In speaking of the poisoning of
dogs in New Albany, Editor Tay
lor of the Mirror says:"lt is oni-1
opinion that a poisoner is below
contempt, whether it be a Ilea bit-1
ten cur or a helpless millionaire
such as Sclienk et. al. that gets the'
dose." Our sentiments exactly, j
Bro. Taylor. The dog poisoner
has been getting in his work in La- j
porte and while it may be true
that there is a surplus of the Canis
family in this borough, we think I
the dropping of poison in various,
places is a mighty poor way to (lis- 1
pose of them. It also places a i
tempting bait in the way of good '
dogs that some one pays taxes on j
and is the personal property of I
some citizen. If allowing dogs to 1
have the freedom of the borough for
a parading ground is a menace,
why not pass an ordinance compell
ing the owners to register such as
are valuable as pets or otherwise,
and cause them to place a tag on
each dog. Then appoint a dog
catcher to capture the vagrants'
and do away with them in a prop
er manner. This looks to us like
,a much better plan than sneaking
a death dealing dope in the path of
the unsuspecting pup. Think it
over.
A sad faced editor with fringes
on the bottom of his trousers and
the wind sighing mournfully
through his whiskers sat in his
sanctum—thinking. Presently a
shadow fell across the room and a
shrill voice demanded ti know if
he was the editor. "Yes sir,"
said he with a look of alarm. The
owner of the voice mopped the
tkor with the editor and went his
way. Thank heaven said the
editor, after he had gathered to
gether the wreck of his former self
and had straightened up the furni
ture, "life is worth living. I ex
pected he would tell me to stop
his paper."/—Ex.

TURKEY CULTURE—SALLY VER
SUS MARY.
For pure bred poultry pessimism
talk turkey to farmers in the gobbler
graveyard belt.
"Go talk to Sally," said one of these.
"She's got one turk left out of sixty."
Sally blamed the weather man.
"Too turrible soppy fur poults," said
she. "When the atmosphere's ogin
poults they git eholrey an' sniffles."
But "between you, me and the gate
post" Sally was to blame, for she
hadn't changed stock in ten years,
bred only from young birds and rear

BEAUTY AND HER NEST.
Ed the poults with lousy clucks, fed
them pasty cornmeal and housed them
in dirty boxes.
Rut one day we found a farmer
chock full of turkey enthusiasm.
"Yep," said he, "our turkeys are a suc
cess, but <;o and talk to Mary about
it. Mary's the turkey raiser." We
found Mary, a pretty, dimpled milk
maid, and it was pleasant to talk to
her.
After we htul snapped her favorite
hen, Beauty, and while we sat and
admired Mary and her turkeys she
told us the following interesting tur
key tale:
"Turkeys should he bred from adults,
kept strong by new blood every year,
nnd poults should be hatched and rear
ed by Mother Turkey for success.
"Chicken hatched poults are Inferior.
Hen lice kill them quicker than tur
key vermin. Hens feed poults (11th
and drag them to death.
"I dust the turkey three times dur
ing hatch—the hen and poults both
when she comes off—and put a little
sweet cream on the poult's heads to

kill bead lice and go over tbem every
week for lice until they are six or
eight weeks old.
"I house them inn large box, with
screen front toward south, and move
tills box daily so they sleep.on fresh
ground, and when poults are able to
get over the foot screen of their small
yard I turn them loose, but always
feed at nights to lure them home.
"Cottage cheese is same as meat to
turks, and I make it tills way: I let
skimmilk set in 80 degrees heat, and
when sour I stir it and then keep It at
00 degrees for twenty minutes and
then liaug it in a bag to drain.
"I am careful not to overfeed and
vary the ration thus: For breakfast
1 chop a hard boiled egg with crisp
dandelion and sprinkle with grit; for
dinner, dry sweet breuderumlm and
cheese; for supper, half an egg, cheese
and young onion tops cut fine.
"I lead them with good chick feed
to red wheat, the standard grain for
turkeys. With grit and water before
them and such fare the poults quickly
grow, and soon my troubles are over,
except to save them from storms and
bring theoi home ut night."

Resolutions of Respect.
The following resolutions were
adopted by the Sullivan County Bar
Association held in the Court room
Monday:
In the matter of the deatli of Hon.,
Thomas J. Ingham, a member of the
Bar of Sullivan County.
Now, February nth, 1911, the
death of Hon. Thomas J. Ingham of
Laporte, Pa., is announced and the
members of the Bar, desiring to place
upon record an expression of the
respect and affection in which they
held the beloved President of the
Sullivan County Bar Association,
adopt the following minutes:
Thomas J. Ingham was born in
Bradford County, Pennsylvania, in
the year 1828. lie died at Laporte,
Pennsylvania on Feb. 11, 1911, in
the 83d year of Ids age.
lie came to Sullivan County to
assume the duties Depuly Prothono
tary of this Court in the year 1851.
Practically his entire life since that
time was spent in Sullivan County.
He came shortly after the County

his life into the life ot the County,
lie has become inseparable from it.-
history and a part of all that is wor
thy of remembrance therein. Ad
mitted to the Bar in 1860, for fifty
years ho has borne a conspicuous and
honorable part in the transaction of
the business in this Court, for eleven
of them the President Judge thereof.
He has filled nearly every elective
office in the gift of the people of this
County, among others Prothonotary,
Representative, District Attorney
and President Judge. It is impossi
ble that any man should have filled
the places that he occupied as a re
suit of mere chance. Under our sys
tem of government, no man can
achieve preferment and retain same
for years without merit. His life
illustrates that industry and integ
rity added to an honorable ambition,
command the key which opens the
way to distinction, lie filled many
places of public trust and it may be
truthfully said of him that in all of
them he was faithful to duty.
As a lawyer, he was painstaking
and accurate, a safe adviser, a sturdy
advocate, a dangerous adversary.
Faithful to his client and frank with
the Court, to his opponent in a cause
hi- was the perfection of courtesy.
A lawyer of the old school, lie held
personal and professional integrity
above mere financial gain.
llin career as Judge sustained his
reputation asa lawyer. Industrious,
careful, impartial, his record on the
bench sheds luster on the history of
the Hth judicial district of Pennsyl
vania.
As a citizen, he was clear sighted
and public spirited. Every worthy
cuise found in him a friend and
champion. In every relation of life
as husband, father, brother and
friend, he was always faithful to du
ty. He has furnished a grand illus
tration of tl)e power for good of a
human life consecrated to the high
est and noblest aims. Everything
he did, he did well, and his charac
ter remains as an example ami a pre
cept to those who come after him in
the profession of which he was so
conspicuous and so honored a mem
ber.
In the fullness of years and hon
ors, he has passed from among us-
May he rest in peace.
Resolved that the Court be re
quested to enter this minute upon
its record ond that a copy of same be
delivered to the bereaved family of
deceased by the Clerk.
Respectfully submitted,

In the death of ex-Judge Thom
as J. Ingham of Laporte, the
northeastern part of the state loses
one of its most distinguished men,
and one who during his long and
active career served the people
most importantly. He was a law
yer of the old school, and one who
was an acknowledged leader in his
profession. As a judge he display
ed both an analytical and an im
partial mind, his record upon the
bench being one of credit both to
himself and the district over which
he presided. His literary tastes
and attainments were displayed in
many articles that have appeared
in print, and as a conversationalist
and companion he was most delight
ful.—vWillianisport Sun.
