RAILW AY
EXPRESS COMPANY WILL
TAKE TO AIR SERVICE

NEW YORK, Nov. 8 R-The Amer
lean Railway Express is to take to
the air.
Robert e. M. Cowie, president an
nounced today that a contract 70
carry the companys packages by
plane over two routes-the first of n
proposed great nationaI network
has just been signed with The Ma
tional Air Transport, Inc.
The first route will be between
New York ana Chicago and the Sec
ond between Chicago and Dallas
Texas, with service to intermediate
points on both lines.
Later as the system grows, the
zoom of the air express will sound
out over the very west where the
clatter of hoofbeats once marked the
coming Of the now historic Pony
Express"
Augmenting the present railway ex-
press system, the air service is
scheduled to be in full operation on
or before April Is, next year
The establishment of new service
represents the linking of the huge,
war-unified railway express organiza-
tions, of the country and one of the
largest private capital air transport
corporations in the world.
The express company will function
n the pickup and local delivery of
express packages, and the plane trans
port organization will do the carry
ing.
BY air service, the express COM
rany expects to save one full busi-
ness day in the delivery of express
of the size and weight suit
able for air transportation, between
New York and Chicago and the lat
ter city and Dallas.

COUNTY REPORT CoMPLErE

b. 5. Clark, republican candidate for
governor, showed a gain of four votes
in Cochise county when the official
canvass of the votes was made by the
county supervisors at Tombstone on
Monday, according to figures given out
by John 3. Hart, supervisor, upon his
return to Douglas Monday night. The
unofficial count had given Clark a ma
jority of 25S votes in Cochise county,
but the official count was made by
majority of 262.
Supervisor Hart stated that the error
was in the reporting of the unofficial
count and not in the totaling of the
votes by the precinct judges and clerks
The only error discovered in the books
of the 61 precincts of the county was
that in totaling the vote for Fred Kin
ney, candidate for constable in one of
the Warren precincts, where Kinney
had received 80 votes and had been
given credit for but 2G.
The official count on all votes cast
in Cochise county is announced by w.

Of THE TOTAL

WASHINGT Nov.
I8 (AP)-President Coolidge
and Secretary Mellon
ironed out the tax refund
proposal of the executive
today and agreed that it
should be accomplis he'd
through a credit to the tax
payer of about l212 per
cent on income taxes to be
paid next year on this
years income.
While the president was busy adj
just.ng his tax saving plan with
his secretary Of the treasury, con-
gressional leaders were expressing
varying views which indicated clear
~ the plan did not meet with full
approval at the capitol. Mellon ac-
copied the proosal to take his sur
plus away from debt retirement, bur
he convinced tho president that the
idea for an immediate refund or
income taxes collected this year would
be too costly from an administrative
standpoint.
The secretary also boosted the ante
of the executive, who had suggested
a refund of 1s or 12 per cent, ana
it was agreed at the White House
conference that the credit on next
Years taxes could be made Eat least
IL 1-2 per cent
The plan worked out by the presi-
dent and Mellon provides that the
credit shall be taken on the first
two installments Of income taxes to
be paid next year-in March and in
june-which would permit cut of
25 per cent of each installment II
the IL IL per cent figure on the
5ears taxes is authorized by con-
sress.
The credit must be taken in the
irst two installments to permit the
government to adjust it's books by the
lose of the fiscal year ending June
TO- 1t was calculated at about $780,.
100000 which is the surplus expected
It the END of the year.
Up at the capitol Chairman Smooc
f the finance committee, which would
andle any tax bill, cautiously de-
lined a statement on the proposal
'ending a more complete study, but
e indicated he was not in sympathy
With the general proposition.
Senator Norris of Nebraska, a Lead

