(From the New York Times)

In one form or another the so-called
domestic animals have been exported in
tremendous quantity to Europe since the
alive In great number and the carcasses
of millions of cattle and other livestock
went the same way to feed the legions of
fighting men and the hungry civilians of
belligerent and neutral countries. Be-
fore the war, statements were issued
from time to time showing that food
animals were not increasing in propor-
ton to the Increase in population, and
that, as a result. the time was approach
ing when exports of meats would cease
Bearing this in mind, many have been
of the impression that the enormous ex-
ports of animals and meats have cut
materially into the amounts available in
this country. But the estimates lust
published by the department Of agricul-
ture effectually dispose of this notion.
AS compared with 1914. the number of
milch COWS in 1918 shows an increase
from 20. 1877. 900 to 49, 900; that of other
cattle from So, s55. 900 to A, 1893 900: that of
sheen from 49, $4,000 to 40. S63 600. and that
of swine from IS, 93S. 600 to Il, 5S7. 900. Even
the number OF horses and mules. despite
the large shipments abroad for the use
of tho various armies, shows a gain. or
the first named, the estimated number Is
p .534. 600. as compared with 2o.962. 600. and
of mules 4,925,OOO. as COMPARED with
| A 449 600 in 1914. Clearly, this country ia
by no means 30 near tho end of it's tether
! in these regards as some have believed.

BURLINGTON USED
MUCH WATER IN 1918
Daily Average Consumption of
1886 Gallons by Each Per-
son Sends Total Amount
Pumped During the Year up
to 473,S2S,000 Gallons =

Figures compiled by the water de-
consumption of $685. gallons for each
consumer in Burlington last year. The
pumping station sent up from Lake
Champlain during the year a total Of
crease of S1,765, 900 gallons over the
year previous. The reason wasn't be-
cause Burlington was no license dur
ing most Of the year, but largely be-
cause of two big fires. This is shown
by the statement that the month when
the most water was used was last
April, when the amount consumed went
beyond 100000 gallons, while in
July and August the amounts were
only about 40,0O0.000 October was
next to the largest month, when A.
$4,000 gallons were used.
There are at the present time in
burlington 3.945 meters and it is esti-
mated that all but 200 of the citys in
habitants are now connected with the
water service The system has grown
to considerable proportions. The cash
receipts from water rates last year
amounted to $64,090.29 and the receipts
| from material and labor We're $5,041.91
more making the total receipts $69.-
1920, an increase of s6,OS6 over the
| preceding year.
| The system now has 223 public hyd-
| rants in operation, in addition to AZ
private MIGRANTS, making a total of
266. Three new MIGRANTS were install
ed during the year. The biggest work
undertaken was the laying of a ~ inch
main down Pine street and Park
avenue to the Vermont Milk Chocolate
factory. Another main was laid for
1870 feet on University Place.
There are now being used in the
city about "a miles of service pipe and
about nine and quater miles of sup
ply pipe. There are about 43.46 miles
of water mains and all but a little
more than three miles of this is cast
iron. The remainder is cement. There
are 73S gates in the system.
| In order to conserve coal a
| 200 horse power turbine engine, OPP
Grated by electricity, was installed at
| the pumping station. At the time II
was installed it was expected that the
power could be purchased for one cent
| per kilowatt. Later developments
showed that the power would cost one
and one-half cents, but this is expected
to be remedied soon.
| On the high service there was a big
increase in the amount of water used
| This was due mainly to the fires at the
University and the large number of men
in training for the army there
| While 81 gallons per day sounds big
for water consumption, Burlington
ranks far down the line when compared
with other cities In Buffalo, N. Y.
the average daily consumption was
339 gallons last year. and in that city
a big campaign on the saving Of water
has been instituted. Chicago uses 226

hospital first.
This work went on until after the ar
mistice and then they were sent to Paris
where they received the order they want
ed most, to return to their original VIII
lagos. They found the villages in much
worse condition before and regardless OF
the fact that 1t was almost impossible to
get food there, many of the people had
returned to their homes, There the unit
found there was much to do and so now
they are living in tents and carrying on
their original program on a similar scale
as 1t Is much harder but they have the
consolation that their work now is per-
manent.
There are two things" said Miss Bliss,

wonderfully everybody works together
over there. There was, however one
thing l found when l returned that made
my blood boil and that was that the peo-
pie here are crticizing what the French,
and English particularly, did during the
war. While I am proud ! am an Amer-
can, / do not like that criticism and feel
! that unless we all pull together We will
| lose a lot.
THE other thing is my change Of view
toward death. l used to feel how wicked
1t was that SO many people were dying
almost before they began to live. l real
lie now that those men who died have
lived as much as anyone else but in a
much shorter time. ! used to think l be-

THE BURLINGTON
MARKET PRICES
Buffers Sensational Fall the
Feature of Past Week-Few
Changes for This Week
Wednesday, February 4. 1919.


Butter has been the prncipal feature
of the market the last week The retail
price has varied since the sensational
drop of last Thursday, the prices rang
ing to-day wednesday, from SO to IS
cents The wholesale prices are said to-
day wednesday, to be 81 and So cents,
with Boston Chamber OF Commerce Civ
ing quotations at 49is cents.
The drop was not unexpected as prices
being quoted in various parts of the coun-
try had given warning of what was to
happen, but that the bottom of the sky
high prices that have prevailed for many
weeks would collapse and fall out SO
suddenly as last Thursday was not ex-
actly anticipated. The householder who
had been guarding his butter. for which
he paid anywhere from 20 to so cents per
pound depending on what quality he pur-
chased, must have felt suddenly rather
faint.
The question is now. is It going any
lower and If so, how much?
Fresh boiled shrrmps, fresh green
shrimp smelt halibut haddock, cod,
cusk, mackerel. Finnan haddies, salmon,
lake perch, quahaugs. clans and oysters
are the offerings In the fish and seafood
lists to-day.
Inc Iruit Hsts are particularly attrac-
tive to-day. Indian river grapefruit is
selling for 10, 1917. 10 and 20 cents. In
dian river oranges are 80, 40, so and &C
cents Dozen Choice Oregon apples are
40 and so a dozen.
Malaga grapes are quoted at % cents
by one fruit store. Other places are
| asking so cents, although there is no
difference In the quality.
The grocery list is practically without
change. In retail grains, there are sew
eral items changed over last weeks quo.
tations.
The following prices for the market of
this week were quoted for the Free Press
by +. ID. Kelley, grocer; r. f. Howard,
meat dealer; the Burlington Fish COM
pany, the Burlington Fruit company and
