CARRIERS LIFE IN PRISON,
Spends Much of His Time LOOKING
After Flowers,

SN'ASi tO"OISs
This civil suit of the United States
to recover money from Oberlin NJ
Carter, ex-captain of engineers, now
a prisoner in the Federal penitentiary
OF Fort Leavenw orth, is expected to
come up for trial in the United States
Circuit Court in Chicago soon, says
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. The
total amount involved in the suit is
$4,000 in stocks, bonds and real es-
tate. Last summer government Off
Gals attached property of Garter in
the State of New Jersey and a large
amount of stock and bonds, some of
which is alleged to be in the name of
his uncle and brother
After the attachments were placed
on some of the property an arrange
ment was entered into whereby Carter
agreed to place all his property in
escrow in the hands of the court, and
to stand a civil trial, TO see whether
the government or lie (Carter) had a
right to it. 1t is the contention Of
the government that the money to
purchase the real estate and the stock
and bonds is part of that stolen by
Carter and others in the Savannah
harbor work. Carter contends that
much of it was given 20 rim by his
father-in-law, now dead.
Carter will not be allowed to go to
Chicago for the trial, the department
of justice officials holding that his

Of late he has not been making any
talk of this kind. 1t is believed that

a civil engineer comes to his aid in

Milk Of different temperatures should
never be mixed.
With cows long in milk, the butter
will come slowly.
A little too much churning Injuries
the butter by destroying the grain.
Any impurities In the drinking water
are readily absorbed by the milk.
In profitable buttermaking it Is al
important to suit your customers.
A little feed will often save good
deal of time in milking restless cow.
The growth of the heifer is so much
deducted from what should go to milk
production.
A great point Of value In dairy cow
Is to have the milking habit firmly es-
tablished.
Dairy farming, If rightly managed,
may be the means of greatly improv-
ing the land.
1t is useless to expect great flow OF
milk from a COW that has only enough
feed to live upon.
Care should be taken never to over
work butter, so that the grain and tex
ture may be preserved.
The fact that cow gives a large
mess Of milk need not interfere with
her bringing a good calf.
The colder butter can be churned
the better, and the better 1t will stand
after it has been churned.
A good dairy cow should always
have her good qualities perpetuated by
raising her heifer calves.
A stunted heifer will never make
breeder of thrifty, quick-ma turing
stock and will prove failure.
The churn should never be filed
more than half full, and then If the
temperature is right the butter will
come.
Stone or cement troughs are better
than wooden ones for setting the milk
cans In because they are easily kept
clean.
Churning at too high temperature
or churning too long will produce
greasy butter in which the grain Is in
jured.
When cows have been long in milk,
churning is difficult, because the milk
has become glutinous and the lat glob-
ules will not adhere.

Advertise Your Good Things.

Study the pedigrees and breed into
popular lines as your experience in
breeding and management improves,
and a demand is developed for your
stock by judicious advertising. Some
men pay big prices for breeding stock
and never advertise, says the Holstein
Friesian Register. They sacrifice their
stock rather than pay out money for
advertising, while others with palmer
bred stock and liberal advertising will
get far better prices and greater de-
mands.

Weed Seeds in Grain.

Several hundred samples of timothy,
alsike and red clover on sale by local
dealers in different provinces have
been analysed at Ottawa, Ont. In
some 10 to 80 per cent by weight of
sand was found; 63 per cent Of the
samples contained over two thousand
weed seeds per pound, A per cent over
five thousand and % per cent over ten
thousand Not more than per cent
Of the samples were found free from
weed seeds. These facts are in line
with recent complaint from Massa-
chusetts farmer in regard to the rapid
spread on his farm Of a new weed
with white blossom and hot, bitter
taste" Investigation showed the pres
ence Of wild carrot, that pest Of the
hay field in SO many localities. The
weed had first appeared In quantity
along the borders OF a field of oats
Better for the farmer to have paid
double price all his life for the best
grade Of seed oats from a reliable deal
err than to have introduced such a
weed in cheap grain seed. 1t costs
more to raise pedigree seed and to
raise it on clean land, but the result
is worth the difference. Better raise
ones own seed grain on the farm than
to buy hap-haZard at the store.-Mas-
sachusetts Ploughman.

The Seed Simply.

