ing questions or taking part in general
discussions. Their eagerness to absorb
new knowledge was remarkable. Mr..
Rommel said that nowhere in his eX-
perience in other parts Of the country
had he met with such eager response
or seen the people turn out in such
numbers as in conservative Vermont.
In the course of the day Mr.. Rommel
made announcement of the recent de.
termination of the govermont to go ex-
tensively into the breeding of cavalry
horses in Vermont, New Hamps hire.
Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. A
definite business offer to the farmers of
Vermont. The government intends to
equip this farm with stations Of the
best quality. The farmers may have the
benefit of breeding from these horses
with no service fee charged. The only
condition attached to this service is an
option in the government to buy the
grown-up offspring for $3.50 and even
this option can be avoided at any time
by the payment of reasonable service
fee.
The farm consists of about 435 acres
of beautiful rolling Vermont country
with about 20 buildings on it, all in fine
condition and well equipped. There are
on the farm about 70 horses, including
eight or ten of the finest Morgan stall
lions anywhere to be found. There is
also a flock of very fine southdown
sheep and various farm livestock. Most
famous among the horses is the fine
stallion General Gates which the gov
eminent bought of Col. Joseph Battell
But Red Oak, Bennington and Dewey
and others are about as near perfect as
horse flesh can come.
Feeding Siage to Horses as Illus
trated" on the United States Morgan
Horse farm was discussed by Mr.. Rom
mel. He stated that this method of
feeding had been adopted in order to
lessen the cost of winter feeding. The
plan was giving satisfactory results
both from the standpoint of economy
and that of the health of the animals.
Beginning with five pounds of corn
silage daily, the amount was gradually
increased until each horse was receiving
"a pounds, in addition to 10 pounds of
hay and one pound of linseed meal.
Horse owners were cautioned not to
feed horses any siage that had begun
to mold since one kind of mold had been
found to be fatal to horses.
Mr.. Rommel then conducted a judg-
ing demonstration of Morgan horses.
Using for illustration one of the splen-
did Morgan stations at the government
farm, he pointed out the special fea-
lures that have made the breed famous
He characterized the Morgan as big
horse onrshort legs. The desirable type
of animal has a long sloping shoulder,
round barrel, short coupling and long
hip. The size ranges from 800 to 200
pounds, the larger animal being pre-
ferred.

breeding animals in the animal hus-
bandry division of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, next gave a
short talk preliminary to a judging
demonstration of Ayrshire cattle. He
said that the points to be noted in pick
ing dairy cattle are those which indicate
the likelihood of greatest and most con-
sistent milk production. The general
characteristic to be looked to first is
conformation, the dairy type rather
than the beefy type must be selected
The main things to be judged of are
constitution, capacity, nervous temper
ament and ability to produce Through
out his talk he illustrated each point by
reference to an Ayrshire cow which
posed somewhat restively before the
audience.
Four Ayrshire COWS were next brought
in and the audience were asked 10 Judge
them and hand in signed slips containing
their conclusions.
After dinner f. l.. Shaw, in charge
of the sheep and goat investigations of
the governments animal husbandry
division, gave a practical talk about
southdown sheep ard sheep Judging
He prefaced his talk with little sound
advice about the docking of lambs. Mr..
Shaw prefers to use docking irons be-
cause the possibility of loss from bleed
ing is obviated by so doing. The best
time is when the lambs are from one to
two weeks..old. In the judging of sheep
the eye alone will not suffice, for the
fleece may be so clipped as TO disguise
the conformation. In judging sheep it
is necessary to feel the animal over
with the hand. Markings, conforma-
ton, size, color. fleece, all must be
taken into account to determine the
type, and conformity to type is the i'm.
portant thing,
A heep-judging contest was then car
ried on between those present. South
down sheep We're used, because in the
opinion of the government experts, this
breed on account of its hardness and
combination of fleece and mutton quail
tiles best suits the needs of the Yer
mont farmer.
Standing before cages containing a
number of valuable birds specially sent
up from Washington. Harry M. Lamon,
who has charge of the governments
poultry investigation, explained to those
present the fine points of judging and
breeding hens. He explained that a
weak constitution in a hen is shown by
a green eye, snake head. slit wing,
smaller legs and tendency to nope. He
said the main reason hens do not lay in
the winter is that they were not Matched
early enough to attain full maturity by

STATE AGAIN FACES
 POLITICAL PUZZLE

has plowed it's way into turbu- lent political waters, and during the next few days the crossroads political seers will be hard put to explain the omenS and forecast the future. Less than wo months ago, during the closing days of January, the General As. sembly held in it's power t h e making of political history for the state, and during the coming week the Senate will exercise something of this power.
 The resignation of Governor Robinson Saturday gives the right of succession to the gover- nor's chair to w. c. Oldham. president of the Senate, at least until the president pro tenn is elected. Had Governor Robin son resigned after the president pro tenn had been selected by the Senate, this official would have succeeded to the office at once. The same question that arose in l9~ [ as to whether the president of the Senate holding the gover- nor seat at the time the presi- dent pro tenn was selected shall continue as acting governor, or the president pro tenn assume these duties upon his election, is
 Acting Governor Oldham last night refused to discuss the mat ter Ill any way, which has left the impression that a special election will not be called, at any rate un til after the president pro tem has been selected and the right of succession decided. Should the acting governor plan to call special election previous to the selection of a president pro tenn, he would hardly be expected to have any reason for not wishing to make this fact known.
 AS a result of the elevation of Joe T. Robinson to the United States Senate, an unusual politi- cal situation has arisen, some what similar to the political sit uation of 190T0S, when as many as six governors were sworn in during two years. The powerful political leaders have withdrawn from the field, which is now open to any conqueror who can prove his fitness to rule and gather all of the rebel chiefs beneath his standard.
 In 1908 George W. Donaghey was elected governor on an issue and he held the reigns for four years He was succeeded by Joe T, Robinson, who has retired from the field. The redoubtable Jeff Davis is dead, and his follow ing has scattered and signed for service under other banners, and the field is open. Daily Texark anaian.
