The dairyman who wishes to push
his dairy cows for full production
next winter will do well when PLAN
ming his crops for the year to con-
slider growing some mangels, says S.
G. Judd, acting Extension specialist
in dairying of the University of Yer
mont and State Agricultural College.
Experience shows that cows fed
mangels will consume more grain
with consequent heavier production
than when ensilage forms the entire
succulent part of the ration. Man.
gels have a laxative, cooling effect on
the digestive system of the cow and
eliminate much of the danger from
heavy feeding. Mangels are very
valuable in adding that finish and
bloom desired in animals fitted for
sale or exhibition
on Advanced Registry test next win
ter should not fail to grow an album
dant supply of mangels. The exper-
fence of successful feeders proves
their unusual value in the ration for
cows on test.
The varieties most commonly
grown are the Long Red and the
Golden Tankard; the first named be-
ing much the larger variety.
Mangels require a fertile soil and
abundant moisture if they are to re-
turn satisfactory yield. Do not
plant on ground that is very weedy.
The seed bed should be very carefully
prepared and the seed planted as
soon as ground is in fit condition to
terminate the seed. termination is
rather slow. Rate of planting is
eight to IL pounds Of seed per acre.
Under averagesconditions, because of
labor consideration. it is best to plant
in rows % to SO inches apart so a
horse cultivator can be used. Of
course the crop must be thinned aft
er it has started.
Mangels are harvested in the fall
before heavy frost. Tops should be
twisted rather than cut off. The
tops are readily eaten by cattle.
Mangels are often stored in pits in
the field but for our Vermont eli
mate it is best to provide root cell
lar for their storage. Ten to Is tons
of mangels may be grown on an acre
of land.

Pertinent Facts Regarding Bull AS.
sOciatiOns.

The cooperative bull association is
designed for particular purpose,
just as machine is designed to do a
particular kind of work.
Owning a good dairy bull jointly
with a number of your neighbors
does not give you the full benefits of
bull association, because you have
efficient bull service for about two
years only.
A bull association is made up of
three or more blocks, all united In
an organization which provides at a
low cost for the cooperative owner
ship, use and exchange of superior
bulls, and many other advantages
not obtained by members of single
independent blocks.
The bull association gives each
member bull service for six or more
years for his share of the initial cost
of one good bull.
All the members together make the
rules (the constitution and by-laws)
and elect the officers, including a
board of directors.
One member from each block is
elected director.
The business of the association is
handled by the directors. They Sc
lect and buy bulls, arrange for a man
in each block as keeper, provide a
safe and satisfactory place for keep
ing the bull in each block, and are
responsible for keeping the bulls in
vigorous breeding condition.
All the bulls belong to the associa-
ton as whole and not to any sep
arate block. The directors may sell
any bull that becomes unsatisfactory
and replace him with satisfactory
one.
All bulls must be of the same
breed, uniform in type and confor-
nation, and descended from ancest-
ors with average butterfat records of
at least 400 pounds a year.

A Few Plain Words.

Now and then you hear some men,
Der of the Farm Bureau snarling that
the Farm Bureau hasn't done any
thing. He doesn't discriminate be-
tween county, state or national work.
He is generally willing to take in
plenty of territory.
If you were to ask him what he
had done, his jaws would drop in
amazement.
what have paid Cor not paid)
my $40 for" he growls Indignantly,
Hif it isn't to buy results"-in handy
package form as it were.
Point out SO men out Of 100 who
complain about lack Of achievement,
and you can pick out almost that
many from the same group who have
done nothing themselves. This is not
peculiar to the farm bureau, of
course, but it is the bugbear of every
civic, religious, or other organization.
1t is particularly unfortunate in the
instance of the farm bureau, however,
inasmuch as ours is supposed to be
thoroughly cooperative organiza-
ton. There is nothing magical about
cooperation. lacking that name to
an organization won't get us any
where. True cooperation presumes
plain hard work toward common
purpose. 1t doesn't mean that few
members should work, while the rest,
having made contributions, look on.
That $40 ought to be the smallest
thing we contribute! And lest we
forget, there are thousands of our
big spirited committeeman. officers,
and just plain members in this old
Buckeye state whose $40 fee is the
smallest thing they do give. Were it
not for them we could not have
achieved what we have.

The Herd Tomorrow.

Your herd-wilI it grow better or
poorer as the years pass by?
Your herd bull will largely deter
mine this matter.
Poor bulls decrease production.
Good pure-bred bulls may double or
even treble the production of the
future sherd. The value of such bulls
is recognized, but the greatest diff
Guilty has been for the farmer with a
small herd to obtain one.
The cooperative bull association is
solving this problem. Why not for
you? %

GET BEST RESULTS WITH HUN
CRY CHICKS
Proper Rations and Feeding Called
More Important than Luck
Formulas Available.

