Falls Into Boiling Dye.

A shocking accident occurred at the
American Wooden company's mills in
Wlnooski Monday afternoon at about
three o'clock when William Ryan fell
into a vat of dye in the dye house. DR..
E. A. Heath was summoned and the
patient was taken to the Mary Fletcher
hospital, where he was made as COM
Portable as possible but his recovery is
doubtful. Mr.. Ryan was doing some
piping over the vat and was standing
upon some rafters with fellow worker
by the name of Creole. The latter had
left his position to get some tools on the
floor below when the rafter broke and
let Mr.. Ryan into the boiling dye. He
was Immediately pulled out of the vat
and showed much grit, walking some
$50 yards to the finishing room when he
fell unconscious. He was burned from
head to foot and had swallowed some of
the liquid. The watts in which the dyes
are mixed are about eight feet deep
and about four or five feet in diameter.
The rafters upon which he was working
were about fifteen feet above the vat.
The dye stuffs are kept boiling at about
POI degrees. Mr.. Ryan is about "a
years old and has no relatives in town.
1t is said that his parents are living in
Ireland and that he has a sister but her
address is unknown. He has been a
resident of Winooski for about two
years, residing at Mrs. Mary Com
panion on Malletts Bay avenue.
Mr.. Ryan died at the hospital at as
o'clock Tuesday morning.

$3.50 Coal Carries $500 in Gold

An interesting feature about the coal
mined at Cambria, Wyo., is that it is
claimed to be gold-bearing. Some of
the coal has contained as much as So
per ton in gold, and the coal was sold
for only $3.50 per ton. When coke
made at Cambria was selling for SO. so
per ton samples were taken from 81
cars during a period of three weeks
and assayed. The samples showed an
average of $2.46 per ton in gold and
so. % in silver. The explanation offered
for the presence of gold in this coal is
that the sands which submerged the
old peat bog and now form the roof of
the coal bed were derived in part from
gold bearing alluvium. While the sand
was being deposited the gold worked
down into the underlying bog and is
now found in the coal.
This is one of the interesting state
ments made in a report to be published
in few days by the u. S. Geological
Survey. 1t is Bulletin 499. entitled
Goal near the Black Hills, Wyoming
South Dakota" by R. w. Stone.
What the coal will do under a boiler
is shown by comparative tests made by
the Lincoln Traction Co., Lincoln,
Nebr., and by the Geological Survey
fuel testing plant at st. Louis. These
tests are compared with similar tests
made on competing Goals. Beside a
description of the coal field and coal
mining operations at Cambria, which is
miles north of Newcastle, Wyo., the
report contains description of all
known coal exposures around the Black
Hills extending from Sundance and
Aladdin, Wyo., to the openings in the
bank of Cheyenne River east of Edge
mont, S. Oak. Four different Goals,
bitumous, splint, camel, and "pine
needle" are produced here. The con-
clusion reached is that none of the Goa
localities around the edge of the Black
Hills, except Cambria, will ever add tc
the States record of coal produced ano
shipped. The report is fully illustrated.
The information contained in this re.
port was collected by Mr.. Stone al
various times while he was examining
lands for classification. 1t was not
originally compiled for publication, but
it proved to be SO comprehensive anc
complete that it has been assembled
under one cover. Bulletin 499 can be
obtained free on request from the

On recent visit to Burlington of
State Cattle Commissioner Fred L. Davis
of White River Junction he expressed
himself as being well pleased with the
result of the cattle testing operations.
He said: The farmers are showing
much more interest than formerly in
the work and applications for testing
have been received from people who
have never desired one before. Farmers
are also exerting more care in buying,
and now, as rule, buy only cattle
which they know are all right. Since
the first of the year, about 30 head of
cattle have been sent out to the render
ing plant in Burlington and there are
probably another 100 which have been
killed in the State since that time.

1t is not always advantageous to
plant the garden as early as possible.
Under certain conditions Nature hastens
the growth of late planted seeds so
that the difference in time of their
ripening will not accord with the diff
ference in paintings. This is particu-
larly the case when the season is late
and rainy. Plant for succession of
the different vegetables. A garden in
which most of the planting is done at
about the same time will not give as
good results as where period of time
elapses between the second, third or
fourth paintings of the same vegeta-
bles. Particularly is this true of peas,
says Farm and Home. Where a num-
Der of different varieties were tried the
best results were obtained from one or
two varieties planted in succession. In
sweet corn, however, this was not so
apparent. 1t was found best to rely on
several varieties as we'll as successive
paintings. If the season was backward
or the paintings made unusually early,
sweet corn seemed to be very slow in
growth On the other hand, the corn
planted later would grow very fast
under favorable conditions and almost
catch up with the first paintings. To
overcome this difficulty it was found
advisable to rely on the paintings of
different varieties.

The poor matches Of the past season

We believe most of the infertility comes

few eggs in winter lay strong, fertile
eggs in the natural laying season.

1916. We took up claim, our nearest
nelghbor was two miles away, and
the nearest post office was SIX miles
away. We had no envelopes, no post
age stamps, and letters we're not pre-
paid. When found we had a letter in
the post office, we had to pay five
cents in cash to get it. One incident
in my life l can never forget: I
had earned the magnificent sum of
five cents. My father was expecting
a letter containing some money, but
for the time being he was entirely out
of money. SO he proposed to borrow
my hard earned cash. did not know
the meaning of borrow, so [ objected,
but my father took my money and
went to town. What did l do? Just
cried all the time he was gone. He
got his money aud returned my treas
ure, and then my tears dried up.
This is very trivial affair but [ can
truthfully say that have never had a
financial loss that affected me as that
one. had my house burn once while
l was away at church.; have had
horses and COWS to die and have lost
money In other ways, but no loss
seemed SO grievous as when father
borrowed my half-dime. -"
What change has come from no
envelopes, no postage stamps and five
cent rate paid at the end of the
journey of the letter. So we will see
great changes in the parcels post law.
Even as the law now stands it will be
great thing for farmers. Nearly all
farm houses have the telephone, so
they can call up their merchant, the
baker, the butcher, the druggist, and
have what they want in many cases
sent out by mail. In England and
Germany it is wonderful to read how
much they use the mail as means of
supplying their wants. 1t will be so
here when we get adjusted to the new
order.

the city people be opposed to granting
this boon to the farmers? They are
not; it was not fight between city
and farm that delayed the adoption
of the parcels post law. 1t had the
appearance of fight between the city
and the rural districts, but that was
only on the surface, for the real fight
was the people against the express
companies. 1t is well-known that an
nually the express companies "cut a
big melon amounting to many mil
lions of dollars. No kind of business
paid such enormous dividends as
these express companies. But why
did not the people arise in their might
and put down such system of fitch
ing of the peoples money? Aye,
there's the rub. Who are these men
owning and controlling these express
companies? When the matter is look
ed into it is found that they are the
officials of the railroads with few ex-
captions. The railroad companies as
such were not making these enormous
profits. These express companies
paid the railroad companies but
moderate rates for hauling their goods
but the express rates were out of all
reason. We think that when we get
ten per cent on an investment of
money we are doing exceedingly we'll,
but these express companies received
annually profits three or four times
larger than the capital invested. So
when we get down to the last analysis
it was the railroads through their
officials against the people.
The new parcels post law is not all
that we have commended for but it is
a beginning, aud it will be improved.
1t is interesting to study the improve
ments that have been made in the
post office department during the last
fifty or sixty years. The writer when
