ORPHAN dDUTH
IS HORSE THIEF
Hires a Horse in Waymart
and Sells 1t In Scranton
SAYS HE'LL BE A GOOD BOY If
HE GETS OUT THIS TIME.

I'm going to lead an honest life
after l get out of this. The Re-
formatory would be a good place for
me-"
So says William Hennegan, the
seventeen-year-old horse-thief, who
admitted before Judge A. T. Searle,
Monday, at argument court, that he
was guilty of selling a horse and
rig he borrowed from Sinquett and
Wonnacott, Waymart, to a Scran-
ton liveryman, for $35. His case
was held under advisement by the
Court, and his record is being in
vestigated by the District Attorney,
M. E. Simons.
William Hennegan, who says he
is seventeen years of age, has the
appearance of being considerably
older. His home was in Scranton,
where it is alleged he has spent
nearly the whole of his life on the
streets, both his parents being dead.
He is quite intelligent-looking, how
ever, and has the nerve and brav-
ado of the average street urchin.
According to his story he came
to Lake Ladore sometime in July,
where he secured employment
About week later, he went to the
livery stable of Sinquett and Won
nacott, Waymart, and hired horse
one Saturday night. He told the
liverymen he wanted to go to Car
bondale. He did drive to Carbon
dale, and the next day he journeyed
to Scranton, where he sold the
horse and rig to a keeper of a liv-
cry stable for $35. The horse and
rig according to Mr.. Sinquett was
worth fully $3.50.
The youthful David Harum after
this shady horse deal, went to Fac
toryville and hired another horse,
took it to Scranton and traded it for
a watch and got S4 toboot.
Sinouett and Wonnacott naturally
began making inquiries for their
horse, when it was not returned
within a reasonable length of time
after it's departure. 1t was quite
a little time before they found
where it was. The Scranton livery
man gave up the horse. 1t is also
freely alleged that the Scranton
liveryman ought to have known it
was a stolen horse for the circum-
stances attending its purchase, and
the ridiculously low cost price, are
very suspicious. The embryonic
David Harum claims that the livery
stable keeper knew him very we'll,
and knew he never had any money
or property of his own and knew
he was not the owner of a horse.
David Harum, Jr., was arrested
in due course, and taken before
Squire Dimock, Waymart, and COM
mitted to the county Jail. He claims
that he was drunk when he offered
the horse for sale. That he offered
it to the liveryman more in a joke
than anything else and that he
didn't expect the fellow would take
him up and that after the deal was
made he tried to reach the Way
mart liverymen over the phone
and tell them where their horse
was. Failing to do this he didn't
do any more. But the strong arm
of the Law did, and the chances are
excellent that he will have a
splendid chance to repent of his
horse deals in the confines of the
State Reformatory.

On Reagan's grounder to Mangan,

How to Feed OiLmeaI.

Oilmeal may he fed to all classes
Of farm stock. Fattening steers will
use to great advantage from two to
three pounds of oilmeal daily in con-
nection with other feeds. Feeding oil
meal in the form of nut sized cakes is
considered preferable to the loose meal
by most of our steer feeders. Dairy
cows will consume IL or two pounds
Of Oilmeal daily with their grain IA
tons. and luring the winter feeding
period more or less Oilmeal is almost
Indispensable in order 10 keep the
cows in the best condition for produc-
ing milk and butter fat. For growing
calves. sheep and hogs oilmeal can
constitute about one-tcnth of the grain

Horses may be fed small quantities,

sound. Among other things, n worn
out, MANNED, blind, halt OF otherwise
unsounl mare, no matter how good
she has been, is not fit for breeding
purposes, OH the basis that "she is
good for nothing else" This policy is
not only absurd, but costly.
Tho draft horse is par excellence the
horse for'thc farmer to raise. Only
the blood of the hest draft breeds and
the heaviest and best boned stations
are suitable. Even then the demand
for extreme weights necessitates the
use Of large mares that are good milk
ers. In no other way can colts be pro-
duced with sufficient bone and feeding
quality to attain the size and finish
demanded by the markets, Given then.
as before stated, the youngsters must
be supplied with the best of feed IN
large amounts from the very first.
Only the best blood must be used. and
then every effort must be made to
keep the horse gaining from the first

once a day, but this is gradually in
creased until they are fed both morn
ing and night all they will stand. Any
indication of overlooking, however,
will cause a drop in the feeding for a
few days. Then. i'll connection with
this feeding of oats. and bran, more
corn fodder is fed and stalks having
the best developed ears of corn. This
feeding: is continued until the lambs
are shipped. Then the sheep are at
once sorted out into pens by them
selves and put back on the old feed
of hay and stalks and kept so until
they are turned out in the spring.
This method of feeding i've a great
expense in the handling of the corn!
and tile heavy feeding is continued
only during the, time that is necessary
for growing the .lambs-a period Of
from Ave to nine weeks. 1t is often
necessary, :lloMever,ito stop the feed
ing of cornstalks at-ssintervlalsz Of a
few days before lambing, as the sheep

in 1893. This aud the Pan-American
model breed test ut Buffalo in 1901 are
possibly the best instances Of public
rating which the products Of the dairy
breeds have ever had. In the Buffalo
tests the Guernsey COWS were awarded
the prize for net profits in butter fat
and the prize for net profit in churned
butter. They not only showed the
greatest profit, but also made butter
at the least cost per pound and return
cd the greatest profit for every dollar
invested in feed. --f4f --vl
To the American Guernsey Cattle
club belongs the credit of establishing
the first measure of utility Of the
breed of cattle upon the hasi Of ac-
tual production of butter fat and that
for one years time or Il period that
shall test the true worth of IL dairy
cow. During the last six years ] 112
records have been made. These show
an average of S.O51.2O pounds of milk,
4O9.75 pounds of butter fat and 5.121
per cent of butter fat.
Resides the dairy breed test which
has been referred to, the latest one in
which the public has been interested
is that of the great Iowa state dairy
COW contest. In this tho G~uernseNs
have lul. The three COWS producing
the greatest amount of butter fat dur
ing the year were Guernseys. This is
but another confederation Of the ster-
ling qualities of the breed.

General Utility of Mules.

In feeding mules 1t may be well to
remember that they will keep fat on
about three-fourths the allowance of
a horse Of the same weight, that: they
will eat up roughage and their grain
ration will only be about two.thirds
that of a horse. ~
When it comes to daily care and at-
tention the mule win live where the
horse will soon die. sl #' fl
) These large cared friends are also
more sure footed than the horse, re
sist heat and flies better and do not
chafc or gall so easily. 'a 6
The objection many farmers raise to-
the use of mules is that they. do not
breed. shat they are stubborn, often
vicious, and that they are entirely UNI
suited to pleasure purposes. %
Those objections are worthy of con-.
s%ideration, but the many good quail
ties Of these sturdy beasts seem to
more than offset them. =si
