Those who have followed these
tests are aware that the Jerseys won
at every point-in quantity of milk,
quantity of solids other than butter
fat, quantity of butter, quantity of
cheese, and in net profit. But it is,
an important matter to determine
which OF the breeds produced the
highest quality of butter. Inasmuch
as that scoring highest was rated at
the highest price, the value per
pound of butter fixed under the scor-
ing before referred to will determine
the relative merits of the butter of
the various breeds. An examination
of the average price per pound of the
butter in the 80 and 30 days tests
will show that the Jersey butter was
the highest in quality in both, the
average price per pound for the three
breeds being as follows: In the 80
days test erseys, 40 $4,000;
Guernseys, 40 33-10Oc: Short Horns,
doc. In the 30 days test-Jerseys,
As 5-100c; Guernseys, as 53-l00c;
Short Horns, as 66-100c. These fig
ures prove most conclusively that the
Jersey butter was that possessing the
highest quality. ...

III lether Alexander Carr is feign
ind r Is insane is a question which
IL Ahlcials Of the county jail at At
l1t4Sa, Ca, where the man is CON
ihed under sentence of death, are
unable to answer, says the New York
Journal.
With great mass of tangled and
matted black hair falling over his
neck and face and hiding his down
cast countenance from sight, Carr
seems to be as much animal as hui
man. He eats ravenously, snatching
at his food and eating it much as an
animal would do. He furnishes the
strongest problem ever presented by
prisoner in the county Jail. Carr
is all enigma He has spoken to no
one in IL months.
Alexander Carr is a near approach
to wild hog in his manner of life in
jail. He waits for his food to be left
ON a box, and when his visitor has
gone he pours it out on the floor and
ravenously eats it, passing the life
necessity to his mouth with two
long, bony hands. Sometimes he
throws the food in a corner of his
cell, and, after letting it remain
there awhile, crawls to the victuals
and eats them. 1t is always with his
head nearly on his breast that he
eats his food, and sitting on the edge
of his bunk he looks like hunch-
back. His tall figure doubles nearly
up and his head Of hair is a mass Of
tangled black locks. x
The thrice tried man-twice on an
issue of sanity, once for MURDERS
visited three times a week by his
father, but he never speaks or utters
sound or word to him. To his
parent he shows no sign of recog-
milton, and appears to regard him in
no manner different from anyone
else. The troubled parent carries
food and necessities to his condemned
son at every visit and renders such
little services as he thinks might add
to the better care of the cell; he no
longer hopes to comfort his boy.
Carr was committed to the Fulton
county Jail August rs, 1894. Since
that time except at the first trial he
has almost constantly passed his
time on his bunk. For time after
his incarceration began he talked
freely and intelligently, and showed
no signs Of the approaching lapse
into bis present condition. He was
cheerful and apparently indifferent
to his confinement for month or
two, but day after day he began to
realize his predicament and became
less talkative and much less buoyant
and high spirited.
At that time his mind was clear,
and he looked one in the face instead
of gazing downward as now. It was
not until he had been placed ON trial
for his life and convicted that the
murderer of Capt. King began to
grow respondent and silent. Day
by day something stole over him
which took from him the cheer Of ex-
istence, and when time brought him
face TO face with the certainty of
punishment 1t was then that to the
world he appeared in the same con-
dition that he now lies IN a filthy
cell eG

Writing of the Sun, Sir Robert
Ball says: ''For every acre on the
surface of our globe there are more
than 10000 acres on the surface Of
the great luminary. Every portion
of this illimitable desert Of flame is
pouring forth torrents of heat. 1t
has, indeed, been estimated that if
the heat which is necessarily flowing
through any single square foot of the
suns exterior could be collected and
applied beneath the boilers of an
Atlantic liner it would suffice to pro-
duce steam enough to sustain in CON
tinuous movement those engines Of
10000 horse power which enable y
superb ship to break the record be-
tween ireland and America"

All the butter made in the Chicago
tests was scored by experts, appoint :
ed by Chief Buchanan, who were
practical men, standing high in their
calling. A sample of the butter was
taken each day by the butter-maker.
This butter was scored about once
week. None of the judges scoring
same had any means of knowing
what butter they were Judging.
When the scores were made up they
were sent to Chief Buchanan, who,
after detacling the names of the
scorers, sent the scores to the Testing
Committee for entry and record. 1t
was an impossibility for the judges to
know what butter they were scoring,
except such knowledge as they would
obtain of the general Characteristic
of the breeds The scale of points
was as follows: Flavor, 55; grain, Is;
solidity, 10; color, 10. The prices
allowed for the butter were as fol-
lows:

There are tricks in all trades but

we sometimes drive screws with a
hammer" A few days ago, not more
than a thousand miles from Lake
county, a collector called on farmer
for the payment of note secured by
chattel mortgage. The farmer was
obdurate and gave no satisfaction
that he ever could pay the note.
Finally the collector said: "Well,
I'll have to take the eleven COWS
named in the mortgage"
"Oh, no; you haven't got a mort
gage on eleven cows on this farm"
why, yes, have" And the col
lector pulled out copy of the mort
gage and read as fellows:
"One red and white COW, one COW
spotted red and white, one red COW
with white spots, one COW with white
spot in forehead, one red COW with
two white hind feet, one white COW
with red spots on side, one white and

spots on hips, one white cow
