Swat The Rooster

The United States Department Of
Agriculture states that over seven
million dollars worth Of eggs are candled
and thrown out each season from MAY
through the hot months and are practi-
ca'ly wasted, simply because the rooster
has not been removed after the Matching
season is over.
Generally speaking, you are all
through breeding during the month of
May, SO why keep the male bird seven
months Tor until next breeding season.
when he is of no use to you? The hens
will lay just as well; they are more quiet;
and if you live in town, the growing does
not annoy your neighbors; last out not
least, you are saving about fifty pounds
of grain per rooster, and, with grain
around four cents per pound, you can
readily see that you are $500 in and
nothing out.
Further advantages are: a better
marketable product, because the eggs
cannot spoil as quickly; more satisfied
customers; also, in home preservation
of eggs they will keep better.
Looking at it from another point of
view, the Extension Service of the Uni
versity of Vermont believes that the
supply of eggs will be greatly increased,
even if no more eggs are produced, just
by stopping the great waste as above
mentioned,
If you want to keep the male bird for
some special breeding qualities that he
may possess, you can easily separate him
from the hens, thereby conserving that
part OF the product in better shape and
do that much good to the country at
least.
Anyway you look at it "Swatting the
Rooster is to your advantage also to
Uncle Sans.

thousands of school children are
marching with them as a part of the
days observance. 1t is altogether
fitting that this is so. These youth
full minds take in the meaning of the
day and there thrills through them
the spirit of loyalty to flag and
country that will blossom into patrio-
tism and make their lives nobler and
more helpful and their love of home
and country strong and true. To-
day we turn from the past to the
present; we bless and honor these old
veterans for saving to US this grand
republic and we turn with love and
pride to the boys of today-who like
the Boys of '61"-are going forth to
battle for the freedom of the world
and the safety of mankind. Soldiers
of the Grand Army, the boys of to-
day are going forth as you went.
They are making the same sacrifice,
meeting the supreme test and we
are glad to think, aye, rejoice to
know, that the sacrifices you made
have been al inspiration to these
boys and the same call to duty
love of country and love of mankind
strengthens and guides them as they
grapple with that iend of despotism
who has cut loose from every bond
of common decency and every tie of
humanity. So today this observance
comes home to us with deeper force.
and in heart and hand we join with
you in
Covering them over those brothers
of ours,
Covering them over with beautiful
flowers"

House Of Correction.

At this institution, the work Of fin
ishing marble was discontinued in
October, 1917. The shop was thor
oughly renovated and a hard wood
floor laid In the building. In Novem-
Der the making of shirts was begun,
as per contract with the Reliance Mfg.
Co., Of Chicago. III. This was quite a
venture. in view Of the fact that there
are so many short time men, but II
has turned out to be a very successful
undertaking. The work Is much bet
ter in every way for the men as it is
dry and clean, while the work on mar
bic was wet. rough and dirty. There
is a great deal less sickness among
the inmates and they do not wear out
the shoes nor the clothing they did
when working on the marble. The
men take very kindly to the shirt
making and are turning out about 100
dozen shirts per day. There was re-
ceived for the work of inmates on
shirts during the month, 1858.

Memorial Day is with US again and
the old veterans once more pay
honor to departed comrades. 1t is
inspiring to see the devotion and
love these "Boys of 81" pay to
those of their number who have
passed On. What a priceless jewel
is memory and what an incentive for
loyalty it is to see these old veterans,
once erect and buoyant with. the
springtime of life, now making sac
rifice and effort to keep fresh the
memory of those who battled with
them for freedom and justice. This
observance comes to us today with a
double meaning. Boys in the full
strength of noble manhood are 60
ing forth to battle today as they did
fifty odd years ago. The spirit of
patriotism and loyalty runs strong
and true in the breasts of these old
veterans and there is not a one of
them but wishes time could turn
backward in its flight and make them
boys again that they might carry
the Stars and Stripes to victory for
a world wide democracy and the
safety Of m%apkind, as they did When
they fought to make men free.
In observing Memorial day the
Grand Army has wisely called the
youth Of the land to take part and

Since Fitzdale has come before the
public as the home of that mother
who has given two sons to her
country on the battleields of France,
there has arose the query where is
Fitzdale? 1t has been commented
upon as being in Essex County and
the inference conveyed that was suf-
ficient reason for it's being so little
known. This is not so, for we know
of places within a short distance of
the state capital that are as little
known throughout the state as Fitz-
dale. We believe as great a query
would be made if the place called
"Adamant' was up for location and
yet "Adamant" in the town of
Calais is within seven miles of Mont
pelier, and is located in the heart Of
the states industrial activities. Fitz-
dale is in the town of Lunenburg
and located there is one of the largest
paper mills in the state. 1t is on
the Connecticut river one of the
most important waterways in New
England, and although Essex County
is located in a far away corner of
the state almost a"No Mans Land"
yet it has within it's bounds some of
those noteworthy things that makes
Vermont and New England famous
and not the least of these is its
patriotism.

The Salvation Army is doing a
grand work on the battle front for
the soldier boys. There is no dem
onstration, no stirring appeals for
help yet they constantly give to the
comfort and care of the soldiers who
remember the many thoughtful
helps given them in the stress of ia
tigue and hardship. The Salvation
Army deserves the support of the
people back home and the Herald
would like to see a nationwide cam
paign to help them in this good
work.

The Herald and News comment
ing upon the Office of Attorney Gen
eral expresses the thought that the
state could get along fairly well
without that office. There are.many
who think the laws of the state are
no more fully or justly carried out
now than formerly by the States
Attorneys, and yet there is little
likelihood the office will be abolished.
