The game was by long ODDS the most
exciting that has been played In the

Princston football player finally hoied

enthusiastic cheering, and Hartman was

congratulate him. For the first time

American born golfer holds the honors,

United States. Harriman's work with
the irons during the morning play was
pronounced the prettiest seen during the
tournament, although the medal score,

Douglass earlier In the week. But Harri-
mans playing was marvel of steadiness
and although Douglass almost invari-
ably out drove him the difference was not
enough to materially Affect the result,
and the Meadow Brook mans approaches
and work on the greens forced Douglass
to play the of in nearly every instance.

HAD TO MOVE OUT.
A cioudburst which Drenched a Con-
neticut Town.

Torrington, CT. July Slower Ger
msntown, suburb OF this place. is to-
night so badly flooded as the result of the
unprecedented heavy rains of today that
half of Its residents have been forcsd to
leave their homes and spend the night
In that portion of the place called Upper
Germantown, located on q hill. Fully
20 acres of land are flooded with watar
TO an average depth OF two ana one-half
feet and In places 1t is much deeper. The
cellars and first floors of third of the
% odd houses in the place are badly food
ed and every other house is more or less
damaged by the water. 1t began to rain
at ii O'Clock this morning and the water
came In torrents for over an hour. There
was then short letup only to be fol-
lowed by an almost continuous rain
throughout the rest of the day with a
downpour that seemed like a cloudburst.
Throughout the day the water rushed
down the hill from Upper Germantown
in a stream eight feet wide, making it's
way along the main street and flooding
the settlement called Lower Germantown
below.
The water filled the cellars and contin-
ued to rise rapidly until In many cases IL
had made Its way into the first floors of
the houses and converted as acres Of land
into lake three feet deep. Fowl and
small livestock were drowned and barrels
and small articles foated about. AS
the water continued to rise during the
affaFn0nFa ha ~ a.
their way to Upper Germantown, while
the men remained behind removing fur
uiture and articles of value to places OF
safety.
"A small wooden bridge over branch OF
the Naugatuck river was carried away
at 9 p. m, and Fred Koss, a 10-year-old
boy, was thrown from 1t into the water
and carried down the stream for hun
dred yards where he was caught between
two large stones. He was rescued BY two
men and is in a critical condition, having
been nearly drowned and badly bruised.
The whole front foundation of house
owned by William Buyer, Just at the foot
Of the hill, was washed away ana tine
building Is in danger of toppling over.
Four other small wooden bridges over lit
tie streams were washed away, but no on
was injured.
A large open lot near the electric light
station seems to have borne the brunt of
the storm. In places over six feet square
the earth was literally gouged out to a
depth Of two feet.
In Torrington the roads are badly
washed and basement stores are flooded
with water. Some streets are impossible.
The high roads between here and Wlnsted
are washed out and the meadows have
been converted into Ionds.

Fresh Water for, Fowls.

If food is not furnished the hen in
her own domain, she will go hunting
and soon find enough to keep her busy,
but she is not so successful in getting
water to drink. The farmer or>his wife
will usually provide some feed, but
"biddy'' many times takes her chances
to find water. Yet chemists state that
81 per cent. of the egg is water. In view
of this, fowls to lay well must be fur
nished with an abundance of fresh wa
ter. Drinking vessels should be thor
oughly cleansed every day, and if pos
sible so made that the hens cannot
stand in them. In winter these drink
ing vessels should be emptied at night
to prevent freezing. It is advisable to
give fowls q warm drink in the morning
when they first come from the roosts,
as at this time they usually drink free
". If you will practice this, the hens
will come for water an quickly as tor
feed. Maine Farmer. ISL n n

Keep the Calves Separate.

In my experience, the hest way to
grow calves when you want them to do
their own milking is to not let them
run with the cow, but let them take the
milk night and morning, having a good
pasture for them near the barn or shed,
where they can come into the barn dur
ing the heat of the day. Have trough
there and put in fair ration of ground
oats and corn and it will not be many
days until they will have the trough
licked out nice and clean for you every
morning. Then keep right on with your
feed and you will not have to wean your
calves, but will have to wean your
cows, and by the time your calves are 16
to 20 months old they will weigh from
ten to twelve hundred pounds and will
bring you the top of the market. Short
horns are what I am talking about.
Your COWS will be in much better condi-
tion in the fall and will be more apt to
bring another calf next spring.-Wal-
lace's Farmer.

PACKING BOX COOP.

front, we nail strip four inches wide
down the center and tack fine wire net
ting, f, over one side. A second strip
is put over the first to cover the edge
of the netting, and to leave room for a
groove for the sliding door, g, on the
other side. This may be either of wood
or skeleton frame made and covered
with netting. A groove must be made
in the box for the other side of the
slide. Nearly all the boxes come with
well-stayed corners, so this is not diff
ficult.
Paint the outside, roof and all, to
prevent the cracks from spreading. Or
the roof may be covered with roofing
paper or cheaper still with tarred pa
per, which will last a season or two.
These boxes vary somewhat in size,
but they will hold from Is to 25 chick
ems till they are pretty well grown,
and as they are strong and well built
they will last many years. - Orange
