Nebraska's Senators.

The election of the two senators In
Nebraska will give satisfaction to the
Republicans of the entire country.
Governor Charles II. Dietrich and
Joseph II. Millard, the persons who
have been chosen, are able and worthy
men. Both stand high in the social
and business life of their community
Both are popular among all parties.
Until 1900, the year in which Nebraska
was carried by Mckinley and Dietrich,
that state has been going Democratic
and Demo-Populist for several years.
Until that year Dietrich had never fig
urea with any prominence in politics.
NGillard is also new in the political
field. AS the election of none of the
men more conspicuously mentioned for
senators was possible. the Nebraska
Republicans turned to others who had
made no antagonisms. The indications
are that they have made n wise choice.

years old, looked and acted a great deal
like steers, and nothing is more pleas
ing to me than to have heifer be-
tween 1 and 2 years old grow large,
strong and beefy provided she carries
large paunch. 1 have had two that
did not carry the large paunch which
nevertheless put on meat and fat and
then grew to good size, but were not
worth 10 cents for milk cows. 1 am
inclined to believe that until they are
year old they want to be kept in as
thrifty condition as possible, but not
too fat. 1 am inclined to believe that
if allowed all the whole milk they will
take they will not develop along the
best lines, but do think if the feed is
warm skimmilk, oats, bran and oil

Chalk Wonders.

Few people know what a wonderful
object a bit of chalk is when 4exams
ined under a microscope. = TakeIyour3
knife blade and scrape off a littleSofI
the loose powder, catch it on a clean
glass slide and place this on the stage,
of a good table microscope. Use "a
quarter inch objective lens and illumi-,
nate the field with cone of light from
the concave side Of the reflector. The
powder will be seen to consist of a
confused mass of beautiful tiny shells,
many of them of the most curious
form.
A better way, however, is to rub
down a portion of chalk with an old
toothbrush in tumbler half filled with
water. If you desire to prepare sew
eral slides, rub on about a teaSpoonful
of the powder. Shake the tumbler
briskly, allow the sediment to settle for
a moment and then carefully pour off
the milky looking water.
Repeat this until the water remains
clear, and you will then have left in
the bottom only perfect shells or large
parts of shells. Take up small pinch
of this deposit and spread it carefully,
over the center of glass slide. Dry,
over a lamp and, if you wish to pre-
serve the slide for future use, mount it
in Canada balsam, pressing out the
bubbles of air beneath the cover glass.

[,7|lAlIN I E1E|
F7vSllA1IRY)

Cows should be sailed regularly or,
better still, should have constant ac-
cess to salt, says George e. Newell in
American Cultivator.
The practice of sailing them once
week is not good one, as most cattle
will lick little salt every day if they
can get it.
Thus provided, they will yield more
and better milk than otherwise and will
also maintain a better degree Of health.
AS salt provokes thirst, the milk ami
NAL should have as free access to wa
ter as to the saline mineral or the lat
ter will do her more harm than good.
Speaking of salt leads me to say
that some failures in dairy butter MAX
ing | have noted came about by sailing
the cattle and the butter out of the
same barrel.
In other words, coarse insoluble salt
was used for the butter when only the
highest and most refined grade should
be employed.
Salt that is not soluble will not per-
meate the substance of butter evenly,
and thus rancidity may be induced
Again, grains of salt in butter al
ways detract from it's appearance and
are inimical to even flavor, from these
causes alone lowering it's market value.
Let me say, here that there are today
just as fine grades of American dairy
salt produced as come from England.
American milk cattle fed on Ameri-
can grass produce butter sailed with
American salt that is the peer Of any
on earth and is so conceded in foreign
markets.
In attaining this result, however, one
must utilize the best Of everything,
thinking not that, poor or cheap mate
rial can be introduced with impunity to
future quality.
I knew a dairyman once who, in q
spasm of economy (0, sought to save
so cents by purchasing a cheaper grade
of salt than was his wont and later lost
on his shipment of butter thereby ST.
It was one of the most effective les
sons he could have been taught in prac-
teal dairying, eXemplifying as it did
that cheap material always produces
cheap quality. When it comes to
cheesemaking, salt holds just as i'm
portant a position as in other dairy
lines-i. e., that solubility and purity
are highly necessary.
The relation of salt, be it understood,
to all phases of dairying is highly i'm
portant one, and because this fact is so
little appreciated accounts for many
dairy failures.

