TOWN COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS.

TOWN COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS
Senator Taylor of Windsor county has
introduced a bill authorizing towns TO
vote scholarships in higher educational
institutions. The law would be per-
missive only, and no town would be
Obliged to maintain any scholarships un'
less the voters at March meeting, after
due warning, decided they would IKE to
send one or more of their high school
graduates to Vermont college alta cost
of $50 a year each. Probably not many
towns would so vote, but if any would
like to do so there can be no objection
to giving them the privilege
The bill provides that if scholarships
are voted, the recipients shall be chosen
by representative committee, incIud-
ing the school principal. The student
would be free to choose which college
within the State he would attend. 1t IS
understood that Commissioner Hlllegas
favors the measure.
The suggestion Of this bill did not
come from any of the colleges, but it
must be gratifying to all of them. 1t
would call the attention Of voters to the
institutions and strengthen the ties
of the towns and the colleges OF the
State. If the plan worked to any
extent, it would tend to keep the col
leges democratic, and would demon
strate to possible benefactors the hold
which the institutions have upon the
good will of the Vermont people.
But more than all this measure would
give the chance of higher education tc
some very deserving and promising
students who now find it impossible tC
meet the cost The present State
scholarships, in Mddlebury College al
least, do not begin to go around among
the really needy students.

Salt For Dairy Cows.

From one to two ounces OF salt daily,
in accord with the amount of milk pro-
duced, is sufficient to meet all require
mcnts of dairy COW on rations of Or
binary feeds, according to DR.. b. b.
Forbes of the Ohio experiment sta
ton. In nutrition studies with COWS
milking as much as forty-fve pounds
daily and fed common feeds he found
that one ounce of salt day satisfied
the cows needs.

should be Of additional interest to
farmers since, as in the case of other
legumes, their culture improves the
soil,
As Il pasturage crop this legume Is
rich in protein and is particularly suit
ed for paSturing hogs, especially so
when the beans are grown for soil i'm
provcment. When the plants are young
and tender the hogs will practically eat
the whole of the plant, but after they
become mature and hard and woody
they will not be eaten so readily. BY
planting the same variety at different
dates or by using varieties with differ
ent dates of maturity the grazing may
be extended over a considerable period
Although this crop is chiefly used for
pasturing hogs, all other kinds of live
stock may be pastured on it If desired,

SHELTER FOR SHEEP.
Plans For a Barn Should Include Dry
Floors and Abundance Of Air.

Floors and Abundance Of Air.
1t is impossible to suggest any very
definite sheep barn plans without
knowing under Just what conditions
the barn is to be built In planning
barns or sheds for breeding flock OF
sheep space of ten or twelve square
feet per eve will give sufficient room.
The essentials of shelter for sheep are
% dry floor, (2 good roof, Co an album
dance Of fresh air, a. avoid drafts, (0l
avoid narrow doors ana passages so Il
eve heavy with lamb will not be in
jured. and 90 provide sufficient feed
ing trough space so all the sheep can
eat at the same time.
We find that Il shed twenty-five or
thirty feet wide and as long as neceS-
sary to house the flock gives very good
results at tie Missouri agricultural eX-
pertinent station. 1t should be open on
the south and may be built with feed
trough and feed alley along the north
side. Economy Of rack space may be
secured by the use Of movable racks SO
arranged as to make as many lots as
are needed i'll the shed, These partition
racks can be moved out of the way
whenever wagon is driven in to be
loaded with manure, The shed should
be high enough to afford plenty of loft
room. As we feed baed hay, a loft five
feet high at the caves gives us room
enough to store winters supply for
the flock, but if loose hay is put in and
fed correspondingly more loft room
must be ided.-Professor ii. Hack
