Plain Strawberry ShOrtcake.

Take one quart of flour, half tea
spoonful salt, half cupful butter, two
cupfuls of milk and two teaspoonfuls
of baking powder; sift the flour,
baking powder and salt into a
bowl; add the butter. and chop it very
fine with chopper in the -four, then
mix it with the milk into Soft
dough; divide it into two equal parts
and roll each part to the size of a
jelly plate. Butter a deep jelly tin
and put in one layer, brush it over
with melted butter. Put on the other
layer and bake in a quick oven. When
done, remove it from oven, separate
the two layers with broadsbladed
knife and spread them with butter;
mash some fresh strawberries with a
silver fork; cover the bottom layer
with the mashed Strawberries and
sprinkle thickly with powdered sugar;
lay on the other layer with the crust
side downward; cover with a thick
layer of Strawberries; sprinkle with
sugar and serve with vanilla sauce,

THE DAIRY TYPE COW.
Averages of Large Herd for
a Series of Years.

Careful experiments show that the
dairy type of cow yields on an average
$500 pounds of milk yearly, while the
cow with beef heredity and tendency
yields 4,500 pounds under similar condi-
tions, says the Farm, Stock and Home.
When milk brings dollar hundred,
as is now the case, the net income from
the butter. from the: dairy COW, whose
milk averages four per cent. fat, is $45,
while. that from the cow of beef type
and whose milk only averages IS per
cent. fat, is only $27. The feeding value
of the skim milk giving four per cent.
butter is worth one-seventh more per
pound than is the milk containing IS
per cent. Adding the actual value of
the skim milk of each COW to the net re-
turns for butter, we get from the dairy
cow $55 and from the other $33. These
figures are taken from averages of
herd for series of years and under the
most favorable conditions. Another
very important result should be noted
in this connection, and that is that the
cows having fesh-forming tendency
remain useful in the herd for only half
as long as do the dairy type cows, and
that the former are more apt to cons
tract disease than is the spare cow.

How fN Kill R1a0E Anfa

Black ants are at times very injuri-
GUS to apple and other fruit trees by
eating off the bark near the surface
of the ground. If their nest is near
by, the best way to destroy them will
be by getting little bisulphide of
carbon and putting perhaps tea
spoonful of it into their hole and cov-
ering the hole with a piece of cloth.
The vapor from his material is heavy,
deadly, and sinks rapidly into the nest.
If it is impracticable to get bisulphide
of carbon, and the nest is not too near
the tree, a good way to destroy them
is to pour perhaps a quart of gasoline
into the hole, and after it is we'll
soaked in set it on fire. ANOTHER rem
edy which has sometimes been used to
good advantage is to mix arsenic with
sugar and scatter it about the hole.

The slaves forming the silo must be
beveled, tongued and grooved. Any
height desired can be reached if the
ends of the slaves are properly Joined
together, the best known plan for do
ing this being to use a metal spine,
which when finished is wholly con-
cealed and makes the stave from bat-
tom to top as good as if of one solid
piece.
Use round iron for hoops, extra
heavy size at the base, medium in mid
die of silo, and little lighter at the
top. Locate hoops some nearer TO-
gether for large silos than for small
ones, the average distance apart be-
ing about two feet.
On 16-foot diameter silo each hoop
needs two draw Jugs and correspond

The above, in brief, is the republican

history of our American politics a
great political party has declared in
specific terms in favor of the gold
Standard. It has condemned the bimet-
allism, for which it's candidate, and the
peoples president, voted on three oc-
:asions as a representative in congress
from Ohio. It places itself firmly on
record as the party of protection and
proposes to maintain inviolate the
trust breeding Dingley bill, to the al
legged beneficent effects of which, with
the gold standard, tits claimed the sup
posed prosperity now felt in the land is
entirely due. The Philippine declara-
tions are the most unsatisfactory of
all the planks of the platform. They in
dictate an indefinite, uncertain policy
summed up in the clause that the situa-
ton demanded that the United States
should put "down armed insurrection
and confer the blessings of liberty and
civilization upon all the rescued peo-
pie" And now, 'the largest measure of

MODERN ROAD LAWS.
state Legislatures In Every Part q
This Great Country Should BE
~. ., Asked to Pass Them.

