ton. Each Of these is usually made by
winter feeding on dry feed end from
corn as the main reliance. But In
most European countries corn Is used
only indirectly. The result is that
Danish aud French pork is generally
preferred by English consumers and
brings a higher price than does the
mainly corn-fed pork produced In the
United States.
But that distinct improvement In the
flavor of meats can be produced by
feeding certain foods is not 30 we'll un.
derstood as it should be. The sweetest
and the best favored meat we ever ate
was mainly fattened on pumpkins and
Hubbard squash, in a season when
both of these were plentiful and al
most unstable. They were fed to fat
tening cows without grain, the sugar
in the Hubbard squash supplying the
place of starch. We have heard that
the bsgssse from the sugar cane, after
most Of the sweet has been extracted,
makes an excellent quality Of beef
when 1t is fed to fstlening cattle. Un-
doubtedly the same result comes from
feeding rich corn ensilsge, made from
COrn put into silo when 1t was In the
caring stage. II is not only the
suCculence of this feed, but also the
fact that 1t contains sugar (Which is
more digestible than starch), that
makes the beef made by feeding corn
in this succulent stage better and
sweeter than when 1t is fed when the
sugar is changed to starch.
Lovers of canVasbsck duck know
that its dne flavor is largely due to
feeding on the wild celery roots which
abound in the marshes of Chesapeake
Bay. These wild celery beds were de-
strOyed by severe cold q few winters
ago, but some of the wild celery was
taken to Western lakes, and the can
Vasbsck ducks have taken to feeding
there, with the result of making their
flavor as good as those that used to be
taken from the Chesapeake. 1t is now
proposed to restOck the marshes OF the
Chesapeake with wild celery, mainly
to bring the CsnvssbsCk duck to It's old
feeding grounds and improving the
flavor of its flesh.

Much has been written upon the
best season for COWS to drop their
calves. Opinions still differ, and by
far the greater number of milk COWS
are allowed to follow the most natural
course, and either by indifference or
intention they "come In" In the spring
The producer of milk for sale, If he
has an even trade, may want to have
about an equal number of fresh COWS
every month in the year. If the bull
is kept up and service controlled, this
can be regulated as a rule, although
unpleasant Irregularities In breeding
will sometimes occur and stub.
bornly resist correction. But if the
prime object is to produce the greatest
quantity of milk of the best quality
and at the greatest profit from any
given number of COWS within year,
the evidence is overwhelming that the
COWS should be managed SO as to calye
in the autumn months. For like rea-
SONS, September is the best month, In
most parts of the country, for heifer
to drop her first calf In order to best
develop as COW, and this almost re.
gsrdless of the age Of the animal at
first cslving. Calves born in the fall
are easier reared and make better COWS
than those born in the spring or sum-
mer. 1t seems needless to rehesrse
the stock arguments on this subject,
based upon the long experience Of sue
CNssful dsirymen, but brief recspitu-
lStiOR may be useful. The cow or
heifer calving in the fall needs the
most healthy and nutritious pRstursge
just following the strain and while
coming into full flow. Just at the
time when some falling off is likely to
occur, the animal is brought to the
stable and receives good care; the win
ter feeding and the returns from it
may be depended upon to exceed the
midsummer results for any like period.
At the stage of milking and of gesta-
tiOn, when another dropping off in the
milk yield may be looked for, the
fresh pasturage induces q fresh flow,
lengthens the milking season, and in.
Creases the years total product. De.
cember and January are good months
In which to control and supervise the
service of the bull. Midsummer and
dOgdsys are good time for the COW
to be dry and preparing to calVe again,
and most improbable and annoying
time to make milk or handle 1t. The
greatest product and the richest comes
at the season when milk and butter
are always comparatively high in price
In actual practice four fall-fresh COWS
have been found to equal FIVE which
cslved in the spring, in twelve months
product, and at about four-fifths the
cost.
DRYING OFF COWS AND CALvING

Inquiry Into Mrs. Green
pOn'S Death tOBe Made.
COr0ner'S Doctor Says Cold
Bath Did Woman no Good.
d.. GOldberger Who Treated Her
Makes an Explanation.

