DIR. HUFFMAN EXPLAINS
He Finds Serious Fault With Some of
the Statements Made by Cor
Hawkins.
SAN FRANCISCO, May II, 1896.

SAN FRANCISCO May II, 1896
To the Editor of the San Francisco Cdll-SIR: In
this mornings issue of THE CALL appears an
alleged interview with Coroner Hawkins In
regard TO the suit for damages instituted
against him by the widow of the late Jens W.
Sonderup, in which the Coroner is alleged to
have said the undertakers informed him that
l had paid the expenses of the funeral
of the said Jens w. Sonderup and that
l had told him (Hawkins) at the time
of the mans death that the family did not
ontemplate instltuting a damage suit against
the railroad, but desired that the man might
be buried quietly without an autopsy.
In regard to the first all ton wish to say
that the body OF Mr.. Sonderup was placed with
the undertakers, Messrs. Gantner d Guntz
by the widow herself, and that have not con-
tributed single cent toward said funeral or
in any way pledged myself to be responsible
in any way for the expenses thereof.
In regard TO the second allegation l wish to
say that suit for damages in the sum OF
$40 1000 against the Southern Pacific Railway
Company was pending in the Superior Court
at the time of Mr.. Sonderup's death and the
alleged statement made is as false as the death
certificate filed by the Coroner in the Health
Office. Respectfully submitted,
CHAs. e. HUFFMAN, NJ. d.

commence repairs on the Baltimore and

When the snow prevents the fowls
from going outside, the floor of the
house becomes filthy and the walls be-
come damp. The only remedy is to
clean frequently and keep the floor
we'll covered with litter. Damp walls
require ventilation, and this must be
done by leaving doors and windows
open. keeping the hens inside by the
aid of wire. Ii the walls are lined
with tarred paper on the inside, they
will become damp, and on cold night
will show white frosting; hence, as we
stated before. the paper should be on
the outside. A stable lantern hung up
i'll the house, and ventilator open at
the highest point will dry the walls,
but the ventilator must be closed when
the sun goes down. A lump of stone
lime will absorb moisture, and greatly
aid in keeping the house dry. Water
ing pans (which allow of evaporation
of water), eXhalations of the fowls,
and the moisture in the atmosphere,
are all sources of dampness which can
not well be avoided when fowls are
confined.

An English Furnishing scheme.

The old English fashion of chintz-
covering furniture for the drawing
room cannot be too highly commend
ed, and if any manufacturer would
reproduce the old glaze covered with
roses and other gay flowers, it would
undoubtedly command a ready sale.
A drawing room done" in such a
chintZ suggests the faint fragrance of
s'potpoIrri' of rose leaves i'll Indian
jars, cabinets and old china and other
delightful associations. The chairs
should be low and deep-seated and
springy, the sofa long enough and
wide enough for a comfortable siesta,
an ample, well-equipped writing table
is a sine qua non, together with small
tables covered with books and periodi-
Gals, rather than brick-a-brac. How
much better all this would be than the
plush-covered suit goes without say
ing. 1t means refinement, taste, har-
monious atmospheric one may use

THE END.
keen the Live stock in Good Con
ditiOn


1t is the best and safest plan to put
all the live stock On winter rations in
good time, and before they become
really hungry and lose flesh by want Of
nutriment in the food gathered from
the fields AS soon as IA frost has taken
the starch out of the heritage, and les
sened it's ability to nourish an animal
the main supply of food should be
given from the winter stores. To fall
off now is to keep out of condition all
the winter. 1t is quite possible to
stall-feed an animal with success in
the winter, but the consumption OF
food will be considerably increased
over and above what would be re-
CURED at any other season. 1t is an
old saying, an animal we'll summered
is half wintered 1t is more easily
kept so than it can be recovered from
a lower state of health and vigor
Thus, just now it should be the effort
to prevent any falling off in the condi-
ton, and put all the stock into winter
quarters in as fine a state Of health as
is possible.-Orange Judd Farmer.
