NEW TRIAL GRANTED.
Law Court Sets Aside Verdict in
Wooster.Fiske Case.

Law Court Sets Aside Verdict in
wooster-Fiske Case.
The law court yesterd day handed down a
rescript in the Hancock county case OF
Ernest w. Wooster versus Allen A. Fiske,
granting the motion Of the plaintiff for a
new trial.
The rescript drawn by Associate Justice
George NJ. Hanson is as follows:
Action of trespass to recover damages for
injury to the plaintiffs land in the town Of
Hancock.
The jury found that the road in question
was a a public way, and In SO finding erred.
The instances Of use OF the road from ali the
witnesses during its history are confined to
individuals having private interests in ad-
joining lots, and by sportsmen, and such use
was not made by any Of these as travellers as
of right, but privately; and, the contrary not
appearing, presumably by per mission. There
is no evidence that ordinary travel ever
passed over the road from one end to the
other, or that IL was ever dedicated to public
uses or that any owner Of the land ever as
sented to its use for public purposes. as a
pubic way
Dedication exists only when so intended by
the party, and permissible use does not
prove 1t.
Where there has been cessation for TWEEN
ty years. unexplained, to use way originally
acquired by use, II Ia regarded as presump-
ton, either that the former presumptive
right has been extinguished in favor Of some
adverse right, or. when no such adverse right
appears, that the former has been sur
rendered, or that it never existed.
Motion sustained.
New trial granted.

PURE BRED POULTRY.

Pure bred or standard bred poultry
possesses many advantages over mon
grel or scrub stock. Experience has
proved that pure bred stock. bred for
egg production, will lay larger num-
Der of eggs than common mongrel stock
Of mixed breeding.
Pure bred stock is bred for a pur
pose; mongrel stock is not. There are
breeds for show, for egg production,
meat production and combination Of
the latter two purposes.
Pure bred stock produces an improv-
ed quality of meat. The eggs are more
uniform In size, shape and color and al
ways bring premium over mixed eggs
In the market.
A flock of pure bred poultry makes
very pleasing appearance. The own
er takes pride In them and hence gives
them better care and feeding.
Pure bred stock will find quicker
market and always has greater sell
ing value. .i4s. ~
The initial cost Of starting with pure
bred birds Is SMALL the advantages arc

SONS It is good poultry economy to pre-
vent the laying of soft sheIled eggs.
But the worst effect is that soft shelled
eggs are liable to introduce egg eat
ing into flock. A hen WIN sometimes
lay soft egg on the ground The in
closing membranes are easily broken
by the hens foot or beak, and she may
turn around and deliberately eat her
own egg. If other hens are around
they will soon join In tho feast The
result may be the beginning Of the egg
eating habit.
The absence Of thici, cnicarecus
covering ON an egg h an indication Of
abnormaifty. The cause may be that
the hen Is too fat, has not been pro-
vided with shell making material or
does not eat enough Of II for shell
purposes when It has been provided.
II overfatness Is the cause Of soft
shelled eggs the fowls should be fed
more spar1ngiy, should be given more
oats and less corn and should be made
to scratch for all the grain they do
get. Fatness prevents the shell glands
In the oviduct from performing their
natural functions. In that case she'll
deposition does not occur, even when
sufficient lime making material Is fur
nished 10 the fowls.
Many grain feeds contain in them
selves enough calcium for shell forma-
ton, but usually this supply is not suf-
fcient Under domesticated conditions
Il is necessary to provide laying hens
with an abundance Of ground oyster
shell and grit, which should be kept
before the fowls all the time In self
teSding hoppers. ~ $3.50 ~
Even then Some hens win not eat
enough of these materials to supply
their normal requirements for shell
formation. At the Pennsylvania ex-
pertinent station 1t was noted that
hens taken from the same general
flock developed pronounced preference
for amounts Of oyster shell. Those
that showed indisposition to consume
enough oyster shell TO inciose the eggs
properly vere given ten grains Of pow
dered oyster shell daily In capsules.
After awhile, under this treatment,
the egg shells resumed their ncrmel
strength. thickness and texture.
When q dry mash or wet mash Is
fed q handful Of sifted lime to each
ten quarts of mash will frequently
supply the calcium deficiency Of the
ration. During winter, when fowls are
much confined. laying hens will eat
readily Of mixture Of Eve parts of
clay sofl to one of softened lime or
powdered oyster shell, These materials
should be well mixed and then made
wet This not only provides lime, but
also gives tenacity and hardness to
the shell, which are especially desir-
able for eggs intended to be used or
shipped for incubating purposes.

sterina Late Cabbage.

