THE BURLINGTON FREE PRESS AND TIMES: THURSDAY, NOVKMBKtl 21, 1012.
SEVENTY-SIX TONS OF MAIL
Handled by Burlington Postoflko
during Month of Octobor.
Three Rural t'arrlcre niapoeed of
Nearly Two Tan noil City Gar
rfera Stopped at .More Than
U,fHK) Different Places.
Alorti tliati W ton of .tintl matter was
sent out of Burlington during the SO
cUj6 In October, and about 30 tons found
their Tray Into the homes and business
limis-es of this city. The figures have
l"fn compiled by the local postoffice
f Ten for the purpose of furnishing data
noon which thn screen wagon contracts
miij- Ik bn;tci The bu.sln.ew done In
October was nothing mw.w .'i normal,
hut Is much larger than Is the general
Impression.
The report h made after the weighing
show that pouches and 974 mall sacks
were received In Ihirllngton and tliat their
combined weight was 63.179 pounds. The
outgoing malls rwjulreil 7.V) pouches and
1.9S6 sack weighing 92,602 pounds. The
pouchee contain the letter and post
cards, and the sacks nre used for papers
and packages.
The threo rural mail carriers took caro
of 21.46S pieces of mall, the weight of
wlilch was .1.3:1 pounds. Theie was also
plenty of work for the other carriers.
There are In the city 713 ttops at business
places and 6,496 stops In the residential
section.
Ona great hindrance to the prompt de
livery of mall Is the lack of proper
eceptncles. In the business section there
are 60 places provided but In the res!
dentl&l section there ore only 93S, or one
for every six stopping places. As a result
the carrier Is obliged to ring the door bell
and wait for pome one to come to the
door, instead of putting mall through a
slide or Into nn Inexpensive box. The
government has done all In Its power to
Induce the purchase of mail boxes but in
Burlington the efforts have been of little
effect.

CLAIMS HE WAS ROBBED.
Gero Had Seyeral Drlaka vrlth a Stran
ger, Who Did the Rent.
A bold robbery was reported to the po
lice Thursday by Joseph Gero, a teamster
living on Bradley road, and from whom
an unknown thief forcibly took S192 short
ly before six o'clock the afternoon before.
The robbery took place on North Wlnoo-
ski avenue. The police are now conduct
ing a hunt for the man, but Gero's tardl
ness In reporting the robbery gave him
such a start that it Is doubtful If he can
he captured.
Gero had the amount In n wallet in an
Inside pocket of his coat and was Intend
ing to pay a bill of JI25. On North Wl-
nooskl avenue he was accosted by a man
of apparently 25 or so years of age and
who. calling him "Joe." asked If he would
not buy him a drink. Gero took a dollar
from his roll and handed It to him. The
man bought n quart of cheap wine at a
second class place nearby and both men
then went into a house and drank It.
Gero thinks tho name of the man who
lived in tho house was Smith.
The stranger gave Gero tho change fiom
his dollar and after they had sat around
the house for a while both got up and
went out. When nearly at the corner of
North Wlnooski avenue and First street
the younger man grasped Gero and with
the words "give up that roll" slid his
hand Into Gero'B coat pocket, took the
wallet and was away nlmcw-t before Gero
knew what had happened.
The thief took the course down through
the old ball grounds and, although a cry
was raised and a crowd went In pursuit,
no sign of the man was seen He Is de
scribed as being of about Id') pounds In
weight and about five feet nine Inches In
height. He had on a light coat of sort of
a mixed brown. The general description
answers that of one of the men who
broke out of Plattsburgh Jaii two or three
days ago. Gero or any of the; other people
In the Smith house do not remember of
having seen him before.
The $192 represented the total of Gero's
summer's work. Tho roll consisted of
three, i'Ji bills, three twos, one dollar bill
and the remainder In fives and tens.

