The Oklahoma contest was referred back
in the same way
The Indian territory dispute was settled
by allowing both delegations to participate
IN the naming of national committeeman.

NEW YORK, August s.-Judge Lacombe
of the United States circuit court today
rendered an opinion which indicates that an
order for the extraditfon Of Charles F. w.
Neely to the Cuban authorities will be
signed on August 13. The latter part of
the document says:
THE evidence shows probable cause to
believe that the prisoner is guilty of an Of
fense defined in the act Of June 6. 1900, and
which is also a violation Of the criminal
laws in force in Cuba, and upon such evil
dence he will be held for extradition.
Two obstacles to his extradition now ex-
ist. He has been to bail in this court upon
a criminal charge of bringing into this dis
trict funds embezzled in another district.
He has also been arrested In civil action,
brought In this court to recover $4,000.
which, 1t is alleged, he has converted. When
both OF these proceedings shall have been
discontinued the order in extradition will be
signed. This may be done on August 13, at

INDIANAPOLIS, August s.-Regarding
the withdrawal of Charles A. Towne from

Mr. Towne's letter is manly and patri-

pected by those who know him best
Other democratic leaders expressed them
selves In similar strain. None of them had
anticipated any other course, but there was
a general expression of relief from a COM
pilcation like that of four years ago, when
SeWall and Watson were both candidates
Tor the vice presidency. It was the general
opinion that the withdrawal will not alien
ate many popuists. and that 1t will increase
the chances of democratic success at the

THE DAIRY TYPE cow.
Instructive Figures Taken from the
Averages of a 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 $500 pounds under similar condi-
tions, says the Farm, Stock and Home.
When milk brings a dollar a 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 35 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 500. These
figures are taken from averages of a
herd for serieL 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 a flesh-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 con-
tract disease than is the spare cow.

oId-Fnshioned Dinners the Best.

Many people who are constantly try
ing to concoct new and tempting dishes
overstep the mark. People who eat
large quantities of the various pre-
served foods are not always the
strongest. The oldfashioned meal OF
roasted or boiled beef served up with
it's own juices, with two plain vege-
tables and pudding, was far more
wholesome than the eight-course din
ner which is served nowadays. Few
people know the true flavor of potatoes
or rice. In this country seasoning too
often means salt and pepper only. Peo-
pie in the eastern countries, especially
the Turks, make most delightful stews
and soups by using combination of
vegetables, cooking them slowly
enough to draw out the flavor. Elk
tracts and sauces prepared chemically,
and mustard and horseradish may be
taken now and then, perhaps to advan-
tage; but as a rule things OF this kind
should be avoided or used sparingly.

each hoop. They might be of cast iron,
but malleable are better, safer.
The lumber should be thoroughly
well 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 a 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.
Ensjlage originated from the felt
need of having 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

STITCH-IN-TIME BASKET.
Suggestions from q Careful House,
wife Which All HOusekeep-
ors Should Heed.

Mary Lowe Dickinson has good coun-
sci to offer her sisters who have the
care of household upon their shout
ders, says the Chicago Chronicle. When
the clothing comes from the laundry,
she says, confide such of it as needs
the "stitch in time" to the work bas-
ket. And by the work basket 1 do
not mean the little. basket that holds
the spool and thread and the light sew
ing material, but basket large enough
to hold whatever needs to be repaired
or whatever piece of unfinished work
may be on hand. Never let an unmend-
ed article get back into the drawer of
clothing that is ready for service.
And when the repairs have been
made place the fresh article at the bot
tom of it's own pile, using for your next
occasion the articles on the top of the
pile. In this way none of the clothing
will be allowed to remain in the drawer
until it becomes yellow from lack of
use, and the wear will be about equal
on all suits. One of our objects is to
dress well and at the same time to
avoid great accumulations of garments
too good to be thrown away and not
good enough for comfortable use, yet
endured for economy's sake.
Never fall into the mistake of sup
posing that it is of no Importance that
any garment be nice except those worn
in sight. Fineness of texture, dainti-
ness of trimmings, these can be dis
pensed with, but perfect cleanliness
and perfect Wilderness are indispensa-
bic. There is an intangible ethical in
fuence, or, as a good country mother
put it: "There is sight of good man
ners comes jest with bein' dressed up.
My children always behave better in
their best clothes" She was right.
The girl who ''don't care what she puts
on" doesn't care for some other things
that she ought not to forget.

