their income suffers through the curtail-
ment Of shipments. Therefore, they are
actuated by mere self-interest, II by no
nobler sentiment, to handle chick ship
ments with utmost care. In fact, the ex-
press companies have issued instructions
to their employees to pay particular at
tention to all livestock while en- route, and
these seem to be very generally obeyed.
There is further proof that the practice
Is neither cruel nor inhuman. One large
shipper recently stated to me that the
backbone of his business Is repeat orders
from his customers. Certainly, few poul-
trymen would continue to patronize the
same man year after year If the chicks
did not give satisfaction. And, obviously,
if the little fellows suffered severely dur
ing shipment, they would not be satisfac-
tory, because such a large proportion of
them would die during the brooding
period. A baby chick cannot stand much
grief" and make good later.
Few Chicks Lost in Transit.
The low percentage of dead chicks re-
ceived by purchasers also indicates care
full handling. The man referred to above
guarantees that each customer shall re-
ceive as many live chicks as he pays for,
replacing the dead ones without charge.
and this is the usual custom. The loss
from this source does not exceed 2 per
cent during the entire season, and one
could easily believe that a similar loss
would be had in large numbers of chicks
transferred directly from the incubator to
the broOder.
OF late | have received many letters
from poultry keepers, inquiring about the
quality of the stock one may expect to
receive from dealers in baby chicks. Such
inquiries cannot be fairly answered in a
single word, good" or poor 1t de-
ponds upon ME source from which the
chicks are secured. The same Is true of
breeding stock and eggs for Matching. AS
a rule, one gets about what he pays for
when he deals with reliable concerns.
Strong Breeding Stock Required.
But in the baby chick business the ele-
ment of self-interest compels the produc-
er to pay particular attention to the quail
ity of the breeding stock from which he
secures the eggs for Matching. Fresh eggs
have a definite market value, and the
cost of a given number Of chicks Is deter
mined by the cost OF the eggs required
to produce them, plus the labor charge.
At current prices of chicks, good matches
must be the rule, or no profit can be OBJ
tanned from the sale of chicks.
In view of the above, the dealer Is
greatly interested in having flocks OF
breeding birds which are healthy, strong
and vigorous, as eggs from such sources
give largest matches of strong chicks.
There Is another point. The profess

sional incubator operator equips his es-
Enlistment with the best incubators and
learns, through extended experience, how
best to operate them. He must do this in
order to insure a reasonable income; and
this means that his chicks are well
Matched.
One might cite individual cases where
purchased baby chicks have been most
unsatisfactory in quality; where ship
ments have arrived in deplorable condi-
ton. But these are not sufficient war
rant for the wholesale condemnation Of
a business which, on the whole, is con-
Quoted squarely and clearly. The baby
chick industry is here to stay, but it
could not last long If the adverse state
ments made about 1t were true in any
great degree.
The poultryman who needs few or
many chicks on definite dates, who wishes
to count his chicks before they are
hatched," will find 1t most convenient to
purchase them ready made" Speaking

Celluloid from Skinned Milk.

Thrifty housewives have devoted much
time and thought to the economy Of
SKINNED milk. Some of them have FED
it to their families, some to the chickens
and pigs, but none OF them has willingly
thrown It away.
Now that the war has interfered with
the importation of chemicals used in the
making of celluloid, there comes a crafty
inventor and asks everybody to save all
the skinned milk. He used the skim
med milk to make films for the movies,
coat buttons, collar buttons, piano keys
and French ivory toilet articles.
The successful skimmed-milk film has
already been exhibited in Chicago.

Her Cup of Coffee Runs Away.

NEW YORK-A woman entered one
of New York's automatic lunch rooms
appearing much pre%occupied. After chang
ing a dime for two nickels she put one
of them in the slot marked sandwiches
and the other in the hot coffee slot.
She turned the crank, as per direc-
tons, and then gave a series Of panic
stricken staccato shrieks of ooh, oh, oh!
look" The other auto-eaters turned
in time to see that she had forgotten to
put a cup under the faucet, hence the
dismay. All of the brownish liquid had
filtered down into the drain.

