DRIVER BOUND OVER FOR MANSLAUGHTER .Soloman's Case Goes to Higher
 Court for Jurisdiction
 Sl,ooo BOND FURNISHED
Local Truckman Enters Plea of Not Guilty in Criminal Responsibility For Death of Frank F.. Butler Other Cases fin Court.

Maurice Soloman, driver of the au- tomobile truck that struck a touring car driven by Frank Butler of West Springfield. Mass, September 9, caus- ing injuries of so serious nature that Butler died several days ago, was arraigned in police court this morning on charge of manslaugh- ter. Judge John H. Kirkham found probable cause and bound the ac- cused over to superior court in bonds of s1.o00. Lawyer P..F. McDonough represented the accused.
 Dr. Hodgson Tcstifies.
 pr. T. C. Hodgson of Berlin who was on the scene shortly after the crash told of injuries sustained by MT. Butler. The victim had serious fractures about the lower limbs. He was also suffering internal injuries The physician also described the po- sition of the truck and the Butler car. He stamped photographs taken showing the cars to have crashed head-on, as bona-fide. pr. Hodgson took the injured man to the hospital where he died.
 Questioned by Lawyer P. F. Nc Donough, the physician said there was apparently room enough for MT. Butler to pass at either side of Mr. Soloman's car.
 Sergeant on Stand.
 Sergeant A. J. Richardson was at the scene shortly afterward. He had photographs taken which were offered and accepted as evidence. The pie lures showed Buffers Mercer tour ing car headed northerly and Solo mans truck headed in southerly direction to have crashed on the left hand side of the road a short distance below South Main and Stan ley streets. Marks on the road indi- cated that the brakes on the car were applied A feet from the spot of impact.
 In a statement to the sergeant MT. Soloman said he was going from Stan ley street into the Swamp Road when he saw Butler coming up. He was not aware as to whether Buffers was going into Stanley or South Main street. but, concluding that the former was true, he remained in a position that would allow Butler the. free use of the road to the hill. Butler made several swings, he testified, and final ly crashed into the truck.
 Measurements taken indicated that a view of traffic at the intersection is visible from cSS feet south on the Swamp Road.
 Ante Norton Statement.
 Prosecutor J. G. Woods called Ser geant Theodore Johnson to the stand to tell of the relative position of the two cars. He corroborated the testi- mony of Sergeant Richardson. The speedometers showed no indication aof speed. The sergeant read an ante mortem statement secured from the 6tcim at the hospital in which he said

State Organization Conduct
Campaign.

A special meeting of the executive
Farm Bureau was held Wednesday
afternoon in the courthouse. George
w. Hayton, president of the state
farm bureau. was present and ek
planned the work Of the Spokane
County Farm Bureau. including tn
membership drive going on at the
present time. Spokane county, NJ
Hayton said, has $500 farms and the
bureau confidently expects to get al
least 1000 members on the basis
of a ten dollar membership fee.
The membership drive was init
ated by an advertising campaign OF
two weeks, to be followed by week )
speaking campaign covering the en-
tire county, and this in turn Is to be
followed by another week OF inten-
sive work reaching every farmer in
the county by individual solicitation.
Spokane county realizes, accord
ing to Mr.. Hayton. that for its work
to be effective there must be strong
state organization, and has there
fore voted two dollars OF. its member
ship to the state bureau.
Upon admission to the bureau
ear a neophyte authorizes the organ +.
ixation to draw upon his account for
his membership each year.
Makes Fee Five Dollars.
The executive committee of the
Thurston County bureau, according
to e. B. Stookey. county agent, voted
to place its annual membership fee
On . basis of five dollars. Immed-

{ CLEANLINESS NECESSARY IN
SUCCESSFUL SQUAD RAISING

There is very little chance of max
ing money from squads, unless the
pigeons can be kept comparatively
free from disease and insect parasites
pigeon specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture point out
If healthy breeding stock is obtained
the houses and yards kept clean, and
careful attention given ito the birds,
disease and parasites should not be
troublesome factor in squad raising.
The stock should be carefulIv
watched and any sick birds removed
from the breeding pens. The house
should be kept dry, clean, we'll venti
lated, and free from drafts. Have the
floor covered with inch of fine
gravel and rake off frequently the
manure which collects on the top
Keep the yards clean either by scrap
ing the surface and adding fresh sand
or gravel, or by digging over the land
and. II possible, planting it to grain.
The nests. nest boxes, and pens
should be kept clean, but 1t is not
advisable to disturb more than neces-
sary the nests that contain eggs o.
squads. Spray the pens frequently
with whitewash containing a little
crude carbolic acid. or with coal-tar
disinfectant; examine the birds for
feather lice. which are troublesome,
having many lice should be treated
with sodium floride, either busting BY
the pinch method or dipping in solu-
ton, the latter method being pre-
should be cleaned out and the nest
ing material removed whenever dirty.

squads any more than is absolutely
necessary.

