IMPROVE THE HOG.

A Matter which Deserves the Attention
Of Progressive Farmers.
II the margin between the price of
corn aud pork remains as great as it
has been during the past year, the in
ference is that the demand for better
class of hogs will be greater than it
has been for number of years. There
will be new herds built up, and ar
engagements made for breeding hogs on
farms where they have been abandoned
for years. Young farmers, casting
about for the most profitable product
of the farm. will not be long in decid-
ing on this branch, rs promising the
greatest and quickest returns for the
money and labor invested. Our OBJ
scrvations force the belief upon us that
farmers for few years have not been
rs careful about adding new blood to
their herds rs they should have been.
and the consequence is their hogs are
not as good as they should be. With
the combination of all breeds that is
convenient to use. they find themselves
possessed of class Of mongrel swine
that are not profitable either for market
or breeding.
Every'step removed from some pure
fountain head makes matters worse.
But even with these things against the
quality Of hogs they bring a good
profit, and should make the farmer feel
able to invest in better stock. And
taking all these things into considera-
ton. we can but think the demand for
pure bred stock will be better in the
near future than for number of years
past. The demand during the past
year has started the current that way,
making an ambition among farmers ia
excel once more in the quality of the
porker. q laudable desire that benefits
the farmer and improves the quality Of
pork given to the consumer. Years
ago it was the opinion among farmers
that all that was required to raise good
hogs was a fine thrifty sire. no regard
being taken as to the breed, for, AS
heard man once say: "A hog is Q
hog. and that is enough" But this i.
not enough. As much attention should
be given to the breeding Of swine as o.
horses or cattle. and in the end they
will be just As profitable. Cor, Western

VOTE.

Too much cannot be said as to the i'm
portance of every Republicans voting at
the coming election, now but a little
more than week away. The State is
aroused, politically, as it has not been
aroused for years; but the enthusiasm
must manifest itself at the polls or it will
amount to nothing practically.
We need not emphasize the importance
to this county and this State of a Repub-
lican victory in November. Everybody
understands that we of this section have
a vital interest in the maintenance of the
protective policy-a result to be reached
only through change of administration.
And we understand, too, that the size of
the majority in Vermont will be likely to
have decided influence on the result in
other States. Further, it is a well-known
fact that thousands of Republicans here
do not ordinarily vote at all. The problem
then, is to get these men out; and let thai
be seen to in every town and in every
school district and the thing we want done
will be an accomplished fact.

attendance. Col. George w. Hooker of
Brattleboro and c.. NJ. Wilds, Esq, of
Middlebury made stirring speeches. Miss
Helen Hill of the Boston school of oratory
gave excellent selections and the band
outdid themselves. The ice cream and
coffee were superior, and the whole affair
very pleasant and interesting.

THE HOME vs. THE FOREIGN MARKET

The great argument of the Democrats
in favor of their proposed free-trade leg
islation is that it will tend to open up to
us the foreign markets for our food pro-
ducts. 1t might do that, but it would
also and more powerfully tend to destroy
the home market for those things. The
Minneapolis Tribune shows up the whole
matter very clearly as follows
In Dusy New England our Western
farmers certainly have sure and profit
able customer. Protection has made New
England what it is, and as long as its
factories are permitted to run it will
grow in wealth and population and con-
sumo increasing quantities of Western
produce. Its yearly consumption of
Northwestern flour exceeds 2,6O0, 900 bar
rels and of grain $4,000 tons. 1t buys
S50, 100000 worth of provisions from the
West every year and S6s, ,000,0 worth
| |of cotton and more than half of the
wool clip of the country is consumed by
the mills OF New England In addition,
' it is large buyer of Western lumber
and coal. The value of American food
products and raw materials consumed in
New England is placed at S3l0,000.0 900 a
year, which is not far below the average
annual value of our total exports of
merchandise to the United Kingdom
Our farmers cannot afford to lose this
profitable customer or to have his pur-
chasing power weakened. In this busy
mart in the northeastern corner of the
country there is a constant demand for
Northwestern produce. Let free trade
silence the whistles of the factories and
rob thousands of willing hands of their
work, and the shipments from North
western farms to New England towns
will gradually decrease.
The idle workingmen will have moth

