III mat the PaSSumpSIc company was
organized by the New England COM
pany originally for the purpose Of
suppressing competition i'll Orleans,
Caledonia and Essex counties.
we are further of the opinion that
the transactions above set forth We're
extravagant and i'll advised and re-
suited in placing financial burdens
upon the Passumpsic company which
are excessive and in order to meet
the same, rates are required which
are in excess of what would have
Oeen required if these transactions
lad not taken place.
The majority Of the present COM
mission cannot but feel that the au-
thoriZation of the stock issues for the
purposes for which they were used
should never have been permitted
but as the State has sanctioned these
ssues and the States sanction has
been acted upon, the majority can

mer action Of the State
At the present hearing, the COM
pany presented an inventory and
value of the inventoried property Of
the company with the unit costs de-
ormined upon by the commission is
shown in table two. The earnings
and expenses of the Passumpsic
| company appearing in table five when
applied to the commissions inven-
| tory value of the Passumpsic plant
and other assets show that the com
pany is $25, 6e2.47 short OF earning
per cent. upon said plant value
and other assets. The only other
! justification for the present rates OF
the Passumpsic company which the
commission can find, aside from the
former stamp of approval by the
State upon the transactions above
described, is that the Passumpsic
company gives a more extended ser
vice to it's subscribers than do othel
Vermont companies under similar
conditions.

Ooro d Glover property to the Citl-
zens Telephone Company, an 1ndepen-
dent company doing business in
Lamoille and Franklin Counties, for
ne sum OF S12, 1880. In Noyem-
Der, 1912, the Passumpsic Company
-~lchased Of the New England Com
pany certain circuits in Troy and
Newport for $1,436.12 and in April,
1913, bought of the Citizens Tele-
phone Company pay station line be-
tween Craftsbury-Albany town line
and Albany village for the sum of
$S1.87.
The commission has no data as to
he comparative number Of stations
in the Passumpsic company and in
e Vermont Peoples company at
Newport and vicinity before and sub
sequent to the purchase of the plant
the Vermont Peoples company.
I've Citizens exchange had 977 sta
lions at st. Johnsbury in 1911, be
ore the sale of it's plant to the Pas
sumpsic company, and the Passump-
sic company had 1,044 stations in st.
'Onnsbury at that time. On June
30, 1918, the Passumpsic company
had 1,436 stations in st. Johnsbury,
4 decrease of nearly 900 stations in
ST. Johnsbury as a result of the con-
5olidatiOn of the companies and ad-
vance in rates. A considerable por-
ton Of the property purchased by
the Passumpsic company as above set
forth, was a duplication of Passump-
sic plant and after the purchase was
removed by the Passumpsic company
and part sold for junk or scrapped,
and the remainder placed in the Pas
sumpsic company's stock supply.
The capital stock of the Vermont
Peoples company at the time of the
sale was $47,840, and a dividend of
S14O.5O share was paid as a result
of the sale. The capital stock of
the Citizens company at the time of
he sale was $50. 1000, the entire cost
# the plant was S45, 615.4O and the
company had a surplus of $S,314.79.
During the year 1911, and after
Ne purchase of the Vermont Peo-
nles company, the Passumpsic COM
pany expended S11,675.S3 in build
ing additional plant, and in 1912

mission believe that if the financing
above described had not taken place
multi-party residence rate by the Pas
sumpsic company of more than $15.-
90 would not have been necessary
or warranted.
The comparison with the multi
party residence rates Of the indie
pendent companies shown in table
one confirms the commission in this
opinion. These independent COM
panies furnish in all instances ser
vice which is equal to, and in many
Instances superior, with the excep-
on Of ST. Johnsbury service, to that
Of the Passumpsic company. We are
Of the opinion that under all the
circumstances we are not warranted
in reducing the multi-party residence
exchange rate Of the other exchange
rates OF the Passumpsic company

Company VIII Appeal.

