CRANK AFTER EDDIE GUILD.
He Demands $4,000. but the MilliOnsire's
Goodness Saves Him.

New YoRK.-The outbreak of
''cranks'' following the assassination of
Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, has set in
as the authorities feared. Superinten-
dent Byrnes said, speaking of the
matter:
81 suppose we shall hear more of
that sort Of thing. After the Sage ex-
plosion / heard no end of threats by
letter and message, but nothing else
came of it, perhaps because some of
those fellows were locked up in season.
That is the remedy. 4
Another specimen of this murder
Gus tribe was lodged behind the bars,
after having given Edwin Gould a ter
rible scare. But forthe GOODNESS of the
young millionaire he might have be-
come the victim of his unbalanced vi
sitor.
In the afternoon a slim young fellow
walked into the Western Union Bull
ding and went up to Edwin Gould's Of
flee. He told the clerk that he had a
message of the utmost importance for
Mr.. Gould. The latter at the time
was engaged, but as the caller looked
respectable and was not in the least ex-
cited, he was admitted to the private
room
A FIERCE DEMAND FOR CASH,
He de clared that his name was Mon
golia Andrews and he lived in Brook
Ign, being a telegraph operator. He
then demanded of the astounded mil
lionaire $4,000, saying that he had lost
hat sum during the recent strike.
Mr.. Gould realized that he had a
crank to deal with and felt somewhat
uneasy. He begged to be excused for
a moment, and stepping into an ad-
joining room telephoned to Superin-
tendent Brynes for help. Then he re-
turned and humored his visitor until q
detective from the Wall street station
arrived on the double quick. The
crank, who wal unarmed, was hand
cuffed without trouble and marched off
to the station. He gave his age as 81,
but looks younger. He was fairly well
dressed. 2

Mr.. Ferris, he of the wheel, pro-

says that the chief item of cost in
canals is the building and maintenance
of locks, and that this a be avoided
by the use of compressed air. 'There
is no reason why a box could not be
constructed into which the largest
ocean ships could be foated, the box
closed, and the whole box-water,
ship and all-raised by compressed air
as easily as you lift an elevator" We
have no doubt this is true. DIR. Cat
ling, who invented the compressed air
drill, but was not allowed to patent it,
has always claimed that there was
practically no limit to the work that
could be done by mean of compressed

Dairy Notes.

WHEN COW steps into the milk pail :,
she steps into the butter as well.
GOOD feeding in the dairy is certain
to tel by and by, if closely followed.
ALLOWING the cream to stand too
long often causes the butter to be
white.
G Cd butter can be made in winter
as well as in summer, if proper care is
taken.
LABoR-sAvING machinery in the
dairy will lessen the work, but will not
lessen the care necessary.
WINTER dairying affords good OPP
| portuLlty 10 market ali kinds of grain
to good advantage by feeding it to the
cows.
TIE winter board is the most costly,
aud it will cost but little more to board
the cow wei enough 10 make winter
dairying profitable.
AVOID metals about butter, as the
salt in the butter will often cause rust
and stain the butter, while metallic rust
is often poisonous.
THE cows ration needs to be changed
occasionally, even if it is necessary to
give her some ching that is less valuable
for time or two.
If the growing heifer is to become
good COW, it is very important that dur
ing growth she should be fed as though
she were good COW.
THE time when cows are made or
spoiled is when heifers are approaching
calving with their fist calves, aud for
at least six months thereafter.
FORCING COW for short period is
not accepted as legitimate measure OF
her capacity, no matter how well au-
thenticated her performance may be.
If there are cows in the herd that are
not paying good profit now, this is
one of the best reasons to get rid of
them before the weather gets severely
cold.
MILK remaining in the udder moro
than twelve hours will lose proportion
ately in quantity and considerably in
quality, having lower percentage Of
cream.
THE state of Vermont depends on its
dairy industry more Than anything else
in the farming line. The butter market
of Boston is supplied almost entirely
from the green valleys of that state,
and it has been thought that in that
commodity at least thew need not fear
the competition Of the West, which had
practically taken almost every other
agricultural production from the IN. So
thought Edward Farrell, who is visiting
his brother Frank of this city. Mr..
Farrell is dairy farmer of Vermont,
and, being interested, took the pains TO
investigate and has found out that the
creameries of Iowa can lay down their
butter stocks in New York city for pre-
cisely the same freight rate per hun
dred pounds as the farmer of Vermont
can ship his butter one fifth the dis
lance 10 Boston. With everything fav-
oring the cheaper production in the
West, and with the advantage derived
from the cheap long haul, it is evident
that the dairy business will be con-
trolled in the West just as grain and
live stock is. Now let our hens cheer
up and by their diligence crown the
West with the laurels of their indus
try.-Fort Dodge, Iotca, Messenger.

A WRITER in Rural Life Eve think
says: " l have had under my notice the
farmer boys of my locality, and know
how they have succeeded, and perhaps
can give some light on the question of
hard work and chances for profit.
Three years ago two of them on neigh
boring farms started in business for
themselves, one going to the city and
the other taking his fathers farm on
shares. Both were boys of good habits
and principles, with energy and pluck,
and determination to succeed. The
boy who stayed on the farm has saved
several hundred dollars and will 10 a
few years have enough capital to start
in business for himself, either on a
rented farm or to buy small farm
with fair prospect of becoming its
owner and out of debt by the time he
reaches middle life. The other young
man was success ful in at once procur-
ing a situation with firm of good
men, and has remained with them till
the present., and expects to for years to
come. He began at $4 a week and in
creased to s. before the year was out,
but his board and room cost S5 week
and washing, clothing and other neces-
sary expenses cost $l,20 more than his
salary. The second year his pay was

THE growing of the larger and later
sorts of corn for fall and winter COW
feed is greatly on the increase in New
England, especially in connection with
winter dairying. From five to twenty
acres on one farm, and in some cases
even more, are being grown. We think
our neighbor, Speaker Grout, of the
Vermont house of representatives, has
grown as much as forty or fifty acres of
Sanford corn in season for his herd of
seventy-fve dairy beasts. We are fol-
lowing the brave major, at a long in-
terval; and this year put in four acres,
which made such a nice growth that
our neigbbors tried to have us get il
photographed. A little more than a
peck of seed to the acre was planted,
and the s'aks grew eight to niue feet
high. We have got it in in nice order,
and had barely barn and shed room TO
hold it. The COWS eat it clean, and don't
care for much else. There are some,
but not a large amount, good ears on
the stalks. We believe we should plant
less rather than more seed another
time; still, if the goodness is all there,
we would prefer not to have any grain,
for it is great encouragement to rats
and mice, which otherwise do not seem
TO care to nest in 1t. Our neiybbor
Grout cuts and steams his fodder, be-
fore feeding; but we are not fixed for
that, and do not yet feel sure that il
pays to do it where it is all eaten clean
without that trouble, as ours is. If the
stock eat it all, we see no advantage in
this operation, aside from some gain
from the cooking. Even as to that
experiments seem to show that steam
ing is of slight advantage, unless the
70 lder is so immature as to become icy
in freezing. -
On the comparative value of corr
feed and clover hay, the above-quoted
M issachusetts Report says: "While
over one-half of the digestible matter
of the corn crop is found in the slower
and while an acre of slower contain;
nearly as much digestible matter as
