THE IDEAL POULTRY HOUSE.

The ideal poultry house is difficult to
describe. There seems to be nothing
about the poultry business In regard to
which there Is wider difference of
opinion than on this point. Ii seems to
be the general opinion that the type
Of house Is not very important so long
as it is dry, well ventilated, and the
fowls have plenty of the proper kind
of food. Food is the essential thing, and
of course certain foods are much bet
ter than others. A. M. Brown of North
Rochester, Mass, gives his opinion on
this particular point in the following let
ter. He says: II have fed nearly all
the poultry foods on the market, but
not with such returns as Pages Per-
fected Poultry Food gives. My hens
have an average of 80 percent to their
credit. Last winter 1t was so percent.

The Board of Health aud the Trustee
Process have all had their share of at
tentiOn this past week. Otter Creek
has had more than its share but has
now been laid away tor keeps. The
only redeemahle thing about the Otter
Creek matter is that it has proven that
Bob McQ aen aud Addison County in
general ave alive to their opportunities,
They have al! got some free advertising
aud there is at least one man 10 every
town in Vermont that knows that YER
gennes has the finest water power in the
state. The bill was no quicker out of
the way than a fight developed over the
charter of the Vergennes Light and
Power Company aud the fight ragged
about these same falls aud this same
water power, Some capitalists from
Burlington are asking for charter to
develop the water power at Vergennes
aud party of Vergennes capitalists
wants a similar charter and the fight
seemed to be over the question as to
which company should have it. At any
rate the affair has given Vergennes more
free advertising than the best press
agent could pull off in year, but it has
cost the state some few thousand dollars.
The Burlington people have won out
and will probably develop the power
soon. This fight was the only one thus
far which developed into a fight of per-
sonalities and cross fire. McQuen
thought the Burlington Company would
become power grabbers and create a
water power trust throughout the state
and he won out in his fight to the ex.
tent of getting the bill amended so that
the rights given under the charter will
at all times be subject to the will of the
legislature and subject to existing laws
relating to power companies and Other
corporations.
