against $685. during the same per-
iod in 1890. The increase OF $50
failures is unusually large. The ex-
tent OF the liabilities is also excessive,
the amount owing by the parties
who have failed in 1891 footing up
to 500, 100000, while for the same
period in 1890 it was only sos, OOO,-
600, indicating an increase in liza
bilities OF $27,OOO,OOO. Notwith-
standing the extreme extent of these
casualties, and other adverse circum-
stances, the reports from all portions
of the country indicate a fairly
healthy condition of trade. From

In many cases the cutting of green
feed and giving to the stock can be
done to advantage. The western
farmer, with cheap lands and conse-
quently cheap pasturage, would not
care to follow this plan with all of his
stock, as the large amount OF work
necessary, would, in very many cases,
make the work Improbable. But at
the same time many contingencies will
arise that a few stock can be fed this
way to an advantage. When the
work teams are kept busy it is not
always the best plan to turn them in
to a large pasture and let them run
all night. They need rest and they
will be benefited by feed of some
thing fresh. and green, and the best
way of supplying it is by cutting off
the grass and feeding to stock in the
stables. Hogs that are confined in close
pens can always be fed green clover cut
every day. Milk COWS, even when
OAOy lIoINt Cut IuI1 " Cllc puoCuICS Will
other cattle during the day, will give
more and richer milk if they are fed
grass or clover to.themseltes at night.
The work teams and the milk cows
need little better feeding during the
summer than the growing cattle or
horses, and in majority Of cases the
most economical plan OF furnishing it
is to have a patch OF clover, rye or
grass and cutting and feeding every
day. Millet, sweet corn or sorghum,
or the second growth OF clover, can be
used through the summer. 1t will be
best to grow such crops for this pur-
pose as can be cut cured and stored
away for uselater, if not needed when
matured sufficiently to harvest: Such
crops should be grown convenient to
the stables or feeding lots SO as to
lessen the work in feeding.
In many cases a patch that can be
used in this way for all the stock will
be found of considerable advantage
during thelatter part of summer when
it SO often occurs that the pastures
fail to supply plenty Of feed. But
with the teams and mich COWS more
or less can be turned to an advantage

son.-N. J. S., in Prairie Farmer.

Creamery Requisites,

The creamery itself may be describ-
ed as a square building 80 by 80 feet,
with engine house adjoining; the wash
room floor and Office are on the
ground level, while the work room and
store are sunk in the ground about
four feet, and are cement lined
throughout. The apparatus con-
sists Of an equipment OF Cooley cans
without taps for submerging in ice
water, two Boyd tempering watts, one
heating vat, 1900 gallon churn and
one Mason power worker. Power is
conveyed to this fat from six horse
power horizontal engine supplied with
steam power from an engine horse
power boiler.
Our butter which quickly found a
front place, is put up in packages
ranging from two pounds to fifty
pounds, while a small proportion IS
made into one pound prints and sold
from refrigerator boxes. From our
experience, and taking into considera-
ton the general conditions throughout
the province, feel that at present it
is not practicable to establish many
profitable creameries, but with her
rich natural pasture and other favor
able features Manitoba should make
a grand showing in the dairy line dur
ing the next decade. Let us persuade
our neighbors to superannuate the
fiat pan and the dash churn, grow
more fodder corn and roots, fill up the
chinks in the draughty COW house, use
good dairy salt and pack in new neat
tubs.-E. A. ST. uthers, Manager Bar

Kindness to Cows.


When l see a man go among his
COWS and they every one edge away
from him, I know there is emusic" in
his stable at milking time. But when
I see man going through his herd in
the pasture and he has to walk
around his COWS in order to make
progress, I know that peace and quiet
ness reign when the COWS come home.
And, after all, the Jersey COW is pc
culiarly sensitive to ill treatment,
more so than COW of any other breed i,
I believe, and Jerseymen, as a rule,
treat their COWS gently; it is seldom
that you see wild Jersey COW. And
the Jersey bulls wouldn't have the
reputation they bear if they were
handled as gently as the COWS are, but
it is dangerous business pettlng a
bull unless he is safely anchored.

FIDELITY BANK ROBBERY.

Attorney Albertson Being Examined
for Completely in the Matter.
TACOMA wash, Sept. l4.-The case of
r. B. Albertson, the Seattle attorney ac-
cused of concealing stolen property in
connection with the Fidelity Bank rob-
berry, was called in the Justices Court to-
day. The defendant isa cousin of Albert
son, the defaulter, who has not yet been
caught. a charge of grand larceny was
substituted for the original complaint.
Thomas B. Wallace, President of the
Fidelity Bank, testified that on Saturday
night, August 22d, E. Albertson alb
seconded with the banks funds. On Mon
day morning q messenger delivered let
ter from AlbertSOn, in which he said that
in 1891 he was short in his accounts SILL
$50 and had concluded to make il $50, 0O0
AlbertSon also took 100000 in securities
and changed all the combinations. The
letter also contained an agreement in
triplicate and instructions for Wallace to
meet man named Chandler at Browns
Point. The letter demanded that the
agreement in triplicate be signed before
witnesses and delivered to Chandler be-
fore 9 o'clock Monday morning. IN case
of refusal, Albertson threatened to burn
the securities, and reminded Wallace of
the trouble and expense the bank would
u.
Wallace related how he went to the
place designated by Albertson and re-
ceived the securities from Chandler.
The agreement that neither Albertson nor
Chandler were to be prosecuted was de-
livered to Chandler.
1t is the purpose of the prosecution to
show that r. E. Albertson prepared the
agreement not to prosecute three weeks
before the robbery occurred, and that he
was cogniZant of the whole affair and a
party to if. The case will be continued
tomorrow.

WHEATLAND, Sept. 14.-Word has just

Spaniard by the name of Nunas ended
up prolonged spree by smoking opium

Nunas was taken seriously i'll, and the
Chinese fearing the wrath of the citizens
if his body was found in their house.

with the intention of throwing him in.
They were discovered and arrested, and
an hour after they were placed in Jail
Nunas expired. Upon the facts of the
case becoming known the citizens at
tempted to break into the Jail, but the
officers secured sufficient assistance to
thwart their plans. Four men are stand

is increasinc
