An effort is being made by com mittee of the Newtown Fire Company to raise a sufficient sum of money to buy hand fire pump and some hose:
 It is thought by persons capable of
 judging that with good pump, such as it is intended buying, and hose, sufficient protection would be afforded to guard against any extended confla- grafton and even to put out fires in their early stages. It is desired to raise $500 and of this amount little Through the generous offer of W. T. Cole, the superintendent of the Fabric
 Fire Hose Co.,, the purchasing com
 mittee of the NewtOwn Fire Co. will!
 be enabled to buy with $500 a splendid
 hand pump, hose reel and several hundred feet of hose. Every property
 holder within reach of this appa aratus is vitally interested, for with the insur- ance rates constantly going up and companies withdrawing because of no fire protection it will soon be matter of necessity. The Newtown Fire Co: has been organized and is composed Of vicinity. The names of those in the organization is proof that it is organ
 ized strictly for business. It is urged upon every person in the Street and vicinity that they come forward and
 made up the amount necessary to take advantage of the more than liberal offer of MT Cole. The soliciting con-
 mittee for the fire company is Rev O.. w. Barker, Patrick Cannon, Select man l.. c. Morris and A. r. Smith,
 and these gentlemen will be pleased to receive a quick and generous re- spopse to this call. Remember the
 more money raised the better able will our new fire company be equipped to fight fires. Help the fire laddies out.

Training the Heifer.

1t is not all in the breed nor in the
feed in developing a dairy COW from
the heifer calf, says Farm and Ranch.
She must also be trained for her life
work. A boy may inherit mechanical
talent from a long line of ancestors,
but he must be properly taught and
trained before he can build a locomo-
tive or plan a cantilever. The heifer
calf should early in life receive her first
lessons, SO that the direction of her de-
velopment shall be toward the milk
pail. The milk giving organs may be
stimulated to action by proper ham
ding, and if properly pursued, in
many cases, the heifer will produce
milk before mating. "Just as the twig
is bent the trees inclined" applies to
the case in question. Before the heifer
is year old she may be taught to set
back her leg and stand just as an old
COW would do and wait for the pleasur-
able sensation of milkless milking.
There is more in this than many people
suppose, and it is good thing to try.

SPIRIT SLATE WRITING.
How the Mysterious Sentences Are
Prepared In Advance.

How the Mysterious Sentences Are
Prepared In Advance.
Spiritualistic slate writing, if cleverly
done, always makes q marked impress
sion on a magician's audience because
it utterly battles their efforts to detect
the trick. They see small cabinet
suspended above the stage by means
of cords or ribbons. It has an open
front and is empty. The magician
turns it around SO that every part Of
it may be seen and taps it inside and
out with his wand to show that it is
hollow.
On a stand near by he has q small
easel, a common school slate, a bottle
of india ink with a quill pen in it and
n few sheets Of ordinary white writing
paper All these he passes around
among the audience for examination.
Then he fixes a sheet Of the paper to
the slate by means of waters, places
the slate on the easel and the easel in
the cabinet, together with the bottle of
ink, the latter having the pen still in it.
Having allowed the audience to see
the articles thus arranged in the cabi-
net, he throws large silk handker-
chief over it. Mysterious sounds are
Immediately heard, and the cabinet
shakes as if some living thing had en-
tered it. When the sounds and the
shaking cease, he removes the hand
kerchief, showing an inscription writ
ten in bold black letters on the paper
and the pen not in the ink bottle, but
lying on the bottom Of the cabinet. He
then removes the paper from the slate
and passes it around for examination,
when the writing is Immediately recog-
nized as having been done with India
ink.
The explanation of the trick is sim
pie. The writing was done in advance
by the performer, the fluid used being
q solution of sulphuric acid Of the pur-
est quality. To make the solution so
drops of the concentrated acid are add
ed to one ounce of filtered water. Writ
ing done with this solution is invisible
until exposed to heat When so ex-
posed, it comes out perfectly black,
looking exactly like dried India ink.
The heat is applied by means of an
electric current running over wire with
which the slate is wound. The cords
by which the cabinet is suspended con-
ceal copper wires, which conduct the
current to the slate. Black silk threads
suitably attached enable the performer
to make the sounds in the cabinet, to
cause the cabinet to shake and to jerk
the pen out Of the ink bottle.
Several sheets of paper are prepared
in advance, each with a different in
scription, the performer telling one in
scription from another by secretly
marked pin pricks.-New York Herald.

Beef From Dairy Breeds.

Should the dairyman try to grow his
steers into beef? Emphatically no, if
they are from dairy sires, says Profess
or Thomas Shaw. He may grow them
into veal or baby beef by feeding them
on skimmilk and certain adjuncts, sell
ing them between the ages Of six and
nine months, or little later in the case
of Holsteins, but he should not try to
mature and finish them as beef steers
are matured and finished unless he is
anxious to get rid of his money. But
If the dairyman has grade cows of
mixed breeding and does not care to
rear any calves for the dairy and is,
moreover, DESTROYS of growing meat, he
can do so by using high class, pure
bred sires of some beef breed. The
progeny will then be SO pronouncedly
beef in form that they can be grown
proftably for meat even to the age Of
two to three years.

Good and Poor Cows.

Wherein do the good and poor cows
differ? Merely in the apparatus for the
production of milk, and in the possess
sion of such organs in a greater or less
degree hang all the law and the profits,
says Hoard's Dairyman.
Of what goes into the mouth per-
centage, be it more or less, comes out
of the udder, and the profit returned by
the cow depends on what that percent
age may be. 1t is useless to pour ex-
pensive food into the cows stomach
when she will only return 70 cents in
milk for every 81 in food; folly to buy
SIG worth of bran wherewith to make
cent cow beef; nonsense to fill the silo
only to waste half its contents on poor
COWS.