Late cabbage can be stored In the
field and kept in very good condition If
care Is taken to keep the water away
from it, says the American Agricultur-
list. A trench three and one-half to
four feet in width Is dug in well
drained location In the field where the
cabbage is grown. 1t * dug to depth
of about ten or twelve inches, the dirt
being thrown out on either side. The
cabbages are pulled up by the roots
The loose outside leaves are carefully
wrapped about the heads, each In turn
being placed In the trench, roots up,
Three rows are laid In tho bottom Of
the trench with the cabbages as close
together as possible. A second tier of
two rows is placed In the snrre manner
between the rows of roots % the bot
tom tier. As fast as the ,abbages are
harvested the trench is extended across
the field.

horse manure to a depth OF six or eight
inches is put on over the clay at about
freezing up time A small drain ditch
Is usually dug about foot out ON each
side to help in keeping water out of the

Yearling hens of the yellow legged
breeds that began to lay early in the
spring viii have pale legs In the fall.
The heavier the layer the whittier the

According to Professor Il. p. Clayton
Of the Mississippi Agricultural and Me-

ger Of heating or molding. The fodder
should not be wet when shredded and
stored, but damp days are preferable
for doing the hauling and shredding
because the blades are more pliable,
and the fodder Is therefore handled
with less waste. But In some sections,
especially In northern states, where the
corn IL full OF sap when cut and where
damp fall weather prevails, much care
is necessary In storing corn fodder or
slower to prevent heating and molding.
In such localities 1t should be placed

or eight feet In thickness, or II shred
ded layers Of dry straw several inches
deep should alternate with layers Of
the shredded slower. The depth Of the
layers of slower can vary from several
inches to foot or more, according to
its dryness when stored. The dry
straw will take UP some Of the mois-
ture from the slower and prevent heat

$1Oo,ooo FUND FOR BoYs OR GIRLS
E. B. Atwood To Aid Young People
 Gain Education.

Eugene B. Atwood of Stonington, an owner of the Atwood Machine com pany, has established fund of $100, ,000 for the purpose of assisting any de- serving boy or girl, unable to help themselves. to obtain a professional or business education. Announcement of inc establishment of the fund was made Thursday by State Attorney H. A, Hull of New London. who with his son, Attorney c. Hadlai Hull, will man. age the fund
 The fund is to be known as the Eu- gene Atwood fund and it will become operative in the fall. MT. Atwood has already made provisions for the money and only 9 few minor details remain to be arranged.
 The fund is safely invested and the income is to be used for the purpose intended by the donor, subject to the judgment of the managers, State At 1 torney Hull and his son. Major Hull stated that he and his son are to in Yite several prominent persons to act WitG1 them in making the selection of the beneficiary and to constitute a sort of advisory and management | board.
 The fund is restricted in no sense whatever. It is MT. Atwood's idea to assist any boy or girl who is unable to help themselves to obtain a college or business education, and this idea | will be adhered to in every respect by the managers.
 Although there are no restrictions the fund will be used principally for | the benefit of boys or girls who have worked industriously but are compelled to abandon school or college because of lack of money. If these boys or girls are known to have worked hard, ap- piled themselves to their studies and are found to be worthy and deserving I otherwise, they will be assisted by money from the Atwood fund
 Ut is quite likely that most of the l money from the fund will be provided l in cases where boys or girls desire g college education and either have nc money at all after leaving high schoo or have some but not enough for the purpose. On the other hand, cases may arise where worthy boy or gir might need assistance in a bushes: career, in which event money from the
 fund will be available. The intention
 of the fund is to help a boy or gir
 make good in whatever way he or sht
 may be inclined.
 The money thus advanced is not in
 tended as charity in an offensive sens,
 but as benefaction. In fact, tn, money will be in the nature of a loan
 succeeded he or stle will undoubtedl,
 be willing and glad to return tn money given them for the purpose O
 assisting someone else
 There are no restrictions placed a
 to the locality from which deservinj
 boys or girls may be selected. Tn board may choose anyone from any
 where in the state, although boys an girls from this section will be give
 the preference, and it is unlikely tha
 anyone from a distant part of the stat will be chosen in view of the fact tfla there are numerous boys and girls il this section who will be found worth ? of assistance under the provisions c ) I the fund.
