GREENMLlE Girl DIES BY ACCIDENT.
While Removing Articles From Her Trunk the
Weapon Discharged, Piercing Her Heart.

GREENv1LLE, Sept. 6.-Miss Lucille
Haddon, a beautiful young woman about
10 years of age, daughter Of Mrs. Sarah
E. Haddon, who keeps boarding house
on North Main street, met death in 9
most shocking and tragic manner early
this afternoon. She was shot through
the heart by the accidental discharge Of a
pistol which evidently fell to the foer
while she was removing several articles
of clothing from trunk.
Miss Haddon had only few minutes
before returned from shopping and while
out she bought bottle Of gasoline to
clean skirt. -
She went to her room and few NOM
ents later the report of a pistol was heard.
When members Of the family reached the
room the young woman was lying on the
floor gasping for breath. She never
spoke.
No one was in the room when the ac-
cident occurred. The bottle Of gasoline
was on the floor near the body and .
smoking revolver Of 41-calibre was near
the trunk, which was open and from
which the unfortunate girl had removed
several garments.
Miss Lucille was Of sunny disposition
and she was in her usual happy humor
today. The pistol was gift to her two
years ago and she always kept it in her
trunk.
There is not the least ground to sup
port q suicide theory.
The Haddons are well known and high
ly respectable people and live in very
desirable section Of the city.
Mrs. Haddon, mother Of Miss Lucille,
has been a widow for number OF years.
She supported herself by keeping board
ers. The dead girl was a great help to
her mother in running the house.

their color materially. In most Of the
American markets fat fowls with a

that Mr.. Cook started out to produce
a fowl with the above qualities In
this he was successful.
The fact that the Buff Orpington Is
most popular here has given rise TO
the impression that there are very few
of the other varieties bred in this
country. This Is mistake. The Sin

fowls turned on it as soon as it is
green, or the ground may be simply
left to be purified by rain. air and sun
and then dug up. Where grass runs
are used rest for the ground is even
more important to allow the grass to
absorb the whole of the manure and
to keep it in healthy growing condition.
The expense involved by the use Of al
ternate runs will be amply repaid by
the enormous gain in health and pro-
ductiveness of the stock and its immu-
ground.

HANDLING MANURE.
Method Followed on n Highly suc.
cessful Dairy arm.

The writer has seen few farmers
who had no apologies to make for their
methods of handling manure. He has
seen one, however, who believed he
was getting every particle Of value
from the manure 1t is possible to get.
The farm in question was a dairy
farm. and the methods used are not
applicable to all types Of farms. Tire
cows were kept in their stalls the year
round. Every day in the year they had
either silage or green stuff from the
fields. They also had enough dry hay
to keep the manure from being too
washy and what grain they needed.
Behind each row of eight COWS was q
ditch eighteen inches wide and eight to
ed thoroughly every morning after
milking hours. After the cleaning a
small quantity of wood ashes was
sprinlllcd in the ditch to dry it. Then
q layer about one and a half inches
deep of rotten sod or leaf mold was
added Next morning the contents Of
the ditch We're lifted into cart by
means of forks, and the cart went i'm
mediately to the field, where the ma
nure was scattered. In exceptionally
bad weather the ditch was sometimes
left for two days.
This method may not be applicable
to all dairy farms, but 1t is the Ideal
to be followed as closely as circum-
stances will permit. 1t gets both liz
uids and solids on the land. If any
teaching occurs. let it be into the soil.
where the teachings will do the most
good.-W. ]. Spillman.

operations of dressing avoid cutting or

Care is required in the case OF the
heavy fowls in picking and handling 20
prevent bruising the skin. In packing
fowls use neat. clean and as light pack

barrels holding about 200 pounds meet
these requirements best. Boxes ar"

PEDIGREE BREEDING.
This IL Next TO Impossible Now With.
out Trap Nests.

Ped gree breeding by the use of trap
nesu IS occupying the attention OF the
best breeders all over the world and
Wit ut question Is the coming system
for the production Of the best in stand
ard and practical qualities Of the diff
ferent breeds of domestic fowls. The
strain that produces highest uniform
quality is the one that pays best. not
the one that occasionally produces a
choice specimen. but the average quail
ty Of which is far below what might be
desired for good breeders. Uniformity
when found in conjunction with the
best quality is point that all fanciers
are striving for, and it can be best and
most easily attained by having an ac-
curate knowledge Of the breeding value
of every specimen used in the breed
ing pens. There are many breeders OF
pure bred fowls who are compelled to
sell their breeding stock at less than an
average of 81 per fowl because Of the
poor average quality Of the birds raised
each season, while others who have by
careful selection and n system OF pedi-
gree breeding been enabled to produce
a strain of uniform quality and indi-
yidual merit have no trouble In selling
their surplus breeders at an average
price of s. or more per fowl. 1t is
quality the buying public wants. and
in the great majority Of cases they are
willing to pay a good fair price to the
man or woman who will produce the
goods they are looking for. The breed
ing that pays is the breeding that
the largest degree produces the quality
that the purchaser is after, and care
less methods cannot fill the bill.
