weIl.Fed Sheep Improve the Farm.

It is a mistake to suppose that a
farm can be improved In productive.
ness by merely putting on flock of
sheep. 1t can be increased in produc.
tiveness by the sheep. provided the
sheep are well fed and well cared for.
The sheep can add nothing to the
farm unless feed is imported for the
use of the sheep. The most they can
do Is to change understandable fodder
into mutton and wool that can be sold
at @ profit.

How to Save m oney.

In these times when living expenses
have increased from thirty to fifty per
cent, it is unusual to hear of a standard
remedy being offered at half price.
Yet that is the way milford R. Burt,
the popular druggist, is selling DR..
Towards celebrated specific for the cure
of dyspepsia and constipation. In addi-
ton to selling a fifty cent hottie, con-
tanning a months treatment of sixty
doses, for 25 cents, he gives his personal
guarantee with every bottle he sells to
refund the money if it does not give sat-
isfaction.
This unusual offer has brought hun
dreds of customers to his store in the
last few weeks, yet out of the many bot
ties of DR.. Towards specific he has sold,
but one customer has asked to have the
money returned. This was done without
any questions, although milford r. Burt
does not think the remedy could have
been given fair trial.

James Russell Lowell was a great

quet the peculiarities of American
speech were discussed with English
bluntness. Lord S. called to Mr.. Lowell
loudly. SO as to silence all other speak

There is one new expression invent

vulgar as to be objectionable. They
talk of the ashes of the dead We

At special meeting of the Rutland
County Fish and Game League last
week, proposed changes in the State game
laws were advocated. One of the
changes for which these sportsmen are
working is the repeal of the Sunday
hunting law, many gunners claiming
that their shotguns are practically useless
to them unless they can go out Sunday.
1t is argued that as golf and other sports
are allowed on the Sabbath, the nom
Sunday hunting law is unfair in that it
gives the rich and the city men who
come to Vermont for vacation an oppor-
tunity to deplete the coverts while the
working sportsmen whose only day of
recreation is Sunday cannot hunt at all.
In theory this sounds plausible but prac-
tice has shown in other States that Sun
day hunting, or the allowing of the use
of firearms on that day, is conducive to
results that make the day holiday
rather than holy day. Let US be pro-
gressive but at the same time let us re-
member that the established rules of socie-
ty demand that Sunday be observed up
on lines that conduce to rest and relief
from the strenuousness of the six other
days in the week.

Hats OFF to Morusns.

In its report of the Valley Fair the
Brattleboro Reformer says:
mo nobler representatives of the.Mor-
gan horse can be found than those
owned by Hon. Joseph Battell, of Mid
dlebury. Ten of Mr.. Battell's stud
were on exhibition, and although they
were late in arriving they formed one
of the principal features of the equine
department. The veteran Gen. Gates,
who was shown here last year and at
tracted SO much attention, led the
string. Age seemed to rest lightly on
his sleek, we'll turned shoulders, and
the quality of the youngsters who claim
him as a sire showed that he is still
making Morgan history. Next to Gen.
Gates was Mr.. Battell's new stallion,
Gen. Montgomery, purchased last fall
in California. Montgomery is thor
oughly Morgan on the side of his sire,
Doodle. His dam is a Wilkes mare
with three direct crosses to Goldsmith
Maid. He is bay and very snowy.
Among the others were the two-year.

can, the two-year-old chestnut filly,
Coming Beauty-true to her name.
Maggie Gates, a three-year-old filly by
Rocky Mountain and four-year-od

hibit were two Morgans owned by ex-
Governor Stewart of Middlebury; yearl-

Gates.

OBITUARY..