Workers in the good roads movement
in this country are hoping for mate
rial advancement of their cause as
result of the rapid Introduction OF
autom obiles. The impulse toward bet
ter highways caused by the bicycle is
likely to be repeated, in intensified
form, now that new device calling Tor
smooth surfaces has been perfected, es-
pecially as the higher cost OF the auto
matte vehicle is calculated to cause its
owner to demand proportionate con-
sideration. The serviceability OF the
automobile increases in ratio with
the smoothness of the way. The cleo
trio vehicle, having limited capacity,
is especially affected by rough roads,
which increase the demand upon the
batteries for given length of run.
The road-use of these contrivances is
rapidly becoming their chief feature
and hence the hope that influences too
strong to be ignored will be felt by
state legislatures to induce them to
pass modern road laws calculated to re-
form the highways. The process of
teaching the rural voter by object les
sons that his best interest lies with a
better road, and consequently more
liberal system of construction and re-
pair, does not produce the results re-
quired. It is slow work to drive the
truth through the sloth and prejudice
which have contributed to the evolu-
ton of the worst system of country
roads in any civilized country. Too
frequently the farmer still holds to the
narrow tire and kills his horses and
loses his markets and wastes his profits
to haul his products through the mire
or over rough ways that rattle his wag-
ons to pieces long before their time. It
has become apparent that the farmer
must be helped despite himself, and
the good work already done by the de-
partment of agriculture and the League
American Wheelmen and by individual
bicyclists must be furthered by the
"chauffeurs." The owners of automo-
biles will soon find it to their interest
to take hand in the propaganda and
| with this help the good work may
progress to the point of extensive addi-
tions to the decent highways of the
country during the next few years.
What is needed in every state is stiff
law, putting premium on smooth
roads and tax on bad ones, establish
ing system of rebates from the coun-
ty taxes on all wagon tires three inches
or more in width and providing the ma
chinery for the uniform enforcement
! of such statute. Even the most be-
nighted community can appreciate the
logic of a road tax, and with intelligent,
honest supervision to see that the road
work is properly done most of the
denominations now called by courtesy
roads should speedily give place to
hard, smooth, well-kept highways,
bringing business to the farmers and
opening up the country to settlement.

each hoop. They might be of cast iron,
but malleable are better, safer.
The lumber should be thoroughly
we'll seasoned and of good grade.
Some kinds are more liable than others
to shrink and swell. Let this be
thought of. Experience has shown
that cypress and white hemlock give
good results.
The willing boy or hired man may
be ambitious to handle the brush.
Let them occasionally spread coat of
suitable wood preservative over the
inside surface of the silo, and paint the
exterior.
For removing the ensilage from the
silo there must be openings in the form
of doors, or an open section. Doors
were formerly used until something
more economical and labor-saving was
devised The silage being such heavy
product and so concentrated, it is econ
omy in labor and cost of handling to
have the silo that is made with con-
tinuous opening front. This allows
the discharge out of the silo at all
points down the front of the vessel as
the feeding season advances.
= Ensilage originated from the felt
need of having a low cost succulent
cattle food for winter feeding. So well
has it served that purpose that when
the midsummer pastures become short
the silo is coming to be we'll regarded
also for summer and autumn feeding
This should be remembered when the
size of the silo is chosen.-Farm Jour

meath the surface are aware that
while he is the unresisted autocrat of
the great political organization he
rules with rod of iron, he is per-
mitted and able to do so only as the
delegate of the combined trusts and
monopolies of the country, who con-
troll and dictate to him, even as he
controls and dictates to his candi-
dates, his men in office, from the
highest to the lowest, and his herd of
political cattle in the senate and
house of representatives.
AS it was four years ago, it is the
will of the trusts and monopolies that
he shall be continued in power,
through the nominal presidency of
his personal creation, Mckinley. He
has but to give the nod, and the job is
done. There is chance that it may
not prove to the liking of the great
voting masses of the union; but that
is a question which cannot be decided

M'KINLEY's DENOMINATION.
1t II the Will Of the Trusts and Mo.
nopOlies That He BE Contin-
..~ ued In ONCE. r..

Four years ago Mr.. Hanna succeed
ed in nominating Hon. William Nc
Kinley as the republican candidate
for president of the United States.
But it was only accomplished after
two years of the hardest kind of pre-
liminary political work, the aid of
creatures like Wimberley, of Louis
lana; the purchase of several hun
dred head of delegates from rotten
southern boroughs, and the most
lavish promises of patronage. On ac-
count of these malodorous but neces-
sary preparations, Senator Platt, of
New York, often and feelingly re-
ferred to Mr.. Mckinley as "the mort
gagged candidate" His shrewd bust
ness manager did not escape harsh
criticism at the hands of many party
leaders of that day. Hanna did not
mind the slurs of his antagonists in
the game. He made his plans, kept
his check book in a condition of per-
nicious partisan activity, and landed
his man.
Between the time of the St. Louis
convention and that in Philadelphia,
how things changed! Again Hanna
was on hand to nominate William Nc
Kinley. He had not had to do any
preliminary work, and there was no
one to say him nay. He was no long
er the rank outsider trying, to elbow
himself to the front of bunch of
party managers. To-day he stands
alone, supreme, unchallenged! To the
naked eye, there is nothing whatever
left of the national republican party,
except what can be seen under the
hat of Marcus Alonzo Hanna. People

weeds and Butter Flavor.

