held in 10000 bail. Cowart was pre-
vailed upon to make a confession and
restitution by Examiner Mason. who
told him that to do SO would go a long
way in mitigating his punishment.
Cowart said he had diverted the banks
funds first to pay dividends on the
banks stock, in order to keep up its
price, and later he began taking money
to keep up the extrayagant style of
living he INDUCED in at Asbury Park.
The receiver was asked what the out.

Poultry and Small Fruits.

That there is good profit in raising
poultry in connection with small fruits
has been repeatedly proved; on the
other hand many failures have result
ed solely because provision has not
been made to keep the fowls from the
fruit plots. If this is done there will
be no trouble in working both indus
tries to advantage. for the time when
the fruit needs the most attention IS
the period when the fowls need least.
In working this combination it Is q
good plan to raise poultry largely for
the sale of the carcass in the fall and
winter production Of eggs then, if the
young chicks are Matched early in the
spring, for the work Of the poultry will
interfere but little with the necessary
attention which must be given the
small fruits. By proper arrangement
Of poultry yards and runs and the
small fruit plots there should be no
trouble In keeping them apart. For a

The latest application Of the princi.

from Australia. In the postofices of
the commonwealth. if time or opportu-
nifty does not permit the prompt pur-
chase of a stamp, the person in a hurry
will in future be able to drop his letter
into one oriice of a machine and his
penny into the other, and when this
process is completed, "One penny paid"
will be found impressed on the envel-
ope as an equivalent to the orthodox
stamp. The innovation has its advan-

velope is perhaps the greatest nuisance

Bicyclist Runs Down Geese.

George s. Martin, a bicyclist, willis
spinning along the Brookdale road in
Essex County, was pursued by three
dogs that few out Of a farmyard. In
trying to escape the dogs, Martin ran
into a flock of geese and was thrown
off on his head. Two geese were killed.
A farmland made Martin a prisoner
and summoned the farmer. Martin
failed to prove to tie farmer that his
logs were the cause of the trouble.
The farmer insisted that Martin should
pay for the geese. In the quarrel the
farmer threatened Martin, who, reach
ing down as if to get his purse, drew
1 handful of red pepper from his peck
cts and threw it in the farmers face.
The farmer yelled, and several other
farmers came to the scene. Before
they got there, however. the bicyclist
nad escaped.

Water Powers of the Earth.

An estimate of water powers devel-
,ped in the several countries was given
BY A. Gardenwitz in q paper before
the Frankfort Congress Of German
Naturalists and Doctors. His figures
are as follows: Germany and Austria,
10000 horsepower; Switzerland, $780,
300; Sweden, 100000; United States,
100000. He estimates the total avail
abale water power to be: Sweden,
10000 zoe horsepower; France, 10000
300; Germany, Austria, Switzerland
and Italy, 10000 900; while in the
United States, Niagara Falls alone
could furnish 100000 horsepower.

AGRICULTURAL
Graininx Cows ia Sumner.

While in many sections grain feeding
must be done this summer, the ordl-
nary practice is not to feed grain 70
cows that are on pasture. This is ac-
knowledge to be a mistake by those
who have tried both methods, provided
their cows were grade or thorough
breds. In some sections the belief In
grain has been carried to the extent
that the cows are barn fed the year
through. That this results in a good
milk flow can not be denied, but there
is some question as to the a~dvisability
of depriving cows Of grass entirely.
On the other hand, there a be no
question about the value of granting to
a moderate extent in connection with
pasturing. To commence with, the
supply Of grain should be small. say q
pint q day, increasing the quantity as
the value Of the grass decreases. The
expense of this plan is certainly small
compared with the results, and during
this month and August is a good time

Resisting Power.

When a physician Is called to a case
of severe sickness, the first thing that he
estimates is the resisting power of the
patient. The chances for his recovery are
in proportion to his vitality. If there be
little of that at the outset there Is small
hope of overcoming the disease. The resist
ing power of persons in illl health IS such
that in an epidemic they throw Off the
disease germs that PROSTATE others. One
cannot always tell. from appearances Just
how much ability one has to withstand
the inroads of a maladv. Some who ap-
p~arently are robust almost immediately
succumb, while others who look frail re-
cover from violent attacks. OF course dis
sipation, ~unhygienie living. unhealthful sur
roundings, sap ones resisting power, so
that when a v~irulent ailment makes an
attack one has strength insufficient to fight
it off.
You see that it is not so much the
maignancy of the disease as it is the vital
ity of the man that deter mines the result
Just so it is also IL the moral world, says
Welfspring. There are some persons hy-
ing lives so upright, SO spiritually healthy,
that they are practically immune from
temptation. And when they are over
come, they soon recover themselves, for
their power of resistance is great. On the
other hand, there are those VINO after sue
cumbing to one temptation are completely
swept away by the power of evil. How eau
that be accounted for? Obviously in the
same way that the ability to resist physi-
cal disease is to be explained. There has
been unwholesome moral living; the mine
has been permitted to become familiar with
evil thoughts; the soul has breatned in
miasma and corruption, until one has no
ability to put away temptation.
Ali this suggests the need Of resisting
power both against disease and against sin.
A pure, clean. wholesome life, physical
and moral, will make one secure against
any harm that either can do.

rhe Value Of q Dairy Cow.

When q dairyman goes into the mar.
ket to purchase a COW he generally
finds certain valuations placed on the
different ones, governed more or less
by the past records, but to q large ex-
tent he will be disappointed in his pur-
chases unless he has, somewhat init
nate knowledge of the nature Of dairy
COWS. A good many cows are worth
more than their record. They may
have possibilities which are only slight
" apparent, but which under proper
treatment might be easily developed.
A cows record for producing milk and
cream must always be considered in
connection with her feeding. Cows
that have good records have been
known to be such heavy feeders that
there was no profit in keeping them.
Another animal with probably a SINH
lar good record for yield will be a
comparatively small feeder. Whatever
che eats seems to go into milk or but
ter fat. A record Of milk yield without
a record Of daily feeding is Of little
value to any one The two questions
cannot be separated.
Another point that must be consid.
cred is the season Of the year when the
yields Of butter, cream and milk have
been made. A dairy COW that will
make large yields in the summer, and
comparatively nothing in the fall and
winter, is far less valuable than an.
other who keeps up a pretty steady
yield the year round. We must remem.

ments. One pound of rich cream or
butter fats in the winter is worth al
most two in summer. Cows with good
yearly records are known to produce
heavily in the spring and summer, but
as winter comes on they dry up and
produce very little for i've OF six
months. Such a COW is far less valu-
able than another whose spring and
summer records r not phenomenal,
but which keeps up a pretty fair aver
age right Though the winter. To test
the actual value of a dairy cow one
must consider carefully these two ques.
lions of yield in proportion to the
amount Of food given, and the winter
average OF the milk and cream. You
