seemed so until young Lee announced
that he was going to college. That
changed Mr.. Whites opinion OF him at
once. Colleges were for shirks and
squirts and one horse lawyers. They
simply spoiled farmers sons. Every
rascal he had ever read OF had been
college graduate. He didn't turn the
young man out doors, but he gave him
to understand that the daughter would
be for some one who could tell cab
bage head from a burdock.
And unbeknown to him, though not
engaged, the young people had main
tanned friendly correspondence and
met occasionally, and now things had
reached sort of climax. George Lee
had boldly called at the house. and the
farmers wife had noted what she
called signs" That talk in the BARN
yard had been to prepare the husband
and father for what might happen, for
she believed that something would
happen George Lee didn't seem to be
a bit afraid of anybody or anything, as
she expressed 1t to herself, and she
noticed that Jennie was very fidgety.

and Just In time to catch the father

Chicago, Jan. 9.-United States Dis
triet Judge George A. Carpenter yester-
day indicated he would rule out of the
record in the trial of the ten Chicago
packers the testimony Of Jerome H.
Pratt, identifying the handwriting of J.
Ogden Armour and Thomas J. Sonnors
on certain letters introduced in evidence
by the government.
The writing of Arthur Meeker. an
other defendant, on one of the letters
in question, which was positively iden-
tilted by Mr.. Pratt, will, it is believed,
be allowed to remain in the record.
The letters, over which counsel for
both sides have argued strenuously, were
offered by the government Saturday and
viii remain a part of the record
Pratt, who was formerly connected
with the dressed beef department of
Armour, Cudahy & Co.. testified he wrote
three letters giving the record of the
weeks business and mailed them to the
named.
Later they were returned TO him con-
tanning figures in pencil indicating the
firms percentage of shipments and profit
for the current week as agreed
on at the Tuesday afternoon meeting
OF the packers.
Judge Carpenter said:
only one Of these letters has been
positively identified by the witness,
Pratt, as being in tine handwriting of
those defendants. In regard TO the 9TH

opinion who wrote the figures, but that
opinion was obtained in the ordinary
course of business.
Ills opinion cannot go in the record
under these circumstances"
Pratt said that after the issuance Of
Judge Grosscups injunction in 1902 re-
straining the packers from continuing
to pool the packers held their meetings
to fix prices and apportion business at
the homes Of the members
"Was there any particular difference
in the meetings held at members homes

New Jersey or anywhere else. but Miss
Helen Miller Gould can snap her fng-
ers and forget about it, for she owns
one of the finest poultry farms in New
York state.
Miss Gould decided about year ago
she wanted poultry farm to free her
self from any egg trust She has
most capable superintendent in Archi-
bald Robbie, and upon him devolved
the work OF carrying out the plans.
Only two breeds are housed on the
farm-white Leghorns and Wyandottes.
Miss Gould tried to keep the number up
to 1000. lust now it is below that fig
ure, but the incubators will be started
soon and large number of broilers are
planned for the spring. The farm pro-
vides Miss Gould with all the eggs she
wants at all times. 1t also provides
broilers. chickens for roasting, squads,
capons and ducks. In the spring, when
the egg harvest is greatest, Miss Gould
often finds she has more eggs than she
can use.
Following the policy that nothing shall
be wasted, these eggs are sent to some
grocery store in Tarrytown, where they
are on sale as the Gould estate eggs,
and great is the demand These eggs
bring the highest prices and are sold
quickly. The same is true of butter.
Often Miss Goulds farm has a surplus
of butter. II is sold to local mer-
chants.
As to the egg production no exact
figures are obtainable, but it is said
that often a thousand are obtained in
a day. The farm is one of the sights
for visitor to Lyndburst. It has
proved great success, and Miss Gould
is very proud Of it.
