Telephone Co. Wants
to Make New Rate

represented the town of st. Johns
bury and David E. Porter was as
ISOLATED with him representing
subscribers in the towns of Bar
net, Burke, Danville and Lyn-
don.
Mr.. Grant, in presenting the
petition of the telephone company,
said that after the hearing on
the same question in February,
1919, d schedule was put in opera
ton whereby the subscribers in
the territory of the old Passump-
sic telephone company in the
counties of Caledonia, Essex and
Orleans were allowed five free
toll calls a month between local
exchanges, and a readjustment of
rates was arranged. It was claim
ed at that time that the local ter
ritory had to be operated at loss
and that the annual deficit was
something like $4,000. 1t was
thought that the new schedule
would help in a measure to over
come this shortage.
The petition at the present
hearing claimed that the expected
relief has not been forthcoming
and asks that the five-free call
plan, and the 4-party service in
St. Johnsbuly be eliminated and
the territory be placed on the
standard toll schedule, which
means quite a substantial advan'c
in toll rates The petition asks
that the commission authorize the
adoption of the new proposed
rate.
The petition was Enormously
objected to by both Mr.. Searles
and Mr.. Porter, who called at
tertion to the fact that while the
particular territory in question
may not pay direct profit, it was
a part fla system that did pay
handso me dividends, under exist
ing schedules and the fact that
the old Passumpsic Telephone
company's territory did not yiesl
a bigger proportional income to
the central corporation might
arise from the fact that this com
pany's assets we're taken over at
d high valuation. Mr.. Porter did
not think that the desire of the
central company in years past to
absorb and junk its Independent
competitor and the consequent
high price paid for the property
then should be made the excuse
to jack up the present rates to To-
cal telephone subscribers
Mr.. Searlcs objected to contin-
uing the hearing on the ground
that the interested parties to the
case, namely the telephone sub
scribers in the counties of Gale
doEia, Essex and Orleans, had
rot had sufficient notice of the
and knew nothing of
what was proposed to be done.
The commission decided that
sufficient notice had not been
given, even if the officials of the
cNcral towns had been notified,
and the hearing was continued
awaiting further developments.

By M. V. Barnes County Agen+
Records of milk production and
its cost, taken from the annual re-
ports of the New England Gale
donia Cow Test association show
that the heaviest gram feeders
made less money per COW above

ing less grain. The old ratio of
ID. of grain to or 9 p lbs. of milk
did not prove the best shows
that it should only he used as a
starting place and the amount OF
grain per pound of milk Increased
or decreased accordingly as the
COW pays profit
The herds Of the associatonWcrc
divided into two groups Jerseys
and Holsteins and the average
COW records from each herd taken.
The proportion of grain fed to
milk produced was then found by
dividing the amount of milk pro-
duced by the amount of gram fed.
The Jersey herds were then divid-
ed into two groups, those feeding
/ lb. of grain to 3 lbs. of milk OF
more, and those fed l lb. of grain
to 3.3 lbs. of milk OF more.
The Holsteins were divided into
two classes, one feeding 1 lb. grain
to 3 lbs OF less Of milk and those
feeding 1 ID Of grain to 3.2 lbs. OF
over.
The results are as follows:

lily disastrous when they followed It
perforce, before the establishment of

are still following the faith system Of
growing and marketing because they
have not seen fit to use the eyes fur

around and ahead, seeing what other
sections are doing, finding where any

but the chances are more than even
that he will not, for birds of all ages
are used In the preparation OF all
these dishes. When he orders broiled
chicken he is sure that the meat will
be what he desires, for only young
chickens are used for broiling. This
demand causes well-flnished broilers
to command good price in the mar
ket all the year around.
Three Types Of 5roiIers.
Broilers are young, plump chickens,
weighing, when dressed, from three
quarters Of pound to two pounds,
and are usually killed when from eight
to twelve weeks old. The name is de-
rived from the fact that they are usu-
ally split down the middle and the
halves broiled. The market demand
today is for broilers of three sizes
squad broilers, small broilers, and
large broilers.
SQUAD broilers, when dressed, weigh
from three-quarters of a pound to 1
pound each; small broilers, the size

Finish Broilers for Market.
A fat broiler is quite rarity; the
best that can be done, in general, Is
to have 1t plump, for the natural
tendency of the chick is to use all nu-
triment for growth and development.
When the birds are nearly large
enough for the market they should be
given all the fattening feed they Will

rious forms should be fed freely.

DAY IS REPORT

Indianapolis, Ind, April IA
With the end today Of the second
week Of the nationwide suspen-
sion Of work in the coal industry,
interest at union headquarters
here was centered in the progress
OF enlisting more non-union work
ers in the walkout. The total OF
665,000 idle miners, claimed BY
the union, showed gain OF more
than $4,000 during the week and
the opinion In union circles was
that the strike had not yet reach
ed It's peak strength.
Gains scored in the Pennsyl-
vania coke districts we're the most
significant development OF the un-
ion point Of view, while the only
reverse seemed the temporary In
junction affecting two important
West Virginia fields, which ham
pered the union activities. In the
latter fields, however, the union
did not admit any loss Of the men,
who Joined in the suspension dur
Ing the first week. Plans also
were being made by counsel for
the union to contest the court or
ders, with the view OF setting
them aside, in whole or part.
Another shift in the national
headquarters for the conduct of
the suspension came when Presi-
dent Lewis OF the United Mine
Workers went to his home in
Springfield to remain for the week
end. Since the beginning of the
suspension Mr.. Lewis has been IN
New York and Washington, as
well as this city. He is expected
