SkiMMILk FOR COWS.
Gratifying Results Obtained In varis
rnrts OF New York.

Gratifying Results Obtained In Various
rArts OF New York.
In parts Of Cattaraugus and Della
ware counties. N. ", it has been the
custom long time to feed siximmill,
back to the cows, and with gratifying
result. No accurate data are recorded
to show its actual value, but enough
benefit Is known to continue the prac-
tice. An extensive dairyman Of the
latter county, ever alert to investigate
and adopt new and promising methods,
says that "slsimmills fed to cows will
produce as much butter-fat Ms it will
pork-fat II fed TO pigs" Here Is gain
OF 200 per cent in the feeding value of
lsimmilk when fed to cows instead OF
pigs, for butter-fat Is worth three
times as much pcr pound as pork-fat.
Moreover, this method obliterates that
usual nuisance, the hog pen, where the
swine are fed milk in warm weather;
the care Of these disagrecable animals
Is eliminated from the dairym AMI daily
duty. When milk Is fed to hogs grain
must be added to make solid pork.
Tho dniryman quoted above would say
that both this grain and milk, il fed to
cows, even at pasture, would be much
more profitable. Another result of
feeding skimmilk to cows, II one ex-
pertinent station professor be correct,
is that after long lactation it aids in
retaining in the buttcr-fat the volatile
havoring oils that are largely lost from
the milk OF cows as they approach the
time OF parturition- A writer snys oil
critical bnttormakcrs know that the
butter from ''strippers" lacks the
quick. rosy flavor that milk OF fresh
cows imparts to butter Now II feed
ing milk helps to retain this flavor Ia
the product good dairymen will be
glad to avail themselves of tho prac-

In commenting on an article in the

In commenting on an article in the
SIGNAL on roads the Citizen says:
I'VE heartily concur in the suggestions
offered by the SIGNAL in regard TO the
adjustment Of our present road law and
the enactment Of one that will be produc.
tive Of better results. We had been
thinking OF writing an article on this
same subject for some time, but submit
the following in lieu thereof There ia
hardly anything within the wide range Of
mans imagination that would be a more
ignominious failure than our present
method Of repairing county roads. We
have often heard the remark that the work
done In some road districts in the county
each year, where there were from 30 to 90
men subject to road tax, could be done by
one able bodied man In two or three DAVIS
and usually there is more truth than
poetry In the remark. Our idea is to have
The road tax. whatever IL may be, made
payable in money only; empower the COM
missioners with the authority to let the
contracts to keep the roads repaired In the
different districts for = year or better still
for term Of years. as the contractor
could make good road beds and with yery
little work keep them In excellent condi-
ton. The road tax at present In this
county Is four dollars, and we are satisfied
under the proposed system II would not
exceed half this amount, besides having
good roads,"
Shake, Lortonl Whatever else Won
may do that we dislike, we will ioin
hands with you and work shoulder to
shoulder when you take stand for
reform in roads. Give us perfect
highways to each and every section
IN the county, and the free coinage of
silver, and every Washington county
farmer will have money in his pocket
the year round. But we must make
every effort to induce our contempt
raries to take up the war and make it
\ state matter.

was the mate. He had a revolver,
but not wishing to risk a direct

to the bulwarks and ran up the rig

Gibraltar, March 29th.-The
Mersev Line steamer Mequinez,
which arrived this morning from Mo
gador and "Tangier'' reports a shock
inc tragedy which took place without
warning shortly after the vessel left
Mogador, and which resulted in the
deaths of two passengers, and the Sc
rious wounding Of the captain and
the cook of the steamer. The muir
derer was a Moor, who is evidently
insane, although he had no signs of
mental trouble before the murders.
The vessel was steaming quietly
along, and, in consequence Of the
heat and bright sunshine, general
somnoIence reigned among the few
passengers. Two Moors, among
others, were str tched asleep on the
deck near the companion-way. Sud
denly the crazy passenger ran up the
stairs, sprang out upon the deck, and
brandishing two reyolyers, with a
wild shrek began firing indlscrlmln-
ateIy. The two MOofS SpFah5 up ~
the first shot and were shot one at
ter the other, falling back in a dying
condition upon the very spots, where
but a few minutes before, they had
lain asleep. They both died within
five minutes. The captain, who was
on deck at the time and who had wit
messed the scene, ran quickly towards
the l~unatic, who met him with a shot,
which struck the captain in the face
passing through his checks. The
commander, now frightened, took to
flight and lodged below, locking him
self in his cabin. The utmost CON

passengers, alarmed out Of their

THE E JAPAN EARTH
QUAKE.
From the Times March 18Th.

