After reading the following statistics
of crime, and especially murder, in the
United States as compared with other
nations, every citizen may we'll be
alarmed and deeply concerned. In all
probability our abnormal commercial
growth and strife is largely the cause,
but some student of social problems
should busy himself and give us the
reason and a possible remedy. The
question of what is the trouble with
our court system might also properly
be asked.
In 1903, Germany, with $4,000, 600
people, reported only 322 homicides,
while the United States, containing
about 80, 900, 900 people, reported the
same year about thirty times as many
homicides-9 900. For 1903 in Germany
the convictions for murder were 95 per
cent of the crimes in the United States,
only 1.3 per cent. This means that in
Germany that year one murderer was
released for each 5000, 900 of the pop
ulaion. but in the United States one
for each 5000 of the population. Ir
1908, of the homicides committed in s..
Louis only IL per cent resulted in the
legal punishment of execution. Ir
Chicago only 6 of one per cent anC
ST. Louis and Chicago are no worse in
this regard than other cities. During
TIVE 1ty-nine years there were 2, II;
homicides in Chicago, and only 80 ex'
ecutions.

TERMS
COW TESTING.

The Monitor believes no one subject is
of such vital Importance to the farm
ers of Orleans county as the subject of
COW testing. The farming of this state
is almost wholly dairy farming and prof
liable dairy farming is carried on
only with profitable cows. Yet men
who are in a position to know claim
that only 40 per cent of the cows in
Vermont dairies, the state over, pay.
In other words, 60 per cent Of the dairy
cows of this state are 'boarders" and
the farmer would be better off without
them at all. This seems like a broad
statement to make and the Monitor
does not like to believe it is true, but
the authority for the statement is fair
ly reliable.
This same authority said that in his
travels up and down the state he had
found scarcely a dozen farmers who
knew what each COW in his dairy was
doing. These farmers without eXcep-
tion were prosperous, and while he
found many well-to-do farmers who
knew nothing about the actual earning
of his Individual cows, these same
farmers might add to their prosperity
by COW testing and the wedding out of
the non-earners. In other words the
income from the COW products of this
state might be about doubled with only
common sense, practical, business
selection of dairy cows.
State Commissioner of Agriculture
o. S. Martin of PIainfeld mas recent
ly issued a bulletin called the Cow
Testing Association number" which
ought to be read by every owner of a
dairy in Vermont. He answers the
question, What is a Cow Testing
Association" as follows:
"A COW testing association is simply
an association of dairymen formed fo1
the purpose of learning the dairy
abilities of their cows: 1t is a method
whereby, through the employment OF
an expert who travels from farm tt
farm, this work is done for the various
members accurately, cheaply, easily
The proposition is one of Danish in
ception. 1t is said that the scheme
originated with a woman, whose hus
band was trying to improve his herd by
careful selection, by weighing the milk
of each cow, testing it for its fat con
tents, and keeping careful record. SHE
conceived the idea that their neighbor!
might cooperate in hiring a man tt
do this work, which could then bt
carried on in greater detail, with less
expense, and perhaps with more
accuracy than by the individual farmer
A community meeting was held, the
plan outlined and the first association
formed in 1895 THE COW testine
association" has had vogue on this con
tlnent for about six years, and sucl
organizations are now being formed il
many dairy sections. There are five o.
more in Maine, few in New York ant
Pennsylvania, many in Michigan
Wisconsin Minnesota, Ohio and othe
states. There are more in Wisconsin
than In any other one state. Some 60 O
more were recently at work in tn
Provinces of Quebec and Ontario. TIL
plan is practical one, it is inexpens
i've, it affords reasonably accurate dat
it possesses educational features, am
1T pays. All this has been demonstrate
beyond the possibility of doubt.

Lead Discovered in Putney.

There is some excitement in Putney
over the discovery of vein of what
is supposed to be galena lead. It is
said that the vein starts on property
owned by Hollis Wright and extends
through the farms of j ohm Nichols and
Fred Leach. Brattleboro lawyers have
been trying to purchase options on
these farms for Philadelphia party.
1t is probable that the vein will be
thoroughly investigated and if the
prospect seems good, a mining industry
may be DEVELOPED,
