BOY rooK 1900 VOLTS.

Well.

Resuscitated and In a Fair Way to Get
Well.
Walter Budds, 9 years old, had a cur
rent from an electric cable carrying
10000 volts of electricity pass through
his body recently. That he was not
killed is considered miraculous, but the
physicians at the Hartford hospital,
where the boy is now suffering from
the effects of the shock say that he will
recover, says the Hartford Courant.
Young Budds started out with Johnnie
Farrell and Willie Cosgrove, young
chums of his, to see the circus parade.
They went to Main street near the
tunnel and after waiting for some
time without the parade's coming in
sight, they got uneasy. On Albany ave.
nue., just above the Main street juno
ton, the Hartford Electric Light COM
pany has a terminal tub through
which the cables that bring the electric
current in from the Pennington river
pass into the underground system of
the company. One of the boys sug-
gested that they climb upon the roof
OF the terminal tub to see If the parade
was coming down Albany avenue.
They made a run for the tub. A lad
der stood in the rear of the tub, and
the tub is built several feet above the
surface of the ground. Young Budds
was in advance of the others. He was
the first to mount the ladder and as
he climbed up the rounds he turned to
the other boys and said that he could
get to the top first. The parade was
not in sight and that he might have
a better view of the surroundings he
reached from the top of the tub to
one of the cables with the heavy volt
age for the purpose of pulling himself
onto the pole which carried the cables
down through the tub. In taking hold
of the cable he instantly connected
himself with the electric current. His
feet were jerked from beneath him.
his body became rigid and blue flames
shot out from the cables underneath
the boys hands. What appeared to
the big crowd to, have been a dead
boy was brought back to life, and then
the little fellow was taken to the Hart
ford hospital in an unconscious condi-
ton. He was very weak on being re-
ceived at the institution, but during
the afternoon he gained more strength
and had a long sleep. Both his hands
were badly burned and the index fin
ger OF his left hand was burned off.

porturars Plethora of Money.

Portugal is suffering from a plethora
OF money just now. Not gold, of
course; nor silver; but copper. So vast
is the supply of this inferior metal
that ordinary people are exceedingly.
chary of changing such few gold coins
as they may come into possession Of.
The copper coinage is big and cumber-
some, and it is also deprecated, SO
that, in order to avoid being burdened
with it, it has become the custom, in
the larger cities at all events, to use
street car tickets as currency. In the
provinces postage stamps are made to
serve a similar purpose. Meanwhile
the government at Lisbon goes on Sc
renely minting the obnoxious coins
which nobody will use-at the rate Of
some so tons a month.

TO FOIL CHECK RAISER.
New Scheme for Preventing Any Alter
ations in Checks.

More than 0,000, 900, 900 of checks
are used annually in the United States.
and of this amount something like 49,
600 are raised" the loss falling on The
drawer, for the drawer of a check is
chargeable with the amount paid on it,
provided his signature is genuine, no
matter for what amount he ha pre-
viously filed it in. Many devices have
been planned for foiling the check
raiser, but the security check is the
most perfect protection the ingenuity
of man has yet unfolded. The check
has been briefly described as follows:
ION the left of the check is printed the
safeguarding schedule. The words di-
recting the payment of money are
qualified by the following printed into
the body of the paper: Provided
amount does not exceed that expressed
in words and figures at end of sched-
ule.' After the drawer has written in
the amount of money to be paid he adj
justs a small paper cutter to that line
of the upper half of the schedule
which bounds the maximum amount to
be paid in dollars, tens, hundreds, or
thousands. and tears off the check
down as far as the small ring in the
center of the schedule. Then he re-
wolves his ruler, adjusting it to that
line of the lower half of the schedule
which bounds the number of dollars,
tens of dollars, hundreds or thousands,
to be paid, and then completes tearing
the check from the stub along that
line. This leaves in the hands of the
drawer the check absolutely safe
guarded from alteration, for the left
hand margin expresses in words and
figures the amount not exceeding
which it has been drawn"
The device is used by scores of banks
and by hundreds of prominent firms,
although it has been before the public
but a short time. 1t is used not only
on checks but also notes, receipts,
drafts, bills of lading, and other pa
pers, and is suited for use of money
orders and tickets.

provides for compensation for the
services of such a tester. The law also
provides that once in six months the
director of the Hatch experiment sta
ton, or his authorized agent, shall in
spect at the expense of the owners all
centrifugal or other machines used by
any person, firm or corporation, or by
any agent or employee thereof, for the
testing of milk or cream in fixing the
value thereof; and the director of the
experiment station or his authorized
agent shall cause all such machines to
be put in condition to obtain accurate
results with the Babcock test or other
tests, at the expense of the owners
thereof. Such machines may be re-
placed by new ones at the option of
the persons to whom they belong.
Still another provision OF the law re-
quires that all persons who enjoy the
Babcock test to determine the butter
fat contained in milk shall first secure
a certificate from the director of the
Hatch station that he or she is COM
petent to perform such work.
The director is also authorized to
test farmers samples of milk or cream
by the Babcock method, the cost in
each case to be paid by the farmer.
The penalty for violating any of the
provisions of the law is $25 for the
first ofense and not more than $50 for
each subsequent offense.