Waldo County Farm Notes

Despite the representations of the
prophets Of gloom we have had a
summer and a pretty good one it has
! been on the farms of Maine, The
spring was somewhat cold and back
ward but the hot weather of JULY and
August brought the crops along in
great shape, and an inventory re-
veais that it has been a profitable
year. Frost held off we'll and allowed
the corn to reach maturity. We heard
reports of early frosts, but there was
no really killing frost until the first of
October.
Hay was a little below an average
crop. but pastures have been uusual-
ly good and thus there has been no
need OF feeding from the barn as
there was last fall. Grain of all kinds
returned fair yield, beans are good
and the same may be said of all gar
den crops. The sweet corn crop was
not quite up to the average. vet It
was profitable proposition to those
who planted early and gave clean Gull
ture.
And now Names greatest crop.
the potato bids fair to prove a veri-
table bonanza. The cool spring re-
tarded the work of beetles, SO there
was very little damage and little
work required to hold them in check.
POTATOES are large, sound and many
in hill.
The one crop failure Is the apple
crop, but this is seemingly a bless
Ing in disguise for there is a huge
crop in other states and prices are
low.

On the Farms Of Central Maine
News Notes of Interest to Agricuturist Horteulturs,
Dairyman and Poultry Raiser
| Maplehurst Poultry
Farm in Albion Has
Increasing Business

Maplehurst Poultry farm in the
town of Albion Is of much interest to
townspeople. Since this is a recent
venture, it Is not as yet an extensive
business, and yet it seems large in
comparison with the other farms or
the same industry in the vicinity.
The proprietor, Vinal Rideout, has
had a practical education in this line,
having taken government training on
"a large poultry farm. He deals wholly
in Rhode Island Reds, Of which at
present he keeps about 400 hens and
1850 chickens.
The spring is the busiest season at
this place for tending four or five
incubators is not so easy as one
might suppose. In addition to his own
chicks, Mr.. Rideout had all the orders
he could fill this spring for chickens,
Of which he sold about 6000 Those
who wished to hatch their own from
Maplehurst eggs were surprised and
pleased at the high per cent OF hatch,
nearly all averaging 500 and two
1909 settings have been reported.
Not only this but the strength, size
and vitality of the chickens is re-
markable.
Mr.. Rideout raises his own mixed
grain for his hens. besides doing early
market gardening in potatoes, peas
and other small crops.

Fall Butchering Hints

Early winter is the most nearly
ideal time to butcher hogs because
spring pigs are at the right size and
farm work is not so urgent. How
ever, a little early butchering will
add variety to the diet followed all
summer and prove pleasing to the
whole family. If there IS more
meat than the family and the near
neighbors can use Immediately, the
heavier portions can be readily cur
ed for later use.
Fall butchering usually calls for a,
medium or small hog but avoids
runts and unthrifty pigs. After the
hog has been dressed, it must be
allowed to cool at least thirty six
hours. and longer If possible. For
the sake of variety, some folks fry
and pack part of the meat in lard.
A light salt cure must be used on
most of the remainder.
Rub the surface of each piece of
meat with salt and allow to drain
overnight. In the morning pack the
pieces of meat with the meat side
up in a clean barrel. Molasses and
sirup barrels are good for this pur-
pose. When filling the barrel, place
the ham and shoulders on the bot
tom and the smaller. pieces next.
The day before packing the meat,
make brine as follows: s to 20
pounds of SALT to 21a pounds of
sugar drown if you like) dissolved
in four gallons Of boiling water and
2 ounces of saltpeter Add enough
brine so the meat will be completely
covered when weighed down. Plain
salt pork needs no further attention
before using unless the brine be-
comes ropy Then the meat must be
removed and washed. Also wash
and scald the barrel. The brine may
be boiled but it is better to make
new.
Smoking, some of the meat helps
make pleasing variety. All smoked
meat must be thoroly cured with
salt as the smoke will not protect it
against decay. However, meat for
smoking should not be too salt.
Leave a ham in the brine four days
for each pound of meat it contains.
Thus a 15-pound ham will need a
60-day cure. Bacon and small pieces
need three days for each pound of
meat.
Remove the, meat from the brine
at once when the required period of
cure has elapsed. Soak for half an
hour in water and then hang in the
smokehouse twenty-four hours be-
fore starting the smoke. Thirty six
to forty eight hours Is the usual
time for smoking. Meat may also be
smoked with liquid smoke, which is
applied with a brush, and smoked
salt.
