Grange Notes
At the grange meeting March 9th
E. L. Alexander, Carl Bean, president
of the Orleans County Holstein Breed
ers association, and W. Arthur Simp-
son of Lyndonville, secretary of the
Milking Shorthorn Club of America,
have been engaged to speak on how
TO breed, feed and grow high priced
calves, young cattle and cows,
There is a vast difference in the
correct feeding and management of
the different breeds as well as some
difference in the method of breeding
Especially is this true in the grow
ing OF calves and heifers into cows
of the most profitable producers of
the various breeds, i. e. the feed and
method necessary to produce a Hol-
stein of the highest value would be
absolutely impossible in the raising
CT Jerseys Hence each breeder will
speak for his particular breed. These
men are not college professors but
men who have achieved success in ac-
tual practice building up herds of i'm
menSe value while the success of
many Of our theorists depends upon
the size OF the appropriation he re-
eelveS from the state and the amount
of printers ink used
As our state college by the method
employed IN the college held at Bur
Hngton has done absolutely nothing
to demonstrate in actual practice the
value Of breeding profitable herds
OF pedigreed cattle, it remains for the
grange to take up this work and carry
1t to successful conclusion.
The selling of grade cows in the
Middle west at prices ranging from
$3.50 to $500 should arouse the Yer
mont farmer to the fact that he can
breed as profitable a type if he will
only correctly apply the fundamental
principles of feeding and breeding.
It is hoped that every young gran
ger will be present as he will have the
privilege Of asking questions of these
men who have demonstrated the value
of accurate methods.
This program will be followed by a
candy pull in charge of C.. P. Bean
and Lola Clark. Social hour in
charge of Grace Buck.
All members of grange families are
invited
Much credit is due Bessie Stone
for the lively social hour all so much
enjoyed at the last meeting which was
due to her untiring efforts.
