LONG LEGAL BATTLE OVER ITS
OWNERSHIP.
FARMERS Sons Arrayed Against Step
mother for Possession Of Fa-
theirs Estate-Contest Elk
tends Over Ten Years.

Littleton, Mass.-The question of
ownership of little church pew in
the First Congregational church. seat.
ing five persons, was the last obstacle
to be overcome in a contest extending
over ten years, and 1t has cost the op.
posing factions OF once happy family
not only the loss of much time, but
also large sums of money.
Tucked away on the side Of one OF
the many hills that abound in this
town is the estate left by the late
Theodore c. Fletcher, comprising
about 60 acres.
The late Mr.. Fletcher was held In
high esteem by all the residents Of the
town, and his example of caring in
good shape for his farm was well fol-
lowed by his stepson.
When he married the present Mrs.
Fletcher Mr.. Fletcher had two sons
by his first wife, Hammond and Daniel,
while Mrs. Fletcher, who was previous
to her marriage Mrs. Titcomb, had
two sons, Ora and Walter.
On the death OF Fletcher, IA years
ago, an agreeable settlement of the es-
tate was made.
The estate was to remain in the
hands of Mrs. Fletcher. while the two
sons bearing the name Of Fletcher
were given a money consideration and
relinquished all claims. The old family
pew in the First Congregational
church was to remain In the name OF
Fletcher.
The estate was valued at about
$1,000. About ten years ago Hammond
Fletcher. so 1t is alleged. became dis.
satisfied and. enlisting the support OF
his brother, put In the claim that they
had not received proper treatment In
the distribution of the estate A legal
fight was made to obtain possession
of part of It,
1t is alleged that their claim called
for more than the estate was valued
at. The matter was carried from one
court to another until 1t reached the
highest tribunal. The findings were al
ways for the widow, her fight being
handled by the son, Ora Titcomb.
The estate could not, however, be
legally settled until the ownership OF
the pew had been established. Some
time ago the widow, Mrs. Fletcher,
sold the pew to her son, Walter Tit
comb, for $50, and the claim was made
by one of the Fletchers that the pew
was worth $3.50.

DOGS ENJOYED MORPHINE.

Morphine was tried on a number OF
the homeless CANNES. They liked 1t.
After receiving their dose they went
into a corner of the dog pound,
yawned blissfully and-went to sleep.
Some hours afterward they awoke and
fawned about Dog Catcher McNab's
legs, imploring for some more of the
drug. McNab was kind and gave the
second dose, but when the dogs came
to life again he was thoroughly indig'
nant and alarmed because they were
costing him so much money in the
matter of purchasing dope" for them.
He appealed the case to the Humane
society. The society said, "Try chloro'
form"
Chloroform was tried. and to Nc
Nab's relief has proved as good as the
bullets In dispatching the dogs.

The Late Chicks,

Some of the best fowls on the farm
are from the late broods. We have
seen broods come out as late as Sep
TENDER and give birds that became
very valuable as layers. September
chicks of the Plymouth Rock breed
have begun to lay in February. The
early broods are easily handled, but
there are some things in favor of the
late chicks. One of these things is
the lack of insect pests, which seem
to be most vigorous and aggressive in
the spring. The late chicks should
be well fed II they are to be gotten
ready for the coming winter. A mixed
ration, with plenty of ground bone and
meat should be given from the time
the chicks are large enough to eat.
This will give a rapidity of growth
that will astonish the person that tries
II for the first time.

few years have offered wonderful inn

All farmers should own at least

HENS EAT INSECTS.
For This Reason They Are a Good
Thing on the Farm.

Movable poultry establishments are
coming into use on some of our farms
1t is probable that they are as yet in
their infancy, and that we are to see
more elaborate appliances for utiliz.
ing the idea.
l have often thought that It would
be a good thing IL the whole poultry
establishment could be moved about
the farm, says a writer in Farmers
Review, so that we could have the
fowls working over a pasture one
week, plowed field next, and perhaps
a WORKOUT meadow the next.
The amount of insects on every
farm make a rare possibility for the
feeding OF fowls. / notice that when.
ever we pillow field near the house
the hens turn out en- masse and dis.
tribute themselves along the burrows
and are extremely busy pulling out
angleworms and grubs from the
turned-up soil.
l can imagine that in case of a
breeding ground Of locusts being
plowed up a big flock of fowls would
prove exceedingly valuable. The fowls
destroy a great many insects each
every day If they are given a good
chance.
l wish some person would make a
few examinations of the crops of the
hens that have been allowed to run in
A field infested with grasshoppers.
think they would find SO or more of
these insects in the crops of each
bird. At that rate a hundred hens
would destroy 5000 insects In a day.
Insect life is very abundant on all
Of our farms. If we include the angle.
worms, we see that the aggregate
weight of food OF this kind must be
very large.
The domestic fowls should be util-
lied more for the destruction of in.
sects than they are.

Vitality of Chicks,

How shall chicks with great vitality
be secured? In the first place by
keeping and feeding hens in such a
way as to give them the greatest pos
sible amount of muscle and muscular
energy, which means that powerful
heart muscles will be developed. If
these hens are compelled to exercise
they will be able to produce eggs that
will have in them the elements OF
nutriments and energy that will de-
velop into chicks of powerful vitality.
We do not believe that chicks of
great vitality can be developed from
eggs laid by hens that have been
pampered on fatty foods and deprived
OF exercise.
