The brooder chick should start with.
out lice, but some poultrymen never
fumigate the brooder or set 1t In
an infested place. The greedy English
sparrows often carry lice to the peeps
and in return carry off the feed.
These lousy pests steal half the feed
on some plants, and back yard fanciers
lose more. Thanks to our big tiger
cat, who snoozes with one eye open out
among the brooders and on the wire
pens, we lose no feed to the pirates
Before Tom came we set up stuffed
owl among the pens. The sparrows-
robins, catbirds, chippies, wrens and
cherry birds gathered in the plum and
OK heart trees and did some tall cuss--
in and threatened that long cared owl
with dire calamity; but, more faithful
than the majority of policemen, he
stood to his duty, and not even the
cackle of a juicy hen tempted him
away. And the birds fed.

Bristol in Pomona week has had
many notable grange events. but the
dedication of the new hall of New
found Lake grange. the installation of
its officers. the sparkling pOstprandial
exercises. a brilliant literary pro-
gramme- and long social festivity will
enable the exercises on the afternoon
and evening of Feb. Z to excel any
thing of similar nature ever held in
the lower Pemigewasset valley The
grange was opened in the usual man
ner in the former place of meeting. and
a long procession marched to the new
hall, where the dedication ceremony
was performed by State Master Had
ley and the officers of the local grange.
w. s. H. Remick filed the masters
station, the altar was placed in posi-
ton by the assistant stewards, the
service there was performed by the
chaplain, the flowers on it were ar
ranged by Flora, the fruit was put In
position by Pomona and the grain by
Ceres. The keys received from the
architect and the supervising builder
were delivered to the steward. The
building is two stories. SO by 60. The
grange hall proper, exclusive Of an ex-
tension stage. is 40 by 42. The BAN
quet room is SO by 80, and the kitchen.
ante and other rooms are commodious
and convenient. The floors are hard
wood; the sheathing is of Georgia pine.
1t is lighted by electricity and has
modern heating apparatus. The cost

pamphlets for the use Of the essayist
who is to prepare the competitive es-
say that is to be presented in April on

Many people recognize the vast ac-
complishments Of tie grange, but few
realize that the official returns to the
state grange in 1907 show that the ag-
gregate amount of time consumed in a
single year in the state of New Hamp-
shire in actual attendance at the meet
ings, exclusive of travel and prepara-
ton, amounts to 1855 continuous
years, or more than six and one-half
times the period that has elapsed since
the beginning of the Christian era.
Women rarely attended and less fire.
quently participated in the early meet
ings of the grange in the Granite
State Later they occupied all of the
offices in many oranges. At the pres
ent time very few oranges have all
permissible officers of either sex, but
almost invariably the Office is filed by

| the duties. There are thirty-one lady
masters, 22S lecturers are women, and

Fresh manure has a forcing effect
and tends to produce stems and leaves
at the expense Of fruit and grain. It is
therefore better for early garden truck.

FUMES FROM THE GAS TUBE
ENnED LIFE OF BELMoNT's BEAU.
TlFUL DAUGHTER.
Much Mystery Thrown About Her
Death by the Delay in Notifying
the City Officials.

New York, Feb. 22.-Mrs. Natica
Rives-Burden, one of the most beau
tiful women in New York society, was
found asphyxiated at 10 o'clock Friday
morning in her bed in the home OF
her mother-in-law, Mrs. James A. Bur
den, No. 908 Fifth avenue.
Members of her family and the ply
sicians, who we're Immediately sum-
moned, unite in declaring her death ac-
cidental. Coroner Shrady was not no
tilted for several hours, and then in
an irregular way. He agrees with the
family that the young woman died of
gas poisoning, but will hold an inquest
after the funeral Monday. The strange
behavior of the family and the evasive-
ness of DR.. Francis p. Kinicutt and DR..
p. II. NJ. Lyle, who were first called,
threw an air of mystery about the
death and aroused a strong suspicion
that Mrs. Burden had taken her own
life.

who opened her bedroom door to be
met with a rush OF gas, which was
escaping from a reading lamp by the
side of her bed.
The maid called the husband, who
was on the floor below. Mr.. Burden
shut off the gas. threw open the win
dows and tried to arouse his wife. Hel
little Pomeranian dog Bina crawled
feebly over the coverlet and dragged
himself into the hall. The fact that
the dog was alive increased the hope
Of the family, and two doctors were
summoned. They declared that the
woman had been dead for at least two
hours.
Although the doctors reached this
decision about 1890 O'Clock, II was not
until o'clock that any official was
notified.
Coroner George F. Shrady. jr., re-
ceived a private summons by tele-
phone to the Rives home at o'clock.
He spent an hour and a half examining
the physicians, servants and members
Of the family. Reaching a conclusion
that the death was accidental, he went
in person to the East Sixty-seventh
Street Police station and gave the po-
lice their first notification of the sud
den demise.
