Weighing Milk Produced Gives
True Worth of Cow

Reports coming to the United States
Depa1 tment of Agriculture often in
clude stories of the surprises which
cow owners meet with when they
start keeping records of their cows
production. For instance, in Mis-
souri, coW-testing association there
was a man who, when he entered the
association, did not appear to have a
very good herd; but among his cows
was a crippled, ten-year old Jersey
named Goldie Old Goldie led the
whole association, with an annual pro-
duction of approximately $500 pounds
of milk and 526 pounds of fat, and
an income over cost Of feed amounting
to 1857, in spite of the fact that when
the test started she had already gone
three months since freshening. The
amusing part of Goldie's record is thai
her owner tried TO sell her just before
she went on test, for $75. Six months
;ater he refused $275 for her.
The whole herd of which Goldie was
a part averaged over $50 pounds of
fat for the year. In contrast with
this was another herd of 81 cows
N the same association, which he
been reputed to be the best in that
TART Of the State. Yet IA of these
we're sold during the year as un-
profitable, and it seemed likely that
re Of them would be.
Similar stories come from other
States. The Dairy Division has been
giving a great deal of effort to the
extension of cow-testing associations
throughout the country, and there are
now nearly 500 associations in various
States.
The man who joins a cow testing
association never runs the risk of sell
ing a $500 milk producer for $18l
because her appearance is poor, MOI
Of wasting his feedstuffs and work or
good-for-nothing cow because she
looks like good mixer.
1t is both profitable and practicable
to know for a certainty the worth OF
cow by weighing her milk. A mar
in a cow-testing association has The
milk of every cow weighed and tested
once a month; from which it is easy
to calculate the total for a year. He
saves the trouble of doing it himsel1
by having the COW tester do it. The
tester also weighs the feed, and fig
res cut the cost Of the milk; SO thai
at the erd CT year the owner n
herd of cows knows exactly what
each one has given, what she ha.
aten, and h9w much income over cos
of feed she has brought him.

result, 100 people are thrown out of

facture of small boxes for use by
jewelers. and druggists and it has
made large proportion of the boxes

More than 5000 skunk skins along
with many thousands of dollars worth

woods of Vermont and northern New
York were approximately $4,000.
This is the first sale of any magni-
| Hngton this year where as last year
| at this season several sales had TAX
en- place and at one sale $3.50, 1000

ernor Hartness and those who stand
by "Stod" Bates is a question of per-
sonalities, but this paper does not
look at it in that light at all. Bates
stands for certain road policy. A
policy adopted by Gates and contin-
ually developed, but policy which
calls for a "pay-as-you-go" plan OF
building roads of the best material at
hand. Another policy of bonding the
state for several millions and build
ing a hard-surfaced trunk line sys-
tenn of highways has been agitated
and if we interpret the present split
between Governor Hardness and the
friends of Mr.. Bates Alright, it is more
a question of fundamental road policy
than a case of personalities.

The Issue: 'Pay-as- You-GO" or Bonds
(Stanstead. P. O.. JournaN

It is generally understood that the
legislature will pass bill taking the
appointment of state highway COM
missioner out of the hands of the gov
ernor and providing election by the
legislature. The law is drawn to COW
err 1921. Evidently the refusal of
Gov. Hardness to re-appoint S. B.
Bates, set the new law in motion. If
the legislature passes this bill and it
becomes law, it may make Mr..
Bates commissioner; stranger things
have happened. 1t is practically a
fight to the finish between the pres
ent "pay-as-you-go" policy in road
building and a bond issue for the pur-

preparation and also "hguratively"
speaking. The Rutland Herald, ona
of Vermont's strongest and most ably
edited papers, comes out boldly and
effectively against such an appropria-
ton as it's utterances, copied else
where in this paper, show. There is
said to be strong opposition to this

State May Tax Christmas Trees.
Barre Times)

The proposal of the state forestry
department to have a state tax I'M
posed on the slashers Of Christmas
trees in Vermont may go far toward
making up what the farmers ought to
get from the men who come into the
state each year and secure the~little
spruces. 1t is notorious that the
farmers get only minor percentage
Of the cost which the consumer is
asked to pay for the Christmas trees
in the large cities, either through
ignorance of the price which is asked
in the cities or because of the lack
of agreement on a standard price
that seems reasonable.

SUBSCRIPTIONS
SELLING THE PUBLIC

In the past two weeks the mails
have been loaded with tons upon tons
of mail order house spring catalogs.
They make a strong appeal for trade.
Local mails have been the channel
through which these catalogs have
been placed in nearly every home in
this community. The paper wonders
what the local merchant is doing to
offset the appeal these catalogs make
for business. And we also wonder
what resistance the public makes to
the temptation to send their money
out of the community, when it's cir
culation at home would make big
ger, better and buster town and there
fore more prosperity for themselves.
One who has made study of the
whole situation says that our boys
and girls follow the dollars we spend.
In other words, if money is spent out
of the community the boys and girls
must also go out of the community
for opportunity, while money spent
at home creates local opportunity for
our young people. Nothing can be
truer in it's last analysis. Money
makes opportunity and if our money
is sent to some other community
there is where the opportunity for
youth will develop.
We do not believe the average mer-
chant can justly find much fault with
the public for sending away" for it's
merchandise. What is the merchant
doing to keep the trade at home ?
Many merchant is not even inviting
the public to his store; not even max
ing it known in any public way that
he has goods to sell. The wonder is
that more people do not send away.
Probably each Of several great mail
order houses spend more money fol-
advertising in this community than
all the merchants here combined. And

Bates Does Well With the Chance He
Has

Has.
burlington Clipper
Some people talk about Vermont
roads as though "Stod" Bates was
responsible for their condition. That
is carrying the argument little too
far. Commissioner Bates has nothing
to do with the streets in the cities
and villages and then many towns
vote no money to match the state for
extended road improvement. More
fault can rightfully be found with the
system than with Bates. Be fair and
reasonable in criticizing Vermont and
be sure of the facts before placing
the blame.
"Stod" Bates may not be much of
a co-ordinator whatever that means
but he has made some good gravel
roads with the money at his disposal
