notice an editorial about the
wild deer in Vermont and the dam
age claims for destroyed crops.
What you say is true. The fish
and game laws of Vermont are very
vague, cumbersome, and often used
to force cash out of ignorant aud
innocent parties. The laws are
changed every two years and are
made expressly to benefit the head
wardens and to cater to out of the
state sportsmen, while the farmers
are expected to furnish the sport
ing land, feed the game and fish
and kindly be run over and kiss the
rod that snites them look pleasant.
Wardens are appointed and told
hey must sweat their pay out of
the common herd or not have any
cash. Now all this is wrong. The
high officials of the state continual
ly howl against the fee system in
law courts, but advocate the sweaty
system in fish and game procedure.
Why not turn out the whole fish
aid game warden crow d and leave
the enforcement Of the laws to town
officials and save $4,000 a year for
old age pensions?

Sueculators Gather Choice Fruits and
Dairy Product During Time of
Abundance and Hold Them.
New York City.-The Beef Trust
boosted the price of fresh meat higher
than it had been in two years and
made preparations for putting vast
quantities into cold storage. "A dry
summer" is the excuse. Ribs and IONS
are now 16 " cents a pound at whole
sale, a rise of " cents since the hrst
of the year. Even chuck meat is up
half a cent or so.
The packers agents intimate New
Workers. may have to pay further
advance. Meantime the meat will be
kept in cold storage.
The butter and egg and poultry
spectators, too, made another move
in the effort to lock up big lot OF
dairy products. They are crying
about the dry summer, the great
scarcity of grass. and so forth, and
SO forth, and they look forward to
rise in prices that will enable them to
scoop in from the New York public
several million dollars extra profit
this winter.
The apple spectators also are busy
gathering or contracting for enormous
quantities of fruit, to be locked up In
cold storage
And while the spectators are doing
all this the Brennan Cold Storage law
is not being used. Violation of it is
misdemeanor. Trials for that class OF
offense ordinarily take piece IN
Special Sessions, bu as far as any one
in court could remember there has
not been a single prosecution in this
city under the Brennan act, though
it has been in force since the middle
of June
Under the guise of philanthropists
Who are mercy trying to keep the
public supplied with food the year
round cold storage men have develop
n ore than one and a half billions of
collars capital.
The fond spectators have kept on
reaching out and out, until now
scarcely any crop is out of their
clutches. In this way an enormous
system has been built up-a system
which steps in between the growers
and the consumers and makes every
body pay tribute 1t was shown re-
Gently before a Senate committee In
Washington, D. c., that more than
$4,000, 100000 in. meats. game, dairy
products, fruits and vegetables was
annual put in cold storage in this
country. The cost of keeping this food
is paid ultimately by the consumer.
There was evidence tC show that
the statement that only the surplus
was put in cold storage was untrue.
The storage men themselves admitted
they gather in the choicest fruits and
dairy products at the season of abund-
ance, when C~alities are the best.
Thus ne market practically is
stripped of choice butter and eggs
in April, May and June. The COM
petition in buying at that season for
cold storage puts the price above nor
NAL, and unless something extraor-
binary happens the price stays high.
