To Avoid a Total Loss.

A Pittsburg man tells of visit he
made at a thrifty home in a nearby
town. The call was quite a pleasant
one and during the evening ABBEY
the hopeful son of the family, was
sent to the cellar for refreshments for
the guests. He could be heard CROP
ing his way through the dark, and
then came the noise of something fall
ing and the crash of glass. "Abey's''
mother was plainly uneasy, but she
assumed the unnatural composure
which her society duties demanded.
Soon "Abey" came up with an armful
of bottles.
"What was that noise we heard,
.Abey'?" asked the mother.
Nothing much" replied abbey"
Il knocked over a bottle of milk and
it rolled down the steps and spilled"
''Did you call the cat, 'Abey'?' asked
the thrifty woman.-Pittsburg News.

GOOD DAIRY RATION.
Relative Value of Various Kinds Of
Hay and Grain.

An Illinois .dairyman asked informa-
ton as to how to compound the best
milk ration from corn and cob meal,
oatmeal. bran, Oat hay cured in the
bundle, mixed timothy and clover hay,
clover forming one-fourth of the mix
ture says w. J. Fraser of the Illinois
experiment station.
While corn is too carbOnaceOus to be
good food for dairy COWS, yet in this
section Of the country, where it can be
grown SO cheaply, we must depend
upon it for the basis of our ration
even for dairy cows. With the grains
mentioned should advise feeding six
pounds corn and cob meal, three
pounds oatmeal and three pounds bran
per day, with all the mixed hay and
Oat hay, equal parts, that the cows will
eat. Each animal will probably con-
sumo Is to 20 pounds per day, depend
ing upon the individuality Of the COW
and also upon the condition Of the hay.
Dat hay if cut while it is still green
and if properly cured makes an ex-
cellent feed for dairy COWS. The oats
do not pass through whole when fed in
this manner, but are remasticated with
the hay and nearly all ground with the
teeth, which is not the case when whole
thrashed oats are fed. This saves both
the thrashing and grinding bills.
Glover hay is one Of the best hays
we have for COWS, because it is rich in
albumnoids, and this is the class Of
substances almost invariably lacking
in the dairy rations Of the corn belt
Timothy hay is one of the poorest hays
for COWS. should advise replacing Il
pound or two of the corn and cob meal
with gluten meal or oil meal, as this
adds to the variety and also makes
much better balanced ration.

OUARRlES OF OLD EGYPT.
Where Stone For Pyramids of the
Desert Was Procured.

Where stone For Pyramids of the
Desert Was Procured.
On the way to PhilR and the head of
the cataract, a short distance south OF
Assouan, we come upon the ancient
quarries which supplied the granite
for the columns, statues and obelisks
throughout Egypt for many centuries.
An obelisk which we saw lies in it's
native bed. 1t is 50 feet in length, and
three sides have been carefully cut,
but for some unknown reason it was
never separated entirely from the par
ent rock The surface bears the tool
marks of the wOrkmen. The grooves
in it show that it was to have been re-
duced at the sides. 1t was supposed
that the stone was split from it's bed
by drilling holes in the rock and filling
them with wooden wedges, which were
afterward saturated with water, the
swelling wood furnishing the power.
From illustrations in the temples it is
clear that these great monuments were
f1oated down the river Oh fatboatS and
RATS and then carried inland by arti-
fetal canals or dragged overland by
thousands of slaves. In one of the
tombs at Beni-Hassan is a picture il
Illustrating the process. The great stone
is loaded upon huge sled drawn by
multitude of wOrkmen One man is en-
gagged in pouring water upon the run
ners to prevent friction; another stands
at the left of the statue and beats time,
that the men may work in unison,
while overseers, provided with whips,
urge the laborers to their task. What
king desired to extricate this block
from the quarry, why it was left here,
what it was to commemorate, we can
never know. The riddle of the sphinx
is solved, but the riddle of the obelisk
in the quarry will no doubt remain
with us forever.-Chautauq

CHURNING IN WINTER.
How to Obsiate the Difficulty of Col
Iecting Butter Fat.

