Tarrytowners Jibe Pound Mas
ter Who Had to Kill Own Dog.

Tarrytown folk are laughing at what
they consider a great Joke on William
Martin. pound master Martins pet
dog was allowed TO run free, although
there is a quarantine in force. George
Heike, q dog catcher. picked 1t up and
took 1t 10 the pound. When he learned
II was Martins dog, Heike said he was
no respecter of persons or their dogs
so Martin had to kill il.
The joke is being enjoyed most by
those who lost their dogs in the same
way and have no sympathy for the
pound master They consider that
Heike squared a good many accounts
and are not sparing in poking fun at
him.

moisture in the spring, prevents weed

the fruit from dirt.
Put the mulch on as soon as tho
ground is sufficiently frozen to allow
driving upon it with a loaded wagon.
AT this time the plants are dormant
and the mulch will help to keen them
In this condition until after the spring

after the crop is picked. 1t saves
work in wedding the patch and helps

The best material to use for
mulch is clean straw. See that il is
clean, for when weed seed are nut On

fruiting season and damage the Der.

manner. Use two or three tons of
