The Verdict In the Petersen Case Rendered
Last Night.
Yesterday afternoon in Judge Miller's court
when THE SrAB's report closed in the case Of
Alexander Petersen. colored, charged with
keeping an unlicensed bar at No. 723 Sd street
southwest, as published in yesterdays STAR, the
defendant was on the stand telling how he con-
ductedbusiness. 1t was admitted that liquor
had been furnished in the place merely for the
accommodation of customers. The liquor, beer
and whisky were always sent for and bought
from neishboring saloon at 20 profit to Mr..
Petersen.
The trial had lasted two days and counsel
lington and West Steever presented the de-
PENDANTS side of the case, and Mr.. Pugh for
the District made an able argument in which
he reviewed the testimony and referred TO the
legal questions involved. He argued that the
defendant had no right to supply beer or
whisky in the manner stated.
In his charge to the jury Judge Miller sus-
tanned the claim made by Mr.. Pugh. The Judge
told the jury that making business Of furnish
ing liquors, even not at profit, was violation
of law.
FOUND GUILTY.
The case was given to the jury and IL was
soon evident that there would be no early YER
dict The jury was called into court and ques-
toned, and the foreman stated that one man
was hanging the jury.
Judge Miller said there was no reason why
verdict could not be reached and sent them
back telling them they would have to remain
locked up all night unless they reached q con-
clusion before 10 O'Clock, in which event they
could telephone for him.
The jury then retired, and they did not have
the most comfortable quarters in the city.
Then, too, the weather was warm and at 8
o o'clock the twelfth man came to the conclusion
at which his companions had arrived several
hours before.
Judge Miller responded to their call and q
verdict Of guilty was received.

FEEDING HEIFERS.
The Need of a More Scientific Treatment
of Young Dairy Stock.

The first year of the dairy COW is the
most critical of all her life. Immature,
because not more than half grown, she
has had to give life to her calf, she is
now called upon to give milk for her
owner, and within a few months she
will again have to furnish life and sus-
tenance for her second calf. So she
has nearly a constant threefold demand
upon her energies, and unless the ut
most skill is taken the usefulness of
the coming COW will be injured by care
less and ignorant methods OF feeding
and care. This young heifer should
receive. not Only great abundance of
food, but that which is succulent and
easily digested, and the greatest care
should be taken to develop the man.
mary gland. That is, her food should
be so regulated that it would not only
sustain her and produce material for
the growth of herself and the embryo
calf, but there should be a surplus re-
suit of the food consumed; the milk
and butter product is the result of this
surplus. We want to so breed and feed
calves for the dairy that they will
make cows that will put this surplus
feed into the milk pail and nowhere
else.

wagons in use because the load can be

vantage of leaving the load in heap

A wagon box that will discharge its
load without shoveling, and spread 1t
as far as desired, can be made very
easily and at little expense. Two
planks eight inches wide and as long as
the box desired are placed on edge,
aud end pieces of the same material
fitted to them and held in place by cor
ners of heavy sheet iron drilled and
bolted on. (See illustration The
middle cross pieces that suspend the
bottom are mortised up into the lower
edge of the body and the bottom is put
on below them. If very long body be
wanted, though seldom anecessity with
stone or gravel, the reach must be
heightened. The ends of this box
must not project far beyond the bolster

of three planls, the middle one over

so as to drop, and the middle lengths
are bolted to strong hinges that in turn
are also bOlted to this center plank.
They are short enough to drop and
swing between the holsters, and are
free of the reach.
After the load is on, one or both of
the hinged bottom planks can be freed
suddenly, or by degrees, spreading the
gravel long distance in the wheel
ruts. If the gravel is needed in one
ridge upon the center of the road, the
hinges must be bOlted to the sides of

attached to each end and to a plain

the sides. The top of the sides must
be bound with strap iron, at least as
far as the chains bear upon it. A hook
riveted to this top iron slips iuto hole
in the shaft of the crank, acting as a
brake in preventing the unwinding of
the chain and spilling of the load in

Poultry in the Barn.

The barn should not be used as a
poultry house. The farmer who will
not provide place for his hens is sure
to have filthy barn, as the hens will
roost on the rafters, on the troughs OF
wherever it is most convenient. Itmay
be mentioned, also, that lice will thrive
in barn as well as elsewhere, and
they multiply very rapidly under the
conditions afforded by barn or stable.
Even during the winter the warmth Of
the stable will be sufficient for their
propagation. The work of clearing a
barn or stable of lice would discourage
even the most Industrious Farm and
Fireside.
