BOARD OF FINANCE
Ma Ysstadly lld nade UD to Esd-
 mltes For Year 1907.

The board of finance met yesterday afternoon and finished up the esti. mates for 1907. Quite q good many changes were made and while some will be disappointed the public will be pleased to hear that the rate of taxation will be less than 1t was this year. The commissioners recoln- mended that the proposed South End fire house be built next year, but no provision was made to furnish 1t, 50 that 1t will not be put in commission until 1908. The board turned a deaf ear to the hint from the aldermen for an advance in wages for the fire men, but the way was made clear for another police sergeant. The Bron- son library gets $3,OOO and $11,OOO is mentioned for new cemetery ard $10,OOO for collections and disposal of garbage. Voting machines are pro- vided for and Liberty street stands d fair show for a new bridge. After agreeing upon what they considered really necessary, the commission started in to do some figuring and found that it would require levy of IA 7-1O to meet what has to be raised by direct taxation, one mill less than the levy of last year. The whole budget as recommended to the alder men is as follows:

THE POLICE COURT.
John Shea Fined $25 and Costs in
 the Chicken Case To-day.

The continued hearing in the city court to-day on how Patrick Moriar- ty of 40 Baldwin street lost thirty of his chickens Tuesday evening did not throw much additional light on the cases against Garrett Savers and John Shea charged with theft of the said chickens. Savers and Shea were defended by Attorneys Slavin and Reilly. and Attorney Lynch assisted the prosecution. Moriarty said he identified the chickens in Sayers's saloon window. He had no particu- lar way of identifying them. but he was positive they were his. He watched them In the window some time before he made demand upon Savers for them. He said that Say CTS acted the part of a man all through the affair. Savers said he had paid 90 cents a piece for them and Moriarty could have them by paying him that sum. Edward, Mo- riarty's son. was positive the fowl were his fathers. One of them was his own pet rooster and the bird re- sponded to his call and the whole flock in the window. excepting a few that did not belong to his father. wanted to go to him.
 The defense was that Shea bought the chickens from . farmer who turned out to be James Murphy; a saloon keeper on Bridge street. and who also owns e farm in Mixville. Murphy testified that he gave twen- ty-nine chickens to Shea and James O'Connell to sell. They were to pay him IS cents a pound and he under stood the birds netted eighty pounds. He had not been paid for them this morning. The case against Savers was dismissed and Shea was fined s25 and costs.
 Mary Durham vas committed to Brookside for thirty days for intoxi- cation. James Hurley was fined g5 and costs and William Hoar s7 and costs.

DEATHS AND FUNERALS.
We'll Known People Who Have Beer
 Called Away.

Michael Cronin. one of the oldest of the old time Irishmen who came to these parts in the fifties. died this morning at his home In Plymouth. where he lived the past fifty-four years, . credit to himself and his family and the country he came from. His age was along in the sey- enties. but he was spry evertheless. He was of the old school of sturdy lrishmen. great reader and student of history. but the story of his own land was dearest to him. He worked in the building of the Hartford. Erie 6 Providence road. now known as the Highland division. Almost ev- cry office within the gift of the peo- pie of Plymouth he was honored with for he was respected by all. Time and hard work. however, forced him to retire on his humble laurels twen- ty years ago and he took up his home on a farm which he had bought some years before. He had gradual ly been adding to his property until now 1t is one of the largest in the town. Mir Cronin was a life long republican and was very fond of tell ing of campaigns Of years ago. He leaves six children. Samuel D.. Mich- ael F., Timothy l.. John J.. Mrs Johr Grimm and Miss Catherine Cronin. The funeral will take place from the house at 2 o'clock Monday morning and from the church of the Immaeu- late Conception in Terryville at 10 o'clock.

MISCELLANY
Ice on the Farm.

