Suggestions TO Maple Sugar
Makers and Dealers.

Vermont maple sugar and syrup are
the pride of our state. Every true YER
monter desires this well known product
to be above criticism in every way where
ever found. The public of this and other
states has awakened to realize that the
delivery of full net weight and measure
is most important. Therefore the in
terests of your business and your state
demand that every precaution be taken
against the sale of less quantities than
represented.
In the past many syrup cans which
were short in capacity have been sold in
this state. 1t is therefore imperative
that you make certain that every can or
bottle in which you sell your syrup will
hold the supposed gallon, quart, etc.
In the purchase of cans, ETC., you should
buy them subject to that condition and
test them with sealed measure before
acceptance. When sugar is sold in
pals, the weight of the pals should be
ascertained before the sugar is poured
in and such tare weight should be care
fully kept separate and not included or
sold as sugar for it certainly is not
sugar This does not preclude a
separate charge for the pail. That
feature must be governed by the in
dividual seller as he deems best.
All syrup should be sold by measure
and all sugar by weight. Every
customer rightfully frowns upon any
evasion or apparent evasion of the
purposes of the law such as the sale of
syrup and sugar by the "can" or
"pail".
Copies of the specifications and regu-
lations for weights measure or other
information or assistance at hand will
be gladly furnished upon request.

Weights and Measures, Chester,

New tuberculosis Organization
Every DAY.

Nearly 2, 900 organizations of various
kinds were engaged in the fight against
tuberculosis on January /, 1912, and
new agencies have been formed during
the past year at the rate of about one a
day, according to statement issued
today by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis.
These anti-tuberculosis agencies in
clude 618 associations and committees.
421 sanatoria, hospitals and camps; 1865
dispensaries and clinics; and 81 open air
schools. If to these were added 200
state and local boards of health and a
number of other institutions, such as
hospitals for the insane and penal insti-
buttons, making special provision for
tuberculosis cases, the total number of
agencies engaged in tuberculosis work
would be swelled to nearly 1000.
During the year 1911 the greatest per-
centage of increase among the different
forms of tuberculosis work was among
the open air schools for anaemic and
tuberculous children. On January l,
1911, there were only 20 open air schools
in operations or provided for in the
entire country. On January /, 1912,
there were 81, an increase of 214 per
cent. Sixtytwo new schools have been
established or provided for this past
year. This entire number of open air
schools have been established since jan
uary l, 1907.
On January l, 1905, there We're about
$50 different agencies engaged in anti
tuberculosis work, of which number Ill
were sanatoria. TheSincrease to over
1000 agencies has emphasized, the ma
tional association points out, the i'm
portance of the campaign for the pre-
vention of consumption being carried on
in all parts ofithe country.

At least fifteen minutes before any
alarm was turned in, New York police
men entered the Equitable building and
saw employees feverishly fighting the
flames which eventually engulfed the
structure and brought huge financial loss
and six deaths; but those policemen
didn't call the fremen because they
were ordered out of the building and
told to mind their own business. Some
one ought to be called upon to explain,
as it seems to be the general belief that
if the firemen had been promptly called
the fire would have been subdued in the
kitchen of the cafe, where it started.
Such clashing of authority at perilous
time needs remedying, for it is likely to
occur many, many times when attaches
of the huge houses in New York's bust
ness district think overmuch of their
Importance and ability Barre Times.
We belive it was the duty of the
policemen, whether ordered from the
building or not, to send in the alarm and
summon the fire department, and should
this have been done there is no doubt
the building and, more than that, the
lives of six human beings would have
been saved.

teachings.
Only about thirty-five years ago the
first practical incubators were placed
upon the market in this country.
Previous to this time chickens were
Matched and raised in the natural way.
Large poultry farms were considered
impractical, as no satisfactory method
of Matching, feeding and caring for
large focks of fowls had been found at
that time. After the introduction of
incubators and breeders, improvements
in their mechanism and in the manner
of caring for large fiocks came thick
and fast, until the present time; and
while we look over the broad field of
poultry work and knowledge in its
present stage of advancement we can
see instinctively many chances for
future improvement.
In the early days a chicken was a
chicken and hen was a hen without
regard to her individuality, except per-
haps the single consideration of size;
but recent records of sales of individual
birds ranging in price tfrom few dol
lars up to several hundred prove that
there is just as much difference in the
value of poultry as there is in the value
of any other class of live stock on
the farm. The highest prices have been
obtained for birds solely on account of
their exhibition or fancy points, leaving
the scientific development of superior
egg-laying qualities to be developed in
the future to its highest state of per.
lection. Work along this line has beer
undertaken comparatively recently with
satisfactory results. The Christian
Herald.

No greater mistake can be made
when starting to keep poultry, either
as business or as a side line, than
that of thinking very little prepare
ton or knowledge is required to make
a success of the venture. While this
view has been taken and advocated by
many out-of-date writers and poultry
men, the numerous abandoned poultry
plants which may be seen in travelling
over the country stand as silent but
conclusive evidence of the folly of such
