Maine farming has a boom. The state
has spen. this year 1925, 900 in farming
machines ank manures, 500, 900 being
for phosphates, The dairy product is
improving and the farm mortgages are
growing fewer.
The Auburn, Me-, canning works
have done their biggest years business
putting up 100000 tons of pumpkins,
or 10000 cans, 40,O00 cans OF
tomatoes and $1,000 cam of corn, a total
Of 100000 cans.
Those who expect their cows TO keep
up a good flow Of milk in late autumn
and cold winter weather, must see they
are well stopped, fed, and sheltered. As
a milk producing machine, a COW left
standing out in stormy weather and
sparely fed on "roughness' can not be
expected 10 "pan out" A large quantity
cf food is necessary to maintain a fair
degree of animal heat under such cir
cumstances.

The American Journal of Forestry,
started one year ago and devoted to the
interests OF forest tree planting and the
care of woodlands, has suspended for
want OF patronage. The time will come
when these interests will receive suf-
ficient attention to demand such a peri

Cabbages are kept during the winter
in various ways. Where one has a cell
lar with a moist bottom there is at hand
an excellent place for storing cabbaRes.
Pull the cabbages up by the roots
late in the fall and take them right to
this cellar, standing them on their roots,
on moist earth, the heads leaning against
the wall. In this way cabbages that
have not fully formed heads will some
times grow to a good size and the heads
will be more crisp, whittier and sweeter
than by any other method Of preserva-
ton. or course in pulling them earth
will be left adhering to the roots, and
this should be carried in as attached. A
little more loose earth, If convenient,
can be thrown around the earth where
they stand. With a dry cellar bottom
this plan is not practicable. but it will
WORK admirably Wherever n bottom is
moistened-not wet, just moist.

PinK Eye in Cattle.

The disease known as pink-eye, or in
1uenza, in horses sometimes occurs
among cattle, and has very much the
ame symptoms; beginning with a
copiocs weeping from the eyes, the dis
charge being mixed with pus from the
inhamed membranes. The whole Of the
head is affected by a general catarrh, the
COWS suffer generally from the fever and
fall of in milk. In course Of time the
interior membranes of the eye become
clouded with pus and the eye turns
white, when blindness follows. 1t is
doubtless mslarial in Its nature and due
to atmospheric or general causes, n
appears sporadically, OF here and there,
a few in each herd being attacked. II is
not a frequent disease among cows, but
appears chiefly where they are lodged
in b lsement stables, or are psstured on
rich undrained soil, or in the fa.l,
when there are sudden changes OF
weather or temperature. The treatment
should consist Of vigorous purging OF ep-
som salts. tRo pounds given at once;
after that half-ounce doses of chlorate of
potash should be given daily. The eyes
should be bathed in warm water
and cleansed and two Or three
grains "a full pinch of burned alum
should be blown in the eye through q
small Quill daily. 1t will be best to keep
the cow in a stable and protected from
the light, and wrap = large towel around
the head and horns, and keep this vet

A JURY FIxER.
Joseph Little Arrested for Contempt of
Court in an Effort to Extort Money
from Captain Jeter.

Considerable excitement was oceasioned yes
to-day forenoon by the arrest of Joe Little for
contempt OF court. He was charged with at
tempting to influence the jury in the Jeter muir
der trial. and was put under $4,000 bonds, in de-
fault of which he was sent to Jail. His examin-
alton took place in the afternoon, at which, by
his own confession, he was proven to have de-
manded money. The arrest was made at the in
stance of Judge Norton, based upon an affidavit
by Captain Jeter father of the defendant in the
murder trial, in effect that Little had approached
him several times to negotiate scheme for
fixing" the jury. Jeter said that Little wanted
$500, and, when asked how he would use it,
piled that he would Fix" the Jury with
it. He said that he was "solid" with the Irish,
and that he had worked side by side with Prose
eutor Brown, and that he could influence the
latter as well as the jury The Captain indlg-
nantly refused the proposition. The immediate
cause of the arrest was the intrusion OF Little
yesterday morning into Judge Norton's private
room, where he approached the Judge with the
remark that "Jeter had been IN the hands of
bad gang and ought to be let 60" Judge Norton
told him to keep quiet, and asked him If he did
not know better imam TO talk to him in that way
at suth time. He soon after heard of the propo-
sitlon made to Captain Jeter, and at once
dered his arrest.
AT the examination, little admitted that he
had asked letter for 5000, and when asked by
the judge to what use he intended to put the
money, replied that he intended to use it for his
own wants.
"In other words" said the Judge, "you pro-
posed to beat the Captain out of that amount"
1T looks that way" replied Little.
The prisoner did not attempt to conceal the
fact That he had attempted to get money under
false pretenses.
At the conclusion OF his testimony Judge Nor
ton said to Mr.. John b. Elan, his counsel: "Un-
less you can show that this confessed scOundrel
is not guilty of contempt I will fine him TO the
extent of the law, for his conduct has thoroughly
exasperated me-" Mr.. Elan made plea of some
length in his behalf. and the matter was taken
Ia
was remanded to jail his bond. in the meantime,
being reduced TO 81 900.
Last night Titles bond was reduced to 81 900,
and Captain W. G. WATSON becoming surety
thereon, he was released from custody.

