cellent records nave been made by
COWS older than this, The quality of
the milk produced by hcifers Is some
what better than tnat of older cows,
fer we find a decrease of one to two
tenrhs OF per cent. in the average
fat content for each year till the COWS
nave reached the full ace. 1t is
caused by the increase in tae weight

The Cabbage Hair-Worm.

The cabbage hair-worm is the sub
ject CT circular No. 50 of the bureau of
entomology, United States department
of agriculture the publication of which
was made necessary by numerous ir
qdiries in regard to the identity and
alleged poisonous nature of a minute
worm popularity known during the
years 1903 and 1904 as the cabbage
snake" During the former year the
species first attracted attention, but
was not considered seriously, as it was
we'll known that nair-worms are not
in any degree poisonous-in fact, they
are perfectly harmless and even, to a
certain extent, beneficial as they
destroy by Parasitism the pernicious
codling moth and several species OF
destructive grasShoppers or locusts.
There Is no doubt, on the other hand,
that the majority of the reports of
damage to the cabbage crop were
'lunded on fact We nave positive
knowledge Of one of these in Tennes-
see, where fully So per cent. Of the
states cabbage crop was lost in 1904,
Similar losses were reported in vari-
Gus portions OF Missouri Iowa. West

PRUNE THE SHRUBS.

The lowering shrubs which have al
ready bloomed shcud be pruned now,
says the Garden magazine. Most peo-
pie who spoil the Towering shrubs do
so because they prune them at the
wrong time Of the year. Tie expert
gardener, who really knows what he
wants, and how to attain it, can prune
al anytime of the year, but for the in
experience amateur it is wise to follow
this safe rule-prune after towering.
This is stating the idea in the shortest
terms, and in practice is the same as
pruuo spring-fowering shrubs in the
early summer, AMI tle late-tlowering
kinds, like the hydrangea, in the win
ter.
Pruning is done for these definite
Objects First, to keep the bushes in
proper shape; secondly, to keep them
within bounds; thirdly, to insure an
abundance Of bloom next year, These
three objects can De obtained at the
same time, but generally the third
feature is sacrificed 20 the other two.
The broad principle to observe is to
remove all branches which have flow
cred. This causes other buds to push
out and new wood is made for the next
crop Of flowers. All lead wood or
Overcrowded branches will of course
be removed in The ordinary course of
events.

to appear on Saturday before Court

AS it had been definitely announced
/ by Mr.. Pfster's attorneys at the be-
ginning Of the suit that they would
invoke the discovery statute as soon
as the issues in the case were Joined.

considerable comment and the impress,
sion was general that he had stolen a
march on Mr.. Pfster by causing HIM
/ TO be brought into court to answer
questions rather than be placed in
that position himself. Quarles
Spence & Quarles. attorneys for Mr.
Pfster, however, say this move on the

that as soon as the time for all the
defendants to answer has elapsed they
will summon a portion of all of them
under the discovery statute and pro-
coed with the examination as they
had intended
The entire matter now presents on
interesting state Of affairs and the
only thing that can definitely be
cleaned from it is that both sides in.
tend to make a vigorous fight.
In his answer, Mr.. Myrick admits
the allegations of the complaint with
respect to his position on the Free
Press, the political positions held by
other defendants and similar details.
He admits that there was a contest
between factions of the republican
party for supremacy, but derio that
this has engendered MOI, than usual