PAID SCOTT 915,000 FOR A POEM,
(From the London Chronicle.)
What Is the highest price ever paid by
a publisher for a poem?
It would bo In'erestlng to know whether
any advance has ever been made on the
315,000 that Scott received for "Rokeby."
Stephen Gwynn, In his life of Moore,
tella us that Murray offered 110,000 for
the copyright of "Lalla Rookh," but
Moore's friends thought he should have
more and, going to Longman, they claim
ed that Mr. Moore should receive no less
than the highest price ever paid for a
poem.
" That,' said Longman, 'was tU.OOO
paid for 'Rokeby.' "
"On this basis they treated, and tionf
man waa Inclined to stipulate for a pre
liminary perusal. Moore, however, re
fused, and the agreement was finally
worded: That upon your riving tnto
I our hands a poem of the length of
1 'Rokeby' you shall receive from us a sum
of $15,000 ' "
MUCH TROUBLE FOR HATES
United States Officials Follow
Close on Heels of Authorities.
Licensee Held In V,tH, Hall .Tall
Breaker .dent to Vlnrtnor Crim
inal Cases Po men a Cetinty
Court.
Verily the way of the transgressor Is
hard. When Lawrence Hayes, Jr., of
South Burlington, polished off the optics
of Police onicer David Dcmag at Essex
Junction and gave Head Teamster Boh
mer of Port Ethan Allen a beating up he
doubtless did not reckon with the law. lie
probably had never teen the Interior of
the Chittenden county court room then.
Thursday, when lie left the. court room In
custody of Deputy Sheriff Henry Todd, he
was wiser, at nil events.
Hayes Is something of a unique charac
ter In his way. He Is only 19 years old
and the authorities say that when he has
I had a drink or two he becomes a bad fel
low to reckon with. Hayes Is too handy
with his list at such times, 'tis said. He
Is built along husky lines and is said to
be peaceable enough when sober.
In the matter of assaulting Officer De
map, Hayes pleaded guilty and the court
stated thnt upon his disclosing where he
obtained his liquor, his case would be dis
posed of. The young man thereupon dis
closed on I'red Labelle of this city, who
was In court only a few weeks ago on a
charge of selling to minors. Judge Taylor
Imposed n line nn Hayes of iZ and sen
uiu'rd him to serve six month In Jail. The
jail sentence, however, wnsotispcndcd and
llnyes was placed In the. hand of Probi
tlon Ofllccr j L. Sherman. The line w.is
paid.
This case against Hayes was no sootier
disposed of than he was arrested again
cm request of L'nlted States District At
torney Alexander Dunnett, who desires
that he be held In jail here on a charge of
assaulting Hohnirr on the reservation at
l'nrt Ethan Allen. It Is possible that
Hayes may now have to remain In Jail
until the next term of l'nlted States
court. Even if he Is released sooner he Is
liable to be held as a witness In the case
against Labelle. Labelle was held for trial
nnd ball of J.'ii was furnished
William Wallace, alias Nesblt, nns scn-tcn-ed
Thursday to serve not less than
one nor mure than two rs m Windsor
on his pie i of guilty to the charge of Jill
breach or breaking Jail. Wallace wa.s
serving a short sentence for Intoxication
in the county Jail about two year ago
and upon belli:; allowed out to woik as a
trusty he walked away and was not heard
if again until he was found to be seivins
time In Rutland. At the expiiation of that
M'titenco he was brought here and an In
tonnatlon tiled against him In the county
court.
Mr. Shaw Thursday posted a new list of
cases which will be taken up in thair
uiiler ajN lapidly as possible. The list In-
'ucies the following: State vs. William
l)i slam ler, burglary, Stale vs. Fird La

