THE LATEST SNAKE STORY.-Word
OF remarkable Dismal Swamp snake
story, the result of which was the death
o! Grant Wilkins, a negro, reached suf-
folk, Va, yesterday evening. The
victim was literally choked to death 10
bis sleep by long black snake. Will
kius, whose home wss 10 North Caro-
linz, had stsr,ed through the swamp
alone to look after shingle timber. The
weather being warm, he sat down by
a big juniper tree to refrssh himself and
fell asleep. When found wilkins was
dead. Nearly three feet of live snake
we're prOlTUdng from his mouth. BY
his side were an empty beer bottle and
3 sardiue box, remnant Of his luncheon.
Wikins's neck was swooleu, his eyes
protru1ed, and an expression of agony
was ca bis face. 1t took the strength
of three men to pull the snake from the
corpse. Is head and two feet OF the
body were inside. Tie reptile was
killed. 1t is supposed that Wilkins
was sleeping with his mouth open and
the snake took 1t for hole that needed
investigation. Another theory is that
the snake was attracted by ssTdines.

BUTTER IN BRICKS.

Grocers and other retailers of but
ter buy good deal of that commodity
by the tub, and sell it in small quanti-
ties. In order to save time when sew
eral customers are waiting, it would
be an advantage to have the stuff cut
up in advance into one or two pound
bricks. Anticipating a rush, many
grocers put sugar and tea up in ready
made parcels. But each lot is care
fully weighed out by itself. An in
genious western inventor has thought
of a way to cut a tub of butter up into
blocks on the wholesale plan.
For this work machine is used, a

be slipped up and down and entirely
removed from the uprights. This is
done at the beginning of the opera
tions. A tub of butter is turned out
on the criss cross wooden block, pains
being taken to keep 1t square and
even. Then on one Of the corner
posts is temporarily hinged vertical
frame, containing three horizontal
wires tightly stretched one above the
other. BY swinging this frame side
ways slowly and steadily the wires
will cut the mass of butter into four
layers. The uppermost is very thin
and don't count. The others are Of
uniform thickness. The first cut is
now detached from the machine, and
the other frame fitted on over the four
posts. This is forced downward stead
lily until the wires have cut to the bot
tom, and then raised again. By turn
ing the wooden block quarter way
round, and repeating the cutting oper-
alton, the butter will be reduced to
blocks of the desired shape. It is
claimed that the wires can be adjust
ed so as to vary the weight from half
q pound to two pounds. A gauge
shows how to set them. The imper-
feet bricks may be packed in mold
furnished with the machines, which,
when full, is overturned on the board
and two cuts are made with the frame
to produce 10 more bricks. How far
the well known difference in the dens-
ity Of butter would Offset the weight
of the bricks is nice question.-N.

calves Raised on skim min.

We know that we can raise as good
calves upon skimmilk as upon the
whole milk. for We have done it. We
have taken the calf from the COW when
a day old and fed her milk for a week or
ten days. and then began to mix skim
milk with the new milk until three
weeks old twas using all skimmilk, in
which was put little cornmeal por-
ridge or cruel, taking care to always
have it Of the same temperature as the
new milk, and then beginning at about
four weeks old, or even earlier, tolput q
little clover rowen, or the best fine hay
where the calf could nibble at it. Some
calves will do this much sooner than
sthers. Cincinnati Commercial. 81

because of it's immense growth when
all conditions are favorable. 1t has
been grown successfully in portions
of nearly every state in the union.
Alfalfa is valuable in permanent
pasture. as it lasts for eight and ten
years, as the roots often penetrate
the soil to depth of ten feet, though
usually about half this depth.
1t requires rich, loose soil with q
porous subsoil. The ground should
be plowed deep and then finely pull
verified, and be free of weed seed as
possible, for during the first year the
plant is very delicate. Hence it is
best tosow on land that has been oc.
cupied by a well-cultivated plant. It
is sown broadcast or by suitable drill.

acre. When sown for hay more seed

seed is sown in the spring after all

Great Britain continues to be by
far the most attractive market for
the surplus dairy products Of the
United States. That country has
more than doubled its imports of
butter within 10 years, as to both
quantity and value. It now buys an
nually about $4,000 tons Of butter,
at cost OF more than $50 1000, 900.
Every year the United Kingdom re-
quires 10000 tons of butter more
than the. year before to meet the
steadily increasing demand. This is
evidently the market for whatever
butter the United States has to spare,
always provided that it is good
enough in quality to satisfy the Brit