A LARGE CONTRACT.
What Wilfred F. Root Wants Every
Person in Brattleboro to do,

When Wilfred F. Root, the enter
prising druggist, first offered a 80 cent
package of DR.. Howard s specific for
the cure of constipation and dyspepsia
at half price, and guaranteed to return
the money if it did not cure, he thought
it probable from his experience with
other medicines for these diseases, that
he would have q good many packages
returned. But although he has sold
hundreds of bottles, not one has been
brought back.
Mr.. Root wants every person in Brat,
tleboro who has constipation, dyspep-
STA, headaches, or liver trouble TO come
to his store or send Mr.. Root % cents
by mail and get go doses of the best
medicine ever made at half the regular
price, with his personal guarantee to re
| fund the money if it does not cure.

HINESBURG BOYS
GUN WOUND FATAL
John G. Harris, 16, Accidentally Dis
charged the Rife Which He Was
Cleaning.

I BURLINGTON, Nov. 18.-The first
fatality connected with the 1915 deer
season of Vermont was the death of
John G. Harris Of Hinesburg at the
Fanny Allen hospital late yesterday
afternoon. The young man lived sever
al hours after bullet from his own ri
fle had penetrated his body. Harris was
shot at the residence of his sister in
Hinesburg.
He had obtained a hunting license
and was soon to go after deer. His first
act was to take his rifle into the kitch-
en- to clean it and while thus engaged
the muzZle was pointed directly at his
body, the young man being unaware of
the presence of cartridge in the maya
| zine. The members of the household
were suddenly startled at hearing a re
| port and rushed to the kitchen to find
the young man horribly wounded lying
on the floor, the smoking rifle near him
| DR.. E. A, Burdick was summoned and
| he Immediately rushed the boy in an
automobile to the hospital. Harris was
/ beyond medical aid, however, as the
| bullet had entered his right side near
the liver and the hemorrhage could not
| be checked. He lived about four hours
| The victim was only 16 years old. Ii,
was the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman
Harris and one of q large family o.
children.

PLAN FOR PRIMARY j.
.".. HIT BY POMERENE
Decision Of Chairman Of Senate
Subcommittee Is Amend
ment Is Necessary.

Final admission that enactment of a
Presidential primary law will need a
constitutional amendment has clarified
the political situation so far as next
falls campaign Is concerned. Western
Senators and congressman. without re-
gard to party, were on record as plan
ing to force such a law through Con-
gress soon after 1T assembled next De-
cember. This would have made 1t in
cumbent to hold primaries in the spring
and would have meant two real cleo
tions In 1916. 1t would also have meant
abolishment OF the June and July nomi-
mating conventions, making them
simply ratification bodies.
President Wilson is expected to bow
to the will of the legal experts r'ho
have decided against the measure. SEN
ator Pomerene, of Ohio, who is chair
man of the Senate subcommittee
furnished the President a copy of his
conclusions which showed that such
legislation would be unconstitutional. 1t
Is understood that the President admit
ted that the report was conclusive and
that a constitutional amendment will
be sought which will permit Presiden-
tial primaries. But It cannot be adopt
ed In time to interfere with next fall $
campaign and election.
There will. of course. be state Presi"
Dental primaries in the States which
provide for them, but they will be eX-
clusively State affairs and will not be
uniform. But It Is expected that, so
far as the Republicans are concerned,
with the representation from the South
materially reduced, the State primaries
will give a line on whether there Is to
be an amalgamation of the Repuplican
and Progressive parties.

Guarding Trade
National Association Of Manufac-
turers Pledges Support In
Unfolding His Course.

Warm commentator Of the Admnis-
istration's course In handling the stu
alton regarding American commerce In
the European war zone was expressed
In letter received yesterday by Presi
dent Wilson from George Pope, presi-
dent of the National Association OF
Manufacturers.
TIE communication. made public at the
White House, reads as follows:
AS president of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers, the largest
national body of manufacturers in the
United States, / feel called upon TO ex-
press to you my appreciation of your
prompt action and firm attitude with
respect TO the various orders by the
belligerent governments In Europe
which affect all neutral commerce and
particularly that of this country.
"All manufacturers are directly or in
directly suffering from the effect of this
lamentable war and many of them
would sustain still more business losses
should they be prevented from securing
necessary supplies from abroad through
the enforcement of the severe measures
with respect to commerce recently an
nourced by belligerent governments.
"I, therefore, wish to assure you of
the sympathy and steady support of
this association in your energetic efforts
to protect the rights OF this country as
a neutral nation In holding the bel
ligerents on both sides to a strict ac-
countability for their actions under q
just Interpretation of international
law"
