Dsiryinq In the South.

Dairying is growing in popularity
among the farmers of the southern
states. They are learning that the
dairy COW can do for the cotton grower
of the south what she has done for the
wheat grower in the north, j. e., in
crease the fertility of the soil in addition
to making most satisfactory returns
for labor and money expended for feed.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture
has given particular attention to this
question in the southern states the
past few years and great service has
been rendered. A great impetus has
been given to the dairy movement until
now there are thousands of influential
dairymen singing the praises of the
dairy COW and demonstrating by actual
experiments that dairyiDg is the saliva
ton of that section of the country.
Certain politicians, in order to create
an issue by which they might retain
office, have greatly retarded the develop
ment of the dairy industry in the cotton
growing states by creating the i'm
preston there that the interests of the
cotton grower are opposed to those of
the dairyman. 1t has been brought
about in this way: Cottonseed oil is
used in the manufacture of some kinds
of oleomargarine. This has been used
to prejudice the cotton producer against
any and all kinds of legislation which in
any way regulates or restricts the sale
of oleomargarine.
A careful estimate compiled from
government reports shows that through
the sale of cottonseed oil which was
used in the manufacture of oleomargine
last year, the cotton growers of the
south actually received one and one
half cents for every acre planted to
cotton.
For every dollars worth of cotton
seed oil used last year in making oleo-
margarine, one hundred and seven
dollars worth of butter was produced
in those same cotton growing states.
These are facts which every cotton
producer should consider before lending
his support to any movement which is
intended to retard the growth and de-
velopment of the dairy industry in the
south.

w alter Power.

The time is at hand, also, when the
policy of this state must be to safe
guard its natural water power for the
use Of Vermonters and the develop
ment of Vermont resources and inter
ests first. 1t is not fair thing to say
that there is no use now for this and
that water power anywhere in Vermont
that would be available to it, and that,
therefore, its owner has right to sell
it for use out of the state. Vermont
has not begun to exploit her water
power yet, has not fairly begun to de-
velop her own opportunities by it. No
body can accurately gauge the amount
of Embarrassed water power that is
running to waste in this state every
minute of the "a hours. When we
shall have entered upon something like
a systematic business of bringing all
this to the attention of capital, there is
every reason to expect that there will
be plenty of uses forthis water power
right here at home and that capital
will be attracted here and will under

take to build up industries here just be-
cause of this water power and the great
advantages it offers. And the spot that
today may appear to be only sylvan will
derness may tomorrow flourish as the
scene of prosperous industry -when the
water power is set to work. What folly
it will be, then, to sell or permit the sale
of this water power to outsiders now,
before we are ready to use it ourselves.
The Legislature should find some con-
stitutional way to keep this water
power at home, and do it before it is
too late. Vermont cannot afford to
sell her birthright for mess of pottage.
The above is from an editorial in the
st. Adams Messenger of Sept. oath.
The subject is of large Importance, and
the position we think correctly taken.
And it is at least an open question
whether the transference of water
power from one part of the State to
another should be permitted, without
giving the town where it is situated, the
first option to purchase and develop.

Morgan Horse Exhibits at the
State Fair,
To the Middlebury Register /:

To the Middlebury Register
The Vermont State Fair for 1910 is a
thing of the past and judging from the
great crowd present and the wonderful
show of stock of all kinds, together with
the many other exhibits, it looked to us
like great success every way. The
exhibit of Morgan Horses-in which we
were most interested-far surpassed
any thing seen since "Black Hawk S"
time, both in numbers and quality.
have seen all the great eXpositions and
Worlds fairs held in this country lately
and never have | seen such an interest
shown in this beautiful breed of horses
as | saw at this fair. Horses were on
exhibition from all the eastern states
and as far west as Illinois.
The new American Horse Club, of
which Mr.. H. S. Wordner is president,
and Mr.. c. c. Stillman is secretary and
treasurer, are very much in favor of the
old fashioned low-down--14 and Az
hands high-type of this breed and the
judges were given to understand that
that was the true type and should be
judged as such. So the people of the
west side of the state can see we were
badly handicapped with our string of
high-class "Black Hawk" Morgans be-
longing to Mr. Joseph Battell, and yet
We were able to take good number of
premiums after ALL
The Manchester Cup, given by Mr.. w.
w. Stokes of New York City, for the
best stallion. mare or gelding, open to
all, conforming most truly to the type
of 'Hale's Green Mountain Morgan, "
to be shown in harness, we won with
the four-year-old stallion, Scotland. "
This was considered one of the most
desirable prizes of the meeting and was
competed for by twenty-four of the
best horses | ever saw in any show ring.
The decision of the judge was very
popular with the grand stand and loudly
applauded. We also won first for the
best pair of driving horses with Mag
gle Gates" and Beauty" both daugh-
tiers of Gen. Gates" Maggie also
won first as best mare or gelding Nor
gan shown under saddle, and size, and
Scotland as best Morgan stallion shown

For the Middlebury Register:
The Brattleboro Fair is always sue
cess-a great success. Like our own
Addison County FART is very popular
with the people. And again. like our
fair, it is always worthy of that popu-
arity, for it is a clean, up-to-date eX
hibition of everything that goes to
make a successful fair. This year the
show of all kinds of stock far exceeds
anything ever seen here before. This
fair has long been noted for its wonder
full show of oxen and one Of the judges
in that class told me that he had acted
as Judge in that class for a number of
years but had never seen anything to
equal the exhibit this year. 1t was a
wonderful show.
The horse exhibit was in every way
fine, both in standard bred trotters and
Morgans. saw only few heavy draft
horses and think that class not as well
represented as at our own fair
The Morgan horses, which are always
very popular here and never more so
than this year, seemed to predominant
both in numbers and quality. Col. Bat
tells beautiful stallion Scotland, !"
though only four years old, won the
grand champion, open to all Morgan
stations any age, and was pronounced
by the expert judge the most perfect
stallion shown to bridal-he ever saw.
Vermont, also owned by Col. Battell,
won the blue ribbon for the best three
year-old Morgan stallion.
The black two-year-old stallion King
Richard, owned by Gov. Stewart but
entered in our string also won the blue
ribbon (1st premium) as best Morgan
stallion twoyears-old.
The elegant little mare, Maggie
Gates, won second premium in the Ia
dies driving class, driven by Miss Mar
jorie Balenstene, who never drove her
before and so was at great disadvan-
tage in handling so high strung beast.
| seldom find fault with the Judge S
decision but in this case, l, with a great
part of the grand stand thought him
wrong as our mare far out-classed them
all and his only excuse was that she
lacked size. Who ever heard of a
ladies' driving class judged by their
size? 1t was a revelation to me, sure.
We also drew second with Beauty in
the genteman's drivers. | think |
never exhibited at place where all the
board of officers were more willing and
anxious to do every thing possible for
those who came from away than they
are here. Surely they have shown US
every courtesy possible. Long may
they live.
Yours for the Morgan Horse,

A Correction,

By some mistake the premium award
ed at the recent Addison Coun ty
Fair to Mr.. G. j. Miller of South
Cornwall was credited to another.
Mr.. Miller has a beautiful black
three year old Morgan stallion, which
competed in the Morgan class with
stations of the same age raised and
shown by H. R. c. Watson of Brandon,
Joseph Battell of Middlebury, w. T.
Foote of Port Henry, Adam Centre, Jr.,
of Brandon and breeder from Platts-
burg, N. Y. Mr.. Miller is to be con-
graduated upon having received the
gold ribbon in such competition. Only
the stations of Col. Battell and Mr..
Watson received higher awards.

The farmers of Vermont should bear
in mind the New England corn exhibit
which takes place in Worcester, Mass,
during the week beginning November
Z and closes on the 18th. 1t is expected
that there will be a large exhibit and
many should avail themselves of this
opportunity to attend as it will without
doubt prove a good investment to the
farmer who wishes to increase his corn
crop on his farm.

