Rodents as ANALYSTS.

A novel method of testing the qua
lily of butter has been accidentally
discovered. A number of butter
samples were recently sent to a che
mist for analysis. The butter wrap
pers, after being discarded, were left
lying upon the laboratory table all
night. The next morning the chemist
found that ten of the twelve wrep>
pers had been completely cleaned by
mice, while two remained untouched.
Having made his analysis he found
that of the twelve samples ten were
pure, natural butter, the other two
being magarene, and this was con-
tanned in the two wrappers which
had been lett untouched by the mice.
Not knowing how to explain the
occurrence, the chemist placed q
quantity Of butter in one corner of
dish, and in the other corner q SINH
lar quantity of margarine. He then
placed the dish on the table until
next morning, when the natural but
ter had disappeared. The margarine
showed no trace of having been dis.
turbed, except where it had been
very gingerly tested. After several
experiments it was thoroughly de-
monstrated that mice will only
eat margarine when there Is MOTH
ing else to satisfy their hunger,
but will eat natural butter whenever
the opportunity arrives. The natural
inference Is that hOuseholders have
always at their command very reli-
able means of testing the purity of,
at all events, one Indispensable arti-
Gle of their commssariat.

CAPTURE A FREIGHT.
A Southern Pacific Train In the
Hands of Armed Men.

HOUSTON, Tex, Oct. 10.-Southern
Pacific officials are considerably excited
over news wired from points along the
line concerning the capture of one of
their freight trains at Delrio by band
of of sixty-five armed men, who claim
to be miners from California and New
Mexico, who took possession Of train,
driving off the crew and all others who
attempted to dissuade them. They say
they have been driven to desperation
by the delay of the senate in settling
the silver question, so that business
NAV be resumed in the silver producing
states, and that they propose going 10
Alabama to take the places of the strik-
ing miners, as 1t is now work or starva-
tion with them. They are running the
train ON their own schedule and the
dispatchers are puzzled in order TO
avoid a collision with regular trains.
They stop at the different towns and
levy tribute of provisions, but so far
have committed no other depredations.
Being well armed and determined, Of
ficers dare not attack them unless they
can muster a sufficient posse. which can
not be done, except in the cities. 1t is
expected they will abandon the train
near the end of the division, go around
the city, and by capturing other trains,
proceed on their journey.
IL d. m.--The headquarters OF the
Southern Pacific here have just received
a telegram from San Antonio stating
that when the train pulled in there
forty of the tramps were caught, while
twenty-five escaped, but are being pur-
crad

CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
Corn shows a Falling OH-The other
Averages.

WASHINGTON, oct. 10.-The October
returns to the statistician Of the depart
ment of agriculture make the general
condition of corn ISL against 767 for
last month and 1913 for October. 1892
This falling off in condition is the result
of the continued drought which has pre-
vailed since June and was not broken i'm
the corn belt until the latter end OF Sep
TENDER. The drought was most severe
in the principal corn-producing states.
The averages of condition in these states
are as follows: Ohio. 40: Indiana, 81;
Illinois, &c. Iowa, So; Missouri, 50; Kan
sas. "a; Nebraska, g.
The returns of yield per acre of wheat
indicate a production of about 11.3 BUSH
els, being IL bushels less than
last october estimate. The rate
of yield I'm New York is I4.5
bu; Pennsylvania. 14O; Ohio. 100;
Michigan. 1870; Indiana, 14.2: Illinois. ia:
Wisconsin, 1873; Minnesota, 81; Iowa, Ills
Missouri, 9.5; Kansas, S.4; Nebraska, 81;
South Dakota, Sc; North Dakota, 9.5;
California, 11.2.
The highest rate OF yield is in the
New England, eastern, extreme western
and mountain states and lowest in the
central, western and southern states.
The small yield is in the region Of the
drought during the fall which caused
poor termination and growth, the severe
winter following causing considerable
winter killing. The low condition in
many states is the result of the dry
spring. The states reporting the lowest
averages as to quality are: Kentucky,
Sc; Illinois, so; Wisconsin, So; Iowa, SO;
Missouri, 10; Kansas, 20; Nebraska, S4
The average yield of oats as CONSOLE
dated is 23.5, against 2430 last year The
last report of condition was 74.9, against
1873 the same month last year. The av-
erage of estimated state yields Of rye
is 1873, against 1871 last year The aver
age yield of barley is 217, against 1871
last year. The condition Of buckwheat is
1876, against us last month, and S56
Oct l, 1892 The condition OF potatoes is
given at 71.2, loss of only clio of a
point since the last report. But three
October conditions have been lower in
the last decade, 1887, 1890 and 1892.
The condition Of tobacco has improved
slightly over last month, being 741
against 1913 last month.

