father-in-law. owned a fine specimen
of Durham bull The big animal was
as powerful and as vicious as any
have ever seen. He broke through
every fence that was put about him
and the farmers for miles around suf
fered ruined orchards and devastated
garden patches. The animal would g,
among the trees. and, dashing from
right to left. would scatter the fruit
on the ground for yards about. One
day after a night in which the old
fellow had been especially annoying.
we sent over to the Dent place for
aid. Grant rode back with our mes
senger The bull was racing about
the fields, terrorizing the neighbor-
hood. Grant asked two or three ques-
tons as to losses. then he told some
one to get a spoke.
Now he said. as II he were d.

IF anyone else had made the sug-

at, but Grants direction was taken as
a command. He took no part in the
proceedings. but turned his horse

out. caught the animal, gagged him,
and turned him loose again. After a

so they could get what they required
and after ten days they came back to
an average of 20 to "a eggs per day.

They excel the popular Barred Ply

cornIsh Indian cames.

Game fowls were imported into Eng
land from India In the early part OF
the last century. Many were Aseels or
Aseel Indians. the purest OF Oriental
type. They were then, as they are to-
day, very muscular and compact in
form, low stationed and Of medium
size. with various colora. including
gray. white. black. bun. notified and
laced. From the earliest Of these I'm
portations and other fowls from the
same source. though not SO pure In
blood. 1t is said the Standard Black
Breasted Red Malay was produced by
careful selection and breeding. As
early as 1870 Cornish Indians APP
peared in the shows OF England.
though at that early date It Ii not to
be expected they were OF uniform
type and color, owingto the difference
in the ancestry of the fowls exhibited
by the various breeders. But the ex-
changing of fowls among the fanciers
for new blood and careful selection in
breeding soon brought about won
derful Improvement and the type be-
came as fixed and permanent rs that
OF any fowl being bred to-day. A trio
OF Cornish Indian fowls was imported
into this country in September, 1877.

VIVA, constitutcs 4N.u,.r .

The Buffalo Commercial says that
Charles A. Dana once defined news
in this way: "If you see dog biting
a man don't write it up But IL you
see man biting dog spare no pains
or money to get the details to the
Sun Office" This is poor paraphrase
OF good story. When DOC" Wood
was night editor oil the Sun young
reporter asked him: What consti-
tutes news?" Mr.. Wood considered
for a moment and then replied:
Here's an illustration which will
probably give you correct idea of
what think on that subject. If you
should see dog running down
Broadway with a tin can tied to his
tail 1t isn't worth line. But IL you
should see a dog with tin can tied

Or. oernauIt's Experiment.

Some time ago we told our readers
OF the experiment being made by Dr.
Gernault of Paris to demonstrate to
the world the correctness of the the
ory OF DR.. Koch that tuberculosis
was not transmissible from animal to
man. The physician named declared
that he had the utmost confidence In
DR.. Koch, and to demonstrate to tho
world that Koch was right he would
attempt to inoculate himself with the
virus OF bovine tuberculosis. This ho
did, applying the vaccine TO one arm.
The result has been that the arm OF
the experimenter now contains sew
eral OF the deadly tuberclcs. and the
victim announces himself as fully con
vinced that bovine tuberculosis Ia
transmisslble to man. The doctor de
clares choerfully that he expected TO
lose his life as result of the expert
ment, but that his death will save the
lives OF others. who would otherwise
have relied on the theory of DIR. Koch
that the disease possessed by cattle
and known as tuberculosis is not
transmissibie to man. The doctor
Will attempt to save his life by having
his arm amputated, but the question
will then be confronting him as to
how far the disease has penetrated
his system. II he lives he declares he
VIII spend much time warning the
people OF the danger from this dis
ease. which some are accustomed TO
treat so lightly. The war against tu-
berculosis should be pushed. Every
person that has cows should ascertain
whether or not they are affected. The
people that use milk from unknown
cows should stcrilize It. In our

pairy interests OF New YORK.
According to the recent census there
are at present In New York state
i,oOl SOS cows, which is n little over
four per cent more thin the number
returned by the census of 1890. The
yield OF milk has. however. increased
over 16 per cent. This would seem to
Indicate decided improvement in the
quality of the cows, SO far as milk pro-
duction is concerned. In fact, the In
creased average OF milk production
must be about IL per cent. a very de-
cided gain In ten years. This is
doubtless due to the use OF the milk
test and the milk scales. On $1,000
farms milk production Is returned as
the principal source Of income for the
farms, This is 80 Per cent of all the
farms in the state. or the entire but
ter. milk and cheese output about
$4,000. 900 worth was consumed on the
firms where It was produced. while
sf6000.000 worth was sent away for
sale. In the last census year milk
brought over s33.000.0 900. butter nearly
$4,000. 900. while cheese brought less
than one-fourth Of q million dollars.
About s312. 900 was received for cream.

showing the trend Of economic condi-
tions in New York state. The milk
trade is proving more remunerative
than the trade in butter and cheese.
The amount OF butter produced on
farms decreased about 20 per cent in
ten years. most OF 1t being now made
In creameries.

Avoid Lice.

When incubators and brooders nrc
being used In the rearing OF chicks
every caution is necessary to keep
old hens away from the brooders. II
they are allowed to run in the same
locality or II the chicks of hens and
the chicks from the brooders be per-
mitted to run together 1t is almost
certain to produce an epidemic OF lice.
One OF the great advantages OF rails
ing chicks in brooders Is that no lice
are present. This advantage should
be maintained. Won culin says we
have known n whole section OF b.ocd-
er houses to be filed with lice by
placing single brood OF eleven
chicks. whose mother died, In a
brooder with other chicks. The new
comers were not suspected Of being
lousy. and the lice multiplied and

small or trifiing sometimes make tre-
mendous results. BY watching and

Testers That Do Not Test.

A big cold storage company In Min
neapolis has been bidding for the
cream from the farmers in the sur.
rounding territory. The hand testers
were to be used to test the cream Of
fered for sale by the company. The
latter agreed to buy cream by tne
test, paying enough for 1t to make II
more profitable to sell the cream to
the storage company than TO sell It to
the local creamery. The creamerics
have become alarmed at the danger
TO themselvese of having any consid-
erable quantity OF butter-fat thus d.
verted. Accordingly the hand testers
were given a good deal of attention
and some of them sent to the expert
ment station for testing. All tdsts
showed the testers sent out by the
storage companies tested too low by
from six to eight per cent. Thus the
storage company could afford to pay
six to eight per cent more for the
cream than could the creameries,
which would, of course. give them tho
bulk of the trade. The revelati ons
will probably cause some change OF
tactics ON the part Of the great cor
poration. but will probably not put 1t
out OF the field OF operations.
