REYNOLDS POSTMISTRESS.
AdJudged Insane in the County
Court.
sad COndi ion of Popular and Prom
inent Young Lady-Her MaIady
and the cause.

Inquiry was today made in the county
court into the mental condition of Mis-
Jennie kuhns, postmistress at Reynolds,
before Jury composed of DR.. 8 C Plum.
mer. 81. c. Harris, Charles Fiebig, F. II
Sell, E. 81. Wright and F. C. Hemenway.
The evidence adduced showed that the
patients insanity is of about 10 days dur.
alton and is hereditary. though the aber.
ration in her case was due to over-work.
Her mother was twice adjourned insane,
and treated at Jacksonville, the last time
20 years ago. since when she has been of
sound mind, though an invalid physi-
cslly. The young woman's insanity was
superinduced by over mental exertion and
the care of her sick mother. 1t is of
delusionary form.
The jury found her insane and she will
probably be taken to Jacksonville for
treatment.
The case is particularly touching in it's
nature, as Miss Kuhns is village post
mistress at Reynolds, and Iwell>known to
all In the vicinity, where the .profouudest
sympathy is felt for the unfortunate
lady. She is 80 years of age and was
always of bright and cheerful DISPOSE
ton. She had made some efforts of a
literary character, aud to her study in
this. together with the causes heretofore
mentioned. is attributed the failure of
her mental faculties. She appears in con-
slant fear of something terrible going to
happen, in consequence of which she is
con tinCally in a state Of nervous excite-
ment.
Her condition has been kept quiet up
to this time in hopes that remedy might
be applied with favorable results without
the necessity of sending her TO an ssY-
lum. DR.. Cozad. the attending physi-
clan, finally concluded. however. that the
iDquisition would be the best course to
pursue.
The young lady has been postmistress
at Reynolds since July /, 1SS9-nearly
two years.

THE DAIRY.
More Cows ON Less Acres.

AS land rises in price in the more
thickly settled portions of the country,
dairymen have TO adopt new methods in
keeping cows, or else move on to cheaper
land. Most OF them do not pasture their
cows as formerly but feed them in sum-
mer as well as In winter. BY soiling cat
tie, three times as many may be kept on
the same number OF acres as to let them
pasture over it. Rye Is good for an early
soiling crop. then clover, oats, corn,
prickey coInfrey and other crops may be
used in their season. In early spring,
cows may be turned out for awhile while
the grass Is fresh, but they should be
brought up and have additional feed
when it gets tough and scarce. Also i'm
the fall, when the rains have started the
grass they may be pastured again for
awhile. Cows should not be allowed to
shrink any I'm their milk before begin
ming to soil them, but the flow should be
kept up 10 the fullest amount as long as
possible. The silo comes in here as a
great factor, for many crops can be en-
silaged and fed at any time Of the year.

Appl.s for Mich Cows.

1t is remembered when it was common
tn danonnes thu feeding of oats to milch
cows lest Ii would dry up the milk.
Chemistry has settled this doubt, added
To common sense. There is much excel
lent nutriment I'm apples. But alone,
apples are not n perfect food. There
fore, apples should be fed with meals,
hay, and grain. Apples will produce a
plentiful supply of thin milk. but being
deficient in fat require albuminoids and
fats or starch % make rich milk and
much butter. Apples cooked and raw,
are an excellent adjunct to cattle foods
and folders. There is nothing so greedily
sought for as apples by milch cows. AS
In the human subject so In animals,
whatever is grateful to the taste is gem
orally healthful and desirable food.
Persons, especially young ones. thrive on
apples, pears, peaches, grapes, and other
fruits. Fruit Is both grateful and health
ful. Cooked apples with wheat-bran
slop is a special stimulant 10 the flow OK
milk. To this add handful OF fiaxseed
meal and one of pea-meal, and good rich
milk and fine favored butter will be sure
to be produced. Cows unaccustomed TO
apples IL fed too freely, especially II the
apples are very sour, might have colo.
Cooked corn meal, ground oats and ap-
Piles make a most admirable ration for
milk and butter and health. Too few
roots and too few apples are fed to cows.

Egg Tests.

A good egg will sink In water.
Stale eggs are CLASSY and smooth OF
shell.
A fresh egg has lime-like surface to
its shell.
The boiled eggs which adhere to the
shell are fresh laid.
After an egg has laid day or more
the shell comes off easily when boiled.
Thin shells are caused by lack Of
gravel etc, among the hens LAYING eggs.
Eggs which have been packed in lime
look stained, and show the action of the
lime on the surface.
II All egg is clean and golden in APP
pearance when held to the light it is
good; If dark or spotted, il is bad.
The badness of an egg can sometimes
be told by shaking near the holders ear,
but the test is dangerous one.
Many devices have been tested to keep
eggs fresh, but the less time an egg is
kept, the better tor the egg and the one
that eats il.

THE PouLrRY-vARD.
Do Egga Pay nc Low PrIcesg

When eggs are as low as ten cents a
dozen, do they pay? This is a question
that often comes up for discussion. In
olden times. before the railroads had
reached all points. our ancestors were
content with six cents per dozen for
eggs Whether eggs pay or not depends
on how much they cost. We do not be-
lieve that farmer should feed his hens
at all In the summer season, IL they have
a range. Allow flock TO have access
to the stubble of the wheat field, or
where grass is plentiful, and they will
secure all the food required and more
than they need, and of a variety. When
insects, grass and waste grain can be
converted into eggs by the hens, there Is
simply saving of that which might
other wise be wasted. We are partial TO
the active and industrious hen. She
will cost her owner nothing In summer,
and the eggs can be, sold low and yet
give profit. The hen needs no feed for
live months In the year, and fifty pounds
OF grain will carry her over the cold
season. at which time eggs are high. In
warm climates one half the grain only is
needed. The true way to keep fowls is
to allow them to forage in an orchard
Poultry and fruit make an excellent
combination.-[F Farm and Fireside.

Know when the SOW is to farrow.
KEEP large and small hogs separate.
THE foundation for pig growth should

pig Is the cheapest
A BOAR or SOW fed on corn will hardly
prove good breeder.
Do NOT complain OF cheap prices when
you raise cheap hogs.
A eooD ham, short nose and legs is a
good type for brood SOW
THE best way OF feeding small pigs is
TO give small quantity frequently.
FAILING TO clean out properly often
makes the hog have a source Of disease.
WHEN hogs cost more than they will
sell for, there Is no good in raising them.

never from an animal out OF show

The quality of the soil is an element
70 be considered more or less with all do
nestle animals, Thus, for instance,
black hogs are thought to be better
adapted to low, rich, alluvial lands or
prairies, while white hogs are better
suited for light upland soils. The thin
soil of the Western Reserve, says the
Sheep Breeder do for the manufacture
of cheese, but for butter. the deep, strong
prairies about Eigin, ILL.,, are preferred.
On the other hand, this butter soil makes
coarse, inferior wool, while the more
sterile lands of Northern Ohio, where it
is 80 often only two or three inches down
to hard-pan, yield superior fleece. But
the purest staple of all is grown on the
well-drained hillsides OF the Appalachian
range, where the water is pure and the
grass is sweet and tender So also these
hill and mountain ranges are best for
small breeds Of sheep, such as the Merino
and the Southdown or the Welsh
