PEHNYPACkER TO
GIVE TESTIMONY
Former Governor of PennSyI-
vania to Go Upon Stand in
Behalf of Capitol GrafterS.
EXCUSES FOR SANDERSON
MIGHT HAVE ROBBED STATE OF
MUCH MORE.

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. 1.-THE trial of
the capitol conspiracy cases was re-
sumed today. Following the precedent
of his associates in their opening
speeches for the defense, counsel for
former Superintendent of Grounds Shu-
maker laid all responsibility for alleged
Irregularities in connection witlfthe fur
nishing of the capitol upon Joseph NJ.
Huston the architect. Following the
argument the defense began calling ex-
perts to refute the testimony of the
commonwealth that the measurements
were falsified. Former Governor Pen
nypacker is to be called as soon as
Sanderson's experts have been heard.
Evidence OF Designer.
John Kaufman of Philadelphia, a
designer of furniture, who was in the
employ of Sanderson when the latter
was given the contract for capitol fur
nishings. testified to the measurements
of the sixty-five sofas mentioned in the
Indictment for the purpose OF showing
that Sanderson did not charge for as
many feet as he might have under his
contract. According to Kauffman's tes-
timOny, sofa for which SandersOn
charged the state $3.50. 40 as containing
q feet. actually measured 64A surface
feet and could have Leen billed at
$1,1S2.20. A table measuring two feet
six inches long and two feet six inches
wide, for which Sanderson charged the
state $64.40, according to Kaufman s
testimony, contained twenty-three ~sur-
face feet" and should have cost the
state s423.20. Sanderson furnished the
state clothes trees at $3.50 each as
containing one and a half feet. The
revised measurements made by Kauff-
man show each tree to contain eight
and half feet surface feet" and each
should have cost the state $15640.
Should Have Collected S13o,631.55.
Kaufman said the sixty-five sofas,
thirty OblOng tables, twenty-fOur oval
tables, fifty round tables, seven square
tables and fourteen clothes trees
mentioned in the Indictment measured
1880 square feet. At the various per
feet prices" charged. Sanderson could
have collected Sl30.631.55 according to
the witness. SandersOn charged the
state S49.4i7.S0.
Mr.. Kaufman said the famous boot
black stand in the senate ldvatory, for
which the state paid Sanderson 81, 619. 90
measured 641s square feet. Sanderscn
sold this stand to the state at the rate
of $3.50 per foot"
According to Kauffman's measure
ment the contractor should have col
lected s1.1S5.S0 instead of 81 $500. The
state charges that SandeTson paid
sub-contractO only $125 for the stand.

GARDEN NOVELTIES.

Beans, Tomato and Squash - New
Types Of Improved Quality.
AS the result of various experiments
made in breeding operations with such
vegetables as snap beans. summer
squash and the tomato, the following
points, among others, are given by the
New Jersey experiment station.

the wax type of snap beans.
The Jones' Stringless is medium
sized bush plant with white flowers,
bearing early it's medium long, round,
curved brittle, stringless wax pods,
which produce at maturity seeds of
medium size The mother of the cross.
Golden Eye, is medium sized bush,
with long, fiat pods, slightly curved
and somewhat stringy, bearing white
seeds, excepting golden colored ir-
regular belt around the eye, from
which the variety takes its name. From
the cross of these types secured in

white seeds grown during 1906 and
the larger area for 1907 gave both

size and earliness and always with
white flowers and seeds. The pods
were straight or slightly curved and
medium fiat, with superior brittleness
and but a small amount of stringiness

Grain Food For Chicks.


Oatmeal is probably the best grain
food for chicks. Oats cannot be suita-
bly, prepared, however, in common
feed mill. The hulled oats are what is
wanted They can be purchased as
the common rolled oats or sometimes
as cut or pinhead oatmeal. The latter
form would be preferred, but either OF
these is an excellent chick feed Oats
in these forms are expensive and
should be purchased in bulk, not in
packages. If too expensive oats should
be used only for a few days. when
they may be replaced by cheaper
grains. Cracked corn is one of the
best and cheapest chicken foods. Flax
seed meal could be used in small guam
titles. Kaffir corn, wheat. cowpeas-
in fact, any wholesome gran-may be
used to advantage Farmers possess
Ing feed mills have no excuse for feed
ing chicks exclusively on one kind Of
grain. If there is no way of grinding
grain on the farm, oatmeal. millet seet
and corn chop can be purchased. A
about one week of age whole kah
corn and little later whole wheat cal
be used to replace the more expensive
| feeds.-Oscar Err, Kansas.

abundant. Remember that currants. II

crop and satisfactory results generally,
but are an eyesore and annoyance

hellebore thrown over the dew wet
bushes will leave no chance for the
worms.
The Gooseberry.
AS soon as the leaves are well start
ed on gooseberry bushes cut out all
the nonstarting or sickly looking canes
and burn them In this way you may
destroy many horers. to the benefit OF
your plantation. Gooseberries are es
pecially subject to attacks OF the cur
rant worm When branches are more
than three years of age they should bt
removed to make way for younger
wood. 1t is advisable to cut out ai
branches which touch the ground. a
there will then be better circulation
of air, and the fruit will be kept OF
the ground. Gooseberries will oftel
begin to bear the second year afte
planting.
