The birds are not allowed to pick up
their food in the natural manner, but
have it pumped or crammed into their
crops by a simple machine, consisting
of large funnel, into which the food
is placed, falling into a cylinder, from
which il is pumped by piston worked
by a treadle through flexible tube
some seven inches long direct into the
fowls crop. The birds are fed this way
twice day. The dexterity with which
hundreds of protesting birds are thus
fed is remarkable.

Too Bad.

The supporters Of Col Smith for gov
ernor of Vermont have pinned their hopes
to one lone argument, he is too
much New Yorker and too little Ver-
monter, but the esteemed Watchman OF
Montpelier knocks out the prop completely.
In its issue of Wednesday it has long
editorial purporting to support Col. Smith,
but at the same time intimatipg that it does
SO for geographical reasons alone and in
violation of honest convictions as to the
relative merits of the two candidates.
The contemporary says
Gen. Mccullough is a person to whose
candidacy for the Office OF governor no
reasonable objection can be made. He has
ability of high rank and capacity and ex-
perience Tor important affairs. He has
the gift OF oratory. His silvery speech
has been occasionally heard in the convo-
cations OF the men of Vermont and has
often evoked their applause. In the esti-
nation of the Watchman no well-founded
objection to the candidature of General
Mccullough can lie in the matter of bis
connections beyond the confines of the
state: He is good enough Vermonter-
whether or not he was born on her soil and
abldes here the year round-who has
public-spirited interest in the welfare of
Vermont, shows his interest by his works,
invests his wealth here, pays his honest
taxes and maintains here a live, voting cit
lzenship. The Watchman regards General
with proper consideration,
and, it its environment were that of his
toric Bennington, it could with enthusiasm
embrace his candidacy for the governor
ship.

For Governor, T. w. MOloney.

There has been a great deal of news
paper talk to the effect that Felix w. Nc
Gettrick of St. Adams would be the next
democratic candidate for governor of Ver-
mont but the Montpelier Argus thinks
otherwise. In its issue this week it says
For governor, Thomas W. Moloney of
Rutland-that is the nomination which will
head the democratic column of the Austria
liam ballot to be used by the freemen of
Vermont at the polls next September. The
nomination Is not sought by Mr.. Moloney
but will be conferred upon him by the
democrats of the state, who admire his
abilities, acknowledge his loyalty, respect
bis courage and appreciate his services to
the party.
Mr.. Moloney is a prominent and re-
spected citizen. His character is without
a stain and lis record without a blemish
His nomination will be the strongest the
party could make this year and the strong
est it has made for some time. In matters
of state politics his position is clear and
unmistakable, He has opposed, vigorously
and firmly, the hypocritical and shameful
prohibitory law OF Vermont and the whole
brood Of vicious legislation inflicted upon
it by republican misrule, undisturbed for a
long period of years. He stands for re-
form in state government, liberality in
legislation and the economy which is sorely
needed in administration.

Ex.G0v. Page for Congress.

The St. Johnsbury Caledonian says that
ex-Gov. Carroll S. Page of Hyde Park Is
ambitious to go to congress as the success
sor of Judge Powers in the first district. 1t
says: "Gov. Page is making still hunt
that is likely to prove as successful as his
gubernatorial campaign and he will prove
most formidable political foe. Besides
being one of the shrewdest politicians in
the state, he is one Of our brightest and
best business men and he is just the kind of
a man that would make splendid repre-
sentative in the United States congress-"
If Gov. Page really means business there
will be scrap in the first district that will
put the Grout-Read-Plumley contest COM
pletely in the shade

Opportunity for Democrats.

The Brattleboro Reformer sees golden
opportunity for the democrats of Vermont;
they should take their coats off and begin
a vigorous campaign against the prohibi-
tory law. 1t says:
Not all that is interesting in state poll
tics is in the republican camp this year
There is strong and growing disposition
among the democrats to get together and
make such fight as the state has not seen
for more than one generation over the pro-
hibitory law.
The time is ripe for such campaign, as
it never was before. The people who hon.
estly believe in the law and that it is de-
signed to be something more than a farce,
have by their efforts to get it enforced fo-
cussed attention upon it and the abuses and
iDlqulties that accompany its impracticabil-
tiles in way that is healthful in the high
est degree, and have set many candid men
to seriously inquiring as never before
whether much greater good could not be
accomplished with less evil by local op-
| ton system.
When the idea of prohibition was
new and attractive, it only had 2709
| plurality in the state in campaign fought
on that issue in 1858 and because of the
presence of Liberty candidate in the
field, the election was thrown into the
legislature where John S. Robinson was
chosen governor as a democrat and oppon-
ent of the law. This was the last time
the law was ever leading issue before the
people. The next year came the Kansas
Nebraska bill, the break up of old party
lines and the appearance of the republican
party which swept the state on the issue Of
opposition to the extension of slavery.
With such close division on the origi-
nal question of the adoption of prohibition.
what would be the result now with all th.
added knowledge and experience the peo-
pie have obtained since?
