sheen Hushandry In Vermont

The fame long enjoyed by Vermont for
the production of thoroug Inbred sheep for
breeding purposes was for time OF ma
tcrial benefit to Vermont farmers. II
made Vermont sheep known as far away
as Australia and rendered it possible to
secure enormous prices for fancy bred
animals. In the long run, however, the
era of fabulous incomes from the breed
ing of sheep has undoubtedly worked in
jury TO the farmers of the state as q
whole; for /, served TO blind their eyes To
the advantages leli'hnately belonging 10
the sheep industry in Vermont.
The hllly portions of Vermont are pc
culiarly adapted to sheep grazing and
some sections of the State can he utilized
TO letter advantage in connection with
the sheep Industry than In any other way.
This is particularly true Of the hill farms.
Sheep husbIndry can not only he made to
utilize these lands to good advantage rs

also give them greater fertility and thus
increase their producing capacity and
their value. The breeding of sheep can
also be used to advantage in connection
with dairyng for 1t has been frequently
and c0nclusivcly demonstrated that mix
ed farming is more profitable than SPECIAL
~ farming. taking one year with another.
A strong argument in favor of tine pro-
duction of mutton is that this is the prin-
clpal meat industry in which the farmers
of New England can still compete sue
cessfrny with their Western brethren
Western beef has served to make Eastern
beef something of u drug in market al
though the New England drover has not
utterly disappeared from the scene of his
long and successful period of operations
There is nearly always a good demand IN
the local markets Ter lamb and mutton
and in view of this fact and the extent
Ito which many parts Of this State are
adapted to this industry, the farmers o.
Vermont will do well to devote more at
teution than at present TO sheep nus

cult Court rc-convencs at Brottlcboro Mo-
vember q, and after that the matter of
a decree in foreclosure will still remain to
be disposed of.
The various bills for the reorga nizat ton
OF the Central Vermont railroad which
have been presented in the Legislature at
Montpelier deal merely with the incorpo-
ration of companies to take possession of
and operate the road. provided they can
get it. The property is stll in the hands
of the receivers who are under the direc-
ton of the United States Court. and it
will thus remain until Judge Wheeler
makes his decree. no matter what action
the legislature of Vermont may take in
relation to chartcring railroad compa-
MES. The property can not he taken out
of the hands of the court by the Lcsisla-
ture.
In some cases the court DEGREES strict
foreclosure, which gives posse ssion direct
ly to the hondholders, We believe that
the Central Vermont mcrtsaCc provided
for the sale of the road in case of default
IN the payment of interest. but he this as
IL may Judge Wheeler indicated in his re-
marks during the hearing at Brattleboro.

this is probably what viii take place,
The holders of either the second mort
gage bonds or tho unsecured creditors
would probably have an opportunity to
redeem the property by paying of prior
claims. though this step is Improbable.
When the property is offered for sale the
, first mortgage bondholders will probably
hid it in. but any other combination cf
capitalists may enter the lists so that it is
difficult TO predict with any degree Of GER
ta,rtv whecc the road will go. II IS gem

Trunk will hid more for the property than
any other corporation. 1t is To be hoped
that all the unsecured Indebtedness can

vdral who mortgages real estate, for cN-
ample. the mortSaCce secures priority oi
rights over those who become creditors
without security. and the same law ap-
plies in the case of corporations. The
chances are. therefore. that the unsecured
creditors of the Central Vermont railroad
will he obliged 10 look to the sale of the
property rather than to the Legislature
for the safeguarding Of their interests.