New York, March 23.-President Silas
c. Croft, of the commissioners Of chari-
ties, has ordered thorough investigation
. of the cause of death of Mrs. Amelia
Greenpon, who died in Bellevue hospital.
Superintendent Murphy has been
directed to file a written report, and this
will be submitted TO the medical board,
who will determine whether the treat
ment directed by DIR. Goldberger was
proper under the circumstances.
Mrs Greenpon lived with her husband,
John Greenpon, a tailor, on the ground
floor of 62l East Fifteenth street. They
had no children. Mrs. Greenpon had
been ailing for some time. she had "a
hacking cough. Sunday she decided to
go TO Bellevue hospital. An ambulance
was summoned, and she walked to the
vehicle without assistance.
The admission slip at the hospital
shows that her case was diagnosed AS
pulmonary, " and she was sent to ward
81, of which DIR. Goldbergcr is in charge.
Soon after her arrival at Bellevue Mrs.
Greenpon, IL is said, manifested symptoms
of hys terra, and DIR. Goldberger advised
the nurse 40 watch her closely. After
he left her she had similar attacks, and
upon his return he came To the conclusion
that she was shamming. Her pulse was
strong and temperature about normal.
He ordered a cold bath, which he says is
the usual treatment accorded hysterical
patients. A short time after the Dath
Mrs. Greenpon had commissions and died.
DIR. Goldberger said yesterday that no
only administered the usual treatment.
Supt Murphy warmly defends DIR. Gold
berger, who, he declares, is one of the
best physicians at the hospital and by
reason of his ability has been detailed as
instructor at the male training school
He saws that under the system of record
keeping Mt Bellevue il is TO the interest OF
the doctors to save every patient possible,
because each death is "black eye TO
the attending physician.
Mr. Murphy admits he did not make a
special report of the case To the Commits
sioners, because he did not consider IL one
OF any moment He did report the death
TO the CorOner's office because the woman
died within twenty -four hours after her
admission to the hospital.
DIR. q. II. Schultze, of the Coroner 5
office, yesterday made an autopsy and dis
covered that Mrs Greenpon' death was
caused by congestion and oedema of the
brain and lungs chronic nephritis
(Bright's disease) and epilepsy.
When asked whether the cold bath given
Mrs. Greenpon had fastened her death
DIR. Schultze remarked, after momentary
hesitation We'll the bath did not do
her any good
Physicians did not care to discuss the
matter.
1t is probable that Investigations will
be ordered into the causes leading to the
deaths of Mrs. Alice Smith of No. I'LL First
avenue, and the widow of DIR. Robert
Hays, of No. 3i2 East Sixty fifth street

: EIGHT BREAKS.
Burglars Make a Tour Of Central
Falls Residences.
Entered Several But We're Frightened OFF
Without Securing Much Booty.

The police of Pawtucket and Central
Falls are of the opinion that the two men
who have figured so extensively In this
city as artists In tho burglary and hold
up lines have transferred their field Of
operation and that they paid the two
smaller cities n visit last night. SO far
as has been learned there were no less
than eight houses, all within the radius of
few blocks that were entered by the men
and while the return for their labors was
comparatively slight they displayed con-
siderable skill in opening securely locked
houses and In escaping from some very
tight corners.
The first place entered was the residence
of Samuel NJ. Conant in Central Falls.
Here the burglars packed up enough sill
verware and jewelry 70 make good haul,
but before they could leave the house they
were discovered by Mrs. Conant and her
screams sent them flying from the ho use
through the front door, which had pre-
viously,been left open. Mrs. Conant saw
one of the burglars and her description
of him t,illies with that Of the taller of the
two men who have been operating here.
They next went TO the home of George
Il. Stiness, 123 Clay street. Here they were
also discovered before they had time TO Sc
cure any of the valpables. From there
they went 10 the home of Leonard Watson,
which was very near that of Mr.. Stincss,
but In breaking the windows aroused
the members of the household and the
thieves beat a retreat. They had no better
luck at the residence of CharlesW. Nichols,
ll9 Clay street, for here they failed TO
gain an entrance, although they did con-
siderable damage in the attempt, but,
nothing daunted they proceeded TO l26
Clay street. The lower tenement OF
this house is vacant. The upper tenement
Is occupied by A. G. Shumway. Here
the men entered the lower tenement and
the tracks of their shoes, as well as the
line of burned matches, show that they
made the attempt to reach Mr.. Shunway's
apartments and were not successful
At the home of Charles Is. Dean, on
Illinois avenue, the men succeeded in
obtaining small sum of money that was
in MIR. Deans pocket, and with this they
escaped. Mr.. Dean awoke in time to
catch n glimpse of one of the men and his
description leads the police to believe that
it was the same man who was seen by
Mrs. Conant.
Besides these houses the residences of
j. Mccartney, on Ashley street. and
| Thomas Welsh on Jencks street were also
| entered, but in each case the noise
| awakened some one and the men were
| forced to beat hasty retreat.
The total amount of the stealings will
| not be over "A few dollars but the neigh :
| borhood Is thoroughly excited and the
man who attempts to ply such trade in
! this section Of Central Falls for some
time to come will undoubtedly meet
with warm reception.
