Trial Of Case State vs.. Roswell p
Crafts-Death Of Mrs. Fox.

, Wednesday afternoon occurred
the hearing OF the case state VS.. Ros
well +, Crafts on the charge of fur
nishing intoxicating liquor to A. N
Cakes and TO c., de w. Lyman a few
weeks ago. The court was held IL
the town hall and quite large num-
Der were present. j. III. Kidder was
the justice. o. Il. Butterfeld APP
peared as counsel for the state and
Il. w. Gibson of Brattleboro for the
respondent. A jury, consisting of F
Il. Medbury, foreman, Albert NJ. Fox
Leonard A. Brown, Albert C. Buell.
Charles C. Barlow and Everett Baker,
was duly empaneled. II appeared by
evidence adduced that the two young
men, Cakes and Lyman. were found
In a state OF intoxication near the
residence of Arthur d. Howe ana
were taken to their homes by Mr..
Howe. Cakes and Lyman disclosed
that they obtained the liquor from
Mr.. Crafts. The issue of the case
was whether Crafts invited them into
his house and furnished the liquor
with intention of producing intoxica-
ton or whether they were guests In
his house and were being treated. II
was shown conclusively that Craftss
house was not a place of public re-
man were not habitually addicted to
the use OF intoxcants. Two wit
nesses were called who swore that
Crafts had asked them to come in
and have drink but whether It was
to be a drink OF whiskey or water
was not stated. Both declined the
invitation. The case was well tried
and the lawyers upon either side
made able and convincing arguments
II seemed, however. to the jury that
the state had failed to make out
case for they returned verdict Of
not guilty after very short consul
tation.

PRIZE BLACK WELSH STEER.

nent was made until within few re-
cent years. The first herd book was
published in 1874, embracing both the
so-called Castle Martin cattle of South
Wales and the Anglesea of North Wales
The former are coarse boned, with fiat
sides and defici ent beef qualities, but
good mixers. The Anglesea cattle, or
''runts," as they are called, have been
so greatly improved that they are now
recognized as distinct breed with a
separate herd book of which the first
volume was published in 1888. The inn
provement in these cattle is the result
OF careful selection and breeding, to
which they have responded rapidly.
The large bone, slow growth and light
quarters have been bred out, and a
fine, blocky animal is the result, like
that shown in the illustration above,
which is a lifelike reproduction of a
Welsh steer that won the prize breed
cup in the Smithfeld club cattle show,
London. His weight was 2,464 pounds.
Fat COWS of the same breed have al
tanned weights of 1900 to 2,40O pounds.
The cows are deep and long continuing
mixers. producing an average yield of
from IL to IA pounds daily at the flush.
The milk is fairly rich in butter fats.
With their extreme hardness. early
maturity, good beef and dairy qualities,
the North Welsh cattle are rapidly
growing in favor among British feeders
and breeders and seem worthy of atten-
ton in this country.-Farm and Homie.

GOOD BUTTER SALT.

Dairymen Should Exercise Great Care in
Its Selection.
Hunter Nicholson says in the Jersey
Bulletin that there is almost as much
difference in the quality of salt as III
the quality of butter. Good butter salt
is fine-grained, bright-colored, clean,
pure and free of foreign odors. 1t
must be fine-grained in order to mix
readily and dissolve regularly and
quickly through the butter; bright
colored, showing that it is we'll crystal
lized; clean, that is, free from foreign
substances; and free from bad smells.
which salt is very ready to absorb. Salt,
like everything else sold, is likely to
be adulterated. Baryta is most COM
monty used. A simple and trustworthy
test Of salt may be made by dissolving
a small quantit y in clear, hot water.
This will bring out any bad flavor AMI
disclose the presence of any foreign
substance. Pure salt will make a clear
brine and deposit no sediment. If
the brine smells, is cloudy or colored,
Or leaves a. sediment, do not use the
salt for butter. There are a number of
excellent brands of salt, prepared ex-
pressly for the dairy. If you can find
out where they are sold, get lot; be-
careful, however, not to keep it near
any ill-odored substance, as it absorbs
cdors very readily, and, once absorbed,
the salt is ruined beyond remedy. Be-
sides the American salts, there are one
or more foreign brands of excellent rep
utatiOn.
