From year to year there have come
reports Of the increase Of deer in Con-
necticut which western people have
found 1t difficult to believe. Last year
there were complaints that the pro
tected animals were destroying far
mers' crops. This year comes the
story that the Connecticut game war
dens have given warning that motor
men on interurban electric cars must
exercise the utmost care not to run
down deer which happen to get upon
the track, or they will be made to
incur the full penalty of the law for
killing deer out Of season. 1t is said
that a considerable number of deer
have been killed in this way, espe
cially at night, when they were at
tracted by the headlights. Deei
stalking with an electric car is Ger
tainly a modern method of acquiring
venison; but they were always al

WHY Is FARM
HELP SCARCE?
Conditions Surrounding Country
Laborer Almost Reverse
OF Those Employed
An the City.
By S. C. MILLER9

Regularity and system of employ
ment in the city are such that the
employee knows exactly what Is re-
quired of him: that he begins to work
at certain hour and stops at reg
ular hour. If he labor before or after
his regular working hours he is al
lowed overtime, usually at double
wages, by the hour.
Furthermore, as the workman in
the city grows more proficient in his
line of labor, promotion almost invar-
iably pushes him up notch higher,
in both position and salary.
Again, certainty of employment the
year around holds many man In the
city.
The conditions surrounding the
country laborer are almost entirely
the reverse of those just mentioned in
the city. While most farmers have
regular hours for beginning work, and
another for stopping, there are SC
many Interruptions and unlocked for
contingencies arising in crop or
weather conditions. that the hired
man frequently works two or three
hours overtime and this grows to be
such common occurrence that all he
gets for his extra labor is perhaps q
half-hours longer rest at noon, which
Is really for the sake of the teams, 9
formal word of thanks, or-nothing!
AS for winning promotion the farm
hand rarely ever expects it. Some
times he demands better wages, bu
as for promotion, IN Its real sense. i
is little thought Of, either by tht
farmer or the hired man. and RICH
here a double loss is sustained-on,
for the employer and one for the EN-
ploye, since the hand has no incen
tive to spur him on to greater effor
and consequently. is not as eficien
in his work as he otherwise would be
He thereby does not increase hi
earnings nor do the best that is II
him, which would raise the profits o
his employer.
Closely linked with the above draw
back is that of employing hand 70
only a portion of the year-man
times for only two or three months
BY such method he scarcely become

accustomed to his position before he
leaves, which is decided detriment
to all concerned.
The farmer cannot possibly obtain
the amount of efficient help that he
could If the hand were retained long
enough to get settled Tin the harness"
so to speak, while the hand is placed
at a disadvantage by having to adjust
himself to the environments peculiar
to every place at which he begins to
work Then, too, he loses consider
able time in going from one place to
another, searching for work.
We are thoroughly convinced that
the farmer must adopt, to a certain
extent, the methods of the city en-
ployer If the hired man works over
time, he is earning his employer
money and should receive extra pay
for his labor. If. for any reason. he
loses time, he returns his employer
| nothing for that time and consequent
! ly should have an hours wages de-
Quoted from bis pay. This standard
would insure absolute fairness to both,
Then, let the farmer retain the
same hand the year around, even
though there be small part of the
time that he could be dispensed with.
The work of the busiest season will
be handled all the easier when 1t does
come on And as the seasons pass the
really wise farmer will see ample
cause for promoting the competent
hand and raising his salary accord

ing picture architect-a specialist In
the designing and building of motion
picture houses-and he was told to go
ahead and build two of the best ones
he ever planned.
The result more than repaid the plan
ners. When the theaters were turned
over to the railroads they were fully
up to expectations. The entrances to
foyer of the two was from the main
body of the Coliseum and the two wide
doorways were brilliantly lighted with
electric signs. The foyer ran the full
length of the Coliseum Annex and was
wide. Under foot was a soft carpet,
and on the walls were scenes OF farm
and home life in the west.
Theaters Are Resting Place.
The theaters themselves also were
reached by two broad doorways each.
Inside they were carpeted and fitted
with comfortable wide armed opera
chairs that furnished the grateful rest
ing place to the thousands that had
been Cooking around" in the big Coli

