case Of the death of Robert Burns, the
patient in the insane asylum at jefferson.
The attendants, Richardson, Crogan and
Pecha, who are charged with beating him
to death, were present. The dead mans
widow and her brother testified that Burns
was in good health when he was sent to
the asylum. and that the only abrasion on
his body was on one Of his legs which had
been injured. The most damaging testi-
mony was that Of Charles Beck, the re-
porter who successfully played the insan-
ity dodge and was admitted to the asylum,
where he was an eye witness to much of
the brutal treatment whic h reduced Burns
in ten days from strong man to COM
plete physical wreck, resulting in his
death. The story was one Of most revolt
ing and leartless cruelty. The witness
detailed at great length the repeated acts
Of brutality which the three accused atten-.
dants inflicted upon the unfortunate man.
He declared the patient was not unruly
but seemed dazed and incapable Of under
standing what was wanted of him. Beck
said that upon their arrival at the asylum
they were given cold baths, then he and
Burns were left shivering in a cold room
for Is minutes, then after examination by
the doctors, the attendants took charge Of
them. Burns was olaefeu 70 sit On
bench. He seemed not to understand and
did not do so, whereupon he was violently
thrown down upon it. Rising in dazed
and helpless way, Attendant Richardson

schools; but not in way to be OF much
practical benefit and are never illustrat-
ed by living examples, which in many
cases might easily he done. If some
scholar, who had just contracted cold,
was brought before the school, SO that
all could hear the dry, loud cough and
know it's significance see the thin white
coating on the tongue and later, as the
cold developed, see the profuse watery
expectoration and thin watery discharge
from the nose, not one of them would
ever forget what the first symptoms of a
cold were. The scholar should then be
given Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
freely, that all might see that even a
severe cold could be cured in one or two
days, or at least greatly mitigated, when
properly treated as soon as the first
symptoms appear. This remedy is
famous for its cures of coughs, colds and
Group. It is made especially for these
diseases and is the most prompt and
most reliable medicine known for the

chronic diarrhea, and for some time my

leadiny physicians OF the country were

agonies l was enduring. In May, 1888,

Hereford Cattle--A Slated Potato Boz.
Points on the Breed From Men Of
Wide Experience-The Prise Bull Figaro
Described and Illustrated.
The Hereford breed has always been
held In high estimation as grazing ami
NAL by British stockmen, and has fore
most place among the English beef
breeds. The present popularity in Eng
land of the Hereford cattle is due in part,
at least, to the improvements brought
about in this breed by the Royal Agri-
cultural society. This organization Of
late years has, by virtue of prizes offered
and the high sale prices accruing from
these, brought about some magnificent
displays Of Herefords, notably in 1884.
While the Herefords have been known
in this country for the last half century,
1t is only Of late years that they have
been recognized among the foremost Of
beef breeds in the United States and
been bred pure. A great impetus was
given to the Herefords in 1883 by the
winning Of the Sweepstake premium for
the best dressed carcass, at the Chicago
fat stock show. by n Hereford steer. At
the present time prize cattle from the
best English herds are grazing on Ameri-
can pastures.
In fact, 80 we'll known have the Here
fords become to our active breeders and
leading stockmen that we give only a
brief mention Of their general character
istics for the benefit of amateurs. First
come the massive form and great weight
Of beef produced; the comparative ease
with which the cattle are supported, and
the readiness with which they fatten in

Winter Feeding.

A subject upon which great deal OF
advice Is annually given, but one which
can never be worn out, Is that of winter
feeding. It Is now generally conceded
that no one article can be fed the winter
through with entirely satisfactory re-
suits. Fowls must have varied diet, as
no single element can supply all the:
needs Of the system. Provision must be
made for feeding vegetables occasionally
in addition to the allowance Of grain or
meal.-Farmer's Review.
