WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY
Klieep ItnlHlnn; In Vermont llcusou
for Km Decline.
(From the Rutland Heiald.)
Almost every person with a broad view
of Industrial possibility Is compelled to
admit that a large part of Vermont's
grazing land Is unfitted for pasturing
cows and practlcnlly all of It Is well
fitted for pnsturlng sheep. "Time was"
when thousands of flocks of sheep roam
ed our uplnnds and sldehlll pnstutcs, get
ting a fnlr subsistence from vegetation
Hint a cow would staive on and yielding
a good profit. Only a small number of
such Hocks are found In the State to
day. The reasons given for the decline nt
the shcpp-rnHng Industry In Veiinont
are numy, but no doubt one ot the most
potent Is the fart that, owing to the
im-hale system of llceiiblng dogs to de
stroy Mocks or to do any other mischief
no sheep farmer may safely count upon
maturing, clipping or slaughtering his
lambs, because any night may see a
pair of worthless dogs looso among his
locks, wtlh n bloody result of loss and
damage that no system of "dog damage,"
slowly nnd unwillingly doled forth by
tho town, enn ever make good.
Fibre and Fabric, commenting on the
scarcity of wool and the decllnn of sheep
ralslng In Now England, has tho follow
ing: It Is sheep-raising as an Industry that
will restore the New Kngland farms, not
ns a by-product, nnd In western Muss.v
chusctts a large tract of hind has been
purchased for excluslvo sheep-raising,
and down In Capo Cod one progressive
farmer is planning an Investment of
SlOo.OiO In tho same business. When car
ried on as un Industry tho dog question
Is not serious, as the secret of success
In our opinion, Is mure In herding than
In any other particular, and with a ne
cessary number of caie takers, the dog
question will not be apt to enter seri
ously Into the new enterprise. y
There Is no big money In a flock of 50
or 00 shrep, turned loose on the farm,
because In this case tln-re Is tho danger
of dogs doing great damage. Hut a flock
of 1,000 to 10,") sheep, properly herded,
Is as safe from dogs In Massachusetts as
It Is In Ohio or New York State or Penn
sylvania, and the profits on this scale ot
sheep farming will be many times that
of any other method in which our aban
doned farm.' could be utilized. The aver
ago weight of fleece would tie close to
live pounds, so that on a 10,000 clip there
would be W,'"0 pounds of wool, worth
around 30 cents a pound as an average.
Tho wool would bring $13,0). Native
lambs would lie In great demand and
f.,0 might be sold each year at n low
estimate at S12,i"J and there would be
&,VJ lambs to keep to Increase the Hock.
At these figures the returns are $27,W)
annually from 10.rm sheep. Four thous
and dollars would safely herd the flock
each year, nnd there would bo a .iuer.il
iniount left for other expenses nnd for
dividends or fixed charges. In live years
our New Kngland ranges nnd hillsides
should be dotted wlh o.OOO.tM) sheep In
stead ot only M0,i as now reported,
and we should produce a clip of 2.1,00O,w)
pounds of wool, Instead of .'l,0O),(n0 pounds
Patriotism and profit can be combined
In this New England Industry, If Intel
llgent men of large or even moderate
means take It up, working on the as
sumption that sheep-raising Is tho In
dustry nnd all other branches nro by
products. Hero are excellent Information and
fine, large, healthy figures, but no Ver
mont farmer, with the profits of scientific
dnlrylng ns certain ns they are to-day
will push thnt Industry Into the back
ground, sell or kill his cows nnd go Into
sheep-raising. Fiist, because there Is
not ns much money In raising sheep as
In dairying; and second, because the Ver
mont winters make the latter Indusry
more than usually uncertain.
The problem for Vermont Is not to
turn the dairy farms of the State Into
great sheep ranches, but to utilize a few
otherwise nearly-worthless Holds for
.sheep pastilles. The GO and 00 sheep
flocks are exactly what the Vermonters
Is mos Interested in. How to make them
practicable, safe and profitable Is tho
problem.
An early step In that direction should
bo the elimination of the woithless d
by stricter enforcement of the licensing
law, then the discontinuance of the piac
tlce of towns paying "dog damage," so
that tho owner of a dog could bo held an
responsible for tho depredations of that
animal as the owner of any other animal.
There Is neither reason, profit nor
further necessity of continuing a prac
tlce which had Its origin In pioneer days
when a dog was ns much of a necessity
aa flocks of sheep.
Vermont needs sheep and wool more
than dogs, to Judge from tho present
prices of mutton and wool. Why not be
gin to regulate the dog?
THU LATE DR. TORRKY.
(From the Rarre Times.)
Tho late Henry Augustus Torrey, as
slstant professor of chemistry In Hnr
vard University, was of that typo of col
lege professor such as his father, Henry
A. P. Torrey, represented In the Univer
sity of Vermont for so many years-
calm, deliberate and lovablo for his stei
ling personality. Tho younger Torrey
also gave evidence of reaching tho samo
eminence In the field of chemistry that
his father reached In the field of
philosophical teaching.

Shedwater Foulard
Silks
Wc cannot too strongly recommend an exam
ination and trial of these new and unusually
worthy silks.
Foulard Silks arc pre-eminently the most favor
ed silk fabric of the season. In fact there never has
heen a litfht silk so perfectly adapted to the needs of
the warm, Summer months.
The principle objection in former years has
been the fact that such Silks would spot with water
and when caught in a light shower, the gown has
been nearly, if not quite ruined.
Now this serious objection has been entirely
overcome and those who depend upon these
Sliedwater Foulards
and thoroughly test their merits will be delighted
with results. Another and possibly the most im
portant fact about these Silks is their very moder
ate cost full 24 inches wide Price 85 cents.
Near one hundred new and beautiful designs
for choice, including the much wanted polka spots
in black, navy blue, Copenhagen blue and many
lighter colors in fashion.
