BOY INSTANTLY KILLED.
italian Lad Crushed by a Pile of
Falling Stones.

Raphael Valentino. an Italian boy
about 16 years of age, was instantly
killed in Carlucci's stone yard, on
Scranton street, yesterday morning.
The boy was employed in the office, but
was yesterday engaged in measuring
stones with Nicholas Carlucci.
These stones were in a pile, on the
center of which Valentino was stand
ing. The pile began to topple suddenly
and before the lad could spring away
he was carried to the ground with the
falling stones and was almost com
pletely buried beneath them. His
back was broken and he must have
been killed instantly.
The remains We're removed to the
boys home in Dunmore by Undertaken
Wymbs. The boy is survived by his
mother and four sisters. On account
of the accident work at the stone yard
was suspended for the rest of the day,

Yield of Yield of 80
Teeth Age Marks In Cattle.

Nowadays, when early maturity is
being so much cultivated in the case
of all breeds of stock, the dentition
Of farm animals shows much more
variation than was usual in the old
days, when animals were not forced
to finish at anything like IT, high
rate of pressure which has Oh late
years been INDUCED in. One of the
consequences of this high pressure
system of feeding has been that the
leading English show-promoting bod
les, such as the Smithfeld club. the
Royal and other agricultural societies,
have found it necessary to lay down
special rules for the determination of
the ages OF such animals as are exhiD-
tied at their shows. The Royal DIb-
lin society, in common with the other
leading agricultural bodies, has found
it necessary to adopt certain regula-
lions in this direction. The rules Tor
cattle follow:
Cattle having their central perma-
nent incisors cut will be considered as
exceeding one year and six months.
Cattle having their central perlra
nent incisors fully up will be consid-
cred as exceeding one year and nine
months.
Cattle having their second pair Of
permanent incisors fully up will be
considered as exceeding two years and
three months.
Cattle having their third pair of in
cisors cut will be considered as ex-
ceeding two years and eight months
Cattle having their fourth pair (cor-
ner) permanent incisors fully up, and
their anterior molars showing signs
of wear, will be considered as exceed
ing three years.

The director of the Montana Exper-
iment station says: To protitably pro-
duce pork the farmer must pasture
swine, both old and young. This ne
cessitates pig-tight pasture fence.
OF materials employed for fence con-
struction lumber is perhaps the best.
However, it is expensive in its first
cost and subsequent maintenance, and
its tendency to collect snOwdrifts
makes it Objectionable. Wire fences
are cheaper and more durable We
have tried swine fences built of thick
set barb wire, wire three inches apart,
tightly stretched, stapled TO posts lG
feet apart, with stakes between posts
four feet apart 1t would seem taat
such fence would turn the pigs, but
it did not. The cuts and scratches
caused by the wires heal rapidly on
swine. ana the little fellows would
wriggle through, Indifferent to the
barbs. Later we have used fence
made of smooth wire, three different
numbers, woven into close mesh

How a Herd IL Built I'm.

Carolina Agricultural college, thus
tells how herd Of mixers was built
up. The work is based on record keep
ing. He says:
When this record began In 1891. the
experiment station had four cows in
its stable, one registered Jersey, one
unregistered and one grade, the fourth
belonged to the Agricultural and Me-
chanical college The registered COW
was stripping and the unregistered one
had been milking about three months,
having come in milk prematurely by
an injury which resulted in permanent
lameness. This reference is also the
one by which may be found the method
Of making the record. 1t is simple
and easy. The wonder is any farmer
will keep a COW and feed and care for
her by the year without knowing
whether it pays, when by simply keep
ing a record he would be sure. and
where several COWS are kept this would
point out the profitable cows.
How much milk should COW give in
order to be classed as a profit maker?
Evidently the amount depends on the
cost of feed and value Of milk. A
number of years ago the New York
state dairy commissioner estimated
from a large mass of data which came
to his office that the average yield
from New York COWS was not above
1900 pounds. The United States CEN
sus figures show that North Carolina
COWS produced 2136.5 pounds OF milk
each in 1879 and New York cows 39S7.6
pounds. Later statistics gathered in
New York show gain for New York
cows:
The first years record here showed
that of seven cows kept and MIXED
long enough to publish their records
four yielded above 5000 and one of
these about 1000 pounds of milk dur
ing that year, 1891.
In 1892 5000 for a grade and 1000
for a pure but unregistered Jersey
were the highest yields and neither OF
these was in the list above 5000
pounds in 1891. Late In this year
heifer began to yield milk which has
developed into the deepest mixer OF
the herd
lii 1893 there were eight cows yield
ing above 5000 pounds, and only one
of these to reach that limit in previous
years was of the list and she barely
in it. OF the other seven one yielded
nearly and two above 1000 pounds one
5,213 pounds and another, No. 5, the
second highest yielding COW, reach g.
GOT pounds.
In this years record nine cows out
Of eleven yielded above $500 pounds
and one of these other two was 4
heifer which was in milk only two
months. but yielded l.166 pounds in
that time. Five records were close to
1000 pounds, one 1906, one 5,1S6 and
one as high as 6,175.2. The ten cows
averaged 4,1O2.5 pounds. and their but
ter yield averaged 246.7 pounds.
In 1895 the heifer Spot and COW No.
were the only ones OF fourteen on
record to approximate 1000 pounds Of
milk. The third highest was cow No.
with 3,74l pounds OF milk. These
three at IS per cent butter fat yielded
1858, 1896 and 2O3.4 pounds of but
ter; or, at Worlds Fair rate of so per
cent fat the yields We're 253.7 1896
and 216.1 pounds. while the Jersey,
Dora Mckee, with yield of 320i.l
pounds of milk, was credited with
1883 or 254.2 pounds of butter.
1t would seem from this that this
herd was entitled to place an easy
standard at GO00 pounds of milk and