have come to light some more exact
particulars Of the great earthquake
of the 28th ofOctober than could be
given when | wrote to you directly
after its occurrence. These show, a.
mong other things, that the magni-
tude Of The catastrophe was at first a
good deal under-e estimated in nearly
every respect. The number of peo-
pie killed and burned to death, for
instance. is now found to have been
about 10000 instead of 5000, and the
number Of the injured to have been
$4,000 instead oflO,0 900. The area Of
the severely shaken district-taking
as its measure that In which brick
buildings suffered is estimated by
Professor %ilne. in q recent mono
graph on the subject, at 4,400 square
miles. The same authority adds that
the disturbance distinctly shook about
$4,000 sQuaremiles ofJapan's terrific
nv that tremors were noticed at
Shanghai; that delicate instruments
NAV possibly have been affected even
at our Antio0des; and that if Japan
had been surrounded by terra frma
instead of water. the land area directly
agitated would have been as much as
100000 square miles. 1t is now GER
tain that the locus Of most potent en-
r was in the Mino mountains, to
the north Of Gifu, as suggested in my
former letter. The N6o Valley in
that region, happily containing but
few inhabitants, presented to the be-
Wildered gaze Of the h%alf-dozen adj
y~enturou8 spirits who hurriedly
visited it soon after the disaster a
scene oil past havocso tremendous and
terrible as to have changed almost the
whole face Of nature. Unfortunate
". the circumstances Of the time and
the difficulty and danger of travel
forbade any thorough examination of
the valley and its en~Virons. Explor-
ers. however bold and ardent, could
hardly be expected to stay long
enough for that purpose in a region
where the still palsied earth kept
grooming and quaking under their
feet, and where the shattered hill
sides over which they had to scramble
were from time to time breaking a
way, with a d~eafening roar, in stupen-
dous landslips, themselves great
enough to produce local earthquakes
on q small scale. A little later the
first snow Of winter fell, and blocked
the upland glens. Deliberate research
was thus prevented, and cannot be
undertaken before the coming spring.
Enough, however, vas observed by
the early explorers to establish that
the chief lines Of destructive agency
c~onverged towards some quarter of
the hill region. in or near this N6o
Valley, and that the surface convul-
sions Whereabouts must have been of
almost inconceivable violence. At
some points, indeed, upheaval and
depression had wrought abrupt
changes Of the ground-level amount

A Cowbov,s seuse Of Humor.

A globe trotting Englishrnan told me
this story: ITO show you that the cow
boys are not as bad as they have been
painted--in fact, that they are opposed
to anything like lawbrealzing and vio-
lence-let me relate an incident. There
was poor clerk standing up over his
books at a desk in shop on the main
street, and there was cowboy riding
up and down the street. Well. the cow
boy saw the clerk and his sense of hu-
NOR was aroused by the idea of shooting
at him. d'you know Those cowboys
have very remarkable sense Of humor
So the cowboy ups with his pistol, d'you
know, and he shoots the poor clerk right
through the head, killing him Instantly
"Well, now, that sort of thing is very
distinctly frowned upon by cowboys, as
rule, and in this case the cowboys held
a meeting and resolved that the fellow
with the lively but dangerous sense of
humor should be hanged at once. They
put rope around his neck. and there
being no tree anywhere in sight they
hung him to the side Of Pullman as
the train came rolling in. I've seen a
number Of occurrences of that sort,
which makes me quite positive in stat
ing that though they are very rum
sort of beggars they are really not bad
lot. Julian Ralph in Harper's Weekly.
