culinary Battle.

New York, July THE Independent
Order of the Late Soldiers of Russia
gave a public picnic at Mespeth, l.. |.
The organization is composed of two
factions, the independents and the reg

a conflict that was both fierce and
bloody. Sheriff Harvey Dohle of
Queens county and fifty deputies We're
summoned to the scene. After a strug-
gle of half an hour they succeeded in
~arresting fifty-nine of the b~elligerents.
A hundred men had been more or less
injured. Among the number We're

shot and killed A. Rouse, with whom
he had been involved in some trouble

Tulley claims that his action was in

him with n hammer. There We're no
witnesses present at the shooting.
Tulley appears entirely cool regarding
the matter. and Immediately after he
had killed Rouse telegraphed the sher-

Jealous preservation of financial sound

LIMITED GAS SUPPLY.
The Pressure I'm All the Gas Fields

Washington, July Z. The natural
gas production in the United States in
1895 is reviewed in a report of the ge-
illogical survey compiled by Expert Jo-
seph ID. Weeks. The total value was
S13,00G,650, against S13,95i,400 in 1894.
The value of the product consumed
was 1920, 1877, and 50, T6S.230 was the
value of coal or wood displaced by
gas. The total pipe laid was 1880
oil feet, and the producing wells
opened, 3.S26. The value of the con
sumption during 1SS6-95 was greatest
in 1888, when it was 22.629,S75. From
then to 1891 the decrease was rapid,
and in the past four years there has
been a gradual decline. The most nota-
BILE feature of the year was the de-
~creasing pressure in all of the natural
gass fields Of the country. The life OF
the wells has also been greatly re-
duced.

Profitable MIX Production.

Little savings here and there are
what accomplish great things. We
cannot make profit out Of the average
cow. She is of no use to any one. /
do not believe one ian get along suc-
cessfully by having to purchase his
w cows. No COW is profitable that
produces less than 1000 pounds of
milk. MOI is there anything more pit
liable than a 4OO-pound butter COW in
the hands Of a 150-pound man.
do not say you ought to produce
milk to flood the markets with:
but | do say you ought to produce the
same quantity of milk for less money;
that is, you ought TO produce the same
amount of milk with fewer cows and
at less expense, and so make more
money.
Those who buy cows seldom get the
best; they buy the good lockers" but
are often deceived. And when they
get these purchased cows home they
overfeed them, and as a consequence
these COWS, unused to such high foods,
soon break down and in two or three
years are used up. Better breed up
from your wi stock, and by watching
carefully, you know what sort Of an
animal you have.
Feed and water are two important
elements. You cannot build up an ami
NAL by starch and sugar toeeds. These
will starye her to death, being an I'M
balanced ration. To be profitable a
balanced ration must be fed.
The individuality of the COW must be
studied. One COW is inclined to milk
production, 5000 to 5000 pounds of
milk. Another produces 400 pounds of
butter; another is a producer of beef.
To be successful we must know what
tendency the COW has. and act accord
ingly. Those who want to make but
ter should keep only the butter cow;
those who sell milk should not keep
butter or beef cows, etc.
Don't feed too much corn for milk.
| Wheat bran or middlings are the safest
and the best foods for the cows. /
J would make either of them a principal
food for cows up to six years at least.
There are no better Folds. Pea meal
In excellent. Every ton of milk sold
| takes of about IS worth OF fertility
