Battle Flags for Vermont.

Vermont soldiers performed so
valiantly in the war in the various
units to which they were assigned
that it would seem right and proper
for them to be abe to bring back
to their home state at least one
of the battle standards under which
they went into action IN order that
the emblem, or emblems, might be
placed with the array OF battle flags
which now find place in the state
house at Montpelier. To be sure, the
Vermont soldiers did not enter the
war as a distinct unit OF military
classification; but several thousand of

Ihas Dog Question.

The Bennington Banner hits the
nail rather squarely ON the head
when IL suggests that owners of
sheep land owners Of dogs need TO
get together on remedial legislation
in VERMONT As The Banner says the
trouble Is that sheep growers have
no patience with dogs and want TO
tax them out OF existence while own
era OF dogs have even less interest in
sheep.
The Banner sees a, remedy in bill
being prepared by H. Merle Bottum,a
veteran sheep breeder Of SALISBURY
which aims to arrange ii so that a
sheep grover will get prompt pay
ment for dog damage instead of wait
ing nearly year.
There seems bound to be revival
Of the sheep raising industry in New
England and It is essential that the
dog problem be solved right. Being
lovers of dogs ourselves, we should
hate to see them barred altogether or
their lives made miserable by chain

MusKRATs

Representative E, D. Moore is home
from the state capital for the week
end. Ed, who is chairman of the
committee on game and fisheries,
says that the most serious problem
so far confronting the committee is
the muskrat season in Addison coun-
ty. Under the existing statutes there
is a special season for muskrats in
Addison county. Some Of the resi-.
dents who are interested in the musk,
rat industry want a longer season and
Others are in favor of maintaining the
present and shorter period. There is
much emergency Of opinion among
the advocates for each Of the two
ideas and number Of Addison county

Probably there are more muskrats
in Addison than in any other county
In the state. The low land of tlie
Otter creek valley is natural
habitat for the little animals and they
thrive there as In other marsh sec

nse Of furs Of all kinds has brought
the muskrat into prominence and thu
prices for The pelts are now the high

county trappers and hunters are be
ginning to give the aquatic rodent
more serious consideration.

Peat is 50 antiseptic and absorbent
that It is used as n dressing FOR

FOR medicated cotton. This fact was
recognized many years ago in Europe
where sphagnum peat is now exten.

When the Swans MIGRATE.

II IS said to be impossible FOR any

sight Is one Of the most Impressive in
nature. As the huge birds rise into
the air it seems as II an aerial re

swans, each with wing spread Of
six or seven feet, moving like yachts
under fun sail. Once the swans are
under way their speed Is amazing,
