CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

Before Capt. Chamberlain of Brad
ford as justice and jury at Orange
on Wednesday evening, Fred Harri-
man of Orange Center was given a
hearing on the charge of cruelty to
animals, preferred by States Attorney
d. S. Conant of Bradford. Mr.. Har-
riman conducted his own case and the
States Attorney represented the State.
The evidence introduced tended to
show state of affairs at Hartman S
barns that is hardly conceivable in a
civilized community In addition to
a starving COW and pair of horses the
specific charge of cruelty against Har-
riman was in regard to a pair of oxen
that have not been unyoked since last
July.
The testimony showed that these
creatures were in a fearful condition
from lack of food and from being so
long yoked together. The tumble
down barn of the respondent afforded
them practically no shelter from the
severity of Vermont winter States
Attorney Conant visited the premises
Thursday morning and ascertained that
the evidence introduced was true in
every particular.
The jury in the case was composed
of Oscar Peak, Charles Mills, A. d.
Coffin, George Cook, j. @. Noyes,
and John Emerson, all prominent citi-
zens of Orange. They promptly re-
turned verdict of guilty. The court
sentenced Hartman to pay fine of
800 with costs of $24. He was also
placed under bonds of $500 to appear
at the June term of Orange county
court.
Hartman has long been known to
be the filthiest individual, personally,
in Orange county but such cases Of
cruelty to dumb animals as were prov
ed at his trial had not been suspected.

officer whom he met in battle was his
own father. But this was not known
until 80 years afterward.
The weak point in the story is that
Capt. Kane should have committed sui
eide rather than to say frankly to his
men: That was my father and /
couldn't strike him. There would
have been nothing disgraceful or hui
initiating in such confession. There
were, in fact. good many cases of the
kind during the war. l remember that
while in the hospital at Gallatin, Tenn,
just before the battle of Stone river,
a man named Robinson told me that
in one of the hottest fights in Missouri
he had shot several times at confed-
crate behind n tree and the confed-
crate had shot several times at him, all
the bullets cutting close.
Zone of his own shots that knocked
the chips from the tree behind which
the confederate was hiding caused so
much excitement on the part of the
shootee that the shooter saw that the
man at whom he was shooting was
his own father. He felt little shaky
over that close shot, but after he re-
gained his nerve shouted out to the
old gentleman that he knew him, that
he was in a tight place, and he could
save his son from good deal of en-
barrassment il he would come in and
surrender. The father announced his
willingness to do so, and did surrender
to his own son.

CLEANLINESS COUNTS.
uuress the MIX Receives the Rest of
Care, Cream and Butter VIII
he Tainted.

Prof. Harrison, of the Ontario
Agricultural college, in Investigating
the causes of bitter taste in milk
and cheese, had the farms from
which the samples of milk used in
his experiments were obtained, ex-
aInined. In the course of these eX-
aminations it was found that uncov-
cred milk cans were often kept un-
der trees, near stables or barns and
on milk stands near the roadside.
He says: Every farmer engaged
in milk production should have a
room in which to cool and aerate the
milk Immediately after milking, and
keep the filed cans until the time
of putting them on the stand for the
drawer to collect. This room need
not be large or expensive, and it
should be convenient to the stable or
place of milking, but in no case
should it be placed where there is
liability of infection from barn
yard dust, or where the milk is in
danger of absorbing stable, barn
yard or piggery odors. 1t should be
sheltered from the prevailing wind.
A lcan-to against a building often
serves the purpose very we'll"
1t is noted nothing is more diff
cult to clean properly than cans,
pals and strainers, with the facili-
ties at hand on the average farm.
No matter how hard one may scrub
the can, he will rarely succeed in
cleaning it so thoroughly that it will
be free from bacterial life. A solu-
ton of soda is commonly used, and
it is effective in moving grease and
other forms of dirt; but it has very
little germicidal value. In the final
scalding water sufficiently hot
enough to destroy all bacteria in
cracks is seldom used. Steam, the
best method of sterilizing cans, is
not available on most farms. Hence
the proper place for cleaning cans is
at the factory, where all the ap.
! pliances are at hand for doing the
work thoroughly and expeditiously
Let all cans be thoroughly washed
and sterilized before they leave the
factory; and then let the factory in.
sist, and see to it, that those in
charge of the work on the farms
supplying the milk (1) wash and
scrub thoroughly (and occasionally
scour) all pals. strainers, dippers
and other utensils used in handling
the milk; (2) rinse all pals, strain
ers, dippers, etc, thoroughly with
boiling water Immediately before us
ing; and (3) rinse the cans out thor
oughly with boiling water a few
minutes before putting the milk into
them.

gut was invited to dine on Sunday
with an emperor. He declined, say
ing simply that st. would afford him
very great pleasure to accept din
ner invitation for any other day
than Sunday, but he never accepted
invitations for that day.
No honors paid by royalty delight
ed the admiral so much as his en-
thusiastic reception by the people
of the Spanish island of Minorca, in
the Mediterranean, his forefathers'
birthplace. While at Ciudadela, the
ancient capital of the island and the
place where his own father was born,
history of his family and his coat
of arms-the golden horseshoe with
gold nail-were presented to him.
1t was discovered that one of the ad-
mirafs ancestors was regent of Ara
gon, and that his coat of arms was
four stars, an anchor and a horse
shoe.
"How strange" said Farragut,
that / should win for myself in the
new world the right to assume the
four stars and anchor worn by my
proud old Spanish ancestors many
centuries ago!"

FARRAGUT'S LATER YEARS.
The Civil War Admirnrs Simplicity
of Character Illustrated by n
Boating Incident.

The so years of service which David
Glasgow Farragut had seen when the
civil war began had matured his pow
ers without impairing his mental or
physical vigor. "The admiral assured
me-" writes Gen. James Grant Wilson,
in the Criterion, that up to the year
1868 he made it practice of taking a
standing jump over the back of chair
on every birthday"
81 never felt old" he added, "until
my siXty-second birthday came round,
and / did not feel equal to the jump"
In another way illustrative of Far
ragut's simplicity of character was an
incident of the annual race of the New
York Yacht club in 1866. In the course
of that day number of ladies insisted
upon his telling the story of his being
Iashed to the rigging of the Hartford,
in the battle of Mobile bay.
"Oh," said Farragut, "some noise
was made about that, but it was not
as people told it. / had gone up
aloft-to see better-to get above
the smoke o. the ships guns. 1t
sometimes happens that man
faints when wounded, and to insure
me against fall in such a case,
an officer took small piece of rope
and tied me fast-that's ALL"
"That's all" was delightful in its
modesty.
Nor did the admiral forget his
modesty, or any other principle of
his character, when, after the war,
he went abroad in command of the
European squadron, and was re-
ceived with highest honors in all
the courts. On one occasion Farra-
