pampas, the South African veldts, or
the Australian plains. These foreign
sheep, however, are very thing wool
ed and light fleeced. Imported rams
are often used to grade up the quail
ity and thickness of the wool. This
demand for breeding animals is a per
petual one since the hot climate eau
ses rapid deterioration of the intro
duced blood. Since Vermont Merin-
os excel they will always be in de-
mand.
1t is in another direction that Yer
mont sheep-raisers should look. The
increasing popularity of lamb and
mutton as meats" Mr.. Atwood says,
spells success for the Vermont
breeder of the mutton types. The
nearness to market and the high
quality of the product should enable
Vermont mutton to compete success
fully with range fed mutton, even
though the gain in weight is secured
more economically on the range.
Choice breeding animals of the NUT
ton types are also good property.
Many breeders are now successfully
catering to this demand and there is
plenty of room for more to engage
in this PURSUIT"
This seems logical, and it ought
to have practical effect.-Burlington

Sheep Husbandry in Vermont

A timely, interesting and valuable
publication is a bulletin from the
office of the state Commissioner of
Husbandry in Vermont" The writer
of this bulletin, Mr. Kenneth H. At
wood of ,BridgewateB graduate in
the class of 1912 of the College of
Agriculture of the University of Yer
mont, made a special study of the
history and present status of the
sheep industry in Vermont as sub
ject for the senior thesis, and his
present essay shows careful prepara-
ton and full knowledge of the sub
ject
Vermont Merino sheep had world
wide fame a generation ago, and the
record price of $500 for ram is
still spoken of with bated breath In
the COS there was large Australian
demand for our Merinos, but since
1900 no further shipments have been
made, although many breeders be-
lieve that Vermont Merinos will
again be needed there to thicken up
the light Australian fieeces. Sheep
are still shipped to South Africa and
of late are being sent to Uruguay,
Argentina and Brazil ]. A. Wright
of Middlebury is now the only prom
inent foreign shipper. He lbs been
exporting for thirty years and has
sold to every sheep-raising country
but Russia. This expectation drain
has not been made good of late years,
hence the number of Merinos in Yer
mont has steadily decreased. Mr.. 4.
~ Bissell of Shoreham, one of the
best of the later breeders, however
is quoted as saying that the quality
has increased since inferior 1ocks
have been eliminated. He claims
that this situation has been brought
about because Of the fact that the
export trade which demands high ex-
cellence and absolute blood purity
has necessitated careful breeding and
management
The number of coarse wool sheep
in Vermont has steadily increased in
the last two decades Nearly every
breed is now represented within her
borders. They now outnumber the
Merinos and, despite the disfavor and
opposition of fine wool breeders, are
gaining in numbers and in general
favor. Mr.. Atwood thinks that Mer-
mos will never again be a factor in
Vermont sheep husbandry. Their
chief product is wool and this cannot
be raised in Vermont, as cheaply as
on Western ranges, or among the
great hocks of the South American

There is so much good advice con
IN, email cnaca of tba obi
torial columns of the Boston Trans
cript yesterday that the paragraph is
here reprinted;
There need not be much sympathy
for the Maine and Ohio people who
complain that they have been defraud-
ed in making real estate Investments
at long range, near New York City.
Ii such persons were willing to use
their eyes and ears and brains, they
could find plenty of safe opportunities
at home"
Those people of Maine and Ohio
are going throug han experience sim
liar to that which many Vermont peo-
pie have had in decades past, VIXEN
they were attracted by the alluring
prospectuses presented by promoters
of properties in distant sections of
the country and have been induced
to subscribe heavily for stock in al
legged splendid companies Those YER
mont people received their lesson. and
more and more Vermont money is be-
ing invested right in Vermont; and
persons who feel disposed to take their
wealth out of the state are making
examination in person of the propos-
itions. Now and then we read of
parties of Vermont business men or
ganized to visit some section where
a land boom is TO be tried or where
a mine of some sort is located; but
those excursions are not so attractive
as they used to be and to those who
participate the prospects are not so
alluring. Therefore. Vermont's indus
tries are showing a growth. and the
natural resources of the state are
being developed to a certain extent
Nevertheless, we need just such a re-
minder as that which is brought BY
the experience of the Maine and Ohio
people who made long range invest

ing that they were defrauded. 1t will
serve to impress more deeply the
conviction that money invested att
home, even though at a lower rate of
return, is the better in the long run.

ABSOLUTE CURE IS CLAIMED FOR
 CONSUMPTION
German Expert Says Remedy For Dread White Plague, Sought For Centuries, Now Available

He declared that the remedy for the dread white p1auge, sought by seien- tists for centuries, is at last available. The doctor also said he knew that he had achieved what all others have sought and was now chiefly concerned with getting the remedy into the hands of doctors who can use it every where.
 The serum originally produced from turtles said the doctor. '.is easily used. One injection usually drives all signs of tuberculosis from the system, Not only that, but it irnmunes against tuberculosis as vaccination does against smallpox. My method is to inject the serum into the buttock or into the arn.''

He has been in touch by cable with a, number of Americans and has been deluged with offers to place his discovery on tf1es market but has positively turned that he will not send the serum to anyone but responsible physicians and prefers to instruct the doctors who will use the cure at the outset in per son
