which would be welcomed by every hon.
est, ~law-abiding citizen.

1t will not do to impose upon the pub
lie too much, but what about the much
talked-of deer damage. There seems to
be a prevailing opinion among some of
our village friends that the deer Is no
longer welcomed by the farmer. Being
a farmer myself 1t may not be irrelevant
for me to give expression of a recent
investigation l have made by interviews
with about so representative farmers on
this question. To my surprise all but
one answered strongly in favor of the
deer. One said they damaged him about
two dollars worth, but the state allowed
him ten and he was satisfied. One man
owning one thousand acres of land and
In the apple business said they had never
damaged him one cents worth. All
agreed they did not do half the damage
of hawks and woodchucks. Personally
my farm contains $50 acres and they
never damaged me one cents worth,
while from 1t has been taken $45 worth
of venison during the past four years.
Last year the meat the deer furnished
the state the people, amounted to
$4,000 No better quality of meat
grows and no more innocent animal
lives. Any naturalist will tell you that
1t retains its wild instinct and picks
nearly all its living in the woods. A
deer will provide a pound of meat on
one-half the food required for cattle.
Further, II requires ten deer to eat as
much as one COW and they destroy many
obnoxious weeds. The chief complaint Is
they nip the shoots from little apple
trees, but II is safe to say man prunes
off one hundred to the deer one. Any
pomologist will inform you that It is the
fiat top trees that produce fine fruit. II
the deer are so destructive to apple trees,
why is it that some of the western states
which produce the finest fruits and or
chards in the world, have planted and
grown the trees where the deer are and
have been more numerous than In Ver-
mont since the time whereof the memory
of man runneth not to the contrary.
Some claim they ross the little trees, but
this is not true as the rossing is done
only In the thickets of the woodland and
just prior to the CESSATION period. A good
deal OF this talk about deer damage is
similar to the case that comes under my
personal observation The young orchard
Is owned by a party In Brattleboro and
l live in sight of most of the trees pass

ing among and by them many times a
week and l have never yet seen a deer
among them, but whatever happens to
the trees Is laid to the deer. His and
the ~neighbors' cattle and sheep have
been among them about three weeks his
summer and more or less last year and
have devoured at will. / drove them out
several times at first and In their efforts
to brush off the flies they ran against
the trees and broke them off. OF course
this was all deer damage. 1 nave seen
where the whiffietrees and neck-yokes
were responsible for the alleged deer
rossing and where the trees had been
run over by a wheel-harrow l have
seen the employees blowing and har-
rowing, moving and raking with horses
unmuzzled and eating the trees at pleas
ure. one party on the farm recently said
to a neighbor: Probably the boss
wouldn't be any mad If he had seen me
run over about forty of those apple
trees with a horserake this summer"
OF course this is all looked upon as deer
amage and l understand the owner has
been allowed considerable enumeration
from the state. When we get down to
the real facts many other cases are sim
liar to this one. Much of this deer
damage talk is on the part of those who
have violated the law and want an ex-
cuse.
In conclusion, the deer is one of the
greatest natural attractions of this state
and should be protected, The law Is in
every way constitutional and should be
enforced the same as any other. With
out law human society becomes a rope
of sand. Any law should be enforced or
repealed and never violated.

JOINT BOUT
ON THE TAPS

There is a probability that Sailor
Roberts, the well-known local wrest-
Ter, will oppose Joe Thomas of Michi-
gan at the Empire Theater some even
ing this week, according to the terms
of the latter's challenge.
Three of four years ago Froelicher
was easily Roberts superior at the
game but the latter has had
considerable experience since then, in
Guiding several bouts while away on
the mainland, and he will take the mat
a greatly improved man.
There is some talk of match be-
tween Thomas and observation-disclosures,
the former to undertake to throw the
other two men in the same evening.
On account of Froelicher's light
weight a match between him and
Thomas would not look particularly
attractive but he and Roberts should
be able to keep the Michigander's
hands full if an arrangement is made
whereby he tackles them in point
contest.