Chicks ready and waiting when the
next meal comes along are the ones it
pays to raise; getting good poultry
from the hatch is less matter OF
"good luck" thar it is of knowing
how and what to feed, says Prof. FL.
A. D. Leggett of the Poultry Depart
ment of the University of Vermont
and State Agricultural College at
Burlington. Skim milk is considered
so important that it isn't safe to
leave it to each chick as to whether
or not it gets milk. Many peultrymen
dip each chicks beak into milk soon
after it comes from the incubator and
others accomplish the same result by
giving young chicks nothing but milk
to drink. They need no water as
long as they have plenty of milk:
A suitable grain mixture is fed
with bran and grit in the trough the
first day and afterwards with grain
alone in the litter. Successful poul,
try raisers realize the Importance OF
not overlooking, and keep their
chicks always "up and coming" fo1
their next meal.

own one yourself. Why not take the
money that you and four or five Of
your -neighbors spend for bull ser
vice or that you now have INVESTED
in several ordinary bulls and buy

ing the production of your herd
Would not this be a good invest

Other Things to Watch.

Other points to be noted are: Pro
mote health by inducing the chicks
to exercise and keep busy. provide
fine grit and charcoal from the start
keep the water fresh and clean;
make all changes gradually; give
grass range or plenty of green food;
get the chicks out of doors as soon
ais possible; if the chicks fill up on
dry mash, do not exercise. and are
not ready for the grain feeding, re-
move the mash part of the time;
feed moist mash sparingly; feed only
high grade, wholesome feeds.

HOW MANY VEGETABLES IN
SMALL HOME GARDENS?

For home use few vegetables, well
grown, are very much easier for the
gardener than an attempted wide var
iety, especially where available space
is a consideration. A few tomato
plants, half dozen peppers, six egg
plants and a row or two of beans
will make up a nice collection that
will give a splendid return if enough
space is left between plants and the
rows are sufficiently wide apart.
Tomato plants set two feet apart
each way can be made to bear pro-
liically if staked and properly prim-
ed and disbudded; peppers will do
nicely if set one and half feet apart
in the row, and eggplants will need
two feet apart each way. Liberal
quantities of manure must be used
on all these vegetables; beans will
give good crops with half the guam
tity of manure, but liberal allow
ance will give the better results.
To fill a small space full of all the
garden vegetables will mean, neces-
sarily, poor yields, if any at all are
secured.
Intensive gardening does not mean
close planting or failure to supply
ertilizer-intensive gardening means
more than anything else early plant
ing from hotbeds to secure more than
one crop from the same piece of
ground.
Sprinkle commercial fertilizer and
rake or hoe it into the soil when the
plants start into growth not before.
A lot of it is wasted if put on too
early, particularly the soluble nitro
genous fertilizers.

HANDY
MAN FOR FARMERS
New Mounted Motor Can Be Set To
All Sorts of Tasks

The farmers electrical handy man
has made its appearance. 1t is an
ingenious power stand just brought
out by a large electric company. This
power stand consists of a substantial
portable tripod to which is fastened
an electric motor and sufficient num-
Der of pulleys to allow it to be belted
to any sort of farm machine.
At the top of the tripod is casting
which supports the motor, the back
shaft and the housing. The motor is
suspended from the bottom of the
casting.
Altho it may be any one of a num-
Der of standard frames, the motor
may not be rated larger than one
fourth horsepower, or slower speed
than 1140 revolutions per minute. 1t
is possible to use alternating current
motors for any commercial frequency
at 11O or 220 volts, or direct current
motors at 220, 10 or 32 volts.
The entire outfit weighs about sixty
pounds. The casting has "cast-in''
hand grips which are convenient for
carrying the stand about. There are
two pulleys on the back shaft, one
for a two-inch fiat belt, and the other
for 3-S inch round belt. The shaft
of the motor has a grooved pulley
taking a 3-S inch round belt. Two
methods of bracing the stand, to pre-
vent it's creeping when in use, are
provided.

OPERA HOUSE
OFFERINGS

T. Roy Barnes, leading man with
a personality, is opposite Marie Pre-
vost in her latest starring vehicle,
Don't Get Personal" which comes to
the Opera House tomorrow. Since T.
Roy Barnes used to be a magician,
a press agent and a few other things,
it's easy to imagine where he gotehis
compound personality and unusual
talent. He has peculiar mannerisms
that can't be initiated by ordinary ac-
tors.
Dustin Farnum is coming to the
Opera House on Friday in ''The Devil
Within" as Captain Briggs, brutal
skipper of the South seas. He is sup
ported by Nigel De Brulier, Virginia
Valli and Bernard Burning. Mr..
Burning also directed the picture.
This is the second Of series of pic
lures starring Dustin Farnum under
his new contract with William Fox.
Coming! The only Mix-Tom. The
live-wire star of live-wire Western
screen drama. He's always worth
while-except when he's more worth
while. His Fox production on this
visit is "The Big Town Round Up"
It's romance of a lusty young
ranchman and society belle-who
"met by chance, the usual way"
Opening day Saturday. "The Big
Town Roundup" is lively enough to
round up this town.
Agnes Ayres and Jack Holt, popu-
lar Paramount stars, are the featured
players in Bought and Paid For" a
splendid William de Mile production
which will be on view at the Opera
House, Monday and Tuesday. This
is an excellent picture, filled with
drama, emotion and distinct appeal,
and it is well worth seeing.
Wallace Reid's home in Beverly
Hills, near Hollywood, California, re-
sembled a prize fighters training
camp rather than a domicile for
motion picture star during the filming
of "The Worlds Champion" Wally's
latest Paramount vehicle which will
be at the Opera House next Wednes-
day and Thursday.
In this picture Mr.. Reid dons the
gloves and goes through several
rounds with a professional ex-champ,
and it was necessary that he be really
able to hold his own to make the
scenes realistic. The production is
screen adaptation of the popular play
by Thomas Louden and A. E. Thomas
and was filmed under the direction of
Philip E. Rosen. Lois Wilson is lead

