nEeINNINa THE POULTRY business.
Sometimes It is not easy to decide how
20 start. The first thing for the beginner
rs TO determine what breed he likes best,
and that would be suitable to his pur-
pose, no matter what others may like OF
select for their use. You must individu-
hlly ynsuit your own tastes and purposes,
or you will never be satisfied. After hav-
ang decided, the next thing to consider is
oi whom you will purchase. It Is not
'oest to start on cheap plan; as gen
terai rule it is with poultry as with other
things, the cheapest is the dearest in the
end. DO not canvass the country to find
ahe man who sells eggs or birds at low
prices, but rather find one who sells the
best stock at reasonable prices. - Times

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Onions keep best in barn lofts, where
they freeze.
If mildew appears on the rose bushes
dust them with sulphur.
Chop up grass for the confined poultry,
and they'll thank You for it.
Dig around the chickenyards as often
as you can possibly get time.
Rich soil is necessary to the production
of rich, succulent vegetables.
A community shows thrift by having
ornamental trees and shrubs well kept
about every dwelling.
Where it is desired to produce the best
possible results in gardening VIC would
advise watering Just before sundown.
Geese prefer parsley and plantain to
grass, and their mid In killing these
weeds out is valuable in both garden and
pasture.
II you have any coal ashes, give the
currant patch good dressing, it will
keep down the weeds and save much
hard work.
A farm horse we'll treated should be,
and really is, good for many more years

of the crop, if of corn, will insure great
est feeding value Of the ensilagc.
One advantage to be derived from
mulching small fruit, Strawberries, etc,
is that it keeps them back in the spring
and there is less danger from frosts.
"Make hay while the sun Shines" Yes,
to be sure; bnt the work is somewhat
difficult when sunshine and ra.l alternate
in quick succession every day in the

Planting OF young trees is to be urged,
because they grow more rapidly than old
ones, us their roots are comparatively
much less injured in taking up and re-
setting.

year or more did as well as those which
came in Mt three or thereabouts, and were
fresh again inside of II year.
If you intend to build up dairy herd
it will pay you to feed your young heifers
something besides corn-give them some
oats. You will reap the good of it in

Success in farming comes principally
from learning how to do everything and
the exact time when it should be done,
adding the not eXtravagant presumption
that the farmer is industrious and
frugal.
The importation of dairy breeds of
cattle has been much better sustained iii
the last few years, than that Of the beef
breeds. 1mportations of all kinds have
fallen off, but of the latter more largely
than of the former.
In starting what might be called an
ordinary dairy herd, one should begin
with heifcrs or young COWS of moderate
size and good quality, with shapeiy bags,
and on these should be put well-bred
bull from good milking strain.

IRELAND IS ON TOP.
Judge Over Sustains the Register in
PrObating an Irish Will.
MRS. M'CONLEY'S PROTEST NO GOOD.
Mr.. WrasS Wants $4,000 From the Citizens
Traction Co. for His Lost Arm.

The well-known "Irish will case" was
settled finally yesterday by Judge Over OF
the Orphans Court. He handed down an
opinion, upholding the action of Register
Conner in admitting to probate the will
made in Ireland, and dismissed the petition
protesting against it.
Mrs. Margaret Mcdonald, whose will was
contested, first made will in 1876 leaving her
estate to her sister, Mrs. Elizabeth McConley.
In 1885 Mrs. Mcdonald, in company with her
husband visited Ireland. While there
she made a second Will, leaving El00 to her
sister-in-law, Mrs. Murti: fl50 to Mrs Savage,
her niece, and the remainder of her estate to
her husband. The second Will was hled IN the
Probate Court in Dublin, Ireland. 1t could
not be probated there as the estate was in Allie
Eheny county. A certified copy of the Will was
then procured and filed with Register Conner.
Mrs. McConley filed protest, but the Regis
ter decided to admit the Irish Will to probate.
An appeal was taken from his decision and
Judge Over decided the matter yesterday.
The protest alleged fraud and undue in
duence and testamentary incapacity; also that
only the original will could be probated, and
that the Allegheny County Court had no juris-
diction regarding will made in Ireland.
Judge over in his opinion, said that fraud
ana undue influence had not been proven by
the testimony, neither had testamentary in
capacity; that decisions of the Supreme Court
held that a will lost or destroyed could be
proven by testimony, and as thus reproduced
admitted to probate As the original will in
this case could not be procured, it was virtually
lost, and therefore covered by the decisions.
He held further that the deceased had been
domiciled in Allegheny county some time, and
intended to return here after her visit. In con-
sequence she was domiciled here, and this
court had jurisdiction of the probate of the
Nxi11
