The value and practicability of the
notwithstanding scheme" for hens
has worked out SO successfully for
hens in Woodstock that several Wood
stock poultrymen have already adopt
ed the idea of lighting their poultry
houses artifcially, with the result
that the egg output has been increas-
ed very materially. The daylight
saving scheme" originated in Bridge
water, little village adjoining Wood
stock, by Leonard Bradley, who tried
the plan Of lighting lanterns, but the
kerosene illuminant did not stimulate
the hens to extra work as faithfully
as did the more modern lighting by
electricity. Supt. Wilfred Smith of
the Woodstock Electric company was
the first poultry raiser in this village
to try out the idea. He had his hen
houses wired for electric lights and
it stimulated the egg production of
his forty mature hens, in December
yielding only two or three eggs a day,
to 20 eggs per day. Ordinarily in
winter the hens go to bed about $50
p. M, giving them only about eight
hours in which to eat, digest three
meals, scratch around and lay eggs,
whereas by artificial daylight the hens
are induced to get up at four o'clock
IN the morning and after being fed
are ready for the days work at about
the regular summer hour. The lights
are again turned on at 6 p. M, and the
hens, which have gone to roost for the
night, get up and take little needed
exercise and again fill their crops.
A time clock regulates the turning on
and off of the lights. The lighting
also has a tendency to change the
temperature Of the building, making
it somewhat warmer, which helps
toward inducing the hens to extra
work

build more permanent ones unless 1T
was obtained though bonding? Fur
thermore, he maintained, the burden
of taXat ton would be less under the
bond method because much of it would
be paid by future generations. To
this Governor Gates replied that all
generations had their problems.
The bill to allow towns to vote
scholarships in college to deserving
students has been passed by the
house.
That Vermont must take immediate
measures to care for her advanced tu-
berculosis patients either by estab-
fishing a single state institution
using county system of hospitals
was the conclusion reached by all the
speakers at the hearing regarding the
bill introduced by representative
Rowland of Barre city, to provide for
the establishment of county tubercu-
losis hospitals. This plan, which has
proven successful in many states, is
to have county or two or more coun-
ties build a hospital for tuberculosis
patients at cost not to exceed $780,
900, and for the state to pay So per
day ffUr all patients receiving treat
ment in such hospitals.
William Howard Taft, former pres
ident, who is to be in Montpelier
Thursday to address the League to
Enforce Peace, has been invited
through joint resolution Of the SEN
ate and house to address the general
assembly in representative hall at
4.45 in the afternoon of that day.
The bill creating the city of New
nort passed the house Friday without
debate or opposition.
Although two senators and the
chaplain of the senate have died dur
ing the present legislative session,
the first death among the representa-
tives occurred last week when Repre-
sentative William H. Bundy of man
chester died of heart disease Mr.
Bundy was IA years old. The house
adjourned in honor of his memory.
The bill relating to the establish
ment of the militia occasioned a de-
bate in the senate Friday The act
is intended to make the state law con-
form somewhat with the federal law
Senator Villas proposed to amend by
limiting the appropria ton for armor-
les for two years. Senator Proctor
asked to have the measure pass as it
stands because the military authori-
ties wished to put some Of the fea-
Asked by Senator Peck what those
features are which the military au-
thorities wish to to take advantage of
at once, Senator Proctor replied that
he was not at liberty to state. Then
Senator Villas withdrew his amend
ment and the bill was passed.

IMPROVING THE GRASS CROP

With One-half Of New England farm
land in grass and with nine out of ev-
cry ten farmers raising hay, grass is
the most important single crop in the
eastern United States. Even as far
south as Virginia and Maryland, six
out of every ten farmers include this
crop somewhere in the rotation, and
more than one-tenth of the land is al
ways "in sod"
better hay crop is the key to more
profitable farming. When the hay crop
is fortified it is no longer necessary
to feed everything grown on the farm
Often. were all farm products fed on
the farm charged up at full market
price, it would be found that the re-
sulting manure costs many times it's
actual worth Prof. ]. S. Gates of the
government department of agriculture,
says under the changed economic con-
ditions the old doctrine that every
thing grown on the farm should be fed
there, is fallacious. and quite often
costs the farmer pretty sum. Chem
ical fertilizers when prices of the crops
grown warrant liberal application.
fully maintain soil fertility. Especial
ly is this true if the crop grown leaves
in the soil considerable residue of
organic matter"
More Hay Per Acre.
The acres of the average eastern
hay farmer are regrettably low in
yield, so low that many crops are ac-
tually grown at a loss. These low
yields are often caused by allowing the
land to stay too long time in grass.
Still more often the farmer neglects to
feed the crop and yields become small
err and smaller, since Something can
never be made out of nothing" Yet the
