LOUIS c. TIFFANY ENDOWED Supreme Court Restralns Dahnaas Q, Property on Beach Near Estats.


 Trouble has arisen once more be- tween Louis c. Tiffany, of the Brook lyn, Conn, familys and the town of Oyster Bay, N. F. Several years ago MT. Tiffany purchased LAureiton, a public picnic ground in the town. and built on the site a beautiful country home He claimed title to four acres Of land under water, built breakwa- ters, and beached a schooner, which he fitted up as bathing pavilion. Town officials asserted that Mir. Tif- rany had no riparian rights to his property, and for several years the case was fought in the courts, the sue preme court upholdfng Mr. Tiffany. and the appellate division reyersinE the decision and giving the land to the people.
 The matter was considered settled until last week, when, after many months of peace, word was brought to the Oyster Bay town board that he schooner-bafhing pavilion had been torpedoed by its former owner and the breakWaters destroyed. Accord ing to the appellate divisions decision Mir. Tiffany has injured public prop- erty, and an injunction has been ob- tatned from Supreme Court Justice Callaghan restraining him from doing further damage. Watchmen have been | stationed at Laurelton Beach with or- I ders to report any infringement of the law, and the town. officials declare they will protect town property at any cost.

HOPE FOR PARDON
 FOR ADDlE BURNS
Relatives Are Awaiting the Result of
 Recent Hearing.


 The result of the hearing held Mon day on the application of Addie Burns for pardon is waited with much jn- terest by her relatives who have made a fight for her freedom for more than four years.
 Attorney John c. Geary of New Lon don, Attorney Charles W. Comstock of Montvil1e and Attorney David E. FitzGerald of New Haven appeared for the petitioner. They all argued that the woman had been sufficiently punished.
 States Attorney filling of New Ha- ven county, who has been active in opposition to the pardon, did not ad- dress the board either for or against granting the petition. He figures in the case because May Burns. the girl upon whose representations Miss Burns was tried and sentenced, was from New Haven.
 During the progress of the Burns hearing, Governor Holcomb paid a compliment to Attorney Geary. The governor was for some time upon the superior court bench and often brought in contact with Mir. Geary in the lat ter's long practice. After MT. Geary had made certain statements at Mon days hearing, the governdr told MT Geary that he had known him many years and had never known him to make representation that were not entirely true.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

Separate the sexes as Soon as they can be distinguished. This is an irn- portant point in the production of good bullets. The cockerels, being larger and stronger, will present the bullets from getting their fair share of grain and this means that the bullets will be put still farther behind in the matter of growth. Then the fact that the chickens are growing all the time means that the houses will soon be overcrowded if some are not removed to new quarters The removal of the cockerels can be made at just the pro- per time to prevent this congestion.
 Growing chicks should have an abundance of range on clean sod- clover or alfalfa. will provide ideal range conditions. On the right kind or range the chicks will pick large part of their food in the form of bugs and worms. They will get an album dance of green food in the best possi ble form-fresh all the time. A cer- tain amount of shade on the chick l range is very desirable and almost necessary. That provided by grow ing plants is perhaps the nearest te ideal.

CULTIVATE THE ORCHARD.

This is the growing season of fruit trees and people should be assisting nature by cultfvating and fertilfzing them at this period of the year. Some people do not get around to cultivate their orchards until late in the sea son and then wonder why the wood does not harden up properly and win ten milling is so prevalent. There is little need of cu1tivating to conserve moisture supply at the present time, but there is no telling when cultiva- tion will be beneficial from this stand point. The weeds in the orchards should be kept down at this time of year and the goodness allowed to go to the trees. Those who have not fertilized their trees should do so im- mediateiy, using only quickly avail able forms of fertilizer used Orchards should be cultivated at least once every 10 days from now until the middle of July.

 Way.
 On all large duck farms it is GUS tcmary to hatch duck eggs artifcially, but on the average farms this will not prove as satisfactory as to hatch then with the mother hen. Pekin and In dian runners which are the most conI- mon in this vicinity seldom sit. Con- sequently, it is necessary to use the hen if the natural method of incuba- tton is to be followed. The period of incubation for duck eggs is one week longer than that of hens eggs. It is therefore necessary to have a strong, vigorous hen for a sitter. From to Il duck eggs should be put under one hen, depending upon the size of the hen and the season of the year. It usually takes ducklings from 24 to AS hours to hatch after they pick the shells. It is therefore advisable to ai- low the hen to get off the nest for feeding and water when the first duckling picks the shell, then con fining her to the nest until the hatch is over.
 Duck eggs need much more moisture than hens eggs and it is necessary to sprinkle them with warm water for a day or two previous to the hatch, even when they are set under hens. When placed in incubators 1t is necessary that large amount of moisture be supplied.
 The temperature at which to hatch duck eggs in incubators is one de- gree lower than the same machine would require to hatch hens eggs. l Ducks are much easier to brood artificialIy than chickens and they may also be raised under hens If raised by the later method 1t is wise I to conf1ne the hens and allow the duc1Hngs free range as the hens are liable to wander too far away with their broods. If ducklfngs are to be sold as green ducks, they should not be allowed much range, but if thes II are to be kept for breeders or fol I make them stronger and more vigor- ous and increase their size Wher ducklings are kept in breeders, they should be operated at a temperaturt of about 95 degrees for the first weel and then reduced to 80 or 86 degrees by the end of 10 days.

