TO STUDY CREAMERIEs
u. S. Department of Agricultur
Sends Man to Vermont.

U. >. Department OF agriculture
Sends Man to Vermont.
The dairy division of the Bureau
of Animal Industry of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture has delegat-
ed Henry w. Larson, creamery ex-
pert, to do work in Vermont in coop
Grafton with the state department of
agriculture. Mr.. Larsen is a grad
uate of the Dairy School of the Iowa
College of Agriculture and has for
sometime been connected with the
dairy division in charge of demon
stration creameries. His headquar-
ters while in Vermont will be at ST.
Adams.
Mr.. Larson will first of all study
the creamery situation in Vermont
and will be willing to give assistance
in matters pertaining to creamery
operation and butter making to
creameries desiring such assistance.
Ultimately he plans to conduct de-
monstrations in a few creameries
in the state with a view to improv-
ing the quality of the product and
to stopping leaks and losses so that
the largest possible over-run may
be secured.
S. G. Thompson, in charge of dairy
Notwithstanding 1nN0SIlSdIlOuS Oh the
dairy division, who came to Vermont
to start Mr.. Larson in his work, says
that in his opinion, which is based on
reports received from Vermont
creameries, an over-run of per
cent larger than is now being Sc
cured may be easily obtained. This
would mean that creameries would
be able to pay II cents more for
butter fat if this additional over-run
could be secured.
Mr.. Larson will supplement the
work now being done by w. E. Ayres
the state creamery inspector, Civ
ing more time to some of the specific
creamery problems than Mr.. Ayres
is able to do. In Mr.. Ayres and Mr..
Larson Vermont has two valuable
men who should, with the coopera-
ton of our creamery men and dairy
men, be able to accomplish much in
the way of improving the quality of
our dairy products.

whether or not it is best to continue
to increase expenditures. The state
expects more revenue than ever be-
fore from automobile fees and cor
poration taxes.
1t would seem that the state is
nearly to the limit of receipts from
these two sources and is already
levying a direct tax of ten cents on
a dollar so any further increase in
state taxes will mean an increase in
direct tax.

Progreesive vermont Farmers.

Progress Is a much used word
and is held before all men as some
thing to be attained. Progressive
methods are urged in all lines of &C
tivity and sometimes are so strong
ly urged that we fail to credit the
particular interest addressed with
the progress it has already made
In Vermont writer's are urging more
gree that indicates the farmer Of
today is considered an unprogres-
sive person. Perhaps it has been
talked until the farmer believes it
himself to some extent. This pos
sibility makes a study of the facts
necessary and particularly interest
ing. The statements we give are
not those of the farmer or his friend
but of the federal government.
Census figures show that in 1910
there were in Vermont 492,659
acres less Of improved farm land
in Vermont than in 1900, condi-
ton that suggests a serious decrease
in the amount of farm products. We
are unable to find some instructive
figures in this connection, namely
a comparison of the average yield
of crops per acre for the two years
mentioned-but here are some fig
ures that tend to show better farm
ing in the state than ten years ago.
The value of Vermont farms in
creased during that time thirty-four
per cent, or more than one third.
The value of all farm crops has in
creased fifty-one per cent, or more
than half. The value of live stock
increased twenty-six and nine
tenths per cent, or a little over one
quarter. These increases in value
of products on a decreased acreage
indicates better farming.
1t is often claimed the farmers
are not prosperous but the figures
show that in 1890 forty-one and
eight-tenths per cent of the value of
farms was owed for while in 1910
this percentage had been reduced to
thirty-three and seven-tenths. In
other words, in 1890 the Vermont
farmers owned about six-tenths of
the value of their farms clear of
debt and in 1910 nearly seven
tenths. The average equity in farms
increased forty-three and six-tenths |
per cent.
Another creditable fact for the |
Vermont farmer is that the average !
number of pounds of butter pc COW !
is higher in Vermont than in any !
other state in the Union and the av-
erage yield and value of crops per |
acre exceeds that of many of the !
leading agricultural states of the |
middle west.
These facts should not turn the
head of the farmer and develop
self satisfied feeling. He should not |
only consider what he has done but
what he ought to do with all the ad-
vantages he possesses. But it must |
be said that his showing is a very
good one and that he probably can
show more actual progress than |
some Of the people who shout that |
he should be more progressive.

