The plugged jury talk going the

clear, in many respects. Was the jury
plugged to give him only two years or
plugged to give him more than he de-

plugged to give him two years when he
should have had more.

Good Horses Scarce.-The best In
formation available from detached
communities here and there all over the
United States, as we'll as from general
Intelligence on the subject. is to the
effect that the proportion OF good horse
flesh to the population OF the country
has seldom, IL ever. been as low as It 10
now. The dlscouraging conditions sur
rounding the horse markets every
where have had the natural effect Of
turning stockmen away from the grow
ing Of good horses. until the result al
luded to is SO plainly manifest as to
admit of no question. What may be
expected as the legitimate result? ?
Many things have occurred to reduce
the demand for horses for purposes OF
transportation and in the industries.
but we fail to read the signs Alright
IL the tendency. despite all this. is not
toward a situation in which the de-
mand for good horses will exceed the
supply. That day may not be just at

That consumption can be cured is the
hope once more held out by Prof. Rob-
ert Koch, a German scientist whose
name was on every tongue seven years
ago. Koch's "tuberculin." which was
then tested. with unfavorable results.
was . preparation of the bacilli Of ta-
bsrculosis. The present treatment also
consists Of hypodermic injections Of
these bacilli. but with this difference.
that the bacilli have been broken up by
mechanical means In order to facilitate
their absorption. Doctor Koch does
not promise that the new tuberculin
would be useful when the malady had
reached an advanced stage. He does
afarm that "a large number of suitable
patients" have been cured by 1t. It Is
noticeable that European scientists
treat this claim with great respect-a
certain indication that, in their view,
Doctor Koch's twenty years study Of
tuberculosis may at any time be
crowned with full success.

The only other man now sought by

The second startling chapter com.
prises developments which go to show
TINT the gang. eleven members of
which are now In jail, committed
murders by wholesale In carrying on
their thieving operations. In fact, II
Is now believed that the gang planned
murder on the same scale as did the
BENDER gang In Kansas In the early
los, and perhaps as extensively.
Three OF their victims are now known,
and the officers have a long list OF
missing men who are now believed to
have fallen victims OF the San Isidro
gang.
The officers expect to be able to
prove before they have done with the
case that Daniel Young. n wealthy and
prominent cnttleman OF COlfax county,
New Mexico, who was shot and killed
while riding over his range near Fol.

Making Good Bu.,cr.

There Is something radically wrong
on the farm where butter Is frequently
made fit only to be exchanged for gro
ceries and other goods. says Colman's
Rural World. This butter Ii too poor
to go to the large markets. and the To-
cal store-keepers do not pay any more
for the best than the common sort. The
result Is that small farmers have no
encouragement to make butter and se-
cure better prices. The farmer who
makes only few pounds Of butter a
week should not submit to the old ex-
change system. He should make bet
ter butter. pack 1t properly. and send
1t where cash can be obtained. Tho re-
suits OF such method would be aston
ishing to many poor farmers to-day
who are receiving about half what thsy
should get for their products. The
work OF butter making should be made
just as systematic on the small farm n
at the creamery. Select the cows thai
will produce good milk and cream
keep them clean. healthy. and we'll fed
and when they have passed the period
of profitablehess exchange them fol
young animals. Cleanliness In hand
ling the cream Is next to the most i'm
portant. It will pay any farmer tc
have the right implements for butter
making. Good ventilation should b<
secured at all times. When the milk ID
brought In from the cows take 1t to q
well-ventilated room. strain 1t, and set

In which the dairy is also situated. On
the Shaw and Flemish farms large
quantity of live stock is reared. includ-
ing shorthorns. Devons. Jerseys.
Ayrshires, Herefords, and cross-breds.
for meat and milk for the Royal table.
Dairy farming at Windsor is marked by
completeness of detail. The buildings
and sheds are admirably adapted for
the purpose for which they are intend
ed. and the designs were generally su-
pervised and approved by the late
Prince Consort. In 1868 the late John
Chalmers Morton declared that the
herd had been literally maintained
from Its own members. and would COM
pare with any In the country for purity
OF descent and the quality and uniform
ity Of Its character. Many improve
ments have been introduced since that
date. and the breeds include rich-milk-
Ing Jerseys and deep-milking Short
horns. The old dairy at Frogmors.
which was erected when George III.
was King, was not very we'll arranged
and quite out Of date. Therefore the
Queen and her Consort decided to have
new one built near the old one. The
Prince desired gravel subsoil. plenty
of pure water for use In the dairy and
for flushing drains which carried the
waste away, as no cesspoo. was per-
mitted near the dairy. The walls were
to be built hollow, and be covered with
glazed tiles, as also the floor. The
Prince also insisted that the roof was
to be constructed SO that changes In
the weather might not AFFECT the milk;
and with the same object in view the
windows were made with double case
ments In order to exclude heat in sum
mer and cold In winter. Hence. an
even temperature Is maintained. Ven
tilation was provided by regulating the
easements at the top OF the roof and
sides. Outside there was to be free
circulation of air. and hence no trees
are within thirty feet OF the Royal
dairy. These conditions were admir-
ably carried out.
