uPHEAyAL BEGINS
GOV. Fletcher Offers Rutland Attorney
Place on Supreme Bench

/ The Rutland Herald Of Thursday
Nov 10, says:
\ That Gov. Allen NJ. Fletcher Is ap.
parently planning changes In the Yer
mont Supreme court was made evi.
dent yesterday when il became known
that Marvele c. Webber, prominent
Rutland attorney with Offices in the
Chafiee block on Center street, had
been offered position on the Supreme
bench and had declined the honor.
MIR. Webber gives two reasons for
his declination; first because he did
not feel that he could afford TO give
up growing practice at his age for
a position on the bench on account Of
insufficient salary.
"The second reason given was the
possibility Of a'contest being made on
the appointments made by the COVER
nor The first, according to Mr.. Web
ber, was the real and prevailing rea-
son, but he said yesterday that he felt
that the two sort of worked in to-
gether'
There have been continuous rumors
in the city as to the governors prob
able action, the surmises running all
the way from reported intention TO
remove every member of the Supreme
bench except Justices Powers and
Taylor, to statement in some quar-
ters that things had been fixed SO
that no eligible lawyers would accept
the appointments.
Rumor That Judge Fish is to Go
"The same situation prevails in re-
gard to the Superior judges, although
visiting attorneys from Addison coun-
ty stated confidently that Judge Frank |
L. Fish would not be appointed by the |
governor when the positions fall va
can't December L."

The football and the baseball are

passed the stage where men joke
about war-thon the football players
with the crowds looking on would be
of use to the country without great
deal of training.
Why not give the training that
would be useful in time Of need to all
our young men--making them all ex-
ercise, making them all stronger, and
turning out each year thousands of
men with the training that would
make soldiers of them in short order?
We don't want gigantic army,
spending the years doing nothing
while others work to feed the army.
One of our statesmen now advocates
an army of FIVE hundred thousand
men.
We couldn't pay, feed and arm these
men for less than two dollars a day.

WHAT THE STATE UNIVERSITY
OFFERS TO HORTICULTURAL
INTERESTS OF VERMONT

instruction In horticulture is one OF
the many lines of work offered by the
State Agricultural college. At the
present time there are six courses in
horticulture for the four year students
which are as follows. Vegetable gar
dening, fruit growing, landscape gar
dening, plant breeding, greenhouse
management, and Horticulture. In each
of these courses instruction is Civ
en- by lectures, laboratory, visitation
trips and out door practical exercises.
In the winter course, work which is
designed practically for farm boys,
stress is laid upon practical aspects
Of the subjects listed above and newer
methods and ideas are emphasized.
Instruction by correspondence with
the people of the state in matters Of
an horticultural nature is an establish
ed service which covers wide range
Of subjects. Dozens Of letters dealing
with horticultural problems come
weekly to the office of the professor of
horticulture and all such letters re-
ceive his personal attention.
Exhibits at town and county fairs
are recent feature of the extension
work. Among the interesting things
placed for public inspection are charts
and specimens Of orchard and garden
insects and diseases with remedies for
the same and methods and results of
orchard tillage, spraying and prun-
ing.
In connection with the extension
schools Of Agriculture, there have been
demonstrations and lectures on mat
ters of current interest along horticul-
tural lines. Better methods and new
methods have been given prominence
on these occasions.
At the regular annual farmers week
sessions, demonstrations of the pre-
paration of sprays, boxing of apples,
pruning, spraying, etc, have been pro-
vided before large audiences.
The Vermont State Horticultural
society, a large and influential organ
ization, had its beginning at the State
College of agriculture, and the head
quarters of this society have always
been with the professor Of horticul- /
ture.
Closely connected with the instruc-
tional work and the extension work Of
the horticultural department is the in
work of the Experiment
station. Oftentimes the research |
work under the Experiment station
funds have formed the basis of dis
russion of many of the current prob
Iems Of the day. Of late, experiment
al studies have been under way relat-
ing to the merits of large ard small /,
seed in vegetable production, studies
,f apple storage on farms, seed selec-
ion experiments with Hubbard
squash, scion selection experiments in
the grating of apple trees.
II may thus be seen that in any way
and another the horticultural interests
If the state have been and still are
,eing advanced as rapidly as time,
equipment and means have permitted

