The statement of Sen. w. P. Dilling-
ham at Burlington last Thursday eve
ming that 100000 horse power of
mont each year which if developed
would double or treble the states pop
ulation and its wealth beyond ordinary
imagination is rather startling to the
average citizen. 1t shows however
that the people of Vermont need not
feel they have realized all the possibil-
tiles of development in this state.

To the anti-dog editors of Vermont
are referred the following statistics
from New Hampshire for them to
make such use of as they desire. In
124 towns 12,047 sheep are taxed.
$3.50 dogs licensed and $2,S63 paid
for sheep killed by dogs. The number
of sheep in New Hampshire have
dwindled from 1904 in 1860 to co.
265 in 1915. The comparative figures
for dogs were not given but they don't
have as many cows there as they used
to, the number falling from 110,327 to
1884 in the past fifteen years.

The confessions of Fay in New York

sale of yearling Guernseys, by West
Newbury man for $3.50 each and a
seven year old COW for $500 as an in
dication that this breed of cattle is be-
coming as valuable as the Holstein or
Jersey. The recent sale of a pure
bred Hereford calf by A. J. Higgins
for $500 indicates. that it is profitable
to raise the beef type of cattle as we'll
as dairy animals.

Autopsies An Expensive Luxury.


To one interested in keeping the ex-
penses of the state within reasonable
bounds the method of conducting au-
topsies in Vermont becomes an inter
esting subject.
Section 2346 of the Public Statutes
says:-"A superior judge or the attor-
ney-general may, to prevent failure
of Justice, upon the petition of the
states attorney, order an autopsy to
be made in the preparation of state
cause for trial in any court, and fix
the compensation therefor, not to ex-
coed twenty-five dollars"
Section 5426 says that when judge
or the attorney general orders an au-
topsy as provided in the section quoted
above "he shall therein direct that
such autopsy shall be made by the
pathologist of the laboratory of hy-
giene, or under his direction, unless,
for good cause shown, said judge or
the Encouragement otherwise directs.
For performing such
autopsy. the pathologist shall be paid
his actual expenses, including the ex-
penses of his assistants"
In 1906 the law was amended MAX
ing the use Of the laboratory and all
its Investigations free to the people OF
the state and that it should upon re-
quest of a states attorney conduct ex-
pert Investigations. chemical or path
illogical. and the pathologist attend
court as a witness when only his ex-
penses should be paid. This also
provided that the pathologist OF the
laboratory should be directed to make
all autopsies unless for good cause
some one else should be directed to
make it.
The law seems right and evidently
was intended to prevent any states at
torney from paying a physician an un-
reasonable sum for performing an
autopsy. But a specific case here last
week attracts special attention. A
boy was shot and killed by a compan-
ion while the two were hunting to-
gether. The young man who fired the
IaIal SnOL TSPOIICO SAAO oSSAN-N
the proper authorities were called, ex-
amined the body, gave the cause OF
death and ordered it's removal. The
man who did the shooting admitted
that he had caused the young mans
death and competent medical authori-
ties stated the cause which could not
in any way be questioned. Notwith-
standing all this the pathologist and
assistant from the laboratory of hy-
giene were requested to come and per-
form an autopsy on the body. which
they did The state will pay their ex-
penses as the law provides.
The question is as to the necessity
Of such an autopsy and mourning the
expense of the same. 1t is supposed
to be a clear case of accidental shoot
ing and there was nothing an autopsy
could show to the contrary. We can
not see that the cause of justice was
helped in any way by the summoning
of the state pathologist here for an
autopsy. We are inclined to think
the officials are making autopsies an
unnecessary and expensive luxury.

