The old rule that two years was the
limit for hens and all three year old

GOOD ROADS SCORE KNOCKOUT

GOOD ROADS SCORE KNOCKOUT
The Minnesota good roads idea has
scored another knockout during the
past few weeks. In the old days a
rainfall such as we experienced last
week would have completely stopped
all highway traffic. While people do
not grow enthusiastic over taxes OF
any description, there is general
disposition Inc Minnesota to regard
the motor and gasoline tax which pro-
vides money for road Improvement as
a profitable investment, rather than
an expense to the people who own
and use motor cars.-Jackson Pilot.

CoLoRED BANDS FOR HENS.

While a poultry flock owner can
still tell the young pullets from the
old hen, it is good idea to band all
the young pullets with colored leg
bands. Marking the flock in this way
helps in culling the hens later in the
year. Egg production usually de-
creases with age until finally hens be-

some distance. The holster of a
revolver was dropped by the fleeing
man and on searching the car for
liquor, q fine and complete set of
burglars tools was found in it. The

FARMINCTON
Peculiar Accident
At FarningtOn

A peculiar accident happened in
the busiest section of the bust
ness part of this village. which
by the merest chance had no
very serious results. A saddle
horse belonging to Pearl Nickerson
and ridden by Miss Fern Cooling had
a tantrum and got beyond her con-
troll, colliding with big new sedan
driven slowly by Mrs. Cuirier C.
Holman. A leg of the horse went
over the bumper. was caught under
the mud guard and horse and rider
were thrown. The young lady was
not hurt, but the mud guard had to
be removed before the horse could be
extricated. and as the horse objected
it was quite a job and took some ten
minutes to do it. The horses leg
was badly cut and scraped. and ii
was thought to be broken but this
proved not to be the case. There
was considerable excitement and a
| crowd gathered. but nobody is con-
| sidered in any way to blame, the
horse alone being responsible for the
accident.
