Sealing Prices for Cows.

The North Carolina experiment sta
ton has evolved an idea that Is wor-
thy of adoption. 1t is that cows
should be bought and sold at price
based upon their milk production.
Many a northener has thought that
far, but how to apply in fixing a scale
OF prices tallying with the idea has
been farther than they have gone.
This is what the tar state professors
have undertaken, however, and the
scale formulated is as follows: Pay
for the cow SIP for each gallon of
three and half per cent milk that
she gives a day. To this add or sub
tract dollar for every fourth of one
per cent fat which IL tests above or
below three and half per cent.
Suppose the COW gives two gallons
day of three and half per cen.
milk. She would be worth S24. If 1t
tested three and three-fourths, she
would be worth one dollar more for
each gallon, or two dollars more. IL
she tested four per cent, she would be
worth two dollars more for each gal
lon, or four dollars more, making her
value $2S. If she gave three gallons
day Of three per cent milk she would
be worth $685., less the deduction Cor
being below standard. The deduction
would be two dollars per gallon, or
Sc, and subtracting this from $50 would
fix her value at $50, or 81 more than
the COW giving two gallons of four pei
cent milk. This rule recognizes the
correct idea, but whether it is just
right is more than we can say. 1t GER
tainly is in the right line, for the value
Of the cow depends upon the amount Of
butter-fat furnished.-Waverly Repub'

Watering the Cows.-In watering see
that each cow has liberal supply, and
IL she does not drink enough, look after
her and ascertain the reason. If the
COW does not drink freely the supply of
milk will soon begin to fail. AS for
her winter rations of food, one can not
do better than to feed her night and
morning fifteen pounds of ensilage and
three of shorts, with five of clover
hay at noon.-Ex.

Pure Water.-An abundant supply of
pure water within reach of the hogs
at all times is indispensable, but the
water can be in the yard to which
the hogs have access. Shade is also
essential in the summer and nothing
excels tree for this purpose But in
the absence of trees building Of
some kind should be provided and a
floor is just as essential as roof. l
consider a bed among fine dust highly
injurious to swine, for, unlike other
animals, the hog. when he sleeps, lies
with his nostrils close to the ground
or floor. and it becomes all important
that IN breathing there is no dust that
can be inhaled.-Ex.

BRATTLEBORO LOCAL.
owNEY IN BRATTIEBoRo.

"Owney," the famous post-ofiice dog,
whose acquaintance extends almost liter
ally to the corners of the globe, visited
Brattleboro Monday, arriving with Postal
Clerk Parmenter on the 5 AS train from the
south, and returning at 9:10 o'clock Tues
day morning. During his brief stay here
he was visited by between 300 and 400 peo-
pie, who paid him their respects at the post
Office steps. Owney is very ordinary APP
pearing dog, but enjoys the distinction of
having been ushered into the presence of
more noted personages including represen-
tatives of japanese and Chinese royalty,
than any other dog or very many people.
Over bushel of tags and medals, collected
during his travels, are kept in the post-of-
fee department at Washington. Owney
has been around the world since his last
visit here, and collected over 200 medals on
the way. When the mail pouch was made
up and thrown down near the door Tues
day morning Owney climbed upon it to
wait for the baggage wagon. While there
DR.. Pratt's dog entered the office and was
promptly driven out by Owney. Owney
pays no attention to other dogs unless he
suspects them to be interfering with the
transportation of the mails. Julius E.
Leach of the post-ofiice made four excellent
negatives of the canine celebrity with his
kodac.
An article in st. Nicholas describing
Owney's trip around the world, gives an
amusing account of his arrival and recep-
ton in Japan. son his arrival at Yoko-
hama" the article says, "his baggage was
examined with no little curiosity by the of
ficials, as no digntary had before entered
Japan who owned so many decorations that
he was obliged to carry them about with
him in bag. 1t was soon concluded that
Owney must be either dog of very high
rank, or the property of a distinguished
person, and an account of him was prompt
ly forwarded for the information of his I'm
perial Majesty, the Mikado.
"a few DAYS later an official waited upon
Owney and presented him with passport
bearing the seal of the Mikado. 1t was ad-
dressed TO the American dog traveller, and
in very howery language extended to him
the freedom OF, the interior country. There
were some stipulations which, in all prob
ability, Owney would have agreed to had
he made the trip. Some were as follows
The bearer is expressly cautioned to OBJ
serve in every particular the directions of
the Japanese government printed in Jap
anese characters on the back of the pass
port, an English translation of which is
given herewith; and he is expected and re-
quired to conduct himself in an orderly and
conciliatory manner toward the japanese
authorities and people, The passport also
forbade him TO attend fire on horseback
warned him not to write on temples, shrines
or walls, and politely requested him not to
drive too fast on narrow roads,"

Another Vanderbilt wedding.

Despite the determined opposition of his
family and in defiance of the threat of dis
inheritance, Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr., was
married yesterday to Miss Grace Wilson.
Not member of the Vanderbilt family was
even invited to the wedding, which was
notable for its simplicity. The ceremony
took place at the home of the brides par
ents on Fifth avenue, and no guests were
present besides the BRIDES family and the
groom's best man. Hardly had the cere-
mony been finished before kilograms of con-
CALCULATIONS began arriving. From across
the water came cablegrams of congratula-
tions from the Prince of Wales, the duke
and duchess of Marlborough, the earl and
countess of Pembroke and Others of the no.
bility. 1t is generally understood that the
attack of paralysis which Cornelius Van
derbilC recently suffered followed soon af-
ter an agitated discussion with his son re-
garding this marriage.

MARY1AND's NATIVE RESOURCES.
The Work Which DIR. william Ii. Clark
Is Doing this Summer.
th.. Ralt Gun

u rum lnt baltimore sun
Prof. William B. Clark of Johns Hop
kins University, state geologist, has been
vigorously pushing the work of the Mary
land geological survey in all portions of
the state during the past few months and
has already had men at work in nearly
every county. 1t is the intention of Pro-
fessor Clark to first make a preliminary
survey Of the whole state in order that he
may have available the most reliable in
formation in regard to what is being done
toward the development of the natural re-
sources. To that end he has assigned a
thoroughly equipped man to the conduct of
the work in each county, or group of coun-
ties, as the case may be. Each geologist
has associated with him one or two young
er men, who report constantly TO him.
The facts and details thus gained are filed
in carefully prepared blanks, and thus
made readily available.
While this preliminary survey is going
on special attention is being directed to a
more detailed study of the building-stone
industry.
Professor Clark states that the building
stones of Maryland are of great diversity
and value and have been up to the present
time but partially known and appreciated.
1t is his intention to have prepared, with
the aid of Prof. G. p. Merrill of Washing
ton, the leading building-stone expert of
this country, an exhaustive volume upon
this subject for presentation to the next
session of the legislature.
Professor Clark has spent the summer in
travelling over the state, experimenting
the work of the different parties and dis
cussing the objects of the survey with the
leading people of the counties. 1t is his
intention to visit every county in the state
and confer with the people interested in
the various industries.
