WIFE STILL UNCONSCIOUS.
BUFFALO, N. Y, March 11.-Mrs.
Arthur Pennell who, with her hus-
band was dashed over an embankment
into the Genres quarry, yesterday
afternoon, is still unconscious at the
sisters hospital, and there is no hope
of her recovery, according to the at
tending physicians. Mrs. Pennell is
suffering from a fractured skull and
probably internal injuries. She has
not been able to give any account Of
the events which let to the death Of
her husband. Following twelve days
after the murder of Burdick, the
death of Pennell, who has been men-
toned in the case, has given rise to
all manner of surmises today. In
vestigations by the police have
brought little that is new to light, but
the opinion is general now, that it
was an accident and not suicide.
At IL o'clock it was stated by the
surgeons at the sisters hospital that
Mrs. Pennell's temperature and pulse
are rising rapidly with no hope of re-
covery

WASHINGTON, D. c., March Ii
At the opening of the senate today
Senator Frye, president pro tenn, call.
ed the attention of the senators to
the fact that under a strict interprela-
ton of the rules, only such business
as properly belongs to the matter
under consideration in executive ses-
sion, should be presented at this extra
session of the senate. He said it only
confuses the record to have other bus
mess introduced now, as it would all
have to be reintroduced at the reg
ular session in December. Allison,
of Iowa, offered a resolution which he
said he thought was proper at this
time, authorizing the committee on
rules to reexamine the rules of the
senate, with a view 10 ascertaining
what changes if any, ares necessary,
and especially to make inquiry wheth-
er this expedient would in any way
limit debate in the senate, and if SO,
to what extent. The resolution furth-
er provides that the committee is auth
orized to sit during tn recess of the
senate, and are directed to submit
their report to the senate, of their con.
clusions, as soon as practicable after
the beginning of the session, next De
cember. The resolution was referred
to the committee, to audit and control
the contingent expenses of the sen
ate. The senate then on motion of
Cullom of Illinois, at s12:10, went
into executive session.
The Senate committee on foreign
relations today authorized favorable
reports on the extradition treaties re-
Gently negotiated between the United
States and Mexico. and Guatemala
The Mexican treaty is an amendment
to the existing treaty between those
countries, adding the crime of brib.
cry to the list of ofrenses. TGuate-
malan treaty is new, and covers all
the crimes usually included in extra
dition treaties.

cur,
\ giant Of dogs; with soft. silk fur,
Poised head of an intellectual size,
And two straight, luminous hero eyes.

And this dog looked. upon the whole,
AS if he had gathered some crumbs of

That fell from the feast God spread for

Looked like a line of the human plan.

ed stride
A dignity oft to man denied.

The grand old dog lies still and dead.
Oh, man-like brain and god-like heart!
You were made to carry a noble part.

And that is better than most men do;
And if ever I get to the great just place,

Deem Flowing.

Much of the advice in favor Of deep
blowing is out of place on hill farms
with the topsoil only six to eight inches
deep. Flowing which brings much
subson to the top is not desirable. But
there are many fields with good depths
OF rich. dark loan that have never
been properly worked. Such lands
need never be called worn out until
thorough blowing and narrowing again
has enabled the plant roots to get at
some of the locked-up fertility in the
bottom layers. Simply to bring up the
lower soil and then to turn it down
again the following season is not need
ed so much as to thoroughly twist and
fine the soil. exposing 1t to air and
sun. For potatoes and root crops deep
blowing is desirable, also to loosen the
soil for root and tuber growth.-Amer-
lean CultivatOr.

P1nn of CattIc Bnrn.

Eastman Bros, of Illinois, in the
Breeders Gazette describe the plan
of cattle barn which they have
used for several years.
The barn is 96 feet by 4S feet 1t
is a pole barn with posts 20 feet high.
ard a corncrib 80 by II feet runs
through the center of the barn. The
lower boards of the crib are hinged
ard feed boxes built on level with the
crib bottom so as to make practically
a self-feeder, especially when feeding
sEelled corn. Hogs sleep under the
cCrncrib.
Hayracks on the sides are eighty feet
long. Hay is put In at the ends Of
the barn. Sliding doors, controlled by
weights, are used at the ends OF the
NOW. They are closed when the hay
is in the NOW. There are doors along
side of the haymow. When filling the
NOW we leave a space of four feet
between the hay and the sides of the
barn, which enables us to throw hay
into the racks when feeding. The
south end is open. The north end has
doors which we close in bad weather.
We have lots on the north, south and
east of the barn and scales east of

Feeding SOFT Corn.

Feeders who tried finishing cattle on
soft corn reported very unsatisfactory
results. But the Iowa experiment sta
ton recently marketed some cattle fed
on soft earn alongside others fed on
sound corn of the 1901 crop, and the
results were decidedly favorable to the
former feed At the prices for soft
and sound corn prevailing when the
cattle were put on feed the advantage
was with the lower priced corn. And
the steers fed on it outdressed by a
small margin those fed on sound corn.
The difference in killing, however, is
not greater than might occur in any
two lots of cattle. Either the feeders
have been wrong in their estimate of
the value of soft corn or the Iowa
stations experience is exceptional
Probably difference in the quality of
the corn may account for it, as some
feeders include in their definition OF
soft" corn the light, chaffy, imma
ture stun of comparatively low feed
ing value.-Stockman and Farmer.

Attachment for Team Harness.

There are but very few of the ar

which still retain their old form, with
little change or improvement, but
among this number may be counted
the harness which is used on horses

same pattern Of harness has been used
for many years past, while other
things introduced with 1t have been
altered beyond recognition or displac-

Why, she's not particularly difficult

AS time goes on the consumers OF
fruit inllrge quantities, which are main
ly found in large cities, are becoming ed
ucated to quality. The time has gone
when they are deceived by appear
ance The writer has seen many con-
sumers go to stores for apples and
taste several varieties before buying.
In this way they learn to fight shy
of such fine-looking fruit as the Ben
Davis apple. which is so devoid or
quality. Then there is a decided In
crease in the consumption of baked
apples in restaurants and hotels, hence
the owners Of these places have
learned to buy those varieties that
have good quality rather than good
appearance, and, as a rule, are quite
willing to pay for what they want.
Growers of fruit should take this les
son home and make up their minds
that in future the consumer must be
catered to If fruit is to be sold at a
fair margin of profit. The question of
grades must also have attention. for
these city consumers who are willing
to pay for quality want that quality
in size and perfection of fruit as well
as in the flavor. There is a market
for second and third grades as well as
the first grade, but they must be dis
tinctly separated to bring the best re
turns for each.-IndianapOlis News.
