OLYMPIA MILL IMPROVEMENTS
The Olympia Mill Co. will, at the be-
ming of the year, transfer their ma
chinery to the new building on the
flats at the foot of Jefferson street.
The length of the new building is 1852
feet and it has been increased by an
extension of 80 feet. The new car
riage will be of a length to saw logs
125 feet in length. The capacity of
the mill will be increased to $4,000
feet in ten hours, or 10000 feet, if
run on full time. 1t is the intention
to fill in the piling on which the new
structure stands with sawdust, and
this makes in time a foundation that
will not be weakened or destroyed by
the toredo. Mr.. Allen thinks that in
the next estimate for harbor improve
ment, some attention should be paid
to opening the east channel, or at
least excavating a basin that will en-
able deep water vessels to load the
product of his mill.

Cattle Poisoned.

Thomas \. lIazen of Norwich
recently turned Is high-grade cows
into field TO feed. At noon II were
dead. About month ago two Of his
herd died suddenly and Thursday he
lost three more. Poisoning for re-
venge by some miscreant was sus.
pected. DR.. Rich of Burlington, the
state veterinarian, who made an ex-
animation, at first thought the cattle
died from anthrax, IA highly infec-
tious germ disease, hut Prof. Bart
lett found evidence of arsenical poi
soning in the stomachs of the dead
animals, and paris green mixed with
salt was found in the pasture. Hazen
was grand Juror and it has become
his duty within the last few months
to make some prosecutions in the in
lcrest of law and order. Thursday
morning Paris green was discovered
scattered about the doorsterS and
premises OF several of the leading citi-
zens of that town. George w. Larry
was arrested Friday morning on sus-
picion OF being concerned in the pois-
Oning OF the cows and the scattering
OF paris green about in that village.
Some time Thursday night a lot of
poison was put into a public drinking
fountain on Main street and pack
age of it was left on the ground

tally but has never shown any dispo-

opinion seems TO be that, while he
may have sprinkled poison around TO
keep up the excitement, he did not
kill the cows.
There are those, however, who
think he has done il all and expect
he will confess, duplicating others
who have instigated it.
Larry denies knowledge Of the
matter and says he has never had any
paris green, but the officers in search-
ing his house found box Of it from
which some had been recently taken.
They also found some loose in his

Senator l.. II. Talcott of WillistoiI
is one of our largest farmers. Prevl'
GUS to 1890 he owned some 2,1OO acres
of land and milk. d $40 cows, making
the milk into cheese. About this time
he concluded 10 reduce farm and
stock. and this he did TO the extent of
one-half. leaving him l,250 acres OF
land and $50 cows. He has three
separate farms and on each is kept 90
COWS. first Jerseys, second Ayrslllres'
third Holsteins.
The farmers in MIR. Talcott's neigh
borhood, or a part of tfem AZ least,
own and operate a cooperative creatl-
cry. where the milk from 400 COWS Is
made into butter. The plant cost
g. 900. Ii was built five years ago,
and was to be and has been paid for
during this time, principal and inter-
est.
Here are some figures from the diff
fepnt herds belonging to Mr.. Talcott,
showing their comparative merits as
milk and butter producing breeds.
For the month of September the Hol-
stein herd gave Il, 254 pounds of milk,
an average of 345 pounds. This
tested 3.2l per cent.
The Ayrshires gave 1875 pounds,
an average of 367 pounds and tested
APO.
The Jerseys gave l6, 5l7 pounds, an
average OF $3.50 pounds with test Of
800 per cent. The average test for
the three herds was 4.46 per cent.
In Weld Of milk he llolsteins gave
ia pounds more than the Jerseys
during the month for the herd Of 80
COWS. and the Ayrshircs gave l,l2l
pounds more than the llolsteins and
1913 pounds more than the Jerseys.
As to receipts the Ayrshires beat
the lIolstcins by SLAP and the Jer.
seys exceeded the Ayrshires by Ss.22
and the Ilolsteins by S23.G4. These
figures are worth considering by
farmers.

hmily laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
semedy with millions of families, and Is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. lis therefore
ali important, in order TO get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep

and the system is regular, then Taxa
