Some of the papers were disposed to
sheer at DR.. Mead when he joined the
Rutland grange and said 1T was politics. .
\ man who personally directs the manage
ment of farm of nearly 1000 acres and
has raised this year the best fifty acres Of
corn grown in Vermont has pretty good
license to join the grange. Fifty acres of
corn in one piece is not a common sight
in this state where more corn ought to be
raised and less western corn bought. Dr.

The Fair Haven Era, whose editor at
tended the Fish and Game banquet, draws
this pen picture of the quartet of guber-
material candidates:
John meaning Charles w. Gates was
overheard talking roads, hobby by the
way with Gates, but hobby he is making
such good use of that all the state is in
clined to forgive him for INDUCING in it;
Lieut. Gov. Mead was interested in a GER
tain cornfeld and naturally took quite a
bit of pride in photograph of it; DIN
Merrill was wondering all by himself, just
what all this stir about the governorship
meant and whether it was too late for him
to get in; and Frederick G.. Fleetwood was
casting about for mirror so that he might

Some one has wisely suggested now that
John w. Titcomb is coming back to Yer
mont that he be given his old job OF FISH
and game commissioner. Nothing would
be of greater benefit to the fish and game
interests of the state Mr. Titcomb is a
practical man who has had wide expert
ence as head of the government fisheries
bureau; he knows what is needed to pro-
tect and increase our supply of game fish,
and is equally well informed about fur and
feathers. H. G. Thomas the present com
missioner, is no doubt sincere in his
efforts at fish and game protection but he
is stubborn, cranky and old-maidish.

OF course it's merely our personal opin-

the new Journals "guileless faith in prac-

to us. With the announcement that the

to our mind the picture of an alert, fear

much like those of its strongest competitor

expressed, conciliatory and apologistic.

Foundry Team Defeated Mill Men.

One of the most keenly contested ball
games ever seen in Hinsdale took place
last Saturday at Riverside park when the
nine representing the Eagle Iron foundry
defeated the nine representing the Ami
don wooden mill to in a deciding game
of the series. Previous to this meeting
each team had won game but neither Of
the first two games approached last Sat
urdays game either in the playing or in
the closeness of the score. For l3 long
innings the battle was waged and until
Walker crossed the plate with the winning
run for the Iron Boys" the result was in
doubt Each team had large number of
enthusiastic supporters in the crowd and
the noise at times was almost deafening
As is usually the case in such stubbornly
fought game numerous disputes arose but
all were amicaby settled by the impair
tial umpire, DR.. Roberts. In bestowing
honors since all the players played such
an aggressive and consistent game, yet
special mention must be made of Capt.
Young and Pitchers Latham and Walker
OF the winning team. Young was always
in the game, working with his head as
well as his lands and it was his clever
steal home t%n eighth inning that was
the box in the eighth inning, was practical
ly invincibe. He also lined out two
base hit in the thirteenth and few min
utes scored the winning run. The praise
worthy features of the mills team play
ing were the clever pitching of Quigley,
Smiths steady catching and Mann's hit
ting. The teams took the field as follows:

A DENIAL FROM
HIGH AUTHORITY,

From National Food Magazine Chicago
DR.. H. w, Wiley, Chief Chemist of
the Agricultural Department, has de-
manded of the Calumet Baking Powder
Company, of Chicago, that it cease the
publication of alleged certificates or
statements that he had endorsed the Cal
umet Baking Powder, or reported in ia
vor of its purity, wholesomeness or SUI
periority. Such statements, he says, are
false.
DR.. Wiley never served upon a COM
mittee of awards, as alleged, nor signed
such report or certificate, nor did he
ever indorse the Calumet Baking Powder
in any way. On the contrary, DIR. Wiley
testified before a Congressional Com
mittee relative to alum in food, as fol-
lows: las l have said repeatedly,
do not use it III my own home, and
would not use alum in bread if l knew
it. Alum is injurious"
It seems that DR.. Wiley's demand that
the Calumet Company should cease these
publications, which are, he says,
against the TRUTH" was not complied
with. although he says he has done all
he could ito stop the base and inexcus-
able use of his name"
The public will share in DR.. Wiley's
Indignation that his name and official
position should be fraudulently used to
aid in foisting upon consumers a food
compound made from ingredients which
the Doctor has publicly declared to be
injurious.

Hen That CheWS Tobacco.

The saltiest old salt that sails the sea
does not love a chew of tobacco better
than does a hen owned by Burt Miller,
a lawyer of Youngstown, 0. For more
than a year the hen, which was always
Industrious and remunerative, has re-
fused to lay her customary egg each day
unless her system is toned by tobacco.
So, each day Mr.. Miller sets before her
a can of chewing tobacco and she takes
a chew. The word ''chew" is fgurative,
for, of course, nothing is rarer than
hens teeth This hen pecks at the to-
bacco in the can, plainly with great en-
joyment, and, after holding it in her
mouth a while, elects it. The love of
tobacco must be an aquired taste for
hen, just as are caviar and olives for a
man. Mr.. Miller thinks his hen acquired
the taste by eating cuds of tobacco
which she found on his grounds after his
man of all work had no further use for
them. The hen will chew only the best
fine cut of one particular brand. She
has refused to taste samples of other
brands sent to her by their manufac-
turers, who may have had in mind the
value of an advertisement reading:
even hens are not happy until they get
our 'baccy.'" Mr.. Miller tried to cure
his hen of the habit by giving her
tobacco cure" 1t had not effect on her,
however efficacious it may be on hui
mans. This hens eggs have not the
slightest taste nor odOr of nicotine, but
are strictly fresh.

A Maine Peat "We1Io

An analysis of the strange mixture
which spurted ten feet in the air when
Henry Hagan was digging a trench on
the Alonzo Davis place at Norridgewock
a few weeks ago shows that it is the
finest peat. So finely separated are the
particles that the substance, after the
water evaporates from it, is nearly all
carbon. 1t hardens quickly, and when
In this state burns readily. Hagan was
digging a trench through a piece of low
ground when he struck the vein. 1t
spurted into the air with rush that
drove the men from the trench. The
substance was SO fine that the men
thought it contained oil, but the ANALYSIS
showed this conclusion to be erroneous.
About ten tons are in sight, and it is
believed that there is still larger deposit
under the surface. These suggestions
are borne out by the fact that the stuff
spouted out like an oil well for a while,
indicating that somewhere it is under
great pressure from a clay or other de-
post. Hagan and his friends have been
using the mud as polish on har-
nesses and boots. To the touch it feels
much like graphite.-Kennebec Journal.
