|Ch0 OF THE PRUlTT CASE
OWNERSHIP OF HOUSEHOLD GOODS
NOW IN CONTROVERSY.
The Case Il Being Tried i'm the Circuit
Court-News from the Lo-
cal Courts.

Judge Allen. of the Circuit Court, is try
ing some litigation that grows out of the
Pruitt murder case, which occurred several
months ago on East Ohio street. The crime
was a shocking case of wife murder and
suicide.
The question before the court is the dis
position OF the household goods in the pos
session OF Mrs. Pruitt at the time of her
violent death. The administrator Of her
estate is suing the administrator OF her
husbands estate for possession of the
goods. IL appears from the evidence that
Mrs. Pruitt kept a boarding and rooming
house. and most of the evidence thus far
is from people who roomed at her house
In order 10 prove her death, the policeman
who went to the scene of the murder was
put on the stand yesterday afternoon, and
described the position Of the bodies OF hus-
band and wife. Judge Allen excluded any
further evidence relating to the actual
murder. as it could have no bearing on the
present suit

A Poultry Pest.
Springfield Republican.


One of the most disagreeable pests that
annoy young birds and ultimately cause
the death of many. if not checked. are the
lice. They will appear in such numbers
that the birds will droop and die but not
a louise will the owner be able to find. Yet
this should not convince him that the birds
are not suffering from the pest. II is bet
ter TO take the birds and hang them up
and grease them thoroughly. Lard or
kerosene will accomplish the desired result
in short order. Some advocate not using
either of these on the turkeys until they
are a month old, but il the birds are at
tackled severely by the lice, it is much safer
to protect them in this way than to let
them stand their chances with the insects
Lard is safer for the young turkeys than
kerosene, and il will accomplish the pur-
pose intended. Frequently the lice appear
on the young turkeys before they are a
week cid, and by month they are half
killed by them. Melt some lard in a tin
and with a soft toothbrush ii is possible
to spread the grease over the wings, feath-
ers of tail and body. so that the lice will
all be killed. This should be done every
few weeks up TO the middle of August Il
the lice are very numerous or Troublesome
and after that time you will have little
trouble with them. Turkeys that are kept
free from lice will grow almost twice as
fast as those afflicted by the insects.

HOthOuse Lambs.

Correspondence Rural New Yorker.
There is probably no branch Of farming
that affords higher percentage of profit
than the growing of dollhouse lambs,
and also none more generally misunder-
stood. The adjective dollhouse" is to
blame for this. for 1t conjures up visions
of steam pipes and bottles of pap, which
hardly describe the conditions under which
they are raised. The correspondent has a
flock of seventy-eight Dorsets ewes, most
ly one-half bloods. raised from ordinary
Merino mothers. His first lambs were
dropped on the last day or two of October.
and by the middle of December he had
seventy-two.. They required no more atten-
ton at lambing time than if it were March
or April While the lambs are with them
the ewes are fed all the corn silage they
will eat in the morning. AT noon they get
of equal parts of bulk of Gull beans and
oats, usually a little less than one and
one-half pounds apiece. and also a little
corn fodder fairly well cared At night
is an essential, the grain may be varied.
Under this treatment the ewes are In con-
siderably better flesh when the lambs are
sold than when they are born. After the
lambs go they are carried through until
grass on straw and cornstalks. with a few
beans to keep them good-natured and fur
nish little protein.
AS soon as the lambs are two or three
weeks old they are ready to begin eating
on their own hook. Then fence of a pen
with openings large enough to let the little
fellows in and still keep out the old folks.
AT first he feeds mixture of about one
fourth oil meal and the remainder equal
parts of bran and cornmeal, By bulk.
After ten days or two weeks when they

quantity. he begins feeding whole-shelled
corn. and from that time on the two feeds
can take their choice. The result is that
they eat larger and larger amounts of
corn and less and less of the mixture as
they approach the weight for shipping. A
lamb forty or forty-five pounds weight
will make away with pint of shelled corn
a day. besides what he gets in the mix

Spraying Formulas.

