The State board of pardons has
declined to recommend the pardon
of Charles Zissett, convicted in this
county several years ago of murder,
and it is not likely that the governor
will pardon him. We congratulate
the board on it's action. From the
testimony in this case, Zissett de-
served to hang, and it is nothing but
right that he should serve his SEN
tence. It will be remembered that
the jury found him guilty of murder
and he was sentenced to be hung,
but Governor Ellerbe commuted the
sentence to life imprisonment.

Raising Ducks.

The most frequent troubles with
ducks and geese Is vertigo. They drop
down on their feet or fall on one side
suddenly, at times recovering as sud
denly or dying Immediately This hap
pens only when ducks or geese are fed
too much grain. The best prevention is
to make their feeding ground a pas
ture, where the grass is short but abun-
dant, and let them get more of their
subsistence for themselves. They will
require but little food after warm
weather comes, as they are then well
over the laying period becoming nom
producers The nonproducers should
have no grain. There is a saving in
expense and there will be fewer losses
occurring from Diseases Poultry

Color of Eggs.

At the California Agricultural Tx.
pertinent Station, the chief object in
making chemical examination of
brown-shelled and white-shelled eggs
was to determine whether there Is any
superiority of one over the other as
to quality. The test shows that the
shells and their color have but slight
effect on the food value of the eggs.
1t has been said by some that the
brown eggs are richer than the white
ones, but this statement is not borne
out by a chemical analysis, and the
physical examination proves that the
main points of superiority, though
slight, are possessed by the white eggs.
The minute differences that are found
between the two groups are exceeded
by variation between varieties within
the same group. 1t may be stated that
there are practically no differences so
far as the food value Is concerned be-
tween white shelled and brown-sheIied
eggs.

Thorough and frequent cultivation is
regarded by many as the best mulch
for spring, summer and fall, which in

quadrupeds, such as hogs cattle, horses

both birds may use them In common.

A Chicken village.

On the road from East Auburn to
Turner there is a novel sight, a chicken
village, it may be termed, for at the
side of a well-kept farmhouse there is
a village Of perhaps dozen little white
peak-roofed houses, and the house
nearest to the road is built to repre-
sent a church. The steeple is as per.
feet as if the tiny building were really
intended for place Of worship. These
miniature houses are nothing more or

MILLIONS OF TREES PLANTED.
Work of the Past Year on Upstate
Forest Reservations.

Work of the Past Year on Upstate
| Forest Reservations.
The planting time on the state for
est reservations for the year has closed
and operations in the field are sus-
| pended, although a corps of men is
maintained at each of the three nur
series, says the Utica Press. Begin
ming In 1905, the state has planted on
barren tracts several million trees On
one plantation alone, that on the line
of highway three miles north of Paul
Smiths the state has planted 1,000,-
900 young trees, of which 100000
white pine were brought from Ger
many.
At Lake Cedar is planted a forest
of 300 acres, while another toward
Saranac lake embraces 400 acres. On
the two there have been planted up
ward of 5000 trees;of each of the fol-
lowing varieties: White pine, Scotch
pine, Douglas fir, European larch and
black locust. They range in age from
two to. four years and thrive so well
that only about 10 per cent have been
lost, either in the, long droughts of
the summer or the cold weather of the
winter.
Near Saranac Lake, on the Lake
Placid road. is a new forest planted
by the state commission. The work
was begun in 1905, when 100000 trees
were set out, and the paintings of each
year since have been 100000 trees.
The plantations of the forest are
along well-traveled highways and at
tract the. attention of tourists who
journey through the region either in
motor car or coach. The ground
on which the planted forests stand
was denuded waste, cleared by repeat
ed forest fires until 1t became as clear
of logs as a cultivated field. Tall ferns
or brakes had grown each year from
the soil, and here and there a few pop
lar trees had started from seed carried
by the wind and cherry trees from
seed carried by the birds. Left to It.

Preservfng Meats.

A method OF preserving meat has
Deen brought out In France by H. de
Lapparent which seems to have met
with considerable success. 1t can be
also applied on small scale for
household purposes, says the Scientific
American. The principle consists in
exposing the meat to sulphurous acid
fumes. BY burning small amount
or sulphur in receptacle containing
the meat hung up In place 1t can be
preserved for several days, even In
summer. There Is no taste left from
the sulphur fumes, and there seems
to be no danger TO health Such n
method can be used also on a large
scale for preserving meat for army
use as 1t Is quite simple and easy to
apply In practice. From experiments
made on large scale 1t appears that
the meat fumigated with sulphur did
not contain more than % grams (340
grains) Of sulphurous acid gas per 100
Kilograms 600 pounds) OF meat, which /
Is on the order OF ten thousandths !
rhe meat should be fumlgated as soon
rs possible after killing, and prefer
IDLY on parts which have no cut bones.

HOME MADE MIXTURE.
SAID TO BE INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY
PREPARED BY ANYONE.
Is Said to Promptly Relieve Backache end
Overcome Kidney Trouble and Blad- !.
der Weakness Though Harmless
and Pleasant to Take.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from New York daily paper, giving
simple prescription, as formulated by
noteu authority, who claims that he
has found positive remedy to cure
almost any case Of backache or kidney
or bladder arrangement, in the follow
ing simple prescription, if taken before
the stage of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake we'll in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated that
the ingredients are ell harmless, and
can be obtained at a small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixture would be put up asked to do
so. He further stated that while this
is often prescribed in rheu-
matte affections with splendid results.
he could see no reason why it would
not be splendid remedy for kidney
and urinary troubles and backache, as
it has peculiar action upon the kid
ney structure, cleansing these most i'm
pcrtant organs and helping them TO sift
and hitter from the blooi the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sickness
and suffering. Those who suffer can
make no mistake in giving it trial.
