the scores somewhat lower than they
would otherwise have been.

ing and was won by Company K of
Wallingford with a total at both ranges
of 415. This is the third year in sue
cession that Company K has won the
Colonel Barber cup, and it now becomes

The suspect is William ~Trypt, thirty
years of age He had high fever and
said he came from the government

hospital at Cairo, III.
In regard to the case, DR.. Starkoloff
said: Il have made thorough exam

presented to me makes the case to be
one of the ordinary intermittent fever.
If it is yellow fever it is of a very mild
type shall have the patient sent to
quarantine and take all necessary pre-
cautions"
Two hundred clerks, with their fami-
lies, employed in the general offices OF

what Does This Meant

A perusal of the history of railway trans
actions during the past four years shows
us that this period has been the most dis
astrous, from financial standpoint, of any
circumstances it would almost seem as
though the further development or inn
provement of railway facilities must cease.
Yet, strange to say, many notable instances
prove that the contrary is true. In numer-
Gus instances frst-class roads, despite the
hard times and general business depres
sion, have made very decided advances, not
condition of the roadway itself, but like
wise the equipment and service. And the
public has been great gamer by the pub
lie spiritedness of the roads.
One of the most notable cases of rail-
way development is the Nickel Plate Road,
which seems to have forged right ahead
with its improvements and has exhibited
an unrelenting determination to give the
public the best possible facilities, in spite
of the hard times. And how well this cor
poration has succeeded in it's laudable eff
forts, the excellent condition of its system
bears ample evidence. Yet the secret of
this success is obvious. The people have
responded very generously to generous
effort to give them the worth of their
has enabled the road to better its facilities
in every respect; thus the work has been
of a mutual and reciprocal character. The
liberal patronage accorded the road has
brought handsome return to the people
in the shape of improved facilities for
travel, yet at the same time at lower rates.
And now, it seems, the Nickel Plate Road
is still engaged in further efforts to serve
the people well. 1t has high-class roadway
to begin with; most excellent equipment
to end with, and a safe, fast and reliable
service for the delectation of it's patrons.
All in all, it offers most attractive menu to
travellers bound east or west in the shape
of "a Peerless Trio of Fast Express Trains"

HINTS FOR FARMERS.

A good pedigree always adds to the
value of horse for any purpose.
The most economical management
of the manure is to haul out as fast as
made.
When wheat is sold buy back bran
and shipstuff enough to feed out the
straw.
- Hard work is not so apt to iniurs
horses if they receive proper attention
afterwards.
If pigs are to be kept through the
winter be sure that they have warm,
dry quarters.
There are some good butter cows in
all breeds, and they are even found
among scrubs.
The most clear profit in raising good
horses is in the fact that you have
raised them yourself.
Much depends on the nature of the
soil whether the blowing should be
done deep or shallow.
One decided advantage in having a
good even stand of grass is the certain
ty of good sod to turn under.
Under present conditions the farmer
who cannot supply comfortable shelter
cannot afford to winter stock.-Farm-

Dry-Picked Birds Sell Better Thaa
Z Those That Have Been Scalded.
The killing of any animal for market
is job that dislike. have very little
of the instincts of the hunter, fisher
man or butcher in me. And yet when
have to do some killing l go at it and
make the best of it, always trying to be
decent about it and to avoid the needless
infiction of pain to my victims. Dur
ing summer or fall usually ship and
sell my fowls alive. Capons have to be
killed and properly dressed. My favor
lite method of killing fowls is by chop
ping off their heads, and 1 adopt this
plan when the purchaser is willing to
take the fowls minus head and scalded.
Often, however, and always in the case
OF capons, the head must be left on.
Besides, nice fat poultry usually sells
at better price when dry-picked than
when scalded. 1t is not much more diff
ficult to pick fowl dry than to first
scald it. The process has often been
described. l first wash the fowls feet,
then hang it up by the legs, the latter
well spread. Next / hold the fowls
head with the left hand under the left
arm, and with a French killing knife
make long and deep cut inside of the
bill across the roof of the mouth, and
before withdrawing the knife run the
point up into the brain. The blood now
flows freely; the bird is paralyzed and
the feathers come out easily. I always
have small (two-quart) pail well
weighted ready, with wire hook at
tached to the pail. The wire hook is
inserted into the fowls bill. The pail
catches the blood and the weight inside
holds the fowls head down. An open
barrel is then placed under the fowl
to catch the feathers. Two persons can
thus work together to advantage in
stripping off the feathers. After little
practice one will easily learn how to
do the job well and quickly. With all
care, however, one will occasionally
tear the skin, especially on the sides
of the fowl. Have needle and white
thread ready and sew up the tear. 1t
can be done SO that the damage will
hardly be noticed. The suggestion to
have a separate room for this purpose,
to be used when not needed in this way
for storing feeds, crops and many 9TH
er things, and to be provided with q
stove or fireplace for boiling up pota-
toes and other vegetables for fowls, is
a good one and well worthy of adop-
tion.-Farm and Fireside.

Hens Should he Kent Bn.x.

Flying over fence on the part of hens
is matter of education. A flock in a
yard may be able to go over the fence,
but do not know it; they are afraid to
attempt it. But let one hen go over and
she will be found outside every day, and
will soon teach all of the others A fence
seven feet high is sufficient. If the hens
go over it they will also go over nine

human beings, it depends on how they
are raised. To keep hens from flying,

to do. Idleness is the cause OF all vices

One should always farm in such way
as to maintain the fertility of the soil.
If the farmer raises and sells off the

The time will come when either he or
those who come after him will find
themselves on poor, WORKOUT farm

and the farm will have to be abandoned.
The only road to successful farming lies
in keeping some kind of live stock to
consume the greater part of what grows
out of the soil, and carefully saving and
applying the manure.
The man who thinks his soil mex
