s,INFLowERs FOR sILAGE

Vermont farmers who are thinking
OF trying out a few sunhowers for sill
age this next year will be interested
In the results secured by Messrs. W.
r. and G. F.. Robbins Of Derby, says
John A. Hitchcock, extension special
ist in dairying Of the University OF
Vermont and State Agricultural Ex-
tension Service. Last year they plant
ed three fields; one Of corn alone; one
to corn and sunhowers mixed, and one
TO sunhowers alone.
All the fields were fertiiized alike.
At harvest time measured plots from
the corn and from the sunfiower helds
were weighed and tey found that they
cut 1914 tons per acre from the corn
and 22ls tons per acre from the sun
flowers. The silage was put into the
silo separately from each field and
was fed out through the month OF
January.
During the feeding period the same
amount Of grain and hay was fed with
each kind Of silage. While the COWS
were getting the corn alone during the
first ten days of the month the herd
averaged 41s.7 opunds of milk daily.
While the mixed sunhower and corn
was being fed the average production
was 437.6 and on sunfower silage
alone the cows averaged 454.2 pounds
but when the feed was changed back
again to clear corn silage decided
falling-off occurred.
While one test like this is not con-
elusive il at least indicates that sun
flowe silage is worth trying, especial
Is in the parts Of the state where the
season is too short to mature corn
properly.

JELLY FAILURES MADE A
SUCCESS BY USE OF PECTIN

Jelly which will not "jell" may some
times be reclaimed by the use Of pee
tin A quart Of grape juice wich had
refused to become jelly was recently
brought into the experimental kitchen
Of the Home Economics Office, United
States Department Of Agriculture.
By the addition Of a small amount Of
apple pectin firm, fne-fiavored grape
jelly was obtained. Because Of this
success a whole shelf full Of jelly fail
ures, from which the sample was tax
en-, can now be redeemed.
Food specialists say that knowl-
edge Of the making and use Of pectin
will not only help the housewife In
cases like the foregoing, but will in
crease IN several ways the yield Of
jelly from various fruit juices. Some
fruits, such as strawberries and pears,
do not contain sufficient pectin to
make jelly; pectin must be added.
Other fruits like ounce and grape
contain sufficient pectin, but have
juices that will bear diluting with
water il extra pectin is used, so that
more quarts Of jelly will result.
Pectin may be easily extracted from
apples, also from the citrus fruits, and
kept ready for use with juices that
lack this ingredient.

Of the proceedings and with their

march made TO the cemetery where
there was held the usual exercises,
Music by the band, the speaking Of
pieces by the school girls and boy5,
and tie decorating Of the soldiers
graves and singing Of America by the
Choir. The line Of march was then
resumed to the School Hall where the
marchers were dismissed. The day
being perfect there was a large turn
out of our people and a goodly number
from nearby towns. Our streets were
well lined with spectators who were
orderly and reverent, showing their
respect for the day that in so many
places is often missing. r. R. Har-
rington kindly went with his truck
to Manchester for the American Leg
ion members and took them back later
on. A we'll balanced volunteer choir
sang twice at the church and again at
the cemetery. All in all the day will
long be remembered by our people as
a perfect day"

A PARISHIoNER.
AN APPRECIATION

II is with great regret that we learn
that the Rev. Sidney X. Perkins has
decided to break his connection with
his church here and remove to another
parish. His long faithful services
here are highly appreciated by this
church. Mr.. Perkins came to Man
chester just as the former generation
were beginning to pass on" and dur
ing the eleven years more than 66 Of
the active, devoted church goers have
gone to their reward" He has felt
the loss Of these strong consecrated
men and has redoubled his own efforts
to hold the church up TO the high
standing in the county and state It
has had. His sterling christian char
aeter and ever increasing faith,
straightforward. true, sincere man
hood. have given him a power and in
fuence which will be a great loss 70
our community. He has increasingly
exercised kindness and sympathy as a
pastor in a very marked degree. Also
ne occupies a high position among the
Of Bennington county who
will deplore the loss q bis fellowship
and advice in the Ministers Associa-
tion and County Conference. He Is a
large. broad minded, charitable but
sound Congregationalist

TWELVE HOURS A DAYS WORK
Private Duty Nurses Adopt New
Schedule of Working Hours.

