* NORWICH BULLETIN, THURSDAY. APRIL 30, 1914 «opycight CALF RAISING. —_— Heredity, Care and Feed ‘- Needed -to Produce Big Milkers. A. A, BORLAND, Vermont State Agricultural College. To_insure strong, vigorous calves begin caring for them before birth by siving the mother palatabis-and nutri- ious food, rich in protein and ash. clover hay, corn silage and from two to four pounds of grain mixture made of two (by weight) of oats, two parts wheat bran and one part linseed «il meat form an excellent ration for this purpose. Give grain sparingly for a few days before and after calving. It s important a calf receive the first, or colostrum, milk of the dam, being rich in mineral matter, with lax- ative properties necessary to prevent digestive disorders. Remave the calf from its dam within thres days from birth, as the sooner it is removed the more easily it is taught to drink from the pail. The first two weeks feed the calf three times daily, giving eight to ten pounds of milk per day the first week and ten to twelve pounds per day the second week. The third week whole milk may be substituted by skimmilk and a grain supplement, so by the end of the fourth week it has been entirely eltminated. The amount. of skim- milkk may gradually be increased to sixteen or eighteen pounds daily. Grain is best fed dry, beginning with a handful after feeding milk. ~When the calf is a month old and being fed ertirely on skimmilk, hay and grain, the amount of grain may be one-haif | pound daily, at the end of two months one pound daily and at the end of three months two pounds daily, and no further increase is necessary for six months., A good mixture is three parts (by weight) of cornmeal, three parts sround oats, three parts wheat bran and one part linseed oil meal. Substitutes For Skimmilk. If the skimmilk is substitutes may be used after the calf is thirty daye old. The Cornell station found dreid skimmilk powder gave the | best resuits. and Schumachers calf meal and Blatchford's calf meal gave good results, strong calves having been Taised by their use without milk. In raising_ calves indigestion or scours are often troublesome and are traced to one or more of the following causes: Too much milk, .cold milk, sour milk, unclean pails or unclean surroundings. The best remedy is to remove the cause. When a severe case appears reduce the feed at once and sive three ounces of castor oil in a pint_of mili, to be followed in four to stx hours by a teagpoonful of a mix- ture of one part salol and two parts subnitrate of bismuth three times daily until the calf improves. 8PRAY AGAIN IN MAY Perfect Fruit Admits No Insects. E. K. PARKINSON. The warm, bright days of early spring bring to life the insect world. and the annual campaign of destruc- tion begins as soon as the first leaves appear. This is, then, one of the most critical times, and the spraying which | is dome in May and June will count | for much in a steady war against these pests. The first spraying is done with copper sulphate, but when the blos- soms have formed the apple trees should be sprayed again with a solu. tion of bordeaux and paris green (nev- er spray fruit trees while in blossom) to kill the insects that were not on hand when the first spraying was done. The bordeaux may be purchased al- ready mixed and paris green added in the proportion of one pound to 150 gal- lons of boreaux. See that the agi- tator in the sprayer works freely and does the work thoroughiy, and a pair of automobile gogsles will be found very useful in protecting the eyes while spraying. The next spraying should be after the blossoms have fallen (but while the | little apples are still standing upright), using the same solution, and this is the most important treatment in the fight against the codling moth. Other Fruits to Be Sprayed. Spray the following fruits just after the blossom have fallen and use, for cherries, bordeaux to prevent rot; pears, bordeaux and paris green: quinces, bordeaux for leaf and fruit =pot; grapes (spray <hen flowers open), bordeaux for fungei: should receive the same treatmeat, gooseberries and currants, and paris green, and these should be +If fed right the first three weeks with iis, &l Prfl Chick Food 25c, 50c and $1.00 there is little chance of fatal disease.

If given proper protection the birds themselves will do wonders toward keeping down these insect pests and should therefore always be encouraged in every way possible. S COLONY HOUSES FOR POULTRY Especially Handy on Leased Land. J. W. KELLER. After the brooder, before the laying house, what then? The colony house is the answer. Chicks are generally s ready to leave the brooder at about six weeks of age—that is, when fully | feathered. They are then able to take {care of themsclves during the day- time, and, except on cold, rainy days, the question of artificial heat is not vital. There seyeral types of colony { houses, but all should have the follow- | ing features: Perfectly dry, freedom from drafts, Clean and move (this latter should be | done every on) and, Iestly, they Don't crowd the ch the colony nouse.

