Where Men Are Produced
The new railroad from Waterbury
to North Troy ought not to fail for
lack of congressional support. The
entire Vermont delegation in con-
gress is from towns along the line
of this proposed road. Senator Page
was born in Westfield in 1843; Senator
Dillingham; in Waterbury in l843, and
Congressman Frank Plumley in Eden.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1912-06-05

1911. land this is as far as we have
had opportunity to examine the Con-
gressional Record) discloses that the
only time Mr.. Plumley ever made
remarks on the floor of the house was
on March 22nd. 1910. when he rose to
a question of personal privilege and
asked to have the record corrected to
show that on certain roll call he
voted "Yea" instead of MAY"
The News says that Mr.. Flumley
has taken an active, aggressive part
as constructive legislator. 1t may
be that he has, but the Congressional
Record fails to show it. The record
does show, however, : that Mr..
Plumley voted for the establishment
of the Commerce Court. which many
believe was designed to hamper the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
and against every amendment intro
duced to lessen the powers of that
court. Senator LaFollette recently
said the Commerce Court. sis in a
position to destroy. and is now
actually destroying. the work of the
most progressive Interstate Commerce
Commission the country has ever
had"
Mr.. Plumley has doubtless per.
formed the regular routine work of q
congressman in procuring the pas
sage Of certain number of pension
bills. and occasional bill for q
federal building and the establish
ment of r. F. D routes. but has his
name been favorabiy connected with
any important legislation in the
interests of his district. state or
country? How many Vermont men
now occupy federal positions through
his efforts? Has he usually been
prompt, persistent, and successful in
responding to requests from his
constituents? Are the farmers today
certain of his position upon pending
oleomargarine legislation?
The Monitor does not like to criti-
else or censure. but in justice to the
other candidates for the high office
Mr.. Plumley now fills, and in justice
to the voters of the second district.
we have felt obliged to answer the
article in the News, using only such
facts and material as we have found
in the official records of the proceed
ings of Congress, and depending upon
the hearsay or assertion Of no one.
We cannot therefore agree with the
News that Mr. Plumley's record is
the best reason for his retention.
Any member of the house of repre-.
sentatives can cast his vote on q
measure when it comes to a vote
but the second district of Vermont
wants a man who is aggressive and
progressive and who will take some
part in the deliberations of that body
while in session.
The Monitor trusts it's readers who
care little for politics will have
plenty of patience with the news
papers of Vermont for the next few
months. It's little short of impos'
sible for an editor not to express his
preference and opinion on matters
of political interest. Would that more
of our citizens took a vital Interest
in such matters.
1t looks good to the Monitor to see
Barton go to the convention with
seven delegates. This is due to the
loyal manner in which our voters
always turn out at the polls. 1t is a
sign good to behold and we hope tc
see it continued. Barton has for
several years been the largest voting
town in the county and we hope to
see Individual pride and loyalty keep
Barton at the head Of the column.

HOW no WASH FEATHERS

Here is said to be a good way
to wash feathers: Make a bag of
thin muslin and rub the entire
surface inside and out with laun-
dry soap, dipping the soap in the
water often so that it may be gen
erously applied. Empty the feath-
ers out of the old tick into the
soaped one, fastening the latter
securely by either sewing up the
open end. or tying it. Boil for ten
minutes in wash boiler half full
of water, punching the feathers
frequently with a stick and lift
ing the bag up and down.
Then lift it out. and drain I'M

MAKES BIC MONEY
FROM CyGJTBER5
Austin Man Is Also Making
Good Profit From Grow
ing Chill Pepper.

Austin, Tex. July 13.-GrOwing Gu
cumbers is a very profitable business
in this part of Texas, according to the
record made this year upon the Walker
farm. situated in the valley of the
Colorado river, three miles below AUS
tin.
Our net profit fro misc acres Of
cucumbers which we recently finished
harvesting was approximately $4,000
said Del Walker, manager of the farm.
We gathered about $4,000 bushels of
cucumbers which we converted into
pickles al our capnery here. The
pickles made 100 carloads
Our net profit from $50 acres of
this farm is that upon the same land
where cucumbers We're grown, a fine
crop of cotton is now being produced.
While this cotton was planted some
what late, it is being boosted along
somewhat late, it is being boosted
along rapidly by means of irrigation
and it is claimed by Mr. Walker that
there is every prospect of yield Of
nearly two bales per acre. This is not
an exOrbitant estimate Of cotton yield
where the plants are grown by means
of irrigation.
Mr. Walker has been growing chilli
peppers upon a large scale upon this
farm for the last three years. His
chilli pepper crop this year Will be
enormous, about 250 acres being de-
voted to the plants. For many years
the users of these peppers depended
wholly upon Mexico for their supply.
Chilli peppers, both in the pods and
ground are now shipped by the Walk
ers to all parts of the United States
and Canada Another crop. probably
of corn, will also be grown this year
upon the land that is now devoted to
chilli peppers.

POULTRY DEPARTMENT
Some of the Poultry Leaks and How to Stop Them
By PasOan for Pasoans
By an e. PasOan for e PasOans.

