A Model Holiday Number.

A distinctive feature of the Christ
mas Horse Review for 1896, just re-
ceived from the publishers, the
Horse Review Co., Chicago, is that
each of the four supplements is an
exact likeness of one of the notable
.campaigners of 1896. The subjects
are Kentucky Union 2:07H, the
fastest new 2:10 trotter; Ottinger
2:09M, the years champion trotter
of the Pacific Coast; Page 2:0924, the
fastest new 2:30 trotter of the year,
and Badge 2:0714, the famous Min
nesota PAGER. The literary features
are too numerous to mention and
the statistics cannot fail to interest
every horseman. There is, in short,
something on every page that is
worth reading, and the number,
viewed from any standpoint, is
easily the greatest ever issued by a
turf journal.-Our "Trotwood,n as
usual, is given the post of honor.

Milk allowed at all to cool between
milking and setting will not yield
up all its butter fat; neither will
milk disturbed in anyway after
the cream begins to rise.
The question of large or small
cows in the dairy is being narrowed
down into a small compass, and
there are but few who still claim
that COW for the dairy is valuable
in proportion to her weight.
Only the minority of farmers
wives make an excellent quality of
butter. Often it would do good to
take package of ones product to
an expert faster and ask his opinion
of it. He would tell instantly If any
thing was the matter, and Instruct
how to avoid such errors in the flu
ture.
Premium butter is now made at
any season of the year, the secret of
success lying in fresh COWS, good
food and the skill of the maker.
Winter butter has really the advan-
tage over summer butter, possessing
all its good qualities, beside keeping
its form better.
The practice of selling butter from
the farm in rolls is not "a good one.
If in rolls, the buyer at. the store
should carefully grade it and wrap
in clean butter cloths; he should
then put into boxes of some sort and
cover at once. Susceptible as it is
to odors, the country store is not an
ideal packing room.
| Although not reaching so large a
class, dairy schools are of much
more benefit as an educational factor
than the institute, because they go
further in illustrating theory and
practice. No other branch of agri-
culture gives better promise than in
telligent and scientific dairying,
and our young men and women
should slight no opportunity to avail
themselves of Them.

HOrticuIturu.

In most gardens cultivation ceases
about the 1st of July, and after that
the vegetables which remain have
to struggle with the weeds for pos
session, though this is neither profit
able nor pleasing. A garden which
is clean and free from weeds at the
approach of winter is satisfactory
testimony of good gardener.
Remember that when we grow and
harvest a grass or a grain crop from
the orchard we are demanding two
crops from the soil. 1t will require
high manuring to maintain a. degree
of fertility which will make either
crop profitable.
1t is claimed that a pair of old
birds with a nest of young, will in
the process of a single days feeding,
destroy nearly 1000 insects. Null
tiply this by the great number OF
insectiverous birds in our fields and
forests, and we can get an approx.
mate idea of the helpful protection
afforded our agricultural interests.
From the fact that tobacco stems
contain a no small per cent. of nitro
gen, phosphoric acid and phosphor-
Gus, they make an excellent plant
food, especially for garden and fruit
crops. Their price is but nominal
1t is good plan to mix and com.
post them with horse manure.
Many flying insects have their
uses, and we can not but become
convinced that the honey bee is in
dispensable in fruit growing, and
that every fruit grower should keer
several colonies of bees in his or
chards expressly to polonize his
fruit.
II stakes for cane fruits or grapes
are expensive, place posts some dis
tance apart aud run two or three
wires lengthwise of the row. This
will not only be as satisfactory as a
stake at each hill, but will lend a
tidy appearance to the whole field
neither will need for repairing come
so frequently.

Agriculture,

Humid weather, followed by low
temperature, will render the germi-
mating power of many grains very
uncertain. 1t is not good plan to
leave the seed corn in the crib dur
ing the winter.
Dealers like to handle goods which
show some care on. the part of the
shipper. Even In sending potatoes
to market do not mix varieties, and
sort as evenly to one size as possible.
If one goes into farming to stay,
good live stock should be an adjunct
to the grain farm. Exclusive grain
farming may pay well for few
years, but in the end the steady de-
pletion ofthe soil will cause a col
lapse.
1fthe crop which absorbed the
plant food Is sold away from the
farm 1t will be found a pretty ex-
pensive thing to keep the fertility.
1t is estimated that a ton of hay takes
IS times az much fertility as ton Of
butter. While the one will sell for
$40, the other will bring $500, per-
haps. mI D
A dairy .,farm growing poorer is
striking proof of the incompetency
of.the farmer. OF course, 1t would
grow poorer If the grass, product was
sold, but if fed to dairy it must
grow richer unless the grossest care
lessness is observed.
Would it not be we'll torhave lit
tie more cooperation in our expert
ment' stations? Nothing is firmly
established by single experiment,
and repetitions take time. If diff
ferent states would pursue the sub
ject, and comparison of results be
made, something of prompt and de-
finite value would result. Different
ATTITUDES, would, of course, take diff.
ferent lines of study.
Itpays' just as well to fertilize
grass as it does to fertilize grain. Put
some of the surplus manure on the
meadows, hauling out and spreading
evenly through the fall ana winter
If this is neglected, do not wonder
at the poor crops, and conclude that
there is no profit in grass.
Good farming is very often thrown
away on land which is too wet tC
produce good crops. Rather than

whole, put part of it in good condi.
tion by undertaking. The expense
is the hindrance, but it can be &C
complished little by > little, if need
be, until the unproductive acres viii
produce enough to cover annual cost
of cultivation.
If dry earth or muck were used
habitually in the stalls in addition
to a liberal supply of straw, the in.
creased value of the manure would
much more than compensate for the
extra labor. The waste Of the Ii
quid, of which but very small pro
portion is preserved by the methods
ordinarily practiced, would be pre-
vented.

