Chicken Talk.

Editor REPUBLIc:-T Thinking a few
facts and figures in regard to our
chickens would interest your readers,
[ give you the credit side of the ledger.
There is no account taken of the ex-
pense for feed, ETC., as they ran at large
and helped themselves. We kept a
daily account of receipts and could ex-
plain in detail, but would occupy too
much space. I will say though that
March was the best month in the year
for eggs, getting 1,115, July, 336, a gain
Of only two over January. August
doubled the July amount. The rest of
the year was gradual decrease, 81 in
November, it being the poorest month
in the year. January 1, 1893, we start
ed with "a hens, received in eggs dur
ing the year, 578 dozen. Take Is cents
as an average price for the year
amounts to $500. Young stock grown
during the year SO at 25 cents piece,
SPOTS, total S106.45, minus 81 hens, the
original stock, at % cents 81, total
gain S85.45, or 81 profit to each after
paying for herself 1t may surprise you
to know how many eggs you use in the
family. We used 355 dozen for the
table and setting purposes. Perhaps
this article is already too long, so will
close by saying that our chickens are

A Dying Woman Tells a
Story
Which Begins to Develop the Long
Suspected Conspiracy in the

FRESNO, CAL, March ga sensation
in the Heath trial this morning was
caused by the testimony of Mrs. Cora
Palmer, who on the night of the Nc.
Whittier murder was taking her hus-
band to town to take the 2:30 train.
She passed a buggy containing Reel
Terry. city attorney. A piece of burn
ing cloth had been thrown out of the
buggy which was setting fire to the
grass by the roadside. She stamped
out the fire and picked up the partially
consumed cloth, which proved to be q
black cloth mask and handkerchief
bearing the name of r. 1. Heath. The
handkerchief was given in testimony.
Mrs. Palmer is dying from consumption
and had to be brought into court on
bed. Her testimony made profound
impression. Heath was visibly af-
fected.
This afternoon when court opened
such throng was in attendance that
the doors had to be barricaded. Mrs.
Palmer was cross examined by W. H.
Foote whose questions were verv
searching attacking her testimony on
every side. She maintained her story
and gave further particulars on several
points. In answer to questions che
said that R. B. Terry when she passed
him had straw hat on with a black
band. She was unable to describe her
COM anion further than that he was
not Chinaman.
This same buggy has already been
traced by other witnesses mile further
north than the point where the witness
saw it. One witness had seen it within
a block of where Mrs. Palmer met it.
