Sweet or SOur Cream

G. W. Curtis, of the Texas experiment.
al station, made the following experiment:
In trials, sweet cream thoroughly mixed,
was divided into two equal parts, and one
half churned Immediately, while the other
was allowed to become slightly acid before
churning. In each trial nearly like
amounts Of butter were obtained from the
two portions. The results show scarcely a
noticeable difference between the two
kinds of butter, the difference, if any, be-
ing in favor of the sweet cream butter, and
chiefly in the flavor.

Feed Hogs PlentifulIy.

There is no use trying to economic in
the feed Of hogs in winter. The man who
only cares to get them through alive wastes
all he feeds, and has only stunted pigs in
stead of thrifty ones to put up in the fall
Breeding animals of any kind should not
be fed heavily, especially on corn,
but even breeding sows should be kept
thrifty, and if they are young they will
probably grow in weight enough to pay
for their keep, besides their filters Of pigs
in the spring.

occasions Lucas brought Wanamaker
stock of the bank to Use a. collateral in Sc
curing money for these purchases. as Lu-
cas- claimed II was not convenient for him
TO furnish cash at the time.
Lucas Violates His Promise
As result. when Lucas died Mr.. Wanna
maker had 2.5l5 shares of bank stock,
After Lucas death he found the bank

Marsh and Mrs Lucas appeared and tried
10 induce the witness 10 surrender TO them
the bank stock, which he refused TO do
unless they should make good his loss in
the Reading railroad deal. which had
turned out badly.
The stock an Over-Issne.
Marsh next told him he believed the
stock was an over-issue. That was in De-
rember last but Mr.. Wanamaker refused
20 believe this. He said he looked unon
Ibis statement as an extreme effort to get
possession Of the stock 1t was not until
after the bank was closed that he srIrren-
dered the stock. because then il was value-
less. Being collateral holder under the
law, he could not be assessed upon the
stock, hence any supposition that he
parted with the stock to avoid an assess
ment was without any foundation in fact.
Can Look at His Books.
Mr. Wanamaker also stated that he
lever obtained a political contribution or
donation of any kind from the bank or its
officers. Mr.. Wanamaker, before leaving
the stand, promised to supply the commit
tee with all his books and papers.

opinion in clubs and Hobbies is that. what
ever the outcome of the trial, the Wilson's
will never again shine in high society.
The Prince of Wales is evidently deter
mined to save them if he can, and he has
caused young Wilson TO be elected to the
Marlborough, which is known as the
princes private club. This, however.
does not mean an open sesame for the
young man to club society in London for

NOT IN IT.
The Latest Returns iron. the Territory Show a Chilly
 Republican Minority.

The claims made by the partizan republican press of the territory that they would have majority of the delegates to the convention, seemed from the earlier returns to be substan. tiated by the facts, but the interior voting precincts have been heard from, which turns the tables most decidedly the other way. An illustration is given from Graham county which turned in a solid vote according to first returns for the republican nom- inees now, however, the Solomonville Bulletin publishes the fall returns, which gives Patterson and Crawford, democrats, 150 majority. In Apache county where it was supposed that a ticket composed of one republican and one democrat was being voted for by democrats turns out to have been canard and two democrats are elected. Here is the result as near as can be determined:
 Maricopa county-H. N. Alexander, M. H. Williams, J. c. Jordan, all democrats.
 Pima-W. H. Barnes, F. H. Here democrats; w. A. Hartt, republican.
 Cochise-M. A. Smith, democrat; Geo. w. Cheyney, republican; one doubtful.
 Yavapai-F. A. Tritle, F. M. Mur- phy, w. s. Head, republicans.
 Mohave, E. s, Dennis, democrat.
 Coconino, democrat.
 Apache-W. H. Wallace, A. Nc Donald, democrats.
 Yuma, Thomas Gates, democrat.
 Gila, Alonzo Bailey, democrat.
 Graham-A. M. Patterson, B. F. Crawford, democrats.
 Pinal-Thomas Davis, republican; J. w, Anderson, democrat.
 Total 22; democrats 15, republi. cans 6, in doubt l.
 The Yavapai delegation is given as republican. This is;;taken for granted, bet there is strong feeling that one and possibly two democrats may be elected from there, as Prescott for the first time in it's history hes gone dem- ocratic by 50 majority.