Ice is one Of the great luxuries Of
modern times, and is fast becoming
necessity. Its use has many phases.
II Is exceedingly valuable in the dairy
all through the summer, and by its
help the enterprising farmer Is able
to put on the market higher quality
OF milk, butter and cream than would
otherwise be possible. Ice enters into
the problem OF food preservation, and
the farmer that has an abundant sup
ply OF 1t can indulge in the luxury Of
fresh meat much oftener in the sum-
mer than he otherwise could. The
farmers wife always appreciates the
advantage of having ice that she can
use as she wishes In her culinary op-
erations.
Ice is one of the things that is
easily obtained on most farms in the
North, but 1t requires some work to
secure it. However, the time of ice
harvest comes when no other harvest
can be gathered. Many of our farm
ers have ponds that are large enough
and clear enough to provide first
class quality of ice. Where the farmer
lacks such pond he can generally
buy his ice from some neighbor at
cost of about ten cents ton, he to do
the cutting and hauling. The inhabit-
ant in the city pays all the way from
| IS to 81 per ton for the ice that Ia
| delivered at his door. The aggregate
cost to the farmer, including cost of
hauling, interest on value OF building
for storage, packing material and pack.
ing should not be over so cents a ton.
We are glad to know that many Of
our farmers have built first-class Ice
houses and every year fill them with
enough ice to last till cold weather
comes the following year. The best
Ice houses are those that are square
and as near cube as possible. In
such house ice may be SO packed
that 1t will present the least possible
surface toward the outside, and will
produce the least possible lateral pres.
sure. The walls must be we'll built,
to prevent the bullying of the building.
A building that is very tall will permit
the ice to sag to one side and this
will cause the bullying of the building
on the side against which the ice
comes. We have seen such buildings
with great props against them to pre-
vent still greater damage.
In building an ice house for farm
use, few principles need to be OBJ.
served. The first of these is to give
perfect drainage. The house should be
either on an eminence and have a nat
ural drain, or 1t must have tile laid
to carry off the water as fast as 1t IL
made by the melting Of ice. II water
is permitted to accumulate, 1t causes
the more rapid melting and consequent
loss of ice. The walls of the house
should be built double, to give good
sized air space. The packing of thu
ice should be carefully done. as this II
a very important factor in preventing
the melting of the ice.

Buy Glover Seed Early.

Usually clover seed is sown very
early in the spring or even late in the
winter. In northern localities ii is sown
on the snow in March and further south
is put in in February. The clover
seed should be purchased a consider
able time before it is used so that
it may be tested. This. testing
should be done by counting out a
hundred seeds and placing them be-
tween damp wooden cloths inclosed in
reversed plates to keep in the mois-
ture. If the termination is low new
lots of seed may have to be pur-
chased, and this is the more reason
for buying the seed early in the win
ter. Also the testing is more likely
to be done If the seed is purchased
early than if it is purchased late. The
late-bought seed is too apt to be scat
tered on the land without the far
mer knowing whether it is fairly
good or not. If it fails he does not
know whether the failure is due to
poor seed or something else.

In the making of farm experiments
great care needs to be exercised to have
all possibility of error eradicated.
Many of the so-called experiments car
ried on on farms are really not expert
ments at all. They are so carelessly
conducted that no scientist would ac-
cept their conclusions Such an ex-
pertinent is that in which the farmer,
to test his land or manure, puts the
fertilizer on field but has no check
plot with mo treatment" He makes
comparison with what the field did
when the fertilizer was not used. It
should be evident to him that any
increase of harvest may be due to
something else than the fertilizer.
Such experiments mean little or moth.

new, although told by old Ma-wa-nee
many times before, and this is the
story she related:
Many, many moons ago, when
was little girl, there lived on the
banks of the Platte a mother bear and
her two children, Spike and Spangle.
Both little bears were mischievous,
bit Spike more so than his sister.
The mother bear, when the cubs were
two years old, sent them to school,
where they were taught many things,
just like you children are over at
the agency.
One day Spike persuaded Spangle
to play truant, and hide in the green
woods until time to go home All
through the hours of school they ram
hled up and down the Platte, climbed
trees, that grew on either side of the
canon, and enjoyed themselves.
Having escaped school so easily
one day, Spike proposed to Spangle
next morning that they try it again,
and they did. On this day they ar
ranged to go farther up the canon
and visit another little bear, who
didn't go to school. So, following
along, like Indians do. the two cubs
trotted over a well-beaten path, and
were laughing and talking about how
they had fooled their mother, when
a4aat once, without moments warn
ing, Spike disappeared, and Spangle,
hurrying up to see where he had gone,
soon followed
They had fallen into a bear-pit
No sooner did they land at the bottom
than they began to growl and make
all the noise possible, hoping to at
tract Alteration from some neighbor

1t has not been believed that iron
in any form is what we might call a
real fertilizer in the soil, although we
know that iron gives the color both
to the soil and to all the plants pro-
duced upon It. There are some ex-
perimenters, however, who believe that
iron sulphate is itself fertilizer. One
of these men is a Belgian, who has
been making some experiments on
oats and other cereals. He applied
$50 kilograms of iron sulphate, and
by it produced the same effect on
oats as did $50 Kilograms of nitrate of
soda. In addition, many weeds were
destroyed by the iron sulphate. The
author attributes the general effect of
the iron sulphate solely to the iron,
and not to the sulphuric acid. We are
sure, however, that most of our eX-
perimenters, at least those on this side
of the water, will be very slow in ac-
cepting the conclusions of this eX-
perimenter. While iron does enter
into the formation of plants, yet it is
to very limited extent. The advan-
tage resulting from the application as
recorded may be due to some other
element rather than to the application
of iron