The National Provisioner says that
the future salvation of the farmer Will
depend TO a large extent on the diver
sity Of his products. A greater variety
of stock as well as crops will increase
his chances of profit materially. In
many sections the systematic raising Of
hogs has been much neglected. Hogs in
crease rapidly, eat a great many differ
ent kinds of food and can be full fed for
market in comparatively short time.
The large amount of feed that can be
grown on an acre of Jerusalem artlchoke
and the fact that hogs will harvest the
crop Is left without rings in their noses
lead farmers to plant them for the hogs.
But they are not very nutritious and
hogs need grain with this feed IL they
are to keep thrifty. If they have grain
enough to fatten them they will not
root much. The artichoke crop is, there
fore, disappointing to those who expect
from it a means of fattening pork at
low cost

FIRE DEPARTMENT SENSATION.
The Chief Found Drunk and n Fire
man Arrested for Arson.

OMAHA, Oct. 12.-An arrest was made
in Council Bluffs this morning which
promises sensational developments, as it
involves a portion of the fire department
in serious difficulties. Shortly before IL
o'clock Wednesday night an empty build
ing was set on fire, the blaze being dis
covered by officers, who extinguished it,
Half an hour later the same officers
found the fire burning again. After ex-
tinguishing it they followed two men
who seemed to be skulking about the
fire and saw them enter the upper Broad
way hose house. Knowing the fire would
probably be started again the officers
concealed themselves and caught sight
Of fellow prowling about and followed
him. They caught him just as he had
reached the upper floor Of the engine
house with a big chunk of waste in his
hand saturated with kerosene and care
fully wrapped in paper. He proved to
be fireman named Weber Search of
the hay loft revealed Chief Nicholson
lying on pile of hay sleeping off the
effects of a night of dissipation In
Omaha, where he had been accompanied
by Weber. Nicholson has been trying
Of the department ever since his appoint
ment. Weber has been subbing at va
rious engine houses for several months
past.
The matter was taken UP by members
of the council committee on fire depart
ment and an investigation is in progress.
Sensational developments are looked for
and a special meeting of the council is
called for tomorrow night by Mayor
Lawrence, at which it is expected that
several changes will be made in the
membership of the fire department.

