Montgomery, November 1s.-(Special)- | The last case against former Probate Judge Frank c. Randolph was wiped off the court records of Montgomery county this morning, and he is now free from all l charges against him because of alleged shortages in his office as probate judge several years, and about which he left the state and spent some years in Gen. tral America. The cause on which trial was had was decided in his favor by the jury without leaving their seats. At the suggestion of the solicitor all the others were mol pressed.
 Judge Randolph found himself behind in his office in 1895 and left the state. Later his books were examined and he was Indicted in thirteen counts on embez element charges the cases including both state and county interests. While out of the United States he inherited a fortune and with it he paid back all he owed and came back about six months ago with every cent against him. either in private account or In his office, paid He has a great many friends and it has been recognized from the beginning that he would be acquitted finally.

A Michigan gardener writes: Take
any land that will stand drought. put
at least one load Of well-rotted manure
on every square rod of ground, pillow
and fit the ground well, set plants in
rows 10 inches apart and six TO eight
inches apart in the row (set with an
old brick troweD, keep the surface
well worked till the plants cover the
ground, after which no weeds will
bother. By raising celery by this
method the plants become dense, and
consequently darken the lower parts
of the plants, causing the celery to
grow white from the center. None
but White Plume will grow successful
ly this way. White Plume can be
grown in single row and be blanched
by placing bundles of corn stalks on
both rows. Bundles should be at least
eight inches in diameter. l grew
White Plume celery 33 inches high
last year on high ground, and it was
as white as snow. l find the Giant
Pascal is best for late winter use,
but it has to be earthed to blanch
These two varieties are the best to
my notion.

HOW to Mnrket the Rutter.

Those who possess the knack Of max
ing butter that has that fragrant
flavor that distinguishes the produce of
many farm diaries, often make the mis-
take of keeping the butter on hand too
long after it is made before marketing
1t. 1t will be found that however pal
atable it may be, and however good
the flavor 1t possesses when first made,
it will have escaped after too long
keeping Even when transported long
distances it loses its distinctiveness
while In transit. In fact, it seems that
butter which possesses to a large de-
gree this much-desired flavor deterio-
rates much quicker than an inferior
kind. AS a consequence OF this, the
farmers wife who makes a superior
article which has a local reputation for
excellence should endeavor to dispose
of the product to local trade, or at
least sell it so near home that it will
be but day or two between the churn
and the customer This can be easily
managed in almost any locality where
there is a market for it by securing
list OF private customers and furnish
it to them direct as they need it, This
class of patrons are much more profit
able year in and year out than the city
hotels or the commission houses or
those customers who buy in the gen.
eral market.

Wedding On. the Cow..

| operate a farm dairy, make but
ter speciality, and wish to say that
in my opinion you cannot too strongly
urge the farmers who keep cows to
keep daily record of what they are
doing, weighing each mess of milk
and testing often enough to get an
average of its butter-fat, so that at
the end of the year they can tell just
what each COW is worth, from a butter
point of view. For more than two
years we have done So At the end
of the first year. although we thought
our herd was all good, we found
twelve out OF twenty-five cows that
did not pay. We sold these and re-
placed with others; some of our own
raising and some by purchase. This
year we find 30 per cent profit over
last year We have not found the
daily record hard to keep. Few farm
ers stop to figure. A cow that pro-
duces 200 pounds of butter per year
from $50 worth of feed, which sells for
20 cents per pound. leaves only $40
FOR care and the risk. The COW which
makes 400 pounds of butter from $50
worth Of feed leaves $50 for care, risk
and profit. besides a whole lot of sat
isfdction to her owner. You never
know which COW makes this profit for
you except by using the scales and
the test.-F. c. Shepherd. in National
Stockman.

public, but. IL the cost of mainte-
nance represents 4 per cent on the in
vestment the total amount expended
for water softeners is nearly 100000.
The same experience holds true of
other railroads. At 10 water stations
along the Union Pacific 2,790 pounds of
solids are removed from the water
each day, almost as much as Is re-
moved from the water of 20 stations
along the Santa Fe system, although,
at the 10 Union Pacific stations, they
use about so per cent more water than
at the Santa Fe stations.
The chemical survey of natural wa
tiers which is being made by the dydro-
economic experts Of the geological sur
vey is directed, in part, toward the To-
cation of available waters which may
be used for boiler purposes without
treatment. If, by extensive surveys,
such waters can be discovered and
their location made known, the saving
of a tremendous amount of money will
be effected. In the case of railroads
the cost of such great losses, as above
mentioned, is due largely to lack Of
informa tion concerning the sources of
water suitable for boilers, and they
will become the greatest beneficiaries
OF this phase of the work Of the gov
eminent.
