GREAT SALES ABROAD.

months of the year on the known fig

goods and goods for further manufac-

1914 the exports of the same classes OF
goods amounted to 100000, indi

amount to $2,425, 100000 more than five
years ago.
1t would be interesting to know how
much of this increase is increased vol

simply increase in prices for the same
goods. We must also know the amount
of goods we are importing from other
countries this year before we can de-
termine the balance of trade in our
favor. Evidently it must be large, prob
ably larger than in 1914
The sending of such large value of
goods to outside countries is very pleas
ing but unless we are importing large
quantities this trade will not be perma-
nent. Europe cannot continue to buy
billions of dollars worth of goods from
us and pay for them in cash because
we would soon have it's cash. Without
cash its credit would not be good and
it would soon become an undesirable
customer. Some of this immense trade
must be done on a credit basis for a
time but when Europe has resumed its

is question that good many father,

been able to answer it in a way tC
make conditions any better for the
boys. The plain fact of the matter is
that this town is woefully, yes shame
fully, lacking in its provision for whole
teens.

not yet of age but out of school, who
lack even these opportunities With
them almost every evening it is clear
case of all dressed up and no place
to go' and the inevitable result is that
a good many of them either get into
bad habits or leave town, or both.
Ask the question: "What draws the
young men away from town?'' and the
offhand answer is: because they can
get bigger wages in other places" But
letters from youths who have gone to
larger communities to work do not
prove the truth of this reply. In many
eases these letters emphasize less the
matter of wages than that of facilities
for recreation. "This is sure some
town" one boy writes to his chum
back home. % There is plenty of work
and all kinds of chances to play after
wards-bowling alleys, a big gymnasi
UNI, swimming pool, etc. And as like
as not the chum back home decides to
join his more venturesome friend in the
town where he can play as well as work.
Thus it may be seen that the question
has its practical as well as its ethical
side. And by appealing to both it
would seem as if it were possible for
Brattleboro to find a solution of the
problem. As to just what form the So

Notes.

Ground fiaxseed is an excellent sub
stitute for butter fat to be fed to
calves. Use heaping teaspoonful to
every feed of milk while the calf is
from two to six weeks old, provided
you are feeding skim-milk.
As the calf grows older gradually
increase GaXseed meal ration until
the calf is getting about a heaplng
tablespoonful with each feed. This
may be mixed with the milk, but new
err mix corn-meal or any other ground
feed that contains a good deal Of
starch with the milk, as that is apt
to produce scours.
Starchy foods must be mixed with
saliva before digestion takes places
and anything that Is drunk with the
milk does not become thus mixed
and consequently it fails TO become
digested and acts as an irritant TO
the alimentary tract.
