VERMONT SHEtP PRIZES. " A'ormont-Aitslrnlluii ltloo.l Carries olftlio tiller I'llus In Australia. I From tho American Wuol Reporter. 1 At tho recent shows in New South Wnlo?, Australia, Vermont-Australian, blood has been again highly successful in taking olf many of tho chic, priz.es utidur tho able care of our good tnends, Samuel McCaughey of Coonong sheep run, Thomas Brown it Co. of Tuppul, McFarlnno ot linrooga. Tho Tasninuinn stud ram brooders wero nLu showing some excellent specimens of mixed blood, so that notwithstanding tho beauty and oxccllouco of pure bred Australian, the A ermont has not tho least Idea of losing in tho future tho high place it has won in tho hearts of somo of tho lust brooders in Aus tralia. This is also woll borne out by tho prices pal.l tor somo of tho sheep, both col onial bred and imported by Messrs. Blssell, Morrison and Clark. It is matter for no llttlo regret and sympathy, that tho ship ment sent out by these latter enterprising members of our community should have been reduced by the loss overboard during a storm in the Bay of Biscay of somo four score mi In i .lis. Mcssis, Bissell & Son's 211 rams, imported Vermont, sold at an average of i.'7-l, tho highest price paid being HiO guineas. Oiily one owo was sold out of 22 head and she fetched 10 guineas. Mr. II. D. Clark s shipment of nine rams averaged uu pounds a lioad, highest prlco paid K10 guinea's. Two ow es sold at uver ago ot .t'tio. Mr. F. D. Morrison's lot sold, .12 rams averaged Lllo eacli, lilguest prico .till guineas; U-i ewes averaged I'M each. Iho sensation of tho sales was, however, tho sale of oneot McFarlane's rams, Australian- ormontx, at lioll guineas: six linrooga rains, avernged ."u; six owos, .tlbcacli. There Is no doubt but that McFmianes havo hit upon tho exact "nick" which will prove a mill" of gold to them. A pure Tasmania!! rnm fetched top prico 700 guineas nover paid before in Sidney sheep Miles, and breeders woro ipiito delighted with the results nil nroiuid. A Tiisiii'.itiinu Vermont ciois out of Tas- maulau owo and Vormout ram fetched 310 uineus for one of tho chief sheep stations in New South Wales called Goorianawa. Tho McFarlnno ti.1t) guinea beauty goes to the runs of tho Australian Agricultural company. Mr. S. McCnuglioy mid Mr. 1). McCaughey weie quite free invostors in Messrs. Morrison ,c Clark's imports, and wo trust tho llnamiial results m iv prove ns good us tho spirited action of our esteemed countrymen undoubtedly deserved they should be. Clift of Brecza, another very largo sheep place, also bought, nnd A'erinout blood will soon show in nuny of the best clips. This is ns we foretold long ugo, und our or inout breeders must now be lendy to follow tho path opening out so grandly for well bred sheep.

The Infor mation gat bored from this blank was of no value whatever. Another blank wns Issued, which was sent to tlio listers. This blank wus moro of u success than tho first, jot tho informa tion gathered was very moagre; that per taining to quarries, mines, manufactories, water-power, etc., being ot little value. In tho innttvr of abandoned fnrm, how ever, reporLs wero full, interesting und In structive. This fact determined tho line of investigation for tho lirst year of tho commissioner's service The result of Inquiiios regarding Fo-call od abandoned fnrms Is too well-known to noed repenting. 1 1 is saf o to say that of theso lands there are oUU,000 acres, or about 10 per cont ot the urablo acreage of the State, that aro cither not cultivated at all or only partially cultivated und that could bo bought some months ngo for from iil to .1 an acre. The commissioner admits that portions ot tho abandoned lands are rocky badly located, nud in somo instances worn out. Such mny well ho left to grow up to timber. But tho greater amount is not worn out, nnd enn be made as fruitful ns lands near by, which aro successfully cultivated. ceod $0000, only about ono-thlrd of which can properly bo charged to tho cost ot tuo establishment of the Swedish colonies.

SWEDISH IMMIfilt.VTION. The steps lending up to the consideration of tlio Swedish immigration matter havo already been fully discussed by tho State press. Tlio report speaks in highest terms of tho Swedish immigrants as a fine, strong, healthy body ot men and w onion. They paid their own passage und railroad fares. Tho transportation from railroad stations nnd temporary entcrtuiumeut were supplied by tho people of the towns whero they located. Interpreters, assistants, stationery, nud postolllco stamps (tbjy all wanted to write homo at oncel were furnished by tho commissioner: tho exienso of which was taken from tho .2000 appropriation, nnd w hich ho considered n legitimate expenditure. From this fund was also paid Mr. Nordgreu for four mouths' tuna mid expenses, amounting to a total of $1,2.10. The colony nt AVilniingtou has been a con tinuous success. So with tho Swedes at AVoatou who nre well and huppy. nud hnvo sent for friends to join them. The A'crshlro colony was less successful, but its members romaiu in the Stato und nru doing well.

Town action in making known facilities for special manufacturing industries, and the giving of whatever aid may ho requited to secure proper sites therefor, would great ly assist in causing practical manufacturers, withntnplo backing of capital, to loc.it.' within our borders. In speaking of tho use of the water as a power, tho commissioner refers to the sur prising results obtained by tho utilization of biuall streams under immense falls, mid tho transmitting of their power bv electric ity, which may bring Vermont's wuter power to tho Iront. Our mountains are admirably adapUid for tho utilization of st renins under a heat! pressure of .100 to lt'OO leet.

KHKIiillT HATIX. Tho question of freight is nn Important factor In the establishment of any indus trial enterprise. The mauilfacturoof many heavy articles of low value must bo located on tide wuter, or where competition for freight makes low rates. Probably railroad companies uro no moro or less gruspiug than other companies when opportunity oilers. The fact, however, that railroads aro favor ed by special Stato laws, granting them valuublo franchises, would seem to lie n rea son why they should consider the interests of the lieoplo doing business oil their linos. commissioner is not proparod to soy that they do not tnko this into considera tion, mid it is tlf evident that but fow inniiiifaeturers could thrho reinoto from railroad facilities. It is, however, unfor tunate for tho manufacturer to be so lo cated as to bo subject to ratos In excess of those charged competitors in other sections. To illusttnte: Tho freight rates for textilu fnbrics from Bounlngtou to State Line via Bennington nnd ltuttnud railway, seven miles, nre sovon conts per 100 pounds. From Stato Lino to Troy via Fitchburg railroad, 211 mllos, are eight conts. From Troy to Now York, 155 miles, they aro also seven cents. A bother, uuder tha circumstances, seven cents per 100 pounds for soven milos Is too high u rate, or whether seven cents per 100 pounds for 150 miles is too low, the commissioner, who is not an oxpert In rail road matters, dons uot prejume to suy. TlIK ll.Xl'ENBK. Hegnrdlug tho expense of tho commission tlio report says: Tho cost to tho Stnto has been u trille compared to the sunn expond od for like purposes in other States, not withstanding the llrst cost is proportion utely greater than nitty l expected h-r-aftcr.