F0OT-AND-M0UTH DISEASE

The outbreak Of foot-and-mouth dis
ease has already affected an area so
large that il is evident that most
active measures are necessary to
eradicate il. Cases have been found
as far apart as Iowa and Massachu-
setts, and at the time Of this writing
tNov. l0) 10 states have been quaran-
tined Massachusetts, New York,
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Michi-
gan, Ohio. Wisconsin. Maryland, Iowa,
Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Della
ware. Interstate shipments Of live
stock from these states are absolutely
prohibited, and such articles as hides,
straw, hay, etc, must be thoroughly
disinfeoted before they can be moved
in interstate commerce Both in
virulence and in extent Of area affect
ed the present outbreak is more seri-
Gus than any of the five previous ones
which have occurred in the United
States.
These previous outbreaks have not
been sufficiently serious either to
familiarize farmers with the symp-
toms of the disease or to render them
fully alive to the losses that 1t occa-
sions when permitted to gain a firm
foot-hold One Of its most dangerous
characteristics is its extreme contag-
iousness. Not only may it be con-
voyed directly from one animal to
another, but it may be transported in
fodder, picked up from the ground and
carried over the country by cats, dogs,
and chickens, or communicated
through the agency Of man. Cases
have already been found in which. it
seems certain that the disease was
spread by the curiosity Of farmers to
inspect suffering animals. They re-
turned from these visits to communi-
cate the disease to their own previous
ly healthy herds.
The contagiousness Of the disease
explains the action Of the Federal au-
thorities in quarantining such large
areas The practice is to clap blan-
ket of quarantine on the state in which
a case Of the disease has been found,
and then, by careful investigation, de-
termine the exact area infected When
an animal suffering from foot-and-
mouth disease is discovered in herd
the whole herd is at once slaughtered.
Otherwise it would remain a danger
GUS source of infection and be a men
ace to the entire community. II is
customary to appoint an appraiser to
value the herd. One-half of the APP
praised value is paid to the owner by
the Federal Government and one-half
by the state. The slaughtered animals
are buried in deep trench, their hides
slashed to make il useless for anyone |
10 dig them up again, and the ear
casses are saturated with quicklime. |
In this manner previous outbreaks
have been completely stamped out and
there is every reason to hope that this
will be the case this year. The chief
danger is that there may be infected
herds whose existence is not reported |
TO the proper authorities. Farmers /
are therefore urged. both for their
own protection and AS a duty TO their
neighbors, TO report Immediately all
cases Of suspicious sore mouths or
iameness among their stock.
Foot and mouth disease affects
chiefly cattle, sheep, goats, and swine,
bat there are number Of other ami
mails Of less commercial Importance
which are also susceptible Occasion

MANY Prisoners in Jail.

Sheriff Sim J Miller, accompanied
by Magistrate Julian A. Gayden, O.
Broosland, made FIVE arrests in the
town of Cayce on Saturday night-ai
negroes. Four were arl ested for being
drunk and raising trough house" in
general, while one. John Daniels, was
arrested for selling whiskey. Sheriff
Miller caught John with the goods
on'' j1ss after he had dispensed a pint
of the soul-stirring fluid, better known
as "fuss x" A gallon demijohn COD.
tanning one z whiskey, together with
. quart of the same kind, was taken
in by the officers, and John was
brought to Jail to await trial at the
June term Of court.
There are seventeen prison ers con-
fined in the county Jail at present,
charged with all kinds of crime from
murder down to petty thiefery. There
are four charged with murder, ore
white and three negroes. Among the
prisoners in Jail are two white men
John G. Weeks, alias Harry D. Beck
man, and Oscar strickland, charged
with the robbery of the jewelry store
of Lswie Hall, in this town sever
months ago. Weeks is deserter from
the army, having left camp at Norfolk,
: Va, last October. When captured he
gave his mama as Beckman and his
hons as Lansing, Michigan. 1t later,
developed that his father is a we'll
known farmer of nearWiuiston, Aiken
eounty, and his people are well to-do.
An effort has been made, it is under
stood, to secure the young mans re-
aesse, put so far he has not been al.
lowed to go back to the army. Strick-
Iani, who comes from Union, is said
80 be former inmate of the reforma-
tory at Florence.
Another white prisoner is "Billie"
Miller from Oklahoma. He is a one
legged middle.aged man. He is also
charged with housebreaking and lar
ceny, he having admitted to entering
the store of Mr.. Price at Arthurs. He
is o half Indian and has ways chsrac.
&eTistie of the tribe.
Itis yet more then six weeks until
court convenes, and with the pace
shat has been set for crime during the
LAT few weeks, it is likely that many
ncre mon will be lodged in Jail. Be-
sidss sae Jail cases, there are many ont