NEW INDUSTRY IN TOWN.
Kureka Vending Machine Company
flettlns llrndj- for nullum.
Burlington has a new industry. It Is lo
cated In the building at 24 Mechanics lano
nnd is known as the Eureka Vending Ma
chlno company of New York State. The
company has been Incorporated with a
capital Btock of $50,000, of which $26,000 has
been paid In and the promoters expect
within W clnj'fi to be shipping goods to all
points in New York State. While the
company has its factory and office here, it
supplies only the New York State trade.
The trade In Vermont Is taken care ot by
the head factory at St Johnsbury. The
manager of the Burlington industry Is J
Edward Alexander of St. Johnshury, and
O. B. Arnold of this city Is also interested
In the concern
The concern comes to Burlington all
ready to do business, It has purchased
the machines for making Its products and
s soon as these ate Installed with motive
power operations will begin. Much of the
valuable equipment Is now in the plant.
In ft about $5,ooo worth of tool equip
ment Is here and a number of machines
are ordered and on the way. The new
concern will manufacture vending ma
chines, moro commonly known as slot
machines for sanitary water cups, toilet
paper, gum, chocolates and candy. The
manager of the industry stated yesterday
that the trade for the company's products
has been established some tine, and that
all that was necessary now was to get
the machinery Into operation to supply
the demand for the vending machines.
The mechanism of the vending ma
thlne.s Is so perfectly adjusted that H re
quires skilled labor to assemble the vari
ous parts. It Is estimated tint when the
Plant Is In operation nbout 50 men will be
employed. The company will have Its of
rice and salesroom In the rront of thn
building and the largo floor space In the
rear will be devoted to machinery. About
M.OOO tons of the latter will he Installed.
On the upper floor of the building will be
located the shipping room and other do
partments connected ultli the concern.
FARMERS' SHOW SEASON.
Breeders seud Livestock to Kalra Am u
Business Proposition.
At no other place or time, perhaps, Is
the financial condition of tho farmer, his
cmbltlons and his Ideas, better mirrored
than at the various State fairs, says the
Boston N'nws Bureau. After a brilliant
crop season such as the farmer has had
this year, ho Is naturally enthused and
eager to Improve his farm and expand
his operations. Hp therefore goes to his
State fair.
At the recent Iowa fair there were on
exhibition 9.71 pure bred cattle from the
best herds of the middle West, 2.11G pure
bred hogs, 77". pure bred stallions and
mares and several hundred sheep, all ot
which could have been sold readily to
the farmers on the grounds for much
more than Jl.nno.ovi, Exhibitors at tho
Iowa fair made many sales of boars at
from 4f) to $) a head, It Is not unusual
to sell prlao winning stalllon.s at from
H.000 to $5,000 at theso snows.
There Is noticeable at nil fairs held
thus far n decrease In livestock exhibits,
which Is due to the high cost of feed In
the last year. A feature of the Iowa fair
which throws light on the highest pricos
of beef was the fact that there were
about as man dairy animals as animals
f the beef breeds In the cattle show. Ktve
years ago beef breeds at the Iowa fair
outnumbered dairy stock live to one.
Kreeders send their livestock to tho fair
as a business proposition. They are send
Ing more dairy animals because more
farmers are seeking that class of live
stock. Exhibitors at the fairs generally
teport Increased Interest In livestock of
all Kinds, which augurs well for the fu

Whole corn is i -rood feed for setting
hen. Water, grit, a.id dtiFt baths should
also be provided.
All etrgs should be tested by the seventh

POULTRY HOUSES AND FIXTURES.
In most localities the building should
face the south. a this Insures the great
' est amount of sunlight dqrlng the win-
, ter.
Allow at least two square feet ccf Moor
I space per bird
Proper ventilation and sunlight mean
a dry house and healthy birds.
I The partly open-front house Is eonced-
ed to be the best typo for most sections,
j The colony plan of housing poultry' may
' be adopted to good advantage on many
farms. This System does away with tho
danger of tainted soli.
The rooits should lie hullt on the samo
level, two feet six Inches from the floor,
with a dropping board about eight inches
below them.
Good roosts may be made of two by
two-Inch material with upper edges
tounded.
The nests may be placed on the sldo
walls or under the dropping boards. It
Is best to have thorn darkened, as the
hens prefer a secluded place In which
to lay.
HOW TO TEED POULTRY.
In order to obtain eggs It Is necessary
to have healthy, vigorous stock, properly
fed.
Nature provides worms and bugs, seeds,
greens, grit, water.
Scientific classification, Nitrogenous
material or protein, non-nitrogenous,
succulents, mineral matter, water.
Poultrymen feed:
Egg, meat (green cut bone or beef
scrap) milk, or cottage cheese, wheat,
onts, corn, barley, etc, lettuce, cabbage,
kale, mangels, alfalfa, clover, etc., grit
and oyster shell, water.
A splendid mixture for laying hens Is
equal parts of cracked corn, wheat and
oatn, which should be scattered In the
Utter.
Bran ur middlings nnd beef scraps
should be kept In receptacle's to which
the fowls have nccess ut all times.
Plenty of exercise Increases the egg
leld.
Provide four or five feet of good, clean
litter in which to scatter the grain.
Cabbages, mangels, potntoon, etc.,

When wet mashes arc feci, be sure they
