WATERBURY,
Guernsey Cow Exhibition and Sale Was
Marked Success.


Prominent at the meeting of the Yer
mont State Guernsey association
and consignment sale held at Win
nisauam farm were the silver cup
which are to be awarded to winners il
contests and may be contended for by
any purebred Guernsey COW owner ant
houser in Vermont. Flags and banners
pointed the way to very attractive
scene where, with Camels Hump for q
background, the Winooski river anc
broad meadows in front made an idea
luncheon setting. Here lunches were
oNten and ice cream furnished by the
association. President Mark II. Moody
was ably helped by members OF his
family and Office force and the family
of Mr.. Bassett in serving as host, and
all felt the cordial welcome. As one
passed along he saw lines of Guernsey
cattle, high in their registry and at
tractive in looks. Following the lunch
con some able speakers were heard,
which, following closely upon the farm
bureau meeting at the hospital grounds,
made one feel that dairying was re-
ceiving merited recognition in this
community. President Moody intro
duced each speaker very aptly and all
were enthusiastically received. Secre-
tary Caldwell extolled the Guernsey
, COW, saying: ''She has it in herself
to win out. She produces both quality
and quantity Y. p. Mcdonnell of
the dairy division, department of agri-
culture, at Washington, paid a glow
ing tribute to Vermont and gave an in
teresting talk on profitable herds, urg
ing better sires. He also spoke of the
advertising of dairy products, which is
only in its infancy, and assured all
that the dairy COW was one of the SAT
est investments for capital. An unex
pected pleasure was the speech of the
Hon. Sidney Fisher of Ontario, who as
sured all of neighborly interest. Mr..
Fisher is ex minister of agriculture of
Canada and vice president of the Amer
lean Guernsey Breeders association.
Thomas Bradlee of the extension serv
ice gave some lines which may be de-
veloped, among them dairy commu
nifty committee Dr. DeFossett spoke
of the federal work and remarked that
the Guernsey seemed especially free
from tuberculosis, and OF the large type
cent of herds on the accredited list. |
In President Moody's closing remarks
he spoke of the joint meeting of the
New York and Vermont associations at |
Glens Falls, n. V, in August. Then |
came the sale, with merits and words |
concerning the cattle, so fast that one
had to listen scutely. Dan Perry of
Barre was the auctioneer and handled |
the sale in a satisfactory manner Al |
though dealers called it only fair prices,
they looked big to those not well |
yersed in registered stock. The day was
delightful after the rain. The autos
parked and the teams present gave a
good estimate OF an attendance of 500.
Wednesday afternoon in the Congre-
gational church occurred the funeral
services of Frank Chesley, whose body
was brought from Pawtuxet, r. |. Rev.
=. {. Hayes officiated. giving comfort
ing remarks and reading a letter from
President Faunce of Brown university.
The bearers were Carroll Swasey, Bur
ton Luce, Merritt Powers, Kenneth
5uptil and Levi Chesley, all having at
tended school with him when the de

Ryder of st. Adams, Mrs. Henry of
Miss Rose Carpenter of

lfter nearly two weeks search, was

ianion two or three days later
