She had a thrilling experience when

down the street, foaming at the mouth,
and first attacked Miss Sebenhor, who
turned him about with her parasol.
Then IL sprang at the throat OK Mrs.
Turner and fastened its fangs in her
clothing. She seized the dog by the
back of the neck and ears, forced it
from her, placed it upon the sidewalk

She held the struggling animal in this

Considering the intense cold ofAlaska
it might be well for us to turn to Yuma,
Ariz., for a little relief. 1t has been
stated for fact that the ghost of SOL
dier, who had lived bad life in Yuma,
came back from the neither regions to
get his army blankets because he felt so
cold down there. Yuma is now a -four
fishing mining town with a population
of 5000. For weeks at a stretch the
temperature ranges from 81 degrees to
125 degrees. They remark that it is a
cool day when the mercury sinks down
to 80 degrees. This season Yuma has
had two spells of hot weather, when the
thermometer registered III degrees in
the shade. SO, if one gets "froze out"
in Yukon he could get thawed out in
Yuma.

rapid and cheap method of
testing milk, by the Babcock
test, no one can afford to be ig-
norant of the butter capacity of his

Ing, and then as to its advantages The
milk of cows, whether taken separate
ly or in herds. is constantly varying
from day to day, and from milking to
milking, these variations usually fall
Ing within an extreme range of one
per cent. In addition, the milk is grad
ually growing richer, from the time
the cow calves until 1t dries up. To
overcome these variations, cow
should be tested for at least four con-
secutive milkings, and eight milkings
are still better. This is easily done,
by mixing samples of the different
milkings and making one test of the
mixed sample. To get an average test,
for the whole milking period, two tests
can be made. one six weeks, and the
other, six months aft, r calving. The

A number of representative men and
women have given the New York In

stitutes the most striking characteristic
of the period and the reign Of Queen
Victoria. A response from Gladstone

than that of Frances e. Willard. that
the queen has set up and illustrated the

To be royal and yet pure in heart has

feet long. II is to be made of a mons
trous Puget sound fir tree and is now
en- route to the islands. The way Capt.
Beckley happened to get the idea OF
eclipsing the world in the way of flags
is peculiar. He is a commodore in the
Hawaiian navy. On the eve of his de-
parture for this country dinner was
given him by the employees Of the COM
pany and he received a present of o.
fat purse. Capt. Beckley said, RS It
was handed him: "The money will be
used in the purchase of the largest
Hawaiian flag ever seen in Hawaii. IL
will be larger than the great flag OF the
American league and will fly from the
foremost of the Helena from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu. Then Il will float
from a tall pole in my yard on the
slope of Punchbowl HILL" This is why
a heavy manufacturing firm here is
now busy with the great flag. 1T will
be the biggest dag of which I ever
heard, /" said Capt Beckley yesterday.

which originates its own electricity, by
the aid of which, you can churn in one

tacks of this insect In the mature
state this insect is fly, which deposits
its eggs in the pulp of the apple be-
meath the skin. The young magsots
grow within the fruit, which they rem
der worthless, and when mature
emerge from the apple and go into the
ground, lying in the pupa state be-
meath the surface soil among the grass
roots. Samples of the earth, six inches
square, were taken, and the number OF
maggots under the trees varied accord
ing to the size, from 800 to more than
10000 under each tree, the pupae some
what resembling kernels of wheat.
Now comes the point which was par
ticularly interesting to me. The ex-
pertinent was tried as to whether poui-
try, II confined to a small range and
encouraged to scratch, would destroy
these pupae A large movable wire
fence was placed about a tree whose
fruit had been destroyed by insects.
One side of the fence was raised and
about fifty hens were called into the
enclosure. The fence was let down
and they were confined to the space
around the tree. AS soon as they had
eaten the corn they naturally began to
scratch for the pupae, and in the course
of three or four days 1t was found that
the latter had disappeared. AS these
insects remain in the pupae state from
the fall of the apple to the following
spring, when they appear, 1t may be
expected that next year the number
of flies breeding the apple maggot will
be greatly diminished in the localities
where this plan is followed. From per-
sonal experience, extending over many
years, l can speak positively of the
advantages of allowing fowls and
chickens a free range in apple orch
ards. They not only manure the soil
and destroy all insects harboring in it,
but they find, for some weeks, con-
siderable proportion of their own food
the windfalls, which they devour
greedily, with any grubs they may con-
tain. The raising of poultry for sale
may be much more advantageously
carried on where the land is made to
produce two crops-namely, apples and
eggs-than where only one is gathered.

four pounds of oleo, found pounds OF
casing, four pounds of sugar, and two
pounds of varied salt production, and
by the old process, you only save the
oleo, or butter oil; but the electric

oleo, thereby increasing the quality

The dairymen of Illinois have got
their anti-color (butterlne) bill enacted
into law, but will now have to push it
in the courts. A Chicago paper last
week said: "Butterine manufacturers
have banded together to test the con-
stitutionality of the anti-butterine
color law. They will resume manufac-
turing and coloring it in defiance of
the statute. Three of the largest firms
engaged in it's manufacture have al
ready resumed. They are the Fried

& Fits, and the w. ]. Monkey Com
pany. They will persist in making,
coloring and selling butterine until ar
rests are made. Then the fight In the
courts will begin, all the firms having
pooled issues in this. The claim of
unconstitutionality is based upon sew
eral points. One is that butter Is col
ored by the same process as butterine,
and what is lawful for one is lawful
for another. A second point is that
the law is special legislation, in the in
terest of one industry and against an
other. A third point is that the bill
was passed after midnight-the hour
for adjournment of the legislature
