WALTER GUY rnRNALD.
The Smooth Villains Checkered Caree
of Crime.

or Urine.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 28.--The Exam
liner this morning published history
Of the checkered life OF Walter Guy
Fernsld, who was arrested in Los An
geles few days ago, with Mrs. Kate
Garner and her son, Harry Earle, and
who is now behind the bars OF the city
prison. charged with having stolen the
jacobson trunk, containing $4,000
worth of diamonds. Some years ago
Feruald started Tor Europe with $4,000.
On the ship he fell in with William w.
Hurt, the notorious card sharp and con-
tidence man. Hurt, after winning the
young mans money, became his pre-
ceptor and partner, Fernald having
entire to a number of London clubs at
which he introduced Hurt, in consider
alton of which Fernald received half OF
Hurts winnings The two parted com
pany in few weeks. Fernald's share of
Hurts winnings amounted to 1000.
He then saw Europe, at length
finding himself in New York with
scarcely 500. He eloped with New
Bedford girl stole her jewelry and was
arrested but subsequently released on
threats to sue the girl for false imprison-
ment. Her father gave Fernald $4,000
hush money. His next escapade was to
win the affections of wealthy Chicago
widow, who gave him $4,000 with
which to develop a mythical mine in
Montana, as an inducement offering the
old lady his heart and hand. Some time
after this he met his old partner, Hurt,
in Kansas City, where the two found
few victims whom they plucked. Fer
nald returned to Chicago, and in less
than month was in Jail, charged with
forgery. A lawyer pulled him through,
however. Fernald followed Hurt to
San Francisco. Shortly after his arrival
here his Chicago lawyer wrote to the
San Francisco police exposing the
scheme FeInald intended working upon
the banks OF this city. Public attention
WAS next drawn to the young crook
when he was arrested and charged with
the robbery of the Jacobson diamonds,
on account of which he is now anguish
ing behind prison bars.

ASHLAND, Pa, Feb. 2S Five men are
tonight imprisoned in the Boston Run
mine at this place as the result of fall
of coal. There is every reason to be-
lieve the men will be released, and it is
known they are alive and probably un-
hurt. At the time of the accident there
were seven men at work in the mine.
Joseph and John Meekes, twin brothers,
Charles Mahon, Louis White. Edward
Mengel, James Cramer and William
Eraine. They were in one of the upper
lifte when a large fall of crop and sur
face coal took place, filling the
gangway and shutting it up COM
pletely, thus cutting off all means
soon as the accident was discovered.
Superintendent Venth and q squad Of
rescuere began the work OF extracting
the men IRON their perilous position.
At O'Clock they heard tapping, and a
few minutes later the sounds were
anewered by faint but cheerful cries
from the imprisoned miners. At 5
o'clock the rescuers came upon a
pocket, in which they found the
Meeke brothers safe and sound. From
them they learned the others were
about 80 yards further in the mine. At
5 D. m. working was still going on.
Shouts and calls from the imprisoned
men are plainly heard. If there should
be no further CAVERN, there is no reason
to doubt the rescuers will reach them
by 2 O'Clock in the morning.

Clipped and Condensed.

IF you are not getting the top prices
for stock, look around for the cause.
There is no good reason why one man
should not raise as good stock as
another.
SCARLET clover has failed on the
light soils of New Jersey, and it is
doubtful if it will fulfill all that has been
claimed for it, except on soils that are
well adapted to red clover.
IF the COWS be heated before milk
ing, when their udders are heavy from
the accumulated tactical fluid, it does
not do much good to cool the milk off
afterward, 80 far as repairing damage
wrought.
No farmer should be satisfied with
an " average" crop. The farm should
be made to produce more every year
than it did previously. The average
crop may cause loss, and slight gain
may be profit.
AT the Wisconsin experiment sta
ton, careful feeding trials showed that
whey was worth seven to eight cents a
hundred for mixing with cornmeal and
shorts for pigs when hogs bring the
prices they now command.
THE butter fat that is lost by careless
setting of milk in private diaries is
enormous. Paying ten per cent inter.
est on borrowed capital is nothing to it.
This is one of the leaks in dairying that
cuts down the net profits.
WHEN carrying the big milk can
down to the stable before the evening
milking it is likely to be hot enough to
feel blistering to the touch from stand
ing in the rays of the sun all dav. By
putting fresh milk into it in such con-
dition one simply invites it to spoil be-
fore morning.
THE Breeders Gazette says to those
purchasing sheep for forming paying
hocks: "Seek not for the biggest of
their kind, but for the wide-chested,
broad-ribbed, heavy-quartered, we'll
wooded quality sheep; showing good,
clear, rich skins and proper breeding
character-in brief, get finish combined
with substance, we'll developed car
cass, richly furnished with both flesh
and wool. Such sheep will help to
make the farm pay even in the hardest
times"
THE largest portion of the food con.
sumed goes into the manure, and it has
been.claimed that in every l, 900 bushels
of corn that is fed to animals as much
as 800 bushels is returned to the soil
through the manure heap. This claim
is perhaps broad one, but that the
manure heap receives much the larger
proportion is true, and the Importance
of carefully saving the manure cannot
be too strongly urged, as the real wealth
of the farm is in the manure heap, to
which all materials not appropriated for
some purpose eventually find their way.

Production Must Be Cheapened.

