Bovine tuberculosis.
bellows Falls Times)

Plainly there is no middle ground
in this bovine tuberculosis situation.
If the germ can be transmitted to
human beings and the present plan
will stamp out the disease, then man
ifestly we can not go at it too siren
uously. If, on the other hand, the
present squirt in the. work will merely
be a larger link in the endless chain
of expense and non-extermination
which has dragged along for years
and years, then it is manifestly a
mere waste of money. It ought to
be possible to put this whole question
beyond the point of debate, and we
hope soon to see a definite solution
of the problem one way or the 9TH
er.-Burlington Free Press.
All that is required to put this
question beyond the point of de-
bate" is for the doctors to take ac-
ton. When they say with convinc-
ing emphasis that bovine tuberculosis
cannot be transferred to human be-
ings it is all over and the tax rate will
go down. AS long as doctors ahem
and shrug their shoulders there is
going to be kept alive enough suspi-
cion to fan the flame of bovine rad
icalism. Let the Vermont Medical
Society speak up.

stand kitchen ware; in others the
heating elements either fail too soon,
or else the temperature obtained
gradually falls too low to be of prac-
teal value. these points should be
noted in selecting devices.
With electric heat there is less
waste heat than with any other meth
cd, because the heat can be generated
or applied at just those parts of the
appliance where it can most effective
ly do its work.. / don't mean to say
that electric heating is more economi-
cal than other methods, for on the
contrary, it is more expensive unless
electricity can be obtained at very
low cost. With an electric cooker,
the surrounding atmosphere is not
that it is by coal, gas or oil cook
ing stove, and there are no fumes.
This is a great advantage, especially
during summer months. AS for con-
troll, electric heating may be start
ed and stopped with an ease which is
impossible with any other method. At
the present time there is an electric
stove on the market which utilities the
food as control for the current. The
food is put in the stove; press the
button. The nature of the food it
self, the quantity and the amount Of
moisture it contains, regulate the
length of time electricity is used be-
fore it is automaticallya shut off.
Whether one boils, bakes, roasts or
stews, the process is the same. The
electric stove is gradually coming
into use; it is beginning to revolution
ize the art of cooking. There are all
kinds of electric labor-saving devices
on the market today, such as elect
trio stoves, flat-irons, heaters, per-
colators, curling irons, immersion
water heaters, and last but not least,
the washing machine and vacuum
cleaner.
What means more to the home than
the improved vacuum cleaner that has
replaced the old time broom? Every
one knows that sweeping with it's
in addition to being laborious and
necessitating much needless work.
With the electric cleaner the home is
kept so sanitary and clean that semi
annual housekeeping are absolute
ly uncalled for. 1t gets the dirt, the
unseen, introdden dirt that shortens
the life of expensive carpets and rugs,
that fills the air with disease breed
ing germs. The strong suction pow
er OLA good electric cleaner is strong
enough to extract the last speck of
hidden dirt, keeps the rugs and floors
refreshed and bright, because they
are really clean.
Thus it is easy to see that cleo
tricity enables. the woman to live
more comfortably, to enjoy more
pleasures and to create better, hap
pier and cleaner homes.

Testing Cattle Results in Quickly
Graduating TB.
(The Jersey Bulletin)

\1Ao Jersey Ou1lSClAJ
That testing cattle for tuberculosis
and the cleaning up of infected herds
are having permanent effect in re-
ducing the extent of the disease is
shown conclusively by figures recent
ly collected by the United States de-
partment of Agriculture from in
spectors in charge of the eradication
work in various parts of the coun-
try. The inspectors were asked to
supply figures on the results of three
or more tests on badly diseased herds,
those that had not less than 10 per
cent. of reactors on the first test.
The first tests on more than $4,000
cattle in these bad herds showed that
26 per cent. had tuberculosis. Anoth-
er test six months later on the same
herds, from which the reactors had
been removed, showed only 60 per
cent. of the disease. By another six
down to 2.8. A fourth test on more
than $4,000 of these cattle showed
only 1.8 per cent. of tuberculosis.
The reports from which these fig
ures were taken show that under
normal conditions herds very badly
diseased may be established as rela-
lively Tree IN snort Time. Iney al
so show that eradication work can be
carried on without destroying the cat
tie industry as is sometimes thought.
Erratic results were obtained on a
very few of the 1882 herds tested, the
list of this class containing less than
100. Out of the 126,668 herds under
observation December 1, 1921, there
were only very few that had not
shown satisfactory imprOvement as
result of testing.

Vermont Farms Grow in Favor.

