TO REVIVE SHEEP-RAISING

Hosea Mann of Brattleboro Plans to Uti-
lie Vermont Hills for This Purpose.
Preparations are now being made by
Hosea Mann of Brattleboro for what
might be termed a revival of sheep rails
ing in Vermont. Mr.. Mann owns about
1900 acres of land in West Dover, extend
ing from West Dover village to Haystack
mountain. This land was originally
owned by Mr.. Mann's father, who began
farming in West Dover 80 years or more
ago. His original farm was much smaller
than the present one, but.he kept buying
land of his neighbors until he owned
about 1900 acres.
The elder Mann took excellent care of
his acres, and today they are in good
state of cultivation. About GOO acres of
this farm comprise pasture, about 600
more have an abundant growth of tim
Der, and the remaining.2 POO or 300 acres
are moving land. There is a good house
on the farm, also several good barns.
For some time Mr.. Mann has been fig
uring as to what plan of carrying on this
farm would yield him the most money,
and he has finally decided that
the farm is best adapted to sheep
raising. In fact he believes it
is one of the few farms in Yer
mont that really are adapted to raising
very large flocks of sheep. 1t is well
watered ami is about six miles from the
railroad.
Mr. Mann's scheme is to stock the farm
in the coming spring with about 500 head
of sheep. He has spent some time in
studying up the question and he believes
! that the Rambouillet breed is the most
desirable breed to raise. They are good
wool producers, make good mutton and
thrive in large nocks. A few native
| sheep will be mixed with the Rambouil-
lets and the number will be allowed to
Increase until it reaches 1000 or 1900, or
whatever number is desired.
Mr.. Mann knows of no reason WHY
| sheep-raising in Vermont cannot be made
to pay. There seems to be tradition
among farmers that sheer cannot be
raised in large flocks success fully on ac-
count of certain diseases but with the
Rambouillet breed there is little or no
danger from this source. Another point
in Mr.. Mann's favor is that he already
owns the land.
Mr.. Mann may have the cooperation in
this work of a Vermonter who is an ex-
tensive sheep breeder and who also has a
brother in Africa who raises immense
| flocks of Rambouillet sheep. lie may
also raise turkeys as a, side issue.-PhU-
nix.

DID You Know THIS ABOUT CAESAR
AND NAPOLEON

AND NAPLEON2
Did you know that the two foremost
figures in the worlds history, Caesar and
Napoleon, were at one time the victims
of insidious nerve weakness and disease !?
Caesar was an epileptic, and the great
Napoleon was the victims of nervous
disorder. The secret of their later WON
derful success lay in the fact that they
used every effort TO be cured of their af-
Elections. Do you for moment suppose
that they could have succeeded If they
had allowed themselves TO remain weak
lings, with exhausted nerves, nervous
debility and strength and energy impair
ed by disease? So 1t Is with men at the
present day. Many young and middle
aged man through over-worl, indiscre-
ton, ignorance. eXcesess and folly has
weakened his nerve power and physical
vigor until he feels himself lacking maI
hoods powers TO cope with the world in
this struggle for success. Remain in
your present condition of weakness. and
failure in all your undertakings is In
3vitable. Follow the examples of
Caesar and Napoleon-get well. get back
your physical and nerve strength, powers
and energy, and the fullest measure of
success in the world will be yours.
Remember that the strong survive and
the weak are forced to the wall. Success
awaits only him who is strong. What is
the great lesson in this for nerve-weak-
ened and physically exhausted men? By
all means get back your health and
strength. Consult some great specialist
who has made the weakness and diseases
of men speciality, like DR.. Greene of "a
Temple Place, Boston, Mass, whose
success in the treatment and cure of this
class of diseases with harmless vegetable
remedies, wonderful in their strengthen
ing and invigorating powers, has made
him the most famous physicians in the
world. You can consult him without
charge and in perfect confidence, either
by calling or writing him about your
case. AS it costs you nothing TO get his
counsel and advice, we advise YOU to
write him at once. lie will tell you Jus {
what to do to be cured of your weak ness.
One of his wonderful medicines, DR..
Groene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, you know to be of worldwide
fame he has discovered other no less
mar velous medicines also, whose vitaliz.
ing, invigoratlng and regenerating effects
will restore you again to perfect man.

THE USE OF SALT.

For many centuries 1t has been the
common belief that salt and much CT
it is necessary to the human system.
Few people are aware that on an aver
age the food we eat contains sufficient
Of the mineral for all ordinary pur-
poses. Many physicians, on the con-
trary, are now tending to the belief
that salt is moderately, if not highly,
deleterious to the system. 1t is true
that certain animals require it in large
quantities, but this Goes not hold good
for the human race Sailors, who are
confined almost entirely to the use of
salty food, suffer ills unspeakable on
long voyages. The use of salt is pure
ly habit, and, although those who
have been addicted to the use of it for
years would undoubtedly suffer if they
were to break off suddenly. there is no
reason why they cannot reform grad
ually. Condiments in any form are
beginning to be generally decried by
the hygienists.

A SIGN OF THE TIMES.


 | It is significant of the times that the gentleman who has just been elected president of Yale university is not a doctor of divinity, or professor of | moral science, but a professor of politi- cal economy, a writer of eminence on the economic side of the greatest com- mercial interest of the country, the rail- | road interest, and for couple of years the commissioner of labor statistics in his state. The Yale corporation has shown it's appreciation of the dominant clements in modern intellectual life, which are closely connected with the marvellous economic changes which have occurred wholly within the cen- tury now so near it's close, and in great part within the last generation or two. For centuries the intellectual progress of the world had little or no connection with industrial movements or commer- cial evolution. The realm of thought and scholarship touched the realm of production and distribution, of the ma terial side of civilization, at few points and then very lightly. With the ex- pansion of business into widening fields, and the increase of men of liberal edu- cation in business pursuits, a growing recognition of the intimate relation be- tween theoretical economics, and prac- tical business, and the change, little short of revolution, that science has made in the subjects and methods of business, and even in the practice of the mechanic arts, there has come about an intimacy of learning and commerce, now signalzed by the election to the presidency of one of the four oldest and greatest of our universities of a profess sor of political economy whose special study has been railroad transportation.

 l Pursuant to the request of Mayor l Farnsworth the directors of the public | library have submitted a report cover ing the period from January 1 to May S1. The report in the main consists of i an appeal for better quarters.
 In this respect the report says:
 This library with hardly an excep- ton has larger circulation than any similar one in the country. It is also the most poorly equipped. Waterbury, Hartford, Springfield, Worcester, Providence, Fall River, Cambridge, Lynn and Lowell all have new build-
 "The inconvenience, to say nothing of the inferior appearance of the pres ent building in it's present state render 1t necessary that steps should be taken in the near future to secure better ac- commodations by extensive changes in and additions to the present building, or the erection of new building"
 In regard to the finances the board has this to say: "The board feels con- tident that the library is administered with an economy which is shown in few, if in any other library"
 The treasurer's report shows that s6,- 4S9.S4 has been expended, leaving @ balance of $7570.26.
 From January to May 31, 2,600 books have been added This is about the number added in corresponding time last year There have been 3,7S0 cards taken out, a gain of 107 and there is also a gain of 107 in the number of books circulated. Sixty lineal feet of double faced bookcases have been add ed.
