White speck. 4. an,ts-

A Wisconsin dairyman writes that a
frequent cause Of white specks in but

it does not all churn out, but many of
them can be got rid of in working the
butter, especially If it is worked a Sec
ond time. The second working NAV

after the first. Another cause of white
specks is too much milk being
skinned in with the cream. This milk
settles to the bottom, and If it is kept
too long and gets too sour from a hard
curd, which is broken up in churnine
and produces the specs. These, being
heavier than the butter, are washed

About Dehorninr.

In dehorning cows there are two or
three things to be remembered. First
ly, 1t does not pay to dehorn an old
COW, as her horns are not apt to heal
readily. Secondly, care must be taken
not to excite the animal, as overhead
Ing sometimes makes the operation
fatal. And. thirdly, cow should not
be dehorned very soon before she is
due to calve. This is probably tho
most important Of those three things
to be remembered. Abortion is often
caused by a disregard Of this and the
loss Of both cow and calf is OCCASION
ally the result.
Cows that are expected to calve in
the spring should be dehorned in the
fall, as soon as danger from flies is
over with. Fall is, without doubt, the
best time for dehorning. The danger
from cold l think would be much less
than from heat and flies. Last fall
was an exceptionally good season.
The middle Of December would be too
late usually, but it was as late as that
when l dehorned, and with the cx-
ception Of my oldest cow, they all
healed very rapidly. 1t was so hot In
the stables this spring that we tried
milking part of the cows out of doors.
They punched themselves together,
where they could get the benefit Of
more tails than their own and were
very quiet. The weaker ones did not
jump and run whenever a stronger
COW looked at them, as formerly. And
the older cows, robbed Of their instru-
ments Of torture, would stand quietly
chewing their cuds all through the
milking.
was told the other day that 1t hurt
the sale of Michigan COW in the
Eastern markets to be dehorned.
Michigan cows have always sold high
there, and when they are dehorned
they are suspected Of having come
from the western ranges, instead Of
from this state.-Charles X. Farley.

training, especially lions, it is better
policy to be kind. Directly you intro
duce the whip or stick, good-by to
teaching tricks. Marco has been In
training over two years. But here
comes Clyto, who has been with me
five years, and who will presently
wrestle with the lion."
Then there approached a good look
ing young man, % years of age, clad
in smart tunic, the left breast Of
which was decorated with three or
four medals-one especially attracted
my attention, as on the reverse side
it bore the inscription that it was the
gift of w. E. Gladstone. BY and by
lie retired to put on his wrestling suit,
which, l noticed as lie entered the
cage, bore in its raggedness unmis-
taxable evidence of the severe con-
tests he had had with the lion.
Before Clyto was within yard or
two of the cage, the lion appeared
to scent him, was up and alert, and
began to purr round Clyto's legs, as
would q pet cat, OH his entering the
cage. "Up," said Clyto, and the lion
placed Il paw over each of his shOul-
ders, with his head dangerously near
his keepers face. Then the struggle
began. a twist or two, and Clyto
had thrown, by buttOck twist, the
lion on his back on the floor of the
den with thud. A piece of meat
was then the reward of the vanquish-
ell. Again there was a prolonged
struggle, and this time the lion had
thrown Clyto, and was on top of him.
Clyto lay for a moment quite still,
with the heavy weight of the beast
upon him. Then he began to wriggle
quietly, with the intent evidently to
get from under his load. At last he
got free, and was up in q trice and
leaned against the bars, painting for
breath. The next feat was getting
the lion to sit on a chair; when
there, Clyto, retired to the other
side Of the cage, and placed a piece Of
meat In his mouth. Then, with a
jump, the lion sprang on his keeper
and took the beefsteak from his
mouth, but Clyto had the breath
knocked out OF him by the heavy
impact Of the beast. Clyto's next be-
gan to sweep out the cage. but he
seemed to care little whether he kept
his face to his charge or not. While
this was being done the lion proceed
ed to play with the chair as. a cat
would with a reel of cotton. Evident
ly the show was nearly over; but, be-
fore the keeper left, the lion had got
cheeky and made rather a nasty
charge, and began to wrestle, and SO
ardently that Clyto exclaimed:
"Come, come! that's enough! This Is a
bit too rough. Give over, will your
A short struggle then ensued, and
Clyto's head appeared likely to be
bitten off; but Clyto succeeded in
throwing the lion off and then dealt
him backhander on the face, by
way Of admonition to better manners.
The keeper then deftly slipped out.
1t was splendid show.
"ls there much danger, Mr.. Cross?'
I asked.
Il think the lion has been too well
trained. However, what risk there is
seems to be appreciated, for l have
noticed that some people come to ev-
cry show, perhaps on the principle
that actuated the conduct Of those
who never missed seeing Van Am
burgh Of old place his head in the

THE GREATEST KILLING.
Nine Men Shot to Death In O
Night by n Gambler.

