WANTS ANOTHER MINISTER.
Henry Brooks Mother Will Have
Him Baptized.

MIN bnptIEed.
The mother of Henry Brooks, I'M
der death sentence for the murder of
Patrolman Harry B. Fender. called at
the county Jail yesterday and learned
of the postponement of the baptizing
of her son from Jailer Seyden. She
was notified that Rev. Prince Black,
who has been administering to her con-
demned son, has not put in an appear
ance since he was turned down with
his delegation of deacons and assist
ants.
Jailer Seyden told the Brooks wo-
man what had happened and advised
her to secure another minister, and
have her son baptized. She did NOT
appear pleased at the manner in
which Rev. Black had acted and SEEM
ed disappointed when told that he has
not been to the Jail since he was turn
ed down. The old woman told both
her son and Jailer Seyden that she in
tends to get some other minister to
baptize him this week.

and levers into play that depressed the

inclination and traversed it.
Handling the Gum.
Then the electrical gear was thrown
out, and that for manipulation of the
piece by labor connected. This is de-
signed for use should anything happen
to the electrical plant to render it in
operative. A gang of the colOred en-
ployes attached themselves to either of
two handles and the gun was depress-
ed and elevated. II was not moved
with nearly the Tapidity that was
shown by the electrical power, but it
was clear enough that it was subject
to manipulation in either way. Then
the laborers traversed the gun, an
exercise that brought the perspiration,
despite the GOODNESS of the atmosphere.
Maj. MacNutt and Mr.. Leander held
stop watches, catching the time re-
quired for every operation. while Mr..
Darling held his watch and kept care

now and again with the showing that
was made.
Then followed the most interesting
features of the test. Out from the mag
azine were trundled the loaded shells
or torpedoes. The crews consisted If

yet the time made was satisfactory,
cutting that of the specifications al
most in half.
Fifteen Inch CaIiber.
The caliber of the gun is fifteen
inches 1t is a smooth bore, though
the torpedoes fired from it are given
a rotary motion that they might re-
ceve if fired from a rifled gun. The
motion is secured through means of
wings or fianges to the rear of the
torpedo. They do not begin their
work until the torpedo has left the
gun Then they cause a rotary mo-
ton -beg:sr gradually, finally dwell
oping many revolutions to the second.
The danger that would follow from the
firing of such a torpedo, loaded with
nitro gelatin. from a rifled bore is
thus obliterated. So violent would be
the friction caused by a rifed bore
that the charge would probably ex-
plode before leaving the gun. The
shell would revolve, but the charge
would not. When the rotary motion
begins in it's flight, it is so gradual
that danger of the explosion of the
shell is removed.
Beneath the gun is tank that has
a pressure of 1000 pounds to the square
inch and it is from this that the ali
for firing is directly received. The fir
ing reservoir, together with the cham
bers and connections of the gun, has
a capacity of $50 cubic feet. When
the firing lever is pulled rs pounds OF

Clay Floor for Dairy Cows.

Where one uses the ordinary STAN
chion for fastening dairy cows, we
doubt whether the clay floor can be i'm
proved upon, writes Edward Montgom-
cry to the Epitomist. A trough behind
the COWS is provided for the excrement.
On the hard, level clay floor that reach
es from stanchion to gutter or trough,
wide plank is placed parallel to the
trough, and close up to it, to catch
what manurial matter fails to reach the
trough. This is done as a protection to
the clay, for the usefulness, perfection
and durability of clay floor depends
upon its being kept dry. In making the
floor, the moist clay should be well
pounded in order to harden and solidify
it, and the floor should be permitted to
thoroughly dry before it is put to use,
and kept dry. To no class of live stock
does any kind Of floor seem so accept
able as that of earth-nature's floor;
and if the earth is of the right kind and
treated in the right way in making the
floor, it will usually prove the best floor
Of any, and the least costly.

Feeding Hay to Hogs.

AS rule farmers are not accustomed
to feeding hay to hogs, but the Kansas
station reports that better results were
obtained from feeding alfalfa hay and
Kaffir corn to hogs than from Kafir
corn only. The hay was fed dry, in
forkfuls, and the pigs were given an
abundance. They picked out the leaves
and finer stems, rejecting the coarser
portions. 1t was demonstrated that
pork could be produced cheaply by
putting the hogs on pasture in Summer
and feeding hay in the Winter, allow
ing proportion of grain during severe
ly cold weather.
1t has long been known that when
clover hay is cut very fine and scalded,
leaving the mess over night and sprink
ling it with bran and corn meal, 1t is q
very complete ration and costs much
less than grain. Pigs that are fed on
grass grow more rapidly than when
given grain exclusively, although an
allowance o. grain is always an advan-
tage.
