KEENE, n. H., April 2s.-When the
Weeks case was finished the superior
court adjourned until Monday after
noon at O'Clock, when it is expected
that the next case i'll order, that of

has been sent to the jurors drawn on

that they will not be needed at court
but the present jury will be in attend

The ease against Mr.. Dinagan grew
out of the burning of the Spofford ho-

which burned to the ground over a
year ago. He was indicted and pleaded
not guilty, but the trial never has
been arranged until now Following
the Dinagan case will come the case

Shoe Bill First to go Through-Half of
State Loan Taken.

MONTPELIER, April IS. The
state treasurer has borrowed 100000
on the million dollar loan authorized
for war purposes by the legislature.
This sum will be more than enough to
meet the present situation and addi-
tional sums will be borrowed later
when it is necessary, although the rate
will be the same 3.S per cent, which
is considered the rate in the money
market, although i'll some states the
rate is higher. The newspaper reports
give the rate of the Maine loan, much
over-subscribed, as four per cent.
Until Thursday no money had been
paid out by the state treasurer on the
war loan. Auditor Gates then made
up an order on the treasurer in favor
OF Durham Brothers of Brattleboro
for shoes supplied Vermont soldiers
which will be the first bill paid under
the loan. This order amounts to 81 ,940
The Auditor has about $4,000 worth
of bills for which orders will be drawn
as they pass through the routine OF
the department.

Seeds Should Be Tested.

One of the troubles of the gardener
is poor seed. Every gardener has this
TO contend with every year and this
year it is sure to be worse because
the demand for seed is so great that
interruptions persons will sell old and
inferior seed. Some is good for years
while there are other varieties which
will not terminate after the first
year. Certain seed houses make prac-
tice of mixing old seed with new so
that a certain proportion is sure to be
poor. \ part of the work of planning
Il garden is TO get the seed early and
test its terminating qualities. A shall

Bookkeeping, Z. F. Philips.

Z. F. Philips.
An up-to-date book prepared espe-
ciallv for American beekeepers by a
specialist in the United States De
partment of Agriculture. The open
ing chapters describe bees as they
exist without man S interference thus
giving the foundation upon which
practical beekeeping rests. The bee is
treated as a living animal and its ply
sioIogy and activities are studied
rather than its anatomy. The man
agement of apiaries is presented IN a
way to give the underlying principles
rather than description of the various
systems. The chapters on sources of
honey, spring management and comb
honey were prepared under the super
vision of the highest authorities on
those subjects. The book closes with
chapter on bee diseases and enemies,
and an appendix explaining the sym
tons.

All this is as unfortunate as it is
