GERS Sudden End Was Not Result
Of Natural Causes-Prsoner Held
Without Bail.
bingham, Mass. March 21.-Mrs.
Eaton, widow of Rear Admiral Joseph
G.. Eaton, was arrested here charged
with the murder of her husband.
District Attorney A. F. Barker an
nounced the arrest in the following
statement:
Mrs. Eaton is under arrest charged
with the murder of her husband, Rear
Admiral Joseph Giles Eaton. Rear
Admiral Eaton did not die a natural
death. This fact was communicated
TO me on March 10 by Professor Whit
ney in a preliminary report and has
been known to the officers working on
the case since that time.
Death was due to poisoning, but
peculiar features involved have pre-
vented the authorities from communi-
eating them to the police. We have
been unable thus far to ascertain
where the poison was procured Mrs.
Eaton was arrested at her home at
Assinnippi."
Mrs. Eaton later was arraigned be-
fore Judge Pratt, who conducted the
inquest into the admirars death. She
pleaded not guilty and was committed
to Jail without bail for a further hear
ing March %.
Admiral Eaton died suddenly on the
morning of March s. He was sixty
six years of age, but according to his
friends had been in good health. Two
days later the body was buried at
Dracut, his former home. There was
no service at the grave and besides
the undertakers and newspaper men
only the widow and her daughter by
another marriage witnessed the inter-
ment.
Thirty-nine Years in Service.
The rear admiral had seen thirty
nine years service in the navy. He
commanded the transport Resolute at
Santiago and received a medal of hon
or for his share in that battle He
was born at Greenyille, Ala, and was
twice married
The present Mrs. Eaton was the ad-
mirals second wife and formerly was
the wife of ID. A. Ainsworth, once a
clerk in the United States senate.
Her father was George Harrison and
the family home was at Alexandria.
She is forty years of age.
The investigation is said to have
developed that her married life was
not altogether happy. Her explana-
ton that her husband died from an
attack of Indigestion did not satisfy
the medical examiner and after con-
ferring with the family physician he
delayed the preparation of the body
for burial until a postmortem had
been made.
Mrs. Eaton has two daughters by
her first marriage, Mrs. June Aims
worth Keyes of Boston and Dorothy
AiDsworth, who lived with her.

richer it is in the proper elements OF
nutrition the sooner will the ewes come
In heat.
Usually the uncertainty in breeding
is greater with ewes one year old that
have never produced lambs than with
those that are older. This is owing to
the fact, chiefly, that such ewes are
liable to carry much flesh. especially
If they have been fed OH nourishing
pastures all through the season. The
remedy in this case would be to con-
fine them to pastures succulent and a
little lacking in quantity if such could
be found as. for instance. young WIN
ter rye. where the short growth would
force them to do much travelling.
The aim should be to have ewes in
good condition at the time for mating.
Where they are not they do, not pro-
duce as many lambs. nor is it likely
that the lambs will be SO strong. The
ewes require mere food also to carry
them properly through the winter. It,
is an easier matter to lay flesh OH a
eve before she is pregnant than subse-
quently. when a part of the food is
used in sustaining the fetus.

THE BREEDING EWES.
Animals Should Be Increasing In Flesh
When MATING Time Arrives.

Animals Should Be Increasing In Flesh
When Mating Time Arrives.
The relation between the nature of
the lamb crop and the management Of
the ewes at the time of mating is
closer than is usually supposed. says
sheep grower in Iowa Homestead.
When the ewes are overfat at such
time, or when they are on pastures
dry and dead. impregnation is less GER
tain than when the opposite conditions
prevail. When the ewes are failing
in flesh at such time it becomes even
less certain.
The greatest certainty in breeding is
attained when the ewes are increas-
ing in flesh. The renovating influence
which at such time comes to the sys-
TEN extends to the generative organs,
and this adds not only to the certainty
Of conception. but it tends to hasten
the time for breeding.
When the lambs are weaned the
ewes are usually thin in flesh. The
better their milking properties the thin
ner they are likely to be, becaus- Of
the amount of daily ration that IS
! been converted into milk. If the ewes
are then put upon succulent pastures
they at once begin to regain the flesh
that has been lost. 1t is when they
are thus building up the system that
the breeding season comes on. The
relation between the quickness or slow
ness with which it comes is dependent
on the character Of the food. The

.AZOTURIA OF HORSES

"A disease of horses that should be
guarded against, especially at this time
of the year, is azoturia, sometimes
called "Monday morning. paralysis,
or lumbago. This disease usually fol-
lows periods of rest or idleness, es-
pecially in cold weather, when horses
have been kept on full feed. Horses in
flesh, in the pink of condition, are the
ones usually affected. Just as milk
fever picks out the best cows in the
herd, azoturia seems to strike the best
horses in the stable.
The symptoms Of the disease come
on after the horse has left the stable,
sometimes before a mile has been trav-
eled. The first thing usually noticed
is that the horse limps or favors one
hind limb, frequently knuckling over
at the fetlock. This rapidly gets
worse if the animal is kept going.
sPerspiration breaks out over the sur
face Of the body. If not brought to a
standstill, the horse will travel till the
hind limbs become para]yzed and col.
aapse. If stopped when the first symp-
toms are shown, the horse will bear
all Of the weight on the unaffected
limb, unless both are affected. He is
very restless and uneasy. The sweat.
ing is profuse, and may run off the
body in streams, even in verv cold
weather. =.

kuRlos FROM CORRESPONDENTS

Q. Please tell me how some exhibit
ors manage to have their old fowls fin.
ish the molt before the fall fairs. A.
About July they put them on short
rations and half starve them for two
weeks; then they give them large
ration Of nourishing food that contains
much meat and once a week mix
to every twelve birds.
Q. have a hen here that is out OF
shape. She bags down behind and
walks as if her back is broken. What
are the cause and cure? A. Your hen is
likely broken down because Of exces.
sive fat You may get her back to form
by cutting out corn and other fattener
and making her scratch in litter for
short ration of oats and wheat. Such
hens seldom get normal, are no good
for breeders and most too fat to eat
If you kill her watch for tumors.
Q. Why do you suppose my Leghorn
chickens get wry tails, crooked breast
bones and flop combs? A. Overcrowd-
ed chicks are sure to get bone deformi.
ties, while head lice or innutritious
food generally causes weakness, Of
which flop comb is an indication.
Q. How about feeding tankage to
poultry? A. Tankage is only ft for
fertilizer.
Q. Is cockel seed good for poultry,
and how much ought to be fed? A..
Our poultry never touch cockel. Even
sparrows refuse it, and what sparrows
refuse your hens will not eat. Burn
the cockel. It is pernicious weed and
crowds out the wheat.
