A Discriminating Verdict.

Representative Broussard, Of
Louisiona, gives this as specimen,
of a peculiarly drawn jury verdict,
says the Washington Times.
A fellow had put load of buck
shot into the anatomy of a neighbor
who persisted in trespassing on his
land. The buckshot, each and
every one of them, hit where they
would do the most good, and the re-
suit was that there was dead man
with his body riddled with leaden
missiles. Now, the fellow who did
the shooting was very popular
man, and had a good bank account,
100. 1t was evident from the first
that the coroners jury didn't have
any idea of holding the man for muir
der. The jury deliberated long and
"isely. and returned this verdict:

An Electric Cow-Milker.

The applications of electricity are
now many and various, and the posi-
bilities of a still wider and more va
ried use are almost beyond concep-
ton; but probably few have thought Of
the electric agent as a substitute for
the old-fashioned method Of milking
cows. But our consular agent at Gems.
Germany, in a report to the state de-
partment. describes an electric appa-
ratus for milking cows actually in use
in that part Of Germany. In this con-
trivance rubber hoods are attached to
the udder Of the COW. These hoods
are connected with q vessel for re-
ceiving the milk by means Of rubber
tube, frum which the air is exhausted
by means of the electrical device. II
is claimed that the suction thus Sc
cured resembles very closely the suck
ing of a calf, and that for this reason
the COW ''iets down" her milk more
freely than when MIXED BY hand. It
Is also claimed that absolute cleanli-
ness Of the milk may be secured when
this method of milking Is employed

Use some good spray to protect the
herd from flies. 1t will save many
times its cost.
That frowsy, sore-eyed calf has no
disease, 1t has lice. Give 1t greasing
with lard and sulphur.
Wonder II your finger-nails haven't
something to do with that kicking
COW? See II they are not too long and
sharp.
The wise dairyman will test the COW
with keen appetite and find out what
she is doing with the large amount Of
feed eaten. II she is returning a profit
on the cost, give her chance.
The use of preservatives in cream
shipped to a creamery should be dis
couraged. as the preservative inter-
feres with the development of the
flavor.
Tho dairyman can rejoice in the fact
that his farm is increasing in fertility
every year, even IL he is only making
q li,,ing at the business. The only pos
sible exception to this is the man that
produces milk to sell whole.

Neat and Convenient Arrangement
That Makes Photography

Women have taken to photography
as q pastime. and. in the many public
competitions by illustrated journals

shown q wonderful proficiency. But
to make photography a real pleasure,
care and neatness should be observed
in all It's processes. AS beginners soon

to ensure freedom from these and
other troubles Is to keep q constant
eye On all the implements and aces
series that you use.

Judge the photographer and her capa-
bilities by the condition Of her dark

A POUND OF BUTTER.
Some Advice, Which II Needed, VIII
Produce q oilt-Edge
Article.

In the official report on the Farmers'
Institutes OF Canada last year. the
dairymaids and farmers wives were
told-what they doubtless knew be-
fore-that a pound Of butter contained
16 ounces; but when 1t came to the
characterization of each Of these 16
ounces, we believe that most Of them
learned something new. This Is the
way the ounces were described:
/. One Ounce OF Wisdom.-Let us
show wisdom in selecting and demand
ing only the best.
2. One Ounce OF Precaution.-We
will take the precaution to properly
prepare our utensils. and leave them
IN good condition when we are through
with them.
3. One Ounce of Concentration
Have your mind on your work and
YOU will make no mistakes.
4. One Ounce of Cleanliness.-This
Is the dairyman's n.otto, and needs TO
he exercised in the whole process OF
ALTERNATING.
s. One Ounce OF Determination
This will help US to overcome all din
culties. +
6. One Ounce Of Prevention.-The
science of ALTERNATING is made upi
almost entirely of preventive meas
ures.
z. One Ounce Of Forethought.-
Which is needed at every stage.
s. One Ounce OF Professionalism
are the requirements of the market for
which this butter is being made? We
will consider this, and develop flavor,
add salt and color to suit our Gus
toners.
8. One Ounce OF Discrimination
This is needed to distinguish fiavors.
II is also needed in choosing parch-
ment paper, salt. etc.
10. One Ounce of Accuracy.-By
making use of the scales we shall
know how much butter there will be
In churning, and thus gauge the
coloring and salt, so that we may have
uniformity.
ii. One Ounce OF Judgment.-We
need to have good judgment in choos-
ing the temperature at which to churn.
and for making conditions favorable
for churning at a low temperature.
II. One Ounce of Common Sense
If we use this, we will stop churnina
when the butter is in granular form.
AZ. One Ounce Of Patience.-We
must have patience In using the Their
mometer, in draining the wash water
on the butter. and in giving the salt
time to dissolve.
IA. One Ounce Of Exper.ence.-This
will help us in knowing when the but
ter is worked enough, and not over.
worked and greasy.
Is. One Ounce Of Neatness.-This
applies 10 person and produc, and es-
pecially to the printing and wrapping
Of the butter.
16. This Is the Ounce of Honor
We will do our best, use what is best.
end give such weight that the butter
will be full 16 ounces when 1t reaches
the consumer.
