Vermont Plants.

Some interesting statistics of Vei-
mont plants are sent us from the Yer
mont experiment station. These fig
urcs are taken in part from the new
Flora of the State, published by the
Vermont Botanical club.
According to this publication there
are now 1853 species of ferns and
towering plants known to occur uncul-
tivsted in Vermont. OF these, 70
species are trees, including IL species
of oek, 7 kinds Of maple, 6 poplsrs, d
pines and birches. These are mostly
useful, but there are so species of
weeds, some of which axe pernicious
and promising trouble.
Out of the present census OF 1858
species, 270 have moved into the State
since the country was settled. Many
of them have come mixed with sgricul-
tural seeds, or have been introduced
directly or indirectly by artificial
means. A large proportion of these
new corners are like our American
population, importations from Europe;
and only a minority of 60 or less have
come to Vermont from other States or
from Canada.
1t is interesting to notice how the
number of known species has increased
in recent years. When the first list of
Vermont plants was published by
Cakes in 1912, there were 929 species
known. Torrey's list of 1858 gave
1904, and Perkins list of 1888 gave
1850. In each case some plants were
included by mistake, 30 the increase
since 1883 is more than the difference
between 1868 and 1850. Most of the
additions are of species which have
doubtless been here all the while but
have only recently been discovered. A
few, however, represent species which
have come in during comparatively re-
cent times.
In some ways plant census fur
nishes just as much fun and instruction
as Walter Gates enumeration of the
people living in Vermont.-Vt. Exper-
iment Station.

Young Meat,

Experience has shown that the most
profitable age to finish off cattle is
from twenty to twenty four months.
That applies to the average animal and
breeder, and is pretty safe rule for
weaving, and then they should be fed
as literally as they can of highly con-
centrated food. We are not looking
beyond the year and half period, and
no matter what grave results forced
feeding may have later in life, the ami
mails Sc elected for this purposs should
have it. When sucking, the mothers
must also be fed literally on rich, con-
centrated food.
The whole question of whether cat
tie raised in this way will be profitable
depends largely upon the market one
can send them to. They cannot be
classed with ordinary cattle, but must
seek a special market where fancy
stock Is in demand. In nearly every
large city there are butchers who make
specially of securing fine beef cattle.
They have line of customers who de-
mand better meat than can be found
in the ordinary cattle yards. One must
put himself in touch with this side of
the market to make the most of snch q
specialty.-C. W. Jones, in American
Cultivator.

Profitable Farming.

j. S. Lane, one of Bangor's well
known BARRIERS, is an earnest advocate
of farming as an occupation. He says
that any man who will 60 into farming
with the determination of winning out
and making money and is willing to
work to accomplish his purpose, may
be certain of coming out ahead in the
end. Mr.. Lane first opened barber
shop in Bangor in 1887 and continued
in business until last spring, when he
went upon farm. 1t was in the month
of March that he began work upon the
farm, and his success in the work on
the farm is more than he expected.

Mr.. Lane will be 70 years old in May,

good showing for man of his age and
that it indicates that man younger in
years ought to be able to make first

Mr.. c. M. Scott, 1S4e, Dor
chester, Avenue, Boston, Mass,
tells how he became a strong,
hearty man:
ABOUT two years ago l suffered
from general debility and doubt IL
there was anybody moro utterly
miserable than 1 was. / had no life
or energy, and was as depressed
mentally as l was worn out physi-
cally. 1t was not at all unusual for
me to go to sleep over my work.
My blood was thin and watery, but
the worst oft all was the dreadful,
wearying nervousness at night.
When l retired Mt ten o'clock, instead
OF going to sleep / would toss and
turn till well on into the morning,
and when awoke it was withoutany
feeling OF being refreshed or rested.

TO l22 pounds in weight, and had no
desire for food.

many different kinds of remedies
and had consulted three physicians,
but the little relief they gave was
very brief, 80 was completely dis
couraged. MY friends, however,

begun there was such evident i'm
provement that continued taking

GAMBLING in The CITY
SUPERINTENDENT HYLAND'S STATE
MENT FOR THE POLICE.
He Has Not Sufficient Men at His COM
mand to Spare Details for
Raids This Week.

superintendent of Police Hyland said last
night, regarding gambling. which it is
charged he is permitting during carnival
week to run without molestation:
II don't doubt that there is some gam
bling. / am sure from the meager reports
i have that the newspaper reports are
greatly exaggerated, both as to the number
of games and the manner In which they are
run. The fact is that L nave not enough
men TO take care of the crowds and at the
same time pay attention to the gamblers.
/ know they should be looked after, but
People have an idea we have more men in
this department than we have. Just 10
show you what We are doing. l have here
details for ia men for special work in
places where they are needed. Thirty-five
of these men are at the Orient and the
managers are clamoring for more. This
number does not include ten men whom L
have stationed at Newly Oval during the
evening. | lave Just 108 regular patrolmen
available and have been allowed but TWEEN
ty-eight extra men for this week. If you
can see how l can get after the gamblers
you can see more than 1 can.
You may say for me, however, that they
will be looked after the first time L can
spare enough men TO properly make a raid.
IL takes five or six men and a sergeant TO
each place raided. Right now the way the
streets are crowded 1t would be dangerous
have been placed. You can also say for
me. and make IL strong. that after we get
through with these crowds, as long as L
am at the head of this department there
will be no gambling in Indianapolis. You
may say another thing, and that is that of
fcers will be specially instructed TO watch
for games of any kind. Right at this time
neither the department nor myself deserves
the criticism we are getting from the news
papers. The men are working from fifteen
to twenty hours each day. / think it better
people right at this time than TO endanger
lives by Withdrawing men for a few raids"

Houses Destroyed.

A fire Of unknown origin destroyed the
home OF Thomas Ashley, No. 1880 Ruckle
street, at $50 o'clock yesterday morning
and caused a loss of about $3.50.

part of the house and knew nothing of the
fire until the alarm was sounded outside
after the flames had broken through the
roof. The house burned very rapidly and
little of the furniture was saved. The
Roadway gained by the flames was such
that the fire department had little if any
chance OF saving il.

home and was with difficulty put out. The
fire also spread to the home of Leroy Tenn
