Mr.. Perkins has wonderful

horses East. Nearly every horse
that comes from him turns
out to be good for hunting,

always in demand.
The name of his ranch in
California is Alisal Ranch,
Santa Barbara county, near
Santa Barbara. Also means

Alisal means grove Of syca-
mores. This tree is very
plentiful on the ranch, which
is of vast acreage, 11,U00 acres,

owned it. Years ago it was
granted by the crown of Spain
to Raymundo Garlic and was
owned by this family for a
long time (the forbearS and
family of Leo GARLIC the movie

Perkins some years ago. The
brand of the ranch is two
wire cuts on the off hip, and
this may be seen on Laguna
Secca.
This mare is a 6-year-old and
brown, as a foal, she was
called Camilla, but when this
name was sent in to che jockey
club it had already been taken,
so Mr.. Perkins named her
Laguna Secca, which means
dry lake.
Re was so pleased over the
winning of the Ayrshire Cup on
Saturday, and it was a most
popular win. Charlie says he
will have another horse in the

6,OOO PHEASANTS
 TO BE RELEASED
Waterbury Area to Benefit in Restocking of Game
 Birds in Connecticut

Waterbury's share of the pheas- ants to be released during the coming week in Connecticut under the direction of the state board of fisheries and game is expected to be larger than ever before. This Is due to the efforts made during re- cent months by the fish and game associations in and near the city, especially the Waterbury Fish and Game association and the Recrea- ton Rod and Gun club.
 Approximately 6,000 pheasants will be released in the state early in the coming week. The birds were recently bought at cost of about $2 apiece. The expense of purchasing and distributing the birds. therefore, will run into about $2O,000, 1t is expected.
 The state board also plans to spend about $10,00O for an addi- tional supply of pheasants later in the spring.
 According to the usual custom the birds will be released under the direction of the game wardens licity as to the places of release VIII DC lSSueu SO aS tO dItOru Al hunters fair chance of baggine the game when the time for hdnt- ing arrives.

Cutting criticism of the state
 milk control boards plan to cut
 production to 85 per cent of pro-
 ducers' quotas was made yesterday
 in Hartford at a meeting of the
 Milk Producer-D Dealers Association
 presided over by Morton E. Pier pont of this city.
 The greatest burden under the
 proposed arrangement, said Mi
 Pierpont yesterday, would be borne by the producer-dealers and
 hence the plan was decidedly un- fair. He and the other officers ol the association offered to cooper. ate with the state board in at. tempting to remedy the situation
 but declared that the burden
 should be carried more equally by the various groups involved.
 Anger Displayed
 At their meeting the officers ex- pressed anger at the boards al leged treatment of a case involv' ing a Southbury dealer whc wished to sell milk in Waterbury According to the producer. dealers, a Southbury dealer, wht has been selling milk in New York through a Newtown dealer, recent ly asked the state board if ht could sell in Waterbury as a pro- ducer- dealer.

 not sell to any dealer and does moi
 buy from any farmer he can gt ahead and write his own quota" l The alleged case was criticized

Tony Acquavia of Nauga' tuck Puts Trousers on
 Backward in Rush
Especial to The Democrat)

Naugatuck, March 31 - Athony Acquavia, better known as Tony wishes if fires have to break out they would pick better time than o'clock in the morning to occur. Of course Tony, who sleeps in the fire house, minds losing a few hours of sleep as much as the next man, but this isn't his real reason for his kick.
 Early morning fires get Tony muddled up s0 he doesn't know just where he IS at.
 When the phone Friday morn ing at, 5:15 a. m. rang announcing the fire at the carton shop in the U. S. Rubber company, Tony start ed to hurriedly don his garments. He got all dressed and ready to go when he noticed some of the fire men turning out with him were laughing heartily. Tony, being a good firemen, realized early morn- ing fires are all a part of the job, |but still he doesn't see anything very Imaginable at getting up early in the morning.
 So he investigated. He found that the back of his trousers were where the front should be, this being the cause of his mates hilar- ity.
 From now on. fires can burn merrily on if they want to, but Tony Is going to take few sec onds more time in getting dressed in order that that incident won't be repeated.

CHILD CRIPPLES'
 GIVEN TREATMENT
Child Hygiene Director Re- ports Small Percentage
 Due to POliOmyelitis

Reporting of handicapping de- fleets by physicians in the state to state department of health in ac- cordance with, the public acts Of 1883 reveals 55 per cent Of these children now under treatment, 1t is reported by Doctor A. Elizabeth Ingraham, director of the bureau Of child hygiene, in an article in this months department bulletin which was issued today.
 Analysis of cases reported shows that 82 per cent of them are eongenital deformities or the result of birth injuries" writes r Ingraham. Only II per cent are found due to poliomyelitis, which in view of the late epidemic of this disease Is less than was anticipat- ed. The defects in the remaining 45 percent of the cases reported were of such type that they pre- sumably could be improved or Cured by treatment or operation. Included in those under treatment, III have been operated on. These ligures are interesting merely as , basis for an estimate of the pos sobility of returning these children to health and insuring good and effective citizens in after life. In place Of their becoming family de- i.endents of public charges.
 "PhysiotEerapy Is the treatment now given In most cases of de- furmity from poliomyelitis; later some operative work will probably Le needed to complete the cure. The challenge in the reports thus far lies in the fact 45 per cent oi the cases are having no care. or this number a certain proportion will be capable of no improvement. Rut by some means the others Of this group should certainly have the advantages that modern medi- cine can render. Unfortunately, many families regard n crippled child as a poor little dependent who must always be looked after bv the rest of the family. Every devotion Is lavished upon 1t except the one so difficult to a mother the surrendering of the child to an institution where improvement or possibly complete cure could be effected. The child has been SC dependent upon the mother Shal she has an idea that 1t will die oi loneliness if taken away rom her She does not realize that of al children In the world these need m ost thel contact with their owf reneration and the realization that comes from tho knowledge thai ihev are not tho only unforunatt ones but are members of q large Yroilj, all of whom are making the same difficult climb toward health"

Fire Waste Contest
 Results Announced
Hartford, First; New Haven, Second - Waterbury Credited With Concentrating on Loss Reduction

Hartford finished first in fire prevention work in 1893 in the in ter-chamber fire waste cont 5t conducted by the United States Chamber of Commerce, according to announcements made yesterday. New Haven finished second and Bristol was given honorable men, tion. Last year Waterbury was given honorable mention.
 The contest rules were rather unique as far as marking up points Is concerned. For instance 25 per cent was counted for school and Boy Scout activities; 20 per cent for real inspection work; 20 per cent for results through busi- ness organizations; 20 per cent for general publicity: 10 per cent for low fire loss for the three weeks mentioned in the contest as com pared with the average of the previous year and 5 per cent for an all-year round program.
 The local officials ih charge of the. contest, Fire Marshal Dennis ]. I.ahcy and Captain George Rus sell, were not familiar with the percentage scoring, until after the contest was closed. They concenN trated upon low fire loss which gave only 10 per cent: upon an all-year-round program, which counted only per cent and real inspection and school work.
 For instance, Waterbury in the report submitted for the contest. had 432 inspections in one week and 46 addresses in schools. There were 40 fire drills given in schools There were no addresses given tC Chamber of Commerce or civic clubs. Five picture shows were given. The fire loss during the week of October 1 to October was $4,40O with 12 alarms: from
