10 Essex County Herald
Although the October term Of
county court has been in session one
week the first case is not yet finished.
This one: The Farmers Company
VS.. Sandwich Manufacturing Co. has
possessed more than ordinary inter
est. 1t has involved a breach Of
warranty in the sale of a hay press
with all the attendant damages.
Specimens of the wood and iron of
which the press was constructed have
been in court for the purpose o
showing defects, and much testimony
on the difficulties in the operation of
the machine has been introduced
Harland B. Howe has been on tn
firing line with his attorneys ant
has seemed to enjoy suggesting and
directing a vigorous fight for re-
covery of damages. The opening
argument is now being made and
the cas- omitted tonight
or in the morning.
The next case for trial is j. L..
Robert VS.. Fitzgerald Land and
Lumber Co., the nature of which is
such that considerable time will be
required for it's trial. In fact, it
looks as though November would
not see the end of the session. The
illness of Judge Slack caused the loss
of two days last week; but, never
theless, the second case will be well
on it's way before Saturday noon.

"A regular Croesus, they say-just
inherited something like three mill
lions"
What is he doing in this dead burg,

why, a part of the estate of his
uncle is located here. Young Talcott
has come here to settle it up. Closed
up most of it. You remember Colonel
Ransom? Used to live here-big
house on the hill. Regular barracks,
empty for years. Talcott wants to
sell it."
The object of all this discussion,
Lysle Talcott had appeared at Rush
ton in the semblance of young nabob.
There was no doubt that he was a
most fortunate heir, for the Ransom
estate was conservatively estimated at
over million.
Talcott had found little difficulty in
disposing of two farms and some cen
trail business property, for he was will
ing to give bargains. His wealth had
come to him Unexpectedly and it had
dazzled him. When at his home in
the city the first word of his heavy
Inheritance had become known, he
had been taken up by certain fashion
able set who worshiped Mammon.
The Winston family had especially set
about to make him welcome into their
social circle. Beatrice Winston, hand
some as an houri, had made court to
him and he was f1attered.
Talcott was anxious to get through
with his business at Rushton and re-
turn to the city and it's rare whirl of
excitement. He had been always poor.

to eight inches deep. The gutter
should slope to one edge and also to
one end, as in Fig. 1, which shows
cross-section.
The front gate should be adiusta-
BILE, so as to close to the rear edge of
the platform. The manager may be
made of wood or cement, but in all
cases should be partitioned off so as
to keep each cows food separate.
Some stockmen object to cement floors
on the ground that they give the
cows rheumatism and produce sore
feet. If proper bedding is given,
there should be no trouble. Many
think such floor construction extrav-
agant and impractical for the average
dairyman, but it is not. While the
original cost may be a little more, it
will be cheaper in the end and far
more serviceable. Such a floor will
outwear many made of wood and will
be far more sanitary in every way.
They are easier to clean and do not
give off odors like a board floor,
which soaks up filth and causes an
ever-present odor in the stable.
The stalls should be separate so
that each animal will be by herself,
and she will soon learn to take her
own place when entering the stable.
This is not saying that good stables
cannot be built of wood, but it is to
remind the man who contemplates
building or wishes to remodel his barn
that it pays to build well.

Made a Mistake.

1t isn't always the correct thing to
be extremely polite, especially in a
subway car, where good manners are
never looked for in the hustle for
seats, says the New York Times. The
other day man and woman entered
subway car and seated themselves
on either side of a woman who was
absorbed in a newspaper. Instantly
she arose so that the couple could sit
next to each other. But neither the
man or woman showed any inclina-
ton to sit together, nor did they en-
gage in conversation. In fact, the
woman who came in with the man
gave the woman who moved up a
zero stare. Two stations down the
line the man got up rather hastily,
and alone, without as much as raising
his hat to the woman with whom he
entered. Then it must have dawned
upon the woman who was so polite
that she had made faux pas, for she
hid her embarrassment behind her
newspaper.

wear a suit which is used for no 9th
er purpose. The suit must be kept
clean and occasionally sterilized with
steam or by boiling in water. The
milking stool must also be clean, to
avoid soiling the mixers hands.
The small-top milk pail is neces'
sity in the production of clean milk,
as it presents only small opening
into which dust and dirt may fall from
the air or from the cows body. 1t has
been found by experience that the
use of this kind of pail greatly re-
duces the number Of bacteria in milk
from average diaries. Many types of
milk pals are for sale, but any tin
ner can convert an ordinary pail into
a small-top pail by the addition of
a hood.

incidentally, with his daughter, Mabel.
From the first moment his eyes rested
on her sweetly beautiful face he never
forgot it's charming outlines. Had it
been the old struggling Talcott that
had thus come across this gentle crea-
ture, his heart would have been wholly
lost. AS it was, the lure of "the only

ance, swaying variously.
He had finished up his business at
Rushton and had arranged to leave
the next day. During his stay he had
been given a room back of the hotel
office, provided with a desk and chairs,
for the convenience of those who had
dealings with the estate. He had just

BUILD ROADS IN MOUNTAINS
California Highway Commissioner
Points Way for Opening of Arabic
Lands-Convicts to Be Used.

IF you will give us the convicts to
build roads through the mountains
there are 100000 acres of arabic land
on the eastern plateau of the Sierras
that can be opened for settlement"
said Charles F. Stern, highway COM
missioner of California, in supporting
the bill which passed the California
legislature to permit prisoners to be
employed in road building.
California prisoners have not been
employed in this work other than in
small way around the prison, but
| the need of opening the mountain dis
tricts has started road building by
the prisoners.
The act just passed is modelled after
Colorado legislation, under which ex-
cellent results have been obtained
The highway department is authorized
to make requisition upon the prison
department for the number of, convicts
required, and is to organize and main
tain the camps as we'll as supervise
the road work. The prison depart
ment, however, retains control over
the discipline Of the prisoners, and, al
though the national committee on
prisons and prison labor believes bet
ter results can be had under the West
Virginia system, where the prison de-
partment maintains the camps, both
the convicts and the state Of Cali
fornia will assuredly benefit under the
new legislation.
The men are to be worked under the
honor system, and the prison depart
ment is empowered to grant additional
good time allowance to convicts en-
ployed in this work, conditioned upon
their loyal, obedient and efficient CO.
operation with the state.
To bring about the earlier co2rlo-
ton of the state highways which will
make the isolated regions accessible,
the bill went into eject ninety days
after the adjournment of the legis-
lature.
Reporting the successful passage of
the act to the national committee on
prisons and prison labor, Mr. Stern
writes: 1--WE expect to use from
1000 to 1900 convicts on our noun

Yearline Animals Will Consume About
One-HaIf as Much as Mature Stock
Keep Free From Mold.

Calves may be fed silage as soon as
they are old enough to eat it. 1t is
perhaps of greater Importance that the
silage be free from mold or decay
when given to calves than when given
to mature cattle. They may be given
all the silage they will eat up clean
at all times. Yearling calves will con-
sumo about one-half as much as ma
lure stock; that is, from Is to 20 or
more pounds a day. When supple
mented with some good leguminous
hay, little, if any, grain will be re,
quired to keep the calves in thrifty,
growing condition.
