reports that, owing to improved meth
DDS Texas is now capable of doubling
its output OF cattle, And "vestpocket
ranchmen." according to this author,
ity, will take a leading part in the re-
vival OF the cattle industry. They are
the men who on one to five sections
of land are raising two or three times
as many cattle as were formerly pro-
Guced in an equal area.
Intelligent use of forage crops and
silos in the fattening of cattle makes
their production highly profitable
says, this expert cattleman. Where
cattle formerly lost zoo pounds head
during the winter months, when fed
on silage and a little dry forage, they
gain 500 pounds. An Oklahoma cattle
breeder testifies that silage causes an
increase of $40 in the profits on each
steer he sends to market. Higher ma.
thematics are not required to prove
the immense economic advantages OF
adding 500 pounds of juicy beef to
| each of the 100000 cattle that are
now "roughed through" the winter in
stead of being fattened in that sea-
son.
Not only in the vast grazing coun-
try of Texas but elsewhere similar
measures to those adopted by the
''vestpocket ranchmen" are likely to
! add materially to the beef production
Recently the Kansas Agricultural col
| lege discovered that kafir corn and
sorghum when harvested at the right
time make silage fully equal to that
produced by Indian corn. According
to one authority. this means that the
so-called dry land" regions are put
| on a beef fattening basis. more than
$50, 900 acres being thus added to
the area tha can profitably produce
finished beef cattle.
With the carrying capacity of such
extensive ranges doubled or greatly in
creased, it is evident that, although
the domestic cattle supply has de-
creased 80 per cent since 1906, while
the population has increased IL per
cent, much can be done within the
next few years to close the gap be-
tween supply and demand.
There have been many plucky ex-
hibitions of the Roundup in years
| gone by but no crowd could ever de-
sire to see a more courageous and
determined fight that was put up yes
terday by Corporal Roy Hunter, the
first entry in the bulldogging con-
| test. A man who can fight like that
is worthy of being a general instead
| of a corporal.

Vermont, the Land of Green Mountains.


Vermont the Land of Green Noun
tains, book of 2O8 pages. has just
been issued by the Vermont Publicity
Printing company. It is printed on
high grade paper, and upon the en-
bossed cover is the state seal. There
are many illustrations of Vermont see
merry plcturing the attractions of every
county in the state. The first edition
consists of 10000 copies.
The purpose of this book, first of all,
is to attract tourists to Vermont and
having brought them here to furnish
in condensed form such information
as visitors might be expected to desire.
The introduction or foreword sets forth
in a general way the attractions of
Vermont as tourist resort. Special
emphasis is laid upon the Green Noun
tains.
The great asset of New Hampshire
as tourist state has been the White
Mountains, but the Green Mountains
greater extent than the White Noun
tains dominate New Hampshire.
There is charm in the name Green
Mountains. Business men realize the
value of an appropriate name for the
products they have to sell. The name
Green Mountains ought to be worth a
great deal to Vermont in the contest
for the summer tourist business.
A brief sketch has been printed of
each town in the state, the towns being
arranged by counties. The plan has
been to give a few facts of general
historic interest, something of the see
mic attractions. mention of the fish
caught in the waters of the town as
indicated by the report of the state fish
and game commissioner, and an allu-
sion to any natives of the town who
have gained a national reputation.
The Orleans county chapter relates
the fact that the town of Barton was
named for Col. William Barton, who
captured Sir William Prescott, the
British commander in Rhode Island,
and that the town was granted to Col.
onel Barton, to John Paul Jones, the
naval hero of the Revolution and to
their associates.
The town of Charleston was first
called Navy, having been granted to
Commodore Whipple, naval officer of
the Revolution. and his shipmates. The
town of Jay was named for John Jay,
whom most of the town was granted
in recognition of his powerful influence
in the settlement of the dispute be-
tween Vermont and New York. The
sketch of this town also contains de-
scription of Jay Peak. The county
chapter also tells the story of Runaway
pond in Glover, mentions the impor-
tant asbestos deposits in Lowell, de-
scribes the scenic attractions of New
port and Lake Memphremagog and pic
lures the beauties of Willoughby lake
in Westmore.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

