NOTE AND COMMENT.

1t is none too early for Washington
county Republicans to commence think
ing about the county ticket. Montpelier
should furnish one of her best citizens
for a county senator and Barre city do
likewise. We believe Waterbury has a
lawyer well qualified for states attorney
end one who would add strength to the
ticket.-Waterbury Record.
There is growing disposition around
the state to send good strong men to the
Senate; men who will make good laws
regardless of the wishes of any cliques,
or rings who have some pet measure
that they wish passed regardless Of all
other legislation. The interests of the
state always suffer from the election of
a legislature on some one issue. Men
are chosen who are not qualified for
wise, general legislation. Let each
county send its strongest and best men
as Senators this year.

The Pure Food Bill.

We are glad to note that our represent
atives in Congress are actively interest
ing themselves in this measure that so
vitality concerns the farmers of this
state. The House has already passed it
by vote of POI to S. and it is now
before the Senate Walter Husband
thus outlines the measure and the work
of our representatives:
"The purpose of the bill is to prevent
the adulteration, misbranding and imi-
tating of foods, beverages, candies, drugs
and condiments, and for regulating
interstate commerce therein.
The interest of the Vermont delega-
ton is particularly great because of the
effect the law would have in protecting
Vermont's maple sugar interests from
the many limitations that now flood the
market in the form of sugar and syrup,
palmed off as the genuine Vermont
article. The practice of this deception
has grown until it is "A real menace to
maple sugar industry i'm Vermont New
York, Ohio and Michigan, and whether
the sugar season is a success or COM
plete failure there is always an abund-
ance of the so-called genuine article for
sale in the city markets.
The pure food bill calls for the organi-
cation of chemical lewiston of the de-
partment of agriculture which shall
have charge of the inspection of food,
drugs, etc. By the terms of the bill the
director of the bureau of chemistry is
required to procure from time to time
samples of food and drugs, offered for
sale in original packages in any state or
territory other than that in which they
have been manufactured or produced,
or from a foreign country, or intended
for export to a foreign country. These
will be subjected to a rigid analysis

1t is true enough that in ordinary
conversation when the record of a horse
is mentioned his fastest mark is intended
but that is because the word chest" is
generally left out for short, and ordinary
conversation does not settle legal points.
At the risk of having Brother Toman
consider me also obtuse, must repeat
that can see this question in but one
light. a horse with "a record of 2.20, we
will say, wins heat in IA contested race
in 2.25. That time is recorded under
the rules in the Judges book, and that
recording makes it a record for that day
and track for the performer. Horses,
like Prince Alert, have many times made
the fastest time ever shown on certain
half-mile tracks, though not as fast as
the performers have gone on other
tracks These are justly styled track
records, but it seems to me absurd to
credit the track with the record and
not the horse that makes the time A
horse can have only one best record at
any way of going, unless he ties his own
time, of course, but he does get a record
whenever he wins heat, and the per-
Torrance is duly recorded in the books.
The arrangement of tables in the Year
Book can have no bearing on the
point.

Horsemen.
Our readers are requested to send to "Grif-

horses that are OF enough consequence to be
noted in this department, which win be main

both local and widespread.
The Grand Trotting Circuit has long
been one of the best known and recog-
nized institutions of the turf. In 1866
Mr.. G. j. Hambln, Of Buffalo. n. Y. IA
shrewd business man, but an ardent
lover of the trottng horse, and a breeder
in a moderate way, especially of Patchen
stock, conceived the idea of giving a
meeting at the local track, with purses
much larger than had ever been offered
there. Then, as ever, there was reign
ing champion whom all with a drop of
sporting blood in their veins desired to
see. and his name was Dexter Mr..
Hamln conceived the idea of inducing
the ''better class" of people, especially
ladies, to attend the races, and give them
to effect this, he persuaded many of the
wealthy men, with families, to subscribe
for small amounts of stock, such as 800
or even $50 the latter figure being the
price of "A single share. This they did ,
not expecting any return, but in fact
they got very handsome dividend on
their small investments. Mr.. Hamlin
showed his long head, also, by consult

Larger purses, and DeXter's famous mile

acknowledged trotting center of the
country. Her success caused the cities
of Cleveland, o., and Rochester and
Utica, n. Y, to want a piece of the
chicken pie, and the first Grand Trotting
Circuit was composed of these three
tracks and Buffalo, beginning with
Cleveland and ending at Utica. Since
the links of the chain have been much
diversified, new members being added
and old ones dropping out from time tC

Commenting on its own figures, the
packing company says:
"Would call your attention to the fact
that the products are figured on the
gross weights. For instance, the butter
fat will average to weigh so pounds, but
only so per cent. of this will yield cleo
oil. Raw tallow will only yield II per
cent. of rendered tallow, the remainder
going to the fertilizer. From the paunch
the tripe is obtained, Ibut the contents
are simply dead waste.
"The effects of the drought last sum-
mer are showing very plainly ON the
good cattle that we are getting now. In
ordinary years prime native steer will
dress 60 to go per cent. Now what we
buy as good native steers and pay $50 TO
8 cents pound for will dress 81 to 50
per cent. Cattle selling on the market
at 1925 will dress GO per cent, and we
are not getting any finished cattle
This makes the percentage of Weld
all along the line much less. We have
less oleo oil, less tallow, and a smaller
percentage of yield on all the by pro-
ducts, difference which is very mater
ial to the packer. What we call our
prime beef now is costing us from ia to
l2t cents dressed, hanging in our coolers
On the basis of these costs, it is prac-
tically impossible for us to sell our beef
and make any margin. This is true of
any packer who is doing business in the
big markets today"

Buffalo, owing to unfavorable betting
regulations, passed several meetings.

custom for each track desiring place in