A season of experiment teaches how
10 avoid mistakes and also TO take adj
vantage OF opportunities the succeeding
year, says the Philadelphia Record.
When the experiments are made TO ex-
tend over a period of three years the
rsults are sufficiently conclusive to be
satisfactory to all classes. In the feed
ing Of dairy cows at the Cornell uni
versity station, which was done for the
purpose of comparing the effects of the
feeding of grain with an abund-
ance OF pasture, and during term of
three years, two lots of selected Jersey
COWS were used, whi6 were in good con-
ditlon, and running on pasture. The OBJ
1ect was TO determine if grain feeding
in summer was of advantage. AS many
as sixteen cows We're in the herd, they
being divided into two lots of eight each,
the division being made on the basis of
weight, length of time I'm milk, length of
time in calf, yield OF milk per day and
per cent. Of fat in milk.
From May % to Oct %. a period Of
twenty-five weeks, the cows were given
ample opportunity to secure the whole
of their food on the pasture, but in addi-
ton TO the green food one lot of cows re-
ceived, each day, four quarts Of mixed
food, consisting OF two parts cornmeal,
one part Of bran, and one part of cotton
seed meal, by weight, fed in two feeds,
night and morning. The other lot re-
ceived only the green food from the
pasture. This program was adhered TO
for three seasons from May % to Oct. %.
The first year, when the pasturage was
abundant, the granted lot gave much
less milk than the other lot, but the milk
from the granted lot was richer and
contained fully as much butter fat as
the milk from the cows which received
grass only, the butter production being
the same with both lots.
SOiling Is that system in which the
cows are confined and the green food
supplied them, instead of turning them
out on the pasture. In the two years
following the first experiment both pas
turing during a dry season and soiling
We're tested, one lot of cows receiving
the same ration of grain mentioned
above during both seasons. The result
was that the increased product of butter
was sufficient to pay for the grain, and
at a period when pasturage was not
plentiful the result was the same. In
all cases the increased product of but
ter simply paid for the grain. The larg-
est yield of milk was from the use of
pasturage alone, and as the milk is also
valuable as well as the butter, this Is an
important point in favor Of grass, and
especially as the grass-fed oaEvs gave
not only more milk, but fully as much
butter as the others. This leaves the
question open for discussion, the cost
of the land used as pasturasge being
factor for consideration.

THE FLY WHEEL BURST.
Part of an Electric Power House De-
strOyed and Several Injured.

NEW YORK, Oct 1.-THE electric
power house of the Atlantic-ave. railroad
of Brooklyn was completely wrecked
this evening by the bursting of the fly
wheel of the engine, which is situated in
the rear Of the engine building, and used
to drive the eight large dynamos which
supply the motive power for the COM
pany's system. The fy-wheel, which is
eighteen feet in diameter and carries a
forty-inch belt, was making 500 revolu-
tions minute when 1t burst into frag-
ments with a terrible report.
The entire roof and rear walls of the
building were carried away. One piece
weighing about two tons flew dis
lance of two blocks and struck the two
story frame building at 472 Carroll-st,
completely wrecking it. Mrs. Ann Kee-
gan, a tenant, was badly cut by flying
debris and also suffered from shock.

piece of the wheel weighing about a
ton flew over the four-story building of
John Miller and Henry Schrieber at 462
Carroll-st. 1t landed in the rear of the
house, ploughing up the earth.
The foundations of the house were
loosened and the windows smashed. The
candy sire of Mrs. Johanna Rober at 46S
Canal-st. was considerably damaged by
hying portions of the wheel. as was also
the coal office of Scraeder & Hoffman
at Third-st and Third-ave. John Cap

house, received severe cuts about the
head and face and was taken to the
hospital. Joseph de Loso, who resides
In he rear of 49S Carroll-st., was struck
by a fragment of the wheel and re-
ceived a fracture of the left arm. He
was taken to the hospital. The damage
sustained by the company on account Of
the wreck is estimated at $50, 900.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, Oct. 1O.-Marcus
Koenigheim. one Of the oldest. wealthiest
and most highly-respected Jewish citi-
zens Of San Antonio, was murdered and
robbed some time last night. his dead
body being found at 5 O'Clock this morn
ing with a bullet hole through the head
lying in the hall of his palatial residence.
There is a deep mystery surrounding the
crime. Mr.. Koenigheim has been for
many years one Of the most prominent
jewellers and pawnbrokers OF the city.
In the back part of the lower hall of his
residence he had a large iron safe which
was opened with a key. In this safe he
had large stock Of money and jewelry,

about 3 O'Clock last night, but none OF
them made an investigation. The body
was discovered by Mrs. Koenigheim at
daylight this morning. The safe was
open and rified Of all the money, jewelry
and valuables except a gold pair OF
bracelets, which were a heirloom of the
family. The burglar had entered by way
OF the dining-rocm window and pro-
ceeding upstairs had secured Mr..
Koenighelm's trousers, from the pocket
of which he took TIE key to the safe and
pocketbook containing a considerable
sum Of money. 1t is supposed that Mr..
Koenigheim heard the noise and made

with his death. It is believed that the
crime was committed by some ons
thoroughly familiar with the premises.