Nine Men Shot to Death In One
Night by u Gambler.
In the way of prompt and deadly
shooting nothing In all the red calen-
dar of homicide in the far West beats
the record Of the gambler, Riley, at
Newton, Kan, made one night in 1871.
The Santa Fe railroad had been built
to that point during the year, and q
fourishing town had grown up around
the terminus to which the Texas cattle
drives that had been going to Abilene
were turned. One night the Texas cat
tie drives were in for shipment, and
the cowboys were celebrating. Some
of the Texans had a grudge against
the officers of the town, and so they
came in prepared for trouble and they
set about making it straightway. They
killed the city marshal, the deputy
marshal and another man early In the
evening. Later they poured into Pink
hams dance hall to the number of
twenty-five or thirty.
Their first break was to assassinate
a harmless citizen. Riley was in the
dance hall and the man just killed
was a particular friend of his. With
out a word Riley stepped back to the
| big double doors in front of the saloon
and closed them. Placing his back
against the doors he drew a pair Of re-
volvers and fell to shooting, one man
against the crowd. Men tumbled left
and right, and shots rang out all over
the room In response to the cracking
Of Riley's pistols. Shots perforated
and splintered the door all about him,
but he stood there firing until his pis-
tolls were emptied. Then leaping over
the counter he caught up a revolver
that lay on shelf beneath and kept
on with the firing. Before he had
emptied the pistol that he found be-
hind the bar the men inside had forced
the front doors open. Those that could
rushed out and Riley shot his last man
in the middle of the street.
| When it came to counting up losses
it was discovered that there were thir-
teen dead men in the town, due to that
nights shooting, of whom nine cow
boys had fallen by Riley's hand. A
doctor hastily summoned to the scene
came to the side of a cowboy who was
dying. "How is 1t, Doc?" asked the
wounded man. cam going to pull
through?" The doctor shook his head
and said, "l'm sorry, my poor fellow,
but cannot give you any hope
How about the man who shot me-
said the cowboy, ''is he dead?' "No,''
answered the doctor, "he was not even
wounded" II know better than that, y
said the cowboy. II know he was hit
l was right by the side of him when
he shot me, and before fell fired
and hit him under the arm. You ex.
anime him, and you'll find that he's
wounded there" When the doctor got
round to Riley he examined him and
found that he had received a flesl
wound under his arm which in the ex
element Of fighting he had not no
ticed. Riley left the town after the
inquest and didn't appear there again

Summer M.nurlnx Of Pastures.

summer Manuring of Pastures.
Good barnyard manure applied right
after the meadows and pastures are
mown In the summer give very bene-
hcial results 1t can be hauled out
from the yards and stables in August
or September, and spread over the
stubble. The earlier after the mead
ows are mown the better, and where
they are cut in early July the work
can be done prof1tably then. Thin
pastures will also be greatly improved
by a midsummer manuring, and
where the grass has been very thin at
cutting 1t is an easy matter then to
apply the manure where most needed.
BY following this method up SYSTEM
atically patchy meadow land can be
made even and regular. SO believes
the American Cultivator.
Even strawy manure that has not
been entirely composted will give good
results. The straw protects the roots
of the grass from the hot sun, and
helps to retain the moisture in the
soil after each shower. About ten
good loads Of manure to the acre ap-
piled several years In succession will
make such difference in the yield
that one would be surprised.
Manure applied in the fall, and then
narrowed over lightly, will tend to
make new grass seeds sprout at once,
and on the whole the pastures seem
to be benefited by this narrowing, es-
pecially If a rain follows right after
1t. By applying the manure In this
way late in the summer it does not in
terfere with the next seasons crop Of
hay, but rather tends to increase it's
yield. OF course, it keeps the cattle
of the pasture for time, and this
certainly should be done for a few
weeks In midsummer anyway. Pas
turing stock on the meadows right
after moving, when the soil ia dry
and the sun very hot, Is the surest
way to run out good piece of grass
land. After moving the land 1t needs
a rest, and little stimulating then
will help matters great deal.
By handling our hay fields in this
way we can crop them more years in
succession than If we neglect them