HINTS FOR THE SEASON.
Bits of Domestic Lore That Are VAL
liable During the Clean
ing Period.

Raw linseed oil and spirits of turpen-
tine, in the proportions of two-thirds
oil and one of turpentine, make the
model furniture reviver. The wood
work should be first carefully wiped
off with a dry, soft cloth and the dust
thoroughly removed from corners and
carvings. The best article to accom-
plish this is large paint brush, usual
ly called painters buster. The oil
may then be applied with smaller
brush, wiping off with soft cloth and
rubbing thoroughly dry.
For carpets, just previous to their
storage, there is nothing better to keep
out moths than to sweep them with
salt-just of the ordinary common
dry salt. Particles of salt remain in
the carpet, and these keep out the
moths.
A canton flannel bag, made up with
the downy side out, is very good to slip
over the broom when busting walls
and woodwork. The bag is convenient
also for busting hardwood floors. For
this purpose dampen it slightly and
the floor may be kept clean long time
without washing.
Clean mirrors with warm soapsuds
and rinse with warm water and am
monia; then rub them over with whit
ing tied in piece of muslin and polish
with chamois skin.
Pals and tubs may be kept from
warping by painting them with gly-
cerin.
To clean linoleum without washing,
remove all the dust, then take a bit of
flannel sprinkled with parafin and rub
the inoleum. 1t will not only make
it appear like new, but will preserve it.

GRADING UP A HERD.
Some Highly Instructive Figures
Which Show what Feed and
Management VIII Do.

In the grading up of a herd, expert
ment station work has shown that
proper care and feeding count for
much in milk production and may do
much to improve the milking quail
ties of otherwise poor cows. Conse-
quently, before COW is rejected it
should be determined that the fault
for low production lies with the cow
herself. and not with the feed and
care she has received. AT the Kansas
experiment station herd of 20 COM
mon scrub cows, which "were below
the average cows of the state" were
tested to see what could be made Of
them by proper handling. The aver
age yield of milk per cow under such
handling was 5.7o7 pounds, the poor
est cow giving 1858 pounds; and the
average yield of butter fat was 23S
pounds, the poorest cow giving 1887
pounds. The value of the butter fat
averaged $37.75 per cow. To compare
this with the conditions in the state.
the records were collected of 50 herds
in one of the leading dairy sections.
he dFcIdSc ylClu was 1ouho
to be 3,441 pounds of milk per COW,
and 104.3 pounds of butter fat. the
value of which was SOTO.
The greatest yield secured from the
scrub herd is attributed by the sta
ton to three causes: First, at all
times their rations were either bal
anced or contained an excess of pro-
tein-the material which builds blood
and milk = while the Kansas COW
usually, when on dry feed, has only
half enough protein. Second, kind
ness and shelter. Our scrub cows
were petted, comfortably sheltered.
never driven faster than a slow walk,
and never spoken to in an unkind
tone. Third, full milk yield was Sc
cured through the summer drought
by giving extra feed.-Ohio Farmer.

THE CLOUD VOLCANO.

Dark rose the rugged peak toward the
west,
With dun clouds wrapped around its sable
crest,
While here and there in deep ravines be-
Were feecy drifts of curved and carven
snow;
A picture full of solemn somber power
Limned on the sky at sunsets quiet hour.
Eruptions of red fire, which famed and
seemed
An outburst of the pent-up fires below.
Some running lava-like Ger drifts of
snow,
Some rising in mighty lurid pyre
Unto high Heaven to kindle and aspire.
On the cloud mountain side there opened
seams
Such as Satanic imps might see in
dreams,
Glimpses of furnace fires from awful
Sometimes in sullen glow which slowly
creepS
In mighty currents, crimson tinted tides
Which Ger all obstacles with red power
strides.
And there were glowing caves with en-
berS trimmed,
Deep, fathomless ravines by black smoke
dimmed,
While bonfires famed and kindled up
AS though the fiends in hell cut windows
through,
That they might note and mock with
ghouliSh mirth
The scenes such lurid lights revealed on
earth.
Only the Clouds but they seemed shaped
and wrought
BY some great artist stepped in somber
thought
Who wished to show how small earth's
burning hills
Beside these peaks beribboned with red
riilS
Of fire intense in mighty plan and play,
In scenic splendor stretching far away
Through unspanned spaces, etched on
twilight gray.
