One of the most prominent and

vania is Mr.. Lewis B. Sprecher,
Rohrerstown, Pa. He is a Director

nized as an authority on practical
poultry matters.
Last fall Mr.. Sprecher hatched
about 1900 chicks for use as broil-
ers and sold the latter to select
trade at 81 per pound. The secret
of his success is given in his own
words:

Six samples of cider" classed as
apple, sweet and grape. taken by agents
of Dairy and Food Commissioner James
Foust during March, were found to be
so charged with alcohol as to be rated
as Intoxicating" One alleged sweet
cider" contained 5.75 per cent of alcohol
by volume and another AT per cent
This latter also contained salicylic acid
These samples were taken in western

corn in the complaint of Kennedy
VS.. Trout Run Water Company. The
case, which involves water service
in Duncannon, was brought some
time ago. The company had charged
a fiat rate for the building, but when
it was learned that part of it had
been rented to a family and part
used as a store, an additional charge
was made, the corporation contend
ing that it had a right to SO charge
on the round that the building was
tenement.
The company is ordered to make
but one minimum charge where
there is but one meter and TO post
new rates. The effect of the de-
cision is that if it is planned to
charge according to rooms in a
building, there must be separate
meters for each charge account.
The Spring Hill Water Company,
operating in Point Marion, Fayette
county, was ordered to-day in a
Public Service Commission decision
by Commissioner James Alcorn to

borne by consumers and to discon-
tinue fiat rates for metered con-
sumers. The commissioner dis
misses complaints against the rea-
sonableness of the rates charged and
says that complaints about fire hy-
drants are not serious enough to
warrant action by the commission.
