OF PERJURY
Homer Labranche Taken
Into Custody at Island
Pond

Following his alleged unsuccessful
attempt to gain admittance to the
United States, Hover Labranche,
aged 23, of Windsor Mills, P. O., was
held under bonds of $3.50 on charges
of perjury and fraud after he had
been given a preliminary hearing be-
fore United States Commissioner
Walter H. Cleary in Newport. Le-
branche furnished cash bail and was
allowed his freedom until he is called
for appearance in United States
Court at Rutland.
Labranche was taken into custody
at Island Pond by immigration In
spector Goodman after he had pre-
sented false birth certificate to
show he was an American citizen.
Goodman became Immediately sus-
picious of Labranche and held him
for further investigation. The pris-
oner was brought to Newport and
was given several hearings before the
Board Of Special Inquiry but persist
emily refused to alter his story, de-
claring emphaticallv the certificate
was his personal property. He was
given a chance MANY times to retract
his story but he refused until an ex-
animation of his personal effects re-
suited in the fndino of some collars
with the initials H. L. on them. The
name on the birth certificate had been
Alcide NORM. Labranche finally ad-
mitted the certificate belonged to a
friend who had loaned it to him to
aid his entry into this country.

Efficient grouping Of farm buildings
has come to be looked upon as one Of
the most important phases of erecting
farm structures, In reality, 1t is ap-
plying to the buildings that house the
various farm activities the modern
factory system of algning the various
steps In the process of manufacture
so that there is no lost motion.
Such group of farm buildings is
shown in the accompanying design for
a dairy barn, an implement house, silo
and milk house. Here the buildings
are combined so that the work of car
ing for a herd of 80 or more COWS can
be accomplished with a minimum of
labor and the feed for the animals
stored right at hand.
The barn, implement house and feed
rooms all are joined under one roof.
The silo is so placed that it is part of

the haym0w or for the storage of
small grains for the animals. This
wing is "a feet square and is connect
ed with the silo by an inclosed runway,
so that taking the ensilage out Of the
silo and carrying II 10 the hangers all
is done under cover.
The implement house is story and
a half wing attached TO the barn on
the side opposite from the feed room.
This part Of the building is 60 by "a
feet and will provide space for all the
farm implements and farm machinery.
Keeping the costly machinery neces-
sary to economical farm operation I'M
der cover saves the cost Of such a
building in a few years In preventing
depreciation OF the implements.
The buildings described are Of frame
construction set on concrete founda-
tons. The silo is Of brick on con-
crete foundation. The milk house is Of
hollow block construction. the air

prepared by the United States Depart

Many farmers know little concern
ing the individual production of their
hens and pullets, but this is a factor
In flock management which merits
close attention, particularly in view Of
the high price Of eggs during the win
ter season. 1t is relatively as simple
for the farm flock owner to keep tab
on the production Of his hens as il is
for him to keep track of the milk yield
of his cows and, in every respect, the
keeping of flock records results as
probably as where similar accounts
are kept concerning COW activities.
Efficient use of the trap nest is the
most satisfactory method of detecting
the Improbable hens and pullets in
the flock. AS soon as the trap nesting
records show that certain birds are
"lOafing on the job the quicker these
fowls are disposed Of the better, as

Such a building, or rather such a

to pay for. During the last season lt.

they are considering this problem the

weather-tight and nealthful, and equip

vices that every farmer can obtain

This design for a modern building

The worker hen-the fowl that pro-
duces perslstently and economically
usually carries ragged, worn plumage;
Is a late molter; has a red large,
sleek, plump comb; and white, thin
fiat shanks. The beak and ear l0bes
are white, while the pelvic bones are
thin, pliable, and wide apart, and the
skin is thin, loose, and shows no in
dication of hard fat. The pelvic bones
extending to the breast bone are deep
and full across the abdomen. The
breast bone is soft, pliable, and prom
inent.
Shirker hens are characterized by
neat, clean plumage; early melting
pale, small shriveled comb; yellow,
round and full shanks; yellow beak ;
creamy ear lobes; heavy, rigid, and
close-together pelvic bones. The pei
vic bones extending TO the breast bone
are shallow and narrow across the
abdomen, while the small bones on
either side of the breast bone are hard
and well covered with flesh. The skin
is thick, hard, and undertake with fat.
In making physical examination Of
the fowls for production efficiency,
hold the hen with the breast bone In
the palm of the hand with the flesh
part of the legs held firmly on either
side of the foretinger. The feeling Of
the breast bone in the palm of the
hand will indicate the quality of the
skin, while with the other hand the
examiner can measure the distance
between the pelvic bone and from the
pelvic bone to the rear end Of the
breast bone. AS he holds the bird he
also can examine the plumage, comb.
shanks, beak, ear lobes, and thus nc
cumulate accurate information for his
diagnosis of conformation and produc-
tion ability.
1t is essential that he consider all
points in respect to their importance
and not place too much dependence
on one or more prominent characters.
