INDETERMINATE SENTENCES,

was passed enti led AN act to provide 1or inde-
terminate sentences, and dispos tion, manage

approve the bill because 1t contain d pro-
vision under which the managers Of the prisons
might double the maximum penalty imposed
by the law for the offense committed 1 did

In earlier times this breed was known
as the Suffolk poiled, and they were then
small. Their characteristic was, how
ever, that which distinguishes the best
red polls Of today; for they were mixers
of great staying power, giving milk rich
in butter fats, with a goodly proportion
of caseine, rather than cattle which pro
duced heavy flow of milk Of medium
quality and then dried quickly.
The efforts Of the earliest breeders
were directed to the improvement OF the
fattening quality Of the Suffolk, with
the retention of the breeds valuable milk
and butter producing characteristics,
To the Royal Agricultural Society OF
England belongs the credit Of determine
ing what should henceforth be deemed
the true representation OF the East An
glian pOlled cattle. 1t was not unit
1868 that any very definite regulation;
regarding color, as one Of the qualitica
tions of this breed, were laid down.
Since about 1910 the red polled have
been developed into much heavier stock
without any addition TO the useless lum
Der of the carcass. The fifty stone OF
old days have been increased to eighty
and even ninety stone for steers. The
live weight of bulls has occasionally con
siderably exceeded ton.

A nlsnber Of literary people in Brook
lyn INDUCED from time to time in anna
teur theatricals. They produced COM
edy. One Of the actors played the part
of a burglar, and had to climb up the
outside Of the house in which the enter
tainment was given and enter through a
window r-'ich was at the rear OF the
inprovised stage. He hurried around
from the dressing rooms and valiantly
commenced to struggle up the wall, when
a policeman grasped him by the neck,
thinking him a veritable burglar. He
started to explain, but the minion OF the
law would have none of it. The audi
ence was wondering in the meantime
why the play did not proceed, and the
young actors and actresses on the stage
were eagerly waiting for the burglar to
enter and give them their cue, when
they heard shrieks, yells, oaths and
threats from the garden. Rushing out,
they found the amateur burg Jar thsash-
ing wildly around the grass, while a
brawny policeman sat ON his shoulders
hammering his neck into the mud.-San
Francisco Argonaut.

nrrr1rR curRNEp JUsr ENOUGH.

The first illustration, showing a sample
OF butter with particles like shot, repre-
sents the condition in which butter prop
erlv churned should be.
The object of having the butter in this
condition is that 1t may be in such a
shape that the buttermilk may be
washed out instead OF having to be
worked out, as would have to be done
when the butter is churned into large
Jumps. Cream that is properly ripened
and churned at about 60 degrees can be
Brought to the proper granular condition
with little care in watching the churn.
Then by washing the buttermilk all out
and working just enough 10 thoroughly
distribute the salt, the butter should be
in the best possible condition for imme'
diate use or for keeping.
In the second cut is represented an
overchurned sample, such as is com
monty found among the majority OF
farmers. This is in large Jumps, which
are Objectionable for the reasons already
suggested.
Severa! Wisconsin dairymen who have
won prizes for their butter tell how they
manage. One says: Il churn the cream
in n revolving churn until the butter
comes into n granular form. Then put
brine in ard revolve the churn a few
times, and then the butter will be like
small shot. Then draw off the butter
milk and put in water and revolve the
churn. and then draw of the water and
repeat till the water is clear. Then the
butter is fit to be sailed. shake the salt
over the butter in the churn and revolve
once and salt again. The butter Is like
shot all this time. Then ] revolve the
churn over and over till the butter is in
one big ball ready for packing.
Another butter winner says: use the
barrel churn, and churn at 62 dogs.
When the butter is about the size OF
mustard seed | stop and make two Of
three quarts of weak brine and put that
i'm. and then revolve the churn a few
times and let it stand three or four min.
utes and then draw off the buttermilk
then get two pals of water and put in
a handful of salt and temper it to 5C
degs., and put it in the churn and revolve
a few times. | next let it stand for q
few minutes, then draw off the water

