The Vermont deer hunting season OF
1916 was not without the usual quota Of
human casualties, including one death.
One feature in connection with the hui
man casulties is the fact that all or near
Nv all the accidents occurred during the
early part of the open season, when the
hunters were both more numerous and
more feverish in their desire to bring
down buck As the open season length
ened the human casualty list diminished
markedly, until during the last week or
so no accidents were reported. Another
feature, and this is distinctly encourag-
ing, is that no persons were shot because
they were mistaken for deer or other
game.

5000 Sheep Killed by Dogs.

Notwithstanding the increased
number of dogs killed in the ag-
ricultural counties the slaughter
of sheep by dogs made a substan-
tial increase during 1915 over the
previous year, Mad dogs also
gathered in a larger toll of hors-
es, mules, cattle and swine than
the year before. according to a
statistical table just prepared by
the State department of agricul-
ture.
Deaths of 5,808 sheep during
1915 are attributed to dogs, the
number killed in 1914 being 5,
1877. The number of injured
sheep is fixed at4, 764 an increase
of nearly a thousand over the
year before.
The average price paid owners
for the dead sheep was Sc. 60 and
for injured sheep S2.S7. This is
a slight reduction of the cost of
the previous year. The tota |
amount paid for 1915 was $53,
969 gain of about $1,000 over
1914. Dog tax collected for the
year was $135,27 or $12, 600 less
than was collected the year be-
fore. More than SO, 900 was ex-
pended for killing 1884 dogs.

How to Tell II Fruit Buds Are Good.

|
How to Tell II Fruit Buds Are Good.
Many persons are asking at
this time of year if the fruit buds
are injured and have appealed to
Zoologist H. A. Surface, of the
Department of Agriculture for
information. Professor Surface
says that it is an easy matter for
any interested person to answer
the question for himself accord
ing to the locality in which he
may live, as the killing of fruit
buds this year is decidedly local.
In some portions of county
practically all of the peach buds
may be dead, and in other por-
tions of the same county most of
them may be alive at the present
time. What may answer for one
region may not be true of anoth-
er. By personal examination the
facts can be learned with ease.
There is mistake in the popu-
lar notion that it is possible to
tell the condition of all fruit buds
at this time of year. The posi-
bility of diagnosis applies only to
the buds of the stone fruits, or
peaches plums and cherries. Of
these varieties the fruit buds are
very large and rounded, and the
leaf buds are small and pointed.
By cutting across the large round
and conspicuous fruit buds it is
possible to see if the centre is
green or brown. If green; it is
certain that the bud is all right;
but if brown, it is dead. The
proper way to do is to examine
the buds of different twigs on
the same tree, and on trees in
different portions of the orchard.
Keep a record of the number ex-
amined, the number good and
the number dead. When one
hundred have been examined
these numbers are the equiva-
lents of percentages, respective
ly, and a statement can safely be
based upon such an examination
and count.
1t will be found that peach
buds this year in elevated regions
where they kept cold during jan
uary, are mostly alive; but where
it was warm during that month
and especially in lower ground,
they are killed. The crop in gen.
eral this year will be very short
compared with that of last year.
There are several regions from
which reports have come to the
effect that they are entirely de-
stroyed, while from other locali-
ties reports that there is only a
small percentage alive.
1t is not possible to diagnose
anything concerning the pros
poets for the pome fruits, or ap-
pie, pear and ounce, at this time
of year. Ounce buds form only
on new wood, and consequently
are not to be seen now. The on
ly thing that the apple and pear
grower can tell by an examida-
tion of his buds at present is as
to whether fruit buds or good
fruit spurs were formed in abun-
dance last fall. They are not
liable to be injured by winter.
freezing. 1t is the spring frost
about the time of blooming that
causes the trouble with these
fruits.
