Cotton Commissioners Report.

The biennial report of ii. $. Wilson
state cattle commissioner, recommends
that greater power be given the com
missioner. so that he can compel the
testing of herds for tuberculosis. He
also recommends that the state pay q
reduced percentage for cattle killed
In order to make the work of testing
cattle systematic. he recommends that
animals tested and found free from
tuberculosis be tagged in an ear for
purposes of Identification, and a record
of the tagging kept.
In speaking of CHAMBERS, the commits
sioner finds the disease on the increase
and he lays it largely to horses shipped
ir from Massachusetts and Connecticut
and the west. He recommends that
horses shipped from quarters where the
disease is known to be prevalent be adj
mitted only upon test and permit.
The report shows that from January
i, 1907. to September !. 1908, there
have been tested 1854 cows and from
this number 3,ll5 have been killed. All
these tests have been made upon appli-
cation. There were three cows killed
for which no indemnity was paid and

been paid, but the amount paid for

sportsmen, Save Your Game Heads.

The season for deer hunting is near at
hand Hundreds of nice heads are spoil
ed every year by ignorance and careless
handling. A skin for mounting should
never be cut on the throat or neck. Stick
your deer under the foreleg just in front
of the heart. Start to skin directly be-
tween the ears. Cut down on the top of
the neck to the shoulders, being very
careful to keep in center OF neck. Cut
around neck well down to forelegs. Be
sure to get the skin long enough. Skin
up to. the base of the skull, cut off the
neck from the head. Be sure to salt ev-
cry part of the skin and fill mouth, eyes
and all bullet holes with plenty of salt.
Scrape all blood out of the hair and salt
all bloody places. Get il. to your taxider-
mist as soon as possible. Heads soon
spoil. Save your nice heads if the horns
are poor, as any large taxidermist will
buy them for the skin. 1t will fit some
other fellow. Don't throw away a nice
head; it is worth saving

Reliable information comes from Mont
pelier 10 the effect that carefully laid
plans are ON foot TO secure from the pres
ent legislature big appropriation for the
state fair AZ White River Junction. Gov
ernor Prouiy Is said TO b. not uniavor'
ably disposed toward the idea, and Rep
rcsen,atiye John L. Bacon OF Hartford i
Of course heartily in favor Of il as are
many 81 the other representatives from
Windsor county Mr. Bacon. assignment
ms chairman Of the committee on appro'
priations places him in an unusually adj
yantageous position To work in behalf OF
such measure, and other men behind the
enterprise are sand Ia be doing everything
in their power 10 create sentiment favor
able to generous appropriation from the
state treasury. This Is matter which
the papers of the state ought to begin
agitating at once. The Refomer does not
believe in the principle of state aid for
agricultural fairs. and is doubly opposed
10 any measure that contempates aid
for one fair 10 the exclusion of others.
We can see no good reason why the
White River Junction exhibition should
have help from the state when there are
other fairs, equally as good in every re-
spect and much better established, that
are selfsupporting. II fair is not meri-
torious enough to secure sufficient admis-
sions to pay all its expenses it certainly is
not meritorious enough TO live ON money
from the state Excellent as the state
fair was in many respects both this year
and last. it cannot he said TO have pos
sessed any features which entitle il to ex-
elusive state aid; indeed, if the attend |
ance was anywhere near as large as re-
ported it ought not to need any help.
Furthermore. this state is so situated
that. it is utterly out OF the
question to expect TO establish at any
point fair that will ever become in
reality a state institution. Plenty of
sensible uses can be found for all the
money which the state has to spend with
put voting penny for the fair at White
River Junction. Members Of the legisla-
lure who accepted complimentary tickets
20 the fair this year should bear this
act in mind when asked to vote on the
question.

A Thing to Be Feared.

The thing to be feared and exposed by
every newspaper man who recognizes lis
! potential evil is the proposition OF eX
Governor Proctor to do away with loca
license commissioners and center al
power of granting licenses in state board
| appointed by the governor. When this
was first mooted and discussed inform
ally by public men about the state it was
| supposed that the recommendation would
simply take the power of appointment
away from the county judges, allowing
the local license commissioners to be APP
pointed by a state board, removed from
the direct influence of politics, and per
hitting them to retain all their present
powers. This, however, is not the case.
The governors" exact language is as fol-
lows:
II recommend tie appointment of a
state license board consisting of three
members, to be appointed by the COVER
nor, in which shall be vested all the power
and authority which the local license com
missioners now have"
In the opinion of the Herald, this would
vitiate a most vital principle of local OPP
ton and create tribunal whose powers
could be made most dangerous factor in
state politics. The removal of a towns
control of the liquor traffic by its local
commissioners is almost as bad as remov-
ing the power of voting Eyes" and NO"
In fact, local option men ought to realize
that this recommendation is probably the
first step in the gradual weakening of the
laws best features, which certain political
forces in Vermont would be glad to see
destroyed, and the placing of the state
once again under the RUE OF the unscrup-
ulous machine which for many years used
the prohibtory law as a political weapon
of unseen but sinister value.
We shall simply see the business of
granting licenses removed from the sphere
of county politics and firmly entrenched
in state politics. 1t will be bigger and
more powerful machine, absolutely i'm
mune of correction and autocratic in its
powers.

The Central Vermont.
barre Times.

That the Central vermont railway
company has been able 20 make both
ends meet during the past year OF gen
eral business depression is a compliment
to the management of the road, most
certainly, and a concise commentary,
also, ON the growing value OF the field
in which the road Is operated. At the
annual meeting OF the corporation held
in st. Adams yesterday, it was reported
that the balance is on the right side of
the ledger and this, we are told. was
done without the curtailment of trans.
portation facilities. The period covered
by the last fiscal year of this railroad
was bad one for railroads all over the
country, with its decreased production
and consequent decreased transportation.
The Central Vermont, we doubt not, felt
the effects Of the business blight as its
contemporaries did, although perhaps
not in the same heavy proportion. There.
fore if the line was able to go through
that period with flying coors, SO to
speak, and at the same time improve
on its service of the year preceding there
must be fruitful years ahead for the
railroad. The growth of the industries
of the state which send their products
by rail is so steadily advancing that it
will mean more and more transportation
business for the carrying company. In
the nature of the events, the Central Yer
mont line is bound to get a proportion
of the impetus from this growth.
