Water For Cows.
Correspondent in Exchange. ]


Ordinarily the small cow drinks
from six to eight gallons of water
in twentyfour hours, and the large
cow drinks from seven to nine gal
Ions. There is no fixed measure, as
no two cows, even of the same breed,
or of the same weight, or on the
same rations of the same feed, and
yielding practically the same guam
tity of milk of the same quality, will
drink exactly the same quantity of
water.
| have one small COW that seems to
be satisfied with five gallons of wat
err a day, while another of her weight
takes seven gallons. A neighbor
has larger Holstein-Friesan COW
that drinks over ten gallons a day,
and another quite as large as that
takes only eight and one-half gal
Ions.
My experience is that the young
er cows require more water, and
that there is a decrease each year in
the water taken as the cows grow
older. In some cases even this does
not hold good. A COW out of sorts
will drink more or less as she is chill
ly or feverish.
Indigestion, pasturage, changes in
ration, irregularity in feeding and
and the amount of exercise
are factors that influence the drink
ing of the mich cow. The charac-
ter of the food has much influence.
Drysfood calls for more water. Sue

A Confusion of Wives.

Occasionally this excess of wives in
Utah leads to amusing consequences,
as when one of the Apostles invited
a visiting Gentle to dinner. The
guest lost the address, and looked up
the Apostle in the Dictionary. He
observed that his hostess, though she
answered to the proper name, SEEM
ed unprepared for him, and present
ly he heard her at the telephone.
"Oh, Emma. Is John living at
your house this week? Is he ex-
pecting somebody to dinner to-day?
Very well. The gentleman will be
there in a few minutes"
Then, returning to the stranger,
she handed him a paper slip.
You came to the wrong house,
sir. This is the address you want. "
On another occasion, a little girl
came running into the parlor while a
visitor was calling.
Mamma, mamma, papa wants his
suit case packed. He is going to live
with Aunt Emma this week"

FUNNY STOCK.
Some of the Freaks on Pennsyl-
vania'S Wild Animal
Farm.

Come good crops or bad, the wild
animal farm does a thriving bust
ness. Its cosmopolitan population,
gathered from Asia, Africa, India,
from every cline, do not take kind
ly to farm work. The camels refuse
to pillow; no amount of urging will
induce the zebras to do the work of
horses; nor will the yaks or the sa-
cred cows do the work of ordinary
oxen. Actually the farm is great
animal boarding house, with board
ers" from all over the world. The
farm, which comprises some 300
acres, is located near Allentown,
Pa. Its population last year num-
bered more than 300 head" of diff
ferent kinds of stock, and COM
prised large and fairly complete
menagerie.
During the summer months the
entire population of the wild animal
farm travel about the country in the
vans of the Greatest Show on
Earth" Early each fall the animals
return to their quiet Pennsylvania
farm to enjoy a well-earned vaca-
ton. 1t is great day for the coun-
tryside, for miles in all directions,
when the circus comes to the coun-
try. The great herds of camels,
dromedaries. yaks, buffalo, llamas,
and the rest, are shipped to the near
est railroad point and paraded across
country to their winter quarters.
The caravan makes a very pretty
picture as it moves slowly along, up
hill and down dale, over the quiet
country roads.
The winter residents of the Wild
animal farm are known in the circus
as the lied stock" In the cross
country march to the farm it might
more correctly be called the pulled,
pushed or hauled stock" The jour-
ney is usually very exciting. In the
various parades of the Barnum and
Bailey Circus throughout the coun-
try these same animals will remain
perfectly passive in the streets of
great cities, no matter how loudly
the band may play, the calliope
whistle or the small boys shout. But,
strange to say, a quiet country lane
affects them very differently, and
they will balk as only a camel can,
shy at the most innocent bush or
tree, crash through high fences or
hurdle them, and go flying over the
surrounding farms, to the consterna-
ton of the farmers. The caravan
starts on its journey promptly at
sunrise, and it is usually late in the
day before the farm is reached and
the last unruly runaway rounded up
and safely stabbed.

WITNESSED MURDER
of Elizabeth Gillespie. But
Kept Silent,
Did Not Want to See"Jim' Hang
ed Says an Old Friend of the
Convicted Man.

A startling story is ahoat at Ris-
ing Sun. Ind, which, if confirmed,
will solve the mystery Of the murder
of Elizabeth Gillespie, on December
8. 1903. Her twin brother, James
Gillespie, is now in the State Prison
at Michigan City serving life SER
tence for the murder, and Mrs. Belle
Seward and Mr.. and Mrs Myron
Barbour are under indictment
awaiting trial for alleged participG-
tion in the crime.
An old man who lives near the
scene of the murder, has, since, the
conviction of Jim Gillespie, told sew
eral persons that he saw the shoot
ing, and he has described with min
ute particulars what took place on
that dreadful night.
At the time of the trial of jim
Gillespie this man was supposed to
have some knowledge of the affair,
but he stubbornly refused to give
the prosecution any informa-
ton. He has said that on the even
ing of the murder he had gone to
the public well, ashort distance from
the Gillespie home. He set down
his bucket and just then there was
the flash Of gun. He looked up,
and saw Jim Gillespie with shot
gun in his hand crossing the street.
He is satisfied that Jim saw him. and
for a moment the old man thought
that Jim would shoot him. but the
assassin continued his flight.
The witness says he saw Gillespie
enter the Barber gate; and leap over
the railing that separates the Bar
Der and the Seward houses, and dis
appear in the Seward house. If the
old man is telling the truth he bears
out the theory of the prosecution as
to the way in which the young wom-
an was murdered. When asked why
he did not tell this story when Giles
pie was on trial, he is reported to
have said he knew jim, liked him,
and did not want him to be hanged,
as he felt he surely would be with
such testimony against him. Now
that Gillespie is in the penitentiary
he does not think that any furthur
harm could be done him.
This alleged witness of the assas-
sination has become very obstinate
and has utterly refused to say any
thing more, even declining to veri-
fly his first statement, which was
made several times. Many of the
citizens believe the story is true,
while others are inclined to doubt it.
The authorities will, however, sift
the story to the bottom, and try to
remove the slight element of doubt
that still hangs over the most shock
ing murder in the history of South
ern Indiana.
At the trial of Jim" Gillespie
there was no testimony to prove
that the assassin had been seen run
ming from the scene Of the crime.
One witness had heard hurried foot
steps and the noise of the click of an
iron gate. After the jury had re-
turned a verdict of murder in the
first degree every one of the jury
men said that had there been any ev-
idence to show that man had been
actually seen crossing the street
from the Gillespie home they would
have inflicted the death penalty.

less and drinks less water than the
COW on dry feed.
In providing a supply of water for
herd, it is well to furnish the wa
ter and let the cows measure the
drinks for themselves. Then they
will get the proper amount at the
proper time. Running water and in
dividual drinking vessels in the
stalls will solve the problem of wa
ter and drinking perfectly.
