ANNUAL WOOD WASTE.
Estimated at 36,OOO,OOO Cords or A,
5OOOOO.OOO Cnbis Feet.

There are more than $4,000 sawmills
in the United States, ami their output
of waste in the form of sawdust,
shavings, slabs, and other wood refuse
is estimated at 3G,O0O,OOO cords per
year. This is equal to over 4,5OO,OOO-
600 cubic feet of waste, which is the
capacity of bin one-half mile high
with base covering a 40-acre lot. Or,
considering each cord to contain so
cubic feet of solid wood with all the
cracks and air spaces taken out, these
36,000,000 cords would make a bloc k
of wood more than a quarter of mile
on each edge.
Perhaps one half of this so-callcd
waste product is not strictly speaking
wasted, but serves a useful purpose as
fuel under the boilers. Much of the
remaining 100000 cords not only
serves no useful purpose, but in most
cases is a source of Inconvenience and
danger, and costs the mill time and
money.
Sawmill waste is disposed of in var,
ious ways Some goes to the locaI
fuel market, some to pulp mills or to
wood distillation plants. Shaving,
and hog cuttings, as well as other mil
NdSlt, are sometimes NStl TO HI lON
places in the yard. However the most
common method of getting rid of waste
is by burning either in fre-pit hav,
ing an open fire which sometimes has
a protecting wall ON the side toward
the mill, or III burner enclosed ON
all sides and having a spark arrcsting
screen at the top and fire CRATE near
the bottom. In both cases some kind
of convcyor is necessary to bear the
waste from the mill to the fire. This
is usually a sort of trough with a
metal bottom along which a slowly
moving chain or cable, equipped with
cleats or buckets, carries the waste to
the fire.
A closed burner and conveyor costs
about 49, 900 for a mill of 100000
feet daily capacity. Forty per cent
of the larger mills, cutting more than
$4,000 board feet daily, are equipped
with closed burners. Forty-fvc per
cent have fre-pits. The remainder
have neither and dispose of their
waste in some other way.

War Horses We Have Sold.

Nearly 100000 horses and mules
have been purchased in the United
States for foreign account since Sept.
|, 1914. While this number is but Il
small percentage of America S aorsc
and mule stock, the business has new
crthclcss been tremendous one.
twenty-five horses make up an aver
age freight or express load. That
means that $4,000 carloads have been
shipped from the country to the coast,
taking no account of short local ship
ments. These horses have Travelled no
less than an average of 1000 miles
each. The $4,000 cars earned for the
railroad and express companies $1,000,
900.
1t was lucky horse that voyaged
from farm TO steamboat in less than
Is days. Six million dollars for feed
in stables, markets, stOc kNNrds and
concentration camps is n low estimate
of the cost Turned out in pens such
as are used at our Chicago tockyards,
the horses would require for com
Portable housing 1880 pens. With the
necessary alleys, feed barns, hay sheds,
and railroad facilities, these pens
would cover ground floor area II
mile in width by miles in length-a
space twice as large as the Union
Stock Yard of Chicago, which accom-
modates 100000 animals of different
sizes.

limits TO Grand Island, Ncb. In march
ing order, close formation, the 300,-
600 cavalry and $500 full batteries of
$50 horses each, would reach from Chi
cago to Boston.

horses as have gone, but we should

PINE TREE STATE.
The Largo Area Set Of by Massa
chusetts Formed Maine.

In 1878 the state of Massachusetts set
oil about $4,000 square miles heretofore
included in what was District of Maine. ."
In 1870 the area was made to become
state of Maine 1t was sometimes called
Pine Tree State"
Because it has always been the fashion
with mankind to grab and hold all land
that is lying around loose to fight for its
retention, and to fight for more, it would
he interesting to know how Massachusetts,
happened to decide to get along with
around 5000 and to dump around $4,000
square miles. Can area more than treble
that of Belgium and around 5000 square
miles greater than the area of Bavaria)
If the idea was to dump the burden of
maintenance and operation of the $1,000
square miles onto us down casters" and
to scoop the benefits, it was not a bad
guess, if only results of the past are taken
into account. We conceive that it is quite
another matter in light of the present sit
uation and prospects.
1t is well enough to here mention that,
in 1872, on recommendation of the then
leading citizen of Massachusetts, Daniel
Webster-about onc-scvcnth of the $4,000
square mlcs-an area in excess of that of
connecticut and nearly live times that OF
Rhode lsland-was appropriated by the
federal government and ccdcd TO the pco-
pie of Canada. What if any, advantage
accrued to Massachusetts from the ccsson
we don't know. The disadvantages and
the probable losses to Maine have been
many and severe Without question it
was made clear to Webster by representa-
tive Maine citizens that they would be.
"But," wrote he, "thc interest of Massa-
chusctts is not to be overlooked An inn
portant interest of Maine was over