Released Christian prisoners from
Korean prisons, where they have been
held by the Japanese, have brought
astonishing tales of secret church
services in prison, with each cell as
pew The Korean Christian takes
his religion and its rites seriously,
especially prayer. But the Japanese
bureaucracy has mot been sympa-
thetic toward Christianity in Korea,
and in virtually all Of the prisons
Koreans are not permitted to worship
together. Yet the prisoners do it.
They designate minister, set time
for service and hold the service,
though the minister is in his cell and
each worshipper in his. At the APP
pointed time for the close of the SER
vice the minister leads in prayer and
every head is bent There is Bible
study also. At regular intervals the
prisoners decide on a chapter to be
studied during a certain period and
announce" it to the class by what
ever telegraphic system they may
have invented. At a stated time the
class meets, with each member in his
own cell. At the close of the meeting
they pray together. In one prison the
leader of the class is Methodist
minister, who is kept in solitary con-
finement, and in the same prison the
class even sings hymns. From his
cell the minister "gives out" hymn
for each service, and at the designat
ed time the whole flock is singing it
silently and in unison.

RELICS FROM EGYPT
interesting New Discoveries on
View in London.
Graves Of courtiers and Royal Ser
wants at Abydos Belong to Date
as UnbelIevably Remote as
5000 Years B. C.

London. Most Intensely interesting
are the relics brought back by Prof.
Flinders Petrie, the great Psychologist,
and his colleagues from the tOmbs
near Abydos. The precious fruits of
last winters search are on view at
University college.
The graves at Abydos were those Of
courters and royal servants of the
first dynasty kings, and the treasures
that were buried with them belong to
date almost unbelievably remote
about 5000 years B. G. These tOmBs
were not known 20 years ago when
Professor Petrie explored the famous
tombs Of the first dynasty kings.
There are hundreds of them, and it is
thought, from the evidence of many
burias at one time, that in those
times the servants Of a king were sac
rifced wholesale on his death.
The bodies were not mummifed but
lying on their sides with their belong
ings round them fnely-made flint
knives, copper tools, and, of special in
terest, pieces used in games. There
are some exquistely carved figures Of
lions in Ivory, probably part Of game
in which these little figures were
pushed along a board in pursuit of
hare. There are delicate copper
needles. perhaps from the stock-in-
trade Of the court dressmaker, and a
great deal Of pottery and vessels in
alabaster, all nearly perfect after 1000
years.
One is struck once more by the evil
dence Of very finished civilization in
the delicacy and refinement of these
implements and decorations brought
from the dark backward and abysm
of time
The exhibition is rich in tablets of
later dynasties from the same site.
One of the eighteenth dynasty is mem
orable because the dead man does not
pray for funeral offerings in the com
mon FORM but only that the gods may
grant him "a heart that is sweet every
day
A great deal of important work was
done also at 0zyrhynkhos notably in
exploration Of the great Roman thea
ter which held 10000 people-one of
the noblest theaters of antiquity.

THE RIVER OF TINE

Oh! the River Of Time is a wonderful
stream,
Its ripling waves II a fanciful dream
Sparkle and flash ike diamonds
agleam.
And the voice of the breeze forever
chants Ger
The mystical songs of an unknown
shore,
Inviting me on toward the sweet
evermore.
The pearly stream deepens the fur
Their it goes,
Giving richest of JOY when tranquil
it flows,
Rejecting the beauty Of Heaven that
glOws,
On its banks there are fields of ex-
quisite flowers,
Where song birds are nesting in
primitive bowers,
With God to protect from the winds
and the showers.
But the River of Time has many a
rift
There are eddies and shoals when
the current is swift,
That scatter and whirl the helpless
drift.
At times there are storms on the
River Of Time
That stir from its depths the silt and
the CRIME,
But God in the storm makes it grand
and sublime,
Though the lightning may flash and
deep thunders roll,
These never dismay the panoplied
soul,
Who follows the beacon that points
to the goal.
This River they say will end in sea,
Boundless and bright through
eternity,
Where eddies and storms will never
more be,
Oh! guide me, dear Lord, to this
haven of rest,
Reserved for the trusting that
home of the blest.
Down the River I'm drifting secure
on its breast.
Now nearing the calm where the
stream meets the sea,
The songs Of exultsnce seem waited
to me,
And I'll soon meet with Him who
trod the Galilee.
