GEESE GOOD GRAZERS.
Geese Raising Is Not Affected by High
Priced Grains-Little Care Needed.

Geese can be raised in small fiocks ON
ductive land, and do not require any
material amount of grain. Low, rough
pasture land, used for pasturing other
stock and containing natural supply
of water offers the best conditions. Many
geese are kept in the South to kill weeds,
especially in the cotton fields, and their
use could well be greatly increased for
this purpose. They are good grazers and
will do well on grass and forage crops
alone, except during the winter months,
when they may be fed largely on avail
able roughage, such as clover, alfalfa
hay, silage, cabbage, mangel-wurzels, or
any waste vegetables. If the grass or
forage is limited, it may be supplement
ed by light feeds of common or home
grown grains.
Geese do not need shelter except during
cold winter weather when open sheds
may be provided. Goslings are not usu-
ally Matched until good pasture is avail
able and need additional food only for a
few weeks. The range of pasture used
either for goslings or for geese should
be large enough so that the grass viii
remain clean, or the stock should be
moved frequently to fresh land. Coops,
or some other dry shelter should
be provided for the young goslings. Geese
are very hardy and free from diseases
and insect pests.

drying, picking, and making jam, have

this work may be done successfully,

A SAFE TEST

For those who are in need of a
remedy for kidney troubles and
backache, it is a good plan to try
Doan's Kidney Pills. They are
strongly recommended by Barre
people.

my kidneys caused me con-
siderable annoyance by irregular
action. The kidney secretions
contained brickdustlike sediment
and were highly colored. l had
such sharp, shooting pains across
my back that they interfered
with my work. / used Doan's
Kidney Pills, and the benefit
they gave me has remained per-
manent."

simply ask for kidney remedy

same that Mr.. Simonds had.

WASHINGTON COUNTY FARM
BUREAU ASSOCIATION.
Notes for Week Ending July II.
The Farm Labor Problem.

Considerable time has been put in this
week in locating farm help for hsying
and in locating places for men who want
TO help in the hay fields. Thirteen farm
laborers, men and boys, have been so
placed. The advertising done by the
Montpelier committee of public safety
along this line has resulted in the locat-
ing Of several who wanted work and sew
eral farmers who wanted help. At pres
ent think it is safe to say that farmers
are pretty well supplied for the haying
season. 1t will help materially in this
work If the farmers wanting day help or
help for short time will notify me by
telephone at once, especially those whose
farms are near Barre or Montpelier,
where they can be supplied from the
number of men willing to 90 out from
the granite works TO help out at this
time. There is, OF course, still call for
men and boys who are willing to take
up farm work for the full season and
by the year. Good places with good pay
can be found for all such applicants. At
the Office of Mr.. Brigham, commissioner
Of agriculture, at st. Adams, large
number of applications have been re.
,eived from men both with and without
farm experience. who want places on
farms. These applications have been
placed with the county agents in the
state. There are in this Office at present
'ome 25 such applications which | will be
Had to submit to any farmers who wish
o correspond with the applicants.

Office Hours.

I wish to call your attention again to
the Office hours of the county agent. The
field work, farm visits and demonstra-
tions take up great deal of the agents
time so that it is impossible for him to
be in the Office more than part of the
time. Wednesday forenoon and Satur-
day all day you will find the agent in
the office. He is also usually in from
7 80 to on other mornings. The tele
phone number is Montpelier 7l4-W, or
call the house at Barre, CTR.

No particular efficiency will be de

tempts to intensity and increase food
production in Vermont.
Vermont produces less cereals and
less meat than the people of the state
consume. We need more corn, oats
and peas We ought 10 produce some
wheat We need more beef, pork and
mutton We need more potatoes. How
are we going to get them?
Meeting in clubs and committees
and donating vacant lots. seeds and
fertilizer is well enough but amateur
gardening and commonplace farming
viii not do the job. How then?
The committee on food production
and conservation, headed by EX-GoY-
ernor Charles w. Gates should have
some funds, raised probably by popu
lar subscription
Prizes might be offered in every
town or every community for the best
acre of potatoes, the best beef crit
ter" the best hog the best stand of
shell corn, the best mutton carcass,
the best field Of produce, The best
garden of assorted produce, or all of
them.
The unit should not be too low and
the prize should not be TOO large, but

privilege of tilling waste lands, to get
producers going along intensified
lines, to stimulate, in every agreeable
and proper fashion, the production of

This could be done without disturb
ing the regular production of the
states farmlands. We should not cur
tail the production of anything that
has food value for man or beast,
but we ought to do little more. We
ought to produce some of the foods
which now come to us from the Mid
die West and the Chicago packing
houses.
We ought to prepare, not only to
live within ourselves, but to he pre-

CALL TO PATRIOTS
Reasons Given FOR Enlistlns in the
U. S. Navy.

James o. Walker, Harry s. Howard,
Charles II. Darling, Theodore s. Peck,
Frederick IL. Wells and d. A. LOOMS
| of Burlington have addressed the fol
lowing open letter to the Patriots OF
Vermont"
In order that the people OF the
state of Vermont especially parents,
may be enlightened as to facts con
corning the y. s. navy and its stand
ings, as to efficiency, opportunity and
morality, we as members Of the Navy
| league, authorize the use OF this letter
by the navy recruiting service TO ac
complish this end.
In ancient days the navy had, TO
express it in homely language, a bad
| name. To the average unenlightened
American that bad name still exists.
1t exists, We are pleased to say,
against the true facts, and parents
now are laboring under the wrong i'm
pressions when they fear TO allow
their sons to enter the navy on ac-
count of its corruptness.
The high standard OF the navy, to-
day has raised it to the highest level
of efficiency and morality. 1t is of
necessity very strict discipline. and
the unruly are weeded out with great
care.
in addition. the opportunities of
fered young men who enter the serv-
ice are very great. Advancement for
the energentic is fast and sure. No
where in the world are men better
taken care of than are Uncle Sans
sailors The first principle of care is
the physique, and our bluejackets
have a remarkable physical endur-
ancc.
THE navy has hospitals at all shore
stations, and also a sick bay on all
ships and this costs each man in the
service 20 cents per month, regardless
of the extent of treatment for sick
ness or injury.
Then comes the mental and moral
training, which is raised to the high
est level. Recreation and sports are
provided for all and the spirit of com
petition is keen in all contests. whet-
her athletic or of service nature.
With these qualifications the navy
goes about training men for naval eff
cheney and the results have been prov
ed by the work of the navy throughout
its most interesting history 1t is
therefore urged that doubling parents
inquire very earnestly into the facts
concerning the navy before condemn
ing it as an unfit place for their sons
to be"

There are so many cases like this

py result that Miss Baez did.
Key West, Fa.,--"I am teacher

The reason Vinol was so successful
in this case is because it is consti-
tutional remedy that goes to the seat
OF trouble. The peptonate OF iron
manganese and glycerophosphates
contained in Vinol euriches and revi-
talizes the blood, while the strength
