prosperous business. As a number of
their officers have already predicted. they
will probably keep up to the phenomenal
record of last year, surprising as that
may seem after the pessimistic utter
ances of the past month. Corn crops do
not run the Government or even the rail-
ways. The failure of a portion OF one
corn crop does not spell ruin. The spring
wheat crop was very poor last year and
yet the st. Paul made the record earn
ings of its history and the Northern Pa
cific did the same.

BOY TOOK 5000 VOLTS.
ResuscItated aud In Fair Way to Get
Well.

Well.
Walter Budds, 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 CT 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 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 of.

A New Massachusetts, Law.

The Massachusetts legislature has
just passed a law which requires that
all bottles, pipettes or other measuring
corporation, or by any employee or
agent thereof, at any creamery, cheese
factory, condensed milk factory, milk
depot or other place in this state, in
determining by the Babcock test or by
any other test. the value of milk OF
cream received from different persons
or associations at such creameries, fac
tories or milk depots as basis of pay
ment for such milk or cream, shall be-
fore use be tested for accuracy. Such
bottles, pipettes or measuring glasses
shall bear in ineffaceable marks or
characters the evidence that such test
has been made by the authority named
in section two of the act. No mac
curate bottles, pipettes or glasses shall
bear such marks or characters. but
when found inaccurate shall be marked
bad" The director of the Hatch
Experiment Station or some competent
person designated by him is required
to make such tests. The act Of course
provides for compensation for the
services of such 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 o.her machines used by
any person, lrm 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 s25 for tho
first offense and not more than $50 for
each subsequent offense.

por,ugars ple,hora Of MONEY.

Portugal is suffering from a plethora
of money just now. Not gold. of
course; nor silver; but copper. SO vas,
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 80 tons a month.

TO FOIL CHECK RAISER.
New Scheme for Preventing Any Alter
ations In Cheeks.

ations In Cheeks.
More than 10000 900, 900 of checks
are used annually in the United States,
and of this amount something like 49,
900 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 ne has pre-
viously filled it in. Many devices have
been planned for 70 ling the check
raiser, but the security check is e. e
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 tha
safeguarding schedule. The words d.
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 writ in
the amount Of money to be paid he a1-
justs a small paper cutter to that line
of the upper half OF the schedul
which bounds the maximum amount o
be paid in dollars, tens, hundreds, CT
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
like. This leaves in the hands of the
drawer the check absolutely SAFE
guarded from alteration. for the LETT
hand margin expresses in words and
figures the amount not exceeding
which it has been drawn"
2 The device is used by scores of banks
and by hundreds of prominent firms,
although it has been before the publ
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 monsy
orders and tickets.

The remarks against kissing attrib-
uted to Professor Crook of Chicago,
prompted B. 3. Wilson, a merchant of
Mount Hope. Kan. to form an anti
kissing league. a dozen married men
were persuaded to become members.
The wife of Secretary r. j. Cox, of the
league, has revolted and is suing for
divorce, after three weeks without kiss
ing, but Cox boasts he has not kissed
his wife in many years, maintaining
that it is unmanly. The pledge one
has to take to join the league is that
he will kiss no woman, no matter il
she is his wife. kissing is for women
only-the weaker SEX" Wilson says.
kissing is a weak manner of show
ing affection. We love our wives more
than those men who are all the time
kissing them every time they leave
the house. Some wives may object, but
that will not induce us TO desert the
cause. My wife Is in favor Of the plan
and looks at it in the same manner as
1 do"

ravus. pa,dn.ss or white Comb.

Symptoms.-This disease first shows
itself upon the comb, wattlos and neck,
frequently on one side of the head
only. It appears as small white, yell
lowish raised spots circular or irreg-
ular in outline. These spots at first
distinct grow and coalesce, until the
skin is covered with a greyish yellow
crust that may become one-fourth Of
an inch in thickness. In about month
the feathers become affected and
eventually fall off, leaving the skin
bare and covered with numerous
crusts, each depressed in the center
where a feather was attached.
The effects of favus arc wasting and
facilitating. Often death may follow.
The disease is caused by a lowly or
ganized fungus Achorion Schonleinil,
found within the crusts.
Treatment-Thed disease is contagi-
Gus, hence diseased fowls should be iso-
lated. The complaint yields readily to
treatment, especially when confined to
parts of the head destitute of feathers.
The affected areas should be bathed in
warm water. and as much of the crust
as possible removed with a blunt in
strument, as the handle of a spoon.
Then apply daily an ointment COM
posed of benzine one part. soft soap -
parts and flowers of sulphur to the
proper consistency. Another good
ointment is red oxide of mercury 1
part and vaseline 8 parts.

Notes by nun 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 Gull
ture, small fruits, ensilage, the or
chard and hog breeding were some o!
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 bes.
methods for securing their corn crops
10 make the best and largest amount
Of food when their hay lands arc so
Improbable. At Cedar Hill Farm We
have put the pillow in all of our sod
land and feel we are doing the rish
thing in so doing. Peas and oats, oats,
flax and millet, soy beans, southern
peas, all turn off more feed per acre
than our clover or timothy meadows
and all of above crops are r.ch il
protein and also assist in keeping
up fertility of the soil.
Last week we put our COWS on gras-
and did so without having any Of tn
first grass effects-soft butter or cow,
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. Afte.
following this up for a few days they
were finally allowed to return to pas
ture after evening milking stayin,
there till morning, receiving only
grain in stable night and morning
We will continue this plan till on
daily milk record shows us that tn.
grass is getting short, when we vii
open our summer silo of corn and
feed twice a uay in stable.
The individual milk record of a herd
shows us some things but little
thC.ght of by the average dairyman.
Take my trip to the Institute spoken

that of evening. My string of COWS
number ten. My 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 nabitual 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.

A Mississippi bulletin says: There
are a numb2r of men in Mississippi
who offer fol sale what they claim to
be the best strains of the different
breeds, who do not know the strains
of their respective breeds. In honest
ignorance many of them are inflicting
on their equally ignorant customers
animals just little removed from the
razor-back. This is due to the fact
that they have bought their stock from
persons who, like themselves, had new
er seen 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 "cull' prices.

FILLING IN THE RIVER.

Butler-Ryan Company Puts Force
of Men at Work.
To get under way in an undertaking of
the magnitude of the improvements plan
ned for the union depot property requires
time, and, although work was commenced
in desultory way some days ago, it was
not until yesterday that the contractors
were In shape to place a large force on
the filling in of the river bank, which
has to be done. This was partially due
to the fact that Messrs. Ryan & Butler
had to procure a new steam shovel with
which to dig out the earth needed for
the section that is to be reclaimed OPP
posite the depot the new shore line will
extend, as has already been stated in
the o b e, at least 100 feet into the
present stream. AS the shore line Is
to extend from Immediately below the
ahutment on the north end of the Great
Western bridge straight to the Phalen
creek bridge, the new line will, at places,
be as much as $50 further out than the
present line.
1t grows narrower until at Phalen
bridge 1t strikes the present shore.
Henry M. Sperry, of New York, Is at
work on the interlocking system. Mr.
Sperry has done this work for many Of
the great depots throughout the country
He has arranged the tracks so that the
new depot will have nine Simultaneous
train movements; six at the east end and
three at the west end. This allows nine
trains to arrive and depart at the same
time, which will easily accommodate all
incoming and outgoing traffic.
