AS an explanation of how eastern
dairymen are able to keep cows on Il
high priced dairy ration we note that
the dairymen Of New Jersey have late
ly contracted their milk to the condens-
ing factory at an average price of 81 80
per 100 pounds, or 35s cents per quart,
equivalent to 81 cents per pound for
what butter fat the milk contains.

In the matter of corn there is great
deal of importance in properly adapt
ing varieties to climate and latitude.
We lately saw samples of White Dent
corn raised in central Minnesota which
was better matured than the same sort
of corn raised 400 miles farther south.
The northern grown corn was not so
large as that grown south, but plenty
big enough to make it a very profitable
crop to raise.

Those handsomely labeled cans of
"potted chicken which are in favor
for high toned society luncheons and
picnic parties are quite likely to be the
only evidence of farm tragedy where
a nice little day old calf was by the

the herd into boiled rooster. Managed
just right it would be hard to detect
the fraud.

successful, however. He diverted the
blow so that it cut through the officers
sleeve and inflicted an ugly cash on the
fleshy part of his arm.
Through it all the district attorney
remained unmoved in his chair. In
deed there was scarcely time for him
to do aught else, for the whole scene
did not occupy more than half a dozen
seconds. After that there was q pic
ture which would have made excellent
material for a tableau-the three men
handcuffed one calm and smiling cyn-
icully, another pale with fright and
the third furious with batf1ed rage, the
officers beside them, With firm hands
upon their shoulders; on the other
side of the table the district attorney,
still seated in his armchair and looking
ineffably bored. and beside him, with
one hand on the back of his chair, the
tall, athletic figure of Craig Wyndham,
looking like the god Of Vengeance sat
isfied.
Escudera was the first to break the
silence that followed the short strug
gle.
81 suppose, Mr.. Craig Wyndham, |
owe this to you," he said.
II think you owe it to yourself and
your own treachery," replied Wynd-
ham calmly.
"Do you believe that you can fasten
your crime upon me-" continued the
Mexican. But the district attorney in
terrupted before Wyndham could re-
spond.
"Take those two men from the room"
he commanded sternly. "Ofiicer Damn,
remain here with your prisoner, Ro-
driguez. We have not done with him
yet"
GUAM began Escudera, but again
he was interrupted, this time by the
officer who had him in charge, who
clapped one hand rudely over his mouth
and led him out of the room.
Rodriguez" said the district attor-
ney softly when the others had gone,
81 do not believe that you are as bad
as the others, and for that reason l
have kept you here to talk with you

The stenographer seized his pen again
and resumed work.

cial, chat there has not been mo-
when you and your friends have not
been shadowed by the police? We have
not had you arrested simply because

And where do you suppose we expected
to get that? will tell you because you
could not gness-from Mexico"
"Erom Mexico" exclaimed Rodriguez
involuntarily. The craftiness OF the
district attorney was too much for him.
"Yes, from Mexico" continued the
official. invcnting as he went along
from the tale that Wyndham had told
him. I'VE know, for example. that
there was conspiracy hatched be-

Then whittier than before, he fixed his
eyes again upon the district attorney,
