Library Notes.

The Orleans library recently had a
gift of nine books from the library
of the late Mrs. Sophie M. Austin.
The Greater Vermont Association
is suggesting that libraries through
out the state make collections of pic
lures, books, etc., dealing with the
early history of their town. In some
states also they are collecting pic
lures of the soldiers who have gone
from their vicinity. If anyone is
willing to give pictures showing
something Of earlier times in "Bar-
ton Landing" or photographs of the
boys who have gone to the war, an
interesting collection might be made.
The library committee will soon
order new books, but owing to the
rise in the cost of paper it will be a
smaller lumber than is usually
bought. Several children have given
books which are much appreciated by
the younger reader. Gifts of chill
dren's books, fiction, magazines, such
as Scribner's, Century, Outlook, In
dependent or any of the standard
ones would be much appreciated and
would help this "small library with a
large circulation"

Lecture Course Opens.

The first number of the lecture
course was given at the opera house,
Thursday evening, and was one of the
finest musical treats given here in a
long time. Although there was not
as much singing as in the concert
given by the Hawaiian players and
singers during the chautauqua sea-
son, the instrumental music was con-
sidered the better of the two. If the
other numbers are as good the course
will be the most popular ever given
here

They must have an abundance of food,
and to maintain the necessary health
to aSSimilate large quantities of food
they must have an abundance of eXer-
else This idea is entirely logical Tur-
keys are large birds, semiwild by ma
ture, possessed of a rowing disposition
and fully capable of taking care Of
themselves. To contine them is to i'm
pose feeling of constraint and worri-
ment, over which they never cease to
fret To do well turkeys must have
range. Only few should be attempted
in confined space, and even then they
will require painstaking care.
Much of the 50 called dad luck in
turkey raising, infertiity, soft shelled
eggs and impaired vigor, is due to i'm
proper feeding. Avoid having the
breeding stock too fat. If they have be
come so during the winter season en-
deavor to reduce them to medium flesh
before the mating season. Oats are one
of the best feeds during the breeding
months, with an occasional feeding of
wheat, corn, barley and ground bone.
Grit, oyster shells and charcoal should
be kept within easy reach of the birds
at all times and plentiful supply of
fresh drinking water,

HUNTER MAY LOSE ARM.

Arthur Houghtaling of Pownal is in
the city hospital at North Adams,
Mass, with a badly mangled arm, the
result of a shooting accident while
hunting rabbits yesterday afternoon. He
had obtained one shot at rabbit and
was hurrying for another opportunity
when he slipped and fell to the ground.
His gun struck the ground in such a
manner that the second Darrell was dis
charged and the contents entered his
left arm. The ligaments were badly
torn and the bones were shattered to
such an extent that the surgeons are
not hopeful of being able to save the
arm.

PARTRIDGEs INVADE TOWN.

A very uncommon sight was witnessed
Monday afternoon when a flock Of lC
or II cartridges was seen only a short
distence from the center of the village
of White River Junction cleaning a
meal in apple trees of frost grapes and
apple tree buds. This unusual sight is
accounted for by the great depth Of the
snow in the woods and the extreme
cold which probably drove the birds
from cover in search of food. A man
approached to within so feet of them be-
fore they flew.

On farms where the hOcks are yardcd

keeping one penncl aloof while the

For fourteen seasons this has been