ALFALFA ON INCREASE IN NEW

With practically every farm bureau in New England conducting alfalfa demonstrations, and with hundreds of practical farmers increasing their acreage each year, and with the sup port of the agricultural colleges and experiment. stations, alfalfa is rapidly becoming an important crop in New England. When the land is well drain- ed and sweet, the soil inoculated, and the young plants supplied with suff1ci- ent plantfood to get a quick start and to maintain a steady growth through inc early critical stages, the danger of failure with alfalfa. is slight Sta- ble manure should be applied upon the preceding crop when available and a liberal amount of fertilizer used at the same time of planting. and as top- dressing during the following years.

POULTRY.
Summer Care of the Growing

Summer Care of the Growing
 Stock.
 The proper care of the growing chickens in order to develop a strong bunch of hardy, mature bullets by the first of next November is probably the most important problem on the poultry farm at this season. The direct object of feeding and care at this time is growth, and. since chickens always make the cheapest gams while young, the growing stock should have the very best of care. It is the environ mental conditions which are under the poultTTyman's control that largely de- termine to what extent the chicks ira- herent capacity for growth shall be utilized
 Perhaps the first point to consider should be that of culling out the weak chicks. This cuLling should begin as soon as the. chicks are taken from the Incubator and should be rigidly con tlnued all through the life of the clicks. If not discarded as soon as found, weak chicks will be constant source of expense and danger. They are always the first to become the hosts of parasites or to contract dis ease which may spread to the healthy chicks in the flock.
 l When the chicks are five or six | OA~ large grain decrease the amount of 1 chick feed and substitute scratch feed Excellent results were obtained in the station tioclos last season where equal parts of wheat and cracked corn were used as scratch feed. the dry mash consisting of equal parts by weight oi corn meal, wheat bran, ground oats flour mtddlings and beef scrap. IT addition to this, if it can be obtained the chicks should have all the sou milk they will consume. Many poul. trymen are getting excellent results b. giving their chicks no water until thes are. eight or ten weeks old, provided they are getting plenty of milk. I Teach the chicks to roost early. Pu h some low roosts before the hover, are taken away, and encourage tn chicks to use them. The sooner tn chicks cah be gotten away from arti ficial heat, the sooner will they deyel op a good coat of feathers and tn healthier they win be. As the might begin to get hot and suItry be sur that there is plenty of ventilation f the roasting houses. The chicks mua have plenty of room and plenty of ai at night or sweating and colds ar sure to result. Especially is this tru during the late summer and early fal

NEW MARK FOR
 WEEKLY PEN PRODUCTION
oreaons Beat Out the Record of Tom Barron,s White Leshorns by One Egg.

Rarron.s White Leshorns by One Ess.
 Perhaps the most significant fea- ture in the thirty -second week of the laying contest at Storrs in the fact that new high mark has been set for our weekly pen production. Nearly two years ago Tom Barronss pen Of English White Legt1orns laid 63 eggs in one week, thereby setting weekly record that has not been even equalled until last week when the Agricultural Colleges pen of "Oregons' from Cor wallis. Ore. laid 64 eggs. a production for the week of 91 1-2 per cent. P. G. Platts White Leghorns from Wall- ingford. Pa. were second for the week with yield of 50 eggs.
 Fairfield Farms Barred Rocks from Short Falls. N. H., Albert T. Lenzen's 8 White Rocks from North Attleboro, Mass. and Joseph Brandenburg' s Rhode Island Reds from Wayne, Mich, all tied for third place with 59 eggs eael1. All the pens taken together laid 4505 eggs as compared with 4163 for the corresponding week a year ago.
 A few weeks since it was pointed ot1t that the White LeghoFns were mol really contributing their share of the eggss this, however, is no longer true. Last week they laid a little beyond their prorata proportion as they pro- duced 37 per cent of the eggs that were l collected last week whereas they con- stftute only S5 per cent of the birds entered in the competition.

Many people are going to make money during inc coming years by cial spraying. There is a widespread demand for intelligent, thorough spraying, but people can not be found who are equipped and anxious to do spraying. People say that they would gladly spray their trees if they had equipment, but would rather hire it done.
