ALL AROUND THE DAIRY.

Hoard says that if the cow has a
hard, dry hacking cough, suspect tuber-
culosis.
There is not much difference i'll the
merit of churns except that some work
easier and more rapidly.
Oats and peas sown together at the
rate of about three bushels 10 the acre,
make nearly green crop for COWS.
If the calf is permitted to suck the
COW more than three or four days the
cow will be injured for dairy purposes.
Educate the people to know that
oleomargarine is a dirty, disease-breed-
ing compound, and then let the courts
protect it as much as they like.
1t is said that placing fresh water be-
fore COWS in the stable, so that they can
drink a little whenever wanted, in
creases the yield of milk sufficiently to
repay cost of pipes and appliances in a
very short time.
One dairyman raises his calves on
separator skim milk, with little white
middlings stirred i'll, after they are TWO
weeks old, and until they are four
weeks, when he adds wheat middlings
and old process meal.-Western Plow-

RECONCILED TO EARTH.
An Easy-GOing Individual Who Had
No Desire to visit the Planet
Jupiter.

"What did you say those are?" inquired
the man with the old-fashioned derby hat
who had paused to patronize the curb stone
astronomer.
"Those are the moons of Jupiter" replied
the proprietor of the telescope.
Let me see. Jupiter-that's one of the
planets"
"Assuredly."
"Well, there's a great deal to complain of
on this earth, but t might be worse With
al the drawbacks, I'm glad | live here in
stead of on Jupiter"
"Of course; you have no assurance that
the conditions there would be adapted to
your kind of life."
at isn't that, I'm one of the sort Of
people who can bunk down anywhere and
be comfortable with a piece Of hard tack
and cup of coffee There's only ono thing
that gives me the blues, and that's seeing
the new moon over my left shoulder. It's
bad enough on this earth having to be on
the lookout for one moon every four weeks,
but if | lived on a planet whore there were
four of them / never would know where |
stood 1t all goes to show that no matter
how bad things are they might be worse."-

DOCTORS EXPERIENCE.
Illinois Physician Has an Adventure
That Should Teach Country
People Lesson.

The condition of country roads af-
fects the rural doctor perhaps quite as
much as anybody, especially as his du-
ties compel him to use them pretty con-
stantly, no matter what shape they may
happen to be in. A Bloomington pa
per says that a physician in a small
Illinois town has lately had life made
burden to him by the roads over, or
rather through, which he had TO travel.
I'm some places the mud is actually
foot and a half deep. 1t is at times al
most impossible for a horse to get
through it. Yet he has calls to make
distance of ten miles or more over
that kind of roads. Recently he was
on a good horse galloping through the
mud, in spite of the fact that, at every
Jump the horse went over his andes
when the horse slipped and fell. The
doctor was thrown bodily over ditch
of water, while the horse went into the
ditch head first. The soft ground let
both rider and horse escape unhurt,
but they were both so covered with
mud that it was impossible to tell
what color they were. The doctor had
on a waterproof and did not get wet.
He caught the horse, mounted and
went on. 1t was not an unusual oc-
cIIrrpnce."

How to Round the Throat.

To have a rounded throat exercise the
throat by singing; sing, whether you
have voice" or NOT. deeming the exer-
else valuable. At night wrap the throat
in linen cloth, wet with scented oil.
This will nourish the skin and soften it's
outlines. Exercise the throat every day
by turning the head from side to side
slowly, and never fast. Try this ten
minutes every night and morning. If
the hair falls out change your diet and
improve your general health. Friction
is too rough treatment for ordinary
skins. If used TO prevent wrinkles it
should be gentle and with a little oil
on the fingers.

matches, wisps of paper and broom
straws, while china dolls walk abroad
there and take the air. What trifiingi

The oldfashioned cook of Maryla nd

cooking prepare corn fritters to serve
with it. To make these fritters, cut off
the cob a cupful of fresh corn, or if it
cannot be obtained use cupful of
canned corn, drained little and
chopped. Add pepper and salt, two
wel-beaten eggs and also tablespoon
ful of cream if canned corn is used.
Add a cupful of -four and half a cupful

Kidding the Soil of Ants.

