Hot Water For Cows.

Hot water for cows" is the maxim
of the French dairy farmers in the de
partment of Finistere. They claim to
have proved by experiments that when
cows drink hot water they yield one
third more milk than when they are re-
freshed with cold water only. Caution
must, of course, be observed in adopting
the new system. Avaricious dairymen
must beware of scalding the Threats of
their cows in their haste TO avail them
selves of this discovery, which is vouch-
ed for by our consul at Brest The pro-
portions, we are told are half pail Of
boiling water and half pail of cold. =

SEEMS TO BE FLUSH.
Report that He Ia to Buy II Great
Southwestern stock Farm.

Wonder and curiosity over the sources
and amount of Richard Croker's wealth
have again been aroused by the an
nouncement from San Antonio this
morning that Mr.. Croker intended to
buy n big ranch in Texas.
The despatch says that Mr.. Croker de-
cided to make this addition to his landed
property after a visit to the stock farm
of Lottery King John A. Morris, near
San Antonio. He proposes, 1t Is said,
to purchase q ranch adjoining Mr.. Nor
ris's, and go into the business of horse
raising and training in the Southwest
on a more extensive scale than at pres
ent.
Stocking ranches and buying land
takes money, which would make 1t APP
pear, II the report from Texas Is cor
rect, that Mr.. ,Croker's bank account
was not SO depleted as he would have
people to believe when he put a $4,000
mortgage on his new house in this city
shortly before he went away.
1t is not long since Mr.. Croker paid a
quarter OF a million dollars for an inter
est in the Belle Meade Stock Farm. lie
paid nearly 100000 for his racehorses.