FOR HIS LIFE.
The Trial of Jeter Concluded-Th Jury
Still Wrestling with the Case.

Prosecutor Brown, who became i'll while adj
dressing the jury In the Jeter murder trial, We'd
nesday afternoon, was not able to resume his ar
gument yesterday morning, and the closing
speech made by Mr. Spann, after which
Judge Norton delivered his charge to the jury
1t was a very voluminous document, concisely
written, and was generally commented upon as
being just and unbiased The counsel for the de-
Tense were of the opinion, however, that objee-
tions might be entered against the sixteenth
and twenty-third paragraphs, which were as fol-
lowe.
10. Frenzy arising solely from the passion of
anger, no matter how furious, is not unsouLd-
ness of mind. man with ordinary will power,
which rs uDimpaired by disease, is required by
the law to govern and control his passions. If he
yields to wicked passion, and purposely and ma
l1clOEsly Stays another, he cannot escape the pen
atty prescribed By law upon the ground of mem
tai lncapaclty. That state of mind caused by
wicked and ungOvernable passion resulting not
from mental lesion, but solely from evil passion,
constitutes that mental condition which the law
abhors, and to which the term malice is applied.
The condition of mind which usually and imme-
diately follows the excessive use of alcoholic
liquors Is not the unsoundness of mind meant by
our law. Voluntary drunkenness does not even
PALATE an excuse.
70. You are not to take for granted that the
statements contained in the hypothetical Ques-
tions which have been propOunded to the wit
nesses are true Upon the contrary, You are to
scrutlnlZe carefully the evidence, and from that
determine what, if any, of the statements are
true and what, if any, are not true. Should you
lind from the evidence that some of the material
statements therein contained not correct,
and that they are of such character as to entire
~ destroy the reliability of opinions based upon
the hypothesis stated, you may attach no weight
Whatever to the opiniOns based thereon. You

real facts are, and whether they are or are not
correctly stated in the Hypothetical question or
questions. need hardly remind you, for IL will
suggest itself to your minds, that opinion
based upon hypothesis wholly incorrectly as
incorrect a
such an extent as to impair the value Of the
opinion Is OF little or no weight. Upon the
matters stated In these hypothetical questions,
and which are involved in this investigatFuE,
you are to give the defendant the benefit of all
reasonable doubts, il any there should be, and
when there is a reasonable doubt as TO the truth
of any one of the material facts stated, resolve
1t in the defendants favor"
The jury retired at 1890 O'Clock yesterda y
morning and had not returned verdict this
morning at 3 o'clock.

FATHER BEssoNIEs' RETURN.
The Venerable Priest Once More at Home
After Journey Across the Water.

The Very Reverend August Bessonies, Vicar
general of the diocese of Vincennes and
rector of st. Johns Church. arrived home, over
the Bee Line, at HAS O'Clock last night, after
an absence from the United States of little
more than four months. He left this city on the
4th of last November to visit his old home, and
1t was his intention to be absent for several
months. After spending some time at his old
home in France it was his intention to visit the
Holy Land, and as no intimation had
been received of his changing his
plans, the news of his arrival in New York was
received yesterday with some surprise. Not
withstanding the lateness of the hour, very
large number of his friends and church
members had gathered at the depot last
night to welcome him on his return.
Although the reception was of an
informal nature, it lacked nothing in cordially,
and the good old priest was received with
hearty warmth of manner shat evinced the
great devotion of his people to him. In brief
conversation with journal representative, he
stated that he was Just preparing to
start to the Holy Land, after spending nearly
three months among friends and relatives at
his old home in the south of France, but that his
return to this country had been fastened by the
news that Bishop Chatard was seriously ill. He
Immediately departed for America, and, after ten
days spent in crossing the ocean, arrived
at New York Wednesday morning, when he tele-
graphed Father O'Donaghue. notifying him of
his return. His visit to his old home, he stated
had been happy one, and he would have re-
manned much longer had he not felt that duty
demanded his return. his first question to the
reporter was relative to the Bishops health, and
he evlnced much anxiety to know that his
illness was not of an alarming nature. Father
Bessonies is looking greatly improved IN health.
and his trip has evidently been highly beneficial
to him. Among the presents sent him by those
of his people who had been appraised during the
afternoon of his expected arrival was a very
large and handsome bouquet from "The girls of
the Grand Hotel"

Prevailing Opinion that Each of the Cen

The three gentlemen named for police COM

ties of the position. Mr.. Frenzel has said that

have both been strongly urged by very large
number of citizens to take the positions. Mr..
Malott stated to a Journal reporter, last
evening, that under the circumstances his
position had become a very delicate one. The
work required by the position was something
in which he had little interesr, and was not of
agreeable nature II left to his own inclinalions,
he said that he would decline the appointment
Mr.. Murphy, when asked about the IN after, said
that he had not yet reached any decisive con-
clusion. The three gentlemen will hold con-
sultstiOn this morning, after which they will
give formal answers TO the State officers. a l.
though hesitatlng to accept the position, for
the reason that it will be sacrifice for him to
do the differences to be drawn from Mr..
Murphy's conversation are that he will yield to
the pressure which has been brought to bear
upon him and accept In fact, the acceptance of
all three gentlemen Ia no longer in doubt by
those who know them most intimately.
