It is said that there is to be a gen- eral exodus of the Portuguese popula- tion of South Harwich to Onset. The Mill Bond brid ge recently con- struc ted by the stat e at Bast Fal- mouth , was unable to stand the strain of the heavy rain last Monday and collapsed. The West Yarmou th village im- provement society has voted to pur- chase a small numbe r of shade trees to :be set out by the children in the school house yard. Th e suction dredge McKenzie and the lighter Ark , having wintered at Plymouth are being put in order to again commence work on the Cape Cod Canal at Sandw ich, about April first. The biggest cargo of coal ever land- ed in Wareham was br ought by Barge Bristol recently. The load consisted of 883 tons of coal 'which was divided between the Tremo nt Nail Compan y and the Agawam Finishing Work s. The Joint Committee of Provinc e- town, Truro and Wellfleet met in Provincetown, to elect a Superintend - ent to fill the vacanc y caused by the resignation of Mr. H. N. Knox. Mr. Frank M. Rich of West Brattlebo ro, Vermont, was sleeted. Henr y Endicott , Jr., appeared be- fore the legislative committee on rail- roa ds in favor of a petition for the incor poration of the Nantucket Rail- road Company. He said that this compan y wishes to take over the prooerty of the Nantucket Central Railroad Company which formerl y operated the nine miles of nar - row gauge track between Nantucke t and Siasconset News has been received of the death of Mrs. Lewis P. Atwood, at her home in South Weymouth, after a short illness. The funera l took place on Tuesda y and the remains were taken to Pittsfield for burial. Both Airs. Atwood and her late husbiuid were well-known on the Cape, where Mr. Atwood held pastorates in South Dennis and Chat ham . Their son, Rev. Alfred R. Atiwood , also held a pastorate in Cotuit. Mrs. Elizabeth T. Taylor , widow of Capt. John Taylor of Chatha m, dropp ed dead Tuesday n ight i n a store in Boston. Mrs. Taylor was born in Chatham about 81 years ago and n?ade more than 40 sea voyages with her husband who died about 25 years ago. She crossed the equator 28 times and two of her children were born at sea. She leaves four chil- dren , Rev. E. O. Taylor of George- town, E. B. Taylor , Miss Kitty Tay- lor, and Gorham M. Taylor. The body was taken to Chatham for interment. The Farmers ' Institute at Gran ge Hall, East Sandwich was att ended by several from West Barnstab le. There was an audience of about thirty pres- ent, nearly everyone a practical poultry grower to a greater or less extent. Rev. W. H. Davenpor t gave as advertised , "A Plain Poultry Talk ior Farmers. " The time passed only too quickly •before he had finished all he had in store of poul try informati on. Some of his strong points were : Keep the breed of hens you like best. They will be the best ones for you. Keep accurate account with your hens Keep the houses clean. They may *be open on one side. They may be kept in flock of one hundred i n one house, without harm. Feed what the hens ought to have and not what they like. Know iwhich hens lay and which do not. The speaker told of a very pretty hen that was a year and a half old that never laid an egg and never would. Another hen, now eight years old, has laid many eggs and is now lay- ing to the satisfaction of her owner. The speaker recommended using an eight acre lot with hen houses ia th e centre, for ?00 hens allowing 1-2 sq. rod to each hen. This lot to be divided into four lots of equal size, each lot to foe used as a hen-yard , garden or gras s lot in rotation. Use the best land you have and use the fertilizer from the hens and you will soon have a rich garden and a •heavy grass crop. Rape was stron gl y recommended as a crop for pasture; for the speaker believes that hens ought to have pas- ture. For winter feed the following mix- ture to be used dry: Beef scraps, 1 part, J easure; Meal or homing, 2 parts; Alfal fa meal, 2 parts; Mixed ¦feed, 4 parts. For summer feed omit the Alfalfa. The amount of cracked corn for fifty hens, 2 quarts i n summer and four quarts in winter. Some people twho rwere there ex- presse d a wish that Mr. iDavenport would come again and allagreed that he was one of the best speakers ever at a Farmers' Institute . At Carleton hall, Dennis , last Tues- day afternoon, Rev. W. H. Davenport of Colrain also gave an address, on Poultr y, etc., about 75 ibeing present. Mr. Joshua Crowell of East Dennis called the meeting to order , and the ^resi ding officer was Mr. Thomas C. Thacher, president of tho Barnstable County agricultural society. Farmers' Institutes Good warm wheat makes a nice breakfast for the biddies. Skim-milk is thin looking stuff , but it may be put to good use in the poultry yard. A little more clean litter on the floors. Keep the fowls (hard at work. It is the price of health . For hatching purposes take the eggs from the hens that lay best. Build up; never let the standard do|wn. A shelf, a couple of feet below the roosts, is handy to catch the dropp- ings, and hand y to clean. And don't forget to clean it. Excelsior alsways seemed to me ra ther cold stuff to make nests of. Good fine, clean oat straw is about the best of anything that we ever tr ied. As a rule, eggs from two-year-old hens give better satisfaction at this time of the year than when fro n younger stock , and the chicks are more vigorous. The eggs of hens that did heavy laying during the winter are not so apt to be as strongl y fertilized, as eggs from hens that ira de but a fair show- ing. The last egg laid ibefore a hen goes to sitting .will often be so small that it will have no yolk at all. There is an old notion that it is bad luck to (brin g these small eggs in the house. A nest that suits the turkey hen first-r ate may be nrad e by turning a salt barre l on the side. Put straw in the hollow, and a nest egg, and cover the barrel over with brush , if youhave it hand y. Oneof my neighbors says that there 's no money - in poultry, and that the easiest way to get eggs is to buy them. He says that he keeps chickens to eat the bugs in his orchar d; pays 'em a cent a 'bu g. ¦March settin gs should not contain more than eleven eggs, tor when a lar ger number is given, the hen can not sufficiently cover them to I mpart the necessar y warmth. When too many eggs are placed in, the nest , those on the outer edge are not apt to get the amount of heat required to develop the germ and bring forth the chick. —Farm Journ al. Miss Eunice Fitzgerald, the 10-year- old daughter of Mayor Fitzgerald, Boston, christened the new sub- marine Salmon, which was launched at the Fore River yards , Saturda y morn ing.

