FARHI NOTES.
STOCK NOTES.

The sucking colt enjoys drink of cool
water.
Do not forget the water supply these
summer days.
Butter color will not cover up defects in
grain or flavor.
If you have poor COW do not make her
poorer by giving her poor feed.
At the present and prospective price of
grain no stock should be stnted in its
allowance.
1t is not quantity alone that makes a
COW valuable mixer. Quality has much
to do with it.
Clean pastures, clean water, clean pals,
clean everything, are essentials in good
butter making just now.
Feed has much to do with the flavor
and quality of butter, no matter what the
breed that furnishes the milk.
Keep stock scrapbook and paste into it
items that will be useful for you to re-
member. 1t may save you many dollars.
One of the important items is to do the
right thing at the right time, and tie more
thoroughly this is done the better will be
the results.
Some cows can get more fats and color
out of food than Others, and this profitable
quality goes not by favor, but by breeding,
heredity and good care.
The value Of COW for dairy work is
determined by her ability to produce the
largest quantity and the highest quality
of product the lowest cost for food.
1t should always be horne in mind that
the COWS in IL breeding herd form the
foundation of that herd, aud too much
care cannot he exercised in their selec-
ton.
The little porkers that are running with
the sow on cool pasture will make all the
more use of the grass they eat, if given
what shorts slop they want night and
morning.
One advantage OF sitting butter while in
the granular state is that the salt will
reach every particle OF the butter with

A Century Old.

Mrs. Robert b. Frazer of this town, has re-

A REMARKABLE CENTENARIAN AT MIDDLETON.
Middleton. Friday.
Your numerous readers in the MidetoH
district will be be interested to learn that Mr.
Swithin Fleming, solicitor, residing at Lake
View, Middleton, attained his Tooth year on
Thursday yesterday, and despite his patri-
archial age he is to-day fairly vigorous in
health and in the full possession of all his
mental faculties. The suspicious event OF
his Tooth birthday on Thursday evoked num-
erous congratulations from his friends, and
his residence was literally besieged with WISH
tors. who one and all heartily feliciated him
on the attainment Of his centenary. In the
evening at eight o'clock some Influential
local gentlemen requisitioned some tar bar
rels. and had them set ablaze, near his resi-.
dence, in honor of the event, and cheers were
enthusiastically given for him by the people
who had assembled on the scene, and in re-
ply to this public manifestation of esteem, Mr..
Fleming came forward and gracefully returned
thanks. 1t is worthy of notice that Mr. Fem-
ing is to-day the oldest member of the pro-
fession in Ireland, and that he can read and
write without the aid Of glasses. He retired
from the practice of the profession about
thirty years ago, and eyor since has happily
spent his years in his residence at all times
enjoyed to the fullest extent the esteem and
good wishes of all classes in the community.
When he practieed at his profession his
briefs were generally given to the great
Daniel O'Conneli, in whom Mr.. Fleming had
always the fullest confidence, and living, in
such historic period, he has been able many
time and oft to delight his hearers with the
most interesting "reminiscences OF bygone days

The United States and Cuba.

On Friday of last week, after lengthy
debate, the Senate passed the following reso'
luton
''Resolred by the Senate (the House Of Rep
resentdtires concuTing,) That in the opinion
of Congress condition of public war exists
between the government of Spain and the
government proclaimed and for some time
maintained by force Of arms by the people OF
Cuba, and that the United States OF America
should maintain strict neutralit'- between
the contending powers according to each all
the rights of belligerents in the ports and ter
ritory of the United States.
"Resolred, That the friendly offices Of the
United States should be offered by the Presi-
dent to the Spanish Government for the recog.
milton of the independence of Cuba.
A concurrent resolution does not require
Presidential action, and the Senate acted de-
liberately, because White, of California, and
Allen, of Nebraska, both called attention to
to the fact and offered motions to require the
President to acknowledge the Cuban revolu-
tionists. The resolutions have no effect, le-
gally, but they served to fire the Spanish
heart and quite war feeling has developed
in that country. The Spaniards recognize
the naval and military superiority of the
United States, but they do not propose 10 be
bullied.
The action of Congress is but little short
of ridiculous. In effect Congress did nothing.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
Passage of the Herring Assessment
Bill

{
The Herring Assessment bill was passed by
the Senate on Friday of last week. DIR. Her
| ing, in explanation of his bill, said
Il think this bill is as fair to all interests in
the State as it is possible to make it under the
| constitution. We have not been unmindful
that the heavy tax rate in Baltimore city Will
make bill which the counties could stand
ruinous to the business and industrial inter
| ests of the city. To meet this condition we
have retained the bond-scaling feature Of the
| Hayes bill and compromised with strong
mortgage taxing sentiment of the counties by
a tax of 8 per cent. upon the interest received
from these securities. This tax is so light
that do not think it will disturb any existing
or any future investment. Under the present
law mortgage bonds are taxable at their full
market value. In the city this means confis-
cation of three-fourths of the income. The
bond-scaling feature measnrably relieves this
oppression. Under II 6 per cent. bond for
500, which may be worth Sl20, is taxed at
$50, or one half | understand that the
amendment to the Bankard bill, on the other
side. has made the valuation even lower, that
is a 6 per cent. bond will be valued at 80 per
cent. Of its face value. | believe that this
difference can in conference be satisfactorily
adjusted between the two houses. In the
Senate bill bonds which pay no interest are

