Switzerland, and are recognized by all
experts as the best herd of that breed to
be found in this whole country. He tried
to get a larger number from that country
but was prevented by law"
T. n Vail has perhaps the finest herd
OF Swiss Brown cattle in New England,
and the type is attracting much atten-
ton among dairvmen who are willing to
make an experiment, or, possibly, who
are willing that some one else should
make it. 1t is fortunate for Vermont
that man of Mr.. Wallis means and
enterprise should have undertaken to
breed Swiss Brown cattle, because the
trend of things in Vermont is largely
toward dual purpose cow-an animal
who pays her way as a producer of
butter-fat, whose offspring can be fatten-
ed and sold for beef and who, after her
usefulness as dairy animal is over, can
herself be turned into beef and the origi-
nal investment-or very nearly that-can
be recovered from the butchers or
packers.
The Swiss Brown type is new in Yer
mont, and DAN ynlen who have passed
through the various stages of expert
ment with Grade Durhams, Guernseys,
Ayrshires, Devons, Jerseys, Holsteins,
Belted Dutch, etc, may be excused if they
prefer to let the other man experiment
for while. But there is one thing that
all students of the Vail experiment may
remember with proft-every COW in
Speedwell barns is scientifically registered
and books kept on her performance. The
owner knows exactly how much it costs
to keep each cow and how much each
cow earns. 1t is not matter of guess
work but of scientific facts and figures
and all investigators of Swiss Brown
cattle can see from a cows milk chart
exactly what she is earning.
When it is freely stated that Swiss
Brown cattle produce as much milk IS
Jerseys, and as much beef as Durham's,
it becomes clearly the business of the
progressive dairyman to look into the
matter and see what there is ito it,
The Herald's opinion is, that in the
inevitable coming demand of Vermont
cattlemen for dual purpose cow, it will
be well to watch the records of the Swiss
Brown cattle at Speedwell Farms, none
of whom is allowed to become boarder
instead of a producer.
Meanwhile, every dairyman in Yer
mont ought to satisfy himself as to
whether his cows are paying, costing
him money or merely transferring dollars
from one pocket to another, with the
cost of labor and supervision a total

The Swiss Brown Cow.

The St. Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN has
begun what is probably the unique cir
culation contest of the state. It offers a
Swiss Brown heifer as prize in can
vassing competition, with the option of
500 in money. The contest is not so
important as the prize, and in relation
to the Swiss Brown cow, the CALEDoNI-
AN has this to say
''The Swiss Brown breed of cattle
promise to become the most valuable
breed for the average farmer. They are
hardy cattle acclimated to the rigorous
climate of Switzerland. They are the
equal of the Jersey as butter producers
and are as profitable for beef as the
short horn. They are worth good
money after their milk producing period
has passed. They are rare because cattle
cannot be imported from Switzerland
now. The Swiss Brown IN this country
must be developed from the cattle al
ready here. Mr.. Wallis herd is composed
OF the best bred and developed cattle OF

About 4.3O o'clock Saturday fire was
discovered in the top of Hotel Burning
ton right in the heart of the city and six
hours later the two upper floors of that
building were burned to the outer walls,
the two lower floors were soaked with
tons of water, and the three-story Walk
er building adjoining the hotel on the
south was in ruins with the exception of
the walls, the southwest corner room on
the second floor and the drug store of
w. P. Hall on the corner of ST. Paul and
Main streets. The burned district will
be rebuilt and the insurance adiusters
are there today.
At 400 the blaze was discovered bv
the housekeeper who notified r. F. Col
lamer, the manager, who at once gave
the alarm with the result that the whole
fire fighting organization of the city was
soon on the scene and help was on the
way from Winooski.
The guests and hotel attaches were
warned just in time to escape, but only
with the clothes on their backs. About
rs weekend guests were registered and
most of them lost their personal effects.
The house employees were heavy losers.
The mattresses fed in their dining room
uniforms.
The principal losers are Hotel Bur1ing

Accidents were not numerous, but two
hremen and two citizens were hurt. John

department, is in serious condition

were but slightly injured.

with white drawnwork doilies at each
of the IL covers, were used on an oval
mahogany table. The doilies were
made at Sitka. In the middle Of the
table a mirror held a tall central VASE
of frosted glass, surrounded by four
smaller vases, all filed with white
spring blossoms. The edge Of the
mirror was banked with the same
flowers. Four totem poles were placed
on doilies in the angles made by the
runners.
Place cards were water colors Of

sailed nuts, and tiny Indian baskets
held bonbons. The soup spoons were

were made by Alaskan Indians, and
