HE duplicates HIS WIFE.
A Statement Made by the Suspected Muir
derer of Mrs. Munson.

New HAVEN, Dec. 30.-In the inquest in
the death of Mrs. Munson, the woman
mysteriously murdered in Shelton last
week, Coroner Dolen has discovered that
Hawley, the suspect, made a statement of
some kind to Theodore Bassett of An
sonia. From Bassett the coroner was able
to learn that Hawley had professed limo
cence, and in answer to Bassett's question
whether he knew the guilty one, Hawley
answered in the affirmative.
When pressed for direct information,
Hawley burst into tears and said: "It is
hard for man to go back on his wife. :"
Whether Hawley said more has not been
learned, and whether he is trying to i'm
plicate his wife to shield himself remains
to be seen. The coroner is still investi-
eating.

AN INTERESTING STORY
of the Circum stances Leading to the
Crime and Subsequent Events.

1t was on the morning of Feb II, 1890,
thai the first news of the strange disap-
pearance of Hiram Sawtell from his little
store in Boston became known. At
1878 Washington street Hiram kept his
little fruit store, and he lived happily
with his wife and his three children on
Dudley street. Then there was released
from the state prison, where he had been
serving long sentence Hiram's brother
Isaac, who came to live with them Isaac
found all of his old companions gone, and
himself an eX-convict without means or
work: while, on the other hand. his brother
Hiram was in possession of comfortable
little property. Isaac began to brood over
this seeming injustice, and to turn over in
his mind some way to get possession of at
least part of this, his brothers property.
Hiram and Hiram's wife knew that the
fraternal guest was casting envious eyes
on their little possessions, and that fact
made Mrs. Hiram Sawtell the quicker to
suspect foul play when Hiram disap-

Isaac's First Move.

During the last week in January Isaac
had asked Mrs. Sawtell, Hiram's wife. if
he might take one of his brothers. children
on visit with him to Lowell. She feared
some evil intention and refused the re-
quest. Then on Feb. Isaac came to the
house and said that he had asked Hiram
at the store if he might take Marion. the
Oldest girl, 8 years of age, on a visit with
him, and that Hiram had given his per
mission. Mrs. Sawtell, therefore, dressed
the little girl in her best clothes and
allowed her to start with her uncle When
Hiram came home from the store at night
he said he had never given permission to
Isaac to take the little girl with him. 1t
was on Saturday that uncle and niece
started. On Tuesday. Feb. 4, Hiram re-
ceived from Rochester, n. H., a telegram
informing him that Marion was very sick
and that he would better come at once
The next morning there came another tele-
gram telling him that his daughter was
better, but that he ought to come to her

GRANTING MICH COWS.
Does 1t Pay to Feed Cows Grain Whom

| Does 1t Pay to Feed Cows Grain When on
| Pasture?
The experiment station of Cornell
university has conducted three expert
ments carried through as many sea-
sons, for the purpose of determining
whether it is profitable to feed grain to
cows when on good pasture.
The first two experiments were made
at the station on lots of three cows
each, the cows being in good condition
and running on good pasture. AS some
objection was raised against the test on
the ground that the pastures used were
too rich and the cows too we'll fed to
show the best results from grain feed
ing in the summer time, the experiment
of 1891 was transferred to herd of six-
teen Jerseys and Jersey grades belong
ing to Messrs. c. NJ. and w. L. Bean, ii
McGrawville, N. Y. This herd had
been accustomed to only moderate
grain ration in winter and never had
any grain in summer. This herd was
divided into two lots of eight COWS each,
the division being made by the station
on the basis of weight, length of time
in milk, length of time in calf, yield OF
milk per day and per cent of fat in
milk, and was Endorsed by the owners
of the herd in the opinion that ''the
cows were as evenly divided as it was
possible for them to be-"
The experiment continued from May
Esd to October 23d, or twenty two weeks
One lot of cows received each day four
quarts of a mixture of two parts corn
meal, one part bran and one part cotton
seed meal by weight, fed in two feeds,
night and morning, when the cows were
brought in to be MIXED.
The general results of the three years
experiments are summarized as follows:
In 1889, in season in which the pas
turage was very luxuriant throughout
the whole summer, with three COWS in
each lot the grain fed lot gave consider
able less milk which was so much richer
in butter fat, that the total butter pro.
duction was practically the same in the
two lots In this experiment. the grain
feeding was commenced about month
after the cows had gone to pasture.
In 1890, in season in which the
pasturagc was luxuriant, except for a
Sl1OEI Cl1uc Ill tuc uluul0 Oh Lnc
with three cows in each lot, the total
amount of butter fat produced was al
most exactly the same in both lots. In
this experiment, the grain fed lot con-
tinuel to receive the same ration on
pasture, that they had been receiving
during the winter on dry feed.
In 1890, in an experiment on soil;ng
with grass alone, with grass and grain,
just about enough more butter was
produced by the grain feed to pay for
the increased cost of the grain ration.
In 1891, in a season in which at nc
time the pasture was very luxuriant,
with eight COWS in each lot, the grain
fed lot produced just enough more milk
and butter to pay for the increased cost
of the grain ration. In this experiment
the grain feeding was begun about two
weeks after the cows went to pasture.