think the bond-holding interests can complain
of the way they are dealt with, and at the
same time all other interests are, in my iudg
ment, as fully recognized and protected as it
is possible to have them in any assessment
bill which can be passed. am sure that
under the operations of this bill millions of
dollars OF property in this State not now on
our tax lists will be brought under taxation
and that great relief will be afforded to those
who are now bearing an unequal burden.
The great change in this Ai6a sFan the Hayes
bill is in the method of appointing assessors
/ and in what is called the machinery of the
bill. The assessors are appointed by the local
authorities and there is provision for minority
representation.
The House on Tuesday passed the bill
authorizing the Mayor and Council of Mt.
Airy to issue bonds for street improvement.

The Baltimore Centennial.

The Board of Directors of the Baltimore
Centennial Association on Thursday con
cluded to abandon the enterprise, giving
among other reasons the unsettled financial
condition of the affairs of this country, in
creased by international complication, and
the uncertainty as to the monetary policy Of
the general government, the failure of ouI
largest railroad company, and the refusal oil
the wealthiest citizens and corporations Ia
subscribe.
II seemed evident from the beginning thai
the wealthy men of Baltimore and the big
corporations would not take hold of the affair,
and an article or two in daily paper pretty
we'll stated the position of the rich men.
After two years of work it is not at al
creditable to Baltimore to give up the expo
sition. 1t has been advertised extensively,
and the failure is not going to do the city any
good. It is said the young men are still
hopeful, and a meeting of stockholders viii

Strung Up in Court.

James Sherman was arraigned ON Monday,
in Parkersburg, West Virginia, before JUS
tice of the peace on the charge of assaulting
Lulu Wetherell. The little girl identified
him positively and swore that he was the man
who blinfolded her, kidnapped her and after
ward assaulted her. She was the only wit
ness for the State, and no evidence was offered
BY the defense Sherman was bound over in
the sum of S. 200, in default of which he was
sent TO Jail.
At the request of the officers the justice
ordered a picture taken of Sherman before
his return to the Jail. The prisoner protest
ed, pulled his hat over his face and did every
thing possible to prevent the camera getting
at him long enough for negative. When the
constable and police seized Sherman he
fought and soon overcame the officers.
The court then ordered Sherman strung up.
A rope and pulley were adjusted to the cell
ing. Sherman was bound as il to be hanged,
but the moose was adjusted around his trunk
instead of his neck. Before being bound he
grabbed bottle of red ink and smeared his
face all over, so that he could not be recog-
nized. After several efforts the photograph
ing was given up.

Into the Hands of Receivers.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has
had not gone there years ago. is the wonder o
many people. The road has not been on 1
substantial basis since before the elder Gar
rett died, and in recent years it has been run
more as a personal corporation than as pub
lie enterprise. 1t is backing, at loss, cana
10 keep out railroad competition, and it has
been carried into politics more than once in
the past nine years.
The company guarantees principal and IN
terest on S38, OOO, 900 of bonds, and II guaran-
tees interest alone on large amount OF other
obligations. the annual interest charges thus
guarantee being more than s., 377 900. When
Mr.. Spencer retired eight years ago the float
ing debt had been pretty well cleaned up by
the syndicate loan of $40, 100000, and he had
pricked the profit loss bubble of S4S, 900,
900 which Robert Garrett proudly pointed 10
as surplus.
Most of it consisted, of the securities of nc
ouired lines, or advances TO these roads, on
which there was little hope. of realizing any
thing. 1t well represented the folly of ex-
tensions, but President Mayer did not take
this lesson personally. He went on aequlr'
ing railroads right and left, which proved Il
burden to the company and rendered it nee
essary to turn out more securities in order to
keep the company ahoat There seems to be
no getting around the fact that most OF the
present floating debt was incurred during Mr.
Mayors regime, and it is believed by banker
TO be largely the result of these ill-adviset
acquisitions.
Another thing that probably contributed 10
the downfall of the company was the resump
ton of dividends soon after Mr.. Mayer TOOK
charge. He was not satisfied with paying !
cash dividend, but in November, 1891, stoeI
dividend of 20 per cent. was paid to represen

There was also an issue of new stock for i'm

Destructive Gales in Australia.

VICTORIA, B. c., March 2.--The last week
of January win long be remembered by resi-
dents of the Australian colonies by reason OF
the fact that it witnessed the most terrible
gales and floods ever known on the Queens
land coast. A large number of vessels were
wrecked and entire villages destroyed, the
damage ashore alone being estimated at hall
million pounds sterling. The loss of prop
erty at sea was not so great as that ashore,
but the loss of life by incidental marine dis
asters was even greater.
