BROAD LAKE CLOSED.
Ice about Three Inches Thick and Hnr-
vest VIII Begin Next week.

Yes we can keep cool next summer all
right. The broad lake is now closed over
as tight a bug in rug and many ice
houses in the city are bhrdened with last
seasons ice crop But will that make ice
any cheaper? The small boy would say
"Nit," the consumer. Nav, and the ice
dealer after rejecting carefully would
murmer considering the high price of
labor and team hire ] can't ima9ine it
any cheaper, it ought to be higher"
The lake was in process of closing over
on Friday, but at dark there was an open
space about midway between the YER
mont and New York shores, which evil
IDENTIFY closed over during the night!
The heavy storm of Saturday formed
about three inches of snow ice. which
now forms a rough surface over the en-
tire lake. The ice men expect TO begin
to gather their annual harvest the first
OF next week.
Last year the lake closed over on jan
nary o. in 1906 on February and in 1876
on January 90. In 1891 and 1892 the broad
lake froze and broke up three times
finally closing over on March and s. In
1898, 1912 and 1850 the broad lake did not
close over.

A SOLEMN WARNING.

Though ignorance is never bliss.
Despite what poets Say,
OF wisdom II were well to miss
Too constant a display,
For pride. as people all agree
OFT goes before q fall.
So pause and do not seek to be
The man who knows 1t all
Zen though all knowledge you hav,
won,
OF things both old and new
You'll merely be so good that none
Can think that you are true.
Far up amid the frosty heights
You'll stray beyond recall,
And pass your lonely days and nights,
The man who knows it all.
Among the starry heights you'll grope
And men will never care
They'll have to take a telescope
To know that you are there.
And they will say, in language rough,
Your credit is but small:
That you're a myth, or worsA a blum,
The man who knows 1t ALL

ENGLISH SHEEP
MANAGEMENT
Labor and Climate Both against This,
System.

The practical difficulties in the wav nj
practlcing the English system of sheen
management in this country are two.
fold. The first is climatic. The Enrlish
system is based on root feeding. These
roots are turnips and nangels. The
former are fed where grown without
handling in any way, says the County
Gcntlsman. A portion of the field is en-
closed with hurdles and when the tur-
nips of this piece are consumed an addi.
tional piece is taken. and so on. This
feeding goes on through the winter.
North Of southern Virginia the cold is
too severe for this, as the turnps will
rot stand freezing The mangels are
fed after the turnips are gone. Our cl-
mate does not prevent this, and such
feeding is possible here. Glover. vetches.
etc, are also fed with hurdles.
1t should also be said that what IS
called the English system is the one
practiced in the southern and middle
sections In the northern countries. as
in much of Scotland also the sheep have
wide ranges of pasture and are brought
home for feeding, much as in generally
done in America. The other difficulty
with the English system is the cost of
labor here. The English flock has con-
stant attendance and the moving of
hurdles and hand feeding require much
labor We are compelled to adop.
methods that require the least possible
labor.
The feeding Of western lambs near
the eastern markets may be pra cticable
on farms raising the grain to be con-
sumcd as well as the various green foods
and hay required for ration for rapid
development, But where grain has to
be purchased all the freight charges
are against the undertaking. The Finish
cd product" which is the dressed car
cass. under the modern system Of trans
portation is brought to our markets for
less than the live lambs can be brought
to the farm. Grain freights are also
AGAINST us, One advantage in the feed
ing proposed is in consuming the farm
products on the place, giving n valua BILE

UNCLE SANS BIG TREES.
The Redwood Canyon Decided to United
tntes by VIM. Kent of Chicago.

One OF the most public spirited gifts
ever made to the government has come
from William Kent, Of Chicago, who has
Just decided to the United States 2a5 acres
of primcval redwood forest on the south
ern slope of Mt. Tamalpais, about six
miles from the city Of san Francisco
The land was decided to the government
with the approval Of Forester Clifford
Pinchot, chief Of the United States for
est service The papers have now gone
TO the secretary of the interior and a
proclamation declaring the canyon a
national monument will be signed at an
early date.
This means that more of California s
redwood giants will be saved for the
scientific study and pleasure OF the whole
country, in fact the whole world, for the
great seQueias are only found in the
Golden State. This grove given to the
government by Mr., Kent is one of the
only tracts of redwood forests to be
found in its natural state in California
to-day. The land is said to have cost
Mr. Kent $4,000 some years ago. but its
stand OF redwood timber alone is now
valued at more than $4,000 on the mar
ket.
The canyons of Tamalpais which drain
into San Francisco bay We're cut clean
years ago and the redwood obtained from
them went into the construction OF the
old San Francisco. Tho giants IN the
tract to be known as Muir Woods es-
capped the AK however, chiefly because
the outlet Is on the ocean side instead of
the bay side. and also because the var
ious owners of the land have for sentl-
mental reasons jealousy guarded the
timber from harm or destruction. Mod
ern methods of logging would make short
work of the timber, and would. besides
put a handsome profit in the hands Of
the owners.
1t Is the intention to name the natIona,
monument muir Woods" after John
Muir. the noted naturalist. The giants
of Redwood Canyon will now he given
permanent protection by virtue OF tho
Act OF June s, 1906 which provides that

NIGHT TELEPHONE RATES.
VIII Hereafter Apply Only to Hour
between 10 y. M. and 4 a. m.

VIII Hereafter Apply Only to HOurs
between 10 p. M. and 4 a. m.
The New England Telephone & Tele-
graph company and the Southern
Massachusetts, Telephone company
have announced that on and after
February /, 1908, the night rate for
their toll service will apply between
the hours of 10 p. m. and a. m. in
stead Of between p. m. and 6 a. m.
An official of the company says
This change is necessary on account
of the practice which has grown up
Of deferring calls which would ordin-
arily be made through the day, until
after p. m. when the night rate goes
into effect. The result OF this prac-
tce has been to crowd very large
number of calls into short space Of
time Immediately after p. m The
effect of this congestion of traffic is
to place such a strain on the plant
and operating force that necessarily a
large number of calls are lost or de-
layed.
THE original object of the night
rate was to attract toll business at a
time when the lines were not being
used to any great extent and when
consequently the operating force could
handle more calls The result has been
that the general practice OF deferring
calls until after six o'clock has over
crowded the lines and necessitated the
employment of a largely increased
operating force which can be utilized
only during rush hours. AS a matter
OF fact in some exchanges the num-
her of calls handled during the early
evening hours is twenty per cent.
greater than during the busiest hours
of the morning. The effect of this
congestion together with the addeo
difficulty OF getting efficient operators

THE CHARITY CONCERT.
Fine Program, Artisticsliy Rendered by
Some Of BurIington's Best Talent,

Burlington musicians never gave a
finer concert than that which the,
presented at The Strong theatre Sun

The sacred character of the, concert wa,
made prominent by brief prayer. Offered
by the Rev. C. j. Staples before the frs
number, and by the absence of applause
although on any other days many encores
would have been demanded It was n
fine tribute to the standing Burlingto or
musicians have. and to the fact that
calls for charity are always answered in
the Queen City Of Vermont. that such a
large audience gathered on one of the
most disagrceable Gays Of northern
winter.
The orchestral selections included
Nerdi's overture acknowledgements" Wag-
ner's stirring Pilgrims Chorus and
"Recollcctions of Tannhauser," and Schu-
bert's dainty unfinished symphony in

was universally commended as being the
best yet produced by Burlington players.