IN EVERY line of business there is
leakage and the men who sue
coed are those who. are constantly
on the alert to stop waste from this
source. In the poultry business leaks
are more numerous than in any other
and break out in the more unexpected
places.
TIE earliest leak is found at the
very commencement of the engage
ment in incubating the eggs. At this
season in Ell Paso every egg you sit
is worth on the market about cents,
and when you permit your Latch to run
down to 40 or so percent, you have SUI
tanned a loss which win cut your prof
its for the year materially More
than that, when a low percentage OF
fertile eggs is Matched it is a certainly
that the little fellows who do emerge
from the shen are poorly Matched, and
but a small percentage of them are
HVable chicks and your losses among
them will be heavy and the effects OF
the poor incubation will be seen even
in the imperfect maturity of those you
succeed in raising. Better look care
fully to your incubation and stop the
little rat hole before it develops into
a mighty creVasse.
Another leak in the poultry business
is in permitting the males and females
of young stock to run together. This
leak is not apparent to a casual OBJ
server, but neither sex develops as rap
idly or fully when on a common range
as when separated as soon as the sex
can be determined. Pullets chased all
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-07-13

is largely profit so to get the most
from flock of poultry they must be
kept to the very highest point of eff
cheney and this can not be done if they
are fed at irregular intervals and in
varying quantities and given fresh
fresh water today and staSnant water
tomorrow They must have good fresh
water all the time and a variety of the
best feed every day To ignore these
requirements Is TO permit a leak which
viii waste much of your profits
Another very common leak in the
business is in falling to market cock
erels as soon as they are of marketable
size. As a rule an early Matched cock
erel viii bring more money when of
two pounds weight than If kept until
he weighs four pounds, so it can be
readily seen that it is a great waste
of profit to keep them after they have
attained a good fryer size. OF course,
some must be saved for breeders and
as fl is impossible to tell at a very
early age which are best, many more
will. have to be held over than needed.
and yet a large majority of the flock
can be culled and sold when 10 or L
weeks old, and a great leak stopped.
Another great waste is lice, mites,
fleas and 'dObe bugs. POultrymen, and
particularly amateurs are every where
wanting TO knox how to get rid OF
these pests The question should be
not how to get rid of them, but how
TO keep rid OF them. If you are to be
always getting rid of them you had
better sell out and quit the business,
for your balance at the end of the year
will certainly be on the wrong side Of
the ledger.
Another leak is from incorrect atten-
ton to brOoding hens AS soon as
hen becomes broOdy steps should be
taken to break her up. Every days
delay means more than a days loss OF
time from egg production Place her
in a coop Slated on all four sides and
suspended in a shady place and keep
her there three or four days. During
this time she should have an abundance
of feed and water that her physical
condition Will be such that she can re-
sumo laying with as little loss of time
as possible. When she is removed from
the coop let it be at night when she
should be placed on the roOst with 9TH
er poultry
In all flOcks Of poultry there viii be
found some poor layers These are a
great waste. Find out which they are
and Gull them out. As a rule better
keep no hen which has spent two years
of her life laying eggs. Her season
of proficiency is probably ended.
Much waste is also sustained and
more especially in this climate from
the drying out effects of our winds and
365 days annually Of sunshine Better
provide plenty of shade and wind
breaks and stop this leak

UNEARTHING GANG OF
CHINESE SMUGGLERS
Prominent Coast Merchants
Implicated; Doing Land
Office Business.

San Francisco, Calf, July 13.-As
the result of Investigations conducted
here and at Los Angeles United States
custom officials believe they have
learned the identity of men who for
years have been smuggling thousands
Of contra band Chinese into the United
States, The probe is being conducted
under the supervision of United States
commissioner Krun and is supple
mented by a written confession made
by Billy Gerald, at Los Angeles.
The federal authorities say a promi-
nent merchant Of San Francisco is inn
plicated, and that they expect to place
him under arrest within a few days.
Two Chinese of Oakland. who are said
to have been agents of the smugglers,
are in the federal prison and it was
at their hearing that important new
facts in the investigation were brought
to light Merchants of Los Angeles
and san Diego also are implicated, it
is said.
Federal officials have believed for
the last year that Chinese We're being
brought in by a well organized con-
spiracy. 1t is said 1000 Chinese have
been brought in a year.

Seattle, Wash. July 13.-After a

United States district Judge Cornelius

the committee placed in the record a
copy of a letter written BY Judge Han

recommended that the Judge appoint a
certain man TO office. The letter saws,
your letter of October 10. together
with a petition for the appointment of
Mr. Weppler to be United States court
commissioner at MeAlurray has been

Other witnesses testified as to the
drinking habits of Judge Hanford. One
witness told that he had won a wager

that he had been threatened with bust

day by a bunch Of vicious cookerels
and spending their time when not on
the run in hiding can not be expected
to develop into well rounded egg ma
chimes any more than we could expect
a blooded heifer to develop into an
eight gallon COW if she were kept on
the run all of her early life evading q
bunch of hungry wolves. You can not
develop a racing quality and a prOduc-
tive quality in the same bird. Then
again the association of the sexes is as
lets. In the presence of pul1ets a bunch
of cockerels is in a state Of perpetual
excitement and commotiOn, while If
kept to themselves away from the
opposite sex, even a flock of pit game
stays viii live together in peace and
harmony indefinitely. Commingle the
sexes, however, and breeder of pit
games would hardly raise enough
males to keep up the stock. This leak
would be a big hole to him, and the
same, though in less degree with other
breeds OF chickens
Require Close attention.
Another leak Is from neglect and
irregulartty OF attention. In the Mis-
souri, egg contest when last heard
from a hen had laid Ga eggs in 81 sue
cessive days and was still laying To
have had the very closest of attention.
Any irregularity a all in the feeding
or watering of her would have reduced
her egg yield materially and the profit
to be derived from her prOpOrtiOnately.

eggs d year to pay for her keep, and
after that every egg produced by her
