Hen Lore.


The breeding Of poultry for the food
market has become one Of the great in
dustries Of the country. 1t is increasing
every year, SIS the commercial value OF
their productions becomes known. There
is no risk in raising poultry comparative
ly it is not subject to extremes, there is
little danger Of oyerprOduction, it Is nice
" balanced by division OF labor and it is
within the reach of the poorest house
keeper. We know of no home industry
that is better suited to all classes of sOcie-
ty, and can be made auxiliary to other
pursuits without infringing on the time
Of the keeper.
Now, if it pays to keep horses, cattle,
sheep and swine one year with another,
most assuredly it pays to keep good fowls.
We know there were times that eggs and
flesh brought low prices and scarcely
paid their keepers for the food they con-
sumed, TO say nothing Of the time lots by
them, but there had been a gradual
change for the better, and prices have
come up in the past few years and re-
main 50 with an upward tendency, which
shows the demand is in excess Of the
supply.
From frequent experiments il has been
shown that ninety pounds Of grain viii
keepa hen in fair condition a year ifsbe
has her liberty; sixty pounds Of grain
viii keep hen on farm, for she can
procure q large share Of her food from
spring till winter which would be lost to
the farmer, and often young and old fowls
destroy great many bugs and insects
which are destructive to grain, vegetables
and vines, and by this keep down their
rapid increase. The sixty pounds of
grain in the past three years did not av-
erage over fifty or sixty cents 10 the farm
er, and We know in small filOcks that
good laying hens viii average from eight
70 ten dozen eggs each besides raising a
brood Of chickens. The small flock that
does not make this record annually while
well cared for and comfortably housed
is mediocre stock.
A fairly good hen viii make dollar a
year profit for two years, then she viii
begin TO decrease in egg production and
value as a table fowl. Thousands of
hens make more than dollar profit an
nnally, and thousands make less. Doubt
less there are in every feck not specially
selected, some hens which do not pay for
their keeping. This is the fault Of the
owner or attendant, who should see that
such hens are consigned to the block 1t
is the farmers duty to keep the best Of
everything salable to make the most
profit, and if one hen or two or dozen
in flock lay greater number OF eggs,
and another dozen receiving the sane
kind Of food, care and attention do not
lay half as many eggs, it IS his duty to
get nd Of the poor layers and breed from
the good laying hens if be wants to make
poultry keeping profitable. = Nsbrasta

AN IMPORTANT MEETING

OF Cottage Owners and Summer Resi-
dents at Savin ROck-ActiOns Taken
Various Committees Appointed
with Reference to Securing Needed
improvements.

cottage owners and cottage residents at
Savin Rock was held ct the Sea View

the best interests and further prosperity
of the shore were discussed at length.
After the debates committee were ap-
pointed as follows:
One to visit the Marlburen Water Com

it's mains SO as to connect with the West
Haven company's mains, in order that a
supply of pure water may be counted up
on at all times.

lated.
Another committee to consult with the
borrugh authorities in order that meas
ures be taken to obtain better order and
less disorderly conduct and brawling at
the rock evenings and on Sundays.
Another committee to visit the borough

reckless driving on the shore thorough
fares, which endangers the lives and limbs
of people crossing the street or passing in
carriages on those theroughfares.
The meeting was spirited one and rep
resented the most influential property

A VOICE FROM THE DEAD.

VOICE FROM THE DEAD.
A Miss1ve From John Pfrender in
Which He Foretells His Suicide Is
Discovered on the Banks of the
Water Where His Body Was
Found.
Late yesterday afternoon while cutting
salt hay on the Savin Rock meadows
Samuel Spencer, an aged colored man re-
siding at II Greenwood street, discovered
on the banks of the river from which was
recently recovered the body of John
Pfrender, Clutch John," a little wooden
box enclosed in which was found a small
scrap of paper, on which was written
what was probably the last communica-
ton made by the unfortunate man before
he committed suicide by throwing himself
into the waters of the river. The paper
enclosed in the box is said to be in the
handwriting of the dead man by persons
familiar with his penmanship.
The paper, which is but slightly dis
colored, bears the date of March 9, 1891,
the day on which Pfrender disappeared
and contains in addition the following
words of farewell:
When you find this paper Dutch John will be
out of sight Good by. JOHN PFRENDER.
There seems to be no doubt but that
from the place in which the box was found
that Clutch John" penned these few lines
and placing them in the box put it where
it was SO long afterward discovered, and,
having done so, took the fatal jump into
the water.
The box with its contents was brought
into the city by Mr.. Spencer and given by
him to COURIER reporter with the facts
as above stated. Mr.. Spencer is a man of
absolute veracity and credence can be
placed upon his statements.
