slept so soundIy that when Warden
Mead went to the cell shortly before 5
o'clock the guard inside had to shake
the prisoner to awaken him. He sat
1pon the edge OF his cot and made no
reply to the warden's greeting OF good
morning
The prison official took from his pock-
Il the death warrant and read it SLOWLY
and distinctly to the assassin, who
hardly raised his eyes during the per

HIM a pair Of dark trousers, with the

up and pnt these on, which be did. Con-
trarv to the usual cuatoln. be was given

attitude Superintendent Collins found
him at 80, when te went down to

Tae superintendent stood IN front OF

"Wel, YOU cannot, said the super

Then | won talk at all said the
prisoner, sulienly.
After the superintendent had left the
guards brought Czolgosz's breakfast.
In the chamber, Electrician Davis,
and ex. Warden Thayer, of pannemora,
had arranged the chair test, placing 3
bank Of - incandescent lights across
the arms and connecting the electrode
wires at either end. The witnesses
were ordered seated.

head was erect, and with his gray fan
mel shirt turned back at the neck, he
looked quite boyish. He was intensely
pale and a. lie tried to throw bis head
back and carry himself erect, his
chin quverel very perceptbly.
AS he was being seated be looked
about at the assembled witnesses with
quite steady stare, and said

His voice trembIed slightly at first,
but gained strength with each word,
and he spoke perfect Eng ish.

SAID loudly, Just as the guard pushed
his bead back on the rubber headrest
and drew the strap across his forehead
and chin. As the pressure on the straps
tightened and bound the jaw tightly, be
mumbIed

1t was just exactly I'll O'Clock when
he crossed the threshold, but a minute
had elapsed, and he had finished the
last statement, when the strapping was
completed, and the guards stepped
back. Warden Mead raised his hand,
and at 7:12 30 Electrician Davis turned
the switch that threw 100 volts OF
electricity into the living body.
The clothing and personal effects OF
the prisoner were burned under the d.

Tidal swamps or salt marshes are
prominent feature in nearly all our
states which border the Atlantic or IA
citic oceans. y few years ago much
was heard about their rcclamaj ion.
Their value as farming lands was clear
~ shown, and the fact that they were
a serious menace to the health of pco-
pie in the vicinity was dWet upon.
In European countries salt marshes
are regarded as the most fertile of
lands. Large areas in Holland, Den
mark, Germany and Belgium have been
cultivated for many years. In England

than 100000 acres have been dkcd

There are wen established methods in

SMALL POTATOES.
Different Views of Their Value ns
Food For Cows.

HOardS Dairyman says Of small pO-
tatoes as food for cows that twenty
pounds per day is generally accepted
as the maximum amount that should
be fed. If small potatoes are fed, they
should be carefully cut into angular
pieces to avoid danger of choking. Fed
in this amount, it is not considered
that they will appreciably affect the
quality of the milk. They should not
be cooked for cows, but for swine
should be cooked and mixed with meal.
We should much prefer feeding them
to swine, and for this purpose four and
one-half pounds of potatoes are equiv.
alent to one pound of ground corn"
Commenting on the foregoing, Amer
lean Cultiyator says: ITO the first two
statements we do not object. The 9th
ers, we think. are all wrong, and we
write from results of our own expert
ence. To give a COW twenty pounds Of
potatoes a day. small or large, will
make a thin. watery milk. and small
ones more SO than large ones, because
many of them are unripe. If we fed
that amount of potatoes, we would add
not less than two quarts of cornmeal
to the daily grain ration to keep the
milk up to the standard unless the COW
was very near to coming in fresh, in
which case it would probably remove
some of the viscous or sticky proper
ties of the milk.