Indiana Farmer.
Our contributors TO ibis department
manifest woeful lack OF experience in the
subject of making and Using insecticides
Not one of them has contributed a word
on the subject, although VIE have several
readers in mind who have had considerable
experience in the use of insecticides in
their orchards. One of them makes his
living and much more from his orchard
entirely and owes his success largely. If
not mainly, to the use of spraying mix
lures and the sprayer. AS the subject
has been announced thousands of our read
ers will be watching this column to post
themselves in the use of sprayers and the
compromising of mixtures, and we must
not disappoint them. We therefore copy a
number of spraying recipes from different
sources, with time and purpose Of their ap-
plication.
Bordeaux Mixture.-Copper sulphate, four
pounds: fresh lime (unslaked) four pounds;
water, forty gallons. Care should be taken
that the lime is of good quality and well
burned. and that it has not become air
slaked. If only small amount is to be
slaked it will be best to use boiling water.
and the lime should not be allowed to be-
come dry while shaking.
This is for fungus growths, leaf blights,
rot, rust, ETC., and should be used before
the buds open. After the blossoms have
IaIlen ado quarter OF a pound of paris
green to the barrel. The solution will then
destroy the Goblin moth and other insects
that may be present. On apple trees it
should be used while the apples stand erect
enough to bend downwards the poison is
or less effect. Spray twice after blossoms
fall on apples and plums. Once will do for
cherries.
Kerosene Emulsion-This is the best
known remedy for use upon soft-bodied or
scale insects that suck the sap. 1t is made
from kerosene, water and soap, either hard,
soft or whale OIL.
soft soap until it becomes liquid; remove
from the fire, add one pint kerosene and
agitate freely for from three to five min
uteS, or until 1t forms a cream-like emul-
sion, from which the oil does not separate
upon standing. This is stock solution
and can be kept for any length of time
ing to the condition of the trees and kinds
of insects. For scale insects it is desir-
able to spray while the trees are dormant
after diluting this stock solution so that
there will be one part of kerosene to three
of water. but if it is applied for the same
class of insects while the trees are in leaf
the amount of water should be at least
seven or eight times as great as of the
kerosene in the stock solution.-MichigaI
Agricultural College Formula.
This is for plant lice, worms and slugs
For gooseberries and currants use white
hellebore, one ounce TO five gallons OF
water. Use the Bordeaux mixture fol
potato blight, and Paris green for the
striped bugs.
The best spraying pumps cost from $1t
to So with barrel. cart, and all fixtures
but successful spraying can be done with
much cheaper sprayers, If care and pa.
thence are used. They require more time

Chicago by this element, cannot be thought
of without alarm, and other cities are
equally at the mercy of those who pay no
taxes. Now, to correct this growing men
ace will correct all that is really dangerous
the ignorant and the incident nontaxpay-
ing negro from the voting question, and all
that is left will adjust itself in a short

amendment of the national Constitution.
That such an amendment would receive the
approval of enough States there can be no
reasonable doubt, while but few IL any
States could amend their own Constitutions
so as to cover the whole case. 1t would
compel more uniformity in election laws,

Everyone interested in physical culture
was delighted with Mr.. Moran who

Yours very truly,
EDWIN l. KILBURN

The Bellows Falls Locals opened the
season last Monday, playing a practice
game with the V. A. boys at Saxtons
River. 1t was an easy victory for the
Locals as they completely outclassed the
V. A. boys at every department. of the
game. The Local team was greatly sur
prised in finding the V. A. team so mex
perienced but prospects are good for a
fine team later this summer. The Local
team was greatly strengthened in the
box by having Hermon noar, Cushing
academy's crack pitcher of two years
ago, who had the V. A. boys at his
mercy. The special features of the game
were the battery work of Hoar and Cray
and the hitting of the Local team and
Cray's throwing the second and the
playing of Stitt for V. A. at third. The
two teams were made up as follows:
Locals-Cray C, Hoar p, Frost Id, Nc.
