The January term district court grand

this morning with eighteen members
present. The court appointed S. E. Oh

jury retired. It is made up as follows:

Judge Harrison instructed the jury that
it could transact no business unless at
least sixteen members were presnt. and
that twelve votes were required to return
an Indictment or presentment. He eau
toned the jurors not to divulge things
which took place In the jury room and
warned them not to let the newspapers
learn what they wer doing. 1t had been
no uncommon thing. he said, for men,
charged with crime to know it before the
indictment was returned and to get out
side the state before the authorities could
apprehend them.
He recommended that the jury investi-
gate charges that inaccurate weights and
measures were being used In the county
BY irresponsible vendors.

NEW MILKING DEVICE.
As an Object of Curiosity 1t Is of In
terest, Whatever Its Practical
Value May BE.

The latest milking machine is here
pictured in outline. 1t requires an
engine or other power to drive it in or
der to work the vacuum air pump
located at some convenient point.
From this a line of iron gas pipe is
run above the stalls in the milking
shed. This pipe is used only to exhaust
the air in the milk buckets. No liquid
passes through it, A small branch
pipe terminating in hook is fitted to
the main pipe and hangs over the stall
about two feet above the cows back.
The bucket is shown in the figure,
and is air tight, the top being closed
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1903-06-18

with lid, clamped securely in place
by simply raising the handle to lift
the bucket. All that is needed TO
make connection is the mere hanging
of the bucket on the pipe above the
COW by a hook attached to the milk
pail for that purpose, as shown in the
cut. This is an ordinary pail with a
tight lid and glass peepholes down the
sides so that the milk can be seen. A
rubber tube runs to the cups attached
to the cows teats. Between the cups
is valve and chamber about the size
of hens egg which really consti-
tutes the effective part of the machine.
The machine is set to work by a
simple turn of the valve and the sue
ton holds it in place until the milk
ing is finished. The valves and the
cups weigh about two pounds and one
man can use four or five of them to
advantage in large dairy. The ma
chine is cleansed by passing cold wa
ter through the hose and tubes a few
moments. All parts of the bucket may
be cleansed with a brush. The cups
are new and novel in their action.
They are so constructed that they
collapse at the top first and thus com
press the base of the teat and strip

two and one-half to ten minutes to

ESTABLISHED FACTS.
Eight Points Concerning Milk That
Have Been Established by Ex-
hnustive Experiments.

Some things may be said to have been
well established concerning milk by
long and exhaustive experiments,
which we will enumerate as follows:
l. If milk rich in butter fat is de-
sired we must breed for it, 1t is en-
tirely dependent upon the individuality
of the COW, so that men have finally
established that individuality into a
breed characteristic, as with the Jer-
sey and Guernsey breeds.
2. A bull belonging to butter breed
will impart this quality to his heifers
if he has sufficient prepotency. Also
bull belonging to breed which gives
milk low in percentage of butter fat
will impart that quality to his heifers.
3. 1t is not possible to increase the
percentage of butter fat in milk By
feeding food rich in fat, although that
is the general idea with hosts of farm
ers.
4. a food rich in protein increases
the quantity but not the quality of the
milk. But by inducing the cow to give
larger quantity we may also induce
her to yield more butter fat in "a hours
than she otherwise would have done.
5. Sudden changes in the time of
feeding or character of the food or
sudden changes in the temperature. or
exposure of the cow to cold transforms,
or to brutal usage-all these affect the
percentage of butter fat in milk. 1t
may be mentioned also that some milk
ers affect cows favorabry or unfavor-
ably in this respect.
6. The milk of COW does not, as
rule. reach its highest richness until
after she has had her calf.
Z. Milking three times in "a hours
has been found to increase somewhat
the amount of butter fat production.
s. For the consumption of infants
the milk of herd of cows is safer and
more digestible than that of single
COW, for the reason that it is less liable
to variation from nervousness and
other causes.-Hoard's Dairyman.

LONDON DEAL IN PORT WINE.
One Firm Buys 100000 Gallons, the
Largest Private Contract
J Ever Made.

A London firm has purchased at
Oporto upwards of 1000 pipes of port
wine (33O,OOO gallons), including sam
pies of most of the finest vintages
since 1870. This is the largest private
contract ever made for old wines.
Oporto sells pipes of port wine annual
ly to England, The recent transaction
means that 100000 bottles of port
wine will be placed on the market
within a month.
Port is coming into favor again, and
after champagne is the wine most
sought after. Since 1878, when the
new system of vine grating came into
vogue, port is produced that natures
in twelve instead of twenty years.
Merchants. however generally com
plain that wine drinking is daily de-
clining, many wealthy and fashiona bic
people substituting spirits and soda
for dinner.

Friend, that is the most damning
part of the business. If thee would
only sell to drunkards and loafers,
thee would help to kill off the race,

But thee takes the young, the
poor, the innocent and the unsuspect-

In some parts of the west box irri.
cation is practical as a cheap method
of saving fruit trees, vines and gardens
from drought. The boxes are made OF
rough planks, usually about six inche:
in length, and inserted in holes a foot
or more in depth, few inches from
the tree or plants to be irrigated. Wa
ter is filled in the boxes and left to find
its way to the roots. This places the
water where it will do the most good
precludes the possibility of waste and
overcomes the objections to surface
irrigation.
