four barrels Of water, five sacks Of wheat
and q mash composed of three sacks Of
coarse 1niddlings and forty pounds of
either cut green bone or ground fresh
meat, which is mixed with skim milk
that has been allowed to sour. On big
ranch it takes from a. m. until II o'clock
to complete the feeding and watering, and
sufficient quantity is put out to last
twenty-four hours. Seventy-five hens are
roasted in each house, and the houses are
built on runners.
The colonies are from 400 to 500 feet
apart and the hens being well supplied
with feed, are content and do not wander
from one colony to another.
An interesting feature of this open COL
ony system is that each fowl knows and
goes to unerringly its own particular coll
ony house for roosting at night.
No man is considered professional
poultry raiser about Petaluma unless he
keeps at least a thousand hens. AnotlleG
way of keeping the fowls is in a contine
uous row Of houses with wire-inclosed
run-yards attached; but the scattered coll
ony system seems to be the favorite, and
is also the more healthful and gives bes-
results in fertility and vigor.

the several hotels of the city, being
escorted from the mill to the hotels by

Nearly Killed by Electricity.

Ed Perica, lineman in the employ
of the Owosso e. Corunna Electric
Company had narrow escape from be-
ing killed by electricity Tuesday while
working on one of the com pany's poles
on Corunna avenue. AS it was the
shock was sufficient to throw him from
the pole to the ground distance of
twenty feet. The current which he re-
ceived was supposed to be one of about
five hundred volts.
AS Perica was about to descend the
pole he either touched a live wire with
his steel spur or else received the shock
from a telephone wire which had be-
come crossed with the wire of the elec-
trio company. He had slight burns on
his hands where they evidently came
in contact with live wire, and his face
was dark from the blood which the cur
rent CONCEALED. Otherwise, aside from
severe bruise on his side where he
fell on wrench which was carried in
his belt he seemed to have escaped.
Since the accident he has been doing as
we'll as could have been expected and
has nearly recovered.

Beet Sugar Notes.

The cooper shop that supplies the
Caro- Sugar Company with barrels is
now run under separate management,
Fred Myers having contracted to supply
the factory with 1000 barrels if
necessary.
Cass City residents are making great
efforts to secure sugar factory and at

purpose Of such concern,
A new machine for pulling sugar

1t is a simple contriyance, and with
seemingly no trouble whatever, man.
ages to yank out two rows of beets at
time. 1t isj said to be great labor
saving device.
The residents of Fowlerville are
making efforts to have sugar factory
established in that village. Already
capitalists have proposed that if the
residents will subscribe $50, 600 in stock,
give site and secure the pledge for
8, 200 acres of beets, a $500, 900 plant will
be erected. At recent meeting the
deliberations lasted until after mid
night, during which time large
amount of stock was subscribed
|! 1t is said that the sugar beet industry
has brought about large increase in
the value of farm lands. Many farmers
who offered their farms for S3, 900 and
"a, 600 three years ago, at the present
time would not take three times these
amounts.
The aggressive movement on the part
of the sugar trust to harass the beet
sugar industry does not produce very
happy effect on the part of the people in
general Many strong statements have
been made during the week by those
condemning such proceedings. 1t is
believed that the trust has long hard
battle to face, if II undertakes all that
has been planned.
The Alma Record says: Last Sunday
was the banner day at the sugar factory,
515 barrels of granulated sugar being
turned out.

Three young men residing north of

Saturday night. The men, VIM. An

fifty cent piece which was accepted by
the clerk but sent back as being coun-

who was acting as cashier. The clerk
who took the money insisted that it
was all right but Mr.. Bullard refused
to take it. Anderson said it was all the
money he had with him and that he
would get the goods some other time.
Young Freeman volunteered to give
him two quarters for the fifty cent piece,
saying that the money was all right
and that he could get rid of it. but after

money to Galloway. Galloway went to
the store of Roger Peca and purchased
ten cents worth of tobacco, giving the
fifty cent piece in payment and re-
ceived his change. He was hardly out
of the store before Mr.. Peca's daughter
discovered the money was not good and
she Immediately demanded the change
back. Galloway refused to comply
and as result officers were called and
the young men were arrested Freeman
not until the next morning as he had
gone home. The boys were taken to

bound over for trial in the u. S. Court
All gave bail in the sum of 5000 each.
Atty. Odell Chapman looked after the
interests of the men at the examination.
1t does not seem to be claimed by
any one that the mer are guilty of coun-
terfeiting. The most that can be said
is that they attempted to pass the money
after its genuineness was in question.
