pleuro-l -lneumonia, and of it's prevalence
lu the United States 1t Was first brought
fo this country from England in 1913 and
has never been entirely stamped out since
That date. There is none of it noW in
Massachusetts, or indeed north Of Conmec-
tcut, where there il verl little, but it eX-
ltndS from Connecticut to North Carolina

the authorities of New \ ork and New
Jersey are making strenuous efforts to ret
nd Of ii. but in Maryland, PENNSYLVANIA
and Virginia no efforts are made to get
hid Of 50 fatal disease. The DANCE" Of
i Gan he appreciated when it is known
tllat the taking OF a car to the West in
which animals having this disease have
been shipped is sufficient to infect any
animals Jhat may come in contact with it.
The wonder is that when 80 many fine
animals have been sold to the West by
New York, Pennsylvania, etc, the disease
has not reached that section This re-
mark should serve as a caution to New
England stock growers to beware of pur-
chasing in localities where the disease has
been discovered.

1871 and, Notwithstanding the efforts
made by the eminent counsel of the fail
prisoner, the court found her guilty, AND
sent her to perpetual Punishment to ST.
IBERIA. There was a heart rendine
scene in court as this terrible sentence
was pronounced. Alida's father fune
himself on the floor in a paroxysm Of

ter turned very pale, but said in firm
voice: "Innocently condemned"

til two years and half afterwards, wher
an event occurred which put an en-
tirely different face upon the sombre af
fair.
On the 10Th Of November, 1873, there
appeared before the chief of police Of
Moscow, a young woman rather flash.
lily dressed, and bearing in her face a
troubled and care-worn expression.
1t was Marie Verin, formerly the
maid of Aida Stanirov, and the princi-
pal witness against her at her trial for
the murder of Count Adolph Nostikof.
She had evidently gone to the bad, and
indeed, had become, since the convic-
ton of her mistress, the inmate Of a
house of iIl-fame in Moscow. She told
the astonishing dignitarv the following
shocking tale!
"Mlle. Aida told the truth. She did
not murder Count Nostikoff: I killed
him myself. After leaving the coach
man in the garden, [ went to Mile
Alida's bOudolr in order to get shawl,
because it was very cold in the garden.
l saw her knife on her writing desk, and
took it with me for protection in case
the cOachman should meet me again ia
the garden: but | did not find anybody
there. At the garden-house Count
NostikO1, who was just going to leave
the place. caught sight of me. He hast
ened toward me, and before [ was able
to resist, dragged me into the garden
house, There he tried at once to do
violence to me. | struggled as best [
could, but no one heard my cries. He
was very strong, my dress was torn, my
strength was about giving way, and
then I drew the knife and struck him
twice with it. He staggered back with
a cry, and fled hurriedly back to the
house. This is the whole truth. My
remorse since Mile. Alida's conviction
has been intense. l have led wretch
ed life ever since. l hope God will for
give me-
After investigating the case again
very carefully, the criminal authorities
came To tho conclusion that Maria Vor
in told the truth. The matter was COM
municated to the emperor, who imme-
diately pardoned Aida Staniroy.

The DOmesticatiOn of the Buffalo,

Col. Ezra Miller, of Mahwah, N. j.,
has been making some expert
ments which have led him to the
conclusion that it will pay to
breed buffaloes, both pure blood and
crossed with our domestic cattle. Re-
lating his experience with these animals
lately, the colonel said II have proved
to my own satisfaction several points.
First, that buffaloes can be tanned.
Second, that it doesn't cost one half as
much to keep a buffalo as to keep an
ordinary COW. Third, they can be fat
tened as quickly as ordinary beeves, and
on half the food, and their meat is just
as good. Fourth, they are as good milk
ers as our Attorneys; and fifth, they
are good butter makers. The milk OF
the buffalo is a little yellower than that
of the Alderney, but very sweet and
rich, and there is more cream than in
the Attorney milk. AS to the quantity
of milk given by buffalo COWS, they will

Wire in Wheat.

The difficulty with regard to the
presence Of bits Of iron wire in whe at
after it reaches the mill. due to the use
Of harvesters binding with wire, seems
to be in q fair way to satisfactory solu-
ton.
At the late meeting Of the Millers'
Association at St. Paul, method of
extracting wire from wheat was tried
with encouraging success. Two gangs
Of common horseshoe magnets were
placed in a spout, through which wheat
was passed after having been mixed
with particles of wire, varying from the
size of a pin head to pieces an inch in
length. In every trial all the pieces
(which had been counted) were found
upon the magnets.
The committee appointed to test the
matter more thoroughly have reported
that magnets had been placed in the
Pillisbury, Washburn, Arctic, and Holly
mills, and used for several days. The
opinion Of the committee was that the
wire was chiefly, if not wholly, removed
by tn magnets, and that by their use
the evil attending wire bands can be
lessened. The resolution of the millers
against wire binding has been substan-
TALLY withdrawn.
The device employed in the tests at
St. Paul and Minneapolis was not pat
ented. A patented invention for the
same work is described as consisting of
a revolving iron cylinder, through which
the wheat IS passed. During each olu-
ton of the cylinder, it is twice, auto
matlcally, connected with and discon-
nected from an electric battery, Inside
this cylinder is aD endless apron run
lengthwise. Each time the Circuit" is
broken, the cylinder is, for moment,
demagnetized, and the particles of iron
it has picked up drop upon the endless
apron and are carried out. There
would appear to be an attra ctive field
here for the exercise of inventive skill.
