ATTEHPT TO BREAK JAIL.
They Cut the Bolt, But Fail to Force
the Door Open.

When Deputy Sheriff Burdett
went to give the prisoners their
breakfast Tuesday morning he
found a surprise awaiting him.
The prisoners had cut the bolts
which held the lower bar to the
door and after removing the bar
used it to try to force the door
open. The upper bar passes
through the lever box in such a
way that the prisoners could not
get at it and they were unable
to spring the door out more than
about two inches, consequently
they failed to get out of the cage.
Messrs. Wattron, Jackson, and
Potter assisted Sheriff Secrist
and Jailer Burdett in making a
search of the Jail for the tools
used by the prisoners. The pri-
soners were all removed to the
wOmans cell and a thorough
examination made in the cage.
1t was found that the heads of
the bolts had been cut with a
saw which was made from the
steel removed from the shank of
an old shoe, after failing in their
purpose the SAW had been broken
up into small pieces and stuffed
into a small crack in a joint be-
tween two steel plates. A care
full search was made for any
other tools which might be left
in the cage but nothing else was
found.
After the door was repaired
by Mr.. Armbruster the prisoners
were brought in singly and each
one carefully searched before be-
ing returned to the cage.
We are fortunate in having
such a good jail, the double bars
to the door and supreme strength
of the door itself frustrated this
plan of escape which they have
probably been working on for
the past two weeks.

TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

The Importance of healthy cows
and sound milk cannot be over-esti-
mated. Too little attention has been
given to the matter in the past.
Butter may look nice, have the cor
rect grain and be sailed to taste, still
il it lacks flavor or has bad flavor
it sells at reduced price, if at all. 1t
is the fine flavor in butter that all
seek after.
The farmer who has a milk check
coming in every month will tell you
that it is great aid in producing
sound and natural sleep, for it re-
leves the worry of how to meet the
current expense bills for the house
hold.
Are you testing those cows you are
now milking? Do you know the star
boarler?" You wouldn't put up with
a. hired hand who failed to earn you
profit on his wages; then why dc
you persist in throwing away valua-
BILE feed on an Improbable COW?
If you are i'm the dairy business to
! stay, there is more than one reason
for raising your own calves. You
can not only develop the best milking
strains in this way, but you can be
more sure OF having quiet and gentle
| cows.-Nebraska Farmer.

cows or Tor the same COW on success
sive days. 3. The percentage of fat
or of other solids is not always high
est in the smaller yields, but cows
that give milk with a high per cent.
of solids generally show low total
yield. 4. Fat is the most variable
constituent of milk, and it's variations
are independent of those of the
other solids; therefore, the yield
of milk is better intedx of the
other solids than it is of the fat. s.
AS regards the first and last milk
drawn, the proportion OF solids not
fat is higher in the first, but the pro-
portion of fat is decidedly greater in
the last. 9. Neither day time nor
night time is shown to be superior as
a milk-producing period. Z. Different
cows differ in their power to make
milk from food, and the same cow
varies in this respect from time TO
time. 8. Aside from the influence OF
food or environment, each animal eX-
hibits individual variations of her
own, and such variations tend ia
show something like periodicity in
the separate functional activities OF
the animal body.

Ground Feed for steers.

One of the most successful cattle
feeders in my neighborhood tells me
that he can make 800 bushels of corn
ground with the cob produce more
beef on his steers and as much gain
in his hogs as will follow the use of
1000 bushels Of shelled corn fed un-
ground. He further makes the claim
in favor of SO grinding the feed that
his cattle may be put upon full feed
at once, that their digestion remains
in perfect condition and that they
may be finished for market in less
time. This is pretty broad claim
and will bear investigation by all eat
tie feeders. The ground cob, it is
claimed, takes place of hay to some
extent and the corn will digest bet

below the lower edge of the box, and

by person having key to the box.
OF course, when the carrier stops and
opens the box he shoves the signal

QUALITY OF BUTTER.

from Day to Day.

At the agricultural station at
tached to the Illinois university, a
test was conducted last year for the
special object of studying the varia-
tions in the yield and quality of milk
obtained from a number of cows
specially selected for the purpose,
and the results obtained were very
curious, and in many respects very
conflicting. The experiment lasted
for period of close on year. AS an
outcome Of the results obtained dur
ing the period the officials having
charge of the researches came to the
following conclusions: /. The yield
of milk from different cows under
the same conditions differs greatly
and that from the same COW varies
greatly from day to day. 2. The com
position of milk is highly variable;
the ratio of the fat to other solids
and that of other solids to water are
not constant as between different

M. Mule preceding BUSINESS.

We are Of opinion that mule breeding
has been too much neglected in the
south and perhaps elsewhere. The
mule is really the most useful draft
animal on the farm and by far the
most Economical. For real rough
farm work mules are better than
horses. They are not quite so speedy
as horses, but there is much blowing
on every farm that cannot be done
both rapidly and well, and for steady
pulling at uniform speed the mule
has no equal. They are harder and
more easily kept and more cheaply fed
than horses, and when grown for mar
ket they are always ready sale at
higher prices than farm horses. Large
mares and well bred jacks are needed
to produce mules that will bring $500
at two years old.-Farm and Ranch.
