Seal farming is the latest enterprise

This may seem a trife extravagant,
but George NJ. Bowers, commissioner
of fisheries, is authority for the state

be propagated in the fresh water lakes
Of New York state
Christmas Presents Handy.
Apparently Christmas present of a
sealskin coat by New York lakeside
farmer soon will be largely matter
of telling his wife to go down to the
"rookery'' back of the house and take
her pick of live pelts.
Mr.. Bowers statement is based on
experiments that the bureau of fisher
les has been conducting for the last six
months. The bureau has had two fur
bearing seal pups in captivity and has
demonstrated not only that the pups
can be raised by hand, but that they

This experiment by the bureau Of
fisheries has poked large hole in the
theory heretofore held by naturalists
that fur bearing seals will not live in
captivity or outside their natural habi-
tat
Means Seals Perpetuation.
What the demonstration by the bu-
reau of fisheries may mean in COM
mercia1 way can hardly be appreciat-
ed. The trade in skins taken on the
Pribilof islands has amounted to more
than $50,000.000 since the government
came into possession of these small bits
of barren lands The United States
has received 100000 alone for the
privilege of hunting on these islands,
which is 100000 more than the gov
eminent paid for all of Alaska.
When the United States bought these
islands IN connection with Alaska there
We're 100000 seals on them. Now
there are only 10000, and the govern
ment has been obliged to terminate its
lease with the Alaska Commercial com
pany with view to giving the herd an
opportunity to multiply.
What would like to know" observ-
ed one Washington philosopher, lis
whether the women folks will accept
sealsl1ins after we get to growing them
at home"

We declare unequivocally for the
conservation of our nations resources
according to the wisest methods. We
approve all necessary and beneficial
! internal improvements.
Believing that the power of the in
dependent voter is rapidly growing
throughout the nation and will soon
dominate our land, we invite the vot-
ing citizens of Vermont to unite with
us and support our ticket at the
polls, as the surest and most effec-
tive way by which to register public
sentiment on these issues and the
need for a final Punishment from our
commonwealth of the liquor traffic
and the forces of greed and corrup-
ton with which they are so closely
associated.
We deplore the fact that the people
(voters) fail to realize their individ-
ual responsibility for the evils that
result from the federal protection of
the liquor traffic, the traffic being
creation of the government and gov
ernment being a creation Of the peo-
pie (yoters) it therefore becomes po-
tent to every real thinking man who
supports either of the two dominant
political parties that believe in con-
trolling and prohibiting the liquor
, traffic, that he must be a partner in
the traffic's evil work, work which
sends on the sane ship on which
churches send missionaries, cargoes
of intoxicating liquors to undo the
work which the missionaries have
gone forth to do Will the churches
and ministry make a note of this
fact and arouse themselves to coun-
teract and hinder the spread of this
enormous evil by every legal and
| moral action in their power.
