A ROOSTER DISPUTE
How Ownership of the Bird was Set
 tled-Unique Plan.

A frivolous dispute over the owner ship of a rooster arose in East Hartford and got into court. Mrs. Scrobenia, neighbor of Leon LeCourt, was accused of stealing the bird and JeCourt swore out warrant for her arrest.
 Evidence pro and con was offered and disputed. and Judge Goodwin was in e quandary. The possession of his rooster ship was finally left to his own volition. It was agreed that Mrs. Scrobonia should release the bird when she returned to her home and if he did not liko Mrs. Scrobonia's corn and went to Mir. Le Courts coop the bird was to be his, but if it fancied its new boarding place by staying around Mrs. Scrobonia's coop, it was to be considered as prima facie evi- dence of her right to have and to hold it as her own.

IA BOTTLE 0F MILK
FROM FARM TO THE CREAMERY
A Canaan High School Boy Describes the Various Processes Through h Which the Milk Passes Before Reach ing the Consumer.

The following story was written by a pupil attending the Canaan high school:
 Many people of New York do not know what it means when they buy a bottle of milk It means that the bottle of milk came all the way from Central New York Cor some state bordering on it) in one of the large refrigerator cars, which make up the special milk trains which run to New York and back each day.
 If you should go to a farm a few miles from some small town early in the morning you would see a boy leave the house and cross the fields, disappear, but very soon reappear, driving herd of cattle, which he will drive into the barn and fasten in their stanchions. By this time you will see the men leave the house and go to small building quite distance from the barn and return with pails to milk in.
 They then take their stools and commence milking. When they have a pail of milk it is taken to the milk house where 1t is strained and put in- to 40-quart cans, which, after they are full, are put into vat of water and ice and when the milk is cooled to about so degrees F., then it is loaded into wagon and taken to creamery.
 When the team arrives at the creamery the milk is unloaded, strained and poured, where the milk is weighed It then runs into an- other tank into the next room, where i. is pumped up into a large tank; where it is thoroughly stirred by means of an agitator. The milk is then run through separators, which separates from the milk any dirt small enough to have gotten through the strainer. The milk then runs into a large tank and 1t is ready to be bottled. In connection with most creameries there is a laundry where the mems white overalls and jackets are washed each day.
 The milk bottles are washed both inside and out with hot water; then they are rinsed in cold water and placed in large tanks where they are sterilized. All clean bottles are kept covered After the milk is bottled and sealed it is put in boxes and covered with crushed ice. It is then trucked into a refrigerator car and after all the milk is in the car the boxes are covered with ice to the depth of six or eight inches. This ice keeps the milk cold until 1t gets to New York and is loaded on large wagons which take the milk to diff ferent parts of the city, where small CT wagons come and take it to the doors of the people who wish pure and unadulterated milk w.

Demand for Canaan Doughnuts.

They are the large, round, savo- ", ld-fashioned sort. the kind that the city grub factories don't build and it is not to be wondered that the demand keeps up for doughnuts that go down.

Antique Cheese

Twenty-Five years ago last week Mrs. George Bushnell of Lakeville made a cheese and put it carefully away until it could ripen for future use. The years rolled by and still the cheese remained untouched until last week, MT. Bushnell proposed cutting it. This was done, and it was found to be the real thing in the cheese line. While somewhat stronger than is usual in cheese of the present day, it is still perfectly eatable, and the family have been eating 25-year-old cheese which to say the least is a very unusual incident. MT. Bushnell says he thinks the cheese would have kept forever, and in ages to come might have been found by some ex- ploring geologist who would have pronounced 1t a relic of prehistoric ages. To save all this trouble and keep posterity from wondering whether it had found an old-fashioned grindstone or a prehistoric car wheel the cheese has been cut and eaten.- Journal.

The Telephone Contest

The buying of buildings to use as telephone central offices over in Mil lerton seems to be contagious. The Pennington Valley Company bought a building there few weeks ago and now the Hudson River folks are to centralize in the old bank building, lately purchased by Mrs. Walsh. It is strenuous war that is being wag- ed between the independents and the old companies and the former are causing the latter considerable wor- riment. The public have not forgfot- ten the independent methods of the old companies in York state when they had no opposition and this rec election is working to the advantage of the new companies.