During cold weather one Of the chief
difficulties in butter making results
from hard fat granules and cream with
a high viscosity. These conditions are
more common in the early winter
months than at any other time and
when COWS are somewhat advanced in
lactation. The character Of the feed
also has something to do with this.
The difficulty can be remedied by using
feed of Il more succulent character, di-
luting the cream with warm water or
Il very weak brine.
Care must be taken in diluting not to
carry this too far. as the cream will be
thin and hard to churn. Warming of
the cream gradually several hours be-
fore churning will also aid in the col
lection of butter fat. 1t sometimes hap
pens that the cream will have to be
heated as high as IS or so degrees to
churn we'll. Do not heat any more than
is absolutely necessary. Other things
being equal, the lower the temperature
at which the cream can be churned the
higher the quality of the butter.

slow measured accents no longer tell
the story of the departure CT one more

Frequent Vaccination.

Although almost absolute immunity
is secured for period of six months
by vaccination, there is NO certainty
that it's effects will continue beyond
that time. In the majority of cases it
does, but the interval for which this
additional benefit is enjoyed is variable.
Hence those who have studied the
matter most carefully recommend a
fresh operation if more than six
months have elapsed since the last one,
if a person is liable to be subjected
to peril, as in time of an epidemic

the business men of Ely in recOgni-

h0nOrS attained at the tournament at
Hibbing.
The city hall had been beautifully
decorated, the outside with red, white
and blue electric lights and the in
side with bunting and flags exquisite
ly draped. At 9 O'Clock the Ely City
band took up their stand before the
building and rendered the guests
concert. At $50, Wagner's Orchestra
appeared and opened the interior
festivities with Il selection. Mayor
NJ. E. Gleason then introduced Rev

pressed those present us having the
right ideas in regards to such an Or
ganization of more than public benefit
and judging by the applause that
greeted the close of his remarks, the
sentiments were conceded in by the
citizens present.
Mayor Gleason rendered the speaker
on behalf Of the department and the
city, heartfelt thanks for the kind
words and said be hoped in years to
come to see the good work kept up.
The orchestra after the address, took
their position on the platform and the
assemblage enjoyed themselves until
nearly O'Clock with dancing. At II,
most delicious lunch was served to
which all did ample justice.
AS we said before, it is just such
affairs as these that tend to make
men feel as though their efforts were
appreciated. A fire department such
us Ely possesses is an honor to any city
being composed as it is of men who
are always willing to risk their lives
for the benefit Of the community, and
the kind words and deeds of Wednes-
day evening tend to spur them on to
renewed action.

CARTER'S s STEAL

GOVERNMENT MAY RECOVER
THE WHOLE SUM.
ALMOST A MILLION DOLLARS
COLOSSAL ARMY THIEF, NOW IN
JAIL, MAY HAVE TO
DISaORGE ALL.

New York, April Ga special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Important developments in the Ober-
lin M. Carter case are likely to occur
within few DAYS.
Carter is now serving sentence of
five years Imprisonment in the govern
ment penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan.
charged with gigantic swindling opera
tions against the government. Up to
the time he was convicted. Carter was
under the jurisdiction of, and was pros
ecuted by the war department. Since
then the civil authorities of the gov
ernment, acting through the department
of justice, have been quietly but vigor-
ously and relentlessly tracing, step by
step, the money Carter stole, and now
have the great bulk of it located, and
are about ready to recover it and turn
1t back into the treasury.
The department of justice has discov-
cred that Carter's profits from the shrewd
swindling scheme which he worked sue
cessfully for so long time, were $722,-
900. The government detectives who for
three years have been on the ex-ar1ny
officers trail, have-located nearly every
cent of this money and as soon as GER
tain unimportant details are completed,
the legal steps necessary to recover it
will be taken by the department of JUS
tce. Attachments will be sworn out by
United States district attorneys in New
York city, in Savannah and at other
places where Carter invested the money
and it is not impossible that as a re-
suit of these proceedings the arrest of
two or three we'll known men. charged
with knowingly taking part in protect
ing Carter's stealings, will follow.
1t has been learned that Carter in
vested the money in gilt-edged securities
and real estate around New York. The
real estate has been located and the gov
ernment will swooD down on it as soon
as the attachments are obtained.
