No Proof of Death.

A curious action arising out OF a
remarkable accident at the Mulhausen
Chemical Works is about to occupy
the German courts. Conrad Wuchner
entered the works with lantern at
5. 80 a. M, and that an explosion oc-
Cured almost Immediately, followed
by the bursting of the acid tanks.
Nothing has since been seen of the
man, not even shred of his clothing
or fragment of his body. Wuchner's
life was insured, and the widow claims
the amount of the policy, but the COM
pany declines to pay on the ground
that there is no proof of death.
The chemical analysis in the flooded
works after the explosion occurred re-
vealed traces of animal matter, such as
dissolving bone, but the insurance
company declines to accept such a
novel proof of death because, among
other things, the analysist cannot
swear that the liquefied bone was the
bone of human being. The un-
happy widow was not compelled to pay
the expenses of the funeral, but in
every other respect she is most hard
ly-used woman, and there is much
public sympathy for her, which is
taking the form of subscriptions to
help her fight the insurance company.

FROM GRAIN TO DAIRYING,

Many farmers about this time are
considering the question as to whether
it would not pay them more to give
up grain growing and go into the
dairy business. The Improbable sea-
son for nearly all kinds of grains will
discourage many from depending upon
the cereals for living, and dairying
seems to be an easy adjunct to their
farms, which can be easily developed.
This is in a sense true. From grain
to dairying is simple step if it Is
done gradually. But. lila, all other
changes in business life, a sudden and
half-considered change is dangerous.
If the location of the farm is such
as to make good dairy market easily
accessible, there may be profit in
developing the dairy interests. To
give up grain-growing entirely and
suddenly is poor policy. From ali

RINGS ON THE HORN.

The first ring on II COWS horn begins
to appear when she is two years old,
and is clearly defined at three. There
is one ring added for every subsequent
year. To tell her age add two to the
number of rings on her horns. The
first ring on bulls horns appears
when he is five years old, SO five must
be added to the number of his rings
to find his age. The rule is tolerably
reliable, but cautious buyer never
purchases COW without also inspect
her from all points, as dishonest deal
ers have been known to file off two or
three rings from the horns thus max
ing the beast misrepresent her own
age. Chicago Times.

A. b. Woakes has invented an "elec-
trio horn," says London INVENTOR
with which he has recently carried
out series of experiments, to take
the place of electric bells or gongs,
etc., where an alternating current OF
electricity is available. The appara-
tus is based upon the principle OF the
telephone receiver, and consists, IN
it's simplest form, of disc OF shee'
iron placed in front OF one OF the
poles of an electromagnetic, the coll OF
the latter being arranged to take an
alternating current of 100 volts.
The method of working is as 1ol-
lows: When the current is switched
on the reversals of magnetism pro-
duced in the iron core by the current
causes corresponding number OF VI
brations in the disc. Thus, If cur
rent with 200 alterations per second
is employed, the disc gives zoo com
plete vibrations per second, and pro-
duces note corresponding in pitch
with the number OF vibrations. With

MODEL DAIRY COW.

A model dairy COW should possess
the following characteristics very
strongly:
/. In general outline she should be
rather fine in the head, neck and crops,
wide in the chest, large i'll the barrel
and largely developed in the hind
quarters.
II. The triple wedge shaped forma
ton is considered essential in dairy
animal. 1t implies:
Increasing width from the wethers
downward, increasing width towards
the rear parts and decreasing width
from top of the hind quarters down
ward.
The head is medium to fine, longer
and more dished and tapering some
what more than in the beefing breeds.
The neck should be fine, fairly long
and tapering and the throat clean.
The body should be capacious, broad
and deep and medium in length.
The udder should be long, broad,
deep, extending we'll forward and well
up behind, and rather evenly quar-
tered.
The milk vein should be large and
tortuous, abundant on the udder, and
the orifices large where they enter the
body.
The escutcheon should be well de-
veloped from the perineum to the nd
der and should extend well outward
at the thighs.
The legs should be medium to short,
with bone of medium size.
The skin should be medium to fine,
elastic and mellow, hair plentiful and
soft and the skin rich yellow color.
These are the principal points, and
are given here in the hope that they
may be of service to any who may
contemplate buying diary COWS. "A.