In writing about the state industrial
school at Vergennes correspondent of
the Montpelier Journal tells many facts
that are unknown by the average YER
monter. The institution is no longer
reform school in the accepted sense of
the term. There is no fence around the
grounds, no bars at the windows, in fact
nothing to distinguish it from any school
for boys and girls. Competent instruc-
tors teach agriculture, dairying, car
pentry, plumbing, steam heating and
power, shoemaking, tailoring, painting,
printing, handicraft, manual training,
laundry work, dress-making, cooking,
etc. All these are taught in connection
with the work of the eight grades of
work similar to the courses taught in
the graded schools of the State. The
school is doing today much the same
work as the State experiment station at
Burlington and the proposed industrial
school at Lyndonville, but by younger
class of boys and girls, the wards of
the State. Love and honor rule in the
institution and the appeal that is made
to the manhood and womanhood of the
boys and girls is more potent than all
the old methods of force and coercion.
The above editorial appeared in the
Brattleboro Reformer and shows the
untiring efforts of the State penal
board of which Hon. John E. Weeks, of
Middlebury, is president. Superintend-
ent Barss of the institution is prac-
teal man in that line of work and his
cooperation with the State board makes
it one of the best factors in the country
for the development of good citizen

ColIier's and tho Governme nj
Farm.

The Government Morgan Horse Farm
is likely to do good deal to make our
village known to the world. Golfers
Weekly, which has an immense circula-
ton in all parts of the country, has the
following paragraph on the first edito-
rial page of its last issue:-
THE MORGAN HORSE.
The department of agriculture plans
to revive the Morgan horse, which half
century and mole ago was the pride
of the American farm. Although
small, he was exceptionally strong, dis
tinct, spirited, and kind. In 1845 it
was written of him:
There is no doubt whatever of this
that the breed of the Morgan horse was
and is now far the best breed of
horse for general use that was ever in
the United Subsequently, the best IN
the world.
The sire of this breed, Justin Morgan,
fiourished in the early 18th century and
achieved reputation through the Yer
mont hills for his appearance and his
pulling power. he was not 1ully APP
preciated, however, until his descend
ants began to reproduce his qualities.
In the SOS, when the passion for speed
came in, the Morgan horse was ignor-
antly bred for records. In the course
of time he lost his own compactness,
becoming leggy and more rangy; and
with the waning of his native attri-
butes, the type became, as it is now,
practically extinct. On its Experiment
Farm at Middlebury, Vermont the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry is attempting
to work back to the original stock.
The program is not exactly to duplicate
Justin Morgan, except in his more ad-
mirable points. The bureau intends to
erase his faults of undersize and of low
action, and in various ways to meet the
requirements of the present market.

DON'T SEND THEM OUT OF the STATE.

SEND THEM OUT OF THE STATE.
The time is about nigh when
you shall decide to what institu-
ton you will send your boy or
girl for a college education. This
is an important matter that should
be decided with care. Much de-
ponds on your sending to places
where the best advantages can be
had.
There are very few institutions
in the South that can better fiji
your children for the struggles OF
life than our own state colleges.
Our five leading Institutions, es
pecially the University Of Missis-
sippi, the l. l. & c., and the A. C NJ,
have the best of educational facili-
ties and can best equip your child
rem.
The practice of sending your
children out of the state for their
college education is discouragine
and injurious to the expansion OF
Mississippi's educational institu-
tons. You neglect your duty to
your State when you fail to pat
ronize your home colleges, espec-
tally when they offer exceptional
advantages.
It's all nonsense to send them
out of the state. Spend this mon.
ey with home institutions where il
is needed, and where your child
rem can best equip themselves
with a college education.

It seems that we never are
going to get our streets tagged
properly with neat signs, and our
residences all properly numbered.
Several years ago when it was not
needed so badly, they were nam
ed and numbered hurriedly. Now
when the city has expanded and
its population largely increased, a
new numbering should be order
ed. It now becomes a necessity,
and the city council should get
their peppers down to it and
order same.
