For a Great Celebration.

1t is for US the residents of Milford, to
prove that we are not lacking in patrio-
tism. 1t has been limited in these col
umns that we are almost, devoid of that
love Of Mother Country which prompts
us to celebrate with the utmost enthus-
iasm such glorious days as the Fourth of
July.
II is an insult to the descendants of our
forefathers, who gave their very lives in
order that we might be free. Our hearts
are not of stone, and we will not fail to
meet the occasion by one of the grandest
celebrations this town has ever witnessed.
iii your breasts there still smothers
one spark of patriotism, make this re-
solve 81 as a citizen of Milford, will do
nv share to make the coming Fourth OF
July the greatest in the history OF Mil
ford
It isa grand privilege which no one
can dispute. We owe it to those who are
vet to e;butmost Ofallwe owe II to our
selves for on such times as these the
nobler sides of our characters are exposed.
WAYS and means are plenty. The one
thing that has been lacking is incentive.
From now on we must heap up public
sentiment, and on the Fourth of July
next let there be one grand display OF
combustion. Think, ne

FROM every view point the farm
ing class of this county is in better
shape now than at any period since
the civil war. More people own their
own homes and little farms more
are free from the yoke of bondage
inflicted by burdensome debts more
are becoming Independent each year
by making comfortable living for
their families more are waking up
to the necessity of giving their chill
dren better educational advantages,
and withal, prosperity and content

miIf0rd Farmsrs Discuss Poultry.

"Chickens" being the topic at the
Grange last Saturday, S. P. Griffith
opened the discussion by telling OF a
"Broiler Plant, he visited at Vineland,
NJ. 1t is run during the winter be-
ing closed half the year or more. 1t
has been in successful operation for
twenty. five years. All the outfit Is
homemade except the incubators.
Eighteen thousand eggs were set last
year. From one thousand to fifteen
hundred chicks are ia each brOOder-
house, and small oil stoves are used Tor
heating the brooders. An attendant
goes down the center and supplies the
chicks with food aud water.
Mr. Griffith has built a small house
on the same plan and has $50 chickens
two months old weighing on an average
three fourths of a pound. He does not
follow the same plan Of feeding that is
used at Vineland where they use sort
Of bread, but uses chick food and keeps
grit and charcoal before the chicks all
the time. After they are three or four
days old they have beef scrap. The
second month they are gradually
changed from the chick food to wheat
screenings and cracked corn. The birds
should be sold at the end Of twelve
weeks. To bring the highest price they
should weigh less than two pounds.
He estimates that the cost Of eggs, feed
and fuel to the time they are sold will
not be ever fifteen cents each. He
never feeds a mash to young chickens
nor laying hens as he prefers dry grains
and thinks them more along the lines
Of natural food.
William E. Hopkins is interested in
the raising Of eggs. He has his hens
yarded all the year and considers the
egg crop one Of the most profitable he
has. The hens need to be properly
cared for and the work done regularly.
He asserted that two hundred LeghOrn
hens well cared for, would average IS
good returns as twenty acres Of corn or
wheat or even five hundred acres Of
peach trees (Mr. Hopkins lit is well
known has a poor opinion of growing
peaches.) He feeds his hens mash
every morning composed Of bran, mid
dlings, and beef scraps At night he
gives them wheat and thinks there is
no economy in buying screenings. He
also feeds com on the cob and lets the
old hens do the Smelling.
Frank Jones has ga Rhode Island
Reds that have made fine egg record
all winter. Charles F. Phillips gave q
report of the expenses and receipts Of
his hens for 1907 and the profit is very
satisfactory. His hens like Mr.. Hop
kins are all yarded.
DIR. Ruhl feeds mixture Of all pro-
curableIgrains, using only little corn.

Papke to Give Ketchel
Another Chance
Offers Return Battle to the Man
From Whom He Wresfed
Championship

Billy Papke, Illinois thunderbolt and
middleweight champion of the world,
accompanied by Manager Tom Jones,
arrived from Los Angeles yesterday
morning, fresh from the scene of his
sensational victory over Stanley
Ketchel Both were at the Nelson
Cans fight and came in for great
deal of attention from the fans.
Papke says he is willing to give
Ketchel another chance, in this city or
anywhere else, but Joe O'Connor,
ketchefs manager, who came up on
the same train, informed Jones and
Papke that there was no likelihood of
his man fighting again before Christ
mas. O'Connor wants to give Ketchel
q rest to enable him to recover from
the lacing that the Illinois fighter gave
him Monday afternoon.
Papke says he will remain in the
middle weight class. He does not talk
eoat ghng tbs enr BnTns line Like aea Hs
nounced emphatically that he would
| not fight Sam Langford. 1t is the cham
pfon's intention to remain here week
or so. after which he probably will
return. to Chicago and accept theatre
cal offer.
Papke is a formidable fighter, though
not as husky as Ketchel. He is rather
quiet and reserved and let's his man
| ager do most of the talking. He bears
no marks of his recent encounter, but
| Is suffering from sore IeeL ana dp-
peared on the street in a pair of easy
| slippers.
A dispatch from Tonopah says that
several prominent sporting men of that
city are striving to raise a big purse
for meeting between either Owen
Moran or Abe Attell and Freddie
Weeks. Attell says that he is willing
to fight in the Nevada mining town,
provided sufficient inducements are Of
fered.
1t is announced from Los Angeles
that Ketchel is recovering from the
terrible beating he received Monday
He was able to leave the house yester-
day and go to the baths.

Several exciting finishes, reversals Of
form and an uproar of dissatisfaction
over the outcome of the final event
featured the matinee meet, of the San
Francisco driving club at Tanforan
dust covered the track and it was slow.
At times clouds of dust hid the racers
from view and made it difficult for the
drivers to handle their charges to the
best advantage. Notwithstanding this,
good time was made in several heats.
Albert S, a sorrel gelding. won the
second race in straight heats and was
the one best bet of the day. Several
close followers of the trotting game
cleaned up" on Albert S at to | In
the first heat. Four to five prevailed
thereafter, with many takers.
The last race of the day was de-
cided at dusk. Three heats Were neees-
sary to decide the outcome Billy Muir
ry. driven by +. L. Burton, took the
first making the circuit easily in
2:2e. Billy Murry crossed the wire In
fourth place. Then Billy Murry took
the third heat in 2:23.
When the result was announced after
the second heat a clamor of disapproval
went up from the spectators and the
judges stand was surrounded by. angry
bettors. The Golden West club PEN
oilers. who cut in with book early
in the day, meditated a long time be-
fore paying off bets. They finally paid
and then quit before the third heat,
declaring that they had voend been
bettors, while the judges Were mum.
Murry's inconsistent performance
seemed to have been the cause of all
the tumult. Hunky Dory,s showing
was severely criticised and the express
sion was general that the race was
shady. Summary:
