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

an executive committee
Superintendent Bishop of the ad

American Guernsey Cattle club was
present and gave interesting informa

cow of Berwyn, Pa, which now holds
the world's record of all breeds for pro

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

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

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

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.

Meat on the Farm.
There are few animals that Increase
as fast as swine. Starting with a bred
gilt one can soon have hogs enough to
supply the family table with pork, ba
con, hams, sausage, etc. It requires
feed and some pasture to produce
cheap pork, tmt it is worth while for
most farmers to raise their own meat.
Clocklike , regularity in the feeding:
and watering of cattle on full feed Is
of tbe utmost importance. If possible
the same man even should always do
the feeding, and itv is important that
fhi be the most intelligent and trust
worthy man on the farm.
