Orleans County Farmers Buy Better
Sires
A . total of 58 registered bulls of
high quality placed at the head of
Orleans County herds during the
past year gives an indication of what
can be accomplished in. the way of
the development of better dairying
through organized community effort.
These results wiere . secured through
the efforts of local committeemen of
the Orleans'" County Farm Bureau
under .the .leadership of the county
agent and; Carl W. Bean of. Glover,
jiiairman of the County Dairy com
mittee.. '
' Reports -received by John A. Hitch
cock, specialist in dairying of the
gricultural Extension service of the!
University of Vermont, show that in
oractically every case these pur's bred
animals frave -been introduced on
farms where, hitherto nothing but
scrub stock has been bred. In the
few instances whese this is not the
case a first class registered sire has
replaced one of inferior breeding.
It is difficult to estimate the tre
mendous benefit which will be receiv
ed by these farmers who have taken
?uch a decided forward step in their
dairying operations, and by the dairy
industry of the region as a whole.
It can be -said, however, that the in
troduction of these valuable breeding
animals and the campaign Of educa
tion through which they were placed
mean increased efficiency and increas
ed profit ir the. farming operations
of the men concerned. The. founda
tion of profitable dairying is profit

Farm Bureau by getting down to fun

on a firm foundation

Farm Account Books at Farm Bureau
Office
By studying your own recdrd
and comparing it with the records of
successful farms, you can see where
your farm is weak and take measures
to strengthen it.
Out of 130 Vermont farmers who
kept farm . account .books last year,
two of them lost between $200 and
$300 each; 29. made about $282 each;
31. made about $762 each, while only
13 made as high as $2400 each: Be
fore keeping records of their farm
business, these farmers did not know
how they stood with regard to their
neighbors. Now they are in a posi
tion to study their farm business care
fully; they know what it is that is
holding down their income and how to
plug up the leak.
Of course you want to increase,
jm "W
your income it you can. Jiiveryone
wants to make more money. One of
the easiest ways is to keep a farm ac
count book, study your' farm business
and locate the leaks. A simple farm
account book will be supplied you at
a cost by your county agent. Get one
and start it January 1st, 1921. It
will be one of the best paying pro
positions you ever started. Both
your county agent and Mr. (M P. Ras
mussen, Farm Management specialist
of the Agricultural Extension Service
at Burlington will be glad to help you
get started. At the end of the year,
you will be assisted in summarizing
your book and shown how to study
it. Don't delay. Get your book now,
take your inventory while you are not
so rushed with work and find out
where you really stand and "why.

Representative Earrows of Barton,
as chairman of "che house committee
on penal . instituti ons, is making a vis
it of such institutions throughout the
state in orde: to intelligently rapcri
on their condition and to recommend
wise legislation concerning them.
So far as the legislature" is con
cerned Armistice day, November 11,
is now a legal holiday in Vermont,
only" needing the 'signature of the
governor. An effort was made by Mr.
Ballou of Chester in the house ovhen
the measure came up for passage,
to defeat it, but it was ably defend
ed by Mr. Wishart of Barre city, Mr.
Chase of' Bennington and Mr.. Cush
man of Rochester, and passed by a
good majority. Other measures pass
ed in the houe were II. 34, relating
to the powers of officers and commis
sioners in other states to take dis
positions for this state; and H. 53,
giving a judge more discretionary
powers in sentencing, for burglary.
Miss Beard of Orange, the only
woman member of the legislature was
heard twice last week. She seconded
the nomination of Judge Wilson and
introduced House bill No. 57, relat
ing to aid to widowed or deserted
mothers. Aids to those mothers who
may receive help for support of a
child; one whose husband is physical
ly incapacitated from earning a live
lihood or is confined ' in a hospital,
sanitarium or other institution; also
provides for further technical contin
gencies. Next week is "ladies' week" in
Montpelier. On Tuesday" afternoon
the wives of local representatives and
senators hold a reception, on Wednes
day afternoon the wife of Governor
Hartness entertains, and on Thursday
afternoon the wives of the state offi
cers entertain.
Of the bills introduced, probably
Mr. O'Brien's lump salary bill has
drawn the' most attention. It allows
the presiding officers of each house
$800 and all members $500 for the ses-,
sion, no matter how long. Opponents
combat, it on the ground that it
means a raise of virtually $100 to
each member, averaging the length
of recent sessions. Another-bill in
volving considerable interest is H-7,
a bill to raise the salary of justices
of the supreme court from $4,000 to
$6,000 and $6,500 annually. The cus
tomary dog license bill, hedgehog
bounty bill, bill to change the name of
Snake Wallow to Wren s Paradise,
etc., have already appeared.
Bills passed in one body or the oth

The Passing of the Old Covenant
Mr. Editor:
As there has been much said on the
Sabbath question and if yoi will give
me space in your valuable paper, I
will try and give my views on the
subject. Is the old Decalogue bind
ing on Christians ? I answer, "No."
Now I will try and prove it.
In Jeremiah 31:31. we read: "Be
hold the days come, saith the Lord,
that Iwill make a new covenant with
the house of Israel, and with tViA
house of JudSh." This is a proohesv
that there should be a new covenant.
and in the 8th chapter of Hebrews
you will find Paul says that God found
fault with the first . covenant and in
the last verse it reads: MIn that he
saith, a new covenant, he hath made
the first old. Now that which decav-
eth and waxeth old is ready to van
ish away." So you see there was a
new covenant made.
Now we want to know what the
covenant is. Please turn to Exodus,
the 34th chapter, the 27th and 28th
verses and you will find the Ten Com
mandments were the covenant, and in
ueut., 9th chapter, commencing at
the 9th verse and down through to the
18th verse you will find the covenant
is the Ten Commandments. So we
have proved that the covenant is the
Ten Commandments and that there
was a new covenant made, so we are
not bound by the old covenant, the
Ten Commandments.
Now if you will turn to II Cor., 3rd
chapter, and read the whole of it and
please note the 17th verse, you will
see that Paul is speaking of the Ten
Commandments; you will see by the
readiner of "this chanter., that the old
covenant is done away with and we
are to live under the new. Now where
in the new testament is there any
command to keep the seventh day as
the Sabbath?
