REPORT ON YANTIC COVE SPILINc
War Department Finds That the City Proceeding Under Rights Granted by Legislare and There Not Cause For Interference-Does Not Affect Navigation

| ue and at a point about 200 feet above West Main street the Norwich passen- ger depot of the Central Vermont rlil- roasl extends aero ss the entire width of the channel The chsnnel varies in width from about 4Qp feet at West Main street to 100 feet. more or lesss at it's widest part, and is quite shal- low.
 Authorized by Legislature. 5: By acts of the state legislature approved July 24. 1872, and July II, 1873, the city of Norwich was author ized and empowered to enter upon and take possession of Yantfc cove, so- called, within the limits of said city, to survey, stake out and dedne proper ana sufficient chanpeIs for tue waters f the Yan1fc sfver. and to fl Il in, Ss
 as said city may deem expedient, and
 shall have and exercise Ill other pow CTS necessary for the proper control and improvement of said cove.
 Acting under the tuthcr.ty thus gianl-d, the city las buils snd extend- cd from time to time two lines of close pile bulkhea9s in the waters of the cove. .eginning some little distance where filling had been in progress by others. The space between the bulk heals, ayeragi; about 300 feet l. width, has been flied by the con gathered from all parts of the city, so that the" made ground now extends to a point about 1900 feet above. West Main street.
 G. At the present time the city is engaged in extending the buIkheads to provide for future A1llng- The bulk head on the west side which dennes phe east side of the west channel has been carried to a point nearly abreast of the manufacturing plant of the Ul- mer Leather company, which is locat-s ed some distance back from the cove There is a bend to the east in the cove at this locality, but the bullkhead has been continued straight so as to near ly close the channel. The protest is accustomed by this narrowing of the west channel, not because of it's effect o1, the use of the channel for any pos sible future navigation, but rather due to an apprehension that proper drain age facilities for the flow of the river above in times of freshet are not be- ing provided -.a .h east side is so laid out as to provide for the continuation of the east chan mel at a width averag aging with that Eelow.
 Net Desirable to exercise Jurisdiction.
 S. On account of the peculiar con- ditions existing in the Yantic river above the West Main street bridges at Norwich, Conn, and ths fact that these bridges have been considered as de- fning the h sad of navigation, also, on account of the authority vested in the action. as cited above, 1t is not thought necessary nor desirable for the United States to attempt the exercise of any Jurisdiction over the tidal waters of the Yantic river above the West Main street bridges.

Sunday morning at the First Con- gregatIonaI church In the Secret of Thy Presence" was sung in sweet voice by Mrs, Walter Potter, also. and Miss Ruth l.. Potter. soprano Rev. G. C.. Pollock spoke fmpressiveiy from the text, Lord, tho whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life'' He said. Eternal, not in duration. but an existence eternal in the b1essedness of heaven Deep in the heart of hu- manity God has put the craving for eternal life. To obtain it no sacrifice has been too costly.
 When I hear of Christians being here and there, I think Of these words Will ye also go awayT' Mysteries in the scheme of redemption cause many to go away, but we do not hesitate to make use of things about us in the world which we do not understand. It Is an honor to belong to the church of the living God. Its work and service are most enjoyable to those who love Christ. Decay is on your present life. Have you any other life? Come to Christ.

COLLEGE SHOWS BIG GROWTH
Enrolment of Students In AsrlcuI-
tural Course is Larger Than
Ever This Year.

The enrolment Of students in the
agricultural courses of the Iowa State
college is larger than ever this year
Every class is filled and many addi-
tional classes have ben organized to
accommodate the demand. The agri-
cultural division of the college is edu-
eating more young men who come
from the farms and who expect to go
back to the farms than ever before.
The enrolment in this division today
is more than twice as large as it was
six years ago The high class of work
done in the agricultural courses is
attracting students from all parts of
the world One Of. the last to register
was w. Thompson, graduate of
Edinburgh university, Scotland, who
comes to do postgraduate work at
Ames. Another student comes from
South America, making several South
Americans now enrolled; still another
comes from India and another from
South Africa These men come to
Iowa because Iowa's agricultural
school has been recommended to them
as one of the best in the world.

for the two years feeding showed that

Kidding the Farm
of White Diarrhga
A Fan and Winter JOB
By w. A. LIPPINCOTT. Head of Poultr,
Department. Iowa State College

What tuberculosis and contagious
abortion are to the dairy farmer and
what cholera is to the farmer who
raises hogs, white diarrhea is to every
one who attempts to raise chickens.
The cause of this scourge has been
variously attributed to artificial incu-
baton and brooding, weakness caused
by inbreeding, lack of green food, too
much meat food, and so on without
limit.
AS a matter OF fact this disease Is
perpetuated through the breeding
stock. 1t does not arise, however.
from the causes commonly given
When a flock is attacked by white
diarrhea there are generally a few
that pull through and make half re-
covery. Some of these are pullets, and
along in March or April they begin to
lay a little. There Is no way of dis
tinguishing these eggs from the others
and certain proportion of them find
their way into the incubator or under
the hen. A few Of them hatch along
with the others. In less than week
an epidemic of white diarrhea ap-
pears.
The chicken which seemed to have
gotten over the attack never really
got rid of the disease. The germs re-
manned in the body and, II the chick
developed into pullet, found their
developed the germs worked their
way into them. AS a result, part OF
the chicks had diarrhea before they
| were Matched. The rest of them prob
ably caught it before they left the in
cubator as result of picking up the
droppings of the infected chicks. Most
of the spreading of the disease seems
to occur during the first four days
after Matching.
The preventive measures for spring
will be taken up in another article
later. Ii the work that can be done
this fall and winter is well done, very
likely the preventive measures in the
spring will not be SO necessary. 1t
has been found at the Storrs expert
ment station that the ovaries OF the
infected hens have peculiar appear
ance No matter how badly infected
the ovary may be, large number OF
ova appear normal The larger in
fected ova appear decidedly angular in
shape. Sometimes the change OF color
is slight. but generally they are either
bright yellow or almost black.
| In order to make an examination OF
! a living hen, make an incision be-
tween the last two ribs just as in
caponizing. The ovary may be plainly
seen. Every female that shows an
infected ovary should be discarded at
once. If the work is carefully done
during the fall and winter months
there will be no outbreak next spring
as there was last If reasonable SAM
tary precautions are observed