Vermont farmers produced this
season $1,S75, 800 worth of corn, $34,-
500 worth of wheat, $1,S11,160 worth
of oats, $S6,12O worth of barley, ST.
926, 900 worth of potatoes and $685.
900 worth of apples. This totals $6,-
623,78O. In addition is the hay crop
and several smaller crops like tobacco.
buckwheat, etc. The whole makes
quite a respectable increase to the ac-
tual wealth of the nation by Vermont
farmers. If any farmer wishes to
know what part he had in producing
this amount of wealth he can multiply
the number of bushels of any crop he
raised by the average price to produc-
ers for the state. They are: corn 8S
cents a bushel, wheat $1.15, oats So
cents barley Sc cents. potatoes IA
cents and apples $3.50 per barrel. The
above figures show that potatoes are
the big crop of Vermont with corn and
oats following in close succession.

STATE ADVISES AGAINST
THE CREAMERY PROMOTER

Bismarck, March 22.-Commission-
er of Agriculture and Labor R. F.
Flint has received advices that num-
Der of creamery promoters are work
ing in certain sections of the state
and, in speaking of the matter he said:
"The dairy department of this state
has had a good deal of experience with
the creamery promoter, and we find
that, almost without exception, the
proposition he offers to the farmers
and business men of a community is a
good thing to keep away from. Their
contracts are almost always infinite
as to size, capacity and quality of the
machinery and the building and the
only real water-tight part of the con-
tract is the one that calls for the pay
ment of the money due the concern
doing the promoting.
"The dairy department. continued
Mr.. Flint, Stands ready to assist any
community in the state, either by cor
respondence or by sending man OUT,
in the organization of a creamery COM
pany. Our men are we'll experienced
and do not endorse the starting of a
concern unless there is a field for it.
In many instances the fake promoter
will start a creamery in places where
there is not a field and this means
that the development of that particu-
lar district along creamery lines is
set back at least ten years."
Mr.. Flint suggests that wherever in
the state a person represents himself
as being interested in the promotion of
a creamery company that the people
approached write or wire the dairy
department at Bismarck and get a re-
port on the promoter and have one of
the office men go out and look over the
proposition and assist in the organiza-
ton. In one or two instances just the
fact that an inquiry had been made
resulted in the disappearance Of the
organizer and the community was
probably saved a good many thousand
dollars as a result of his departure.

BIG FARMS OF THE
VALLEY BEING CUT UP

Larimore, N D., March o. With
the changes of farming conditions
which has come about during the past
few years, methods of farming on the
big farms have changed. Land values
have continued to rise and the demand
for the dividing up of the big farms
A new era of farming, an era of small
farms, has come to the Red River val
ley which has doomed big farming
At Wahpeton the Adams farm has
placed 5000 acres on the market and
already a considerable portion of the
farm has been sold. The Keystone:
farm has also been placed on the
market and large tracts have been
sold in small farm lots and the town
of New Mantador has sprung up in
the district.
The Elk Valley Farming company
is now preparing to follow suit. al
though along a somewhat different;
line. Instead of placing the land on
the market for sale they have laid of
though along somewhat different line
IL plats, which will be turned into
small farms and rented. On each one
of these plats will be built substan-
tial seven or eight room house as we'll
as a barn and such other accessories
as must be had on a farm. These
plats will consist of from two to four
quarter sections.
Building will begin as soon as seed
ing is finished and by another spring
the houses will be ready for occupancy
by the renters. The II sites are sur
rounded by trees that are now three
years old. There are three rows OF
trees and two and sometimes three
rows of willows, which will serve as a
windbreak. The first site is located
1 IL miles southwest.
Q No rental deals will be made until
late the coming summer.
There are many reasons for the
splitting up of the big farms. In the
first place diversified farming cannot
be conducted on such large scale as
there is too much land going to waste
and competent help cannot be obtain
ed for this class of farming. The
hired help of today consists of class
of men who drift from one part OF the
country to the other, frequenting the
harvest fields in summer and the log
ging camps in winter. Then again the
prosperous modern farmer must live
on and manage his own farm, as time
has demonstrated that hired managers
are too disinterested and cannot be de-
pended upon.
The cutting up Of the big farms will
mean much to North Dakota.