Tuesday, Mar. 15, 1910 Fishermen- Favor Bill There was a hearing at the State House Wednesday on the Henry A. Ellis bill for legislation to repeal the law prohibiting the taking of fish by nets and seines i n the waters of Barnstable and Mashpee on Nantuck- et sound. Capt. Ansel Taylor, Eugene Cole- man, Capt. W. F. Nickerson , Clinton Taylor , Capt . Chas. A. Bearse , Capt. Orin Crosby, Andrew Nickerson , Capt. T. F. Phinney and Howard Taylor rep- resenting the fishermen of 'Barnstable and other places on the closed waters appeared in .support of the bill. The law forbidding the taking of fish in those waters with seines, they said, was a great hardship to the men who depended upon fishing for their support. They were represented by Charles C. Paine, who explained to the committee that there was no ¦good reason why those waters should have been closed. There was no opposition to the appeal presented . The Special Election of a represent- ative in Congress from the Four- teenth District , to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Hon. William C. Lovering, and for the remainder of the term from March 4, 1909, is to be held on Tuesday, March 22, the warrants for which are alrea ly posted. The contest is between William R. Buchanan, the republican .nominee, and Eugene N. Foss, the democratic nominee. The Cape republicans in caucus and convent ion almost unanimously urged Mr. Buchanan's nomination and he shoul d now receive unanimous sup- port at the polls. This is no time for an "inde pendent "' movement. It is necessary tha t the party should make a strong showing at this election. Every republican voter should exert himself to get on to the firing line and stand by the candidate fairly selected. Mr. Buch- anan is in every way worthy of re- publican support and he has the right to expect the republicans of the Cape to do their full duty under his banner. —Barn stable Patriot.

Mr. Briggs was born in Wareham , Mass., l\ov. 2d, 1843, the son of Jedediah and Mary Bod- fish Briggs . A citizen of Bourne since the in- corporation of the town, he was ever active In the directing dut ies of her affairs, serving for many years in the various offices within her gilts As Road Surveyor, School Committee , Selectman , Assessor, Overseer of the Poor, Trustee of Public Library, and as a member of many important committees, he served the town well. Not to the citizens of Bourne alone were his abilities known , bnt for many years his county honored him as one of its Commissioners. While chairman of this board, death called him away Nothing that could be of interest to his fellow- townsmen escaped his attention. Discharging every duty, none too small to be neglected; none too great to be avoided , he was a devoted citizen to his town, to his county and to his state . A strong man at the threshold of his useful- ness has been taken from ns. His monument restsin the hearts of all who knew him. "The bravest livesare those to duty wed, Whose deeds, both great and small, Are close-knitstrands of an unbroken thread - Where loveennobles all." In grateful recognition of bis services the town places this tribute upon its records, and orders a copy sent to the family of the deceased. Chester S. Wright , H. S.Storms, Fred C.

F. €LA»U. L Bock, M«sS* The closing of the republican con- , gressional convention at G. A. R. Hall . the 5th gave many of tLe delegates and spectators their first acquaintance with Candidate W. R. Buchanan . His entry into the hall, escorted by George W. Stetson of Middleboro , leader of the defeate d Harris forces , anou sed a rwild outbur st of enthusi- asm. Attired in a near business suit of mixed goods, Mr. Buchanan smiled pleasantly when he turned, after shaking hands with Chairman Kem and Dr. L. W. Puffer , and greeted the crowd , all standing and cheering. The impression everywhere at Mr. Buchanan's appearance was A No. 1. There wasn't a doubt tha t his atti- tude in that first moment won friends amon g men who had known him not at all or only slightly and who had been battling moments before i n the most desperate contest in the history of tlie 14th district to defeat his can- didacy. Mr. Stetson presented Mr . Bucha- nan to Chairman Kent and Mr. Kent introduce d Mr. Buchanan to the hall full of cheerin g men. "This is Mr. Buchanan, whom you have chos- en as the next congressman from this district," said Chairman Kent , elicitin g a roar of "Dee-lighted" ap- plause . Mr. Buchanan took up his address of acceptance In an easy yet force- ful manner and spoke throughout in a clear voice that could Ibe easily heard in any part of a hall much lar ger than G. A. R." meetin g place , the scene of sj many republican battles and lore feasts. He had a manuscri pt but read by reference rather than on the word by wordplan and his delivery was excellent In every way. After the address ..there were ~re cheers and everybody in the tall apparently seized upon the op- portunity to shale hands ¦with Brock- ton 's first con gressman, as the re- publicans declare he Is sure to be.— Brockton Enterprise.
