At one of the sessions the crush to get into the court room was so great that the doors were lift- ed from their hinges and once inside the room, it was impossible either to get in or out. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty in 30 minutes after a trial that was begun on Jan. 20, 1909, and the verdict was reached on Jan. 28. The woman was sentenced the same day. Her defense had been an attempt to prove an alibi. She was held under bonds of 37,000, but two days before the end of the trial, additional bonds of $3,000 were called for upon new in- formation that was filed against her. OREGONS SCORE IN EGG LAYING CONTEST. Win Honors in 35th Week With Yield of 63 Eggs. In the 35th week of the Storrs egs laying contest, the Oregons from the Agricultural college at Corvallis, Ore., won the honors for the week with a remarkable yield of 63 eggs. Tom Bar- on’s White Leghorns from Catforth, England, were second with 58 eggs, and E. A. Ballard’s pen of Leghorns from Chestnut Hill, Pa, were third with 56 eggs. Fourth plice was cap- tured by J. O. LeFevre's pen of Leg- horns from New Paltz, N. Y. Not only did the Oreszons take the high honors for the weekly produc- tion, but they have also jumped into first place, thus taking the lead from Knight's pen of Wyandottes, which they have held for 23 weeks. Their lead, however, is only one egg, which cannot be considered very serious at the present time, as there are still 17 more weeks to g0. The total produc- tion for the weck was 3,864 ezgs, which is 103 less than for the previous week and 59 less than for the corresponding week last year. Perhaps it is obvious that from now on a gradual falling off in production may be expected. This perhaps simply means that the poor producers in the flocks anticipate having a new coat of feathers. 1In order to keep the eeg production up to its maximum yield, one should dispose of all the birds that are loafing on the job. These loaf- ers can be told somewhat by the ex- ternal characteristics such as molting, color of beak, legs and vent. Egg production may also be retarded the hens being bothered with mites, M mite season is now at_its lcan easily detect these pests if pres- The experienced poultryman ent in large numbers.

Consul General George E. Anderson. Hongkong, British China, writes: For some time the chief me;t and produce concern in this part of the Far east (the Hongkong Dairy Farm Co. {Ltd.]) has been experimenting with the packing of meats of different sorts for use in outports and aboard ship, including the tinning of beef and va- rious meat products. It is mow an- nounced that the business has passed the experimental stgze and that the concern is arranging to can meats upon a large scale, Already the com- pany has secured practically entire control of the trade in haws, bacon and similar goods along {#: China coast, and its goods have oeen suc- cessfully shipped to other parts of the world, including Great Br/iin. Such an undertaking as the one now being developed is likely to have an im- portant bearing upon the sale of tinned Amsrican meats in this field. The higly exchange value of kilver has enabled American packers, so far os ehy are allowed to export at all, to remain in this field in spite of the high cost of their goods in the United States and of the excessive freights on all such products coming into the market here. Nevertheless, with even this handicap the local concern has been able to supplant practically all foreign salted and smoked meats in this part of Asia, with The exception of small shipments from Australia and the United States. With the return of exchange to a normal level the com- vely low price of meats in this and the comparatively low cost of labor will doubtless make it prac tically impossible for American pack ers to compete with local interests save only in fine and special products. The business in Hongkong depends largely upon the supply of all such Z00ds to ships as well as to the out- ports along the China coast. The shipping trade is particularly im- portant, and it is this trade that a epecial effort will be made to serve. Call for Aviator Aces.