WANT LARGE SUM FROM TINS
Sons of Gen. Ben Alad Are Suing
Small Country for the Recovery
Of $73,ooo,ooo.

A case has begun before the civil
tribunal of Tunis which the sons of
the late Gen. Ben Aiad Cor Ayed) are
suing the defendant, the government
of the regency, for. fantastic sum Of
money, something like s73,000.000.
The claim has been heard OF at
intervals for the last half century, Is
briefly as follows:
In 1856 Emperor Napoleon III was
asked to arbitrate between the hey
of Tunis and his fayorite, Gen. NAH
mud Ben Alad. The hey accused the
general of robbing the public treas
ury.
Napoleon III. consented to be UNI
pire and sentenced Gen. Ben Aiad to
refund to the Tunisian government
the sum of half million sterling.
AS for the final settlement of accounts
between the general and the govern
ment, that was a matter which the
arbitrator left to the Tunis courts to
decide.
The general retired to CONSTANT
nople without calling for a settlement
of accounts and nothing was heard Of
the affair until 1886, when one of his
sons sued the Tunis government be-
fore the Seine tribunal for one and a
half million sterling.
The case was next heard of four
years ago, when the claim had risen
to $60,000,000. Now it is $73.000.000.

HAS SENT PHOTOS BY WIRE
French Inventor Succeeds In What a
Few Years Ago Was Consid-
cred Impossible.

NJ Edouard Belin. q French in
ventor, has succeeded in telegraphing
a photograph from Bordeaux to Paris
in the record time of four minutes.
NJ Belin's process differs radically
from Korn's method. Instead of us
ing selenium, he prepares a photo
graphic plate the basis of which is BIZ
chremated gelatine and the surface
OF which is uneven. A small metal
point, passing over the uneven surface
of the plate, causes a variation of the
electrim current. which renders pos
sible the transmission over a tele-
graph or telephone wire of the lights
and shades of half-tone plates, and
is attended with remarka BILE regular
ity end speed. The most interesting
feature of NJ Belin's invention is that
it is possible TO carry about small
apparatus weighing about Is pounds,
and Immediately attach it at any tele-
phone station. This renders possible
the telephoning of pictures over long
distances. In the experiment referred
TO made recently a photograph six
inches by five was sent. An hour
was occupied in preparing the plate.

GOLLMAR BROTHERS CIRCUS
HAS GREAT ENSEMBLE
OF CLOWNS.

Buster Brown, Little Memo, Happy
Hooligan and Foxy Grandpa, would
certainly make great quintette, at
least, SO the Gollmar Brothers think,
and they back their opinion by pay
ing notorious mischiefmakers large
sum to travel with the Gollmar
Brothers circus.
Those grotesque characters have
been impersonated on the stage, with
satisfactory results A great deal
better opportunity will be given them
to display their eccentric disposition
on the ten-acre exhibition grounds of
the Gollmar Brothers circus. Happy
Hooligan and Foxy Grandpa will be
very conspicuous about the Gollmar
tents this year, and, with Little Memo
and Buster Brown and thirty-fve
other testers to assist them, very
funny time is expected Another
laughable clown stunt will be an os-
trich hunt With comical clown as
Theodore Roosevelt.
The South African ostrich hunt will
for convenience, take place on the
great hippodrome track of the Coll
mar Brothers show, and it will prove
to be the most comical burlesque ever
seen under canvas. Then Little Bus
ter Brown and his pup have lot
Of funny ctuntc alOnu with tho iOllv
crowd of other funny clowns.
Gollmar Brothers circus viii
certainly furnish plenty of genuine
and innocent fun for the patrons of
that circus when it exhibits in
Wausau.
