STALLS FOR DAIRY COWS.
An Excellent and Tested Arrangement
for Comfort and Cleanliness.

An Excellent and Tested Arrangements
for Comfort and Cleanliness
The dairy world has for ages been
experimenting upon hundreds OF de-
vices which might 10 some manner add
comfort to the COW and at the same
time keep her absolutely clean in her
stall. Just how successful dairymen
have been in accomplishing this diff
cult feat is only proven by personal in
spection of their cattle. In few in
stances have they been able to get the
construction of their stables perfect SO
that their cattle show it from their APP
pearance 1t is exceedingly difficult,
indeed, to strengthen one weak point
without destroying the perfection of
another, and the only way to get any
thing that will prove satisfactory is by
experience.
No dairyman of experience will deny
that COW allowed to besmirch herself
with her own droppings can do justice
to her owner, through the pail. l have
seen stables where the owners were
using every plan and device that they
could practically get on to, to prevent
the cows from becoming unclean, yet
in spite of plenty of bedding, stan
chions, deep and shallow bitches, and all
manner of complicated managers, etc.
the cows were sights" looking more
like compost heaps, from their rear
than a herd of sleek, profitable kline
BY no means have ! always been Sc
successful as to boast at getting de-
sired results until more recent years
At every opportunity afforded have
examined COW stables and as often got
some good ideas from such observa-
tons, until finally have, l think, full
ly accomplished the feat of construct
ing a stable in which the COW is under
perfect control and is compelled to
stand so that her droppings must fall
directly into the ditch. She is made to
occupy that particular position and
cannot move any further forward; but
can of course move backward into the
ditch or even across it, if SO desired, by
making the tie-chain sufficiently slack.
The device can be best explained by the
accompanying illustration, which fully
demonstrates the plan of construction
The ideas are not all my own, but a
combination of practical ideas procured
from others and so combined as to make
very satisfactory and complete ar

EARNS for the Million.

The marvellous development of the States
of Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa, Ne
braska and Wyoming, within the last few
wears has attracted attention in all parts OF
the world. 1t is not necessary, however, to
search far for the causes of this wonderful
growth, for this entire region, which is
penetrated by The North Western Line,
teens with golden opportunities for enter
prising farmers, mechanics and Iaborers
who desire to better their condition. Here
are lands which combine all varieties
of soil climate and physical feature that
render them most desirable for agriculture
or commerce. Rich rolling prairies, ca
pable of raising the finest quality OF farm
products in luxurious abundance, can still
be secured at low prices and upon most lib
eral terms, and in many cases good pro
ductive farms can be purchased for scarcely
more than the yearly rental many eastern
farmers are compelled to pay. Reaching
the principal cities and towns and the
richest and most productive farming dis

THE simplicity of the special method of
treating chronic diseases as practiced by
Drs. Beekman & Pixley of 81 West 122nd
street, New York City, is the feature first
impressed upon the reader; and as
their plan is more fully investigated the
stronger becomes this impression. This is
owing to its exceeding clearness and thor
oughness of detail, and renders its operation
practically without limit. BY means Of their
individual statement and verihcation blanks
every phase of the disease and every point
bearing upon the constitutional peculiarities
of the patient are brought out in the most
comprehensive form. With the case thus
before them it is the subject of careful study
and joint consideration, and logical, &C
curate diagnosis, with a successful treat
ment is the result.
A sufferer from any chronic ailment in
volving waste of tissue, such as Tubercu-
losis, Bronchitis, Rheumatism or Bright's
Disease, may thus by correspondence avail
himself of the many years special and prac-
teal experience of Drs. Beekman & Pixley
however distant may be his home.
Attention is called to the article on this
subject in last weeks issue and to the op-
portunity of more infinitely examining their
method by sending for their Individual

