PURERRED LIVE STOCK.

The organization of the Purebred
Live Stock Sales Company of Brattle-
boro, VT, and the erection of modern
and substantial sales pavilion meets the
demand of the development of New
England interest in the breeding Of
purebred live stock. According to
statistics of 1915, compiled by the U.
S. Department Of Agriculture, and re-
leased January |, 1916, the total vau-
alton of cattle, sheep and swine in the
six New England States is $50, 972, 900.
There are in this section $50, 900 dairy
cattle, 100000 other cattle, 456, 900
swine and 35l, 900 sheep. Some of the
foremost New England breeders Of
purebred live stock are identified with
the sales company and their concerted
efforts cannot fail to advance the in
terests of stock raisers and afford a
safe and ready market, where sales will
be conducted on high standard to both
buyer and seller. A strict supervision
of the health and character Of all ami
mails passing through these sales will be
powerful factor in eliminating the dis
eased and undesirable

SERIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT.

One woman was seriously injured
and two others were badly hurt in an
automobile accident at North Hero
about five o'clock Saturday afternoon,
The owner of the car and the chauffeur
escaped without scratch. The party
was from Montpelier and was trying to
pass some automobiles when the
emergency brake was applied. The car
went over on one side and the occu-
pants were thrown, all of the women
being injured, but the men emerging
unscathed. The Montreal train was
stopped at North Hero at 1928 O'Clock
and the injured women were placed on
board and taken to a Montreal hospital.

HELD ON MURDER CHARGE.

As result of the death of Mrs.
George Duncan at the Rutland hospi-
tai Sunday night the charge on which
her husband, who fired the fatal shot,
is being held at the house of correction
was changed Monday morning to MUIR
der in the first degree. An informa-
ton was filed with City Judge F. G.
Swinnerton, the charge being changed
from assault with intent to kill upon
which the man was arrested i'm
mediately following the shooting which
occurred at the home of Mr.. aud Mrs.
Edward Dezero on Library avenue in
Rutland.
Duncan was first informed of the
death of his wife by his COUNSEL, At
torney j. c. Jones, who visited the
prisoner at the house of correction.
1t is understood that the prisoner
seemed dazed upon hearing the news
and requested his attorney to do all in
his power to see that all proper funeral
arrangements were made and no eX-
pense be spared in burial.
The body of the woman was removed
from the hospital to the undertaking
rooms of John B. Stearns. Drs. B. H.
Stone and E. H. Buttles of the State
laboratory of hygiene performed an
autopsy and later the body was re-
moved to the home of Mrs. Edward
Dezero.

TEETH FORCED INTO BACK OF
MOUTH.

While playing with other children
at Rutland, Vitie, the six-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Pellegrine Bove, fell
on the blade of a sharp ak when he
tripped over brick in the yard. DR..
F. H. Gedhardt was called and the
child was rushed to the Rutland hospi-
tai in the physicians machine, where
his injuries were dressed. The upper
lip was badly cut, many stitches being
required to dress the wound. The en-
tire row of upper teeth were forced
into the back of the mouth by the force
of the fall These were brought for
ward during the dressing and it is
probable that the child's mouth may be
restored to normal.

BARRE HOSPITAL GETS GIFT.


Ira c. Calef of Washington on Fri
day made over to the Barre City hos
pital corporation or to special trustee
the sum of $4,000, thus duplicating
his munificence of two years ago when
he started the ball rolling for new
hospital building by giving $4,000 on
condition that $4,000 additional be
raised and followed it up promptly on
the fulfilling of that condition by donat-
ing $40, 900 more for an endowment
fund. Therefore his contribution to
this institution totals $40, 900. The gift
was made on the first anniversary of
the dedication Of the hospital.

VERMONT HAY AND ALFALFA

V
The indications are thst the Yer
mont hay crop this year will be at
least one third above the average of
several years. Last year the crop in
this State was estimated to be worth
$50, 3O5, 600, and the probability is that
the price will not be lower than that
of last year. AS hay is Vermont's
principal crop and the yield last year
was eitimated at 10000 tons, it will be
seen that the bumper drop will add
materially to the wealth of the State.
Alfalfa is now raised successfully in
every county of the State, although
not yet on a large scale. In 1909 the
census report showed that there were
252 acres of alfalfa in Vermont. A
conservative estimate indicates that
there are now 1900 acres of alfalfa in
the State, 1000 acres being in Addison
county. This year the county agri-
cultural agents are conducting 1870 al
falfa demonstrations in the State. 1t
is difficult to estimate the value of
general introduction of alfalfa grow
ing in Vermont, but it would be a
great boon to the farmers of this COM
monwealth. This year considerable
area of soy beans has been planted in
the State, the area in Chittenden county
having increased from five acres last
year to 500 acres this year,

Redwood Tuesday with a crew
of five men and has commenced
the preliminary work Of moving
the telephone exchange from its
present quarters to the State

that 1000 feet Of new cable will
be used in replacing the old
cable and in replacing wires
along several blocks. The new
cable will be about six blocks
long. Mr.. Kleaver says he ex-
poets the improvements, which
will cost in the neighborhood OF
$500, will give Morgan the best
phone service that we have ever
had as the equipment will be
much the best that has ever
been in use here. A carload of
poles is on the road and the
work of putting up the poles
and cable will commence short
