COW PROFITS DOUBLED
Says T. G. Bronson of East Hardwick in
an article on Vermont Cow Testing
Associations in N. E. Homestead.
The New England Homestead of
Sept. 13, contains an article by T. G.
Bronson of East Hardwick, president
of the Vermont Dairyman's association
and quite a noted breeder and dairyman
in this section of Vermont. The
article has ; to do with cow testing
associations and reviews the work of
cow testing in Vermont for the past
three years, declaring that as a result
of testing many dairies have doubled
the profits returned to the owner.
The Monitor is somewhat surprised
not to find the associations of Orleans
county mentioned because Orleans
county leads in cow testing associations.
T. H. Moran of Jericho, who has
charge of cow test associations in this
state under the agricultural depart
ment, writes the Monitor: "Orleans
county has more associations than any
other county in Vermont." Mr. Bron
son says he asked every association in
the state for a summary of their work
but failed to receive replies from
several. Our associations should take
pains to get all the publicity possible.
Mr. Bronson says :
It was the necessity of a large in
come or bankruptcy that compelled
the Danish farmer to adopt improved
methods of dairying and get more
from his cows, which he did through
what is known as the cow testing
association. The cow testing idea has
spread to other European countries,
until there are thousands in Denmark,
Sweden, Norway, Germany, Russia,
Finland and Holland, with a corre
sponding increase of profits. The
reports of American investigators in
Europe show that the influence of the
cow testing associations has had an
uplifting influence on all phases of
iarming. The young people take a
livelier interest in the farm and are
more content to remain in rural com
munities. In the dairies themselves there has
been a steady increase. of production
and a lessening of cost per pound. A
notable instance of this is in the dairy
of August Kinch of Beltaberga,
Sweden. In a herd of 70 cows the
milk yield was 7320 pounds, butter
fat. 245 pounds. Only 28 of these cows
were considered worthy to remain in
the herd. From these 28 the heifers
were raised to build up the herd. Ten

Sunday Morning Fire.
The fire alarm aroused the village
about 7 o'clock Sunday morning and
called the fire companies to the dry
kiln of the tub shop which was ablaze.
It had made such a start on this build
ing that little attempt was made to
save the kiln itself and the attention
of the fire-fighters turned to checking
the flames and preventing its spread
ing to other buildings and the tub shop
itself. The fire was thus kept under
control until it had exhausted itself
and no further damage was done. The
loss is several thousand dollars, the
insurance on this property being over
$2000.

POLITICAL EDUCATION.
It is a source of the ut
most satisfaction to me to have
the privilege and the opportuni
ty to attempt to implant in the
minds of such an undergraduate
body at the formative stage of
their characters and at a most
influential time Id their educa:
tlon patriotic and sound princi
ples of popular government, a
proper appreciation of the ines
timable heritage that we have
received from our ancestors, the
federal constitution and the ne
cessity for using sanity and dis
criminating common sense In the
selection of' remedies .for politi
cal evils and defects in our sys
tem with a view to retaining
the' numerous . benefits of wha
we have Inherited ' and making
progress not by tearing down
what has been proved by hard
experience to be most useful and
to be the realsecret of our pop
ular government, but by build
ing upon this as a foundation.

"Oh, don't I?" cried the old friend,
delighted.
"No," said, the other. "I was look
ing for it in the sitting room. When
did you scratch it out of the family
Bible?" Exchange. '
