Live Stock Conditions

Fred J.. Davis, state livestock COM
missioner, says that during the period
covered by his report the state test
ed approximately 5000 head of cat
tie and of these nearly 10 per cent re-
sponded TO the test. During the same
period approximately 10000 head
were tested for interstate shipment,
and of these less than per cent re-
acted. Nj Davis points out that the
difference OF per cent was in favor
of the breeder who IS careful when
purchasing and who uses all reason
able precaution TO keep his herd free
from disease. The commissioner is Of
the opinion that Vermont should have
law similar TO that of Maine. which
compels all breeders of registered cat
tie to subject their herds to the tu-
bcrculin test once each year. Mr.
Davis says, with the present prevail
ing prices loe purebred stock. the
buyer should not be expected to take
chances, and the seller has no right
to part with any animal that is not
perfectly healthy i'll every way. -

In an editorial in the Rutland Her
aid advocating the abolition of the as
sistant Judges of county court appears
the following paragraph:
"As to their Office under the license
law, it fairly reeks with potential and
frankly voiced scandal. In this coun
ty, the stencil of noisome mess OF
soiled, ermine, miry politics and pirat-
ical exploitation has gone up to
Heaven for 10 these many years. An
executive deed should never be entrust
ed TO a judicial officer, and the assist
ant judges are that or nothing. The
county judges appoint the license COM
missioners. The license commission
ers give out the licenses. and the lie.
ensees may come before the judges for
violating the law which governs their
license!"
We will admit that the picture of
conditions, as they have existed at
times in Rutland county, is not paint
ed in too high colors. At the same
time is it not Bit unfair to place the
entire responsibility for these condil
ions upon the present system of oper-
ating the local option law? Direct
elections OF license commissioners, to
be sure, would bring the local optic.

DUST CAUSES ILLNESS.
Epidemic Of Sore Threats and Bron
chiaI Trouble at Clinton.

Clinton Nov. 17.-Much TO the dis
comfort, and disgust, of many people
sore throat seems 10 be all the fad
at the precent time among both the
city and country people. Some of them
DO not stop at a mere sore throat but
are boasting of cases of pneumonia and
even diphtheria. The cause Of a large
per cent Of this illness, among the peo
pie in general, is the high winds, and
dust. which results from the former.
Several cases of bronchitis. which are
known to be around, are not being
helped by the nature Of the weather
, and the dust and wind causes the suf-
ferers much aggravation.
The fact that the city street
sprinkler has ceased some of its eff
forts to make life pleasant within :he
city limits helps the cause, while the
exceedingly dry October and November
weather combined with the high wines
makes the dust very plentiful. Doctors
state that the amount Of this sickness
is OF exceedingly large but more than
a normal number of the cases nav:
been reported within the past fort
night. Country people, from reports,
are suffering greatly and a large per
cent of the people are showing some
effects from the dust and wind.
