tons within a week occurred this

PROGRESS OF THE
ARMENIAN DRIVE
Campaign Nearly Over and Teams
Busily Working

The campaign to raise funds Tor
relief in the stricken countries of the
Near East is coming on.
Some of the local teams of canvas
sers were handicapped by sickness or
other engagements, but all are at
work now and the prospect of rails
ing the quota for st. Johnsbury with
in the time appointed are good.
St. Johnsbury people have respond
ed generously to all previous drives
and will no doubt attend to this ur-
gent call for assistance with the full
amount requested.
: The committee urge every one to
contribute as they are able. All gifts
are gratefully received. Following are
the excellent reasons for giving to
this cause:
"Q) The efficient and economical
organization, both in America and
Western Asia, of the American Com
mittee.
"2) The geographical extent of
the need, unparalleled condition of
restitution and suffering, and large
number Of people whose deaths could
be prevented by direct and continued
assistance.
"(3) The fact that the American
Committee is the only organization
outside of the Red Crescent CONTROL
ed by the Turkish Government) in a
position to administer this relief.
Several of the local teams have not
had time to go over their territory
but all will make a creditable show
ing by the end Of the campaign next
Sunday night.
The standing of the various teams

kept scrub stock. The final result of
pure-bred sires is that the farmer
makes more money and the city family
gets more and better food, probably at
lower prices.
The crusade, the experts say, eventu-
ally win tend to result in reducing the
cost of living to the consumer without
taking the difference out of the pocket
of the producer. For that reason, they
point out, the city man has definite
money interest in the better sires cru
SADIE. While he can hardly be expect
ed to put the same amount Of effort
into it that the live stock breeder
should, he is expected to give encOur-
agement and aid to the program when
ever the opportunity offers. And there
will be no lack of opportunity, partic-
ularly in the smaller cities and towns
where the farmers are in close con-
tact with the city business men.

FEEDING CORN OR MOLASSES
Both Are Rich in Heat-Produelng Ele-
ments and Relatively Low
in Protein.

Corn and molasses are about the
same in composition. Both are rich
IN carbohydrates, or heat-producing
elements and relatively low in protein.
Molasses is not quite as valuable as
a feed as corn, but when the price of
corn is $35 or $40 per ton, as it is in
some places, and molasses $25 or $50,
the latter is cheaper feed. The dairy
COW may be fed three to five pounds of
molasses daily. More than this tends
to lessen the digestibility of the other
feeds in the ration. MOlasses is very
palatable to the animal and will al
ways produce a sleek coat when fed.
1t can often be used to make unpala-
table roughage most toothsome. There
is difficulty always in feeding mo-
lasses. 1t may be put in the drinking
water or diluted slightly with water
and sprinkled on the roughage or the
grain portion Of the ration.

WATCH WINTER FEED OF cow
Very Easy to Have Grain Ration So
High That It Won't Pay for
Itself in Milk.

The feeding of cows for milk will
need to be watched more closely than
ever this winter. With cows such as
they run, it is very easy to have the
grain ration so high that it will not
pay for itself in milk or cream. A
very successful eastern dairyman
feeds his cows only alfalfa hay and
silage with a very little oilmeal, limit
ing the sllage to 25 pounds a day to
the COW and 20 pounds a day to the
heifer, thus getting them to eat more
alfalfa. He admits that dairymen
feeding grain viii beat him in amount
of milk produced, but says that his
business is turned at greater profit.
Doubtless true-and he is also putting
all his cows into advanced registry.

Uses for Bulletin Boards.
A bulletin board near the front gate
is a big asset, If carefully prepared. In
addition to the name of the farm or
the farm owner, it should state in sim
pie, large type the kinds of produce
for sale and the prices. Some farmers
have found supplementary notices,
placed at a proper distance on either
side of the main bulletin board, very
valuable in calling attention to the lat
ter. Suggested wording for these fol.

There are various ways in which the
farm name can be displayed to the
owners financial advantage. Any farm
will be better remembered by passing
strangers If its name appears in neat
lettering over or beside the main en-
trance or across the face of a barn.
The farmer who possesses an auto
truck-and he is legion these days-is
overlooking splendid advertising OPP
portunity if he does not have the name
of his farm and his special products
neatly lettered on the side of his
vehicle. Then every trip to town is a

The definition of the term "pure-

economy" There are many defini-
tons, many of them learned and long,
that might be written, but the breeding
experts Of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, when they met to
launch the state and national crusade
for "Better Sires-Better Stock"
agreed that the primary meaning of it
is economy.
The scrub hog requires certain

pounds Of pork. The pure-bred or high
grade hog takes the same number of
bushels of corn and makes 800 pounds

cow makes three gallons of milk out
Of the same quantity of silage that the
scrub cow uses to make q gallon and
half of milk. These figures are not
meant to be scientifically exact, of
course, but merely to illustrate the
principle. The result is that the farm

uct.out of his feed when he uses pure
bred sires at the head of his herds and

family lives better. But something
else happens. When he sells more
