AN INGENIOUS COOLIE.
How He Helped the Doctors During a
Cholera Epidemic.

Cholera Epidemic.
In life and death battle with a
cholera epidemic in Human province,
China, in which an American medical
missionary was the leading figure, one
of the most serious difficulties was met
successfully by one of the mental hos
pital coolies.
Since every patient had to have from
one pint to several quarts of distilled
water with salt in it. the water could
not be distilled fast enough. For two
days the staff struggled along with
makeshifts while thinking up plan to
build a still for little money without
the loss Of time. This coolie solved
the problem. In one day and at cost
of less than So he built a still which
later produced twenty gallons of dis
titled water every twenty-four hours.
The still was simplicity itself. For
cooking food the Chinese use large,
fiat. saucer-like pans made of iron.
With one of these above and another
below the coolie made a drum of gal
vanized iron with hole in the side for
a trough. Into the lower pan hot wa
ter for boiling was poured. Under
meath. a hot fire sent up a constant
steam vapor. The upper kettle was
kept cool by frequent changings of cold
water. The vapOr from the lower ket-
tie. condensed on the lower surface of
the cool upper kettle. dripped off into
the trough, and filled bottle after bot.
tie with distilled water.-World's Work

WHERE is ORLEANS COUNTY?

A few weeks ago the Monitor COM
mented in these columns about the
agricultural status of Orleans county,
cleaning much of it's information from
the report of State Agricultural Com
missioner Brigham.
This week the Monitor would like to
call attention to some phases of the
report wherein Orleans county appears
to be behind the other counties of Yer
mont. The first item that attracts our
attention is in State Forester Hawes's
report. 1t shows that Orleans county
planted only 500 trees from the state
nursery in 1913. S. r. Lathe of
Craftsbury did this work. Essex coun-
ty planted four times as many, or 1000,
and the next smallest planting was in
Chittenden county and the number was
1900 Why is not Orleans county
planting more trees from the state
nursery?
The next matter attracting our at
tention is in the report of the Vermont
Dairvman's association of which J. G.
TurnbulI of Orleans is president and
M. A. Adams of Derby. treasurer.
Orleans county thus has two out of the
six officers of the association but when
it comes to life members of the organ
ization this county musters only IL
members out of total of $50 and five
annual members out of a total of about
It's. And a liberal number of these
Orleans county members are not farm
ers. In 100 butter exhibits only two
were from Orleans county and both of
these were in the creamery class.
There were no dairy exhibits from our
farmers. Why don't the farmers of
Orleans county awaken to their oppor-
tunity and gain membership in this
association?
In the report of the Vermont Sugar
Makers association we notice list OF
about 140 members and ten of this
number are from Orleans county. This
is little better We also note thai
two of the 81 prizes awarded for maple
goods came to Orleans county-to A
and N. H. Salmon, both of Wes
Glover. This is fine But the Monitor
believes the sugar makers ASSOCIATION
should number many more Orlean:
county men among it's members.
Great benefits are to be derived from
organization and of all classes of pro
ducers the farmer needs to organize

The more the Monitor thinks the
matter over the more Disguised it is
with the talk of certain men and papers
about the need of a large standing
army, much greater navy, and
increased offensive and defensive war
preparations. If the present army and
navy has net sufficient supplies to make
it efficient let us increase our supply
of necessities to make it efficient under
actual use, and presumably reasona-
Bile increase in our navy and harbor

THE WHITE FARM.
1t Deserved Its Name, and 1t Cheaply
Advertised Itself.

1t Deserved Its Name, and 1t Cheaply
Advertised Itself.
During vacation spent in the north
we were driven through a most pros
porous country. lined with beautiful
farmhouses
Among others we passed a white
farm. The house was white, the barns
were white. the fences were white
Milk white cows were grazing in the
fields, and snow white chickens were
running upon the lawn. A huge white
dog lay upon the grass. and a white
horse. with white harness and white
carriage, was hitched to a white post
by white strap. The white graveled
drive was bordered with white rocks
A white fountain threw up a white
spray, while white ducks f1oated upon
the water beneath.
Just as we drove by lady dressed
in pure white. with white shoes, step
ped out of the door and seated herself
In white hammock.
The whole effect was most striking
and was an excellent example of adj
vertisement without expense. The cost
would have been the same If no atten-
ton had been paid to one color There
was no need of giving a name to that
farm. 1t is known as the White farm
for miles around and is one Of the
show places of the district.
The same idea. of course. could be
carried out with other shades.-Pro-

STATE NEWS.
Unique Operation a Success.

Mrs. Anna Pritchard of South
Poultney is making complete recov-
cry from a most unusual surgical
operation. She has been i'll for over q
year with tuberculosis of the lower
jaw. the disease causing the jaw to
entirely rot away. About seven
weeks ago she was taken to the
Presbyterian hospital in New York.
The surgeons removed the diseased
flesh and bone and made new jaw by
grating on piece of rib bone which
they took from the woman's side. Re-
covery is naturally slow but healthy
growth has begun AMI the surgeons
are very optimistic as to final results.
To Irrisate Charlotte Apple OrchA ard.
G. T. Holmes, who owns the noted
100-acre apple orchard in Charlotte,
has just purchased of Fairbanks,
Morse & company of New York, a 40
horse power engine. with duplex pump
with pumping capacity of 900 gallons a
minute. to DE used in furnishing water
to irrigate his orchard The orchard
lies on the shore of Lake Champlain
and the water will be pumped from the
lake. Mr.. Holmes will lay about 1000
feet of pipe with an eight-inch main
and laterals running from to six to two
and one-half inches. The outfit is to
be installed and ready for use on the
first of June, 1915, and will be used to
irrigate 80 acres of the orchard next
year. Mr.. Holmes was the first
orchardist located in Vermont to
advocate and successfully put into
effect the spraying and cultivation Of
an orchard and is now the pioneer of
New England in installing an irriga-
ton plant on such large scale. The
enterprise will be watched with a