A steady and increasing movement
into Vermont of farm buyers from
other states, notably from Massachu-
sets and New York is shown by an
interesting report just issued by the
e. A. Strout Farm Agency which last
year sold 258 Vermont farms and a
total of Ella farms throughout the
country.
The aggregate value of all these
farms was $20,000,000 and their
transfer made 1921 the best year in
Il during which that agency has been
conducted.
This increased activity of agricul-
tural land at time when calamity
cry has filled the air is explained by
the fact that Vermont farms general
" grow diversified crops and their
products usually find ready sale In
local or nearby markets.
The farmer who has suffered the
setback due to defation of prices is
the big one-crop grower of the Mid
die West or South whose prosperity
depends on the price of wheat, corn,
tobacco, cotton or live stock.
Vermont stood third of the New
England states in point of farms sold,
as shown in the Strout report. 10y
atty of Vermont buyers to their home
state was shown by the fact that the
largest group of buyers was compos-
ed of ~ Vermonters. Men from out
side states who purchased Vermont
farms totaled 1856.
Of these Massachusetts furnished
the largest group with total of 60,
New York was second, purchasing %
Vermont farms and New Hampshire
was third, taking "a. Of the other
New England states, Connecticut sent
IA families into Vermont, Maine five
and Rhode Island four.
New Jersey bought IL, Pennsyl-
vania two, Maryland one, Ohio two,
Michigan six, Illinois four, Indiana
one, California two, North Dakota
one. Twenty-one buyers of Vermont
farms came from foreign countries,
including one from far Scotland.
One buyer came from the Canal
zone.
Only % Vermont men bought farms
outside that state, as shown by the
report. Of these IA went to New
Hampshire. three to New York, two
each to Maine and Pennsylvania and
one each to Massachusetts, and Mieh-
igan.

A rejuyenation of the Vermont
Fish and Game league will result in
much good if the league is conducted
for the end which it's name implies,
and is in the hands of real sports
men. The benefits of organized eff
fort for better preservation, distri-
button and propagation of fish and
game may be very large. One of the
splendid things which the league
might attempt is an educational cam
paign among sportsmen as to what
sportsmenship really means. There
are two classes of men who go into
the woods and onto our streams and
lakes, viz: sportsmen and mere hunts
men and fishermen. The first mem
toned is man who hunts and fishes
for the beauty of his surroundings,
who takes his prey because of the
test of skill which is required and
who recognizes the rights of the next
man. The latter is the man who
goes out to kill, slaughter and des-
troy, who forgets that other men
have right to expect fish and game
also and that the chance to make a
hog of himself does not constitute a
right to do so. The reason for fish
and game laws is to give each man
an equal right with the next to en-
joy fishing and hunting. The man
who in any way violates the law does
it for a selfish purpose and there
fore deprives his fellow men of some
thing which belongs to them. as well
as developing in himself a still more
selfish trait. Let US reason this fish
and game proposition out and work
together for wild life in Vermont
which shall be an asset to the state
and afford pleasure to host Of
sportsmen.

Grand Lists.
bennington Banner.)

We have called attention heretofore
to the great inequality which exists
between the valuation of real estate
in the different towns. This matter
becomes very important as the neces-
sity for larger state taxes seems i'm
perative. Even the most conserva-
tive expect state tax of fifty cents.
We think it is safe to say that if ev-
cry town in the state appraised its
real estate up to the valuation of
the towns having the highest apprais-
ais, the grand list of the state would
be increased by million dollars. This
would mean an increased income of
100000, if the state tax is so cents.
Manchester Journal.
The journal is too modest in it's
estimate. In the village of Manches-
ter, according to the statement of a
well known Manchester citizen, a
piece of real estate in the list at
$1,000 was sold for $4,000 year ago
last summer.
In Bennington a few years back a
tract of land on Town Hill that was
on the tax list at $500 was sold for
$4,000.
These are undoubtedly exceptional
cases where the purchasers wanted
that particular property regardless
of price, but it is not infreuuent in
most of the larger towns in Vermont
for property to sell at from four to
six times its tax valuation.
Were the real estate of the state
of Vermont listed at two-thirds of
its actual forced selling value, we
should expect to see the grand list
of the, state nearly or quite doubled
and this in spite of the fact that in
every town there is occasionally a
piece of property listed too high
through mistake, accident or over
sight.
| The present grand list of the state
is, we believe, around 100000

1t appears that complications have
developed in Orleans which place the
matter of new school building for
that enterprising village back into
the doubtful column. While not de-
string to enter into the discussion
which cenfronts Orleans with refer
ence to it's educational difficulties this
paper will say that on general prin-
ciples the matter of adequate hous-
ing, equipment and teaching force
for our youth is not a matter to be
considered from the money stand
point, except as secondary consid-
GRAFTON. Newport has the question of
school building also under consid-
GRAFTON. The first question to be de-
termined with reference to education
is: Is the thing needed? The ques-
ton of a few dollars per person, or
the question of little more or a lit
tie less tax is secondary matter.
If the youth of Orleans and the youth
Of Newport need a new building to
give them proper educational facili-
ties there can be but one answer.

Condensed Town Reports Approved.
(Stanstead Up. O. Journal)

The appeal for condensed town re-
ports is worthy. Why not pattern
after any bank or corporation state
ment in the matter of placing re-
port of the towns business for a
year. Who cares how many feet of
hemlock plank were used for replank-
ing a bridge, or how much income
accrued from certain sum of money
given to the town by man in Ore
gon for the care of cemetery lot,
or how much Miss Jones is paid for
teaching school in district No. Z.
Totals are what the average man
wants to see, that is, how much mon
ey was received, how much paid out
and how much the town owes. A
four-page sheet would be ample. In
the ordinary town report it requires
a clear-headed accountant to tell the
true state of affairs.
