POUGHKEEPSIE, N. r., May Is.
The opening of the Thaw hearing
yesterday after many delays found
Thaw and his counsel and District
Attorney Jerome's forces equally
ready to hasten the issue to con-
clusion. Thaw's stay In the quar-
ters of the sheriff In the county jail
has been much OF relief from the
hardships of life In the Mattewan
insane asylum and the Tombs and
he appeared much improved.
Admission to the court was re-
stricted to persons holding passes is
sued by the sheriff.
Ast outlined In the Associated
Press dispatches last week. Thaw's
counsel contended that Justice Dow
ling did not conform to the legal re-
quirements when he committed
Thaw to the asylum. They claim
therefore. that he is being deprived
of his liberty without due process
of law. They ask Justice Nor.
schauer to first pass upon this ques.
ton before examining witness to de-
termine Thaw's present mental con
dition.

eight delegates to the republican
national convention were instructed
for Taft yesterday at the state and
congressional district conventions.
The three conventions were in alb
solute control of the Taft people, un-
der the management of Senator
Charles w. Fulton's friends. The
fight was whether Fulton could Sc
cure an instructed delegation for
Taft or whether Senator Jonathan
Bourne could secure an uninstructed
delegation that would support Sec
ond elective term for President
Roosevelt. The Bourne people were
defeated at every point in organiza-
tion, delegates and presidential elec-
tors. 1t was Bourne's desire to head
the delegation. Late in the after
noon, after the convention had pass
ed the resolution instructing for
Taft, Bourne wired from Washing
ton urging that the delegates be in
structed for Roosevelt and stated
that II otherwise instructed, he did
not wish to be delegate,
The delegates elected by the state
convention were Senator Fulton

SECOND choice
MINNESOTA DEMOCRATS ARE
FIRST FOR JOHNSON, BUT RE-
FUSE TO GIVE ANY RECOGNI.
TON TO BRYAN.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, May 15.--The
democrats of Minnesota yesterday
formally Endorsed Gov. Johnson al
the presidential candidate and at
the same time, but vote of 772 to
166, refused to declare in favor of
William ]. ryan as second choice.
The followers of Mr.. Bryan did
not carry out the threate which they
have 30 often made during the last
10 days that they would bolt and
hold a convention II their contests
we're defeated before the committee
on credentials or II they were not
able to secure partial Endorsement
of their leader. They made sturdy
fight for their man, and when they
had been overwhelmingly defeated
remained quietly in their seats and
made no motion to leave.
Several days ago they had gone
to the length of leasing hall two
squares from the Auditorium. in
which the convention Of yesterday
was held. for the purpose Of indors-
ing ryan and naming a contesting
delegation to Denver. The hall was
ready for them. but none OF them
went near It.
The johnson men were generous
in their victory, and declared In
their platform that while they en-
tertained an affection for and con-
fidence in the integrity and ability
of William J. Bryan" they believed
that johnson was a man better cal
culated to bring success to the DEM
ocratic party and was first entitled
to the support of Minnesota.
The convention was q fatterinG
tribute to Gov. johnson, and the en-.
thusiasm for him was unbounded.

HORSE sENSE.

Some Sensible Advice In Regard to
Collars and Their Use.
The closely padded, i'll fitting, soft
collar means suffering and shortens
the life for the horse.
Years ago l gave up the hot, sticky
pad" said an intelligent farmer, land
have used only the close fitting, hard
leather collar, which we have endeav-
bred to keep clean. This clean collar,
with Il good washing of the shoulders
noon and nights, has generally sufficed
to keep them free from soreness. Still,
during the constant use of the riding
cultivator in our cornfields the necks
sometimes get sore, caused by the
weight and the moving of the collar
across the skin at each step of the
horse. We are all inclined to use COL
lars too large for the horse. Much
pains should be taken in the first fit
ting of the collar and if 1t is thorough
ly soaked and placed on the horse
while still wet it will usually shape it.
self to the shoulders. Another thing,
we try to avoid too low draft The
way double harnesses are usually made
all the weight comes on the horses
necks, and there is a constant tend
ency to lower the draft even until it
comes nearly to the point of the Shout
der. This should be overcome as far
as possible. The draft should be high
enough to insure an even bearing the
entire length of the shoulder. and nei-
Their should the girth be buckled tight
enough to cause any draft on the top
of the neck, In fact, girth is unnec-
essary and need never be used except
where the traces are attached to the
load above a right angle to the horses
shoulders. Steel collars are in use near
us, and / am going to try a~pair this
spring. l think the principle is right,
and they strike me as being very con
venient"

hens are kept in an inclosure during
the egg producing season. Barrels laid
on the side with straw placed in them
make good nests.
after gathering them it is not best
to keep the eggs very long, but if there
is no suitable place to put them with a
hen they should be turned at least
twice a week.
81 give seventeen eggs to a turkey
hen. 1t is best if they can come off
while sitting to eat and dust as they
like. They may also be busted with a
good powder just before the young
turkeys come out. take them from
the nest as soon as possible, all but
one, to be left with the mother, so she
will not be uneasy. l keep them in a
box in the house until they learn to
eat and walk, They soon learn to eat
bread moistened with sweet milk
"The coops are then ready. These are
made of boards eight feet long about
three feet high at the front and two
and a half inches in the rear, being
fitted with good cover; also boards
partly covering the bottom, with a
door in each end This divided in the
middle, will make two good coops.
which will turn the rain. | keep them
in the coop with the hen one day, then
turn them in a pen made of boards a
foot high. The pen is about twenty
feet square Around this two feet of
poultry wire is placed to keep the
mother in; also to keep the outside
chickens from getting to scalp the lit
tie ones.
THE coop opening in this pen makes
it easy to change them around In this
way they get plenty of exercise and
will flourish if given cornmeal and
cheese made of sour milk four times a
day with plenty of fresh water Small
oyster shell is necessary. a small bit
of cayenne pepper mixed with the
cheese is a good stimulant.
after keeping them in the pen about
two weeks they are getting anxious to
find larger fields. The White Hollands
will wander and hunt, but nearly al
ways come home in the evening. They
soon learn to go in the coop. This must
be kept very clean. After feeding they
are shut in and kept till the grass is
dry in the morning. Always keep them
in when it rains. They cannot run in
the wet until larger.
when getting them ready for mar
ket mixed feed Of oats and corn is
good. Old corn is much better than
new"
way of controlling turkeys to make
them stay in a field is very simple.

The government horticulturist says
many persons with small lots may
plant what are known as dwarf fruit
trees. In proportion to size dwarf
trees are more fruitful than stand
ards" They come into bearing sooner
and are therefore of special value for
use in limited Enclosures or fruit gar
dens. Besides the advantage of dwarf
ing, grating may be turned to good
account, enabling the owner of trees
to Increase his variety of fruits. Sin
gle trees have been made to bear as
many as 100 varieties of apples.
If you set out fruit garden, take ad-
vantage of the space under and be-
tween the trees by planting strawhcr-
ries blackberries, raspberries, cur
rants or some other small fruit. vege-
tables may also be planted about the
trees
