Superior Court-Civil Slde-Judge Thayer.
There We're five cases upon the as
signment list for trial yesterday before
Judge Thayer in the civil side of the
superior court. They were the cases
of Ward VS.. Burpee ct al, Bradley VS..
Thompson ct al, Healy vs. Fallon ct
ais, the Yale Gas stove Co. VS.. Foley,
the State bank Of New York VS.. Wa
terhouse, jr.
In every case one or the other or
both of the opposing counsel were not
prepared for trial. All asked that the
cases be put upon Fridays short calen-
dar for re-assignment. Judge Thayer
looked upon some of the excuses offer
ed as trivial and absurd and said that
such subterfuges to prolong an already
extraordinary long term was inexcus-
able and showed procrastinating spir-
it. The judge then instructed Deputy
Sheriff Splegel to adjourn court until
to-day.
Of the five cases assigned for yester-
day one was settled between the liti-
giants. 1t was the suit of Elizabeth A.
Bradley against Jason P. Thompson.
This was an action brought in 1894 to
recover about 5000. Mrs. Bradley al
legged that Mr.. Thompson acting for
John H Whiting had agreed to pay the
taxes on a piece of property which she
bought from Whiting for $1,000 The
payment of the taxes against the prop
she alleged. BY a private arrangement
the case was settled and suit avoided.
Superior Court Criminal Side-Judge
Prentice.
Edward Closson was put on trial in
the superior court, criminal side, be-
fore jury yesterday for breaking in
to a place belonging to a man named
Jenkins of Cheshire. The only witness
was man named Fem, who was SEN
fenced to the state prison for the same
offence.
The jury found Slosson guilty and
recommended him to the mercy of the
court, He was sentenced to three years
in state prison This was the last case
in this term Of the superior court. AT
the conclusion of the Slosson case court
adjourned sine die. This has been an
unusually long term, having lasted
twenty-nine days.
NOT GUILTY OF BURGLARY.
William Devine, George Devine, James
and John Cunningham were found not
guilty Of burglary, for which they
have been on trial in the SUPERIOR court
yesterday, and their cases were nolled
Lawyers Martin Conlan, Graves, and
Robert Stoddard defended them.
GORMAN GETS FIFTEEN MONTHS.
James S. German, formerly Edward
MalIeys confidential clerk, was ar
raigned in the superior criminal court
yesterday morning, and plead guilty
to charges of embezzlement and theft
He was sentenced to six months in
Jail on the first count, and nine months
in Jail on the second count.
1t was agreed between Lawyer j. P.
Goodhart Germans attorney, and
State Attorney Williams, yesterday
morning, that the prisoner should plead
guilty and take a sentence of six
months for theft and nine months for
the embezzlement, as the amount al
legged in the indictment Is only 1855.
This was done, and Judge Prentice in
structed Clerk Fowler to enter a, SEN
tence of fifteen months imprisonment
in the county Jail for the two offences.

Charcoal for Fattening.

Experiments made with turkeys
demonstrated that when charcoal was
added to the food they gained more
rapidly in weight than when it was
omitted. This would imply that there
was something in the charcoal which
created fat, but it is doubtful Which
portion of the charcoal is digcsted.
The probability is that when fowls
are being fatted they receive more
food than should be allowed, portion
fermenting in the crop before it can
be passed on to the gizzard. Fresh
charcoal absorbs gasses, and serves to
correct acidity, and it is to this prop
erty of charcoal that IT'S beneficial eff
fects are due. Charcoal is eaten by
hogs for the same purpose, and proves
a valuable adjunct when they are fed
heavily. In fattening poultry it is
not necessary to feed every two or
three hours, but rather to allow all
the food the fowls can eat at enc
meal, three times day being a suf-
fcient number of meals. 1t is the
amount of food digested that causes
the increase of weight, and it requires
several hours for digestion to occur.
Any food given that cannot be d1-
gested retards the gain of the fowl,
and also increases the cost of produce
ton. Charcoal is an assistant to df-
gestion, and not food Farm

Diseases of Ducks and Geese.

The most frequent difficulty with
ducks and geese is that of vertigo.
They drop down on their feet, or fall
over to one side suddenly, at times as
rapidly recovering, or dying immedi-
ately. This happens only when ducks
or geese are fed on too much grain
The best system to adopt in summer
is to put them in field where short
grass is abundant, or even young
weeds, and let them get the food for
themselves. They require but very
little food in summer, as they are
then we'll over the laying period, Sc
coming on-producers. If this fact is
kept in view, -that of the non pr J.
ducers requiring but little food dur,
ing warm weather,-there would be
saving in expenses as well as fewer
losses from disease, but it is difficult
to convince those having good breeds
that there is such thing as killing
with kindness feeding too much.--,

Good Advice.

