RAISE BEEF HERE

The day of the great western range
is gone. The time when fifty or a
hundred acres might be given to feed
ing one steer is no more. The public
lands leased for grazing purposes have
passed into private hands and been
cut up into homesteads, and as the
owners find larger profits in cropping
their land than grazing it, the supply
of western cattle at the great packing
points has been showing steady de-
crease. The deficit in the supply will
be emphasized to considerable ex-
tent by the extensive slaughter made
necessary by the outbreak of hoof and
mouth disease.
New England once produced more
cattle than were required for feeding
its own population. The decline came
with the opening of the western
ranges. The substitution of horses for
oxen for farm work, as cultivation
made the fields smoother and more
easily worked, completed the process
which the opening of the West began,
so that now New England takes most
Of the beef for consumption from the
West.
Good judges assert that beef raised
in the eastern states, if properly
ripened before going on the market,
is superior in flavor to the beef of the
West, just as the juicy apple of the
New Hampshire orchard is superior
to larger and more snowy fruit from
the irrigation areas of the West. The
existing prejudice against native"
beef is largely due to the lack of
refrigerating systems here by which
native beef can be hung until the
fibres have broken down enough to
become tender. 1t lacks nothing of
juiciness or favor, but as now mar
keted it is tough. II present efforts
OF the packers to increase the supply
from this section succeed, proper
facilities will be provided to handle
and care for the product.
When grazing land could be leased
for a few cents an acre and the cat
tie required no housing in winter, New
England could not compete with the
western growers. That condition has
changed. New England farmers who
have turned their attention TO dairy

form the basis Of system of perma-
nent roads. Most Of the spruce on
the forest is dieing as the result Of a
fire which ran through it some six
years ago. Wherever possible, enough
spruce will be left to reproduce the
area to spruce. In few places young
stands of spruce have come in under
white birch. and so far escaped dam
age by fire that they can be saved by
removing some Of the birch. In many
sections the spruce was burned so bad
ly that nearly all the trees are dead
and the few living ones had the roots
burned to such an extent that they
have practically stopped growing and
will die in few years if left. The
areas which are cut clear will be
planted next spring with pine and
spruce.
The cutting in the hardwood stand
will be rather light, removing only
the over-mature tree and leaving
enough to reproduce the most valua-
BILE trees in the stand, namely, ash,
Eastwood, and yellow birch. The pur-
pose of the Forestry Department in
this forest is to gradually
eliminate the poor trees and substi-
tute thrifty rapid growing varieties,
so that the people of Rutland will have
an opportunity in time of seeing an
ideal forest. The cost of planting
will be largely covered by the proceeds
from the cuttings.

BURNS MUCH LIME

Pennsylvania has nearly one-half Of
the total number of lime producers in
the United States, but its production
is about 25 per cent of the total guam
tity and 20 per cent of the total value
Lime burning as an industry is scat
tered pretty well over the state. In
1912 the production amounted to $780,
159 short tons, valued at $2,679,420;
in 1913 it increased to S52,927 tons,
valued at $2,743,197. As an indica-
ton of the scattered character of the
lime burning industry it is stated by
the United States Geological Survey
that the average value of the lime
production per establishment in Penn
sylvania in 1913 was about $500.

CERTAIN RESULTS
Many Manchester Citizens Knows
How Sure They Are.


Nothing uncertain about the work
of Doan's Kidney Pills in cases of
kidney trouble. There is plenty of
positive proof of this in the testimony
of citizens. Such evidence should con-
vince the most skeptical doubter.
Read the following statement.
Mrs. L. H. Stevens, Manchester
Depot, VT, says: "Doan's Kidney
Pills did me world of good when
had kidney trouble. All kidney suf-
ferers will do well to give this remedy
a fair trial. In my case Doan's Kid
ney Pills have always lived up to the
claims made for them and also know
Of many other people who have had
benefit from their use. The endorse
ment | have given before still holds

HORSE RAISING HERE

Purchases Of thousands Of mounts
in the middle West for the warning
armies Of Europe call attention to the
iecadence Of New England in the
( raising of horses This section for
merly produced all its riding, driving
and draft stock At the time of the
civil war New England not only fur
nished mounts for her own cavalry
| but sent other thousands of horses to
the field. New England horses found
ready sale in other parts of the coun-
try. With the opening Of the extern
sive ranges of the West, the breeding
Of the cheaper range horses and later
of the heavier type of draft animal,
more desirable for farm work and
certain other uses, horse breeding here
declined Now not single New Eng
land state raises its own horses, but
carloads are imported every year from
Ohio, Iowa, Kansas, and other west
eTn states.
The Vermont Morgan, typical
eastern strain, was permitted to be-
come almost extinct, though it is adj
mittedly one of the best breeds for
use in this section. Interest in the
Morgan has revived in the last few
years. Morgans bring fancy prices in
the New York markets and win prizes
at the horse show, so Morgan clubs
are forming and fanciers are keen for
choice specimens Of that breed. The
United States government has become
interested in the Morgan as a cavalry
horse and maintains breeding station
for them, with the idea that it may
eventually produce its own mounts,
and, if not, may encourage the east
ern farmers to breed horses suitable |
for that purpose.
The increasing use Of the automo-
bile has not driven the horse from
the field nor lowered the price Of good |
animals. There is steady and profit |
able demand for fancy driving stock
and for medium weight general pur-
pose animals, suited to the lighter
work Of the farms and road work over
the New England hills. The European
war not only makes heavy demands |
on cur present supply, but it will re-
suit in a call for our animals to re-
store the supply abroad when the war
is ended. Our own western supply is
likely to be so depleted by foreign
shipments that New England may en-
gage in horse raising on even terms
with the states upon which she now
relies for her own supply.-Boston

Tea Table Etiouette.

A hundred years or more ago there
was a quaint tea table etiquette. II
was considered lack Of courtesy to
take much cream or sugar In ones tea.
Etiquette demanded that the tea should
be tasted from the spoon and that the
hostess should then inquire. rs your
tea agreeable" Modern women would
be shocked by fashionable lady Of
those days who cooled her tea with her
breath. yet Young wrote Of certain
bewidering Lady Betty:
Her two red lips affected zephyrs blow
To cool the Bohea and infiame the beau,
While one white finger and thumb con.

To lift the cup and make the world admire