should not keep one from being pro
gressive. Many of the new method:

the one which will always lead u

NEW YORK, Dec. l5.-The can vass
of the vote of New York State to-
day practically completes the offici-
al vote by States and makes it pos
sible for the first time to tabulate
the popular vote for President with
the exception of Utah and South
Dakota, where the courts have or
dered the revision of the completed
returns, the final vote of all the
States has been collected by the
United Associated Presses. In
Texas the canvassing board de-
clared the vote without waiting for
the returns from six small counties.
They have been estimated and
added to the result in that State.
The total vote cast was 13,924,653.
This was 1878, l24 more than the
total vote of 1892. Mckinley re-
ceived 7,l09, 480 and Bryan 6,50S, 68l,
plurality for Mckinley of 600, 799.
The vote for Bryan and Sewall and
that for Bryan and Watson are COM
bined in the total vote given for
Bryan. Only twelve States reported
a separate vote for Bryan and Wat
son. Watson's aggregate vote was
46,879. The sound money Demo-
cratic vote for Palmer and Buckner
was 1872 ,056.
The Prohibition vote for lowering

Sylvania. Ca. June "a fearful shoot

hour by sun at Mrs. Pegsie Zelgler's. the
mother Of Jake zeigler. about seven miles
from here. An Indictment has been pend
ing some two years against Zcig,er. charg-
ing him with seduction. Since then he has
been going about armed TO the teeth. and
he did not hesitate TO say that he would
not be arrested. This moning Adorhold,
a detective who has made several arrests
I'm the county already. of men charged with
harboring tho Zeigler brothers. went out
TO arrest Jake Zelgler. Julius W. Arnett.
a fearless and determined young man of
the town, went with the detective to as
slst him.
When they reached the place Jake Zeig-
Ter was driving calves out of the cow-pen,
and Aderhold approached him and told
Heigler he had come TO arrest him. The
latter made no resistance and it did not
seem that there would be amy trouble. In
fact the detective and Arnett say that
Zelgler had virtually surrendered. and
was discussing with them the question Of
bail.
But very soon some women who were
I'm the house saw what was going on, and
they came running down TO where the
parties were. The women showed consid-
erable excitement and made an effort to
take Arnetts pistol away from him, and
Arnett says in the scunie his pistol fired.
The attention of Lonny Zelglera cousin Of
Jake Zeigler. was attracted by the DEM
onstration, and he ran from where he was
plowing i'm the field to the house and got
his shot gun and started down. Aderhold
or Arnett tried TO stop him, but he ad-
vaneed on, and shooting begun on all
sides.
II is impossible to tell exactly who did
the first firing. Each side claims the
other shot first. Arnett thinks there
would have been no trouble had the wo>
men kept away. LOnny Zeigler came up
ia within about twenty steps of the
scene of the trouble and fired both bar
rels of his gun. loaded with buekshot.
Aderbold was hit both times. filling his
left side literally full, and striking him

Immediately after the shooting the de-
tective and Arnett got IN their buggy
and drove rapidly TO Sylvania.

hours before. He was, therefore, greatly
surprised to hear Capt Howell oppose it
on the convention floor. Mr.. Miner was
mad and for few moments the confusion
was uproarous.
While Chairman Clay was trying to re-
store order, Mr. Miner shouted that he'd
have his say or stay there all night
Mr.. Miner then told the convention,
and Mr.. Fleming in particular, that he
thought the action of the caucus should
be binding and the gold bug delegate turn
ed down.
Mr.. Fleming replied by saying that he
would have opposed such action of the
caucus if he had not been in the chair.
Winn Maddox of Whitfield and j. NJ.
Smith of OglethOrpe spoke against the
minority report. Mr.. Smith said he had
been in every state convention for twenty
five years, and had never seen a violation
of the rule that districts should nominate
their own delegates.
Capt. Howell got the floor a second
time and replied to Mr.. Miner by de-
claring that the action of the caucus
was only an instruction to the district
delegation. He did not deny that he had
told Mr.. Miner to bring his report to
the convention. The convention hall was
the place for such report to be made,
but" he exclaimed, what is the use
of slapping this mans face here in pub
lie"
Mr.. Miner arose excitedly, and was
firing a Volley of embarrassing questions
at Capt. Howell, when Chairman Clay
drew the parliamentary law upon him
and shut him off, and Capt. Howell sat
down, exclaiming I'VE should go to the
Bible and as it says, do unto others as
you would have them do unto " which
created laughter
A vote was then taken, and the ma
jority report electing Mr.. Pendleton was
adopted.
Speaking of the matter afterwards.
Chairman Clay said: IF the convention
had repudiated the nomination of Mr.
Pendleton it would have been an ire
parable mistake for the party. It would
have been an unheard of violation of
party usage, and the result would have
been the detection of the sound money
men. For myself L should have resigned
the Craftsmanship Of the state commit
tee and given the campaign over to some
one else.
The convention was in session just four
hours. Considering the volume of busi-
ness transacted, ii was the shortest ses-
sion on record.
The crowd was well handled by the Ma
con hotels, considering their capacity, but
the lack of accommodation was suffi-
cient TO cause good deal of dissatis-
, faction, and the general drift of senti-
ment was that future conventions should
be held at the capital
