NORWICH ART ASSOCIATION

\
 Monday evening the annex of Slater hall was crowded to the doors by mem bers of the Art Students Association and their guests. The program was an unus- ual one, very artistically presented. His torical and ancestral treasures in the form of rare fans were loaned by people in town and these were on exhibition in the hall. There were antique and mod ern Spanish fans, the property of Miss Ruggles, brought here in 1872, including fans decorated from bull fight, and also funny little flag shaped fans sold to the audience at q pull fight for the equiva- tent of one half cent. There were antique and modern French, Cuban, Mexican. Chinese and South Sea Island fans; lace, feather, and painted fans with exquisitely carved sticks of mother of pearl, ivory, bone. amber and sandal wood A val uable wedding fan loaned by the Misses Trunbull had been carried in 1761 and this portrayed the questionably suitable subject of Abraham sacrificing Isaac. Ali tique Spanish fans purchased by the Misses Sayles in Mexico were among the gems of the collection as was also the wedding fan of Mrs. William A. Aiken and one carried by her mother Mrs. Will liam A. Buckingham.
 Mrs. William Tyler Browne in the cos tune of a lady of the court of Louis KY read a most interesting paper on fans which helped her audience greatly to enjoy intelligently the collection on view. Mrs. Brown made a close study of fans exhibited in the Metropolitan Muse unl and elsewhere. preparatory to writ ing this paper in which she gave the history Of this accomplice of comfort courtship and convention, beginning with the first standard fan invented in China in 2669 B. c. As early as 1106 B. C., the fan was mentioned in Chinese poem. At Boulak, near Cairo, is wooden fan handle taken from the tomb of Ahenho- tep, 17th century B. c. The folding fan was invented in Japan in the 7th century and it's first form is in the hands of the 1 figure of the Japanese God of Happiness, 670 A. D. The bending fan belongs to the period of Charles V on France in the | 14th century and the first folding fan in l France came with Catherine de Medici in 1533. The period of the Louis brought the art of fan making to it's zenith, and | in the reign of Louis XIV the very finest work was done in it's history.
 A perfect representation of g. folding | fan with sticks 13 feet long was erected at the front of the hall. In an opening tn | the middle where a picture might be painted, three successive tableaux were posed. The first was Watteau picture exquisitely French and dainty in every detail, charminsly posed by Miss Hazel Fletcher, Miss Marian Williams. and Miss Ruth Dcring. During the tableau Boc- cherini's Minuet was played and 1t wal 1 followed by a group of Arcadian French songs of the 17th century sung by Mrs

 From to 6 goose eggs may be set under chicken hen and 10 or Il under goose or turkey. Eggs set under hen should be turned by hand the same as eggs in an incubator as they are too large for the hen to turn them readily. Hens used for matching goose eggs must be dusted with insect powder and have good attention, because the De- rfod of incubation of goose eggs is long CT than for hens eggs, being from 2S to 30 days. Dust the hens thoroughly two or three days before the goslings are 4ne to hatch. Goose eggs also may be matched in incubators and the goslngs successfully raised in breeders, although t Is not common practice.
 Gosl1ngs hatch slowly, especially under hens, and they are usually removed from under hens or geese as soon as matched, and kept in covered basket or box lin- ed with warm cloth or flannel near the stove, until the matching is over, when they are put back under the hen or goose. Goslings matched under hens should be examined for head lice and a little gTease-lard or vaseline-applied with the fingers on the head and neck. Some breeders who hatch with both geese and hens give all the goslings to the geese, which make the best mothers A few breeders prefer to breed the goslings artiffcially. keeping them from one to three weeks in the house at night in a covered basket.

BEST POULTRY HOUSE FLOOR.

Cement floors for poultry houses arc championed by some poultry growers, while others declare 8 good dirt floor is the only kind to use. The fact is, poultry specialists in the United Staates Department of Agriculture say that there is no one best kind of floor. It all de- bends on the soil, and the use of the house as to which type is t. he pre- ferred.
 On light, sandy, well-drafned soils a dirt floor is satisfactory, especially for small or colony henhouses. Such floors should be from to 6 inches higher than the outside ground surface, and it is ad- viseable to renew them every year by removing the contaminated surface down to clean soil, and to reil with fresh sand or fine gravel and earth.
 A board hoor is generally used where the level of the floor in the house is from 1 to feet above the ground surface, and in portable houses on land which is not well drained. Board floors harbor rats. and rot quickly, and should be raised some distance CR thu ground SC that cats or dogs can get under them and allow a free corculatiOn of air to prevent the wood from getting rotten. Cement floors are adapted to perman. ent laying houses, to brooder houses, in. i cubator cellars, and to all permanent houses where an artificial aocr Is re quired, and can be built on rl,e ground level These floors are asy to clean, very sanitary, rat proof. and comparativelH ! inexpensive, if one has cheap supply ! of gravel or sharp sand.

then set the cans of milk in a we'll in- sulated tank filled with water below 40 degrees. A 10-gallon can of milk pre- cooled with water ae 55 degrees and then set in a tank of ice water at 37 degrees can be cooled to 30 degrees in 20 min utes.
 The use of surface cooler is espe- rially necessary when the time between milking and shipping is short. If warm milk is run over a surfade cooler and then set in tank of water cooled to 40 degrees or below, it should not be hard to cool milk to 50 degrees within an hour after milking.
 Milk sours very rapidly at temperatures above 60 degrees and, therefore, should be kept below this temperature and prefer ably below 50 degrees while ell route from the dairy to the market. Preceding in the dairy before shipment helps keep the milk sweet in transit.

RAISING GEESE

Geese are fed a ration to produce eggs during the latter part of the win ter (about February 1 in the northeast ern section of this country) or so that the goslings will be matched by the time there is good grass pasture. They are allowed to make nests on the floor of the house, or large boxes, barrels or shelters are provided for that purpose.
 The eggs should be collected daily and kept in a cool place where the contents will not evaporate too freely; if kept for some time they may be stored in loose bran. The first eggs are usually set under chicken hens, while the last ones which the goose lays may be hatch ed under either hens or the goose. If the eggs are not removed from tns rest n

This is perhaps the best method of apply ing water to garden crops wherever the conditions are suitable for it suse, as the water goes direct to ;he roots of the plants and the surface remains dry, mak- ing it possible to keep up continuous cui- tivation. The objection to the system Is that it is rather expensive to install, but when once in place it will serVe for many years.

COFFIN TRUST IS DENIED.

Washington. Aug. 2s-Denfal was made today by Colonel Guy D. Golf, assistant to the Attorney General, that the Department of Justice had instituted any Investigation of or was ready to proceed against any so- called "coff1n trust"
 There's nothing in it. We never heard of such a thing said Colonel Golf 'I don't hesitate to say that if we did have such facts we would begin action. But we have not ob- tained such evidence in this depart ment.
 ''It may be that some District AL torney, somewhere in the country, has uncovered evidence leading him to the conclusion that there Is a coffin trust But we don't know of it. We have been asked E&1y times yesterday about this statement, but I repeat, I don't know anything about it.'
 The statement that the Federal Trade Commission had been conduct ing an inquiry into fhe costs of mak- ing collins and that this evidence would be used as a basis for prosecu- ton was also denied.
 Colonel Golf said he was going to New York and while there he would inquire whether the Federal authori- ties in that city had uncovered any special evidence concerning the al- legged "coffin trust

 July in facf was not so hot as peo-

 Since 1872 there have been eight years in which the mean tempera- ture in July varied only a degree or
 so from 76. which was last month s
