ono Of the results is to enhance the
value of sheep and enlarge the oppor-
tunity OF the farmers of the east. The
movement was begun before the war
broke out. but the war has increased
the demand for meat, so there is
now the opportunity to do patriotic
duty as well as lay the foundation for
q profitable business.
Most of the sheep now raised in
Vermont are Of the Shropshire breed.
The breed is run down at present
through the use of rams that are not
of the best quality, but Mr.. Sturte-
want thinks the Shropshires are as
good as any dual purpose breed, and
it Is for both mutton and wool that
the Vermont farmer should strive.
Breeding stock is high, and the
government is urging the farmers to
save their best breeding stock and
their eve lambs so as to build UP
their focks without going to large ex-
pense. They are urged to make
sheep raising part of their regular
live stock farm work, DIS sheep re-
quire less labor and grain than dairy
cows.
When asked as to the dog menace
Mr.. Sturtevant replied that it was
more mythical than actual. although
he said it existed to degree not to
be laughed at. Some damage is done
by dogs in the daytime, but most Of
the damage is done at night It is
not practicable to undertake TO build

The high point in sheep raising in
Vermont was reached in 1910, when
the census reports showed about
100000 sheep in the state. They
were largely Merinos. The govern
ment estimates for the past two years
place The number at 100000, but the
listers returns show less than half
that number, or about $4,000. In
Windham county there are less than
1000, but the number has begun to
increase. The New Hampshire sur
yey shows about 10000.
There were several reasons for the
decline, one being the competition OF
the great western areas and another
being that the value OF mutton was
not emphasized as it is today The
grazing areas Of the west are becom-
Ing more and more restricted, and

High prices for wool have turned
the attention of farmers all over the
country to sheep raising and in this
connection the following from the

est.
IL plans of the United States de-
partment of agriculture do not miss
carry, the pasture lands OF Vermont
some day will be grazed by multi
tudes Of sheep as they were rs years
ago. A beginning already has been
made in that direction and one of the
tangible evidences of that fact has
been the presence in Windham coun-
ty Of q sheep expert sent by the gov
eminent to interest those who have
facilities for raising sheep to make
that part of their regular business.

odds to drive the enemy from the
mother soil. apparently, according to
high officials, has realized it is adj
visable to abondon any efforts toward

leaders in the Catholic party have
