FEATHERS AND EGGshELIs.

Those who choose DOrkingS for eggs
are usually disappointed. The English
call the Dorking the cream Of table
chickens" and for the table it is dandy
when bred and fed right
In England in 1914 twenty eggs were
sold for a penny. and If the seller re-
fused to take that his eggs were for
feited. That was before America and
the American trust were discovered.
In mixing mash most poultrymen
moisten the bran and other ingredients
with cold water. The bran should be
scalded. otherwise much of the nu-
TRENT value Is lost in the droppings
and gritty sharp edged particles are
apt to cause irritation.
Clearfeld county Pa.) fanciers have
been so pestered with chicken thieves
that the Coalport poultry raisers
bought a bloodhound to track the
thieves. No less than six men were in
the county Jail at n time awaiting
trial for chicken stealing.
The gold diggers of Gold City. Jo-
hannesburg. South Africa. got a ner-
vous shock when Sir Thomas Culliam,
NJ. p, told them not to think so highly
Of the gold they dug out of their mines
that it was surpassed in value by
the eggs laid by the hens of the United
States.
. The practice of penning breeding
ducks closely is a mistake. AS these
are select ducks and the foundation
stock. they should be kept near to ma
ture. Give them a good grass run
with water, If possible, and nutritious
mashes with plenty of meat food right
before and during breeding season.
A committee of nine, appointed by
the American Poultry association, Is
Mt present working on a standard for
the utility side of the poultry bust
ness. Utility is the foundation OF
the poultry industry, really the whole
thing. and 1t will not be long till the
utility show. will be the whole show
and the industry, thus encouraged
make greater strides than ever.
1t Is remarkable how many profess
sional men are raising poultry. We
always find them at farmers insti-
tutes where we lecture, and they chase
VI to our hotel to interview us, and
we find many Of them enthusiastic
experts. Pure bred birds are pretty
interesting pets. and they pay. They
take the tired mind OFF the daily
grind. Yes. the simple life In Its
varied phases is a godsend to man.

A Pleased Savings Bank
Depositor

There is no county in Vermont. indeed.
hardly a town in the state, or a state in
the Union, that does not make deposits
in the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
The unprecedented growth of that in
stitution is the result of t NO things first,
confidence; second, satisfaction with its
management.
Everybody is well treated at that bank
and everybody is satisfied.
Ask your neighbor who deposits there
and see if he does not vouch for the
truthfulness of this statement.

A Safe Savings Bank

During its more than twenty-three
years of existence, the Hyde Park Saw
ings Bank never lost a dollar by a poor
note, a poor stock or a poor bond.
This can only mean that its managers
possess great conservatism, excellent
judgement and painstaking care.
1t means a close adherance to the
motto of the bank from its start, name-
ly: safety first, last and always" thigh
rates Of interest-never."
Deposits in this bank receive 4 per
cent interest, compound semI-annually,
with all the taxes paid by the Bank.

A fact probably not generally known
is that the state Of Oregon since early
territorial days in 1886 has been loan.
ing money to farmers of the state.
The loans are made in denominations
Of from $3.50 to $1,000. the smaller
loans being given the preference. The
borrower pays an interest rate of 9 pei
cent In 1910 there was being loaned
$40. While the terms on which the
loans are made are strict not a single
farm loan was in process of foreclo
sure.

HOT SPELL
Vigorous Thunderstorm Wednss-
day Did the Business.

