DROVE OFF WITH
 NORWICH LIVERY RIG. Man Named Rondeau Caught al Jewett city-Teek Team from Shooting Club
Especial to The Bulletin.)

Especial to The Bulletin.)
 Jewett City May 9.-G. B. Hodge. who keeps livery stable at 135 Franklin street, Norwich, let team Sunday afternoon to two young men to come up into Lisbon. When near the shooting club, they hitched the horse and went about some business. While they were gone, man who gives his name as Rondeau came along the road and drove off the team. He drove to Blissville and then up the state road toward Jewett City. When passing the home of Paul Guest he was beating the horse unmercifully. He passed the house. but soon drove back bareheaded and insisted on Mrs. Guest finding his hat. The man was very drunk and the horse could scarce ly stand. Mrs. Guest notified Humane Agent Dr. s. H. Holmes by telephone l and meanwhile the Norwich police | were notified, who in turn asked Off, cer Wolfe of this place to keep a look | out.
 pr. Holmes asked Peter Cooper, a 1 neighbor who owns an auto, to take | him down the state road. Officer Wolfe, who was found on the watch, was also taken into the machine. They | met the man a little below the bor- | ough. Dr. Holmes stopped the horse and Officer Wolfe, after a hard tussle and a little judicious application of | black jack oil arrested the man and he was lodged in the cooler. He fought all the way and was an ugly customer. l It is said he has g. jail record and may now be wanted in Putnam to an | swer to the charge of burglary. Dr. | Holmes put the horse in Tanning s | stable, covered with welts and bruises. | The Norwich police were notified of the | arrest. MT. Hodge and the two young | fellows who hired the horse came to | Jewett City on the next trolley. The | animal was identified and driven home. Rondeau will be tried Monday in the 1 town of Lisbon on several grave charges. The Rondeau in question is said to live either in Taftville or Wau- regan.
 The rig was hired by a man named Clish who, as soon as he discovered | it was gone from the place where he had hitched it, telephoned word of the loss to Chief George Linton at Nor wich police headquarters, who was notified to look out for it, as it was
 expected that 1t might be coming that | way. The horse was a well known white driving horse that MT. Hodge
 uses in his livery business and was at-
 tached to a piano box top buggy with rubber tires.
 Upon his return from Jewett City where he went after receiving word o1
 the arrest, MT. Hodge said the horse
 was cut up some, but he did not be- lieve that it was much damaged. Dur

 black and white blanket which had not
 been found up to Sunday night.

HOW YOU ADVANCE IN THIS

David Grayson. writing Hemp
Geld" in the February American
Magazine, comments as follows on
the doors OF America:
There are two ways by which
men advance in this world-one is
by doing. the other by being. We
Americans. these many years, have
been cultivating and stimulating the
doors. We have made the doors our
heroes, and have therefore had no
poetry. no art, no music, no person
atty, and. I was going TO say, no
religion. Doing leads the way TO
riches, power. reputation, and II II
occasionally lands man in the PEN
itentiary. still we feel that there Is
something grand about IL, and re-
fleet that the same process also leads

or a palace on Fifth Avenue"

(By n. l.. KEMPsTER. Missouri Expert
ment StationD
The secret OF success in raising
poultry is to provide conditions as
nearly natural as possible Such con-
ditions the farmer-poultryman is in
position to provide. With unlimited
range at his disposal there Is no need
for him to crowd his poultry into small
yards. Limited range encumbered
with large numbers Of division fences
makes Il impossible 70 give the poul-
try yards proper cultivation. This
causes them to become filthy and in
sanitary. a condition which is respon-
sible for most poultry diseases. The
success OF poultry enterprises is usual
ly measured by the extent of range
provided for the purpose. CONNER
cial plants which depend upon small
yards are usually short lived Better
sanitary conditions would yield the
farmer more satisfactory results.
Locating the Poultry House.
The most common mistake made in
locating the farm poultry house is that
OF placing II so close to other farm
buildings that the hens over-run the
latter. The usual plan OF locating the
poultry house between the barns and
the dwelling house 10 especially dis
agreeable since II encourages the hens
to not only overrun the barns but the
back porch or the house as well. This
habit Is encouraged by throwing the
crumbs. table scraps, etc, out from
the kitchen door. Under such condi-
tons poultry keeping is not only UNI
pleasant but impractical and the read
err is urged to consider these points in
the selection OF satisfactory site.
A low spot is unsuitable for poul.
try house because surface water Is apt
to accumulate and damp air always
settles liz such place: Land which
is naturally wet either because Of the
nature OF the soil or because Of springy
conditions should be properly drained.
Muddy quarters cause fowls to con-
sumo large amounts OF filth. This in
addition to the dampness OF such
location results in unhealthful fiocks.
There is also the probability OF the
eggs becoming dirty. resulting in an
inferior product even II thoroughly
cleaned. A wind break should be pro-
vided which will not only AFFORD pro-
lection from disagreeable winds but
furnish an abundance OF shade. II
possible the house should be located
upon a south or east slope. This Is
not so important, however. as conven-
fence to other farm buildings. The 10
cation OF poultry house in an orchard
is ideal II the trees do not shade the
runs so that they remain damp.

