DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Continue feeding mich cows for some
time after turning on the pastures.
Milk is elaborated from the blood
as it passes through the glands of the
udder.
Souring milk is process of thick
ening, which finds its complete fulfill
mcnt in loppered milk.
A prominent dairy journal states
that "if tuberculosis is germ disease,
as all authorities have come to accept,
then it cannot be hereditary"
Oleomargarine has displaced ss,OOo,-
900 worth of pure butter in the United
States. How much has it enhanced
the price of beef tallow, it's chief in

What is claimed as the champion
dairy cow of the world is Shorthorn
named Honeycomb, bred by John Lind
say, of Kimble Park, Unamdoran, New
South Wales, Australia. The record
claimed for her is S4H pounds of milk
in "a hours, yielding Az pounds of but
ter.
Calves intended for the dairy ought
never to be fed in such a manner as to
accumulate fat or to establish a predis-
position to lay on fat. They need food
that will form bone and muscle to ex-
pand their frames and fit them to take
and digest large quantities of food dur
ing their future lives.-Rural World.

Thank you; I'm glad to hear it.

How would good roads have bettered

] have owned this farm for 25 years.
For Is years it has been good farm for
you. have paid you interest enough to
have sent my son and daughter through
college. You ask what that has to do
about good roads. 1t has this to do: l
have figured that if we had maintained
a system of good roads it would have
cost me half as much to market my
products. 1t would have been done with
half of the teams, half of the hired men.
less than half of the cost in wagons. The
wagons l have wrecked on our bad roads
the past 25 years cost me, when new,
$1,470. Some of them might have failed
on good roads, but it is safe to say that
my loss on wagons alone was $1,000
more than it would have been on rea-
sonably good roads. l figure that the
extra teams and their living, cost me
$4,000, and the hired help-more than
! would have had if the roads had been
such as that paper tells about-has
cost me $4,000. Every man of mature
Judgment ought to know that if we
had good roads about here. and especial
ly between here and the cities to the
right and left, where most of our prod
ucts are marketed, and where we do
most of our trading, and in one of which
we attend church, and where our sons
and daughters go to high school, this
farm would be worth double what it is
now, and call it worth $4,000 at pres
ent. That is $4,000 more that would
have been added to my savings by good
roads. That makes my loss over $751;
600, a good deal more than l am worth
to-day. My bright boy and girl must go
without the college education l had
hoped 10 give them and could have given
If l had had the benefits to be derived

want change. Your business as a
mopey-lepder would end with an era of
good roads. Farmers would save
enough by them to become bank de-

ious for good roads. You, too, would be,

1t was an unanswerable argument
and the money-lender admitted as much
by departing without saying another

Value Than Other Roots.
The wonderful productiveness and
ease with which the improved variety
can be produced is always surprise
the first time to those who cultivate
them. They are an excellent food for
cattle, sheep and horses, and one of the
cheapest and healthiest hog foods
raised, and for mich cows they ex-
eel any root 1 ever fed for increasing
the flow and making the milk much
richer. Last winter this variety was
tested at the Fremont creamery on a
small scale and the report was very
good. Chemical analysis proves that
the artichoke isn't behind in nutrition,
compared with other roots:

SISTERSvILLE, w. Va. August I'm
tslligence of the worst bloody and sensa-
tional shooting affair that has ever occur
red in this county reached here early this
morning from Stringtown, one Of the oil
towns in the interior of the county.
Early last year a tough in this section
known as Charley Fox went into one Of
the gambling rooms here and attempted
to clean it out while he was drunk.
Among the people who happened in at the
time was viii Mackey, who had just ar
rived there from Cripple Creek Colo. Fox,
in the melee which followed his attempt
to clean the place out was used up very
badly and for several months was confin-
ed TO his room with the injuries received.
After his recovery he went to Stringtown
and has been working there. Last week
Mackey went out 10 Stringtown TO work
in a gambling room. Sunday, Fox, who
was drunk. going into the room, saw
Mackey and commenced 10 shoot on sight.
Mackey was not armed but got hatchet
and slosed with his assailant and inflicted
some serious wounds with the instrument.
Fox broke away and loaded his gun and
the second time went 20 shooting. By this
time some one had handed Mackey a gun
and a general fusilade commenced. Fox
only received one ball. but it struck him
over the heart and the last heard of him
this morning he was in dying condition
and was not expected to live through the
day. Mackey was shot once in the groin
and one bullet shattered his left arm. He
is also in precarious condition and may
not recover Mackey is a fine fellow and
there is general regret expressed at his un-
timely accident, while there is but little
sympathy expressed for Fox. as he is con-
sidered a very bad character.
Late news received from the scene of this
bloody battle is to the effect that Fox has
succumbed and that his friends are en-
route to this city with his remains. Mack
ey arrived here this morning and left on
the noon train for Wheeling, where he
will be attended to at the hospital.

dav The instructions declared that
all packages Of smoking tobacco, fine
cut chewing tobacco, or cigarettes con-

all violations Of this section of the act
be reported to the commissioner of in
ternal revenue. but no seizures shall be
made without specific instructions from
him. Some question has arisen as TO
the power of the department in the pre-
mises. The contention is made that
Congress has no power to fix by law
regulations governing the packing OF
articles subject to internal revenue un-
less in some way the power or convent
ence of the government in the collec-
tion is affected Also that this provis-
sion is in restaint Of trade and inter-

Helm Him Control the Miners-Has Been
No Disorder.
Pittsburg August 2.-Whatever the
immediate elimination Of the miners
strike situation may be, in this district,
it is evident Sheriff Lowry considers
the time a critical one. Tonight he
telegraphed Governor Hastings fully
concerning the conditions existing here
with the evident purpose of having the
governor prepared for any emergency
tbat may arise in the near future. 1t IS
learnd the governor has been so i'm
pressed with the gravity OF the case,
that he has instructed the adJutant
general to remain III his Office all night
awaiting and requisition that may be
made on him for troops.
The only surface occasion for this
precaution is the fact that tonight an
immense procession of miners and cltl-
zens headed by Burgess Teats. OF Tur-
tie Greek. marched through the streets
of the borough and back again to Camp
Determination, where mass meeting
was held and the burgess assured the
men that they had his sympathy as well
as that of all the citizens thereabouts.
1t may be, the sheriff in view of the
fact that the big assembly at McCreas s
school house to-day was in violation OF
his proclamation, has reason to believe
that the miners are beyond his control,
and has warned the governor of i'm
pending trouble.
Beyond the meeting and marching to-
night all is quiet in the neighborhood
of the camp.

at the head of the procession when the
marchers reached the Center school
house.
The force of deputies was kept busy
during the entire night. Every move
was watched and trouble seemed TO be
in the air. The condition can be SAID
to be critical. Both sides feel that
there is a crisis near at hand. The
officials of the New York and Cleye-
land Gas Coal Company gave out the
statement tonight that their forces
were increased in the Turtle Creek
and Sandy Creek mines, and that more
mel were at work in the Plum Creek
mine than there has been since the
campaign against the company started.
The hearing of Patrick Dolan Will be
held at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon
before Justice Semmons, Of Turtle
Creek.
The miners officials have retained
attorneys and the case will be fought
to the bitter end.
