Real Vermont Turkey Is
a Scarce Article.
Price This Year will Be Much
Greater Than Usual.
Mysterious Disease Sometimes Car.
ries of Whole FIocks.

Rutland, VT. Nov. 1.-THE alarm
which has regularly been sounded just
before THANKSGIVING in recent years t.
the effect that genuine Vermont tur-
Keys would be unusually high priced and
scarce, is now being emphasized by the
farmer, in this vicinity. The Vermont
production of this popular ThanksgiV-
ing fowl has dwindled greatly in the
past fiv" years without certain cause
for the decrease.
Competition from Western farms, es.
recially in Kentucky. is given as pos
sible explanation. but each fall sees Il
great demand in city markets for the
genuine Vermont product. Farmers
here declare that the raising Of tur-
keys is too uncertain a venture to be
profitable. the young brood often dying
suddenly and mysteriously. a farmer
who came to the city market lierc two
weeks ago told n local dealer that he
would have n fine lot of turkeys for
sale at thanksgiving time. but he re-
turned here yesterday to report that he
would be unable to fbld to his contract
as some mysterious disease had carried
off the whole brood.
Vermonters are so fond Of their fam
Gus product that farmers who raise but
a few of the birds are inclined 10
forego the high prices offered in the
market and to keep them to grace their
own tables.
In this city the proba BILE priceof native
turkeys is quoted at 25 to 2e cents
pound, but the price in Boston and
other outside markets will likely be
from so to 80 cents or even higher

shades of night having fallen before
a decision was rendered by the judge
The accounts of Hiram A. COmstock

charged that his accounts were not
correct and that he had not charged
himself with all the property that
came into his hands.
During the session Of court EeSter-
dav it was shown that the deed from
Mrs. S. Wesley Carr, one of the heirs,
to Mrs. Abbie NJ. Hall, conveying GER
tain real estate, the court decided as
valid as far as the probate court was
concerned. Also that the deed from
Mrs. Hall to Mrs. Carr, conveying GER
tain other real and personal estate.
was a matter that the court had no
authority to set aside in either case.
Further that the administrator, Com
stock, furnished receipts covering the
inventory for which he was charged
within about $40, which is to be dis
tributed to Mrs Hall. the only living
heir. Further that the court found,
from the evidence presented. that Mr..
Comstock had not resorted to any
fraud or deception in the case. al
though he had proceeded in an lrregu-
lar manner not in accord with the
strict letter of the statute. Therefore
