More Than 1000 Birds Exhibited at City I lall Monlpelicr The first annual poultry, show of the Capital Poultry Association, was held in city hall auditorium last week. More than 1,000 birds were on exhibition, many of them beauties.

These include over 40 varieties. The judges were Louis G. Heller of Brigdeton, N. and D. C.

Rasker of Brattleboro. L. G. Heller on Wednesday evening spoke on the subject of poultry raising and then answered many questions relative to the work. He complimented the officers of the show for having such a successful undertaking for their first effort.

He spoke at length upon the sanitaty coops used. His topic of the evening was "Poultry He said that sour milk was one of the best foods, but one needs a thorough understanding of feeding to get the best results. He referred to the importance of green foods, mentioning sprouted oats. The Mallard wild ducks of U. A.

Woodbury's of Burlington attracted a good deal of attention. Probably as nice a display as given by any'breed was that of the Blue Andalu-sians. Those of W. J. Coates of Calais which won prizes here also took first honors in Boston.

President Wood a few weeks ago swapped cockerels getting the winner of the Barre show, only to see this bird trimmed and the one he originally had take first here. There was a nice display of doves from Karl Forsell's hatchery. The judges spoke complimentary of the high grade of all the birds exhibited there being no culls. They Now Have Bank Accounts and Good Clothes "It's great!" said a longshoreman of Seattle, speaking of "I know a lot of longshoremen that us6d to spend every cent they could get hold of in the saloons and that now have $200 or $300 in the bank. Mr.

James Duncan, sec-I retary of the Central Labor Council in I that city, bears out this testimony. "It is indeed encouraging," he says, to see I men of such crafts as the longshoremen, 1 who were content but a short time ago to walk around during their leisure in overalls, now dressed in such manner as would do credit to bankers. National Guard Vacancies The name of anofher officer, Capt. B. S.

Hyland of Rutland, is being talked of as candidate for the vacancy caused by the promotion of Lt. Col. F. B. Thomas of Montpelier.

Capt. Hyland like Col. Thomas is a veteran of the Spanish War. Capt. Hyland refused promotion to major at different time.

He is considered a very efficient officer. His friends are urging him to permit the use of his name to fill the vacancy as second officer of the regiment. Col. Thomas is a graduate of Norwich University and a lawyer by profession, showed his patriotic spirit in the Spanish War by undergoing an operation in order that he might enlist in Company as a private, and paid his own fare to the headquarters of the regiment at Chickamauga. He earned promotion through Company succeeding Capt.

W. A. Pattee and for five years was its captain. After he was elected major Capt. Pattee again took command of the company.

Major Thomas was promoted until he became senior major. When Col. Dyer resigned he was elected as lieutenant colonel and last week elected colonel. His popularity in the regiment was shown when he ran close to Colonel I. L.

Reeves when the election of an officer to succeed Col. H. T. Johnson occurred a year ago. He is considered an officer who has been made a hard study of military tactics and recognized as one of the best in Vermont militia.

His work at the border was especially praiseworthy. $100 Reward $100 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that sicence has been able to cure in all its stages and that is catarrh.

Boston Harvard college started the second half year Monday with new recruits enrolled in the military sceince course.

It is expected that these men will continue in the Harvard Resreve Officers' Training Corps. The course will continue nder the direction of the military, science department of Harvard with Capt. Constant Cordier, U. S.

in charge. Washington Co. Farm Bureau Association Report for week ending Feb. 10, 1917. This week has been occupied by the Extension School at Berlin.

The Berlin people are to be congratulated upon the success of this institution. In spite of the storm and cold weather it has proved one of the best Schools that have been held in the State this winter. The average attendance in the men's section for the (9) day sessions was 25.5 and 60 came out to the evening lecture on Tuesday. The Home Economics section for the ladies was equally well supported I and well attended. The Bureau conducted several demons trations of the growing of soy beans with silage corn during the past summer.

It was the intention of the County Agent to follow up these demonstrations with feeding tests to ascertain if possible the actual feeding value of this legume. Due to the large amount of figuring and calculation involved it has been possible to carry out only one such feeding demonstration. This has been conducted at the Dodge Brother's Farm and consisted in the following: Six cows were selected for the test and accurate records were kept of their production. The feeding periods were divided into four sections, each of 2 week's duration. The first two periods of two weeks each the cows received constant amounts of corn silage and It was found that during these periods that the cows were losing in production at the rate of 5.1 per cent, every two weeks.

This was due to the fact that the cows were progressing in the lactation period and nearing calving. The next period of two weeks the corn silage was substituted by the corn and soy bean silage, the amount remaining constant throughout the period. The fourth period of two weeks the corn and soy bean silage was maintained inits constant amount and the grain ration was cut one lb. per cow per day which amounted to a 24 1-2 per cent. cut.

We would calculate from the test that the feeding of the soy bean and corn silage will allow us to cut the grain ration at 1 4is j.v i ii l. niitic Luc suagc 1 1 tains 15 per cent, of soy beans by weight as did the crop at Dodge Brothers. Following are several conclusions on the value of soy beans for producing milk: The gain for 2 weeks on 6 cows (due to soy equalled 56 lbs. 5 per cent, milk worth $1.45. 2520 lbs.

of silage containing 390 lbs. soy beans was fed during this period. This would give a feeding value of $7.40 a ton for the soy bean silage alone. During the two weeks that the grain ration was cut a saving of 84 lbs. grain worth $1.73 was made with the cows still producing aDOve normal, figuring on this basis the value of the soy bean silage would be $8.80 per ton.

These values approximate those given by actual analysis and serve as a check upon the feeding demonstration. Having put the question of the feeding value of soy beans to the acid test, then, we can thoroughly recommend their use in connection with the corn for silage. In view of the above values the soy beans furnish is a cheap source of protein that can be raised on the farm. The County Agent is recommending a mixture of 6 quarts of soy beans and 10 qtp. of corn to the acre for silage.

Last year" there were some, over 200 acres of soy beans in the county and 1917 promises several times this amount. F. H. ABBOTT, Countv Agricultural Agent. It Pays To Advertise Ainsworth, who has been in poor health for some time.