BY the death of William T. Haight,
Middlebury loses one of its oldest resi-.
dents. Mr.lHaight was born in Starks-
boro, August 10, 1929, and was therefore
in his eighty-fifth year at the time of his
death.
At an early age he removed to Bristol,
VT, where the greater part of his long
life was spent upon his farm. He was
twicelmarried. His first wife was Ellen
Barnard, of Bristol; his second wife Caro-
line Eddy, of Huntington, Vt. who died
July 6, 1886.
The closing years of his life were spent
in Middlebury, where he died of old age,
Saturday, September 20.
He is survived by four daughters, Mrs.
Lawrence Kennedy, of New York city,
Mrs. Oscar H. Cushman, of Middlebury,
Mrs. Frank Ruff, of st. Louis. Missouri

and the interment was in the family lot
in the cemetery in Bristol.
Mr.. Haight was man of retiring dis.

habitual courtesy, he was a gentle
man of the old school, of which SO few
representatives now remain.

The 1906 Boston Food Fair, which
opened at Mechanics Building, on Mon
day, promises to be the most beautiful
exposition New England has ever wit

Quoted by the Boston Retail Grocers
Association, and it is the first food fair
held in Boston in five years. The man.
agement has put in full years time
In making preparations for the fair,
which is to be entirely unlike any
previous event of the kind. 1t will be
the first exposition in America at which
all the decorations, from floor to cell
ing, are part of one general color
scheme, every booth being in complete
harmony with every other booth. No
fair ever held in Boston, if anywhere,
was ever so gorgeously lighted. One
exhibit alone has more than 1000 sep
arate electric lights. Another unique
feature is to be that all side shows are
free.
The attractions are far greater than
at any previous food fair. Beginning
with the opening day there will be band
concerts afternoon and evening, given
by the United States Marine Band, of
Washington.
There are to be many other features
o. the fair, including beautiful views
and scenes in colors from the celebrated
work, "Ben Hur." William H. Joslyn,
who has given this presentation more
than 400 times, explains the book in a
remarkably interesting manner, as 1875

CUBA'S CONDITION..
The United States Governing the
IsIsnd-Bringins Order Out
of Chaos.

Uncle Sam is now In Cuba and Judging
from all accounts and indications he is
there to stay. 1t is true that when Secre-
tary Taft after allowing the warning fac
lions time to restore law and order, issued
a proclamation declaring himself provis-
ional governor of the Island, he stated
that the provisional government was
merely temporary and that it would be
maintained for the purpose of restoring
peace, order and public confidence until
permanent government is established,
but he does not undertake to state what
that permanent government is to be.
1t is significant in this connection that
according to the belief of officials of the
war department at Washington the forces
being sent to Cuba are to remain and
that annexation will be the ultimate
outcome. There has already been talk
of an extra session of Congress, but the
opinion is held that the problem is so far
solved that our national lawmakers will
not be called upon to consider the SUBJ
ject, at least until after the November
election.
1t is no secret that many capitalists
who have invested in Cuban property
have been eager for annexation to the
United States, knowing that such step
would mean the doubling of their values.
Many Cubans have held all along that
they would not be assured permanent
peace and tranquility until the Pearl of
the Antilles was part of the United
States. These classes have found hearty
esponse to their wishes in a certain ele-
ment in this country, who have held that
annexation was only a question of time
and that it is better to have the matter
disposed Of

orally believed in Washington that the
secretary of war will find the marines
and sailors now in Cuba and preparing
to go there capable of guarding Havana
and neighboring cities, pending the hold.

factory basis. Many American army
officers do not share the opinion that
serious rioting will follow American in.
PREVENTION. Although marines and
sailors are not fully equipped for service
in the field at long distance from the
ships, they can be distributed very gener.
ally from Havana by rail. Keeping in
touch with their ships by rail the marines
can do guard duty satisfactorily at points
where the property and lives of foreigners
may be threatened.
In the opinion of some army officers
the interior of Cuba will become hostile
soon after intervention, and conditions
will arise which nothing less than a
powerful army can meet; but it is not
believed, that the army will be dragged
into the Cuban muddle for several weeks
Preparations for the movement of troops
at short notice have not been abated in
the least however.
