Weather Forecasts May Save Cattle.

Cattlemen in the west and southwest
may save thousands Of dollars and many
thousands pounds Of meat during the
winter season if they will watch wealth
err forecasts, according to officials of the
weather bureau They should give at
tention not only to the regular fore
casts but to the special daily forecasts
issued by weather bureau stations an
cities and towns Of considerable size,
during the winter in regard TO mini
mum temperatures expected to occur
within shipping radius one day or two
days Of the station. In northwestern
Texas last winter number of herds
of cattle, aggregating many thousand
dollars in value, died from exposure to q
destructive cold wave which had been
forecast by the weather bureau and
warnings OF which had been dissent
mated through the threatened region.

The Election.

From the standpoint of Vermont Re-
publicans, the result of yesterdays cleo
ton could hardly fail to be gratifying.
Not in many years has there been such
a lively contest waged against the Re.
publican nominee, but the result has evil
IDENTIFY been to wake up Republicans
to vote their own ticket, rather than TO
encourage them to vote for the Demo
cratic candidate.
With the issue of the Sheppard
amendment industriously crowded into
the campaign by the Democrats, with q
few Republican newspapers Industrious
IL backing their game, the salient fea-
ture Of the canvass has been publicity,
in which the work of the Republican
state committee, under the direct man
agement Of Lieutenant Governor Elect
Mason S. Stone, had unquestionably the
best of it.
Undoubtedly the attempt of the Dem
ocrats TO make capital out of the Graz
ham matter failed completely, as the
vote in the northeastern part OF the
state shows eonclusively.
Mr.. Clement will assume office next
January with a great opportunity and
with non entangling alliances, and, fur
Their. with the earnest cooperation of
his colleagues, the officers-elect of the
state of Vermont.
The Vermont legislature of 1919 will
be an able and efficient body, if the list
of membership holds up to its first prom
Use. The same thing applies to the SEN
ate. With the right sort of co-opera-
ton between executive and legislative
branches, the session of 1919 ought to
be notable in che states history.
In the country at large, the result Is
too vague to be commented on in detail.
1t seems apparent that Kansas, for ex-
ample. has come back into the Repub-
lcan fold, and the control of the next
House of Congress by Republicans is
well within the possibilities at this
writing. Rutland Herald.

California farmers pledged themselves TO

grain, which was resulting in the whole
sale slaughter of brood sows and young
pigs. Fourteen days after the campaign
started the danger which threatened the
hog industry of the Pacific coast was
averted. In addition, the agitation and

breeders Of hogs TO keep up their stock.
