"The most important point in rails
ing Sebrights is to have the germ
of the egg as vigorous as possible.
Many breeders complain of low per-
centages of fertility and of weak sick
ly chicks. The Sebright chick is,
normally, a hardy, vigorous little fell
low and it is not the nature of the
birds that is to blame for the poor
matches and weak young stock but
the methods employed in breeding
them
The breeding stock should be mat
ed, when possible, in trios or at the
most with but four hens to an adult
cock. Unless some very important
point is gained no cockerel should be
mated to pu11ets that are related to
him. Select the best "all around"
birds available and leave inbreeding
alone
Young Sebrights, like young tur-
keys, are very susceptible to extremes
of weather, either hot or cold. A
long duration of damp, rainy wealth
er will often kill dozens of the little
fellows and intense heat weakens
them to a great extent. The best,
and in the end the most convenient
way to raise the Sebrights is to allow
them to run with the mother hen in
an enclosure that has several inches
of good sharp sand in it. A small
weather proof coop should adjoin the
run so that at night and during storms
the young stock may be thoroughly
protected Sand is an excellent alb
sorbent and, moreover, dries quick
1y so that no pudd1es are left after a
rain.
"When matured the old stock needs
no special Accommodations, any house
in which Leghorns and Plymouth
Rocks viii thrive answers admirably
for them. All that is necessary for
their health and comfort is cleanli-
ness and protection from the weather
and now a few words concern
ing the ideal Golden Sebright of to-
day. The American Standard de-
mands "Go1den yellow" bird with a
narrow 1acing of glossy black on all
the feathers. The under color must
be dark slate so as to give the de-
sired color to the 1acing. The comb
Of the cock is of medium size, bright
red rose. That of the hen is a pur-

peculiar appearance. Watt1es are we'll

"The carriage of the Sebright must

and slightly backwards with tail we'll

"Every breeder of either spang1ed,

knows how difficult it is to breed the

to bring to perfection is the lacing.

Motto. OYerruled.

The law court Monday handed
down a rescript in the celebrated
Somerset county automobile case of
Frank P. Towle versus Edwin M.
Morse, overruling the motion of the
defendant for a new trial.
The plaintiff and his sister were
riding in an open wagon drawn by
one horse and discovering the canopy
top of an approaching automobile in
which the defendant and companion
were travelling, they gave the statu-
tory signal by raising the hand for the
automobile to stop. The defendant
disregarded the signal to stop and ran
the automobile out on the highway
two or three rods into a dooryard.
The plaintiff was thereby induced to
believe that he could drive along in
safety, but the automobile unexpect-
eddy turned and re-appeared in the
highway directly in front of the
plaintiff, frightening his horse and
causing the injury of which he com
plains.
The law court rules that the de-
fendant's thoughtless inattention UNI
der the circumstances stated was a
failure of duty on his part toward the
plaintiff and the proximate cause OF
the injury, and that verdict in favor
of the plaintiff was warranted by the
evidence.
Motion overruled.

Alden Russell.
In Memoriann

The sudden death II Mr. Russell on
the noon OF Dec. 4th, came as great
surprise TO many Of our people. He
had been in his usual health till the
evening Of Dec. I'd, when he was TAX
en- sick with acute Indigestion. Be
ing a man Of advanced years. nearly
eighty FIVE, he was unable to combat
the disease. For several years he haA
been afflicted with an organic trouble
with his heart.
Mr.. Russell was born in Brighton,
Me, Feb. I'd, 1923. He was the second
child in large family. For the past
eighteen years he had lived on small
farm on the Malborn Mills road,
where he died, tenderIy and thought
fully cared for by his devoted wife
and children,
1t was in Cornville that he spent
the major part of his life. He was a
prominent farmer in this town for
sixty years. He was always vigor-
Gus, Industrious man and was very
active till the close Of his life. His
son, Horace b., now lives on the old
farm in Coruyille.
He leaves a widow, two sons and
two daughters. The eldest son, Geo.
E., has home in Carroll, Iowa. A
daughter, Mrs. Frank a. Bell lives at
Los Angeles, California. The second
daughter, Mrs. L. c. Robinson, with
whom Mr.. Russell has recently spent
two winters, has been living for sew
eral years in North Arson. The sec
ond son, Horace B., continues 10 live
on the home place in Cornville.
A brother, Charles H., and sister,
Mrs. Frances Emery, lives in Brook
line, n. II. In Oregon is another
brother, Augustus. A sister, Mrs.
Myra Stinchfeld of South Scion, was
able to be present at the funeral ser
vices. There are six grandchildren.
Mr.. Russell was man of marked
character. His integrity was un-
questionable. AS a neighbor he was
thoughtful and helpful, and ever
ready to aid these in need He was
of an exceedingly cheerful DISPOSE
ton. He was also quiet and reserved
in manner; he loved his home and
was a generous provlder.
The end was not unexpected and he
came to it with a prepared mind.
The widow and children now CRATE
fully acknowledge the kindness of
the neighbors.
The funeral services were held at
eleven O'Clock, Dec. 9Th, at his home,
the pastor of the Bethany church,
Rev. George Merriam officiating.
Mrs. Dunton and Mrs. Bragg sang
two beautiful hymns. The interment
was in Cornville.
