Mako . Good Cow.
How to make scrub COW. Here il the
process: Half feed your cow through tho
winter: provide no shelter, and expose
her to storms and the exhausting cold.
When the calf comes be very penurious
about the cows feed. Let her pick her
living on a bare pasture and the refuse
fodder in the barnyard gathered from
the manure heaps 1t does not pay,
you think. to give the wretched beast
few pounds Of meal, and perhaps it will
not at the first for there Is much flesh
to put on the bare bones before any fat
can be put into the milk. Wean the
calf when five days old, and give it only
sour milk and. the rancid buttermilk,
and when it is half dead with diarrhes
give it some alum to dry it up. Turn IL
out into half-barren lot to gather the
weeds and the coarse grass, and wh9n II
has worried through the summer. let IL
run for the winter in the yards and get
the leavings OF all the other stock,
while its back is bumped up with cold
and it bawls for food through the nights
while its owner warns himself under
the blankets. When three years old
under such treatment, it will bring Q
calf more wretched than itself ANA the
bull which was raised lowered might
be moro true) in the same way. Pro-
coed in this way and you get acrub
breed.
How to make good COW. Here is Z
different process: Begin with your
scrub If you will. But feed her vel! and
keep her warm and comfortable. breed
her to some good bull reared by some
Christian farmer; that is one who will
do as he would be done by, even tc his
cattle; for this is the essence of Chris
tianity. as taught by the Great Teac hor.
When the COW is dried of previous to
calving, don't stop feeding, but keep her
in good sleek condition. When tbs calf
comes it will have belly full Of good
rich milk and will start we'll. Continue
the well-doing by feeding sweet
skinned milk warmed to the heat OF
new milk, and as soon as 1t will cat a
little crushed oats give few by hand
and treat the young thing gently and
gain it's confidence and goodwill. Olive
it good pasture, specially provided and
prepared for the young stock. Give il
milk, always sweet, land it will n6yer
need alum to dry up its bowels Until il
is four or five months old. Give It q
stall in the stable in the winter, 9th
the best of the hay, and its regulas ra-
ton of oats Continue until the se,.ond
year, and breed it to bull bettes, II
possible, than its sire. Perhaps you
think this will never pay. Well, culnt
up the cost of it, put the amount OF
| money in your pocket, and 60 around
and try to buy as good an animal v 18th
the sum; and 20 won't got one, for your
neighbors are not selling such young
heifers for the cost of them. You will
find it cheaper to rear them than to buy
, them, anyhow. And you must bave
them, or you will be going around de-
claring that farming don't pay."~-N

Amiallle h'te Rata.

Reading about some queer pets made
me think of lot of white rats that q
boz / know owns, and that afford him
and the family a good deal of amuse.
ment The dog and cats have been taught
not to harm the rats, and often, when
the dog is lying on the floor, the rats
run out Of their cage and crawl over
him. Sometimes they ride around on
his back, and when he doesn't care to
carry them any further, he kicks up his
heels, shakes them off and canters
away. The house cats appear to like
the white creatures, and whenever a
rat gets hurt in any way, the cats lick
it and feel sorry for it. Once tho dog
accidentally made one of the rats squeal
while playing with it, and the cats
pitched on him and drove him out Of
the house.-Detroit Free Press.

Only TO See His Folks.

A curious case was brought to the at
tentioD of the penitentiary authorities
Yesterday.
A negro named Gus Hall escaped
from the convict camp iD Montgomery
Ca, last Friday. His sentence was
fifteen years, dated from April, 1899.
His escape was discovered almost i'm
mediately after he left the camp, and
every effort was used to catch him
without success. The rule in such
cases is that If the escaped is not cap
tured within twentysfour or thirty-six
hours bis arrest after that time is the
merest accident in the world. Eyery>
thing that could be done to find the mes
gro was done In this instance, but so
completely without success that hope of
ever catching him was given up. and
the hunt WAS altogether abandoned.
Monday the negro walked into camp,
dusty and travel worn. The act was
entirely voluntary. He returned all
alone. or course, he was secured at
once, which he seemed to expect.

SO Lives Lost Ia a Collision.

NEW YORK, October 3l.-The
steamship Vizcaya, of the Companie
transatlantic ESpanola, coliided with a
Eour mas;ed schooner last evening while
eight miles of Barne2at. and both ves-
sells snnk almost immediately. II is
supposed that over seventy people have
been lost. The steamer Humbolt.
which arrived in Brooklyn this morning
from Brazil, rescued eight of the crew
the first and second officers, the engin-
eer and surgeon of theVizcaya.
Dr. Rico, the ships doctor. was one
OF the few that were saved. His story
Is to the effect that he was in the cabin
when the shock come, and at once all
was confusion. Women screamed and
men lost their presence of mind. a
rush was made for the deck and the few
VINO reached It at once realized the
terrible danger that confronted them.
The steamer was steadily sinking and
the heavily laden schooner that had run
her down was as rapidly going down.
Iben the men took to the riggings. as.
cending as the vessel settled, until at
last they could go no higher and then
tne bottom of the steamer seemed to
have grounded and hope was raised in
the breast of the twelve men who had
reached the top,
"A night they clung to their perilous
perch, the water 6ashing against their
feet until nearly daybreak, when their
cries of distress were heard by those on
board the HumbOlt and they were
taken off.
The schooner is said to have had a
crew OF twenty>one men, and of that
number bat ten are known to have been
saved, They, with seven of the crew

The Act OF u Crazy Woman.

BUFFALO, Nov. 1.-Oae OF the most
/ terrible murders ever known in the his
| tory OF Erie county was committed at
Akron, twenty-four miles east OF this
| city, last night. a young woman
named Sarah McMullen, aged nineteen.
| formerly living in Buffalo, but lately
residing with Mrs. Patrick Brown, In
Akron, enticed Della Brown, aged six
years, and Nellie May Connors, aged
ten, on to the Akron Cement Works
narrow gauge railroad bridge, at a
height OF sixty-fve feet over Murder
Creek.
All OF a sudden she pushed Della
Brown over the side of the bridge and
then grabbed Nellie May Connors and
hurled her into the precipice below.
Nellie was instantly killed, but FORUM
ately little Della Brown lives to tell
the terrible tale. Her little arms and
legs are broken. and although terribly
bruised it is thought she will recover.
Last night the citizens of Akron
searched for th missing girls and found
them at two O'Clock this morning. For
several hours little Della had laid on
the stones at the side of the creek una
BILE to move. She said to Constable
Burns that Sarah had hard work In
pushing Nellie COnnors over the side of
VIC NCAN hCui
herself
After the act Sarah McMulien went
to Mr.. Browns house and said to Mrs.
Brown "I an going away. Perhaps
you will not see me again, - at the same
time extending her hand. Mrs. Brown
thought she was fooling. when Sarah
again spoke up "Wel!, IL you won't
shake hands with me, all right.'' Her
actions excited the curiosity of the
family.
Sarah started for the bridge over the
mill dam, about ten feet high, and ar
irving at the place stepped IN between
the iron braces and jumped into the
water. which is several feet deep. ST.
mon Brown saw her and ran to the
spot and rescued Sarah from drowning.
The crime is believed TO be q crazy
act. The terrible affair has created the
greatest excitement at Akron, and the
mystery surrounding her object IN COM
mitting the crime makes the case more
complicated. She is in custody, but
will not talk.
