ELKToN, Nd, Feb. 24.-If the motion
for new trial is refused Alfred Stout,
colored, convicted of murder of the old

Probably very few, if any, better
herds of dairy COWS can be found than
that Of Hon. Z. S. Henry, treasurer of
the state of Connecticut. 1t consists
Of TWENTY-FIVE or more thoroughbred
Jerseys of the best of that breed. Mr..
Henry has been unusually successful
with his herd and also as a butter MAX
er, the making of which has been car
led On at his farm, although at the
present time he is a patron of a neigh
boring creamery. His experience in
feeding is valuable to every farmer
and stock breeder. All his stock, dur
ing winter especially, is carefully bee
ded and groomed.
RatiOnS for mich COWS during Will
ter are daily given according to age and
condition: Forty to fifty pounds sweet
ensilage, one to two and a half pounds
cotton seed meal, one and a half TO
thre pounds new process linseed meal,
three to four pounds corn and cob meal,
two to three pounds spring wheat bran.
The grain ration is thoroughly mixed
with the ensilage and fed in two ratiOnS
supplemented with a very HClt fed
of early cut hay.
He makes the declaration that for
both milchs COWS and young stock, two
full daily feeds are preferable to more
frequent feelings. The ration mention
ed is believed to be as well balanced
as is profitable, having as much highly
heterogeneous matter as can safely be
fed, having a due regard to health
With such q feed the dairy product is
finely favored and of god color. Some
forty pounds of milk daily for weeks
together, and the general average of his
herd is a pound of butter to eight
quarts of milk. From a careful record
of his herd kept during the year end
ing January 1, 1892, he gives as Il
result, 800 IA pounds Of butter per COW
exclusive of milk fed to young calves.
The average amount received from but
ter sales was S121.12 per COW. Most
of the COWS of the herd We're bred by
himself, and the rule adopted in feding
has been to obtain the best results with
out injury to breeding qualities; no fore
ing or over feeding has ben allowed,
but the study has been the capacity
and demand of the individual COW.
The. grain rations are carefully handled
by one man.
The case of Mr.. Henry is striking
example of what may be accomplished
by a study Of the requirements of the
animal coupled with intelligent appli-
cation Of the ideas discovered in the
process &C feding. He gives expression
to the truth in saying that farmers
usually do rot seem to comprehend the
fact that it costs no more to bred ana
raise the thoroughbred than the grade.
His success, both as a breeder and
as a dairyman, is such as to give
great weight to his views upon the
subject of breeding and feeding and is
worth the consideration of all following
in bis line of pursuit.

way have a much better flavor than
those that have the vines pulled and
hung up. They will ripen until mid
winter, and one can have fresh raw to-
toes every day. I hope every farmer
and every lover of tomatoes will try

their table this winter. Two or three
healthy plants will furnish enough for
one family. If one does not have
success with cuttings, Try the layering
process and sever from the main stalk

Seating of Jelly Jars.

Strain jelly into jelly jars which have
been thoroughly washed in soap and
water and have been standing in
boiling water for half an hour. When
the jelly is cool pour over it a small
quantity of melted parafiine, let it
harden then pour in more, for as the
first hardens it may crack or shrink
from the sides and leave spaces where
fe1mentS may occur. In other words
the jars need to be made air tight--nOt
that the air does mischief, but because
it contains the organisms which on en-
tering the jelly cause by their growth
the changes known as souring. The OBJ
ject is to exclude all micro organisms.
This may be done in other ways than
by the use Of paraffine. Cut a piece of
white paper just large enough to cover
the jelly: cock it in alcohol Tor five min.
utes, then fit it into the tumbler and
pack over it Wad of steriliZed cotton
batting, let it fill the mouth of the jar
or lumber like stopper. This is an eff
fectual means of preserving all kinds Of
fruit, as heterogeneous cannot go
through the batting. Care must be
taken however, to have it properly ster-
ilized. This may easily be accomplished
by taking wads of the required shape
and size and putting them in tin plato
in a hot oven for half an hour.
When putting the cotton into jars
be careful not to touch the under side
of the wad or allow it to touch any
thing until it is placed in the jar; each
may be wound with a piece of cloth to
make it look neat or a piece of paper
may be tied over it.

Drying Appies.

In general quite a large amount of the
fruit of the apple orchard falls off
prematurely from the effect of the
winds, and a considerable quantity,
usually of a better quality is knocked
off or rejected in the final gathering
from the tree of the winter apples
Where such can be sold in their green
condition in near by markets for in
mediate use, even at low prices it will
commonly be found the most profit
able method of disposing of them
Where no such market is near enough
at hand to be available q very common
method is to dry as many as possible.
in this way much fruit which other
wise might be lost, can by utilizing n
portion of the time Of members Of
thefamily, be manufactured into Il
bookkeeping product for which there
is always a market. For work of this
kind preparations should be made before
hand; but it went pay to hire labor to
do it, Apple parers should be provid
ed for eXpediting the business, and the
fruit should be pared in such a maner

detracts more from the value of fruit
in the eyes OF a purchaser than to find
The pieces badly badly pared and with

EqGs on limited Grounds

Tegetmeier, the well known English
authority on poultry, says that there
is but one way in which to get a sue
cessiCn of eggs in a run Of limited eX-
tent and that is by continually get
ting rid of the old hens and supplying
their place with fresh bought, healthy
young pullets. He says:
eff 1 lived in a village or town and
required eggs all the year around I
should relinQuish the idea Of keeping
any particular bred. Every autumn
I should purchase from healthy coun-
try runas many early Matched pullets
as I required, preferably of non-incu-
batting varieties-Spanish, Houdan or
Hamburg-these would lay during the
winter In the spring as the warla
weather commenced I would supply
their places with a number of later
Matched chickens OF last season, and
these might be -4liel upon for layins;
the second winter. This plan would
not be an expensive one, while it would
conduce to the health of the stock and
secure a good supply of eggs.