of the 500 square miles north of the River

FARMERS CONVINCED.
Pleased With the Results of Topdress
ing Grass Land with Chemicals.

In 1913, eleven top dressing demon
STATIONS were made by Orleans county
farmers i'll cooperation with the coun-
ty agricultural agent. In some eases
the fortified plot yielded four tons to
the acre while the unfcrtilzed portion
from the same field yielded but two
tons per acre. The extra hay cost the
farmers from $3.50 to $500 per ton.
Nitrate of soda, acid phosphate, muri.
ate of potash and Peruvian guano were
used in the mixture which cost the
farmers 1862 per ton. The amount
applied varied from 200 to 800 pounds
per acre.
Many farmers saw the results and
were convinced. Much more topdress
ing than usual was done in Orleans
county this year and a large per cent
of the chemicals ordered through the
Orleans County Farmers exchang,
were secured for this purpose.
Not all of the farmers knew of the
results in 1915 and not all farmers
could be convinced in one year so |:
topdrcssing demonstrations are being
conducted this year under supervision
of the county agent. Mr.. Deuel. ex
poets them to be some of his very best
demonstrations and feels that every
farmer should see at least one They
will be given in the following towns
Albany, Irasburg, Barton, Newport
Craftsbury, Bloomington, Greensbor,
and Glover.
On account of the unusual fcrtilize
situation this year, q mixture diffcrin.
II little from that of last year wa
used which cost the farmers $3.50 pc
ton. The best way to know how mIcl
good is derived from county agen
work is to see some of the dcmonstra
tions and see how many farmers arr

WHERE THE PROFIT IS.
A Little Extra Effort Adds velvet
After Expenses Are Paid.

Did you ever stop to think that if
crop only pays expenses, the grower
is actually losing money? Does it seem
far-fetched to say that, tIe loss of an
opportunity to make money is the
same as the loss of the money itself?
That is really what occurs in most
cases whore crop only pays eXpen-
SEES. Nearly always, just little more
effort, or a slight difference in methods
would add little more to the result
produced, and this addition would be
all profit.
The profit all comes after the ex-
penses are paid, and it is right there
tlat extra effort pays. If the man
with neglected orchard sells just
enough fruit to pay for the use of the
land and what little labor he eXpends
upon it, and that is usually about what
such orchards produce, then every eX-
ira bushel he can add to the produc-
ton, and every dollar of added quality
is pure gain. You cannot make a pro-
fit until the expenses are paid, but
every cent of increase after tlat point
is reached is "velVet.'
The real facts are that the only
chance for profit lies in the extra
effort, which is usually not put forth.
We work hard "to make ends meet, y
but the thing to do is make the ends
pass, not meet. Every fellow who
manages to live, and that includes
most of us, contrivcs to "make ends
meet but the man WAC accumulates
II surplus is the fellow who goes a lit
tie further. Don be content to exist
even II worm exists. The man who
is content to make living never
makes more.

How to Attract the Birds.

In the Woman 5 Home Companion
Franz Richler gives direction as to
building houses that birds will nest in
and how to secure garden that birds
will come to.
"a good many species. to be sure,
build their own nests to suit them
selves. They choose their own quar-
tiers, and will have nothing to do with
all those cute little houses and nesting
boxes which we put up so insinuatingly
about the gardcn-always in places
where we can watch what is going on!
But the Martins and the swallows,
the wrcns and the blucbirds, the chica-
decs. and even the nickcrs and the
screcch owls can sometimes be enticed
to adopt our human-made tenements.
Indeed, some Of them, like the martins,
seem to be peculiarly happy with the
provisions which we offer. There is
no end of fun making these bird
houses. They should always have n
projecting roof to keep out the rain,
and the front door should be high off
the floor.
Mr. Bieher also reminds all bird
lovers that water is an essential to any
bird garden and tells how it should
be used to the best advantage.

