mas just come 10 nanQ, ana L am
writing to compliment you upon the
good job you have done in this direc-
ton. Your subscribers should appre-
ciate the effort which you are max
ing in their behalf.
/ am very much surprised at the
showing which the breeders of Gale
donna County have made in the de-
velopment of pure bred herds, and
your efforts in helping them to CAPT
talize their efforts should mean much
to the farmers of the county. There
is no apparent reason why commun-
tiles in the East cannot accomplish
the same results that have been at
tanned in some of the western states,
notably in Wisconsin. Cooperative
efforts in some sections of Wisconsin
have resulted not only in marked i'm
provement in live stock, but in the
source of income to the farmers. Even
the production of grade stock has pro-
crossed to remarkable degree
through local breed associations, CO.
operative and community interests
coupled with advertising.
From personal observation / am
confident that many of the farmers
who are members of these breed or
CARNATIONS are enabled to make
from their herds than they receive
from the sale of their dairy products.
What the buyer wants is a locality
that will furnish him a carload or
two carloads of good stock which
can be easily assembled and where
the farmers are willing to do bust
ness in a business-like way. This
supplement is a credit to your paper
and of real service to your subscrib-
ers.
Very truly yours,
J. C. KENDALL,
Director.

My dear Mr.. Bigelow:-
want to thank you sincerely for
sending me a copy of the" Caledon-
ian" of June 80 containing your &C
count of pure bred stock in the cOun-
ty. l have read it with a great deal
of interest and especially your lead
ing article. The latter would be
valuable tract for wide distribution
in the state as it presents summary
even to a layman in the matter. l
am far more interested in those who
are seeking to develop the agricul-
tural and educational advantages of
Vermont than in those who are try
ing to build up our manufactures.
We have a good future before us as
farming people, producers and pur-
veyers of food to the large centers
south of US. And it is an honorable
and Independent calling, suited to
our traditions as a people. am
handing on your articles to my friend
H. H. Wheeler in South Burlington.
Sincerely yours,
GEO. Y. BLISS.

A splendid supplement was that is
sued last week by the St. Johnsbury
Caledonian. Not only was it finely
printed supplement, but it was OF
such a character that it could not
fail to interest all of it's readers,
especially those interested in the de-
velopment of fine cattle. 1t consist
ed of twelve pages devoted to the
thoroughbred cattle in Caledonia
county. There were many attractive
illustrations, showing the handsome
stock and fine farms where they are
owned. 1t may interest many to
know that in Caledonia county there
are 1,433 head of pure bred cattle,
valued at $234,475 or an average
price of $1,000, which includes the
young stock. This is a most excel
lent showing and indicative of the
tendency of Vermont farmers to
breed fine cattle and get the best re-
suits from their dairies. The Gale
other state papers may we'll follow.
1t is extra editions of this kind that
promote the states leading industry
and encourages those engaged in it.

The st. Johnsbury Caledonian is
sued a finely illustrated paper last
week which all persons in this sec
ton of the state should appreciate,
as it calls attention to the fine herds
of cattle of which this and adjacent
counties boast. Caledonia county is
proud of her fine diaries and blooded
stock and the Caledonian has done
distinct service in thus bringing
them to more public notice.-Hard-
wick Gazette.
The St. Johnsbury Caledonian got
out a special edition devoted to pure
bred cattle in the county. This is an
enterprise which should be appreciat-
ed by farmers interested in thorough
breds, and will show other farmers
what has been done and may be done
to make stock a real asset to the
lfarm.-Bradford Opinion.
PURE-BRED CATTLE, as the
thoroughbred element can be found
in Caledonia county, was effectively
shown up, in illustration and letter
press, by the St. Iohnsbury Caledon-
ian in its issue of June 30th-a bit
of enterprise which was no doubt full
ly appreciated by the stockbreeders
of that section. The Holsteins, the
