DUAL PURPOSE
CATTLE ON THE
ORDINARY FARM

Prepared by United States department OF
agricultural
THE high prices Of meat that have
Il prevailed for years in the United
States have led men who hither-
to have not thought of the matter to
consider the possibility of raising beef
cattle. For the man about to engage
in this business one of the most i'm.
portant questions is the breed he is to
select Beef cattle are divided into
two general classes, the strictly beet
breeds and the dual purpose breeds
For the ranchman and the farmer who
is in a position to manage a large
herd the beef breeds will probably be
more profitable. For the small farm.
er who can keep only a few cattle and
must depend upon those he does keep
to produce milk and butter for his
family the dual purpose breeds are
possibly better suited.
In the United States the principal
dual purpose breeds are certain types
of the Shorthorn, the Red Polls, the
DevOns and the Brahman. or Indian"
cattle The latter, however, are not
strictly dual purpose cattle and are Of
Importance only in the extreme south.

THE LICENSE QUESTION.

To THE MIDDLEBURY REGISTER: The
vote for no license in recent town meet
ings has been too close for the good name
of Middlebury. If things are wrong
with the present enforcement of the
law, let US attend to the enforcement,
sparing none. But do not let US go back
to license, from the frying pan into the
fire. When the town voted for license,
! was not a citizen here, but remem-
Der what heard of the effects. They
are fol chilly brought to mind in a "Hial
Higgins letter by the late Horace w.
Bailey, as published in his memorial
volume. We do not want return of
such conditions, and the best way to
avoid it is to get out strong vote for
no license. JOHN NJ. THOMAS.

JOSEPH BATTELL.

Middlebury has lost its best friend
and the State of Vermont one of her
most devoted sons. He lived not for
his own happiness, but for the good he
could do to this town, its people and its
institutions, and to this State. No man
was more generous or more unsparing
of himself in his efforts for the people
of this vicinity. He did good in his own
way, but he did it. He had always some
new plan for the good of Middlebury,
and he was tireless worker until it
was accomplished His foresight in
planning public improvements proved
that he had one of the keenest minds
among US. His patience and persist
ence in carrying out his purposes
testify to the strength of his character
The attractiveness of our present
village was brought about in no small
degree by his labors and his generosity.
He provided in more ways than one for
the good name of this town and its fair
reputation far and wide.
He loved our mountains and hills-no
man ever loved them more. He took
pride in the honorable history of this
town and its college and in the glorious
story of Vermont. He was man
of plain speech and of good deeds
"Middlebury will miss him." is the
word that is upon every lip, and Middle
bury will bless his memory many days.

EDUCATIONAL HEARING

The colleges appeared in opposition to
the general education bill at the public
hearing in Representatives hall, Mont
peller, on Tuesday evening, February Is.
although they were not down on the
programme to appear until Friday
evening. At the close of long and
able argument to prove that the uni
versty was State institution, Warren
r. Austin Of st. Abans asked that the
the bill be killed A little later Presi-
dent Thomas Of Middlebury college.
responding to an open invitation to edu-
Gators to tell members what was good
in the bill, handled the subject with
such cleyerness and rhetorical adroit-
ness that when he finished he received
warm applause.
DIR. Guy Potter Benton, president of
University of Vermont, said he appear
ed with malice toward none and charity
for all The University Of Vermont
appeared in opposition to no institution
or individuals, He objected to the with
drawal Of subsidy to the medical college
especially. Perhaps the other depart
ments might continue, but aid to the
medical college was essential. He also
objected to the definition of the educa-
uonal system of the State in the pre-
amble OF the bill, because it did not
mention the University of Vermont as
State institution. He then called on
Warren K. Austin to make the principal
argument for the University
Mr.. Austin's argument was a defense
OF the claim of the university to be a
State institution. He took his audi
ence back to colonial days and tried to
show that the windsor constitution"
OF l777 provided for State University.

versity in the constitution of 1886,
which was the first constitution actually
adopted by the people of Vermont, he
attributed to the political activity of
Dartmouth College, which had designs
upon the public lands of Vermont. In
the name of the University he asked
that the commission bill be killed.
Senator Simonds of St Johnsbury
made vigorous defense of the good
features of the bill and he hoped that
the educators would get together and
help draft a bill that would embody the
good features Of the Commission s
recommendations. He said the Carne-
gle Foundation spent $4,000 on the
Vermont investigation and did not
charge cent. Personally he hoped
that the colleges would receive aid and
also that the back towns should have
better schools.
President John M. Thomas of Middle
bury College agreed with Senator ST.
monds. He said he was ready to accept
advice from outside the State and APP
pealed to the Legislators to act free
from prejudice. He reviewed the his
tory of education in the State. He crit
icized the sections in the bill which
changed the system from town control
of schools to State "suzerainty. He
advised to improve schools as they did
their roads He then discussed sec
tons he would have retained, mention
ing Part Ill, chapter |, on Examination
and CertificatiOn of Teachers. Increase
teachers salaries, he urged. That is
the main point. More proficient teachers
would be possible under system of
payment to towns for teachers salaries
when graduates of normal schools and
teachers training classes are employed.
Make it worth while for the girls to
teach. You will then fillup the teachers
training courses and the normal schools.
He believed the State superintendent
should havextwo assistants for efficient
supervision.
Speaking of the colleges, he said they
were all proud of the record of the
University of Vermont. and would free
ly grant that it was "a great public
institution of the State, as MIR. Austin
had quoted from Chief Justice Samuel
Prentiss. But, he added, we ought all
to be generous enough to admit that
Norwich University is also a public
Institution Of Vermont, and he hoped
Middlebury College could be included in
the same list. He quoted figures to
show the advance in Middlebury Col
lege. eve oppose no assistance to any
other institution. We ask only for fair
treatment of Middebury College and
that you do not tear the love of the
State from our hearts"
