The Scholarships.

The school board last evening awarded the
Birney scholarship in Cornell university to Mr.
John H. Drown, who graduated yesterday from
the High school. The Kendall scholarship in
the Columbian College, the King scholarship in
Dickinson College, and the Boston University
scholarship were not awarded last night. This
delay was on account of a question that arose
at the start in considering the award of the
Kendall scholarship. The award of all the
scholarships. except the Birney. are determined
by the standing of the candidates The Birney
scholarship is competed for in a special exam
nation. There were two candidates from the
High school for the Kendall Scholarships.
Spencer Cosby, whose average for the three
years in the High school was $50, and John B.
Hull, whose average was 9I.9-10. Both aver
ages were unusually high. The scholarship
would have been awarded to Mr. Cosby ii it
had not been for n frank communication from
him stating that he desired to go to West Point
in 1856 and would go there if he could secure
cadetship, so that he would the scholar
ship for only one year. He added that he was
only one OF a hundred applicants for cadet
ship without any special influence. The ques
ton arose whether the wishes of the donor of
the scholarship would be carried out by award
ing it where it might not be used for more than
that Mr.. Cosby had fairly won it. The commit
tee concluded to further consider the matter
and therefore deferred until its next meeting
the awarding of the scholarships depending
upon the rank of the students.

THE TRIAL OF Ex-CoNDUcroR O'NEAL.-
This morning. in the Criminal Court, Judge
Macarthur, the trial Of Hugh Neal, formerly
a conductor on the Pennsylvania railroad, on
the charge of embezzling two tickets from Phil
adelphia to Washington, was resumed, and the
defendant offering no testimony the counsel
argued the case to the jury-Mr. Taggart for the
government and Mr.. A. B. Williams tor the de-
PENDANT.
The defendant presenteda number of prayers
and at 1910 the court proceeded to instruct
the jury. explaining the six counts of the in
dictment-the Pennsylvania company being
mentioned as selling the tickets and the de-
w. and B., the B. and P. r. r., and of both If
they come to the conclusion that the B. and p.
T. 4. had an Office here to whom the conduc-
tor should turn over the tickets, and the de-
PENDANT withheld q ticket with the intention of
converting it to his own use they could find
that the embezxlement was in the District. 1t
was necessary for conviction that they find
he fraudulently retained and disposed of the
ticket. They must find that the tickets ex-
hibited were those taken up by the conductor,
the hands OF Louis Janowitz. He also in
structed them on the doctrine of reasonable
doubt The jury retired at lis o'clock. The
Jury returned at OPS with a verdict of not

fhof idoMAS TAYLOR,
of the Agricultural department., thought that
great care should be taken to connect all metal
bolts or guttering directly with the interior
ductor. He spoke of splre in England forty
or fifty years ago having every stone in it
cracked by the lightning jumping from one me-
tallic joint or seam to the next. He pointed to
the roof of his own house, where three spots
newly shingled attested the jumping prOclivi-
ties Of lightning. AT points above and ON either
side of a dormer window the shingles had been
torn of, but none of the intervening shingles
were harmed: The explanation offered was
that the electricity had torn off the shingles at
the top In on effort to reach the guttering be-
meath them, which extended down on either
side of the window. 1t followed this gutter, and
when it passed Off again tore off the shingles.
CAPT. WHITNEY THINKS NO SYSTEM CAN AS
SURE PROTECTION.
Capt. Whitney, manager of the Western Union
Telegraph office in Washington, in talking to a
STAR reporter on the subject of protecting the
Washington monument from injury by light
ming, said he doubted if any sure system of pro-
lection could be devised. He said that the top
of the monument is often above the storm
clouds, and then lightning is just apt TO
strike one Of the corners or sides as the top. In
such an event the conductor within would be
of no value.

SUMMER FODDER.

Insufliciency OF Pasturage - suggestion,
as to the Best Green Food for Milch
Cows.
There are but very few pastures that
will carry a herd Of cows through the
summer and keep up the flow of milk
without feeding them at the barn. I'M
less the farmer makes some provision
to feed his cows at the barn night and
morning the flow of milk will be very
much reduced, and the cows will lose
in flesh; thus they come to the barn in
the autumn light in weight. with tho
flow of milk reduced at least one third
below what it should be. To avoid this
the farmers who are abreast of the
times will be prepared TO feed their
cows as soon as the feed in the pastures
begins to fall off.
What is the best summer fodder, il a
question which farmers do not fully
agree on; formely il was the general
custom to SOW corn for fodder, but ex-
perience has proved TO the satisfaction
of a very large proportion Of the
farmers that this is not thc best material
to feed out in IFS green state; in fact,
some farmers have discarded green
corn fodder altogether, and consider II
an unit food to feed in its green inn
mature state; if they feed it at all in its
green state it is only late in the autumn
when il is fully matured, experience
having satisfied them that when fed in
July in its immature green state it not
only docs not benefit the cows but that
1t is po 'itive injury to their health
Barley is considered by some farmers
TO be one of the best crops to feed to
milch cows when in its green state; il
not only improves the condition Of the
COW, but is excellent TO keep up tho
flow Of milk. much better than green
corn fodder or winter rye; but winter
rye is often used because it grows late
in the autumn aud very early in the
spring, making it one Of the earliest
crops for summer fodder that we have.
Oats are also used 10 some extent "a
follow rye. While oats are good to feed
green they arc still better when wiltcd,
aud. in fact, when fully dried they make
an excellent food for almost any farm
stock.
Hungarian is another crop that is
good TO feed out green, providing the
straw be fine. Most Of the farmers fail
in growing this crop by not sowing seed
enough. The seed is coarse, an be-
comes hard when left 70 grow too long.
Three pecks Of seed is considered
enough to sow on an acre Of land, but
five pecks are none too much, with this
amount the straw will be iine and the
cattle will eat 1t as readily as they will
gtass. -MdssdchuSctts POuQhmtn.