At the annual meeting Of the Yer
mont State Nurses Association held in
Burlington. May rs, after free discus
sion regarding the shortage Of private
duty nurses in the state, the private
duty section adopted the following
measures. Vermont public has been
educated to expect more hours Of ser
vice from the nurse than from women
engaged in any other profession or
occupation. Nursing organizations Of
other states have brought about great
changes in this matter, and our hos
pital graduates flock TO these places.
New York, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut
any many Of the middle and western
states are fed from our training
schools. The one way to encourage
our nurses to stay with us and care
for our own sick is to meet in some
measure the inducements offered by
these states-therefore the private
duty section endorses twelve hour
duty. This does not mean that the
nurses at the end Of twelve continu-
Gus hours of service leaves her pa
tient. 1t does mean that the patient
will have her attention for the twelve
hours (not necessarily continuously
most necessary for the safety and
comfort Of the patient-that the other
twelve hours belong to the nurse.
Should the nurse find it necessary as
in many, many cases she will, to
serve for fourteen or any number Of
hours she will do so as a matter Of
most obvious duty, but it will be un-
derstood that these extra hours of ser
vice are rendered as a duty and pleas
ure, and not as a matter Of purchased
service. Nurses fees remain the
same.

SCHOOL CHILDREN SHOULD
TURN IN THEIR THRIFT CARDS

With a view 70 reminding the
pupils ia the Vermont public schools
that they should turn iB their Thrift
cards and secure War Savings Stamps
before the close of the school year in
order that they may obtain an inter
est bearing Government security,
Ms. GcoCge n. Smile, Vermont diree-
tor Of thgSavings Division, First Fed
eral Reserve District, has written q
personal letter 70 the teachers. With
IN the past few months Mr.. Smile
according 70 William W. I. Squire
educational director of the division
has been accomplishing remarkably
good results with the government
thrift movement. She has secured the
organization Of i67 new societies IN
the schools Of Vermont. with a total
membership Of 1865. The letter 70 the
teachers reads as follows:
aAs the school year is drawing TO a
close am reminded that ! shall not
be able 70 visit you and your pupils
again this year wish TO thank you
for your cooperation in giving 70
your boys and girls this very practical
training in the handling Of their
fnanees.
Il think il would be well to urge
your pupils 10 I'll their thrift cards and
secure their War Savings Stamps u
possible before the close Of the school
wear. The earlier the exchange Is
made the more interest they will re-
ceiye.
"It also occurs TO me that the boys
and girls have an opportunity to work
more during the summer months than
while they are in school, and should
therefore be able 10 add considerably
10 their savings during the vacation
period. VIII you please take this mat
ter up with them? Your personal adj
vice to them would be worth much.
MAY | ask you to leave the Thrift
material and the records Of this year 5
work where It will be easily available
at the beginning Of the next school
year? Any inquiries or requests Tor
material at that time viii be gladly
attended by the Savings Division"

CHARLOTTE had been wande

CHARLOTTE had been wandering
~ about the Office for two weeks. with
vague, half sulky, half -mournful air.
The reason for It all was that she felt
perfectly certain that "the boss" didn 7
like her.
He had been very hand witf, her
for some time, and although she didn't
expect him to bring her bunch OF
flowers every day, she did think he
might be the way he used to be.
Why, before that, he used to smile In
the most pleasant way when he said
good morning, and have a few words to
say now and then during the day.
But lately. he had hardly noticed her,
except to ask her to do something for
him when he wanted It done. Then he
saw her all right.
And at first. when she had done any
thing unusually well. or had put In
something unexpected that he liked, he
used to say THANK you, that's fine, y
in a way that made the whole world
seem to smile.
He didn't make any fuss, but he just
let her know that he was pleased.
And. you know. Charlotte would have
got down on her hands and knees and
tied his shoestrings, almost. after that.
But. now. when she handed him work
he would take 1t. scarcely glance Mt
her. and say quickly: Thanks, very
much ~ and let it go at that.
A Nd so she has been sure that he
n didn't like her. that he wanted tc
get rid Of her. that her work was un-
satisfactory. that--oh. lot of things.
Her work has suffered from her
imaginings, but not quite to that extent
In fact, yesterday morning. as she
sat there at her desk. working bustly
and thinking just as busily. with slight
pout to her under lip. about how much
she could get somewhere else, whether