FIGHT AGAINST FRUIT PESTS
GOOD FALL AND WINTER JOB

In order to increase the production
Of fruit it is essential that fruit grow
ers wage a continuous fight on or.
chard pests. Some of the most valu-
able control work can be accomplished
during the fall and winter months.
Certain destructive insects are held
in check only by spraying during the
dormant period of trees, when much
stronger washes may be used than
when the tres are in foliage. Many
insects spend the winter on the tree
in the egg. larva, or pupal stage, and
their destruction in the course of
pruning and other orchard work ia
practicable and is of much impor-
lance in keeping them reduced. Ger
tain fungous and bacterial diseases.
particularly pear blight and apple
canker. are best worked upon at this
t1WS. - W D8l
Practically all Of the orchard scale
insects can be successfully CONTROLLED
by spraying the trees after the foliage
has dropped. This work may be done
either in the fall or during the win
ter when the temperature is above
freezing and in the spring before the
buds come out. During these periods
a strong solution Of lime sulphur is
used by great many orchardi"ts in
controlling San Jose scale and many
other serious scale pests.
Other scale insect pests, such as
the cherry scale. oyster-shell scale,
ETC.. can usually be held in check by
the dormant spray with lime-sulphur
wash. The treatment is also effective
against the pear leaf blister mite.
which is universally present on pears.
and in many localities becomes Sc
rious apple pest. Some plant lice
that are destructive especially to the
young apple trees winter in the egg
stage and are destroyed by this treat
ment. One thing that must be re-
membered in applying the dorman.
spray Is that the solution should
cover every part Of the tree or it will
not be effective.

nuts under fat requires less time than

Of the results disclosed in long Sc

pleted recently.
Twenty pounds of dough can be SC

pound of fat. Doughnuts made with
plenty Of sugar, butter and eggs alb.

rated in the dough the less the fat
absorption, but sometimes It is at the
expense of the quality Of the dauzh-
nut.
The longer doughputs are kept in
the frying fat, whether because the
fat is not hot enough or because the
are too thick. the greater
will be the amount Of fat they will
take up. At 1856 degrees centigrade

prove that better doughnuts will re-
suit with less expenditure Of time
and fuel. Dough rolled to onefourth
inch thickness can be cooked in one
and one-half minutes by this method

BRINE SURPLUS VEGETABLES


One of the oldest methods of pre-
serving food is by sailing it. When
the rush of late summer work finds
the housekeeper with more garden
products on hand than she can can
or dry, brining is the solution of her
difficulties.
All that is necessary for brining.
United States Department of Agricul-
ture specialists say. is crock or
bucket, brine made Of 2 pounds of
salt to gallon of water, cloth and
plate or board, and a heavy weight
all of which should be we'll scalded.
For best results vegetables should be
blanched in hot water or live steam
before brining. For some vegetables
a weaker brine will do. With string
beans and a few other vegetables, a
weaker brine with a little vinegar
added will give satisfactory results.
Wash the product, blanch five min
utes in boiling water or 10 in live
steam, and put 1t in the scalded crock;
add the brine, put the cloth over the
top and cover with plate or board.
Place on this scalded weight which is
heavy enough to hold the vegetable
below the surface of the liquid. Brine
of the strength given will act as
preservative without causing any
change in the vegetable.
When the vegetables preserved in
this way are desired for use they may

PUTTING FLESH ON FLOCK
AS MARKETING TIME NEARS
Four Methods Of Fattening Poulty AL.
vOcated by United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture Specialists.

| OHIlI laIc summer OF early IdlI, t0e
majority of poultry raisers make
little effort to fatton their birds. Ur
to this time the flocks are usually
left on free range and their gains
are more OF growth in size than flesh
In September, however. the wise
among those who have birds to dis
pose of confine the surplus of their
hocks and put them on a fattenins
ration.
Three methods Of fattening poultry
are practiced in this country-pen
fattening, crate fattening, and ma
chine examining. The first two are
the most common to-day, poultry spec
ialists Of the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture say. while the
third is used in few places where
fine quality Is appreciated.
Pen fattening is practiced by maMv
people who do not have time or incll-
nation to use other methods. The
essentials Of pen fattening are quite,
and plenty of soft feed given at reg
ular intervals, usually three times \
day. Birds may be kept in focks of
Is or 20. but the sexes should b.,
separated. Only cockerels are usually
fattened, as 1t pays to keep the pullets
for laying.
In crate fattening few fowls are
IN tn Nd n
trough. A crate 6 feet long. Is inches
high, and Is or 20 inches wide IL
suitable and is large enough for a
dozen birds. Sometimes such a crate
is divided into two or three compart-
ments, with four to six birds in each
compartment. Only little room for
the birds to move about is desirable,
for the less the exercise bird obtains
the more rapidly 1t fattens. The top.
back, and ends Of the crates should
be solid If they are to be placed out
doors, but II they are to be in build
ing they may be built Of lath or wire.
These stats should be inches apart
in front. so as to permit the birds to
eat from the troughs, which are hung
just outside the coop. The Stats Of
the bottom of the coop should be
about l inch apart to permit the
droppings to fall through.
In indoor feeding the crates are
placed in tiers to save space and ar
range to allow for convenience in
feeding and to give the chickens good
ventilation. They are usually fed
three times a day and are permitted
to eat for half an hour at time, when
the uneaten feed is removed. The
chickens should be given a heavier
feed at night than in the morning or
at noon.
For the highest quality machine
is essential, especially for the last 10
days; otherwise the birds will not eat
nearly so much as they can digest
and assimilate The labor involved
by this method makes the cost rather
excessive in this country. In this
method the bird is held between the
arm and side Of the operator and the

voir and small force pump, is oper-