The Help of Machinery,

There was time when the farmer
worked all by himself small farm
and found 1t profitable to do all of
his work by hand. Had there been
machinery at that time. 1t would
have possessed little value for him,
as he could not have disposed Of his
surplus for enough money to pay for
his machinery and leave balance
on the transaction The transport by
sea was then by sailing vessels and
the transportation over the land by
means. largely of OK teams. We can
not imagine the great grain crops of
today being moved by such means.
If great grain crops had been raised
the grain must have fallen in value
till 1t would not have paid the cost
of raising, or much of II would have
nodded in the bins. With the prog
ress of the world came the neces-
sity for the use of farm machinery
The motive power on the water
changed to steam and great barges
were constructed with enormous car
rying capacity. These could carry
the grain around the world at small
cost per bushel. On the land hun
dreds of lines of railway opened up
the country, and train-loads Of grain
are now moved in any direction night
and day. 1t is no longer possible for
community to produce so much
grain that it cannot be shipped out .
The commerce of the world will take
all the grain the farmer can grow.
1t is therefore necessary for the
farmer to take advantage of the ex-
istence of machinery for farm use +.
The price of grain has fallen greatly
from what 1t was a hundred or SO
years ago, and each acre of land
must therefore be worked at a less
cost than formerly. This the farmer
can do only by the use Of machinery
and the more improved the machin
cry the less per acre is the cost OF
handling the land. Every farmer
should therefore study the machine
question and learn If he is using fair
| ly good machines, or whether be is
using machines that are expensive Of
labor and effective to less degree
than should be found in farm ma
chimes. 1t Is sometimes cheaper tC
throw away an cid machine than it il
to keep it.

A Question of Locality.

The practice of Opening up the
tops of apple trees is followed by s.
G. Soverhill, of Northern Illinois. Mr..
Soyerhill has been or harding in that
locality for about f'fty years. The
practice is condemned by Edison Gay
lord of Iowa, who has been orcharding
in that state for fifty years. Both men
have had so many years of experience
that 1t is not probable that either is
making mistake regarding the prac-
tees allowable in his vicinity. But
this brings us to the appreciation of
the fact that conditions enormously
differ in different localities separated
by only few hundred miles. We
would like to receive communications
from our leading horticulturists in diff
ferent states and different localities Of
the same state relative to the amount
of sunscald in their neighborhoods and
the general practice of heading trees.
The amount Of sunscald existing in
a neighborhood does not seem to de-
pend on the latitude. Mr.. Gaylord has
accurately defined the process when
he says that 1t is due to the break
ing up of cambium cells by the alter
nate freezing and thawing But there
is something more in it than this, for
sunscald seems to be worse in the
colder parts of the states than in the
warmer parts, though even in the lat
ter some freezing and thawing must
go on. We would like to know how
far south sunscald is experienced.

before them: and owls, crows and
eagles, hawks, and all kinds of birds
that live along the Platte and its
tributaries. Just how many wild ami
mails were there do not know. but
have heard it said among them were
bears, wolves, foxes, mountain lions,
badgers, elks, coons and deer, all
drawn together, like one great family,
with no idea of harming each other.
The coming Dark Moon had brought
Them the first to appear during their
existence.
"'This Dark Moon is to last all
night, l hear said coon.
YES replied mountain lion
Spike and Spangle, and the little
neighbor bear, were among the last
to leave, and, so it happened, no one
went their way. Off to the right they
knew lay their home, and with Spike
in the lead they were soon trotting
along, up one hill and down another,
now scaling canon, by the aid of
scrub pines, to which they chung, and
occasionally tumbling head-long, they
made their way, until splash! they
fell into the Plate.
"They had lost their bearings. Lit
tie Spangle growled and whined, as
girl bears do, but Spike and the neigh
Dor bear cheered her up, and assured
her they would soon find the way out.
But they didn't find their way, and
all night wandered in the woods, and
climbed more hills. Then came the
sun-peep, but they were many miles
from home. 1t was almost noon when
they reached the end of their journey.
"The mother bear had been out
hunting them and when she was told
of the visit to the view-cliff, up the
canon, she was angry, and growled a
great deal, And she did more, too.
She took all three little cubs into the
den and closed the door. One at a
time she placed them across her knee
and oh! how she spanked Nor did
she forget to spank the little neigh
Dor bear"
This ended the story of old Ma-wa-
nee and the little red children crept
out Of the tepee and were gone.
Outside the north wind scurried
along, Gathering the reach-poles over
head; the great snow-clouds had piled
higher, and old Ma-wa-nee shivered.

Lenuth of the Horses Foot.

If horses foot is too long 1t in.
creases the fatigue of the horse IL
using it. 1t requires an increased
amount of energy to lift and advance
this foot There is also an increased
tendency to interfere. The habit OF
keeping the hoof long has been fos
tered by dealers because this lends
style to the horse, as it requires more
exertion in the lifting of the foot
If the farrler is allowed to do as he
thinks best, he will cut down the foot
to the natural proportions. II the
owner is wise, he will not preveni
him from doing this.
