ORANGE COUNTY COURT.
Criminal Prosecutions Are Heard-Sel-
den Powers Convicted.

Chelsea, Jan. 12-On the opening of
Orange county court on Jan. ), after a
two weeks recess, the trial of criminal
cases was taken up and the first one
was State VS.. Lillian b. Flint, who is
charged with keeping house of i'll fame
in the village of Randolph. As the case
was called, the respondent appeared with
out counsel, and after being advised by
the court that she. would be allowed
few moments in which to procure coun-
sci, she secured the services of Stanley
c. Wilson OF Chelsea This case was
scrap from start to finish between the
states attorney and counsel for the re-
spondent, who took the stand in her own
behalf. The trial of the case occupied
the attention of the court until Wednes-
day afternoon. when it was given to the
jury, which wrestled with the problem
OF sitting the wheat from the ehaf UNI
til Thursday afternoon, when they re-
ported that it was a hopeless case for
them to try to arrive at an agreement
and they were discharged from further
consideration of the case. This is the
first mistrial of the term and the case
will be tried again before the close of
the term.
The second case for trial was State vs.
Harold Bard, young man from West
Fairlee, who was charged with burglary.
This was a short case and went to the
jury Friday morning and during the
forenoon they rendered verdict of gull
ty through their foreman, William S.
Bryant of Randolph. The prosecution
was conducted by States Attorney Will
liams and tie respondent was represent.
ed by Attorneys David S. Conant and
Stanley c. Wilson.
Following this case the town of Ran
dolph was again invaded by the states
attorney, who brought up for trial one
Selden Powers of South Randolph to an
swer to the charge of adultery. The evil
dence tended to show that he had been
living with certain woman during the
past ! 5 years at Various places in this
and Windsor counties and that in some
of the places where they had resided
she had passed as his wife and it was
understood by the public generally in
the vicinity where they had lived during
the past four years that she was his
wife until late in the fall, when he was
served with a summons to appear before
the Windsor county court as libellee in
a suit which his real wife had brought
against him for divorce. This case, like
the Flint ease, was a legal battle, the
states attorney being assisted by At
torney David S. Conant and the respond

ent being represented by Attorneys s. G.
Wilson and NJ. M. Wilson. The case was
given to the jury at ii o'clock Satur-
day forenoon and at o'clock they came
in and rendered a verdict of guilty.
| During Saturday afternoon the case of
State vs.. Bert f. Shooter, who had pre-
viously pleaded guilty to the crime of
| rape, was disposed of, the respondent
being sentenced to serve a term of not
less than four and onehalf years and
not more than five years in state prison.
Before this prosecution was instituted,
the respondent was on probation from
suspended sentence to state prison for
not less than two and one half years nor
more than three and one-half years,
which sentence will become operative at
the expiration of his sentence for the
crime of rape. States Attorney Will
liams prosecuted and Attorneys w. III.
Sprague and ID. S. Conant appeared for
the respondent.
The next case up was State VS.. Leon
Bohonon of Washington, who entered
plea of guilty to the crime of burglary,
and the court imposed sentence of not
less than one and one-half years nor
more than two years in the house of
correction and to pay the costs of prose-
cution taxed by the court at $40. The
execution # the prison sentence was
suspended and the respondent placed on
probation, with the requirement that he
should pay the costs OF prosecution in
installments of $40 in three months and
$50 in six months. States Attorney
Williams prosecuted and Attorney w. II.
Sprague appeared for the respondent.
There is yet long list of criminal
cases to be tried and it is more than
likely that the jury work of the term
will last another week, at least.

THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.
Hints on How to Use Them.
Il. KNEELAND.

| There are owners of small country
houses as well as farmers who purchase
commercial fertilizers on the cost basis
rather than the actual plant food value
contained in the fertilizer. This foolish
make, of course, is due to lack of
knowledge of the principles on which
fertilizers arc mixed. Now, suppose we
want to buy fertilizers for early po-
tatoes. The shop clerk says this year
he is selling 4-S-l0 brand, highly recom-
mended by the A. B. c. company. Well,
what does he mean? He means mix
ture containing in every 100 pounds, 4
per cent. nitrogen S per cent. available
phosphoric acid and 10 per cent potash,
three plant food elements vitality nee
essary to plant development. Remem-
Der the order given--nitrogen phosphor-
ic acid and potash-is always the same.
Therefore to find the amount OF nitro
gen in ton Of the mixture multiply the
four (which is per cent. OF 100 pounds,
or four pounds) by twenty, there be-
ing twenty hundreds in ton and the
same with either of the other two in
gradients.
The Analysis Vague.
Thus we know how many pounds of
different plant food elements are in a
mixture, but we don't know in what
form the elements are. 1t we examine
fertilizer bag we find on it an analysis
of the mixture. Take special corn
fertilizer for example nitrogen, 2.7 per
cent. soluble phosphoric acid, 2.3 per
cent; reverted phosphoric acid, sos
cent. soluble phosphoric acid, % per
potash, 81 per cent. From this we can
only gather there is 81 per cent. nitro
gen, and by adding together the soluble
and reverted phosphoric acid we find
the available acid-that is, the phosphor-
ie acid-that can be taken up by the
crop in it's early development The in
soluble only becomes available after ly
ing for long time in the soil. Finally
the potash is simply stated as being the
proportion of 81 per cent. This analy
sis is of little value unless we know in
what form the different elements are.
As an example, for growing tomatoes
the nitrogen should be in two forms, nj
trogen of soda, quickly soluble and inn
mediately available; also in form
which will become available gradually,
such as cottonseed meal. However, it is
simple matter to write to the agri-
cultural station telling the crops to be
grown and soil conditions (sandy, loan,
gravel or clayj, and they will reply
giving plant food elements needed and
proper PROPORTIONS. With these facts in
hand, tell the local fertilizer dealer your
wants, and he will order brand whose
formula corresponds to the one given
him.
