LAST DIVIDEND PAID.
Vermont Live Stock Company Legally
Dissolved, it's Property Sold and its
Indebtedness Llquidated.

The stockholders of the Vermont Live
Stock company have received this week
checks in payment of dividend No. IL.
which amounts to II cents on each share
of 500. Accompanying the checks were
statements from the directors that all of
the property of the company had been
sold all debts had been paid and that the
company had been legally dissolved. the
checks completing the liquidation to the
stockholders. The total payment in
dividends since the company was organ
lied amounts to 120.17 per cent. The prin-
cipal, however, has been consumed, max
ing the net income 100 per cent. less.
The organization was affected in the
spring of 1884 and the capital stock was
held largely by Brattleboro business men.
The ranch consisted of government land
in South Dakota. The first two years
of its existence were beset with diff
culties, which resulted in a severe loss,
but in 1887 a dividend of 6 per cent. was
paid and for the next 10 years a hand
some profit was realized In 1881
dividends amounting to &c per cent. were
paid, and during the next year three
dividends were paid amounting to 80 per
cent
During the winter of 1869 there came
another setback. when the cattle became
scattered and from % to 40 per cent
considered disseminating its business
Consideration developed into determine
ton, and the checks for the final dividend
are the result. After the reverses in the
winter of 1867 the company held meet
ing in Brattleboro to consider the mat
ter of buying more cattle. John ID. Stew
ems, the long time manager of the COM
pany was present. The matter finally
was left with Mr.. Stevens, who decided
not to restock the ranch to any great
extent, and since then the stock has beer
disposed of gradually.
In reaching that conclusion Mr.. Stevens
was influenced largely by the high price
of Texas cattle, which chiefly were used
| in stocking the ranch, the gradual set.
| ting up of the country competition and
| the uncertainty of the weather. These
| things were beyong the control of the
company, and the failure of the enter.
! prise cannot be attributed to any lack
| of good management.
| After its first losses the company adopt
ed the policy of buying only steers anc
depending for profit upon their growth
and fattening, thereby avoiding the risl
which attended the former policy o.
breeding. Another saving was affected
later by selling the outfit required to run
the ranch and by pooling the stock witt
that of another ranch, making one out

COMBINE
They Will Have Uniform
Plan of Sugar
Tests.

1.-THE Hawaiian Sugar Chemists AS
ISOLATION" which has for it's purpose
uniformity in dealing with the sugar
crop Of the Islands. was formed at a
meeting of chemists of the various
plantations, held on Tuesday This or
ganization was planned over a month
ago at 4 preliminary meeting of the
chemists of Oahu, which included not
only those of the plantations, but the
chemists who are engaged in other ex-
perimental work.
At the meeting of the Hawaiian Sug-
ar Planters Association last week the
matter of uniformity of chemical meth
DDS in dealing with cane was discussed.
and it was decided that an association
of the chemists, by which all would
work toward uniform plan, would be
of great benefit in providing a general
outline by which all plantation work
might be guided. The organization, as
formed, is not antagonistic to the plan
tiers interests in any way, the union
being not so much for the protection of
the chemists as for the benefit of the
plantations.
The meeting for organization was held
in the rooms of the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Association and the twenty
two chemists were enrolled at that
time, most of them from Oahu.
The following We're the officers elect
ed for the ensuing year:
President, c. F. Eckart.
Vice president, J.. c. Penny.
Secretary and Treasurer, Edmund c.
Shorey
The executive committee consists of
the above named officers and P. A. G..
| Messchaert, Oahu; w. McQuaid, Ha-
vail; Geo. H. Baldwin, Maui; A Fries,
| Kauai
The object of the association is the
study Of sugar chemistry and the meth
DDS of analysis used in effecting chem
| ical control of sugar house work, with
| the aim Of arriving at uniformity both
| of methods and statements of results.
The work of investigation necessary
| in order to arrive at uniformity of
methods is to be conducted by commit
tees appointed by the president. Much
| CT this work will take some time but
| the committee on extraction expects to
report within two weeks and upon this
| report the executive committee will
! probably recommend and publish pro-
! Visional method for this branch of the
work, to be used during the coming
crop.
/ The intention of the sugar chemists
of Hawaii to form such an association
was discussed at the meeting of the
Planters Association last week and
the association just formed seems to
be assured of the support and coopera-
| ton OF the planters.

CHILD'S MEDICINE
WHY?

Because SCOTS Emulsion re.
lieves such an extraordinary
variety of children's diseases
all the way from slight CO. )
the serious hip disease.
Because SCOTS Emulsion is
asharmless as milk. Well borne
even by the delicate stomachs
of babies.
Because children respond so
quickly to its action. A medi-
cine peculiarly suited to their
sensitive nature. 1t is wonder
full how rapidly delicate chill
dren improve in every way
while taking SCOTS Emulsion.
Because children like the
taste. Most of them like SCOTS
Emulsion at once. The rest
soon learn to like it. Little
daily doses bring the results.
