market is well supplied although good
share of the receipts is for export Re-
ceipts for the week include 800 cars for

SWIFT ACTION.

Constantinople Nov. 15.-In view
of the obstacles placed in the way of
Consul General Dickinson by the Bull
garian authorities regarding the ran
som of Miss Stone, Spencer Eddy,
secretary of the United States lega-
ton, visited M. Gueschotf, the Bull
garian agent now here, and made
strong representations in which he
urged M. Gueschoff to telegraph his
government to end the present state
of affairs in the interest of speedy
solution of the matter.
Sofia, Nov. 15.-Miss Stone and
Madame Tsilka are now said to be oc-
cupying hut in village in southern
Bulgaria, to which they are closely
confined. There is reason to believe
the conference committee held at
DubnitZa, favored reduction of the
exaggerated ransom demanded and as
soon as the sum comes within range
of the funds at the disposal of Consul
General Dickinson he is ready to seal
the proposal. Ess 1@-1s
Paris, Nov. 15.-The Turkish gov
eminent is much exercised over the
report that two American girls, nam
ed Delaney and Stebon have started
for Turkey with the idea of getting
captured by brigands in a manner sim
liar to the case of Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone The Turkish legation here
has received despatch instructing
the officials to investigate the matter
and endeavor to ascertain the girls
whereabouts, as it is thought they
will pass through Paris.
A despatch from Philadelphia, pub
lished here Nov. 2, announced that
two girls, Kate Boyle and Flora Pres
ton had started for Macedonia with
the idea of getting abducted by bri-
gand. Possibly this was the origin
of the Porte's perturbation.
Washington, Nov. 15.-Acording to
a despatch received by the State de-
partment today Consul Dickinson is
still negotiating with the brigands for
Miss Stones release in Bulgaria.
Dickinson says that he has located the
missionary's captors and he has con-
WINGED them that the ransom of $40, 600
is too much. There is no confirma-
ton of the morning report that Miss
Stone and Nine. Tsilka will be re-
leased today.

COW on earth can consume the prod
uct of an acre of ground in year
Mr.. Gurler feeds about fifty pounds
of silage per day, which for 800 days
would give little over nine tons of
silage. He says that he cannot figure
out how man can profitably pasture
COWS on land worth 800 per acre. He
does indeed use some pasturage, but
the area devoted to pasturage with him
becoming less every year. He declares
that following the pasture and
meadow system it requires three acres
to a COW. This means $500 worth of
land devoted to the maintenance of
one animal. At six per cent this
means $1S per year in interest. By
following the plan that permits one
COW to be fed from one acre the inter-
est on 5000 is saved, and this is S12 on
each COW. This summer Mr.. Gurler
ran out of silage and had to use other
feed. He says that the amount of loss
to him Twas enough to have built a
silo. He regrets that this coming
year he will not have enough silage
to run through the whole twelve
months, but he will erect new silos
next year i'll an attempt to have his
silo capacity keep up with the in
creasing number of his COWS. About
40 COWS are now being MIXED, and
this number would be 40 had it not
been that many of his COWS dried up
when the silage gave out this summer.
Mr.. Gurler is at the present time
feeding new silage, as is his custom
each year. The thoroughly ripened
silage is, however, better, and Mr.
Gurler says that he always loses mon
ely when his COWS pass from old to new
silage. From this one is led to infer
that the digestibility of the silage is
increased by the partial fermentation
that it undergoes. This adds money
value to it, While it is true that the
silo adds no material to the silage it
is doubtless true that it does render
the food elements more available,
which is exactly the same thing as
adding material to it.-Exchange

warm enough so that the temperature
will reach 60 degrees during the warm
part of the day. OF course sheep
must have plenty of fresh air, but be
sure that drafts do not strike them.
Let the lambs run out i'll the yard
as much as possible, and when old

by themselves and give them corn
meal bran and all the silage they will
eat. By this treatment the lambs will
be ready for early spring market. -

THE d. A. PERRY AGENCY

One of the representative establish
ments of Central Vremont is the ID.
A. Perry Real Estate Agency of
Barre. The business was established
in April, 1898, in small Office in the
old Miles block, but for the past year
and a half has been located in it's
present commodious quarters in the
Gordon block.
The individual members of the firm
are Daniel A. and Clyde w. Perry.
Although embarking in business while
mere youths, with a limited capital
and slight business experience, by q
uniform system of fair and honorable
dealing, ever accompanied by proper
amount of push, they have built up
business i'll their line second to none
in the State
The real estate sales made through
this agency in its comparatively short
existence aggregate over one quarter
of a million dollars, and the sales the
past six months have averaged over
S12, 600 per month. All kinds of real
estate, including farm and city prop
erty, are handled, and the large and
varied list of properties on their list is
surely an advantage to those who
wish to buy, while those DESTROYS of
selling property get the benefit of
their extensive advertising gratis as
all sales are made ON commission with
no expense to owner unless sale is
made.
Rents and collections are also i'm
| portant features in their business and
parties with tenements to rent find it
to their advantage to place them with
this agency, as they do an extensive
business III this line and their rates for
renting property are extremely low.
\ recent enterprising venture with
this firm is the issuing of mammoth
descriptive circular in sufficient num-
bers to blanket Washington county
and parts of adjacent counties, in
which 5000, 600 worth of property is
advertised. The circular will be
mailed to any address upon applica-
ton.
People who approach this firm from
business or social standpoint may
rest assured of courteous treatment.
Being thoroughly reliable and re-
sponsible i'll all their business deal
ings, they justly deserve the marked
success which has attended their we'll
directed efforts.

PROFIT IN RAISING SHEEP.

The first essential in sheep husbandry
is to have large, warm, dry base
ment facing the south and east. The
sunlight can get into this and be of
untold benefit in keeping the sheep
quarters in good condition. 1t is also
very desirable to have the sunlight for
sheep and lambs during cold weather.
If you have one hundred ewes, divide
your barn space into four parts.
When the lambs begin to come trans
fer the eve and lamb to another pen
and keep filling up the pen as fast as
the lambs appear, keeping the older
ones together. This will prevent in
jury TO the young ones. See that the
pens are well bedded with straw and
that the ewes get plenty of salt and
fresh water. Silage from corn is
probably the best feed for sheep. 1t
should be cut after the corn has glaz-
ed. Feed this morning and night and
at noon feed roots and hay. Do not
give more than the sheep will eat up
clean every time.
The lambs should begin to come
about the middle of December or
January l. The basement should be

PLEASED WITH SILAGE.

Mr., H, B. Gurler of Illinois, who
has large farm devoted to the pro-
duction of sanitary milk for the Chi
cago market, has been using silage for
about twenty years and is now a
stronger believer in it than ever be-
fore. He says that during this time
there has never been time when he
has changed his opinion as to the adj
visibility and profit of using silage,
but that from year to year there has
been a gradual strengthening of the
opinion that silage is the most profit
