MANY dairymen complain that their
cows are hard mixers, and ask for a
remedy. A COW generally milks easier
as she grows older. Some recommend a
wire sharpened or knitting needle for
probing the teat; but nothing of the kind
should be allowed, since such treatment
might tend to close the orifice or even to
produce inflammation, which would be
serious. Again, a leaky teat might be
the result. In the care Of good COW
the dairyman can afford to spend a few
moments more in milking; if poor one,
getting rid OF her is advised.

4 PROPOSITION is before the Massachusetts,
legislature to make the fiscal year begin on the
first day Of July instead Of the first day of
January. The benefits predicted are that by
such course the annual reports OF the depart

ture in time for them to inform themselves
thoroughly before going into session at the be-
ginning Of the calendar year, which would re-
sult II more intelligent legislation: besides
which officials would know at the start Just what

The Killing of Henry Nash---His Dying
 Statement to Dr. Lewis.
 HARTFORD, Jan. 7.-The trial of E. Piere- pont for the murder of Henry Nash was con tinued Tuesday afternoon, Dr. George F. Lewis being the witness. Just before the noon recess the judges had decided to admit as evidence the dying statement of Nash made to Dr. Lewis, who made memorandum of the conversation at the time. The story as related by the doctor to the court was as fol- lows
 Nash said-I stopped at Mrs. Potter's about Il o'clock at night and knocked at the door. She came to the door and talked with her. The old man came up. Mrs. Potter did not call him. The old man said you are talking and noisy and I want you to clear out. said what do you want me to clear out for. He replied, ssNo matter, I want you to clear out. He said, ''Damn you, if you don't I'll shoot you. "I says, not really thinking he would, shoot and be damned. He then pulled out pistol and shot me. then went into the corn and buckwheat lot the shoot ing was last Augustl; lay down or fell down, tried to get up but could not and fell down. Finally got into the woods and after while crawled out on the other side in front of Mrs. Potters, and after while she heard me grooming and called me to come into the shanty, but was too weak to walk. Then she took hold of me with the girl and with their help got into their house.
 They wanted me to sit in 8 chair, but could not and had to lay on the floor. Took an old pan for a pillow. The old Dutchman came up and took hold of me and told me to get out of there. I said I could not. He took hold of me and pulled me around. I gave the old Dutchman my watch as security for damage done his corn, and $1 for bringing me home.
 Dr. Lewis continued: That is the state ment took from him as near as I can re- member. I asked him how this came about, and he went on with his statement and wrote it down. asked one or two questions. He said that Mrs. Potter did not call him.
 After hearing other evidence the defense opened, and evidence for the defense was in progress to-day.

A Daring BurglarY--POstoffic Rob
 bers Working in Carriers Uniforms.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Station F, of the post
 office, was broken into sometime last night,
 the safe blown up and money amounting to
 nearly $4, 900 stolen. The crime is one of the
 most audacious on record, in the light of the
 surrounding circumstances and the danger of
 detection braved by the burglars The sta
 ton was moved on December 16 last year from
 it's old position to the ground floor of No. 401
 Third avenue. Against the north wall, along
 which the view was unobstructed, stood a large and very heavy TerwilGger safe containing the funds and records of the station. It was ptlr- posely so placed that it might be easily seen from the street. At night three gaslights were kept constantly burning A few days after the removal of the station to it's new home gas explosion destroyed the room in part and threw everything into confusion. The clerks were compelled to work at all hours of the night to bring order out of chaos, and the sight of carriers moving about at times when the office should be shut up grew to be familiar to policemen passing at night This fact was apparently noted and used to good advantage by professional robbers At $40 B. m. Clerk McManus opened the front door. A peculiar smell as of burned powder pervaded the room. Three gas-jets were burning brightly, and the outer public office was in it's usual order, but inside, behind the screening partition, all was in confusion. The large safe lay on it's side, the door blown from its hinges and shattered, and the inside money drawer broken in. The floor was filtered with cash books, blank money orders and powder, and upon the papers and woodwork as well as the tin boxes that had contained the cash and stamps were marks of bloody fingers. Stains of blood led to the road side window, where three iron bars had been cut and wrenched off. Outside in the yard lay a carrier uniform and cap, thrown there by the thieves. Making their way in from the rear, one had donned this uniform, taking it from it's place on the rack, and, thus dis guised, had moved the safe from it's ex- posed position, wheeling it behind the par tition and the stove, and there at leisure the thieves finished the work. A hole had been bored in each of the lower corners through the safe, the powder had been blown in, and at the first charge the inside lining of the heavy iron door was split of and the lock broken. The burglars had worked deliberately, and carefully sorted out their plunder, leaving behind all that might if taken away have left 8 clew. Their total booty is about $4 900, including $1, 800 cash, $1, 400 in money orders and the balance in stamps.
