Bar Marks Of Butter Cows.

John Shattilck, a noted butter dairy man oil
Chenango County, n. Y, said at the late
convention Of the New York State Dairy
mans Association, that he had found the col.
or on the inside Of the ear to be an infalliblc
guide in the selection OF q good butter Cow.
II the skin oil the inside OF the ear is of rich
yellow color. the COW was sure to give a good
quantity Of milk; that is, milk rich ia butter.
He said In all his experience he had never
known this sign to fail. j. w. North, in the
Main Farmer, gives some further informa-
ton concerning the subject. He observes that
cows producing very high-colorcd butter
have large amount Of the ear secretion, in
many instances tile whole internal surface be
ing covered with thick orangc-colorcd, oily
matter: on the other hand. the ligtt-color-
ed butter makes present :, scanty, thin and
pale yellow secretion, in some cases found
only at the bottom OF the ear. His theory is
that every animal has the power OF secrcting
q certain amount OF this yellow pigment. Ii
the quantity be sufficiently large, secretion
wllltake place freely In the mammary glands,
the ear and skin.

The Best Sheep.

The best sheep for a farmer To keep are
greatest number of pounds OF meat. Tile
scrub sheep will yield from three TO six
pounds of wool rer head. while Merinos will
range hetween ten and twenty pounds, and
Thoroughbred Cotsworitl more. Why is il
that all farmers DO not raise the sheen tina.

meat, the fine sheep produce an enormous
amount Of fiesli. and donot cat any more Than

sheep do not only yield larger i!eeces per
head, but the wool is of superior quality
The same is true of the ileslioi fine sheep. in

mutton in the world, always commanding
an extra price-a flesh which princes desire
while the fleece Is medium. The Shrop-

All this concerning sheep is true OF line

the advantages of an open Crate, placed in any

additional advantage in being adjusted better to

Not True.

Washington. July ia report has
been in circulation that Attorney Gen.
eral Taft intended to resign because,
as alleged, of the removal by the Pres
ident of Dyer, district attorney of st.
Louis, without at first consulting him,
and the appointment of Bliss in his
place. While IL is true that this change
was made by the President himself,
the Attorney General acquiesced in it,
and therefore there is no disagreement
between them that will terminate
their official relations.
The Insult to the Flag.
From official advices received at the
State Department to-day in relation to
the reported insult to the American
flag at San Domingo, it appears that
ex-Minister Villenuva, formerly of
Dominica, a fugitive from justice. took
refuge on board the steamer in the
port of San Domingo. The Dominican
authorities demanded his surrender,
but the captain of tho Tybee refused to
comply with the demand, when they
went aboard and took him off. No
insult was offered to the American
flag, the United States consul, or the
violence offered to international law
or treaty stipulations. S.ssas

RAPHIc
JEWELL RESIGNS
Al the Presidents Request

at the FTeStdent's Request.
Washington, July ia few days
ago Postmaster General Jewell being
asked about the report that he intended
to resign, laughingly replied that, far
from resigning, he expected to remain
in his place until the end of the pres
ent administration.
calling at the executive mansion to
transact some business with the Presi.
dent, the latter, much to the surprise
of the Postmaster General, informed
him that his resignation would be
accepted. Mr.. Jewell Immediately
wrote letter accordingly. The most
intimate friends of Jewell are unable
to account for the action of the Presi-
dent except upon the ground of politi-
cal considerations.
Mr.. Marshall, first assistant postmas-
ter general, who is in the country, was
telegraphed last night to return i'm
mediately, and arrived this morning.
when Jewell. much 30 his astoaish-
ment, informed him of what had taken
place. Marshall is now acting post
master general.
Postmaster General Jewell was be-
fore the House committee on postofiices
and post roads to-day, and testified in
relation to the development of straw
bid frauds and the effort made to sup
press them also as to clerks charged
with completely in the frauds. Being
asked if any member of the cabinet
has asked him or talked with him in
relation to the resignation of certain
clerks asked to resign. he replied that
If any one of the cabinet had asked
him a question about the removal of
certain clerks, he should refuse to tell
the committee, and did refuse to tell
why he removed certain clerks, giving
general reasons that were entirely
satisfactory to himself why they should
be removed. Near the close of Jewell's
examination by the committee, he was
asked:
WAS your resignation forced or
voluntary"
Answer-"Well, the President noti-
fled me that my resignation would be
accepted, and rendered it,
- Are any charges preferred against
your"
mo sir, not that am aware off,
The President has not given any
reason forthe removal, but it is known
that his object was political, and that
the President had favored Senator
Conkling's nomination for the Presi-
dency In preference tn Morton. 1t
was not considered complimentary to
the latter. and 1t is showing his friend
ship for him that an Indiana Senator
should have a seat in the cabinet. The
change is expected to strengthen the
Republican party in Indiana and
Ohio, while nothing was to be gained
in Connecticut by the retention of
Jewell. :
Senator Morton had long inter-
view with the President yesterday and
cabinet meeting, Tyner was closeted
with the President.
