A Dog rIsnt 2, ,ne ,,nl,. r,au.s.

At one of President Gleyeland's re. captions recently, an elderly gentle. man, said to be Vlrginian and of Fast Family, was among the earliest to arrive. He had with him two we'll bred pointer pups, which be said he had brought 10 present to the Presi- dent, The old man met with some opposition at the door in getting his pups passed in, but finally succeeded. On entering the parlor he seated him self In an easy-ehair with pup on either knee. When the President en- tered the proud Virgiuian took a place in the line with pup in each arm. Just before reaching the President the pups began to quarrel, and in less time than it takes to write 1t gen uine dog fight was in progress, The owner in his excitement dropped the belligereuts to the floor, where they continued their hostilities, not stop pIng until they had rolled over be- tween the Presidents feet. The dogs were qulckly taken out of the room with the owner following, After the reception an effort was made to allow him to make the present, but the doors were barred and the pups were taken back to Virginia.

 There IS now being exhibited at Leipsic m apparatus for putting erini- inals to death by electricity, So long as it is found necessary to retain capi. tai punishment on our statute books it may well be that the electric method is the most merciful and least repul- sive process that could be devised for carrying the sentence into effect, But if such means are ever adopted iu this country the details will certainly not be carried out in the theatrical man. ner which comments itself to the Lelp- SIC amateur. In this apparatus, be- hind the chair in which the condemned man is to take his Seat--and by means of which, as we need not explain in detail, his body is placed in a mrcuit with powerful coil-there stands a conventional figure of Justice with bandaged eyes, holding the balance in her left hand and the sword in her right, The criminal having taken his seat, the proper functionary is sup posed to read over the record of his crimes and the sentence of the law. This ceremony completed, he folds up the document and places Is in the scale pan, the arm Of the balance de- sceuds, closes the circuit, aud all is over

MEETING AT SOUTH
RYEGATE.

Farmers Club met at the school
house at So. Ryegate Thursday even
ing, Feb. %. A bad night and few
out. The topic, authorizations, ETC.,
was not discussed as only one of the
leaders was present and it being one of
Importance it was deemed best to ad-
jOurn its discussion. Methods of feed
ing farm stock was taken up, Rev. E..
j. Ranslow leading. Was brought up
on II farm until IL or IA years old, and
still has great interest in farming and
would like to live on IL farm. Was
obliged to do his farming by hired
help. Good help is hard to get, espec-
tally help in the house. Would add
wise farmers to raise girls as there
would always be II good demand for
them. Keeps Durham stock, some of
it registered, and depends It's much on
stock sales as upon butter. Does not
make butter in the winter, SO feeds
more coarse fodder than some do. To
make gilt-edged butter in the winter
cows must have gilt-edged feed. In
early winter do not feed much meal
Feeds large lot of corn fodder and
some hay. Does not husk any but
sound ears and some not husked at ALL
with waste as his fodder is well cured
in the field and carefully housed.
Thinks high feeding damages cows and
does not feed much meal till cows
come in. Uses barley straw and
thinks it better than poor hay. Last
year sold 5000 worth from his farm.
Geo. N. Park has no trouble with
cows losing teats, etc, and thinks
much trouble with cows can be avert
ed by feeding each separately. Uses
the following mixture: bu. salt, 4 lbs.
sulphur, 10. saltpeter. Gives desert
spoonful every morning to each COW.
A Wylie. First winter he had made
butter. Planted three acres Sanford
corn and one acre of sweet. Cut and
cured in the field and put into shed
with two stories. 1t keeps well and
no waste. Feeds fine hay, oats on the
straw, cut green and fodder corn. Cuts
and vets the feed and puts on some
shorts. Mixes cotton seed meal, mid
dlings and corn meal in equal parts
and gives 2 quarts to Il COW twice a
day. Does not make quite | LID. per
day as he has some heifers.
VIM. Kicker feeds corn and cob meal
and oats mixed quarts twice day
to one COW and gets l5 quarts of milk.
Pringle Gibson has seen people
starve cattle and make money and
some people feed high and make
money. Would feed medium. Have
seen best herd of Jerseys in this cOun-
try if not in the world and their feed
was six quarts to II COW, half corn and
oats ground. Own feed is mixture of
400 lbs. corn meal, 200 lbs. shorts and
200 lbs. middlings and gives each COW
about quarts good measure in two
feeds, fed dry.
Rev. K. j. RanslOw was elected an
honorary member of the club. Next
meeting March 5, with same topic as
for Feb. 25: ''Is this country and its
citizens alike suffering by not main
tanning the genuine products of the
soil" Rev. E. j. Ranslow, Henry
Whitcher to lead.
Martin Gibson made 100 pounds
more butter this year in four months
than in the same time last year, not
10 pounds as reported.

Vermont PrOhibitiOnists.

At the meeting of the state commit
tee of the national prohibition party,
held in Burlington Saturday, Rev.
George l.. Story of st. Adams, w. l..
Pearl of St. Johnsbury and Alvah
George of st. Adams, were chosen a
committee to prepare plan for organ
izatiOn in full detail for the coming
year. A lively discussion on the gen
eral situation from prOhibitOry stand
point was engaged in. The majority,
while not attempting to pledge prOhi-
btionists to distinct party action in all
cases, favored an organization so COM
plete in it's details as to render such a
course practicable if desired. A resO-
luton was introduced to this end, so as
tn enable the prOhibitiOnists of the
state to act distinctively as such, in
state, county and district elections,
and also in town elections if desired.