A Grand Duchess Coffee.

The Grand Duchess of Baden has
the reputation of knowing enough
about cookery to keep her three chefs
up to the mark, and as a consequence
the best of all the royal tables of Eu-
rope is said to be found at the Court Of
Baden. The Grand Duchess makes
the coffee herself in Russian coffee
pot, and the guests are always expected
to praise it.

Pigeons for Postal Service.

A flock of pigeons which always can
be seen around the general postoffice
in London and roost under the porti-
Goes of the building have given rise to
a popular impression that they are
used in the postal service. But it is
not true. There have been experiments
with carrier pigions by the British
postal authorities, and there is regu-
lar bureau for such service in Berlin,
but they have proved impracticable in
London except for military purposes
and their use is confined to the army.

present Indications grains will be mucn
higher next year than this. There
will be less acreage devoted to the
grains, and there will probably be
money in the cereal crops by another
winter. This, however, is merely
matter of conjecture at present, but
the chances are probably better than
in the dairy business for the farmer
who has only had limited experience
in this latter calling.
Every grain farm should have
dairy attached to it, for there are
many screenings and wastes on such
farm that could be fed either to COWS
or pigs A few animals should be kept
to save these waste products. Ii SUCH
stock is not kept it will pay to buy
some. The number should bo in-
creased gradually, and only as fast as
facilities for handling them are or
ranged. One of tho worst features
of new dairy farm is to have more
stock than can be handled carefully
and economically. There is absolute
loss in the dairy business when the
amount of stock exceeds the facilities
for economic handling.
1t is possible for every grain grow
er to shift gradually from grain to
dairying, and his chances of losing IN
the operation will bo reduced to
minimum. The danger comes from
too hasty and ill considered changes.
There are many reasons why it is
sometimes necessary for farmer to
change from grain growing to dairy
ing. In parts of the country where
grain growing once paid well it is
now losing business owing to
changed surroundings. 1t is often
wise in such localities to mako the
change to dairying before oil the
money is lost in trying to make grains
pay. Agriculture like every other
business is apt to change, so that one
industry is crowded out of existence
by the unexpected development from
another quarter. 1t is only wisdom
and foresight to study such changes.
and to adapt the farm life to the now
surroundings. The best advice that
can be given is: Not to be afraid of
changing, but make the change slow
and gradual after considering the
question carefully on all sides. -Bos-
ton Cultivator.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Shake the deciduous and evergreen
shrubs after each heavy snowfall.
Everybody seems to be saying a
good word for the bush lima bean.
Save all the poultry droppings and
mix with the other fertilizers at the
time of using.
Don't forget that being land poor
is one of the worse predicamonts far
mer can get in.
A gill of carbolic acid added to a
bucket of whitewash will kill the ver-
min in a honhouse.
If your chickens combs are FROST
bitten, glycerine will restore them to
their natural condition.
1t will be an easy matter for the
sheep to keep warm if they have some
covering, SO that they may always be
dry.
The best farmers are those who are
able to discriminate and to determine
which is the best paying crop for their
farms
Tako caro- of the good colts az there
is every prospect of good demand for
them at high prices by the time they
mature.
If you will warm your hands slightly
these cold days before milking, the
COW will greatly appreciate the trouble
you have gone to.
An important point to observe in
the feeding of all young stock is to
give sufficient to keep up the best
thrift and growth.
The feet and legs of horses are at
tracing more attention among breed
ers than formerly, as all breeds have
good and bad feet and legs.
Young blood leads the way to profit
with poultry, rs with other stock. 1t
will be money in your pocket to kill
off every hen over three years old.
With ordinary farm or stable
manure it will generally pay to use
some potash for corn; 125 to $50
pounds of muriate OF potash has given
profitable results.
To keep horse from rolling in