room was the platform on which the
lecturers stood, and to the left of this
was the screen ON which the pictures
were thrown. This was one huge sheet
without seam to mark or mar it. and

be had for the gathering. The cost of
harvesting and storing 1t is not
great as compared with the comfort
that 1t brings"
The accompanying illustration shows
the longitudinal section of combined
ice house and dairy as given in this
bulletin. 1t says in regard to this:
Even where for convenience and
economy 1t is desirable to have the
dairy under the same roof as the ice
house, 1t is not satisfactory to attempt
to combine the ice storage with a
cold store. When 1t Is necessary to
use ice for chilling milk or other dairy
products 1t is better to remove the ice
house or compartment and place it in
a specially constructed ice box or re-
frigerator, rather than to attempt to
maintain cold room by storing the
ice about and in contact with 1t. The
chief argument against the combined
arrangement is that it prevents the
storage of ice In solid mass. AS a
result, the waste is much greater.
Again, the requirements of the stor-
age room and the refrigerator vary
from time to time. Advantage can be
taken of these fluctuations to husband
the ice supply when the two are sep
arate. There are decided advantages
in having the ice supply convenient
to the dairy house or refrigerator, but
it is poor economy to build the refrig'
orator or cold store inside the ice

THE CAT.
MONTPELIER

From the standpoint of utility. ex-
cept in so far as decorativeness is
utility. not much can be said for the
average cat these days. The cat en-
Hoys its privileges without greatly con-
cerning itself with the responsibilities.
And in point Of fact, its services in
most houses would be superfuous.
The mousetrap now does for most
households what the cat formerly did.
Nor ia the cat particularly distin-
guished by the affection for its mas
her which is SO conspicuous in the
dog. it's sole domestic rival for the
warm spot under the kitchen stove
N you will note the cat carefully. you
will observe that 1t usually wants
something of you when 1t comes
around. None of its calls are courtesy
calls. The arched back and the
~.mew-mew" are eloquent Of its de-
Hires. II 1t does not receive these
marks of attention and fails to find
anything else that interests It. say. a
nice warm spot In your lap to take a
doze on. the cat moves majestically
and indifferently away. Your person
ality has no particulars charm for 1t.
Ut admires the radiator more than 1t
does you. These characteristic symp-
toms of self-centeredness and grave
detachment are reinforced by the eyes
of the cat. A cats eyes look at you,
but they seem to be looking beyond
you. They are like the eyes of the
Gagged lion. which always seem to be
seeing the distant desert that 1t loves
and that is calling to 1t by night and
day.

This is a story of how comfortable
little fortune was spent in three weeks:
1t wasn't squandered, and in Its way
that fortune put potential wealth into
the hands Of more than $4,000 per
sons in Chicago.
To begin at the beginning: When
the third Chicago Land Show was be-
ing planned the Union and Southern
Pacific railroad companies began to
plan also how they could attract their
share of the hundreds Of thousands
that would visit the show, to their ter
ritory. Many things were discussed
the Hrst being the idea of booths in
which to display the products grown
along the lines Of the RAILROADS.
THAT won't do" said Gerritt Fort
and Charles 8. Fee, passenger traffic
managers OF the Union and Southern
Pacific railroads. We've got to have
something different this year. Last
year we showed what our farmers
can do. This year we want to show
what all OF US can do
Plan to Spend a Fortune.
And right there began the plant
for spending this fortune. After doz
en- different suggestions had beer
thrashed out there was evolved the
one used, that of having two moving
picture palaces built into the Coliseum
at Chicago and there showing stereop
ticon and moving pictures not only o
farm life but of town and city lif'
along the Union and Southern Pacifi,
lines.
Twenty thousand dollars was tn,
sum decided upon as necessary t
make the display. The space at tn
Coliseum that was allotted to the rail
roads was put in the hands Of NOV