If you wish to be successful with
poultry, do not undertake too much at
first. Begin with few fowls and
study their habits and wants, and
then gradually increase the number.
If after purchasing pure-bred fowls
they do not begin laying at once, don't
get impatient; all they want is a lit
tie time to accustom themselves to
their new surroundings. Then if they
don't begin, you may make up your
mind that your system of feeding
isn't right.
If your hens do not lay, or lay
double-yolked or soft-shelled eggs,
they are too fat, and more wheat and
oats, and no maize, should be fed;
also require them to scratch for all
grain given them.
If your space is limited, keep only
few fowls and let the few be very
fine ones, as it costs no more to feed a
If you have plenty of space, it is
best to separate the males from the
females and the hens from the pullets
as the growing pullets need more food
than the hens. If allowed to run to-
gether, it increases your food bill and
invites disease among your hens, as
they will become too fat.
If there are any leftover vegetables
meat or bread scraps from the table,
give them to the poultry as it will pay
better than to give them to the pigs.
If your chicks have crooked breast
bones, it was no doubt caused by
roosting on small poles too early. AL
low them to sit down on clean straw
until they are over half grown.
If your young chicks stand about
and sleep, it is then quite evident that
you are trying to raise poultry and
lice on the same amount. Of food.
Look at the little fellows at once, and
see if you do not find lice on their
heads, upper wings and under and
over vent.-Cable in Massachusetts

feed young chicks heavily overlook
the fact that they are kept very warm
in the broodhouse and they do not re-
quire as heavy feeding as if exposed
to the cold.
Young chicks also begin to feather
as soon as they are two or three days
old which is weakening. Brahma and
Cochin chicks do not feather so rapid
ly as some other kinds, but it is usual
ly the case that quite a lot of TIE
chicks perish from rapid feathering.
There is no remedy to prevent this
difficulty except to reduce the food
and not feed oftener than three times
day, using meat and little linseed
meal and portion of bulky food. It
is never necessary to force chicks be-
fore they are eight weeks old, as they
will lose more weight than they will
gain, and there will also be less liza.

Administering Medicine

In administering medicine to sick
poultry, how can I know what is a
dose? w. d. B.
A teaspoon holds about one fluid
dram, a tablespoon half a fluid ounce,
and wine glass two fluid ounces. A
drop is larger with some liquids than
with others. For instance, water has
about sixty drops to a teaspoonful or
dram, and laudanum and all other
tinctures and alcohols have one hun
dred and twenty drops TO fluid
dram. Commonly speaking, what
would be considered the dose for
child is about right for fowl. A two
weeks old chicken will need as much
medicine in day as six months old
child. At six weeks it would require
the same sized dose as would be Civ,
en- year old child; half grown fowl
as much as a two year old child, and
an adult bird as much as a four year
old child Ohio Poultry Journal.

Fattening Turkeys.

Successful Rhode Island growers as
a rule feed their turkeys from start to
finish on northern white flint corn,
which they grow themselves. They
take great pains to use nothing but
well-seasoned old corn, because they
ell trouble, which is more to be feared
in turkey than any other fowl, and
is liable to be fatal, so says Farm
Poultry. Darrhoea seems to be more
prevalent among turkeys than any
other. disease, and bird that gets
sick is very apt to die. Foraging in a
fielu of green oats may give them
diarrhoea and cause much loss Tur-
keys not only like northern flint corn
best and fatten best on it. but it
makes their flesh more tender, juicy
and delicious. That given the little
ones is coarsely ground and mixed
with sweet or sour milk, or made into
bread that is moistened with milk
This is gradually mixed with cracked
corn, which, when they are about
eight weeks old, is fed clear or mixed
with sour milk. In the fall whole corn
is given. Turkeys which can be given
full liberty from the first on a dry
pasture lot, and after a few weeks al
lowed to roam and roost wherever they
choose, thrive the best if they escape
accident or enemies. Two turkey-hen
mothers and their broods will then
generally join forces apparently for
other enemies. Where they cannot

Forcing Chicks Rapidly.

One of the results sof brooding
chicks in the brooder is that they
feather very rapidly and the pullets
mature much sooner than when they
are Matched under hens and run at
large. In fact, young pullets raised
in brooders have been known to begin