The statement made by this paper a
few weeks ago of the Dillingham;
Clement combination has stirred up the
politicians all over the state. Two pa.
pers take up the matter and simply
ridicule the editor. But the merits of
the combination is not touched upon,
neither is it denied. This silence
would seem to show such a combina-
tion actually exists. Dillingham; for
United States senator and Clement for
governor. If that doesn't show the
Old Guard proposes to run things in
the Republican party then the wind is
not in the north when the straws go
south.
1t was too bad for this paper to give
away the well-laid plans of the Repub-
licans. 1t cannot be the big powers
imagined for a minute that the game
would be plain just the minute the
Herald came out in support of Dilling-
ham. With such plan on foot it was
actually 'foolish" for Mr.. Clement to
show his hand so early in the game.
There is a deeper-laid plot in this
combination than appears on the sur
face. The motive is big one and the
facts are quite likely to come to light
before long.-Burlington Clipper.
We are sorry for the Clipper. 1t
says this Dillingham;. Clement article
''stlrred up the politicians all over the
state.' In the next sentence it says,
1.-TWO papers take up the matter "
Then to cap the climax, the Clipper
says. 'This silence would seem to show
such combination really exists.'' Yes,
it made an awful furore, two papers
commented upon it, one little county
weekly, and neither of them took it
seriously. We imagine this is the first
instance on record where the politicians
of Vermont have been "stirred," and
only two papers commented upon the
great stroke that stirred them. And
then to think that the "silence" of the
''stirred" politicians of this entire
state prove the truth of an ultra Pro-
gressive hallucination. This "silence"
of the politicians, please note, also
proves that they are "stirred."
For not touching upon the merits of
the matter, Dear Clipper, we apologize
We did not know Of the deal until it
came to us in the Clipper. So we
could not deny it. Of course we should
have swallowed it then, hook, line and
.sinker.
The Clipper proceeds and says, cit

away the well-laid plans of the Repub-
LEANS" Further down it says, There

the surface. The motive is a big one

are quite likely to come to light before

awful.

"plot" before. We are surprised that
there are ''facts" to leone to Light

not given to US all.

Are we to have a branch of the
Green Mountain club in Orleans coun-
ty? This state organization is building
a trail along the Green Mountain
ridge. We notice an organization has
been perfected in Lamoille county to
help with the work by assisting to
build the trail through it's section of
the state. Is Orleans county dead on
the proposition? We will have the
terminus, the most valuable part of the
trail, and yet nothing is being done
locally to encourage or sustain the
idea. In the mountains of Willoughby
or Jay peak are possible terminals, or
both might be made stopping places by
splitting the trail. This is an op.
portunity for us.

Advertising Vermont is Carried on Wig
orously

Several weeks ago, Secretary of
State Guy w. Bailey caused to be
printed some large cards, handsomely
embossed, bearing at the top in gold
letters on a cream-white background,
the words, 'Tour Vermont, the
Green Mountain State" The state
seal occupied the center of the card,
which also bore the words "Recipro-
cal Automobile Law-Delightful Boat
ing = Excellent Fishing - Charming
Scenery. These booklets free-'Ver-
mont in Summer Gllustrated) Yer

and Game Laws.
Guy W. Bailey,
''Secretary of State,

Several hundred of these cards were
sent to the principal hotels in the
various states Of the Union, with re-
quest that they be displayed. A few
quest, were sent to some of the best
hotels in the following foreign coun-
tries: Bermuda, Cuba, British Column
bia, Manitoba and Northwest territory
New Brunswick, ewfoundland, Nova
Scotia, Ontario. Quebec, England

China, Denmark, Egypt, France, Ger
many, Holland, Hungary, India,
Italy, Japan, Monaco. Norway, Por-
tugal, Roumania, Spain, Russia, Swe-
den, Switzerland, Turkey. Australia,
South Africa, South America.
Although these letters were sent
out only few weeks ago and the time
has been short in which to get re-
turns from this form of publicity,
already the responses have been very
gratifying, both from this country and
from foreign countries. The large
number of letters received express
an admiration for the attractiveness
of the card, a willingness to post
the card in conspicuous place, and
a hearty spirit of cooperation in the
good work of giving publicity to the
scenic attractions of Vermont.
