Death Penalty a Failure.

A writer in the Arena contends that
the death penalty has been a failure in
this country, basing this conclusion on
the Increase of homicides. The figures
given are somewhat startling. In 1880
there were only 1920 homicides in the
United States, but in fifteen years the
number went up to 10000.

What Will the Harvest BET

Spectators want to know 80 they
can coin money out of crop failures or
successes. Farmers want to know 80
they can make some calculations as to
the probable demand and prices for
their crops. 1t seems clear now that
two things can be safely prognosticated,
short hay crop in the East and large
corn crop in the West. 1t is Of course
too early to have any very reliable in
formation as to the latter crop, except
that there is larger acreage planted
than usual, but this is good start
towards the securing of large crop.
But the hay crop of large part of the
East is bound to be short on account OF
the drouth. This does not mean, how
ever, what it would have meant only a
few years ago. Then it would have
signified great expense for extra feed.
Now it means that the farmers will
have to rely more on their silos and on
late planted catch crops, unless indeed
1t shall continue TO be 80 dry that SEED
will not catch. Corn is coming more
and more to be the great staple article
of fodder in the eastern states, and the
silo has placed in the farmers hands a
means of securing the corn crop in the
best way and at the least expense.
Other crops are sure to be more or less
affected by the dry weather in the east,
but as those conditions are exactly re-
versed in The west, it follows that they
will not bear so heavily on the farmer
as though the drouth were more exlen'
sive. Furthermore, in some sections
there is considerable quantity of ole
hay on hand which will go far to exc
out the short crop of the current season

Food to be Used With Skim Milk for
Dairy Calves.

We notice that many of our ex.
changes are publishing extracts from
Bulletin 35, of the Iowa Station, which
gives the record of an experiment
made with twelve calves for seventy
four days. The calves divided into
four lots.
The experiment was made TO deter
mine what was the best food TO mix
with separator skim milk to promote
the best growth. The conclusion was
that the best and cheapest admixture
was corn meal. But our exchanges
generally leave out one very important
fact brought out in the bulletin, by
Professor Curtis, and that was that the
experiments were made to secure the
best growth possible for beef results,
not milk.
On that point Professor Curtis ex-
pressly says:
"To develope and grow TO maturity
dairy.bred calves for the block, or
calves of positive beef tendencies for
dairy purposes is worse than folly.
1t will also be unsatisfactory to grow
both beef and dairy calves by the same
method.
The beef bred calf should lie fed to
constantly maintain from birth to ma
turity a good, even covering of thick
| flesh.
To grow dairy calf in the same
manner however, would prove disas-
trous to dairy production, no matter
what excellence may have been inherit
ed"
Our readers will remember that in
our reply to Mr.. Crehore, on page 26S,
under the head of "Fattening Heifers,"
we spoke of the peculiarly deadening
effect of corn meal on the mammary
organs, and functions when fed in too
large quantities. These organs and
functions in the heifer calf should al
ways be considered as embyro. How
they will be developed depends very
much, as Prof Curtis intimates, upon
the way the heifer is fed. If she is
fed largely on carbonaceous food, es-
pecially food like corn meal, the result
will be to weaken and ensmalf those
organs.
The honey bees understand the
subtle effect, or developing character
of food. By most wonderful skill that
exceeds all human comprehension, they
make either a neuter or queen bee by
the use of certain kind of food.
By the same use of food we can either
develop or decrease the mammary pow
er and capacity of the heifer which is
to be the future cow.-Hoard's Dairy

Quality aud Quantity Of Milk.

AS quality cannot be fed into:milk,
the only way to improve the quality is
by breeding. Never breed from cow
whose milk does not test at least three
per cent fat. Have patience in the
work of improving the herd and quality
of milk. 1t requires time to accom-
plish such radical changes. We have
frequently said that while we cannot
feed fat into milk, we can, by feeding,
increase the yield, and the larger body
of milk will contain more fat than
smaller quantity from the same COW
would. The quantity of milk which
a COW gives, if II tests as high as three
per cent, may make her really valu
able COW, more valuable than COW
whose milk tests much higher but does
not give near the quantity. 1t is in
the very large quantity OF milk that the
Holstein- Fresiau gives that lies her ca
pacity for making the splendid records
that she has made as butter cow

Cost of Making Butter.