THAMES LOAN AND TRUST DECISION (Continued from Page Seven) With us, too, setoff is regulated by statute. Under our earliest statute, 1820, the debt due one partner Could mnot be set off against the joint debt due from the partnership. The parties were not ;dwentxcal, a then essential of mutual- Judge Loomis in Meeker ot al. v Thompson, 43 Conn. 77, has sum- marized the statutory changes from 1820, through the Revision of 1875. He shows that the amendatory statute passed in 1843, permitted a setoff by any of the defendants of the debt due him from the plaintiff against the debt sued in by the plaintiff, and that this statute was broadened by the langupge used in the Revision of 1875 that these changes had the effect somewhat to limit the scope of the word “mutual” in our statute. That pari of our statute which im- mediately concerns us is identical with “In_all actions brought for the re- covery of a debt, if there shall be mu- tual debts between the plaintiff or plaintiffs, or either of them, and the defendant or defendani# or either of them, one debt may be set off against the other.” G, S. 1802.

Pit- kin, § Conn. 3 2%, weo defined mu- tual debts, “To constitute mutuality the debts must be due to and from the same persons in the same capaci- ty.” And in Palmer v. Green, § Conn. 4 19, we held that mutual debts must exist between the parties In their own right. and be of the same kind and quality, clearly ascertained and liquidated.” The effifect of the statutory change as to parties first made in 1843, was that the debt set off need no longer be dus to all the defendants, but might pe due te any of them. Snyder v. Spurr, 33 Conn. 407. While the statutory changes have eliminated one of the fundamental es- sentials of the term “mutual” in ihe seioff statute, Viz., the necessity for the identity of the parties and thus lessened its scope, they have not done away with its other essentials. Mutual debts under our present statute are cross debts in the same capacity and right and of the same nd and quality. And so we have held smince these do- Snyder v. Spurr (supra).

The maker of this note was able to pay and therefore Worthington can- off. This rule would seem to be based upon sound reason. The endorser cannot lose if the maker be good: while if the set off be allow- ed the estaie of the insolvent may be diminished for the sole Dbeneflt of the debtor. He will thus, in_all proba- bility, by arrangement with the en- dorser pay less of his debt than any other debtor, or the endorser would get a larger percentage of his deposit than other depositors. This result would be highly inequitable. Other questions relate to items sent the Thames New York Bank. On April 7, 1913, the National Re- serve Bank of New York sent the Thames Co., “for collection and ra- mittance” items of $523.28 and $647.84. | The Thames Co. was restrained by order of Court from paying out moneys on April 16, 1913, and the re- celver appointed on June 27, and qualified on July 1, 1913. Upon Jetter accompanying these items and beneath the signature appeared following: “For collection only. credit until pald.” % On April 15. 1913, The Reserve Bank Ce., “for collection and Please do not $27.15 which was collect- ed and credited the bank on the same day, AlL thres ftems grere collected and credited the barks on collection ac count, but no moneys were set apart for their Layment. The bank at the time of the ‘collee- tions was indebted io The Thames Co., in the sum of $294.30 on general ac- count. X There was an agreement between ‘the bank and The Thames Ce., tnat | the bank should pay the Com- pany a fee for collecting items The bank was the agent to coic lect these items for the ewners; it has Co. for collection by a; the | the | remittance” | since patd their face value which amounts have never been repaid it. The bank claims that these items so collected constitute a trust fund,for it and as to them it is a preferred cred- itor and entitled to immedlate pay- ment. { | An adjudication of these questions is asked, and also as to ,whether the ‘Thames Co, can set offthe $294.30 dulk | it on general account against the sum due the bank, if this be found to be a trust fund. The endorsement of these items for collection and remittance was a re-| strictive endorsement. Firemen's Bank v. National Tube ‘Works, 151 Mass., 413, 418, It created between the sending and receiving bank the ral‘auon of princi- pal and agent. So long as the items remained un- collected the principal could conirol their disposition. The agent had re- ceived the ftems for a specific pur- pose and stood toward its principal as @ trustee charged with an active duty towards the purpose of the agency which was the subject of the trust. Dale v. Gedr, 38 Conn., 15, 18. After the collections were made the agent or trustee might have continued the trust relation, or by its conduct toward the collections have changed the relation of that of debtor and cred- itor. For example, the agent would change the relation to that of debtor and cred- itor were it to mingle the funds col- lected with its own funds, credit the collections to the sending bank under its arrangement with it to make remit- tences at specified times. If, on the other hand, it held the funds collected, intending under its agresment to make immediate remittance and for a very brief period for business convenience keeping the fund set apart or on spe-| cial deposit for its principal, there| would be no change in the relation, the trust would continue, and on failure of | the agent pending transmission of the fund, the principal would be eatitled to | them. Commercial Bank v. Armstrong, 148 U. S., 50, 56. Some of the courts hold the test is found in the ability to trace the fund, | if this can be done the trust con ues; if it cannot, the trust ceases and the principal must share with other | crgditors of the insolvent. While other | courts hold the test to be whether the relation of principal and agent has ceased and that of debtor and creditor begun. We agree the United States (Com. E strong) that the latter test the more 'satisfactory reason. Whether or not the fund can be traced is, as it seems to us, evidence of the existence or non-existence of this relation 3ut_ whatever the ground of recov- ery adopted, the claimant to the fund | must assume th: burden of proving the existence of this trust relation.

