Interesting Cow Case.

The Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton at Burlington makes public the
history of an interesting cow case.
The station purchased a herd of IL
cows at Brookticld about a year ago.
A few weeks after their arrival at
Burlington one became sick, cough
ing, breathing unnaturally and fail
ing in flesh. She had come from Il
herd in which tuberculosis had eX-
listed, but did not respond to the tu-
berculin test. AS she gave every
external evidence of tuberculosis the
test was last month applied twice,
double doses of tuberculln being APP
piled, but without the slightest reac-
ton. Last week she was killed and
an autopsy revealed the cause of her
symptoms to be fibrous phthisis, one
lung being consolidated, and Ca
tarrhal bronchitis, both probably the
result of a slight attack of pneuno-
mia contracted when she was shipped
a year ago. This case shows the
utility of the tubcrculin test, and
tends to show that tuberculosis has
existed in this State only a few years,
and that the above named diseases
existed in cases which had the eX-
ternal symptoms of tuberculosis

son of DR.. John d. and Sallie Pow
ers, and was born in Woodstock Jan.
6, 1906, in the house where Mrs.
Justin +. Mackenzie now lives.
1t was his parents intention that
he should follow his fathers profess
sion. but he decided otherwise and
became farmer. Failing health
obliged him to give up this business,
and he went into the comb factory,
near Benefits Mills. Business grew
dull and he started West with stock
of combs. going as far as Michigan,
but returned and disposed OF his
stock to Philo Hatch. He then en-
tered Daniels machine shop, where
he remained twenty years. and was
also employed by a. w. Whitney Il
Co. Since 1875 he has not been en-
gagged in business.
On Jan. s, 1891, he was married
in Hartland to Miss lane Burbank
Carlton, who died Dec. 5, 1864.
Four children, two sons and two
daughters, were born to them. The
daughters. Mrs. John Nj. Currier of
Newport and Mrs. J. Russell Muir

Road Commissioners.

The State Board of Highway
commissioners recently issued a cir
cular which is of interest in view OF
the approaching March meetings.
1t urges on towns the ACCESSIBILITY Of
the reelection of road commissioners
where they have proved themselves
capable and have done satisfactory
work.
The circular says that the custom
OF passing this office around, or of
electlng new man each year, is en-
pensive and tends to greatly retard
the progress of real road improve
ment. Experience should be con-
sidered as valuable an acquisition in
road building as in any other line of
work; and the sooner the idea that
any man can build roads ceases to
prevail the more rapidly will the
highway system of this State be
brought into proper condition. Thou
sands of dollars are annually wasted
in Vermont while new men are ex-
perimenting with the roads. The
law allows towns so desiring to elect
a road commissioner for three years,
but in order to take advantage of this
provision it is necessary that Il vote
to that effect be taken when the
is elected. This was
not clearly understood last year. If
the towns generally took advantage
of this act. it would greatly increase
the amount of permanent work on
the highways.

The Matter OF Roads.

MIR. EDIRoR-In the STANDARD of Feb. 20
there were two articles on roads. Both ar
ticles were harmless ard never should have.
been noticed by written reply; but in the
Standard of Feb. 81 Good Roads" combe,l
out" him troubled with gravel, Road Build
er" by name. In doing So he made par
TALLY successful attempt at being funny
But when he talks about there being MOI
improvement in the roads in the last yea
than during the two previous wears. we call
him down.
Another article by "A Lover of Cool
Roads, also demands our attention. Tn
writer of this article undoubtedly has the
majority of the people with him up to the
time he begins to talk about our present
road commissioner. When he came to him
he should have said nothing. We have
nothing against Mr.. Houghton rs citizen.
We admit that he is worker" but as a
road commissioner we believe him to be Il
failure. We believe 4 road commissioner,
to be success. must maintain good roads
throughout the entire year. Has MI
II. done so! No!
Snow has not concealed in twenty years
at least, such poor, well nigh impassabla
hill roads rs it did last month When thes
roads shall have been repaired then, and not
till then, will be the time to say how much
Mr.. H. has saved the town; There are
many places where bitches, which carry Il
great deal of water through the year. are
much higher than the roadbeds. Nor have
the sluices been properly attended to. We
know of one sluice in particular which hr,
been closed for three years. Water would
run through this sluice every day in til,
year. were it permitted. "A practical road
builder would never allow this condition
even an hour.
According to Mr.. H. there is another in
gredient-brush-whi enters into road
building.
We kick. We have right to. Our taxes
have well nigh doubled in a few years As
they have increased benefits have dimin-
ished in the same ratio. Certainly our roads
are not as good as ey were five years ago.
We do not demand man for road con-
missioner who is noted for the amount OF
manual labor he can himself perform, but
rather man noted for the amount of labor
he can get ont of some one else. We want
a man who will appoint men in the numel
Gus districts to look after the roads in the!I
lespectiv localities. Then We want him to
see 10 it thUt tlrese men appointed do thei,
duty. W. E. MACK.

her society on her master much

A Gran ddaughter Of a Revolutionary
Heroine.

Mrs. Amelia Spaulding, mother
of Mrs. II. L. Burdette. died At the
home of her daughter on Tuesday.
About two weeks ago she fell, frac-
turing her hip, the accident, on ac-
count of her advanced aye, being the
cause of her death. She was 50
years old. She was buried in Groton,
Mass, her birthplace, Mr.. and Mrs.
Burdette accompanying the remains
there on Wednesday.
Mrs. Spaulding was one of fam
lily of thirteen children, all of whom
cnjovcd a fair lease of life. All but
one married, and four lived to celc-
brate their golden wedding. Another
circumstance, which is also quite
unusual, is that three sisters of Mrs.
Spaulding, within the past ten years,
have fallen and broken limbs, though
their injuries did not result fatally.
Mis-. Spaulding was the grand
daughter of Revolutionary heroine,
Mrs. Job Shattuck, one of the patri-
otto women of "Oid Middlesex. "
We quote from Buffers History OF
Groton, Mass:
After the departure of Colonel Pres
cott's regiment of 'minute-men' Mrs Da-
v,d Wright of Pcpperell, Mrs. job Shat
tuck. or Groton. and the neighboring
women, collected at what is now Jewett's
Bridge. over the Nashua, between Pepperell
and Groton. clothed in their absent hlis-
bands apparel. and armed with mlskets,
pitchforks, and such other weapons as they
could find: and having elected Mrs. Wright
their commander. resolutely determined
that no foe to freedom. foreign or domestic
should pass that bridge. For rumors were
rife. that the regulars We're approaching and
frightful stories of slaughter flew rapidly
from place to place, and from house to

New Life of Lincoln.

The first four Lincoln numbers of
McClure's Magazine November to
February, inclusive) are out of print,
although as many as four editions of
a single number have been printed.
1t is impossible for the publishers to
supply subscribers with these num-
bers. Therefore, the Lincoln articles
from these numbers have been re-
printed in one volume, with many
additions in text and pictures. Thi S
volume covers the life of Lincoln up
to the time of the article in McClure's
