Profit i'm Raising Sheep.

An official report of the Department
of Commerce and Labor declare; that
for years to come there will be more
money in sheep than in any otter ag-
ricultural product, and that the Amer
lean farmer, above all others, is in a
position to profit by this condition.
The reason why sheep raising is to
be so profitable is to be found in the
fact that the fiocks of the world are
declining at an alarming rate. In a
little more than thirty years, or since
1878, this decline shows loss of nc
fewer than 100000 head, an average
of more than 100000 year. At the
present time the American farmer has
the bulk of the sheep trade with Great
Britain, but he is not factor in the
mutton market, and last year he fur
nished only three-tenths of / per cen
of the wool imports of Great Britain
The British trade in sheep import.
last year was 49,, 240, and of thes,
the United States supplied 294 ,SO4. Blu
while the British imported 3,53O,65!
hundredweights of mutton in 1904, tn,
American farmer supplied only 7,42,
hundredweights of this vast amount
Great Britain imported 314,46S, Sol,
pounds of wool last year, but bough
only 1887 $50 pounds from the Ameri
can farmer. 1t may thus be seel
what an immense field of trade, ever
with one nation alones is open to Amer
lean enterprise in single agriculture
product. Argentina, Australia and New
Zealand largely supplied the British
trade in mutton and wool last year.

HANGING OF A WOMAN.
1t May Result In the Abolition Of
Capital Punishment.

Capital Punishment.
with the execution of Mrs. Mary
Mabel Rogers at Windsor it Is not i'm
possible that the last hanging has
taken place in Vermont.
There has for many years been
strong feeling in the Green Mountain
State that capital punishment should
be abolished and ON several occasions
the Legislature has come close to do
ing away with the supreme penalty.
The cold-blooded manner in which
Mrs. Rogers killed her husband-en-
ticIng him to river bank, binding
him in the course of pretended play,
chloroforming him and throwing him
into the river at Bennington-created
demand for her execution which out
weighed both the sentiment against
capital punishment and the natural re-
pugnance against hanging a woman.
But, now that the woman is dead, es-
peeially as the execution was not en-
tirely devoid Of mistakes In ealcula-
tion-the old feeling against the State
taking human lift IL gaining In force.
The anti-hanging forces in the Legis-
lature will now be stronger than ever.
The case Of Mrs. Rogers was the
most sensational that ever figured in
the annals of Vermont. The murder
was committed in August. 1902. and

ConyIct's Invention.

Referring to the fact that the new
Jail in Newburg, when completed, will
have an automatic arrangement for
locking and unlocking series of cell
doors or single one in any section,
the Port Jervis Gazette says the idea
originated with 10y Schoonover, a
criminal In this county, noted char
acter in his day, and for many years
an inmate of Sing Sing prison.
Schoonover took kindly to prison dis
cipline and in time came to regard the
Institution as his home. He was what
Is known in prison parlance as a
'trusty," and was given considerable
liberty by authorities of the institu-
ton. He was sometimes even sent on
errands outside Of the prison. On one
such occasion he remained away until
after the usual hour for closing and
was locked out by the turnkey and
unable to gain admission until morn
| ing. AS soon as the doors We're open
| he sought out the offending official and
berated him severely for his action
Inside the prison walls Schoonover's
| character and conduct were wholly
exemplary, but he found it difficult tc
conform to the regulations of civilized
society, and hence was never long al
liberty. He possessed considerable in
ventive talent, and is said to have in
vented and perfected the original de
vice for automatic locking and unlock
ing of switches now employed in mos

200 quarts of milk day. About
year ago the sanitary dairying was In
troduced and the creamery was fitted
with all the latest devices for refr1g-
GRAFTON and sterilization. Floors, walls
and ceiling were built of solid compost
ton cement, and every bit Of appa-

barn and piggery it is the same. The
cow barn was built at great cost, after
the most improved designs. 1t is not

80 by 40 feet in dimension. Walls,
ceiling and floors are of the same COM
position cement as the creamery. The
stanchions are of steel piping, with
aluminium plate. Everything in the
barn is aluminium plated, even to the
three-legged milking stools. The cell
ing Is dome shaped, being twenty feet
from the floor to the top and eight
feet from the floor on the sides. The
walls are ten inches thick, with a
four-inch space between outer and In
ner wall, running entirely around the
building. Outlets and inlets for this
air space are provided by means of a
large opening in the center Of the
dome, and circular openings a foot
in diameter along the side walls fifteen
feet apart.
These openings are cut into both the
inside and outside walls, and open and
shut automatically. They can be reg
