Sheep for Vernon,

The National Department of Ags.

United States that the time has come
for them TO embark in the raising
OF Sheppard the call should come
to the farmers of Vermont with es-
pecial interest, it seems to u.s.
Ranges all over the world, the
Department says, are now carrying
about as many sheep as they can
support under strict range sys-
TEN. and an increase in the produc.
ton of sheep products must come
mainly from farms. Here, then, is
the farmers opportunity to take adj
vantage of the increased consump-
| ton of these products.
While mutton can be produced at
low cost and there is a growing de.
mand for 1t, the Department admits
that difficulty in selling may be ex-
perienced in sections where the
amount of live stock produced has
not been sufficient to make it worth
while for regular buyers to operate.
But slaughtering plants that can
handle carloads are within reach of
al sections, and If sufficient num-
Der of neighbors combine to have
100 lambs of similar breeding, size
and condition to ship jointly the re-
turns as assured. 1t will also be

the Vermont sheep question is dis
cussed. the Agricultural Department
makes light of him, comparatively,

serious one in many sections and
better States legislation is needed to
protect fiocks from the ravages OF
worthless ours. Woven wire fences
will turn dogs. the Department says,
and while it is expensive to fence
large pastures in this way. smaller
fields devoted to forage crops will
carry the flock in a more healthy
condition and require much less out
lay for fencing. The whole forage
crop area can be fenced and lower
portable fences used for combining
the sleep to the particular crop

Tho Doomed Shepherd Dog.

The shepherds dog that kills sheep
is doomed. The penalty is death. Ste
venson in one of his essays tells story
of how John Todd, 1.-The Oldest herd on
the Pentlands." once saw a dog he
knew maneuvering toward a pool be-
hind Kirk Yetton.
John lay the closer under the bush
and presently saw the dog come forth
upon the margin, look all about him to
sec il he were anywhere observed,
plunge in and repeatedly wash him.

now openly with tail in air) strike
homeward over the hills" But the
dogs high intelligence did not save
him. John reported his doings, and he

Bears One Crop and Dies.

The sage palm tree bears but one
crop of fruit. Its load Of outs Is its
first and final effort In the way of fruit
bearing. The nuts become ripe and are
strewn In thousands around the tree
until the great stem stands up by itself.
empty and bare. The branches turn
brown and drop one by one TO the
ground. Inside the trunk the work OF
decay is going on until what at one
time was a mass of white sage and
pith becomes nothing but a collection
of rotten brown fibers. One day the
trade wind blows more strongly than
usual. and the leafiess column OF the
trunk falls with a crash, destroying In
its fall many OF the young palms that
are already springing from the nuts
scattered some months before.

HE DENIES DISMISSAL OF
MEN Is MOVE IN RATE CASE

New York, March ga. T. Hardin,
vice president of the New York Central
Railroad today declared that the dismis-
sal of 1900 employees by the Vanderbilt
system since last September had no con-
nection whatever with the application OF
the railroads for an increase In freight
rates. He characterized the charges OF
Clifford c. Thorne, of Iowa, as unjust and
as an unfair means of creating sentiment
antagonistic to the railroads.
Nothing would be more pleasing to the
New York Central" said Mr.. Hardin,
than a revival Of business which would
make it possible for us to employ every
man dropped from our pay rolls. There
seems to be an impression that the COM
pany has resorted to a wholesale dis
missal of men. Such is not the case.
They have been dropped gradually since
last September"
Mr.. Hardin said there are now 1900
employees on the pay rolls of the New
York Central. In addition to the dismis-
sails, he explained, it has been neces-
sary TO reduce some salaries. The COM
pany is still carrying on some important
construction work, he said. Men who
have taken a sufficient interest in their
work TO prepare themselves to step into
the position held by the man just above
him." continued Mr.. Hardin, have not
lost their places"
