entered. Their clothing was much
alike--a suit of dark diagonal, white
shirts, collar and black tie.
The executions went off quietly. All
OF the men were killed on the first con-
tact. There was no struggle when
they were strapped down, or resistance
OF any kind,
The entire time consumed in execut-
ing the four men was an hour 2311s5
minutes. Slocum executed at 4:42 a. M,
Smiler at 5:13, Wood at 5:3s and Jugigo
at Cos.
Rev. Mr.. Lowe, of New York, who
assisted Chaplain Edgerton in his min
lsteriations to Smiler, said shortly
after leaving the prison that all four
men died instantly and painlessly, and
'siht the electrodes were in every way a
success.
At 7:45 the witnesses were still in the
warden's house, all reading the morn
ing newspapers and waiting for break
fast No one came out, and no one
was admitted to see them. Warden
Browns son drove down to the station
during the morning and brought back
number of packages containing ma
terial to be used during the autopsy.
1t is expected that the autopsies will
be concluded by $50 or 2. $50 s
While DR.. Mcdonald was after his in
struments the other witnesses were
taken in to breakfast with the warden.
They completed breakfast shortly be-
fore o'clock, and most of them came
out in front of the warden's Office, and
sat about smoking cigars and chatting.
They resisted all opportunities of the
newspaper reporters to come out and be
interviewed, and the armed guards kept
the newspaper men at good distance.
Two of the witnesses to the execu-
ton, who refused to give their names,
were interviewed by the United Press
correspondent before the autopsy.
They said that all the electrocutions
were completely successful and without
a flaw. None of the men struggled or
resisted when placed in the chair In
stead of doing SO they assisted the
deputy warden in arranging the
straps, as Kemmler did at Au-
burn. The Jap, Jugigo, who, it was
thought, would be hard to handle, was
perfectly docile. All of the men were
killed on the first contact. The positive
electrode was applied. as in the Kemm-
Ter case. to the top of the head and the
negative to the leg. Most of the wit
nesses will remain to the autopsy. The
story that the Jap resisted an attempt
to cut his beard yesterday is disproved
by the fact that his beard was trimmed
lsoyrr. a week ago in anticipation of the
execution.
Ex-Warden Brush, under whose adj
ministration the apparatus was erected,
drove through the grounds on his way
to the depot. Asked concerning the
appliances, he said:- Everything was
in perfect order when l left it. and |
have no doubt but that the apparatus
was used just as | planned it, be-
cause we had it in the best of
working order. The applications were
made to the head and calves of the
legs, so that absolute connection with
the spinal cord was obtained. We
killed horse with it, and / think that
it was possible to successfully kill a
man every two minutes in this way. 1t
took about a year to fix the buildings
and construct the apparatus. Every
thing was done in the most thorough
manner, and / do not think the present
warden had to change a single thing"

Experience with Silos.

Seven years experience with silos at
the Michigan Agricultural Station leads
to the following conclusions, says the
Indiana Farmer: The silo should be
built of lumber, and located as near the
feeding place as possible, and on the
same level. A silo twenty-five feet
deep, ten feet wide and fourteen feet
long will be sufficient for six months
feeding of ten cows weighing 1000
pounds each, which will consume 600
pounds of ensilage daily. For the silo
the corn should not be harvested until
well matured. A great deal Of the
feeding value has been lost in the past
by cutting while too green and sue
culent Silage corn should never be
fed alone to obtain the best results, nor
in too large proportion when combined
with other fodder. Silage and clover
hay bined make a most excellent
mixture for coarse fodder. These with
bran, shorts, corn meal, etc, in proper
proportions, make the most economical
food for young cattle and for making
milk and beef

POULTRY HINTS.

II the hen house gets filled with lice
the fowls will leave it and roost in cribs
and sheds; a thorough cleaning out will
be necessary.
If you find you have more hens than
you can manage well, sell them for the
next two months. Good fat hens will
sell readily at good prices.
FEED according to the very best meth
DDS, for corn is too scarce to waste an
ear of it. If you are not settled upon
the best method ask advice.
EARLY chickens are by far the most
profitable, but in many cases it is not a
good plan to hatch turkeys, geese or
ducks too early in the spring.
If the fowls are healthy to begin
with, and they are well fed and cared
for, no artificial preparations are neces-
sary to maintain good health.
If the fowls are confined good plan
of feeding them is to give soft feed in
the morning, some kind of green food
at noon and whole grain at night

THE BROOD MARE.
Ea Very Careful and Palnstaking kn -.
lcctlng the Animal.

