment, Frank Streeter said, when con
ferred with, that in case it ever caught
fire he would not dare to enter the
building and would never send men into
it. Any blaze he said would have to be
fought wholly from the outside.
Mr.. Johnson will personally oversee
the work.
