Keep the Stables Clean.

WE do not mean that they should be
washed and mopped, like kitchen
floor every day, as it is said. they are in
some of the countries on tile European
continent, but they should be kept rea-
sonably clean and wholesome, for either
man or beast.
Too often, when visiting farmers
barn, one finds the stables at midday
containing all the filth collected during
the last twenty-four hours. When the
care of cattle is of secondary importance
on farm, the stable work is often left to
boys, who don't see the use of being over
particular about keeping the stables or
cattle clean. Few practices are more dis
gusting than that of sitting down and
milking filthy COW in filthy stable We
have seen the milking of large dairy,
where the milk was sent to a city market,
done in such a careless, slovenly manner
that we did not wonder that the milk con-
| tractors frequently returned milk to the
farmer because it was so poor that it
could not be disposed of in the city
| Usually the first thing that ought to be
| done on entering the barn in the morn
ing is to give every animal feeding of
| hay. Then, instead of sitting directly
down to milking, the stable should be
thoroughly cleaned of all accumulations
made since the previous evening; next a
Thin sprinkling of sand, sawdust, short
straw or chaff, should be sprinkled over
the floor. This puts the stable in fit
condition to sit in during milking; but
before beginning this operation every
COW should be cleaned of all loose filth
or dust adhering to her body. This may
be done by the use of broom, card, a
|
all combined. By this time the
first feeding is pretty much all gone, and
our practice is to feed again before milk
ing. If the managers are of convenient
size to hold hay so that the animals can
eat without reaching far forit, it does no
harm to feed while milking. After milk
ing, if it was not done before, the cutters
behind the COWS should be well spread
over with dry earth, or absorbents OF
some kind, in sufficient quantity to absorb
the liquid weddings from the animals
during the day. Before milking again at
night the same operation should be re.
peated. Cows can be kept much cleaner
If made to stand on raised platform,
and this is the common practice now on
nearly all good farms. We have seen the
milk cans set on the floor behind the
cows, much nearer than we would like to
have them if we were buying the milk
The pals or cans of milk should be kept
during milking on raised shelf or table,
in the sweetest and cleanest corner of the
stable, and they should not remain in the
stable longer than is necessary.
1t is an excellent practice to 60 throNgh
all the stalls, to clean off the platforms
and see that every animal is safe and
quiet, the last thing at night before going
to bed, 1t promotes sleep in the house to
feel that everything is all right at the
barn.
Some old.style farmers will not allow &
lantern in the stable We should abou
as soon think of doing without a light ir
the house as without a good lantern fol
the barn.-NeO England Farmer.

Turning the Tables.

Two actors, who bore to each other
the most irveterate hatred, were to per.
form in an opera, the one a knight, and
the other disguised as bear, with whom
the knight was to combat. Everything
went off very well they fought the bear,
as was fitting, was vanquished, and lay
motionless on the ground. But while the
very fine instrumental music was cele-
brating this chivalrous action, and at
tracted for few moments the attention
of the audience, the victorious knight
thought it pity not to embrace this op.
portunity, and therefore struck his fallen
adversary several times with the fiat side
Of his sword. The bear bore 1t very
patiently for some time; but when he
found it going too far he suddenly sprang
up, seized the knight, and treated him SC
roughly that he fell down half dead with

fear. At this instant Il was the turn of
the orchestra to be silent, and the knight
was TO sing bravura in honor of the
conquest Everything was silent, the cir
cumstance had not been noticed in the
orchestra, the prompter gave the signal
but, as the knight was quite unable to
sing, the bear, an equally good singer,
without much ceremony, seated himself
on the fallen knight and with loud voice
sang the air, to the no small entertain
ment of the audience.

PEfest-IEfs Marriage.