E3 Very Careful and Painstaf1ing IN ..
lcotlnS the Animal.
More care is needed in the selection
of the animals used in breeding in the
case of horses than with any other
stock on the farm. Hogs, cattle or
sheep may be defective in some of the
qualities that go to make up the nearly
perfect animal, yet if well fed during
growth and properly fatted for market
they can be sold readily at good prices
and return good profit to the feeder.
But in horse any defect will decrease
his market value. There are so many
qualities that go to make up de-
sirable horse, and the absence OF any
one of them will often so depreciate
him that the breeder must use especial
pains to secure the best possible re-
suits. If the farmer is breeding horses
for his own use he can breed what he
pleases, but if he is breeding to sell he
must breed what the market demands
if he expects to realize the best prices
Haphazard breeding is largely respon-
sible for so many horses being raised
that are difficult to sell in market for
the reason that they are not what the
market demands. A really good horse
is always salable, so much SO that in
nearly every case a buyer will be hunt
ing up the good horse, while a pur-
chaser for a scrub must be hunted up.
1t is running great risk to breed to a
horse that is defective in any way, as
many diseases, faults and blemishes are
readily transmitted from parent to Off
spring.
1t should be understood thoroughly
that it costs no more to breed and raise
a good horse to maturity than a poor
one, SO far as the value of the feed and
care is concerned. It costs no more for
service with good animal than with
poor one, but the increased value makes
this investment profitable.
1t is hardly to be expected that per-
feet horse will be secured, but careful
ly select the mares; get those that are
sound, healthy and vigorous, of good
size, form and disposition and breed
them to a vigorous, thrifty stallion Of
some one of the better breeds. He
should be sound and sufficiently vigor-
| Gus to transmit his qualities to his off,
spring. Good grade draft horses, road
sters or work horses are always in de-
mand at profitable prices, and with
care in the selection of the breeding
animals, can be reared nearly if not
quite as readily as the common plugs
with which the market is overstocked.

one side. The structure is ten fe ct
wide, fourteen feet long and six feet
high inside, and is banked up on the
outside nearly to- the caves and sodded
with blue grass. The space between
the gable roof and the ceiling is closely
packed with straw, as also is the upper
half of the double walls, besides being
lined with tarred building paper. There
is ventilator twelve inches square at
the north end the outer end of which is
covered with wire screen, while the in
ner end is fitted with a hinged door.
This is much better than ventilator in
the roof, as all leakage is avoided. At
the south end is a covered entry, six
feet square, having an outer and an in
ner door, Just within the inner door is
another door opening into the green
house. Thus in the coolest weather
frosty air can not enter when the owner
does.
The walls of the greenhouse are also
double, but the space between them is
only two inches. The roof is double
with roofing paper between, and in
winter the sashes are double. The out
err sashes are taken off in spring and
used on the swe ct potato beds. There
is door at the east end of the green
house which, however, is tightly board
ed up in winter, and used only in the
spring. In very cold weather the green
house is heated by a small oil stove, but

THE FARMING WORLD.
FIR EARLY VEGETABLES.

Plans for an Excellent Outdoors ellar
and Green-House.
Not far from me lives q man who
makes business of growing for sale
small fruits for his home market, and
cabbage, tomato, pepper, sweet potato
and several kinds of Towering plants.
For raising early plants he has built a
most acknowledgements and neatly
constructed little cheap greenhouse.
His small farm is part of low, almost
level tract of land which can be drained
only very slowly through long, open
ditch. Owing to this fact he is unable
to have cellar under his house, and
therefore has built an outdoor cellar,
the floor of which is little above the
level of the surrounding surface Con-
nected with this cellar is his green
house. Fig, shows the ground plan of
both, and Fig. presents perspective
view of the southeasterly exposure.
The cellar is double-walled, having a
space of eight inches between the walls.
The outer wall is made of oak planks
two inches in thickness, and the inner
wall of one-inch pine boards dressed on
