New York, June 14.-A man who, the
police say is one of the cleverest con-
fidence men that this city has seen Of
late years. was sentenced yesterday TO
three months imprisonment on Black
wells Island as vagrant. He gave
the name of George Smith, but the de-
tectlves who arrested him said that he
had also answered TO the names George
Smyth, Daniel Lewis and Daniel Pierce
His alleged victims. who did not appear
in court, however, include several law
yers.
Smiths method, according to the po-
lice. was to present himself at a law

whatever judgment he might receive.
He would exhibit a damaged forearm.
a badly SCARED head. an index finger
partially gone. and many apparently
severe bruises upon his legs. IL the
attorney agreed to undertake the -ase.
Smith, IL is declared, would borrow 81

funds, and would then disappear.
So many complaints were received at
police headquarters that Detective

Dodge died from Bright's disease, Part
of the estate in controversy consists of

GRADING up A HERD.
1t Must BE Done systematically or the
PROFITS of the Dairy Farm
VIII Decrease.

The average farmer may think he
cannot afford to buy blooded stock, and
there are plenty who confess this, but
where il the farmer who cannot afford
to grade up his stock by introducing a
fine bull occasionally? The cost of a
fine bull is not so great to-day that the
average farmer cannot afford to pur-
chase one whenever the herd needs new
blood. But the man who is opposed to
fancy stock is usually on general prln-
ciples opposed to grading up-that Is.
in grading up where 1T will cost a 1T
tie, either in time or money.
There is no better Investment in
this age than in bloodcd bull which
will bring new life and power into q
herd of COWS that has been gradually
run down. Most farmers hate to admit
that their herd is running down. But
1t is SO easy for the animals to deRen-
crate that most of us are caught nap
ping. The degeneration is not the re-
suit OF sudden change. 1t comes on
gradually and before we know 1T we
wake up to the fact that our animals
are not what they ought to be. To
avoid such degeneration ono must be on
the watch.
The herd needs tonic, so to speak,
or will go down hill, and before we
know it the damage is done, and it will
require some hard work to recover the
lost ground. The beginning of all the
work must be with the bull. A herd
headed by frst-class bull can be made
to do wonders. But the process of Sc
lection and wedding out must also be
observed. There will appear in every
herd now and then animals that have no
place there. They need to be killed off
or sold. Too much rigidness in this
respect cannot be observed. The lack
of it is usually the crying need of our
dairymen. The cash sales of young
bulls from herds that have been proper.
ly graded will often more than pay for
the cost OF new bull occasionally

Nervousness in Cows.

To most people, the COW is the most
placid and least exoitable animal in the
world. When we'll fed, and not dis
turbed about her calf, she win lie and
chew the cud of contentment for hours,
md while thus undisturbed will Sc
crete all the milk possible from the food
she has eaten. Yet the domestic COW. If
she be a good mixer, has capacity for
becoming nervous and excitable such
ms the OK or spayed COW cannet rival.
At all times the first-class mich COW
must be hearty feeder So long as she
is given all she wants, she may be quiet
enough. But II placed in pasture
where the food is insufficient or too
poor In quality, the COW will soon devel-
OPP rowing instincts, and will break
through fences in order to get what she
likes. The COW that will not do this In
case of necessity is of little use for the
dairy.-Midland Farmer.
