Best Poultry rnnica

Fresh air, sunshine and exercise are
the best poultry tonics. But fresh air
does not mean drafts in the houses.
nor does sunshine call for exposure to
hot suns during the summer The
houses should be so constructed that
fresh air can constantly be present to
drive out bad odors and purify the at
mosphere.
The sunshine should be able to
reach every corner to destroy any
germs that might be lurking in damp
ness. The fowls should exercise by
scratching that good circulation of
the blood may be stimulated. The
above are the three best medicines in
the poultry doctors are.

COUNTY COURT.

The case of j. H. Silsby & Company
VS.. G. A. Kingsley which has been in
progress for some time came to a
terminal Wednesday night when the
Jury returned a verdict of S245 which
represented the value of about $4,000
feet of logs. The plaintiffs in the
case bought land of the defendant for
the purpose of cutting the timber and
cut to line designated in the deed
which the defendant claims was the
line indicated at the time of the pur-
chase and which the plaintiff claims
was about 80 rods inside of the land
claimed to be owned by the defendant.
Exceptions were taken by the defend
ant and it looks now as if the case
would go to a higher court.
The case next to be heard was that
of the Black River Bobbin Company
VS.. D. M. Dunn and was similar to
that of the previous case involving
timber lines. The jury returned a
verdict for the defendant to recover
his costs.
The case now on trial is a state
liquor case against Edmunds OF
Coventry for selling. Tuesday noon
the defendant was beginning his
testimony.