In sandy soils especially, ants are
oftentimes troublesome and more or
less of an annoyance on trees, shrub
berry and plants. They may be de-
stroyed by pouring a tablespoonful of
bisulphide of carbon into the ant hill
and closing the opening with soil. The
liquid will permeate the soil in every di-
rection and kill all animal life, while
being harmless to vegetation. AS it
is exceedingly infammable, it must be
kept carefully away from fire. A rem
edy quite as effective and less danger
Gus to handle is sweet oil. Place this
where the ants can get it and they will
come in quantities. The oil renders
them unconscious, and those not killed
by it may be quickly gathered and de.
stroyed.--Prairie Farmer.

AN ARMED WITNESS.
Sensation in the white Cap Case
Called in Monroe County.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Jan las in
Dictated in a dispatch last night, the trial
of the nine men indicted for whtecapping
came to a sudden end to-day by the failure
of the states witnesses to appear. OF nine
important witnesses, only three answered
to their names, whereupon the attorneys
for the whitecappers made a determined eff
fort to have the cases dismissed. This
Judge Martin refused, taking the stand that
the prosecutor should have another OPP
poItunity TO make out his case. The judge
stated, however that if the prosecuting
witnesses did not appear at the next term
of court the case would not be continued
again, whereupOn he took the bonds OF the
nine accused for their appearance.
1t is the general impression that the alb
sent witnesses were persuaded to remain
away although all kinds of excuses were
made for them. An exciting incident of
the day was the report that Benjamin
Sutherland, one of the three WITNESSES who
had answered when the names for the state
were read, had threatened to kill the first
man who interfered with him. The Judge
ordered him searched and a loaded re-
volver was found in his hip pocket. Suth-
erland expla ned that he was afraid of his
life and had been advised by his friends
to arm himself. fine of $40 was assessed.
and so ended the proceedings of the day.

GAGE AND FAIRCHILD.
Two Financfers Before the Banking
md Currency Committee


WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Secretary Gage
and ex-Secretary Fairchild were before the
House committee on banking and currency
to-day for a further discussion of the
pending plans for currency reform Mr..
Gage assented to Mr. Walkers question
that he appeared as a banker and finaneier
of long experience to aid the committee
The chairman asked If it was possible to
use paper money and keep it at an equality
with coin in purchasing power without the
coin on hand. Mr.. Gage answered that he
thought not. Without the specie hand
there was tendency to distrust, If not
panic, and to a demand for specie.
Mr.. Walkers questions took wide range.
going into the technicalities and theories
OF monetary science. and the effect of a rise
in interest on the diminishing of loans. Mr..
Gage and Mr.. Fairchild alternated in giving
general operations of banking and the con-
ditors most conducive to profitable circu-
iation. Mr.. Gage said il would be impOs-
sible in this country TO have general rate
OF interest, as prevailed in England, where
the Bank of England fixed the rate. Here
It varied in the many States, under stat
utory law, and the banks of the country
had never been able to coalesce on a ruling
rate of interest Mr.. Fairchild. in turn. ex-
planned that the rate of the Bank of Eng
land was governed by the market rate,
which compelled the establishment af the
Oank rate. 10 this extent London and New
York were on the same basis, each interest
rate being responsive to the market and the
law of supply and demand Further ques-
tons brought from Mr.. Fairchld the state
ment that one of the effects of a rise i'm
interest was to check the demand for gold
and this was the experience of the Bank of
England.
Mr.. Fowler asked If per cent rate of
interest would not almost invariably sop
the flow of gold from this country. Mr.
Fairchild thought IL would If the gold
standard was IN operation. Mr.. Gag. re-
sponded TO another extended question that
confidence depended upon the assurance of
coin redemption. Referring to the endless
chain process, Mr.. Gage said il was a fig
ure Of speech applying 10 all official opera
tf0ns where obligations came in and went
out IN a circle. So long as the obligations
were met the operation was not a horrible
thing, but was right and necessary. Mr..
Fairchild assented 10 this. saying the circle
by which redemption was accomplished
was essential in banking. but that the dan
ger lay IN the fact that the government
had not the banking facilities 10 make this
redemption absolutely regular and certain.
Lacking facilities fear was inspired and
she demand for gold increased.
Mr Mitchell. OF New York, called atten-
ton TO the provision of the Gage bill for
the accUmu alton OF gleenba ks in he lress-
ury for me purpose OF preventing the emu
less chain"
Mr.. Gage said that as applied to the gcv-
