Anent that plseased Meat.

Attorney General Fits has carefully
Investigated the charge industriously
circulated through the Clement Litera-
~ Bureau that the state OF Vermont,
through its cattle commission, had
been selling for TODD purposes the
meat OF cattle that had been slaughter
ed, having been condemned for tuber-
culosis. In his report to the governor
the Attorney General sums up the mat
ter as follows -
The cattle commissioner in charge,
Dr.. f. A. Rich, the manager OF the
Burlington Rendering plant. Mr. Brig
ham, and Mr. Heath, the butcher, who
does the butcheIing Tor the Rendering
company, all state that no diseased
meat has been used for food purposes,
that all such has been used for
fertilizer. There seems to be,
therefore, no warrant for the charge
made based upon the Hutchinson
affidavit that the state OF its officers
have sold diseased meat for food
purposes. In fact, Hutchinson, him
self, does not o state it. There would
seem, therefore, no reason for pros
ecuting anyone for anything that
appears in the Hutchinson matter.
In regard to the charge made by
former employe of the Burlington
Rendering Co., to the effect that the
company has sold meat that had been
condemned, the Encouragement will
probe the whole matter to the bottom,
and has directed the states attorney
of Chittenden county to summon all
parties who are presumed to have
any knowledge of any such transac-
ton to appear before the grand jury
at Burlington the first Wednesday in
September. The assurance is given
by Mr.. Fits that there will be prose-
cuted as vigorous and thorough an
investigation of the matter as the
officers of the law are able to make. ?
II the Swift Co. at Burlington has
sold mberculous meat to the public,
and there is no evidence to that effect,
why should the cattle commissioners
or the state administration be blamed

Where Our American Brooms Grow-How
Benjamin Franklin introduced Broom
Corn In This Country.

Forty-two millions of brooms is the
harvest of 1905, says a correspondent of
the Indianapolis News. That is $I5.-
100000 worth of brooms. Pile them into
cars for shipment-they pack about 1000
to the car-and you have 10000 car loads
OF brooms. Ten thousand cars mean 200
long, 5O-car freight trains, and 200 such
trains, pulled by 200 big mogul engines,
means almost 100 miles of brooms Lay
those 42,O0O,000 end to end and the broom
trail would be 10000 miles long-would
reach IL times around the world.
The nations broom harvest is just over
and It has been great sight to see 49,
100000 new brooms growing and harvested
over In this part of Illinois, which is
the home of the fine broom. Another p. =
600, OOO-cheaper oneS-have lust been
taken out OF the September weather down
In Oklahoma. Those gathering in the
sheaves over in Kansas have plucked
about 100000 more brooms from nature.
and another million or two have been
gathered in Missouri, Tennessee. Arkan-

The broom is a corn crop-its stalk.

Just exactly where 1t came from no one

TO find the broom-the kind OF broom
that we Americans know and have-is
an American institution, though broom
corn came to us from India. Older people
IN this country remember when their
brooms were made out of twigs and
bristles, as are most of the brooms used
In this day in European countries by COM
mon people. 1t was during the life Of
Benjamin Franklin that crude whisk

He raised two or three beautiful stalks
OF broom plant from them. and he gath
cred the seed and gave it to friends the
next year. 1t was the beginning In
asmuch as a bushel of broom corn seed is
about enough to plant a congressional
township, it was not long until the crop
OF seed was sufficient to establish the
broom making industry in this country.
The Quakers and Shakers took it up.
and the first extensive cultivation Of
broom corn was in the Mohawk valley
where the first broom factories in this
country were opened, possibly by the
Shakers. The brooms made a great hit
and there was scramble for them, and
the broom corn raisers received as high
as $500 or 5000 a ton for their crops. With
the opening of the western country the
seed was brought out into the new coun-
try by settlers, and the first extensive
cultivation in the West was in Ohio, some
where near Columbus In the South It
was in Tennessee.