The cost of making pound of but
ter in the creamery is not only inter-
esting but important to consider. State
Dairy Commissioner Norton, of Iowa,
claims that the saving of cent pound
in the manufacture of butter means
nearly 81 100000 on the butter prod
uct OF the State. One creamery in that
State last year made 100000 pounds for
one cent pound. In creameries that
received not more than 100000
pounds of milk the cost was LIS to 7
cents per pound. The average price
was 8 cents for 49 creameries of this
class. Sixty.three creameries, each
handling not more than 2,250,000
pounds of milk, report the cost at from
1.25 to As cents per pound, or an aver.
age of PAP cents. In the 3,500,O00
pounds of milk class, II creameries re-
ported that the cost was from 1.25 TO
A cents per pound, or an average Of
2 2 cents. These were the separator
class of creameries. In the gathere d
cream class, it cost IL creameries, max
ing less than $50, 900 pounds of butter,
from 1.5 TO 4 cents per pound, or an
average of 2.93 cents; and Is creamer-
les, making more than 10000 pounds
of butter, reported the average cost to
be 2.33 cents, ranging from 1.25 to
3.S4 cents.
The difference in cost is wide. The
larger creameries can make butter
cheaper than the small ones, but there
is no information as to whether some
of the larger creameries may not have
been among the hign-cost clase. The
practical lesson of the statistics is that
butter can be made at the lowest figure
given. If a creamery is not doing it,
why lie it not doing il? There may be
the very best of reasons why it is not,
but its management should be abso-
lutely sure that such reason exists; and
not finding that it does, the next step
should be decentralization Dairy man,

THERE Is more catarrh is this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and, by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease, and it therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.

Mr.. NBWLANDS EXPLAINS.

After the balloting for United States
Senator at Carson Tuesday, Francis G.
Newlands gave the following explain
alton OF his withdrawal as a candidate
to the Associated Press correspondent:
1.-THE issue in the legislative contest
during the last campaign was clearly
Stewart and anti-Stewart. The anti
Stewart forces won. They were COM
posed of Independents and the Stewart
Silver party men. The Democrats and
Republicans, after election, were over
suggestive that union of the anti
Stewart forces could more easily be ef-
fected in favor OF my candidacy than
that OF any other man.
81 offered myself as a candidate, but
always stated that would withdraw in
favor OF any capable bimetallist upon
whom the anti Stewart forces could
more easily combine. Owing to diverg-
ence of views as to the method OF union,
the time which 1t should be effected and
the candidate, the task of uniting the
anti-Stewart forces was most difficult.
and whilst we we're engaged in efforts
to unite these forces, Stewart succeeded
/ In securing sufficient votes to obtain q
majority. My name, therefore, was
not presented to the Legislature.
'sThe victory gained by the people al
the polls has been reversed in the Leg
islature, and the Southern Pacific Il
victorious. The question for the future
Is whether the administration OF the
government In Nevada shall be con
troled by the people or by the South
ern Pacific company. The issue will b
pressed with vigor."

X. G. Davis came in from Cherry
Creek last Sunday and went on to
White River next morning. He will
return in few days.
Mr.. Davis informs us that there is a
strong feeling in Cherry Creek in favor
of the segregation OF the Offices OF AS
sessor and Treasurer in this county and
OF uniting the former with the Sheriff s
office and the latter with the Clerk 8
Office; and petition is being drafted to
that effect. The general opinion here
among our business men seems to
be that II there Is any separating to be
done, the Offices should be kept sepa-
rate, and one large taxpayer advocates
making the Assessors Office good for
one term only of four years, and that
instead of salary, he be paid by a
percentage on the taxes collected. The
matter is worthy OF consideration.
A private letter from A. c. Cleveland
written since the Senatorial election to
friend here, speaks In the highest
terms of 1.-The loyalty and active work in
his behalf of both Senator Comins and
Assem- blyman Paul. Cleve Is rapidly
recovering in health and takes his de-
feat stoically. II 1t had not been for
his unfortunate illness, during which
for several days the doctor excluded all
visitors, we believe that the result Of
the contest would have been vastly dif-
ferent. He was without doubt the NEST
popular anti-Stewart candidate, and II
the result could have been postponed
fow ballots, the complimentary votes
extended TO other candidates would
have come to him. But 1t Is all over
and all the 'df's" in the language won't
change the result. OF this at least his
friends at home are proud, mo talk OF
sack or bull-dozing has there been to
mar his campaign.