CRUSHED STONE

Crushed stone is the largest factor
OF the stone industry in the United
States. Figures showing the value
OF crushed stone were first publish
ed by the United States Geological
Survey in 1893 and amounted TO A,-
03i, ii5. BY 1913 the output was
valued at over s3i 100000. OF late
years stone crushed for concrete
making has largely taken the place
Of building and foundation stone.

Essentials Of q Poultry HOUSE.

Essentials Of q Poultry HOUSE.
Simplicity and economy in construo-
ton. perfect dryness. good light and
ventilation with due regard to com.

poultry house. Expensive equipment
and artificial conditions are unnecces.
sary and undesirable. Many poultry
houses are lacking In the necessary
amount Of light and fresh air. Others
have an abundance Of these essentials
but disregard the comfort OF the stock.
Plain houses with interior fittings Of
such nature that they can be easily
cleaned are desirable because in such
houses II is easy to destroy vermin.
Width.
Narrow poultry houses are more ex-
pensive to construct for q given
amount Of floor space than are wide
ones, besides compelling the birds to
roost near the open or muslin front.
Breeding pens are sometimes built only
eight feet wide, but no house should
be less than IL feet wide unless for
special purposes and for the former. Q
house IA feet up to 20 feet wide. For
fiocks OF one hundred hens q house
20 feet square is the most economical
to construct Houses are rarely seen
which are wider than 20 feet.
Height.
The height of poultry house should
be sufficient to enable a person to
work conveniently. The wider the
house the higher the walls should be
in proportion. It is necessary to have
the rear side Of the house over four
is used. In houses which have their
highest side facing the south, the front
should be not less than six feet high.
The other feature which determines
the height OF the south wall 10 the
necessity Of admitting sufficient light
Scratching Shed.
The modern poultry house Is a prod
uct of evolution. The artifically heated
house grew into disuse because Of
expense. and weakened vitality Of the
stock. This type was followed by the
excessive glass front house which gave
way to the house with the scratching
shed. This was brought about be-
cause the need Of fresh air became ap-
parent. Various means were resorted
to to secure this condition. Lean-tos
were added to the ends In some
houses the roosting quarters were
placed In the back Of the house with
partitions of muslin fronts for ventila-
tion. the partition gave way to a cur
tain Of muslin frame which dropped
down In such a way as to enclose the
birds In a small roosting space.

winter and early spring, but u con-
sistent attention is given TO trees

10 cut many large limbs and leave
so many large wounds. Wounds
over an inch and half in diameter
should be painted with some kind
~ paint in order 10 protect the
wound until Il has had chance
90 heal over.
In cutting on limbs the cut should
always be made parallel 10 trunk

limb is removed. Wounds made
by pruning this way heal quickly
Open wounds and bruised places
should never be allowed TO remain

vitation for the entrance OF wood

ally kill the tree, or so weaken
IL that its usefulness is seriously
damaged.
The pruning tools should be kept
sharp, as a smooth cut will heal
over more quickly than ragged
one.
In cutting of large limbs always
make the under cut first and avoid
splitting when the limb falls.
The az has no place in a mans
orchard as a pruning tool. Please
do not use IL as such. Ax-pruning
is a bad sign for any farmer.
No one should attempt TO prune
