Milking.

To get the best results from each COW
it is very important that she be MIXED
regularly, dividing the space as evenly as
possible and taking all responsible care
to milk at stated times, says the Live
Stock Journal The same mixer, if he is
a good one, will get more milk from the
same COWS than is possible by
changing about. The work should
be done quickly and quietly and
gently and in a way that will
neither hurt nor scare the COW. The man
that can sit down on stool, stretch his
legs under the cow, set his pail between
his knees and milk with both hands, will
generally get all of the milk a COW will
give. Any abuse of the COW will cause a
failing in milk and a decrease in the
quantity. 1t is pleasure to the cow to
be MIXED properly, while il can be done
in a way to cause her much suffer
ing All the milk should be drawn out
without unnecessary stripping. Take
the milk out of the stable Immediately
after it is drawn. When first drawn it is
warm and very susceptible to foul doors,
and if left standing in the stables viii
absorb more or less odors, that is, to say
the least, will not be beneficial. Then, rs
the milk begins to cool, the process of
cream rising begins, and when every adj
vantage is to be taken TO make the most
out of the milk. 1t is an item TO get it
strained in the cans and set apart 10 {, DOL,
and for the cream to rise as soon as posi-
BILE after it is drawn.
1t is important that the milking vessels
be kept clean; scald out and rinse out
thoroughly every time they are used 1t
is only by perfect cleanliness that the
best quality of product is made and they
must begin with the milk If dirt or foul
odors once get into the milk they can not
be strained out, and will be carried
through all of the different processes of
the butter.

Shade as a Fertilizer.

do not care to ride any hobby to ex-
cess, but my results from mulching land
with straw are so remarkable to me that
it may be proper to mention them again,
says writer in Country Gentleman. A
few days ago, when nearly all the land
was so dry that seeding was out of the
question, l burned a straw mulch off
few acres that had been covered nearly
two months. This was an oat stubble,
turned and rolled down. The moisture in
the soil was so great that few hours of
sun and air were needed to dry it suffi-
GENTLY for the harrow. AS the
total rainfall in the month was
less than one inch, and most of it fell
two weeks previous to the burning.
and as most fallow land is excessively
dry, this experiment affords me proof of
the wonderful value Of a good mulch.
The limits of the plat l mulched one year
ago are still clearly defined by the growth
of young clover and timothy. The yield
of grain was much better than that from
tho remainder of the field, and now the
stand of grain is twice as good. Instead
of attempting to rot all the grain not con
sumed by cattle and spreading it as ma
nure, it seems to be far better to haul it
when dry and use as a covering for the
land, The returns from it are
much greater on the thin portions
of my fields. In some way it en-
riches more than can be credited
to the ashes, besides giving a find seed

My experience in deep blowing and the
power of clay dug twenty feet below the
surface to produce plants and grass leads
me to believe the fertility of the earth is
inexhaustible, writes Charles w. Camp
bell in Farmer and Fruit Grower.
The first blowing I ever did in Florida
was nine years ago II was in an old
field which had been cultivated in sugar
cane before the war, and for some time
after in cotton and corn, but for some
years had been turned out and had grown
up with briars and broom sedge. The old

oats-Best Variety and Best Fertil-
izer.

Agricultural Editor of the Morning
News: Which is the best variety of oats
for medium sandy soil! What kind of
fertilizer would be best? RIG.
We know Of no better kind than the
Georgia yellow cat, though the Texas
raised is most generally used. There are
several varieties, such as appler, black
winter, winter turf, and if it came con-
venient we would advise you to make
small test of all of them. Cotton seed
with some acid phosphate makes a good
fertilizer for oats and is most readily OBJ
tanned by our farmers. Bonel dust is ex-
cellent A crop of peas should precede
oats whenever practicable. There is
usually very little profit on a crop of oats
made with commercial fertilizers alone.

THE NEW LIBRARY.
Increased Accommodations for Read

erS.
The work of preparing the northeast
wing of the new City Hall for the reception
of the Free Library is progressing so rapidly
that an idea may now be formed Of wha t
the quarters will look like about August l,
when the transfer from the present quar-
tiers will be made.
The first thing that impresses the mind is
the large increase OF floor space. The new
library will be % feet square.
On the second floor will be the stackroom.
on one side of which is to be the general
delivery desk. There viii be four alcoves
adjoining the main space. One of these
alcoYes is divided from the stackroom by
the delivery desk, which is 60 feet long.
The entire floor Of the stackroOm is to be
covered with bookcases seven feet high, so
that every book is accessible without the
use of ladders.
At each corner of the room staircas Sc
leads to the gallery, one portion OF which Is
allotted to the ladies, another to the news
department and third to the general read
ing-rOom.
From this gallery there issue branches,
one of which is the bound periodical room.
The Librarians room, workroom aud cloak
room are all on the same side.
The grand staircase is OF iron and much
OF the material is now delivered and some
Of 1t in position. Elaboration has not been
aim ed at. but the portion SO far erected has
substantial appearance.
The interior fittings, desks, etc., ara of
prima vera, or white mahogany. The ac-
commodations will be nearly or quite double
those afforded In the present quarters. The
ceiling is TO have plaster panels deliberately
modelled and an ornamental centerpiece.
The lighting will be by four large chan
deliers of forty electric lights each and
about 1900 incandescent lamps will be suit
ably distributed.

