SherbrOoke, Que, Aug. 29.-New

the fight to return Thaw to Mattea-

on commitment which will not bring
him into court until the kings bench
convenes in October, and William

was released on $500 bail on the dou-

tried on both charges Wednesday.
Furnished with money by the Thaw
family and provided with spending
money, presumably from the sane
source, Roger Thompson repeatedly
refused to tell what happened on and

he drove Thaw away from the asy-

his daughter might be. They had not
missed a service for many day. And
where was Keziah Coffin?

GREATEST ENEMY OF CHICKS

thing Else-LIce Sap Vitality Of
the Little Fellows.

Inc greatest enemy OF the chick.
and that which causes more loss than
any other one cause, Is chilling: the
second enemy in Importance because
OF amount OF loss is lice. Both lice
and chilling are the direct cause Of
bowel troubles, because both sap the
vitality and the life OF the chick, max

That are always ready to attack it.
busting the setting hen helps, but
some lice are quite sure to escape and
can later be found on the head OF
the chick. Rub little lard on top
OF the chicks head, getting it into
the down thoroughly, and you will
get these; repeat the dose in week.
and If the hen Is furnished a good
busting place, the lice are not likely
TO give any more trouble; but when
ever you see chick that seems un-
happy. eyes closed, droopy, look for
lice.
The brood coops should be thor
oughly sprayed before using with
some coal tar preparation, sheep dip,
whitewash, or a mixture of four parts
coal oil and one part crude carbolic
acid. 1t pays to be ahead, and that

less destructive to alfalfa It is proba-
bly, prevented by its natural enemies
from working serious and widespread
ravages.
The first specimens OF the insect in
this country were found in an alfalfa
field near Salt Lake City in the spring
OF 1904. and since that time II has
spread very rapidly in spite OF the ef-
forts OF state and national authorities
to check II. The insect is of interest
TO eastern slope farmers because OF
the possibility that 1t may come across
the mountains at any time and begin
such a campaign OF destruction as has
devastated the fields OF Utah. We

and under rubbish and in alfalfa

number OF eggs are laid. The eggs
hatch in about ten days. and the

CAREFUL PACKING OF PEARS
Care Should Be Exercised Not to
Have Fruit Hang Too Long, as
II Deterioristes Quality.

-
While the packing OF any fruit is
largely a matter of experience. there
are certain principles which apply to
all fruits, though more care must be
exercised with some varieties than
with others. The pear IS a very per
ishable fruit and requires the most
careful handling. The picking season
varies with the prevailing climatic
conditions each year. Whenever. on
slightly twisting the stem and turning
the pear upward. it will snap off. the
fruit is ready to pick. OF necessity
it must be picked for shipping while
yet in a green state. Great care should
be exercised not to have the pears
hang too long. for 1t deteriorates the
shipping qualities very materially.
After picking. the fruit should be
packed and shipped as soon as posi-
BILE. as they are quite perishable.
The boxes for pears must be lined

themselves also wrapped There is an
increasing demand for fancy pears,

higher prices than unsorted, poorly

splendid illustration of the statement
that the greatest profit is realized by

There are several forms OF packs

pears must be packed so tight that
