EARLY MATCHING
A Simple Way for Poultry Own
ers to Profit from High Prices
i'm Fall and Winter.

Early Matching is the secret of
winter egg production, say special
lists in the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture. The pullet that is Matched
early natures early and is ready to
lay eggs in the fall when the supply
is scarcest and prices highest. Chick
ems that are expected to be revenue
producers for their owners later in
the year should be out of their
shells by April 80 at the latest. If
they are properly cared for there
after they will begin to lay eggs at
tie very time that eggs are most
wanted.
To a great extent the poultrymen
of the country have overlooked this
simple fact. For one thing, birds
Matched later in the spring or sum-
mer are not inclined to become
broody until late the following
season and thus an improbable circle
is formed. Each year pullets mature
too late to produ ce in the fall and
winter, and they sit too late for
their offspring to do any better,
The poultryman who wishes to get
really good returns from his flock
must break this circle.
The growing use of incubators has
made this comparatively easier
There is no reason why incubatorE
should not be filled lin March anC
early April and the Matching ovel
before May l. If no incubator i:
available it may be possible to sec
ure broody hens in the neighborhood
That they will repay the trouble anc
expense necessary 20 obtain them, i:
indicated by results at the govern
ment poultry farm in Maryland
There it is not unusual to get a daily
average of one egg for every five
hens throughout the fall and winter
and in some pens the average ha'
been as high as one egg for three
birds. If anything like this percent
age could be obtained on farms, the
ordinary poultry farmer would de
rive real benefit from the high prices
which eggs invariably bring for ;
period of several months.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES

We do not believe it is called for
or would be wise for the state to
bond for the building of highways.
TIE present funds are each year
building good highways and the
work as laid out by Gov. Gates,
while highway commissioner, and
carried on by Commissioner Bates is
each year adding many miles to the
permanent highways, that will even
tually make splendid trunk lines all
through the state. 1t is better, we
think, to continue the present sys-
TEN, rather than bond the state.

1t seems strange there should be
any hesitancy on the part of the
legislature in passing the Durham
marriage law. Surely the state-line
villages in Vermont have won all the
notoriety necessary in conducting
the marriage ceremony la Gretna
Green. The Durham bill requires
non-residents who come to this state
to get married to file their licenses
five days in advance of the cere-
mony. This bill, however, does not
change the present marriage law for
resident Vermonters. The Durham
bill is sensible and just measure
and should become a law. 1t has
passed the legislature but is now
recalled for reconsideration.

There are pacifsts today, there
were in the days of the civil war,
and they have been active ever since
the days o the creation. There are
hot-blooded impuIsive people today
and history is full of their deeds,
even back to the days of Cain and
Abel. Then too, there are those
cool-headed, strong minded men
whose influence counteracts both
these temperaments, and that nation
is blessed where these clear-headed
people rise in a crisis and carry out
this policy of justice and equity.
Uncle Sam has steered the Ship of
State through many troubled waters
by enforcing a policy recognizing
the rights of all parties. Lincoln
did this--the Mason and Sidel af-
fair. where G ,pta"n Wilkes of the
U. S. sIoop San Jacinto in the BAHIA
ma channel took Mason and Slidell,
confederate emissaries to England,
off the Royal Mail steamer Trent.
England demanded their release and
Lincoln recognizing the rights of
neutral powers, and practically in
defiance of the American public, sur
rendered them to England. In do
ing this Lincoln carried out a wise
and far-r' aching policy that in no
way detracted from his purpose Ito
preserve, protect and defend" the
nation. The present crisis between
this country and Germany is some
what parallel but nothing as vital to
the preservation of our government

Indiana has joined the world wide
movement against intoxicants. Gov.
Goodrich has just signed the state
wide prohibition bill making the
state dry after April 2, 1918. This
law prohibits the sale, manufacture,
giving away or advertising of all al
coholic liquors except pure grain
alcohol for chemical and medicinal
use and wine for sacramento use.
This is stringent law and marks
the trend of bubble sentiment
throughout the United States. The
growth of this movement is not con-
fined to the u. S., but is worldwide,
and the civilized world is getting
educated TO it's necessity as the prime
factor in better citizenship.
February is a very busy month
with town officials in Vermont, for
they are at work settling up their
stewardship for the town during
the past year, and in many instances
find results not what they had work
ed for or intended to accomplish.
This is seldom the fault of officials.
They have to confront conditions
that arise which often demand &C
ton contrary tc their plans, and
quite frequently are blamed when it
would have been impossible to act
otherwise. Before judgment is
passed on them, it would be we'll to
look carefully into their work and
consider it from all points, then a
more fair and just appraisal of their
work could be made.
