The Price Is 80 Down Here.

The state of Vermont is becoming a
vast hen ranch. if it hasn't already ar
rived. \ hundred hens are kept where
ten could scarcely be found five years ago;
Biddy is cackling today on thousand
hills and in every valley, and yet, she
is away behind the demand, With the
vast increase in egg production. the price
is still continually rising, and the present
price OF 25 cents per dozen is much in
excess of the prevailing rates at this time
OF year. Shipments to the cities are enor-
nous. and from every hamlet the outflow
is steadily increasing. Eggs are largely
taking the place of meat, evidently, as
they should. In any event the hen is by
far the leading wealth producer in Yer
mont today.

Jupiter Pluvius played hob with the
Rutland county fair last week, as he
did also with the shows at Worcester
and Athol, Mass, Nashua, N. H., and
Springfield and Sheldon, vt. 1t was
a case of postpone, postpone and post
pone until everyone became tired Of
wet canvas, soggy turf, drenched
bunting and muddy tracks. But
there's plenty of time for things to
get dried out between now and week
after next.

The first military dirigible balloon built
in England made two tria trips Tuesday
and with the exception of slight hitch
caused by the breaking of a belt IN the
machinery that drove the cooling fan, the
airship appears to have answered all the
eypectation of its designers. The recent
success of French and Germany army air.
ships have awakened a very great degree
of interest in England on the subject OF
aerostatics. Reports of the trial to be held
leaked out and the military authorities,
who have steadily been trying to mystlty
the public found themselves obliged to
carry out the trials in the presence OF sew,
eral hundred people. Among the crowd
were representatives of a number of for
eign nations intent upon cleaning all pos,
sible information on the striking and
novel points of the balloons construction.
The English airship proved itself capable
of being easily handled, able to travel
with and against the wind and, most I'M
portant of all, capable of being steered.
Interest in the whaling industry, on
which the reputation and wealth of New
Bedford was based a generation ago, has
been revived within the past few weeks
by renewed activity in that line. Within
the brief space of 10 days three vessels
have sailed from that port for the whal-
ing grounds, and last week there arrived
in port the whaling brig Sullivan, which
returned from 81 months cruise with
one of the richest catches ever taken by
a New Bedford ship. While the industry,
probably will never in the future reach
the proportions it attained 80 years ago,
nevertheless New Bedford is still the .prln-
cipal whaling port in the world and the
prices of whalebone and whale oil con,
tinue to be fixed by the New Bedford
markets.

The following aneedote is vouehed
for by man whose reputation for
veracity is first class. A Brattleboro
minister was eating his luncheon on
the train the other day and had fin
ished the contents of his box with
the exception of two sandwiches. As
he was about to lay the box away a
hungry-looking stranger across the
aisle said, ''Mister, if you don t want
those sandwiches you might pass 'em
over here. I'm pretty hungry and
would be willing to pay for EN-" The
minister seemed willing enough to
part with the residue of his lunch and
handed the box to the man across the
aisle. "What do you want for emf"
said the hungry one. 40, / guess 20
cents will be enough" replied the
preacher, evidently believing in the
revised version of the Golden Rule
Do Others or They II Do You.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Mar S. The
scarcity of pine timber in the Middle
die West has impelled lumber mills
engage In a novel undertaking b.
which they hope to save millions Of
dollars worth OF logs which now lie
at the bottom of the Mississippi and
other rivers extending from the north
ern part of Minnesota where the Miss
issippi has Its source, to La Crosse, in
all about 1000 miles OF riverbed For
fifty years logging has been arried
on by rafting pine logs down the river
to the various mills, guided by small
steamers or tugs
Old logging men and mil owners
believe that the new undertaking will
resnt In fortunes for those engaged
in the work. II is believed that the
river bottom is literally paved with
pine logs even as far south as Du
buque. Iowa. II has been demonstrate
ed that logs may be raised with great
profit. The plan is TO lift these logs
with a hoisting engine erected on flat
boats, place the logs on the river bank
and have a government sealer inspect
them and record the marks found
thereon When the original owner can
be found he win be compensated at
the rate of $S per thousand foot. This
represents Just so much clear gain 10
the owner and still leaves a margin
OF profit to the holsters, who can find
a ready market tor the reclaimed logs
at from 81 to Si4 thousand feet
The logs that become Tdeadheads'
or 'sinkers' are chiefly of the small
variety known to lumbermenmen as

Sound pine logs do not deteriorate
when submerged in water no matter
how long they are immersed Logs
which have lain under water half a
century have been found in perfac
condition, and lately some of the best
lumber produced has been that from
some gigantic pine logs that were
felled forty-iiye years ago and became
drawn down in cne of the neighboring
lakes. by the waterlogging OF hard
wood timber with which the raft was
bound The entire raft, chain bound
was lifted and halt a million feet OF
perfect timber was recovered.
Other streams in Minnesota, wilson
sin and Michigan, where logs have
been RATED for years will be explored
by the company now formed to begin
operations on the Mississippi river
Each lumberman has private mark
which IS affixed to every log The
state logging surveyors have a copy
of these marks or brands and when a
log Is recovered is will be an easy
matter to tell to whom il originally