he received his injuries is not credited by
the police.
Thompson is a sailor in the British ship
OeenGar and concluded to take a walk
about town. He asserted that he was on
his way back TO the vessel and was assing
the corner of Seventh and Townsend streets
shortly after midnight, when he was at
tackled by an unknown man, who struck
him on the head with a sandbag and
Knocked him down. The fOotpad then de-
manded his money and, when he refused to
part with his property gracefully, beat him
over the head severely with the sandbag,
inficting sundry ugly wounds.
Thompson was found lying In the door
way of the house occupied by Jacob Rohr-
bacher at GIT Seventh street apparently I'M
conscious ut o'clock yesterday morning,
when its astOnished occupants left to go to
work.
Rohrbacher played the part of the good
Samaritan and put the injured man To bed
in his house, where he remained until last
night, when he was taken 10 the Receiving
Hospital for treatment.
Thompson had apparently been terribly
beaten about the head, which was badly
confused. besides which his nose was frac-
tured and his eyes bnckened. Assistant
Police Surgeon Coffman dressed his
wounds, but as Thompson may br other
wise Injured, he was detained at the hos
pital.
The police think he was Injured in a
saloon row.

rebound the point of the ehisel struck him
on the chest over the heart, penetrating to
the depth of several inches.
He fell to the floor. but recovering his feet
staggered TO The other end of the workshop
shrieking, "Oh, mamma, mamma"
The men running to his help were horri-
fed to see the blood gushing not only from
tile terrible wound in his cnest, but from
his mouth and nose. AS they reached him
he staggered and but for their support
would have fallen to the floor.
He was placed on a table and the patrol
wagon instantly summoned.
When the young man fell he relapsed into
an unconscious state, from which lie did L OF
recover.
Immediately on arriving at the Receiving
Hospital he was placed on the operaiing-
table. but it was evident that he had but a
short time to live. The lungs had evidently
been penetrated, as each time he breathed
flood of blood gushed forth. The loss of
blood before the arrival at the hospital was
very great, both through the gaping wounds
and internally.
Gonzales expired ten minutes after he was
carried into the hospital.

act.
William NJ. Piersou, of the firm of Pier
son ~ Mitchell, who, with Arthur Rogers,
have drawn up the application. thus ex-
plains the position taken by the Mayor in
regard 10 the validity of his veto:
The Supervisors claim that section OF
article XIV of the constitution does not say
tnat the Mayor has right to veto water or
dnances
1T does not say that the water ordinances
snail be passed in the same way as is pro-
vlded by law for the passing of other meas
ures though. From this fact we have at
least four sound arguments to show why
the veto of the Mayor is valid.
In the first place, the law says that any
order granting privilege must be ap-
proved by the Mayor.
Article XIV of the constitution declares
that the collection of water rates is fran
chlse' aud depends on the rates being fixed
by the board. A franchise is n privilege,
and in this case very valuable one.
1T is also provided that where a contract
Is made involving sum of more than $500
the contract must be passed upon by the
Mayor. The water ordinance contracts for
the payment of s. so monthly for each fire.
plug in the city, whether it be used or not.
This would bring the monthly payment to
over $500. In fact, the contract calls for
the payment of over $4,000 Yet the Super
vlsors say that the Mayor has no voice in
the matter.
Another section of the constitution pro-
vides that the renewal of q right or lease
must be approved by the Mayor. The
Spring Valley Water Company collects its
rents on contract made with the Super
visors. If a new ordinance is not passed
fixing the rates they cannot collect any
money after June 81 1898. when the old
rates expire. Surely this is the renewal of
right.
Whenever a new duty is imposed upon
ofhcers of the city the ordinance is subject
to the veto Of the Mayor. Each new water
ordinance imposes new rates to be collected.
This IS new duty for the collectors. Be-
sides these men the disbursing officers pay
ing out new rates on the new orders have
new duties.
For these reasons we claim that Mayor
Eilerts veto of the water ordinance is valid.
Since the ordinance was not repassed by
vote OF nine members there is NJ new water
ordinance
THE law says that in February of each
year the Supervisors must pass an ordinance
fixing the water rates for the ensuing year.
1t is now April. and we claim no such
ordinance has been IasSed, as tile Mayors
veto annulled the one they tried to adopt.
For this reason we have asked Judge
CARRIER TO order the Supervisors to appear
before him and explain why they have not
done their duty.
1.-The case will merely test the right of
the Mayor to veto water ordinances. They
will claim that they have passed the ordi-
nance as required. If it is true that water
ordinances do not require to be approved by
the Mayor, this is true. II they cannot
prove their point they will have to pass
new ordinance"

A Test Case to Settle the Question
of Hot or Cold.

A Test Case to Settle the Question
of Hot or Cold.
On Monday next Justice Barry will try
the case of John Rotschmann VS.. Robert
Lorenz the latter master baker on Grant
avenue.
The action is nominally one to recover
S1O5 from Lorenz for breach of contract and
wrongful dismissal of the plaintiff and one
Adam SehOberth, who has assigned his
claim. Both the men are jOUrneymen
bakers. and the fight is really one between
the German Bakers Union and the Bakers
and Conlectoners' Union on one side and
the master bakers on the other.
The act which is to Re tested is that
passed by the last Legislature, which pro-
vides that every person engaged in any
occupation of labor shall be entitled 10 one
days rest therefrom in seven; and it shall
be unlawful for any employer of labor TO
cause his employees, or any of them, to work
more than six days in seven; provided,
however, that the provisions of this section
shall not apply to any case of emergency,
and excepting, also, domestic servants"
The matter will undoubtedly be appealed
to the Superior Court whichever way the
Justices decision may go, and the object of
the suit is said to be to get case for ap-
npaI