lJOHN BOlLS HIS BEER.
Singular Practice of the Chinese Residents

Singular Practice of the Chinese Residents
in Respectto Their Drinks.
4 Clark street Chinaman walked into
Q saloon the other day, carrying a
saucepan. He laid it down in front of
The bartender and called for five cents
worth of beer. The mixer of drinks
Tazed at the queer utensil a moment
Then he said:
Hello, Chink! What do you get
your beer in saucepan for?'
Boil him." replied the Chinaman,
laconieally. Then he closed one eye
and remarked: "Velly good way. No
make cold. Taste good"
Boiling their beer is common prac-
tice among the denizens of Chinatown.
They purchase it in saucepans and
bring it home still foaming to be
placed on the fire while fresh. They
claim it is the only proper way to
drink it; that the method ordinarily in
use OF taking it into the system in its
cold state is very injurious, being pro
vocative of dyspepsia and other all
ments while the boiled article has no
injurious effect and is just as salts
factory as drink.
The Chinese are not the only people
whoboil or heat beer. In Germany

and is made of grated black bread,
sugar and lager. 1t is served hot be-

Many Americans are already &C
quainted with 'mulled beer" which il

.,.H:ers of the Paris Cab.

an hour later he was taken out dead
and post mOrtem examinations at the

The joints of these apparatuses were
mostly composed of glazed earthenware,
which under the influence of the heat,
soon cracked and allowed the carbOnic

HONORs TO KOSsUTH.
The Patriots Body Laid at Rest In Hum

BUDA-PEsTH, April An immense
crowd of people from all parts of Hungary
came to attend Eossuth's obsequies. The
great center of attraction for the people
was the National museum, in which the
body of kossuth was lying in state 1t is
estimated that at least 10000 persons of
all classes entered the museum and walked
past the catafalque. The procession was

stiffness being an occasional sob from some
woman.
Several impressive incidents marked the
day. One was the visit of n large number
of maidens from Transylvaina clad wholly
in white, who deposited many wreaths on
the coffin, which was already almost hid
den from view by the floral offerings piled
upon and about it. The visit of the veteran
Honved hussars also attracted much at
tention.
Five thousand inhabitants o: CZegled
walked in body the long distance from
there to BudaPesth in order to pay their
last token of respect and love to the great
Hungarian.

GAM MYSTERY DEEPENS.
Two Bodies Have Been Identified as That
of the Murdered Man.

WOODBURY., n. j.. April "A body
found in the Delaware ON Sunday has
been identified as that of Charles GAM of
Swedesboro. According to the county
records, however the body of Charles
CAM was found in a creek a few weeks
ago and was buried by his relatives. The
coroners inquest at that time disclosed
the fact that murder had been committed.
and two men who were last seen with
GAM are now awaiting triaFlHharged with
the crime. The finding of the second body
makes the case Il very mysterious one, for
everything seems to show that the first
body was not that of CAM and it presents
Chinese puzzle to the police as to what
hand the two men now under arrest had in
the death of either.
GAM was last seen alive on the night of
Jan. IL. On that night he was drinking
in a hotel Two men We're with him. They
were Patrick kerwin and d. p. Arm
strong. The trio became involved in u
fight, in which it was GAM against the
other two. Shortly after the fight GAM
left the hotel and started down the road.
Ten minutes latr kerwin and Arm
strong left the barroom and also went
down the road in the same direction GAM
had taken. This was the last seen of
GAM.
On March II two boys found body in Il
little creek. The body waS-taken to Cam
den and was identified By brother of
Charles CAM as that of his brother. The
county physicians made an autopsy and
announced that the man had been muir
dered. The neck was broken. There were
many bruises and it was shown that life
had been extinct before the body had
reached the water. Mrs. GAM. the wife
of the missing man, said the body was
not that of her husband. She said the
clothes We're different than those he had
worn. CAMS mother was also doubtful.
The brother then made a close eXamina
tion and found on his body three marks
When these were shown to the two wom-
en-, they admitted that the body was the
one they sought.
The theory of the authorities was that
the murderers had changed CAMS clothes
and removed every means of Identification.
kerwin and Armstrong We're taken into
custody, and their trial was set for the
next term of court. The body found yes
terday was floating on the river surface.
In the pockets of the clothing We're the ar
ticles CAM had on his person when he was
last seen. His watch was there. as we'll
as a number of papers. a knife and other
things. The clothing was the same as that
worn by GAM when he left home on the
18th of January. So far rs the eXamina-
ton has gone drowning was the apparent
cause of death. Whose body it was the