Death.

Man Sees His Wife and Child Burned 20
Albany, n. Y, Sept. "a frightful
fate befell the family Of Wilbur Alex
ander, a large contractor of this city.
A naphtha launch exploded on the
Hudson river at '.The Abbey mile
and half below this city, killing Mrs.
Alexander and her little daughted and
burning Wilbur Alexander and his
son, Wilbur Alexander, Jr., in a hor-
rible manner.
The accident was the termination Of
a days outing on the river. Mr. Alex
ander took his wife and their son and
daughter for a trip south from this
city. On the journey home Mr.. Alex
ander was taken ill. He ran the launch
into d side cut near ''The Abbey" The
launch was tied near the shore The
son, II years old, went to give some
medicine to his father, who was lying
in the stern of the launch. The boy
carried lantern and as he passed the
tank containing the naphtha an ex-
plosion occurred, scattering the blaz-
ing fluid in every direction, setting fire
to the launch.
Mrs. Alexander and her daughter
were near the tank and their bodies
were completely covered with the
burning oil. The son jumped into the
water when the explosion took place.
Mr.. Alexander rushed to the assistance
Of his wife and daughter, but they
were burned to death before his eyes.
He was at length cmpelled to jump
into the river to save himself. The
bodies of the wife and daughter were
burned to a crisp and the launch was
entirely consumed. Mr.. Alexander and
his son were severely burned about
the head and body. 1t is believed Mr..
Alexander will die. The boy, though
badly burned, will recover.

AT TIE DUouEsNE CARNEGIE PLANT
Strikers Say They VIII Tie 1t Up Sure-All
the Ladle Men Stay Out.

Pittsburg, Sept. 2.-The principal in
terest in strike matters yesterday was
centered in the Duquesne plant, where
it was expected the strikers would
make a decided move toward closing
down the entire works. The report
from there last night said that the
situation was critical. The two boss
meters and all first helpers went to
work as usual yesterday morning, and
all twelve furnaces We're charged. Only
one second helper went in, and all
ladle men stayed out. The strikers
made thorough house-to-hOuse can
vass of open-hearth men all day. At
p. M, time for helpers and ladle men
to go on, pickets were on duty on the
streets and turned back three ladle
men.
The night turn was badly crippled,
but men were brought from the Bes-
Semer department to help out, and the
mill was running full. Sixty of the
day turn men were Off.
If the Open-hearth is shut down the
forty-inch mill must also shut down.
This mill supplies Monessen, Wander
grift and the tin mills, hence the move
ment is important to the strikers. Mill
officials admitted that strike was on,
but said no serious results would fol-
low. Thirty coal and iron police were
brought from Braddock, and the night
and day borough police, with four ex-
tras, were on duty.
A conservative estimate of the
amount Of strike benefits that are to
be paid by the Amalgamated Associa-
ton to its striking members now idle
has been placed at $4,000 every week.
This is basing the number of benefici-
aries at 10000 with the average pay
ment to a member at 81 q week. Sec
rotary Williams declares there will be
plenty of money to care for all the
striking members, and in cases where
the 81 is not enough for the care of a
member and his family more will be
given.

Cleveland, Sept. 3.-Angry floods
swept over a district eight miles long
and mile and a half wide in the
best part of this city, doing immense
damage to property. The deluge was
due to unprecedented rainfall, accom-
panied by cloudburst. The precipita-
ton was the greatest in the history
Of the city, amounting to 4.2S inches
in fourteen hours. At night, after a
brief respite, rain began falling again,
and further damage is feared.
Costly residences in the fashionable
quarter were speedily inundated, and
the panic-stricken occupants were ia
ken out in boats. Not only were the
living driven from their homes, but the
turbulent waters ravaged two ceme-
teries. tearing out the collins and toss
ing them and their contents into the
wreckage, which represents a property
loss of $1,OOO,OOO. Streets, bridges,
railway lines, telegraph and telephone
poles fell before the terrific onslaught.
