Testimony Ruled Out.
Sda's Instructions 10 Jury All
6lIen--Defence Loses Many.


Wheeling, W. Va, Jan. 24.-Thc end
of the trial OF Laura Farnsworth

lead poison and arsenic to her hus-
band. John .. Schenk, is now in sight
Z arguments having been begun Monday
afternoon at 3.1s. 1t is expected that
the case viii be in the hands of the
Jury not later than Wednesday noon.
Apparently the greatest blow yet
u sustained by the defence was struck
Monday morning, when, on motion of
Prosecuting Attorney Handlap, the ev-
idence OF Mrs. Jane Hedges was ruled
out. 1t was this witness who testi-
fled that Albert ~Schenk said he would

Thc defence played Its trump card
in Mrs. Hedges, relying upon her to
prove their contention that members
of the Schenk family had conspired
against the woman who is fighting for
her liberty.
The evidence given by Mrs. Hedges
was ruled out On the ground that no
ave-tact suggestive of conspiracy
rs.c been attributed to Albert Schenk
or Otlier relatives. The defence OBJ
jecier strenucusly, but Judge Jordan
was firn. In his ruling.
The state Immediately after the eN-
clusion of Mrs. Hedges testimony an
iiornced unexpectedly that it would
rest its case.
The state apparently scored again when
instructions to the jury were offered The
state offered 10 instructions, all of which
we're given. The defence offered 81, ~
Of which were stricken out.
> The suggestions of the state for in
structions were of the usual form and,
while the defence objected TO most of
them, the objections were of technical
nature and all were over-ruled
The instructions submitted by the de-
fence and ruled out related principally to
two subjects-circumstantia evidence and
the reputation or the witnesses. DR.. w.

was asked that the jury return verdict
of not guilty If it has not been shown
definitely that Mrs. Schenk put the pois-
on into her husbands medicine. or If it
was shown that she did not do this her.

claimed that such instructions would
prevent any circumstantial evidence be-
ing taken into consideration.

Mr.. Maury spoke almost two hours. He

but later recovered her composure and

FEEDING ANIMAL
MATTER TO HENS.
Value of Green Bone as a Pro-
Queer Of Winter Eggs.

The oldest works on the subject of
poultry recommend feeding animal
matter in some form, but it is only
In recent years that feeding green bone
has become popular.
Up until about 1889 winter egg pro-
duction was not much of a feature,
great as the demand was, for the rea-
son that there seemed no possible way
of getting the hens down to solid work.
There was an improvement, however,
when better houses, better feeding and
better care were employed, but still
the supply was meager' considering the
output at the present day.
According to an analysis by Profess
sor James q. Rice, the nutritive value
of green bone is 1.53, which is greater
than any other form of meat-meat
scraps, dried blood, dried fish or ami
NAL meal
Hens are worm and insect hunters,
and where they do not have range
must be supplied a substitute in some
form. Particularly in summer the
handiest meat food is meat scrap and
meat meal. many brands of which are
on the market. Green bone is better
Tor fall, winter and early spring use.
1t is safe to feed in an egg ration one
tenth to one-ffth by weight of meat in
the total ration, the quantity varying
with the richness of the meat and
other foods used 1t is best to mix
the meat in the meal feed. But in the
case or green cut bone it is more salts
factory to feed in troughs, allowing a
pound of green bone for every sixteen
fowls, or an ounce per head.
Mistakes have been made in feeding
green bone in giving too liberal a
quantity. An excess will produce ag-
graYated diarrhea and worms, and a
too liberal supply of meat scrap is apt
TO cause an overfat condition of the
fowls.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Put the Manure on the Field.

Professor Ten Eyck Of the Kansas
experiment station says: in my judg,
ment it is best to haul the manure di-
rect from the stable to the field where
this can be economically done. The
manure is not improved especially by
being left in the shed, but if it is not
possible to haul it to the field and
spread it at once as soon as it is made
then it is much preferable to have the
manure stored in the shed rather than
leave it exposed to the weather in an
open yard. A good method of feeding
cattle and making manure is to feed
under sheds. The tramping of the
manure by the cattle will pack it and
cause it to hold moisture SO that it
will keep in good condition for long
time with little loss"