HELP OUR SOLDIERS.

The Soldiers Aid society at an
expense of 1925 has sent pajamas
to all Of the soldiers of Company /,
those at Eagle Pass, Texas, and the
smaller contingent in camp near
Fort Ethan Allen. The society has
received contributions of $50. This
leaves an Indebtedness of 500 that
must be met Immediately. Now is
the time for people who have given
nothing to help our soldiers to come
forward and show their interest and
patriotism. 1t is a small thing to
pay out n little cold cash compared
to the sacrifice which our boys arc
making at their country's call to SER
vice. Small contributions, no mat
ter how small-wll be received
thankfully. 1t is the spirit that
counts, not the size of the payment.
Money will gladly be received by
Mrs. J. j. Estey, Mrs. w. +. Root or
Mrs. G. c. Fits.

In addressing the senate recently
Senator Smoot of Utah said: "Tho
American garbage can is the latest in
all the world. He took the groun,
that military readiness is not the sole

America is paying n quarter of "A mil

besides what we thus throw away, the

THE VILLAGE GOSSIP.
Contribution in The Vermonter by DR..
E. L. Tracy of Brattleboro Retreat.

DIR. Il. l.. Tracy of the Brattleboro
Retreat staff is the author of the fol.
lowing poem entitled The Village Cos
sip, i'll the current issue of The Yer
monter, the state magazines:
Saturday night, Uriah Tubbs
Called upon Miss Martha Stubs,
a maiden lady, of age unknown,
who lived by herself, i'll place all her
own;
A simple old-maid, from q simple clan,
She never d had one, but she wanted
man.
Uriah Tubbs--of course you know,
His fourth wife died just a month ago
Owns the house on the top of the hill,
Just beyond the old saw-mill
Tough-fistcd old skinhint, black as a
spade,
Why, he S got the first cent that ever
he made.
He drove into her yard, with his old
white mare,
Hollered "Whoa' three times and left
her there;
Walked up to the door with silly grin,
Then pushed it open and stepped with
in,
Removed his hat and took a chair,
Coughed loudly then, ,sneezed so she ID
know he was there.
Tried to look pleasant, but was nervous
as sin,
And, just at this moment, poor Martha
came in. fc
He rose up and gave her a deep, courtly
bow, =.
And stammered and suffered, "He
reckoned as how
He was driving by and had lots of time,
He d like to chat if she didn t mind -
He gave her one chocolate he ID bought
at the store,
And said that next time he would give
her one more.
"Now Marthy," said he, cit seems to
me,
That you and / could always agree.
"You own this house and you own this
land,
But what you need most is good,
honest man.
Think of the things in life you we
| missed,
Why, we hearn it said that you We
never Decn Kissed,
Nor squeezed and Rugged like most gals
are,
And this ain t right for a gal above par,
And don't you think that I'm any
preacher,
But d like to be your private teacher.
"I've had my eye on you for years,
And planned and schemed, and how it
pears
To me, the proper thing to do,
Is to hitch up as one instead of two.
l ii get the papers and III get the ring,
And make the arrangements with old
Parson Jim;
Then we drive right down, next

NEWS FROM BOYS ON BORDER
Lieut.. Spauding Says None Need Worry About Company
- Sanitation of the Best-Lieut. Miner Writes that
Part of Company Funds Provided Floors for Tents

With the exception of an order send
ing the first battalion of the Vermont
regiment on border duty about 80 miles
from the permanent camp of the rest
of the regiment at Eagle Pass, Texas,
nothing unusual has developed this
week with the Vermont boys now on
the border. An order transferring the
cavalry to the infantry, received at
Camp Governor Gates, has held up the
rockies at the camp and prevented
them getting away this week as they
expected to do. The transfer of the
cavalry means that Vermont will not
be represented by any mounted troops
except as members of the Norwich
troop will be detailed as mounted scouts
but it will have a full infantry regi-
ment with headquarters, supply and
machine gun companies as required by
the new army regulations.