Theiv Chemical Composition - How ="
Feed Them to Cows, Pigs and Sheep

That, Chemical Composition - How 70
Feed Them to Cows, Pigs and Sheep
The feeding value Of yellow field pump
kins for mich cows, hogs and sheep Is
based upon the amount Of dry matter IN
100 pounds, as well as on the chemicai
composition OF that matter. The whoie
pumpkin has about so per cent. water
and If dry matter; 0.6 OF 1 per cent. OF
this Is albuminoids, 9S carbohydrates
OF fat and ash. The value OF TINS
when figured in the ordinary way Is
about 10 cents per 100 pounds' Du' as
the pumpkin contains a little pectlc
ocid. which becomes q digester OF other
food and gives il an additional value, IL
NAV be said that good ripe pumpkins
are worth 10 to 10 cents per 100 pounds
TO feed in moderate quantity with other
food in the milk ration or for fattening.
A smalIquantity Of pumpkins gives a
relish and improves the flavor OF the
milk. But with reference to the effect
of the seeds. care must DO taken II the
seeds are fed to cows that they are
mixed evenly with the rest Of the pump
kin The seeds are given in some cases
as n diuretic medicine. Their action is
ant to be on the kidneys, and dairymen
often saw that their cows shrink in their
milk when freely fed with pumpkins.
And il the seeds get separated so the
cows eat more than the natural proper
ton of Seeds this effect upon the Kid
news would naturally affect the secre-
ton of milk.
The Chinese eat pumpkin seeds be-
tween the courses of dinner, and these
are probably taken as an appetizer and
digester. These seeds are rich in nj
trogen and oil and very nutritious.
Some feeders have been very successful
in fattening pigs with a small allowance
of pumpkin seeds in connection with
other food. These seeds used as a part
of the food for poultry would fatten
them rapidly. 1t should not constitute
more than one-fifth TO one-fourth OF the
food given TO poultry. The dry matter
in pumpkin seeds and the stringy parts
amount to about % per cent, or more
than double that Of the whole pumpkin.
The nutritive value Of the seeds, per
weight, is four times az much as that
of the body of the pumpkin without the
seeds. In connection with the forego-
ing, Country Gentleman says: II pump
kins were sliced up or pulped. so that
the seeds would be all mixed in evenly,
there would ber no danger in feeding
them TO COWS, other cattle or hogs, and
it would be very desirable addition
when combined with other foods.

Told ky the Hands.

A rather unusual case Of a policeman's
sagacity is told by gentleman Of CEN
trail Missouri. Some years ago Col Will
lam F. Switzier, of Columbia, in COM
pany with an old gentleman Of Howard
county and a St. Louis physician, were
in this city together witnessing SOME ex-
hibition. During the performance lady
spectator exclaimed: I'm robbed| To
prevent the thief from dropping the
purse into another's pocket. Col. Switz-
Ter exclaimed: "Hold your pockets" a
policeman standing near by immediate
ly and energetically ordered all the men
in the immediate locality to stand in a
line. Walking around the line twice,
he began at the gentleman from Howard
and said: you are carpenter" to the
next, "You are a literary man. coming
10 the next he said: "You are the thief"
and, searching him, found the pocket
book. Asked by one of the gentlemen
how he could designate a mans calling,
the officer said; 1.-THE doctor there has
caustic on his fingers; tho carpenter has
cuts ON his hands; the literary man has
ink on his fingers; the thief has hands
which show no evidence of good work

Value Of CotswoId and Merino Breeds.

There is more or less discussion among
sheep raisers as to the relative value OF
Cotswold and Merino breeds. While
there is a great difference Of opinion n;
to tAeir merits, a Utah authority in
sheep husbandry claims that there ART
none who will dispute the fact that be
tween these two breeds will be fought
the battle that will decide which is the
best sheep for our mountain and desert
ranges. Without doubt the CotswolC
eve is the best mother and the lambs are
more hardy than those of the Merino
On the other hand, the genuine French
Merino yields much the larger clip, and
at the same time gives a larger carcas;
for the shambles. We believe, says the
authority referred TO, that the coming
sheep for the western country will be q
cross between these two breeds, having
the best qualities of the two judiciously
blended This will take time, of course
but, if all sheep raisers would strive tc
that end, ii would mean a greater amount
of wool, better grade of wool, and
higher price for it than we get now.

A great deal has been said and written
by dairy workers about the proper time
