Representative breeders of Guernsey cattle ot the state met April 23 at Montpelier and organized a Vermont Guernsey Breeders' association. Col. Herbert T. Johnson of Bradford was elected president; Elbert C. Tenney of Brattleboro, vice-president; Mark H. Moody of Waterbury, secretary and treasurer ; and Edward R. Andrews of Putney. Dr.. Geo. Chamberlin of South Newbury. Irving W. Bates of East Barre and J. P.

To Widen Maple Sugar Market. State Commissioner of Agriculture E. S. Brigham, of. St. Albans, has been in Montpelier and he consulted with some of the officers of the Vermont Maple Sugar Maker's Association and with Walter H. Crockett of the state publicity department. Mr. Brigham's visit had for its main intent to plan for the publication of a sort of extension to the pamphlets already issued by the Vermont-Maple Sugar Makers' associ ation, which is entitled, "A History of the Vermont Maple Sugar Indus try." H. B Chapin, of Middlesex, and 11. W. Vail, of Randolph, respectively secretary and treasurer of the associa tion were associated with the publica tion already issued. Commissioner Brigham now wishes that Mr. Crockett .should prepare a sort of supplement to this pamphlet which will have for its main object the extension of markets for high grade maple sugar, "arid which will tend to bring the producers and consumers together bv eliminating the middleman. This it is considered will amount to a sort of co-operation between the state department of agri culture, the state publicity department, and the sugar makers association and it is believed that it will do much to extend trade. Mr. Crockett has already received nearly 4,000 requests from several sec tions of the United States asking for lists of dealers from whom goods of standard quality may be "ordered and has also many requests for pamphlets. The following table gives the names and records of the coWs in the Crafts bury testing association which have pro duced more than 40 pounds of butter fat during the period of 30 days ending A T-M I 1 K 1 Ql A AU 1)711.