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Senator Edmunds writes the Republi-
can national committee that the condition
Of his health will not permit him to en-
gage in active campaign work. He adds: :
"All my heart and hopes and wishes are
in the success of our candidates in the
present campaign. For l really think it
is one of the most important crises in the
history of our country, particularly as
regards the material welfare, prosperity
and happiness of the people,
The Senate has rejected the fisheries
treaty, as it ought to have done. The
vote was strictly on party lines.
The Michigan Labor convention last
week did not endorse and adopt the
Democratic State ticket, as the Demo-
Gratis had hoped; and so the Republicans
are sure to carry the State.
1t is hard to tell from the utterances of
third-party orators whether they are the
more solicitous for prohibition or woman
suffrage. Prof. Dickie recently said in a
speech: 81 am profoundly convinced
that for woman to be unrepresented in
the government at this late day in the
nineteenth century is relic of savagery
remaining to US from the age of physical
force more barbarous and more harmful
than the liquor traffic"
1t doesn't appear from the latest Wash
ington reports that there is any very
great surplus in the treasury. Thus one
by one the Democratic excuses for foist-
ing free-trade policy on the country
vanish into thin air

THE GRAND COUNTY RALLY.

The rally to be held here upon the 9th
will be the most notable gathering in the
county for many years.
The residences along the line of march
of the parade at 10 80 a. M, will be dec
Grated with thousands of yards of bunt-
ing and flags.
A very large pavilion is being built in
the park upon the east side of the Epis-
copal church, to seats upon which the
veterans of 1910 of the entire county
have been personally invited.
THE SPEAKERS.
The Hon. Geo. NJ. Dewey of Michigan
enjoys a national reputation as an expo
nent of Republican principles and pop
ular orator.
Albert n Griffin of Kansas is the
chairman of the National Anti-Saloon
Republican committee and has the conf
dence of that portion of the prohibition
lists who believe that the suppression of
saloons will be best promoted by the Re-
publican party.
the Hon. A. W. Beard. State treasurer of
Massachusetts, and it is more than prob
able that he will be present. At the head
of the Republican party in his State, he
stands second to no one in the forceful
and eloquent presentation of the great
governmental questions of the day.
If the committee is unable to secure
Mr.. Beard. an effort is to be made to Sc
cure the Hon. James Hustled, the able,
eloquent and popular ex-speaker of the
New York assembly.
The presence of a large number of
county bands will contribute to the inter-
est of the affair. Come one, come all
and make the occasion one long to be re-
membered.
THE LINE OF MARCH.
The procession will form on Court street.
The line of march will be down Court
street to Green; down Green to Pleasant; !;
up Pleasant to Depot; up Depot to High !;
down High to Seminary; up Seminary to

down Storrs avenue to Academy; down
Academy to Weybridge; down Wey-

march to Academy, thence to Main to
Merchants Row up Merchants Row to
Court street, where the ranks will be
broken.
All organizations that intend to be
present at Middlebury on Monday are
requested to report at once to the mar
shal, Thad NJ. Chapman, in order that
they may be received and assigned places

AN ABLE AGRICULTURAL PAPERS VIEW.
The American Cultivator has never
deemed it wise to advise its readers con-
cerning the subject of party politics. We
believe the resources of this country are
so immense, the intelligence and patriot
ism so great, that no set of politicians,
nor any political party sustained by a
majority of the legal voters, can long
endanger the national prosperity or
check the progress of this broad republic
We do feel concerned, however, in such
proposed tariff legislation as will ruin
millions of farmers by permitting foreign
wool to enter this country free of duty.
while protecting manufacturers of WOOL
ems with 40 per cent duty on foreign
goods. We think 1000, 600 farmers enti-
tied to as much protection at the hands
of the general government as 10000 man
ufacturers. We think hay and potatoes
and other farm produce which untaXed
Canadian farmers can pour in upon us, if
placed upon the free list, are entitled to
fair protection, while rice is protected
under duty of 100 per cent and sugar
6S per cent. We believe in justice to all
classes. Farm products should be pro-
tected until free trade be the rule in every
industry. One class of farmers should
not be crushed under foreign competition,
while another class may bask in the sun
shine of protection--[ American Cultiva-
| tor,
