FINDS WILLIE DUNN NOT
LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE

Coroner Lincoln also in a report filed
in the office OF the clerk OF the superior
court today holds that William Dunn is

ter's death was due to drowning and tho
testimony before the coroner was to the
effect that ne and the Dunn boy were
wrestling on the James A. Potter wharf
on Saturday. Aug IL and Conway went
over into the river and was drowned.
Coroner Lincoln says in his report that
while the death of Conway was due TO
the act or neglect OF Dunn. as the latter
is but years of age, he is not RESPONSE
bic TO the law. The finding of the coro-
ner,is as follows:
After hearing the testimony and re-
viewing the same, | find and certify that

the 18th of August, 1907. at the James A.

Cultivation of Strawberries.

A fine toothed cultivator that will
stir the soil from four to six inches
deep should be run at frequent inter-
walls during the summer, especially if
the season is dry. AS soon as the run
ners begin to spread the weeder must
stop and only the cultiyator and hoe
be used The cultivator should be run
the same way in the row each time, so
that the teeth may not catch into them
after rooted and pull them out With
the rows four feet apart the plants can
be allowed to root over a space of two
and half feet wide, leaving a walk of
one and a half feet The plants should
be encouraged to root as evenly as pos
sible over this space by placing and
covering the tips from four to FIVE
inches apart.
After these beds are covered with
plants treat all others as weeds, ad
yises a writer in New England Home
stead. Surplus runners that grow out
into the walk can be very quickly cut
off with the runner cutter. but those.
in among the rooted plants must be

REARING LAYERS.
An Expert Poularynsn Tells Hose This
Can Be Done Successfully


Can Be Done Successfully.
IA II. Rankin has the following words
of wisdom Ia the american Agricul-
turist concerning the difficult problem
OF rearing chicks designed especially
for development into persistent layers.
When the chicks first scoHae out of the
shell, / leave th6m in the calculator till
the last matched is twenty four hours
old, then remove to lbrooder with
temperature OF 80 degrees, the brooder
floor being first covered with thin
layer of sand and one inch of cut al
falfa, and give grit and water two
hours before feeding. | feed dry
grain chick food containing 20 per
cent chick grit and per cent small
granulated charcoal. The brooder is
cleaned every day by sitting sand
through IA <c0rnmea1 Sieve Beef scraps
are kept before them after they are
four days old This is their feed till
they are six weeks old, when they are
given free range and are fed but three
times "a day, corn being mixed with
their food one part cracked corn, one
part wheat, three parts ground oats In
bulk with fine meal sifted out | all
ways feed in a litter to keep them
busy.
When they are four months old,
feed one part corn, one part wheat,
one part barley and two parts oats
three times a day with coarser char
coal in the same proportion or fed In
hoppers always before them. At five
months old / begin feeding one part
corn. one part wheat, one part barley
and two parts oats three times day
with coarser charcoal in the same pro-
sportion, or fed in hoppers always be-
fore them, with green stuff OF some
sort always near. Steamed cut alfalfa
and cabbage are best in winter. In
rearing laying chickens it is most i'm
poItant to keep them growing all the
time and always busy. Nothing ever
up In idleness.
By following the above regimen and
attending to proper cleaning of the
chicken houses, destroying all injurious
vermin, insects ETC., and using scrap
meats exclusively, have reared chick
ems that have no superiors in laying

records, wanting eggs only from Nov

would be, Resolved, that the national
grange and the state oranges should
seek only such legislation as directly

For instance, direct nominations, the
initiative and referendum, election of

tiers of such nature which affect all
citizens and not farmers in particular

The Cause of Wrv Tails.

The cause of wry tails is obscure. but
is attributed to an injury to the hip or
some part of the rear of the body.
which causes a deformity Examine a
wry tailed chicken after dressing it
and you will usually find. we think,
that it is a deformity of some part of
the body. usually Of the hip. that
causes it. 1t has been argued that
such defornities are caused by over
crowding in the brooder or being
crowded into a cramped position for
several hours when the bones are soft
and plastic. This, however, is theory
only.

JUVENILE ORANGES.
On What Their Success Mostly De-

Juvenile oranges succeed and juvenile
oranges fail. And yet the experiment
of their organization is worth making.
If they fail, in nine cases out of ten it
will be because of inefficient oversight
OF course you must have good material

tween the ages of eight and fourteen

nate grange, and there is no reason
why the juvenile grange should fail
indeed there is great reason for ac-
complishing a most excellent work. 1t
does fit the young people for intelli-
gent and helpful membership in the
subordinate grange. 1t gives them
something to do which will broaden
their interests. It trains them in the
conduct of public meetings and in par
liamentary usage, and socially it may
be made instructive as well as enjoy
able. Times and places for meeting,
whether at the same time as the subor-
dinate grange in an adjoining room or
at some other place and time, are mat
tiers that give considerable trouble. If
such problems can be satisfactorily
solved, one serious objection to the
young peoples organization is over

worthy Of careful consideration.