The food affects both butter and
milk, at least so far as oils are con-
cerned. There is a controversy over
the question of bad silage tasting in
the milk and butter. But it is gener-
ally agreed that when the cows eat
wild onions there is an oil that goes
through the system of the cows into
the milk. Where there has been trou-
BILE Of this kind it would be well for
the owner Of the cows to give the
pasture a visit and subject it to a
thorough exploration. There may be

the cows to the detriment Of the quail

middle-aged individual, who gave his
name as DR.. Thurston and offered his
services as q physician; the other was
young man with keen gray eyes,
who said nothing, but exhibited a re-
porter's badge.
The physician at once turned his
attention to the cabman; felt him,
thumped him, pinched him; smelt his
breath; and then delivered his YER
dict:
"No bones broken. The slight
scalp wound doesn't amount to any,
thing. The man has been drinking
heavily. He is simply drunk"
The horse, had by this time been
embarrassed and the cab had been
lifted upon it's wheels again.
The reporter stood by a silent and
apparently listless spectator of the
scene.
DR.. Thurston turned to him:
"Come along, Sturgis; neither you
nor are needed here; and if we do not
hurry, Sprague's dinner will have to
wait for us. It is quarter to eight
now"
The reporter seemed about to follow
his friend, but he stood for an instant
irresolute.
II say, DOCTOR" he inquired at last,
"are you sure the man is drunk?''
"He has certainly been drinking
heavily. Why?"
because it seems to me-Hello, we
cannot go yet; the passenger is more
badly hurt than the driver
''The passenger" queried the ply
sician, turning in surprise to the police
man.
"What passenger" asked the police
man, looking at the cabman. "Have
you passenger inside, young feller?"
'Naw," replied the cabman, who
seemed to be partially sobered by the
shock and loss of blood. NAV, I amt
got no fare, barrin' the man wot was
on the box"
The reporter observed the man close
ly as he spoke; and then, pointing to
the step of the cab, which was plainly
visible in the glare of a neighboring
electric lamp:
II mean the passenger whose blood is
trickling there" he said, quietly.
Every eye was turned in the direction
of his outstretched hand.
A few drops of a thick dark liquid
had oozed from under the door, and
was dripping upon the iron step. The
cab door was closed and the curtain
was drawn down over the sash, the
glass of which had been shattered by
the fall.
One Of the policemen tried to open
the door. It stuck in the jamb. Then

CHAPTER II,
THE WAGER.

1f1E " AGER.
"What I mean to assert" said Ralph
Sturgis, with quiet conviction, lis that
every crime is it's own historian; that
all it's minutest details are written in
circumstantial evidence as completely
as an eyewitness could see them-aye,
more fully and more truly than they
could be described by the criminal him
SELF
The reporter was man of about 80,
whose regular features bore the I'M
mistakable stamp of intelligence and
refinement. In repose, they wore an
habitual expression of retrospective
concentration, which might have led
careless observer to class Ralph Stur-
gis in the category of aimless dream
ers. But single flash of the piercing
gray eyes generally suficed to dispel
any such impression; and told OF keen
perception and underlying power. The
mouth was firm and kind; The bearing
that of a gentleman and man of edu-
cation.
/ "But," objected the host, 'you surely
do not mean to express belief in the
infallibility of circumstantial evi-
dence?"
''Why not?"
Because you must know as we'll as
anyone how misleading uncorroborated
circumstantial evidence is. do not for
get what remarkable results you have
often accomplished for the Daily Tenn
pest in detecting and following up
clews to which the official detectives
were blind. But, frankly, were not
your conclusions usually the result of
lucky Suesses, which would have re-
NAMED comparatively useless as evil
dence had they not been subsequently
proved correct by direct testimony"
''Let me reply to your question by an
other, Sprague,' answered Sturgis.
"When you draw a. check, does the pay
ing teller at the bank require the tes-
timony of witnesses to your signature
before admitting it's genuineness?"

J.. Precisely. He probably knows the
signature of Harvey M. Sprague, the
depositor, better than he does the
face Of Sprague, the artist. And yet
the evidence here is purely circum-
! stantial. I know of at least one re-
cent instance in which the officials Of
! q New York bank placed their inn
plicit reliance upon circumstantial
evidence Of this sort, in spite Of the
direct testimony Of the depositor,
who was willing to acknowledge the
genuineness Of a check to which his
name had been forged. z =5=