NEW YORK, November I4.-Father
Gerdman, late OF st. Boniface church,
publishes a card in the Sun in which he
says: 81 have LETT the Catholic church,
rejecting all its peculiar tenets, ana will,
please God, never return to it. For this
step offer no apology. l have mar
ried my beloved wife, nee Miss Marga-
ret Wittichl of Beading, on the fourth
instant, before a Reformed minister Of
Jersey City, with the full consent of her
parents, in presence of the minister's
amisble lacy and Of brother priest.
The money used in speculations was
my own. The amount / took along
with me did not quite reach three thou
sand dollars. /, for my part, look upon
this sum as a rather small reward for
more than ten years labor; besides, over
three hundred dollars of what l took
were actually perQuisites, etc. One
thousand dollars of it my sister can
have at any time, since for all of
her hard work for a period of over
ten years she has never taken, nor would
take any remuneration in money, and
publicly now repeat what / wrote to
Bishop Wood, that az will send all nv
savings during my life toward paying off
the debt of the church, not as a debt 1
owe 10 justice, but ss penalty due to
folly" Mr.. Ger1man says that he
will inform Bishop Wood of his where
abouts as soon as he finds settled home.
Since his departure from Philadelphia,
he has travelled openly and registered 10
his own name. He first went with the
lady to jersey City, where he was mar

ane groom remained one night at the |
Palmer house, thence to st. Louis, |
where they took a house, intending to |
reside there, but for the newspaper pub !

intended to sail to-day with his wife for |

PHILADELPHIA, PA, November I6.-I

examination at the police court to-day |
and was held in ten thousand dollars |

TRIED FOR wIFE-MURDER.
Investigation of a Horrible WiTe.Mur.
der I'm Monroe, lii, last August
Hueh Excitement fn the
Locality.

ST. LOUIS, November IS.-The Water
loo, Monroe county, Illinois, Times of
to-day has an account of the arrest any
preliminary examination of Barned
M'Mahsn, farmer living three miles
from Burksviile, Monroe county, for the
murder of his wife on the ninth of last
August, and subsequent burning of her
body. 1t appears that M'Mahan and
wife lived unhappily, frequent quarrels
occurring between them and his chill
dren by q former wife. He treated
her very badly. Mrs. M'Mahan
had left home several times I'M
der bad treatment, but always
been persuaded to return by her hus-
band. On August Sth MiMshan sent
his children to visit his friends. On their
return next day they were told their
mother had started for Burksville, since
which time she has not been seen or
heard Of. On the day of the alleged dis.
appearance of the woman, M'Mahan
tired some log-heaps some distance from
the house and kept them burning two
weeks. Ii emitted a terrible stencil,
and when asked the cause Nina
han said he was burning chickens
that had died OF cholera. Suspicion
having recently been aroused that Mrs.
M'Mahan had been foully dealt with,
Samuel Protine, an independent detect
i've Of st. Louis, was employed to work
up the case. Protine and Prosecuting
Attorney Reiss arrived here to-day, and
the Evening Dispatch gives quite a
lengthy account of the affair, derived
from them. After M'Mahon's log-heap
burned down the ground was plOwed
over, but on examination by Detective
Protine few days ago, several hairpins,
buttons, and bones which looked like
finger bones and part Of the upper jaw
bone with teeth attached, were found.
This led to the arrest of M'Mahan, and
the evidence adduced at the prelimina-
~ examination aud the improbable and
statements made by
M'Mahan and his children, led to his
being held in one thousand dollars bond
TO answer the charge of manslaughter.
Great excitement exists in the neigh |
M'MAhan is well advanced |

State Of Maryland gersus Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. The points in this
case have been several times stated.
The State claimed balance Of interest
to be due from the company equal to the
difference between gold and legal-tend-
ers, at dates on which certain payments
were made. The company asserted that
there was no contract for payment in
gold, and IL was so decided below. This
view Is affirmed here, the court saying
hat there Is no just ground for the inn
plication that the company assumed to
pay its dues to the State in gold, or in
any other money than in money gener-
ally, and the fact that the company did
pay the interest in sterling funds in Lon
don down to 1925 cannot change the
construction Of the contract.