No scotsman can guarantee an even
quality of all his seeds every year. In
some, unfavorable growing seasons oc-
cur; in others insects and fungus dis
eases assail the crops; ID fact, there Is
not often a season when all seed crops
are both large and OF prime quality.
Those who are interested In cucumber
growing will be surprised at the high
price they will have to pay for cucum-
Der seed this year; IN Nebraska last
season, where immense crops OF SUI
perior seed ere now annually raised,

SuVgestions.

To prevent salt from caking add lit
tie arrowroot.
Before cooking in new tin dishes boil

water and cooking until hard. The
whites may thus be saved for icings,
meringues and other uses

ing instead of butter in almost all cases

Canned Corn.

Cut ripe sweet corn from the cobs
and pack in glass cans, pressing the
corn down as tightly as possible. To
each quart can add one teaspoonful of
salt, place the cans in a wash boiler,
on the bottom of which has been plac-
ed thick folded cotton cloth. Have
very lightly. Fill the wash boiler to
the neck of the cans with cold water,
cover and let boil for three hours and
a half. Take the cans out and screw
down alright. When cool, set in the
cellar and you have lovely sweet corn
all winter for all purposes.

Difference in Cows.

In a herd Of twelve COWS, tested for
three years in connection with the Wis
consin dairy school, the milk of one
COW was worth $110 more than the
feed she ate, while that Of FIVE other
COWS added together only amounted to
STA more than their feed. One COW
produced nearly as much profit as five
cows in the same herd. The feed and
labor cost about the same for poor
COW as for good one, but what diff
ference in the net results. The results
Of actual weighing and tests Of farm
herds in various dairy sections of the
country indicate that few herds exist
in which at least one cow in ten does
not fail to pay expenses when feed is
reckoned at market value. Often 1t
happens that a COW, supposed by the
owner to be fairly good, has proved
the poorest of the herd when her milk
is weighed and tested for year.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Norfolk Cva.) Landmark (Dern.)
saws: Notwithstanding all the words
and arguments that can be employed
in advocacy of the lash, the over
whelming sentiment of the people is
opposed to it, and there's an END on
T.
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd) says:
"The New York negroes have called
the attention of the President to the
increase of lynching of late. We hope
the President will call the attention of
the New York negroes to the increase
of negro crime Of late. There is a
fine chance for an abatement of both
troubles"
The Macon News (Dem.) says: "It
is the system that is wrong. No white
woman convict should be made to
suffer the lash. Mamie DeCris is a
worthless member of society. but she
will have done Georgia a real service
If the treatment she received will serve
to remove this particular disgrace to
the state beyond the range of future
possibilities"
The Philadelphia Inquirer says:
"Criminology is far from being an ex-
act science. and in the most enlighten-
ed communities mistakes are made, but
the Georgia method of leasing con-
victs like cattle and subjecting them
to brutality and ignominy is revolt
ing. The eyes of the country are on
Georgia, and it is to be hoped they
will soon see something gratifying in
the way of reform"
The Hartford Comm Times (Dem.)
says: Mr.. Bryan continues to explain
that his vote for Weaver, the populist
candidate for president of 1892, was
given in pursuance of a plan of the
Democratic National Committee to
elect Grover Cleveland. He withheld
his vote from the latter in order 10 en-

journalism out West,

When newspaper starts up in the
territories, according to the Kansas
City Journal, the country exchanges
greet 1t in a form which reads some
thing like this: vol 1, No. l. of the
Doaksville Daily Tribune has lust
reached our table. The Tribune is
a neat and newsy little sheet which
supplies long felt want in that thirty
ing community by the placid waters
OF picturesque Bitter Creek. The ed
itor, Mr.. James Smith, is a scholar
and gentleman, who has acquired
great journalistic experience and abil-
ity by serving a number of years on
the reportorial staff of one of the met
ropolitan newspapers of Kansas City.
Good luck to you, Jimmy. We affec-
tlcnately welcome you to the fold of
the true moulders of public opinion"
But these amenities don't last long.
James runs coulter to the prevailing
opinion on some living issue, and the
next thing he reads of himself runs
in this fashion: vol 1, No. 2. of
that disreputable organ of the Snake
Indians, the Doaksville Tribune. pub
lished In that hell hole near the sewer
of creation, by that dough faced. pud-
ding brain idiot who recently fled from
Kansas City, leaving a 81 laundry bill
unpaid, the which seems queer. as he
does not have any washing done here"
The whole is not repeated. as onlv
sample is necessary to show the
trouble which soon overwhelrns the ad-
venturesome James Smith.
