SKUNK ON HIGHER PLANE.
Animal Now Being Protected by Nation
as Well as by Vermont.

Lyndonyille, Jan. Vermont. by act
OF its last legislature. provided for pro-
lection to the skunk from commercial
trappers, leaving ample provision that
landowners suffering damage by these
animals might stop the damage The
object of this law was to permit the
boys and trappers to receive the larg-
est return from the skins of these ami
mails, II having been ascertained that no
inconsiderable amount was received by
ermonters for the fur Of the skunk.
Now the department Of agriculture at
Washington has determined that the
skunk should be added to the list of
natural resources which should be con
served or protected instead of being ex-
terminated. The department Classics
the skunk as an animal of great inn
portance, and asks that it be given the
same protection that the federal agents
now are compelled TO exercise in the pre-
vention of bird slaughter. "Some or
the most destructive insects in agricul-
ture are such as do their work below
ground and out of reach of any method
that the farmer can apply, and it is
against many OF these that the skunk
is an inyeterate enemy" The statement
asserts that Notwithstanding all this
there is probably not an animal that is
as ruthlessly slaughtered as this one

Men of Foundered British
Submarine Are Com
municated With
THIRD SHIP OF TYPE
TO MEET DISASTER
AT Failed to Come to Sur
face at End of the
MannuVreS

Plymouth, England, Jan. l6.-The
British submarine A foundered off here
to-day and there is fear that the crew
will not be rescued, although at o'clock
this afternoon the parentship Onyx got
into communica tion with the sunken sub
marine and found that all were alive at
that hour.
The submarine was engaged in exer.
cises in the sound with sister vessels
and failed to come to the surface with
the others when the maneuvres were
brought to an end. Several salvage
steamers were soon on the scene and
began a search for the missing subma-
rine, which was finally located on the
bottom of Cawsend bay. The subma.
rine had been so long below that naval
experts feared that the fate of the II
officers and men was sealed until the
Onyx got into communication with her.
The AT was built in 1904. She meas
ures $50 fee9 in length. Two other
vessels of exactly the same type have
met with disaster in the past, one with
the loss of four lives and the other with
the loss of Is lives.

from the failure of the crops.
The presidents appeal is as follows:
"Our sister nation of Japan is suffer
ing from two very serious disasters.
The failure of crops in the northeastern
part of that country has brought hun
dreds of thousands of persons face to
face with the terrible misery of slow
starvation and in the southwestern is
land of Kyushu a sudden great volcanic
eruption has carried death and desoIa-
tion to large numbers in thickly popu-
lated district.
Il appeal to the humanity of our
American people that they may give ex-
preston to their sympathy for the suf-
fering and distress of so many of their
fellow men by generous contributions
for their aid. Such contributions can
be made to the local Red Cross treasur-
er, or sent directly to the American Red
Cross, Washington, d. G."
Red Cross headquarters announced
last night that an appeal had been sent
out to all state chapters asking local
chapters to gather the funds.

WAS OFTEN HoNoRED.
Guideon d. Miner of Middlebury Died
Suddenly Yesterday.

| MiddlebuFy, Jan. l6.--Guideon d.
Miner died suddenly at about one O'Clock
yesterday at his lone on Court street
Mr.. Miner had been about the village
during the morning and was on his way
to dinner when he became i'll on the
street and had to be assisted to his
home. He died before a physician ar
rived.
Mr.. Miner was native of Bridport,
but spent most Of his active and bust
ness life in Middlebury In his early
business life in Middlehury he was a
partner in the hardware firm of John j..
Buttolph & company and later was in
the retail iewelry trade as partner of
Judson A. Wright. For 30 years or so he
was engaged largely in the raising of
high-priced sheep and was also large
dealer in wool for the wholesale markets.
Mr.. Miner was for many years an Of
fetal of Middlebury village in various
capacities, holding among other Offices
that of village trustee and lister. He was

27 PER CENT. TILLABLE
LAND CULTIVATED
This Conclusion Is Based by Government
on Reports from $4,000 Correspond
ents-Country Is Far from
Being Fully Developed.

Washington, d. c., Jan. l6.-0nly 27
per cent. of the tillable land of the
United States is actually under cultiya
ton, according to estimates OF the de-
partment of agriculture, based upon re-
ports of $4,000 correspondents. These
reports were obtained in order to gain
information as to the tillable area of
the United States the amount of land
that cannot be used for crops that have
to be ploughed, but available for pasture
or fruits, and the total number of acres
that never can be used for agricultural
purposes. From the returns, which were
generally very consistent, preliminary
estimates have been made for each state
and for the United States. Further in
yestigation in the far western states
may modify somewhat the present estl-
mate for those states.
The entire United States, excluding
foreign possessions, contains about l., ,900-
100000 acres. OF this area about go per
cent. or l,l400000O0 acres is estimated
to be tillable, that is, capable of being
brought under cultivation by means of
the pillow. This includes land already
under such cultivation and that which in
the future may be brought under cul-
tivation by clearing, drainage, irriga
tion, etc.
Three hundred and sixty-one million
acres or 10 per cent, are estimated to be
tillable but valuable for pasture or
fruits. Only 2l per cent, or 399000000
acres, was estimated to be of no use
for agriculture, present or future.
According to. the census of 1909, the
land area in crops where acreage was
given was. 81 100000 acres. This is
about l6 per cent. of the total land area
or about 27 per cent. of the estimated
potential tillable area of the United
States, excluding foreign possessions.
I'm other words, for every 100 acres
that are now titled, about 375 acres may
be titled when the country is fully de-
yeloped. In the development of the agri
culture of the country the land which |
was most easily brought into state of
as the great Mississippi val |
ley, was the first to be brought into |
such use. Extension of titled area will /
be at greater expense for c'er ring, drain |
age, irrigation, etc. The increased pro- |
duction of the future will be the re- |
suit of increased yields per acre as well |
as extension of area.

Powers of Publicity Are to

Wilson discussed with his cabinet o-day
the contemplated draft of the message
he win deliver next week to Congress on
the trust question. Those who know
what the president has in mind with ref

to-day that one of its chief merits would
lie in its powers of publicity.
President Wilson also spent an hour

he concurred with every line of the mes
sage, and he added that what particu-
larly pleased him was that the president
outlined general principles to be dealt
with, leaving the details to be worked
