THE SHORTHORN.
By F. E. Simpson, West Glover

From the current issue of the Or
leans County Farm Bureau News.
A new era is dawning for Amer
lean Agriculture, necessitating many
changes IN farm management. I'm
doubtedly the greatest change neces-
STATED by new conditions is a vast
Improvement in the breeding of a
more profitable type of livestock
The old regime of cheap grain and
cheap labor has passed. Under the
new conditions none but the most
profitable cattle of the various
breeds should be kept; even then
careful selection of the breed should
be made to meet the particular re-
quirements and conditions of each in
dividual.
1t is useless to labor sixteen
hours a day to produce immense
crops to feed to a class of cattle
that can at best return only a mini
mum profit. Already 6OO,0OO,0OO
acres of range land in the West has
been cut up into farms. Hence,
the future beef supply must come
from the farms to meet the needs of
our ever increasing population. Dew
astated France alone requires one
million cows. 1t is important that
this particular change should sink
into the consciousness of the Yer
mont farmer.
1t was recently pointed out in one
of our farm papers that the milking

Shorthorn has made % per cent
more records in their first eight
years of testing than had a leading
dairy breed in their first eight years,
and more than another dairy breed
had made in their first sixteen years.
Moreover it is for long periods
that the milking Shorthorn excels.
We care little for short records or
for records under abnormal condi-
tions. A milking Shorthorn has
made more than one thousand
pounds of butter in a year.
Since the beginning of agricultural
history, the supremacy of the Short
horn as a profitable beef-maker
has never been challenged. The rec
ords have given were in every
case made by cows of profitable beef
making capacity. Even heifers from
some of them have weighed more
than 1000 lbs. at 10 months of age.
A carload of Shorthorn steers re-
Gently sold for $3.50 per cwt., av-
eraging S308 per head. A load of
yearlings made the worlds record at
Chicago Oct. 3rd. Another load sold
for $3.50 per hundred, live weight.
With the demonstrated dual utility
of the Shorthorn proven over and
over again in their ability to pro-
duce the maximum profit in both
milk and beef, with their priceless
breed heritage of adaptability to
all conditions and all climates, with
generations of unequaled achieve
ments behind them, is it any won
der that they appeal to the American
farmer?

FARM BUREAU NOTES.

From the current issue of the Or
leans County Farm Bureau News.
Prof A L. Smith and the county
agent culled the 81 hens in the flock
of o. NJ Rowell of South Albany the
first of December, and threw out 10
culls. A few days later the ten culls
were killed and canned. Mr.. Rowell
reports that he could find no signs of
eggs when the hens were dressed off
ready for canning. Moral-every
poultry raiser should Gull their hens
another fall. Attend the demonstra-
tions which will be run by the Farm
Bureau and learn how. It's easy,
anyone can learn how.
The boys and girls club work has
made good start during the month
of January. Two clubs were organ
lied in the town of Bloomington, and
clubs will be organized in the towns
of Irasburg, Glover, and Westmore,
during February This is work that
every Farm Bureau member should
be interested in. 1t is a part of the
Farm Bureau, but as yet funds have
not been adequate to hire a special
county club leader to look after this
type of work The boy scouts and
the campfire girls at Albany plan to
do some club work also. Here are
the clubs that have been organized to

FOUNTAINS CAN TOTAL
 THEIR TAX ON SALES

Some confusion as to how the taxes on soft drinks and other articles dis pensed at soda fountains are com puted has resulted from the scarcity of information which has heretofore been available in this community. In absence of other information it has been customary among local dealers to compute the tax on each drink, or other article rather than on the total of any one purchase.
 The internal revenue service has issued bulletin which shows that this method is incorrect. Thus where the tax on 25-cent drink is three cents, if any custom orders and pays for four drinks at the same rate, the tax is not figured as for four distinct drinks but on the actual amount of the purchase, making the tax ten in stead of twelve cents.
 The following statement issued by the revenue service shows the method to be used in computing taxs:
 "The tax is measured by the price for which the food or drink is sold; it is on the actual sale price, at the rate of one cent for each ten cents or fraction thereof of the amount paid for any of the articles mentioned in Section 63O. Each sale for ten cents or less is taxed one cent, and each sale for over ten cents is taxed one cent for each ten cents or fraction thereof of the price. The tax is upon the full amount of the tax paid by the purchaser when the price is paid at one time, though in payment of several articles which are subject to a single transaction of purchase and sale, the total price paid is the unit for con- putting the tax Thus, if the purchaser orders two sodas at the same time, each sold for fifteen cents, the tax is three cents. If, however, he buys one soda for fifteen cents, the tax is two cents, and if he then immediately pur- chases another fifteen-cent drink, the tax is two cents on the second which cannot be treated as part of the first sale. Any means by which separate purchasers pool their order for the purpose of defeating or escaping the tax must be carefully guarded against by the vendor, for it's employment sub jects the purchasers, and the vendor if he connives in it, to penalty of s1,OOO."
