Have the meat cut an inch or more
in thickness. Place it on the rolling
board and cover it with CUP or two
OF -four in which you have placed your
seasoning ingredients. With the edge
of plate pound the -four into the
meat You will find that you can
force two ordinary cupfuls into cou-
pie pounds Of meat without difficulty.
Treat both sides OF the cut alike.
Leave Il then for an hour. When the
meat refuses to take more nour, piece
1t in a heavy covered skillet and Just
cover with water. Let 1t cook for two
hours over a slow, simmering fire,
and when you serve it you will have
something that will almost literally
melt in your mouth. The -four, meat
juices ant water form thick gravy
that is not the last delicious part o.
the dish.

Cooper's hawk, which occurs
throughout the United States, Is pre-
eminently a chicken hawk" and is
by far the most destructive species we
have to contend with, not because II
is individually worse than the COS
hawk, but because 1t is SO much moro
numerous than the aggregate damage
done far exceeds that of all other
birds of prey.
1t is strong enough to carry away
a good-sized chicken, grouse, or cot
tontail rabbit. 1t is especially fond OF
domesticated doves and when 1t finds
a cote easy of approach, 1t usually
takes a toll of one or two day, Prac'

Colebrook, n. H.-Thomas H. Van

5000 acres OF timber land across the

By this purchase 1t is estimated
that the aggregate land holding of
Mr. VanDyke are now more than 600,-
900 acres in the United States and
Canada He owns more territory
than any other individual in New
England or the vast Canadian Prov
ince just over the line.
His possessions will yield az least
100000 cords OF pulpwood. which
will operate out" at $3.50 per cord

A branch Of the Grand Trunk Pa
cific will shortly pierce the wilder
ness which Mr.. VanDyke's lumber
jacks are now preparing 10 invade,
and a conservative estimate places
the probable yield of his latest 3ur-
chase at 100000 cords of pulpwood.
Mr.. VanDyke was born in Hereford
61 years ago, but his business inter

BOSTON & maine IN
BAD CONDITION
President Elliott of New Haven
Speaks Before Dry Goods
Association.

Boston-Chairman Howard Elliott
told the members OF the New ing
land Dry Goods Association at their
monthly meeting and banquet that the
affairs OF the Boston and Maine rail-
road are in very distressing condi-
tion, and urged that the proposed in
crease in freight rates be allowed as
the only means outside OF borrowing
money of rehabilitating the railroad.
Chairman Elliott devoted his entire
time to the affairs Of the Boston and
Maine. He said: You gentlemen
have 10 watch very closely how you
pay out every dollar you take in so
that there will be something left as
a reward for your services. II is the
same with a railroad.
Unless the railroad has something
left after paying its operating expen-
ses il is "a failure. / am Sorry to say
that such is the condition OF the Bos-
ton and Maine.
"The year ending June 80. 1913,
wasn't bad year. yet the Boston and
Maine, after paying its operating ex-
penses, taxes and other obligations,
had but s49,700 left for S6i9 stock
holders. The net revenues OF the road
for the four months ending Oct 80 OF
this year showed a decrease OF ST.
'2o1, 1929, compared with the revenues
OF the corresponding period of the
year before.
"a railroad like the Boston and
Maine should spend from slO,OOO,OOO
TO $4,000, 900 every year for improve
and all Northern New England want
1t to be.
There is one way in which the peo-
pie can help and that is by realizing
that there are no more cents In a
railroads dollar than there are in
any other dollar. OF course you want
good service and in consequence
money has TO be obtained somewhere.
The railroad can't keep on borrowing
money indefinitely. Last year the
Boston and Maine and Maine Central
railroads hauled 3S,000,000 tons Of
freight. IT, the companies had receiv-
ed only 10 cents more ton II would
have meant an increase in revenues
of s3,S00, 900, which would have been
quite help in sustaining the rail
roads credit
eff the company cannot produce the
kind of service you want at the pres
ent unit price, isn't it TO your interest
that there should be some increase?
Some say that the road is over
capitalized You couldn't produce the
Boston and Maine today at the par
value of its capitalization. or. in fact,
any of the great trunk lines that run
into New York"