Restrained from Dividends. This order restrained the Thames Co. from paying out any of its funds or declaring or paying dividends on its deposits or capital stock. Thoe order did not in terms purport to prevent the company from m;.\}\mgi collections of items in its hands. | But when the power of the company | to remit the proceeds of its collections | was taken from it, its power to fulfil| the purposes of the agency committed to it by the Reserve bank was taken aw The bank would not have authorized ! the collection had it known that the| proceeds could not be remitted to it ith the supreme court of nk v.

The cldim collected after the order | of court of April 16th is in the same | position as the claim collected after an adjudication in Insolvency. The pro- | ceeds are impressed with a trust, the relation of principal and agert has never been transformed to that of debtor and creditor. ! As to the two items collected before | the order was passed, the facts stipu- lated do not indicate that the bank in- tended that the sums collected on these | items should be a trust fund, or be| forthwith remitted to it. The letter of | April 1ith, forwarded with the two larsest items did state that the encle |ure was “for collection and remit- tance.” Thers is nothing in the facts | presented, and no legan inference to be drawn from the use of these words | which compel the conclusion that im- mediate remittance was intended. The letter also sald: “Please do not credit until paid.” This undoubtedly had reference to the custom between banks holding business relations to credit items unless otherwise direct- | ed. And it implied that credit might be made upon collection.

We should have preferred that the record should show more fully all of the facts surrounding this iransac- tion; the relation and course of busi- ness between the Reserve bank and the Thames Co.: their mutual custom in making collections: all of thet a fee for the col- | | munications with each other: their in- tention to impress these items with a trust or otherwise: and the S = | of banks in similar transactions. | | Upon the case as presented | record we are of opinion Reserve bank as to these items is | general creditor of the Thames Co., and that the proceeds of these are not impressed with a i Against these items the R bank is entitled to set off the $ | due from it to the Thames Co, Against the $647.84 item, Impressed | as it is with a trust, the amount due | i the receiver from the Reserve bank | cannot be set off since these are neith- | ler mutual credits nor mutual debts, | Thé Thames Co. held the amount due | the Reserve bunic as trustees while the | bank owed the Thames Co. in its cor- ! porate caparcity. 5 Liboy v.

Some of the savings department de- positors claim interest at the rate of 4 per cent. up to the date of order of court (April 16)-while others claim interest at the rate of 4 per cent. up to the date of appointment of the re- ceiver. No debt can arise against an in- solvent estate in the hands of a re- cetver. From this principle comes the gen- eral rule that only claims as then ex- isting can be recognized as obligations of the estate. For this reason interest cannot be allowed on claims after the insolvency has been judicially de- clared, or that which is its equivalent, a receiver appointed pursuant to G. S. Sec. 3461. Thomas 149 U. 8., 11 White v. Knox, M1 U. S, 784; Bank Comm’rs v. Trust Co,, 70 N. H., 536, 538. A similar result followed the order 1913, made authority of P. A. #913, Chap. Sec. 10, restraining The Thames Co. “from paying its deposits or any part thereof and from declar- ing or paving any dividends on its deposits,” when such order was later followed by the appolntment of a re- ceiver on July 1, 1913. Claims which by contract carry in- terest, or those which carry interest as lezal damages for a debt already due, draw interest up to the adjudi- cation of insolvency, or the appoint- ment of the receiver, or an order of covrt made, as in_this case, restrain- ing the Thames Co. from paying any dividend.
