[Mr. Moore has our thanks for this model
statement.
The variation of feed to test its effect on
the production of milk forms valuable part
Of the experiment. We would havo been
glad if its effect on the quantity Of cream
had been noted also.
Mr. Moore is a good farmer. He believes
liberal feeding pays with good cows, and that
is the kind he keeps. We saw in his pasture
a noble thoroughbred short horn COW, which
with her heifers forms fine little herd that
are hard to beat as dairy COWS. He has also
fine yearliug bull of the same blood, al
from the herd of Mr.. IIeman Hopkins, of

ments. A large crowd collected, and when the
ladder was elevated to fun height, without guy
ropes or braces, 1t looked so frau that the Cap
tam apprehended danger and stationed his
men rs 10 hold the crowd in restraint Ia
places OF safety. From the top rung a single
rope ran taut. close under the ladder to the
truck, supporting the ladder, and after the fire.
meu had made their ascent, he saw the ladder
trcmble and sway and the rope sag. lie thought
that an effort WAS being made To lower the lad

ling, ana then the top OF the ladder, with the
three men clinglng 10 IL, bent over and fell TO
the ground. Hughes, Nash, and Maus were
picked up insensioie' aud taken TO the police
station, and there Nash "A few moments later
died. Hughes gave single groan when carried
away. but Maus was stone dead.

disaster should be attributed. The LADDER WAS
made OF white pine or spruce, the material