Pennsylvania is the latest state that
is trying to encourage and regulate
marriage by new methods. Represen-
tative Roth of Lehigh, introduced a bill
in the state legislature lately which
provides that a male citizen of Penn
.sylvania over forty years old, making
application for a marriage license shall
pay to the clerk of courts a license of
500. This is to be turned into the
state treasury for the purpose of main
tanning homes for women over forty
years old, who have not had a suitable
opportunity or offer of marriage and
have not means sufficient to keep
themselves in clothes and spending
money. Any bachelor over forty years
old who shall go outside of the state
for a wife shall pay 500 into the
state treasury. The act is irrevocab,e
and can W be repealed without the
consent of the majority of the old wo-
men who have been regularly admitted
to the homes established for them.

however, of the past three years has
drawn heavily on the Arizona horse
ranges, and prices have risen. Army
buyers are paying from s25 to S55 and

1t requires more care than skill in
feeding the brood SOW. 1t is impor-
tant that the milk supply be increased
in proportion to the increased capacity
of the pigs TO consume it. If the SOW
be fed too much when the pigs are
young, too much milk is taken by them
and "scours" or diarrhoea is the re-
suit, while If not enough is given, when
the pigs become older they fail to grow
as they should, and it must be remem-
bered that it is extremely doubtful
whether any pig that is stunted in its
growth when young ever pays for its
feed.

Galveston is arranging for a large sup

be used in fighting mosquitoes. The oil
will be distributed in all the stagnant
pools in the city, sprinkled on the sur
face of water in the cutters, and dis
tributed free to owners of open els

of their respective breeds. In honest
ignorance many of them are inficting

that they have bought their stock from
persons who, like themselves, had new
er seer the best of the breed, or from
breeders who, against their own in
terest and the dictates of their con-
sciences, sold them their "culls" be-
cause they were not willing to pay
more than "culI" prices:

The average yield of wheat in Eng

The average yield of wheat in Eng
land is about 80 bushels to the acre.
In the United States it is less than
half that. The difference represents
difference in methods. American
methods are slowly changing in the
direction of the English methods as
to wheat raising. 1t is therefore log
ical to figure on a greatly increased
wheat production from American
soils, in the future.

Notes by Ruf Jersey.

Last week we attended a Farmers
institute in McDonohue county. Hold
ing a meeting at this time of the year
was an experiment with these people.
The meeting was a good one and the
program an interesting one. Beet cul-
ture, small fruits, ensilage, the or
chard and hog breeding were some of
the papers read. En- route We saw
evidences of the very dry weather in
clover, oats and hay crops, timothy
heading out six and eight inches high
and oats turning brown. 1t stands
farmers in hand to study the best
methods for securing their corn crops
to make the best and largest mount
of food when their hay lands are so
improbable. At Cedar Hill Farm we
have put the pillow in all of our sod
land and feel We are doing the right
thing in so doing. Peas and oats, oats,
fax and millet. soy beans, southern
peas, all turn off more feed per acre
than u clover or timothy meadows,
and all of above crops are rich in
protein and also assist in keeping
up fertility of the soil.
Last week we put our COWS on grass
and did so without having any of the
first grass effects-soft butter or COWS
losing in milk flow. We began by
turning them out late in the morning
after receiving their ensilage and
grain feed and returning them to sta
bic early in afternoon, where they
again got ensilage and grain. After
following this up for a few days they
were finally allowed to return to pas
ture after evening milking, staying
there till morning, receiving only
grain in stable night and morning.
We will continue this plan till our
daily milk record shows US that the
grass is getting short, when we will
open our summer silo of corn and
feed twice a day in stable.
The individual milk record of a herd
shows us some things but little
thought of by the average dairyman.
Take my trip to the Institute spoken
of at beginning of this article as an
example. l missed only n milking,
that of evening. My string OF COWS
number ten. Ny boys MIXED their
cows at the usual hour and then
MIXED mine, which was about forty
five minutes later than was their habit
of being MIXED by me. The late hour
saved my ten from shrinking that
night, but the next morning they
shrank from one to three pounds each,
and again at night lost. My boys
COWS also lost from the fact that they
were hurriedly MIXED the evening /
was away. 1t took from Thursday
morning to Friday evening to get the
herd back to their normal work, just
from one set of cows being changed
from their habitual way. The milk
sheet shows in pounds and ounces
gains and losses right through the year
that without the record we would not
notice, and but few of these changes
come but that we can trace the cause.