Prices tend downward everywhere,
and, unless financial and commercial
conditions change, there will be no rise
Immediately. There are only two
courses open, reduce the cost or
abandon production. Manufacturers
have adopted the first, farmers are in
clined to choose the last. Necessity
has compelled manufacturers and deal
ers to invent and utilize every possible
continuance and scheme for reducing
the cost Of their work. The result is
that the cost of production has de-
creased faster than prices, 80 there has
never been any change apparent Man
ufacturers agree that they have hardly
reached the lowest point in production
yet, though in some lines it is difficult
to see how cheaper processes can be
found. With farmers it is different.
They have hardly started cutting prices.
There are plenty of ways where cost
can be reduced, but they will suggest
themselves without long explanation.
An instance may be cited for the better
housing of tools. Leaving expensive
machinery in the fields through the
storms of winter is a practice which
might profitably be stopped, by western
farmers particularly. Faulty barn con-
struction, permitting the waste of liquid
manure, creating a necessity for the
purchase of enormous quantities of
commercial fertilizers, is another vast
leak. Others will come to mind with
out mentioning. More study of eco
nomical methods and a more careful
system of farm management would
mark the line between success and
failure for large number. Farmers
are compelled to pay too much to mid
dlemen for the transaction of business
farmers might do themselves. Wheat
raisers in the Dakotas pay thirty-two
per cent of the total amount received
for transportation and sale expenses.
This tax might be reduced by CO.
operation, and direct buying or selling
would save dollar or two on more
than one deal. But these things seem
too visionary for the average farmer.
He is afraid of cooperation and he
doesn't understand city wants and
needs enough so he dares buy and sell
direct. His only hope lies more in the
reduction of cost than the increase of
price at present. Rural Ne,o Yorker.

Sour Milk Bad for Pigs.

Sour milk is death to young pigs. 1t
is strange that many people have
handled pigs for years and never
learned that pigs stomach cannot di-
gest sour milk. And it is passing
strange with what stubbornness they in.
sist that sour milk is healthful food
for pigs. have known of instances
where employees Tilted with their orders
and fed sour milk on the sly, and
brought disaster on a whole herd of
pigs. Sour feed of any kind is fatal to
young pigs, whether fed to the dam or di-
rectly to the pigs. The dam should not
be fed sour feed for the last month pre-
ceding narrowing time. When pigs
have attained growth of sixty pounds,
they may be fed sour milk lightly. 1
have seen pigs of seventy-fve pounds
weight SO badly secured as to become
incurable. This, of course, applies to
pigs that have made rapid growth and
attained the above weight in a COM
paratively short period. Age may be
reckoned in the time to commence
feeding the sour milk, and it may be set
down at ten weeks.-D. 4. Kent, in
Rural Life.

The Skim.Milk Calf.

The, gentleman who says he can raise
as good calf on skim-milk as on full,
sweet milk had better pause and look
over his woody, hollow-eyed calf. Such
sayings are like thousands of others, not
founded on fact. If it were said that
fairly good calves can be raised on
skim-milk, then we would have the
truth. Any man who is competent
judge can distinguish calf fed on skim
milk from one fed on full milk as far as
he can distinguish calf from sheep.
That bright, smooth cast of hair, that
sprightliness which marks the differ
ence between the activity of the calf
and the old COW, that lustrous eye and
mellow touch which characterizes the
calf fed on full milk, is wanting in the
skim calf. The skim-milk calf
wears forlorn look. He is melan-
choly calf, which seems to say: have
been robbed" In the days of the
stone jar churn it was common saying
of the skim-milk calf that he had been
knocked in the head with the churn
dasher. To keep pace with the times,
we should transform the adage and say
that the skim-milk calf is drowned in
the separator.-Rural Life.

Washing Sheep.

1t is time now that humanity should
lift its voice in thunder tones against
the barbarous practice of washing sheep,
for it is certainly cruel to drive sheep
several miles on hot day and plunge
them into a stream and then return
carrying heavy load of wet wool on
their backs. The proper value of wool
can well be determined without the So
called wash, and it would seem even
more easy to give proper estimate of
its value, for the writer has seen wool
in worse condition after the ablution
than before. If the practice was aban-
doned, sheep could be shorn as soon as
the weather would permit and do away
with the discomfort to the sheep carry
ing their tieeces until dry enough to be
shorn. Sheep will do much better with
fleece off in hot weather.-R. o. Lo.

Growing Cows to Sell.

There is increasing demand for good
cows. The habit of farmers in allow
ing milkmen to make selection from
their herd, and then Offset the deprecia-
ton of their herd by charging a high
price for it, has deservedly gone out of
fashion. We are glad it has, and yet
we think the business of growing and
developing young heifers into milch
cows is profitable one if properly con-
Quoted The trouble under the old sys-
tenn was that the farmer possibly had
only one or two really good cows.
When these were sold he was left with
lot of scrubs that could not possibly
give him any profit. The farmer ought
not to keep any such cows. If he has
a herd that are all good mixers and all
paying their way, he can grow heifer
calves to the age of three or four years,
develop their milking, capacities, and
sell them at profit. A heifer that has
her first calf at two years old should
give enough the first and second years
to pay her way from calfhood until she
is four years old. Then the farmer can
judge whether he had better keep her
longer or sell for what he regards as a
fair price. -EGchange.