The name of the Wall Street Journal should not prejudice farmers against the good advice which is offered them in the very able editorial columns of that paper. The Journal points out that in 1909 manufacturers of leather in the United States amounted to 661,000,000. Ten years before the man ufactured output was $361,000,000. Against this demand for leather, the domestic supply of hides and skins of all kinds actually shows a decrease in the decades. No section consumes so much leather in manufactures as New England. Massachusetts alone manu factured $241,000,000 worth of leather goods in the last census year. This is rnore'than 30 per cent of the country's output. But what is New England doing to increase the supply of raw material? There were 1,320.000 head of cattle in New England on Jan. 1, 1914. In 1905 the total was 1,591,000. Massachusetts is the country's great est manufacturer of leather goods, and one of its greatest tanners. Yet New England answers her call for more hides and more leather with a 20 per cent decrease in its cattle since 1905. If the people of New England think they cannot raise corn to feed the cattle let them look at the official records. Their average is far ahead of the whole country. In 1912 average yield of corn per acre in the United States was 29.2 bushels. But New England had an average of 43.1 bush els. Connecticut, with its 50 bushels per acre, led the United States. As the Journal says, it would seem as if cattle, corn and grass should go to gether. New England can produce the feed. Its enormous productive consump tion of leather shows how much it needs the cattle ; while the people of the United States are calling for more meat, milk, butter, as well as shoes and leather goods. With such a need, and such a home market, cannot the farmers of New England find it profit able to raise more livestock? They Flourish on Fodder That Would Go to Waste Without Them. No one knows definitely what it costs to keep the farm flock, by farm flock meaning the small flock, twenty five to seventy-five ewes, on farms from 100 to 300 acres in size. They will clean up much that would other wise go to waste, and they will save much by consuming what should be destroyed. In early spring they will clean the weeds out of the oats, even i helping the oats, some state; they will not hurt the meadows when well started after cutting if not pastured closely, nOr will they hurt the new seeding in the wheat stubble if not kept on too long; lambs can be run in standing corn some time before they find the ears, thus saving the lower leaves that would otherwise go to waste; they may be pastured on the rye in winter; they will clean up any out of the way places, and wherever they go they leave the land richer and with anything like decent handling make their owner money. When we come to proper handling of the farm flock it becomes neces sary to decide what is economical and what is not. The man who raises pure bred sheep for sale for breeding purposes cannot give too good care nor too much attention to feeding He is looking for extraordinary in come from his sheep and to secure 3 n. a os f i Federal quarantine against Maine potatoes, effective August 1 next, has been declared by the department of agriculture, it was announced yester day, because of the prevalence of pow dery scab. After August 1 no common or Irish potatoes can be shipped out of Maine except under regulations of the department of agriculture. The Cheviot is a Scottish breed of sheep and considered by many the most beautiful of all breeds. Chev iots have been bred for over a cen tury in the Cheviot hills of Scot land. They were first brought to this country in 1S38, but not many were brought until much later, and even today not many high class flocks of them are bred on this side. They have undergone wonderful improvement in the last few years, most particularly In the fleece. For mutton form the Cheviot is splen did. And their pure whiteness, alert ness and neatness make them most attractive in a green pasture Their utility and beauty are the reasons for their growing popularity. ' In the current issue of Farm and Fireside appear some interesting facts about education among farmers. The facts and figures presented were dug up by the United States office of farm management. The information was derived from 273 farm owners and 247 tenants. There are many interesting things in this set of figures, but they seem to prove that even without land or inherited property the best educated farmers make the best livings. A contributor to Farm and Fireside reports the death of a hen that she had had for twenty-three years and that seemed to be about two years old at the time she bought her. She estimates that while in her possession this hen laid in the neighborhood of 7,500 eggs. Rarely do representatives of the chicken family attain a greater age than twelve or fifteen years. this the extra attention is necessary. But when it comes to the man who uses no grain, and in ome grass sec tions this is economy, the sheep nat urally are not going to get as much attention. Take the man who has kept a farm flock continuously for a period of ten years, who has cared for his flock in telligently, who has maintained his ewe flock up to fair size, never jump ing to extremes in size, with young etuff of his own breeding; who has learned to know his sheep individually season after season, and who has cull ed closely, who has used good rams, did anybody ever hear him kick, about the sheep business? Every time he will say that sheep are the most de pendable and best profit makers on his farm. The kicker is the careless sheep man, the in and out type, none one year and a lot the next. The flock of laying hens will do much better this winter if they are provided with J a scratching shed hav ing one side open, in which they can work during the warmer hours of the day. It will be surprising how few of the coldest days will not find the hens in this shed hard at work. Both the exercise and the fresh air will con tribute to their health and by doing this will increase their laying capacity Fding Cattle. Vermont's Detective Service Costs Too . Much. State Auditor Horace P. Graham has prepared an interesting and en lightening comparative1 statement of the expenses of the various state departments from July 1, 1901 to July 1, 1913. Most of the departments show a steady but normal increase. The most astounding increase for which the attorney-general is charge able is in the single item of detective service. In 1901 before the office of attorney-general was created the state paid for detective service $651.75. Following the appointment of attorney general it cost under C. C. Pitts in 1907. the sum of $1,945.36. Under Attorney-General J. G. Sargent the detective service cost the state in 1911 $10,595.22. Under Attorney-General R. E. Brown the detective service has jumped so that in 1913 the total sum paid for detective service alone reached the alarming figure of $34,706.19. This development led to a scanning of ac counts and the still more astounding discovery was made that from July 1, 1913 to April 29, 1914. Attorney General Brown had approved detective accounts aggregating no less than $34,930.91, at which rate the total for the fiscal year would reach the aggre gate sum of $46,574.56. It also devel ops that of this total of $34,930.91 spent for detective service during the past nine months no less than $24,451.71 was paid to a single concern, the Wood-Morgan Detective agency. It also transpires that while F. H. Tracy of Montpelier was allowed $1,019.83 for a trip to Europe to get track of a party, the start was made with such a flourish of publicity that naturally the bird had flown and the Wood-Morgan agency was paid nearly half as much to do the work, with results that might be expected with such a handicap. These developments led to further inquiry and it was found that at the beginning of the legislative session in 1912 Governor Fletcher, disturbed by the discovery that Attorney-General Sargent was allowing detective fees to rise at such an alarming rate, was on the point of sending a message to the legislature asking for legislation that would take away the sole power of the attorney-general to regulate this service and provide some check. The attorneys were naturally disturbed, Mr. Stickney being especially solicitous for his friends, but it was finally deemed sufficient that Mr. Brown, who was just entering upon his duties, should say to the governor in the pres ence of Auditor Graham that this detective service should be kept down, with the result that now appears. It is urged that at the present rate this detective service will cost the state as much for the year as would an extra session of the legislature which is so needed, and the opinion is expressed that this development will lead to a vigorous campaign either to abolish the office of attorney-general, created to "save money" for the state or to take away its power over the detec tive service. THE TOILERS. We are so weary of the day, The pressure of the world is great; A thousand things on either hand Demand attention, soon or late. The harvest fields indeed are ripe, And earnest laborers all too few. And we are willing, but we faint Before the long day's toil is through. Oh? let us fold our hands awhile And close our eyes against the light; Let blessed silence balm our ears, Lest all be lost in sudden night After a rest we'll work again, - Please God, with strong and eager hands; With clearer brain and braver heart . We'll meet the stress of life's demands. Emma A. Lente in Farm Jour nal. - ) CALEDONIA COUNTY. At J. W.

The shipment was consigned, it is alleged, to the Italians employed in the Fairbanks scale shops and, inasmuch as the same men had a shipment of ten kegs last week and large quantities at other times, it is thought they have been retailing beer at their camp.
