The water used in dairy work is
mostly an unknown quantity. says a
correspondent Of Hoard's Dairyman.
A hole is dug or a pipe driven into the
ground, and the water obtained is used
without any question as to its suitable
fly for butter making or quality for
boiler use. Every step In dairy prac'
tice calls for water. pure water with
out any question as to its freedom
from conta mination with organic mat
ter or an excessive mount of miner
ais, yet almost invariably no attention
is paid to its quality so long as !
tastes and smells right. Taste ant
smell are poor tests for the quality o
water. 1t may be contaminated will

~Alexander's Palace.

ner much more substantial than that
Of today. though advocates of steel
construction claim that the modern

any of those built by the ancients.
Time alone will determine how much
truth there is in this contention. On

Lady Tennyson.

Shortly after Lady Tennyson's mar
rage one of her women friends wrote
the following: "We would find Mrs.
Tennyson alone in the large drawing
ROOM, always writing, arrayed in a
dress of soft gray merino trimmed
with velvet or fur and with a long
train, a piece of rich old lace. worn in
stead of a cap, dropping over her hair
behind and coming to a point in front.
She was extremely kind in lending us
books. Among these ! particularly re-
member Fichte's philosophical works,
which she admired greatly. Her man
ner was always most gracious apd dig
nified. perhaps rather languid. but this
arose chiefly from lack Of vitality or
physical strength"

A GOOD WIDE YAWN.
1t Is a Splendid Reviver For the
Whole Body.

kbOuS.
A good. wide, open mouthed yawn is
q splendid thing for the whole body. A
yawn is natures demand for rest.
Some people think they only yawn be-
cause they are sleepy. but this is not
80. You yawn because you are tired.
You may be sleepy also, but that is not
the real cause of your yawning. You
are sleepy because you are tired, and
you yawn because you are tired.
Whenever you feel like yawning just
yawn. Don't try to suppress it be-
cause you think it is impolite to yawn.
Put your hand over your mouth if you
want tor but let the yawn come. And
If you are where you can stretch at the
same time that you yawn just stretch
and yawn. This is natures way of
stretching and relaxing the muscles.
Don't be afraid to open your mouth
wide and yawn and stretch whenever
you feel like it. Indeed, if you are
very tired, but do not feel like yawn-
| ing, there is nothing that Will rest you
so quickly as to sit Of a straight back
| chair, and, lifting your feet from the
| floor, push them out in front Of you
as far as possible, stretch the arms,
put the head back, open the mouth
wide and make yourself yawn.
Those tense nerves will relax, the
contracted muscles will stretch and the
whole body will be rested. Do this two
| or three times when you are tired and
see what it will do for you.

A story of Sam Houston.

There is q story about General Sam
Houston OF Texas and a ~practicing
physician who did.not like the old gen.

General. Z like you well enough social

Professor D. w. May of the Ken
lucky experiment station is the author
of a recent bulletin III the feeding of
dairy cows, which may be summarized
as follows:
Select cows Of dairy type. While
pure bred dairy animals will bring a
higher price they will also tend lore
to produce the dairy type and are
therefore recommended.
Take strict account of the cost of
milk and butter from each individual
cow of the herd, so that the u%nprofita-
BILE ones may be culled out.
Exercise and pure air are very es-
sential TO the best results from milk
ows bet exposure to severe weather,
especially cold rains. should be avoid
ed.
Feed to get the larger amount of
milk with profit. The yield of milk
and thereby the yield of butter is
greatly Influenced by the amount and
character of the feed, the percentage
Of fat remaining fairly constant.
Increase the amount and the length

resent profitable gain in dairying.
Study the profit in grain feeding in
order to avoid giving more grain than
the value of the resulting increase
yield. Our leading grain ration is Il
combination of ground corn and bran.
This ration may under some circum-
stances be made better or cheaper by
the addition of certain byproducts Of
cereal and oil mills.
For Sore Teats.
Most farmers are acquainted with
the difficulty in milking the cow that
cut her teats on the barbed wire fence.
A little lard put on the cut a few mo-
ments before milking will so soften it
that the COW will give the mixer no
trouble.
Consider the Cow.
Before you kick the COW for not
standing still while you milk think
how the cow feels about the milking
process.

Coincident few days ago with
the advance of so cents barrel In
the price of -four, wheat dropped
from ~ to 3 cents In the specula.
tive markets. The greatest de-
cline being In the spot article, 1t
would..seem that the effect ought to
be Immediately felt In the cost OF
-four to the consumer, but the mil.
lers Insist that they must keep
their prices up so long as wheat Is
selling as high as dollar bushel.
While the increased price Is In some
measure due to the heavier demand
from abroad for the American pro
ducts, mainly because of the Rus
sia. Japanese war, 1t Is also true
that the people are paying for Ar

WHEAT AND FLOUR

100000 which Is said to represent
his profits must come out of their
pockets.
The operations of the big specu'
lators encourage the farmers to
hold their reserve stocks with the
hope of selling at the top figures
that may be reached In the markets
that control the current quotations.
There Is not a very great amount of
wheat In sight, and most of that Is
In the hands of Armour and his
clique. This fact renders 1t all the
easier for them to prolong their
grasp of the situation. Then, again,
the prospect for more than aver
age crop of winter wheat does not
appear to be promising. Taking
all these circumstances int con.
sideratlon, the outlook < Is that the
prices of -four and bread are more
likely to go up than down.

Murder at Benwood
Monroe County 0.

Mrs. Samuel Barackmsn, of Ben.
wood.
Bad blood had existed between
the two boys for some time and on
the above mentioned night they
were In attendance at singing
school given In the school house at
Benwood. It Is said that words
passed between them and that the
Barackman boy walked out of the
house into the Yaid. MeCollum
followed him. He had In his hand
an open clasp knife, with which, he
claims, he was pairing his finger
nails at the time. The quarrel was
resumed. Suddenly and without
warning, 1t Is said, McCollum
stabbed the boz In the left side Of
the neck, the knife penetrating to
a depth of about two inches, sever
Ing the jugular vein. The unfor.
|tunate victim fell to the ground
without a cry and bled to death In
a few moments.
The authorities here were at once
notified and deputy sheriff Thomp'
son and an assistant went at once
to the scene Of the tragedy and
placed rhe youthful criminal In GUS
tody. he preserved stolid COM
posture until placed In the jail here
Saturday morning when, seeming
to realize the enormity of his
crime, he broke down and cried
bitterly.
The body of the murdered boy
was placed In a boiler house near
the scene Of the occurrence and was
later removed to the home of his
parents. An inquest was held Sat
urday morning and 1t was discov-
cred that the blade of the knife had
penetrated clear through the wind
pipe. The body was searched and
a loaded revolver was found inside
of q case In one of the hip pockets.
The affair Is creating much ex
element, especially 50 because of
the extreme youth Of the lads.
Later
This (Monday) morning the
criminal was given hearing before
Mayor Thompson aud was charged
with murder In the second degree
He was bound over to court In the
sum of $1,000 and the case will be
given hearing In the April term.

For assessor R. W. Roger will be

For Collector the convention will

T. J Loughuey, G. R. Kerr and
II. q. Work will be the other
councilmen.
In some respects this Is a very
good ticket and some of the candi'
dates will be hard to defeat. Taking
both tickets through from top to
bottom they are as good candidates
perhaps as we can expect to be
nominated In this city. The elec.
tion of either ticket will be an iru.
provement over the present coun-
ell. As to who will be elected may

are waiting to hear from the can
didates before deciding which mar
to vote for hence Its hardly posi-
bic to predict who will win out

in connection with the canal, on the
ground that the Spooner Act is un-