Jupiter Pluvius performed a large
sized surgical operation on the back
bone of the heat wave in Burlington
Wednesday and now comes John K.
Hooper, the weather doctor on the hill,
with the cheerful announcement that
the hot spell is broken and will probably
be followed by several days of moder-
ately cool weather.
The rain storm that cooked the goose
for the torrid spell broke over Burling-
ton and vicinity about 1880 o'clock We'd
nesday. 1t was accompanied by inces-
SAINT thunder and lightning, the flashes
being very sharp at times. 1t was the
heaviest rainfall recorded in any n
day since May 20, the total fall being
1.O2 inches up to nine o'clock and was
almost as heavy as for the entire month
of June, when 1.1S inches fell.
Forecaster Hooper said that the storm
Wednesday evening was the heaviest in
several years. Clouds began to gather
at STA and at CLIO the first clap of
thunder was heard, the loudest coming
at 7:4s. Rain began to fall at 7:ls
o'clock.
The best news in a long time, how
ever, was that announced by Mr.. Hoop
err. who said that the severe storm
meant the breaking of the hot spell and
that several cool days would probably
now be in order. The temperature
stayed up till 6 80 Wednesday afternoon,
when it began to descend. The high
est was SO degrees and at five O'Clock it
was 80. At a little after nine O'Clock it
had reached the 6S point.
The kiosk in City Hall Park showed
that the maximum temperature record
ed there was 81 for the day, this point
being reached at 800 p. m. An hour
later the figure had dropped to go.
This record exceeded considerably the
figure for Tuesday, but fell somewhat
short of the maximum for Monday,
when, at 300 p. M, the reading in the
kiosk was SO.
At Montpelier Wednesdays heat was
fully as great as that of the preceding
week and was felt worse because of the
general exhaustion. Montpelier juno
ton, with 100 in the shade, was proba-
bly, about the hottest place in Wash
ington county. In the stoneshed Sec
ton at the Pioneer it was SO in the
shade at four o'clock in the afternoon
and downtown thermometers registered
from 80 to 81 in the shade. The stone
sheds are nearly all either closed or
have less than a dozen men at work.
The first of the Wednesday afternoon
half-holidays gave many downtown
workers a chance to seek any available
relief. There has been one case of SUM-
stroke reported and the heat prostra.
tons are many, ranging from slight in
dispositions to critical cases. Reports
from surrounding districts range from
81 at Middlesex Center to SO in Calais,
At st. Adams thermometers at the
American House Wednesday noon reg
istered 100 degrees in the shade
Though a breeze from the south wa
blowing almost all day, Wednesday wa'
considered the hottest day of the ''hot
spell.'

SOME MISTAKES IN POULTRY
100 Many Beginners Start on Too
Large scale-Most Common err.
ror is Learning Too Fast"

1t is well for the beginner TO adopt
the advice of men who are veterans
In the service. In order that they may
avoid many OF the stumbling blocks,
says the Poultry Journal.
Too many novices start on too
large scale. They are not content
TO begin at the bottom round of the
ladder and gradually climb to the
top. That is too slow for them. If
blessed with sufficient capital they are
pretty sure to start on n large scale.
Without experience, is It any wonder
that they do not su;ceed?"
But this is not the only cause OF
failure with the beginner. The 9TH
ers might briefly be stated as hay
Ing too much land; buildings too scat
tered, entailiag too much unnecessary
labor the breed or breeds selected
not being suitable for the purpose
intended; house not built upon
the sanitary plan too much chang
ing OF the bill Of fare; unmindful Of
small details; harboTipg too much un-
profitable stock; carsiessness In car
Ing for ailing birds; relying too
much on hired help, and learning too
fast
IL is waste of money TO buy too
much land. From to 10 acres Is sui.
hcient for the largest kind of plant.
general mistake is tho continual
changing of the bill OF fare. There
should be one system of feeding and
that regularly followed. The bill of
rare should contain the greatest va
riety possible, but the system should
not be changed. New articles of food
should not be given to the exclusion
OF others until the fowls have had a
chance to become acquainted with
them. All additions or chsnges
should be gradually made. If the
fowls are doing we'll on what they
are getting, no change should be
made at all
Probably the most common error Is
learning too fast" 1t is note,
worthy fact that, ae a rule, by the
close o. tho flrst year the beginner
forms the opinion chat he knows It
all Thirty years spent in tho EouI,
try yard has taught tho writer that
no has much yet to leaYn, There is
always something a5w turning UP.