Vice President E. K. Hall Of the
New England Telephone and Tele-
graph company made the following
statement Of the position of that COM
pany relative to the order issued by
the majority of the public service
commission of Vermont:
Never before in the history Of the
New England Telephone and Tele-
graph company has it taken any ap-
peal from any order or recommended
ton by any commission, either state
Or federal. Circumstances surround
ing the present case, however, are
peculiar and the finding is one which
the company is unable to understand,
In view of the facts and the evidence
presented to the commission.
In justice to the telephOne-u using
public in the state of Vermont and the
other statSs where the company oper-
ates, as we'll as in justice to the COM
pany feel that it is their duty to ap-
peal from the decision Of the majority
Of the commission in this case, and
wish to state frankly why such an
action seems to be the only course
fairly open to them.

lows:
"While l have travelled over a great

near an earthly paradise as can be
found in the whole wide world, search
as far as you will. This country be-
gins about seven miles northeast of
Oakland, extending from five to ten
miles in a north and easterly direc-
ton. While there are thousands of
acres of fine land that is level or prac

WATER THE HORSES OFTENER
Quite Profitable to Give Animals
Liquid Refreshment Several
Times During the Day.

Some farmers find 1t quite profitable
and certainly humane to give their
horses a bucket of water several times
during the long mornings and after
moons of the summer. For this pur-
pose they arrange a barrel on a small
sled and each morning take it with
them to the field.
During the long mornings and after
moons it will be found to be profitable
to give the teams bucket of water.
The horses do not drink much at a
time, but they relish it and 1t stimu-
lates them and In no small measure
averts the dangers Of overheating.
Users of horses in cities know the
value Of watering often and they do
not pass a drinking place without Of
fering their horses water. These
teams are generally worked under
high pressure and under distressing
conditions. Yet with fair treatment
the horses stand up well and do a
great volume of work. In the dirt
and heat Of the g1at cities 1t is safe
to assume that IL the practise Of
watering only three times a day was
observed. much less work could be
done and many horses would fall vic
time to heat and overwork.

cost for their care by the labor which
they perform.
The practise on the part of the stall
lion owners In breeding mares and
giving a guarantee of living foals has
led some men to treat the brood mares
carelessly, knowing that IL any mares
failed to give birth to live foals, they
were not liable for the stallion fee.
Wholesome food, pure water, pure
air, sufficient exercise and care in
driving and handling are the essential
factors in the successful management
of in-foal mares.
They should be worked regularly to
insure exercise but their work should
be moderate and at no time such as
to endanger the lives of the unborn
offspring.
A ration consisting of oats, corn,
bran and mixed hay is highly salts
factory, the quantity of each being
governed by the condition of the mare
and labor performed. Constant care
and observation on the part OF the
teamster and the feeder greatly de-
creases the liability of accident.
The date of the birth of foals should
be governed by conditions surround

Mares may safely be worked to
within a week before the date of foal-

their offspring.
Moderate work insures exercise
which avoids many difficulties. Such

opportunity to recover strength and

Sour Skim Milk For Calves.

That in summer time calves do as
sweet will be interesting news to many
farmers who have hitherto been kept
from raising calves by the expense of
keeping the milk sweet in hot weather
This expense experiments carried out
by the department intricate to be quite
unnecessary. The calves will make as
rapid gains on sour skim milk. In win
ter, ii is true, this is not quite so salts
factory. IL chills the calves and some of
them drink it with great reluctance.
Very young calves have even been known
to refuse it altogether. On the o'her
hand, of course, it to much easier to keep
the milk sweet in winter.
In calling the attention of farmers to
these facts, however, the department at
the same time emphasizes an important
precaution. Unless the milk is produced
and kept under clearly conditions, it
may become contaminated with disease
producing bacteria. Farmers should
therefore allow the milk TO sour quickly
and then feed il without delay.
In the course of these experiments
sour skim milk was fed to % calves,
Holsteins, Jerseys, and Guernseys, at
different &c Isons of the year. In no case
old it cause digestive disturbances even
when the change from sweet 10 sour
milk was made abruptly when the calves
were only few days old. Moreover, no
evil results followed the alternate use of
sweet and sour. 1t seems, therefore,
that the common idea that sour milk
leads to scours is quite unfounded.
The calves, it was found, did not like
the sour milk as well as the sweet, but
in the majority of cases soon became &C
customed to it. The aversion, however.
increased when the milk was fed them
at a low temperature.
