son, an authority on everything per-
tanning to the hen and It's product. Mr..
Benson Is the general manager of this
gigantic concern, which will be the
biggest In the world.
In recent lecture Professor \. a.
Brigham, of the Rhode Island College
Of Agriculture, at the Poultry Expert
ment Station. Kingston, said:
"1o make an industry of the chicken
and its product is not a question of
the market, which can always be had.
1t Is not the expense OF keeping. which
Is always low. 1t Is not question
of profit, which, IL properly conducted,
Is large. 1t is the question how to
reach and conduct on business scale
large herds Of hens, the chicken busl-
ness OF to-day being merely home in
dustry. Something, therefore, must
be done to make hen raising national
business on a business scale"
This will be accomplished. says Mr..
BcnsCn. at the ManasQuan egg farm.
Under his system any number of chick
ems can be hCrded. Instead of allow
Ing them to run a. large and mlnglc
freely. as of old. picking their food
from all kinds of refuse, they are to
be divided into colonies Of not above
thirty hens. Each colony will have
Its own reservation, kept In hygicnic
cleanliness and order, and separate
and isolated at all times from the
others
This makes feeding Of each fowl
possible to insure the greatest product
ivencss, with. rs experience has proved,
an average yearly yield of two hun
drcd eggs from each hen. The sec
ond advantage of the segregation of
the fowls is that should a chicken by
any chance become sick or breed YER
min, the trouble cannot spread beyond
that one reservation before It is de-
tected: hence there can be none of the
cpldemics which have sometimes
played havoc with the fancy stock
fowl on chicken farms. Moreover, the
new system permits the Immediate
Identification of any hen failing IN pro
ductlvencss, and her prompt replace
mcnt by one able to keep UP to the
high average.
The system includes the extensive
use of several patents. which bring tn,

Synopsis Of Grand Jury Report.

To HONORABLE J. c. RICH, JUDGE:
We have diligently inquired into and
carefully considered eight different
complaints, charges aud accusations
alleging public oifenses against the
state of Idaho and triable in this
county.
Ia the course of our duties we have
examined - witnesses aud some of
them recalled one Or more times. We
have presented one Indictment to the
court. Ignored four of the charges or
complaints aud have made the other
three subjects OF comment tn this re-
port
In the matter of the charges against
". G.. Ellis we find that though in
many respects good officer, he has
frequently been guilty of conduct unbe-
coming law abiding aud peaec main-
tainiug official.
CHARGES VS.. y. II. CLARK, CO. ATTY.
After careful examination into the
charges preferred against MIR. Clark,
We find that they have no foundation in
fact and are uutrue.
| On the contrary, the evidence pro-
duced has convinced Us that Attorney
Clark Is a conscientious aud painstak-
iur public officer and we believe that
the character of this branch OF our
county government and the good name
of the officer who presides over 1t has
been unjustly assaulted. We have sought
the motives which prompted the ac-
cnsers of Attorney CLARK. Mr.. J. Ed
Smith aud Others, to make these ciare-
es. aud 1t is our undivided opinion that
they we're iustigated In malice and 10
crafty private spite.
CHARGES VS.. SHERIFF cLYNE
II In this matte we find that while the
evidence does not justify an indictment
or A specific charge, yet his Office de-
manes an Immediate and radical re-
form. We find his manner OF keeping
the books and records OF the Office to be
very lax, wanting in system, illegto'e
and uniuteligible. That the keeping
NJ amid books aud accounts was entrust
I'd entirely during the greater part o.
the expired term to Deputy b. A. JENNIE

proaeb upon that department oil the
