below the surface, on the outside of
the gatepost; that it was covered
with piece of sacking and fine thin
wire was attached to the cork of a
tiny bottle of acid, which lay above
a heap of potash and sugar deity
placed over the explosive. The little
wire from the bomb came just above
the surface and to its end was at.
tached a fishhook. A screw eye was
driven into the gate and a piece of
iron wire was attached to it. When
ready for use it was easily slipped
into the fishhook lying on the ground.
The slightest opening of the gate
would do the rest. Three efforts had
been made TO get Judge Goddard,
but all had failed, and finally Orchard
had been called off to await more
propitious time. However. the screw
eye would be found in the gate, and
the bomb in the ground, as he had
never removed them. When this state
ment was read Judge Goddard arose
impulsively and with a backward
look said, Wait for me-. and went to
his home. He returned in less than
30 minutes, the perspiration standing
in big drops on his brow, and under
the gray beard it could be seen that
his mouth trembled.
It's there he said, sitting down
quietly, and they looked at each other
with a new horror shining in the
depth of their eyes.
Well, said McParlan. interrogat-
lively, what do you adviser
go on said Chief Judge Cab
bert. We will hear the rest"
| 1t is claimed by the authorities that
their Investigations have confirmed
to a remarkable degree the story
told by Orchard concerning all these
episodes. 1t is said that even the
bomb buried under Judge Goddard's
gate has been dug up.
All of this truly has a most ugly
aspect, but who can really credit a
labor organization with the awful de-
gree Of atrocity here indicated? The
case looks sinister, but the man Or
chard has an evil reputation which
must greatly lessen the force of his
confession. He may be lying, and it
is hoped that such will prove to be
the fact.

Poultry Points.

Place not more than 80 hens in one
room. If you have greater number
and larger space than IL by II feet,
divide the pen. Have your roosting
poles and nest boxes at such hight
that the hen win not have to jump up
nor down, as this is the cause of
bumblefoot, and also of breaking the
egg bag says the Massachusetts
Ploughman Give enough room on the
perch so that one wing will not come
in contact with the other. This is
often the cause of cold Have
plenty of light in the pen, but avoid
too much glass. The hen will sit in
the sunshine until she is uncomfort-
ably warm, then move to another part
of the pen which is not of the same
temperature Consequently she takes
q chill and egg production is stopped.
Encourage the pullet with a stone
nest egg. and this will save her the
anxiety of looking and looking for
nest. Domesticate the hen SO that
YOU can at any time take her eggs
from the nest and she will sit undis-
turbed Be kind to her; speak to
her: she sings for the rich and poor
alike; do not excite her more than is
absolutely necessary. Keep the pen
clean, removing the droppings hot ie~-
than twice a week. Ventilation is
necessary so that there may be con-
slant supply of fresh air. Even when
the weather is very cold it is well to
air the hen-house thoroughly, as the
sunshine will dry up the moisture
and keep the place sweet. Be careful
to avoid a draft. In winter the hens
should be kept just warm enough so
that they viii scratch for their food
and not sit all day on the perch. In
this case the eggs she contains will
be absorbed to sustain her. 1t has
been said of the hen, The harder she
scratches, the more eggs she lays.
Keep the temperature just above
freezing II the temperature is sucn

Arkansas station that definite amounts
of the meal be fed to hogs of certain
weights. These recommendations are:
For pigs under so pounds of weight
one-fourth pound day; so to 20
pounds weight, one-fourth POUNDS aday:
40 TO 100 pounds weight, two-fifths a
day; 100 to $50 pounds weight, one
half pound day The amount of cot
ton-seed meals fed to hogs should
also bear certain ratio to the other
components of the grain ration. 1t is
recommended that cotton-seed meal
be fed in proportion or one part to
five. six, seven or eight parts respec
lively of the other grain for the -four
classe of hogs just mentioned on the
basis of weight. Wheat bran has been
found to be particularly desirable
material to mix with cotton-seed meal
on account of the fact that it appears
to render the whole ration safer thar
wnen the meal is mixed with ground
corn.

Farmer and Party Wire.

When the independent telephone
companies first began to come to-
gether in conventions to exchange ex.
per.ences, one fact was always com.
mented upon with great curiosity by
the managers of town or city plants
This was that they invariably met
with failures in their endeavors to
induce farmers to put in what are
known as lockout devices, by
means of which every telephone on a
party line becomes practically a pri
vate wire. In cities the party line is
considered a great nuisance, because
there is no privacy in conversation
and all the bells on the line are rune
each time a subscriber calls. Ma
turafly, the managers of plants figured
that this objection prevailed in tine
country also but. almost without ex
ception, they found that one OF the
great attractions to the farmer was
that his telephone did ring every time
the other sixteen or twenty people or
the line rang up, and that he could
hear or be overheard in conversation
1t was a practical demonstration oil
the social hunger the farmer has en-
dured for centuries, and which is now
ended, thanks to the arrival Of teie
phone competition. Success Maya

Effect of siIaae on MIX.

Il The value of feeding corn silage in
serder to obtain good milk production
has been pretty well established
throughout the dairy farms of the
country. Where dairy farming is con
Quoted ON a large scale this method
of utilizing crops has been found fav-
orable. However, from time to time
objections have been raised to the use
of silage on the ground that 1t i'm
parts an unpleasant or disagreeable
flavor to the milk. This is the sub
ject Of experiments recently reported
TO the department of agriculture. The
OreS On station has found that the
COWS there when fed corn silage pro
dJce milk with a more pronounced
odor than when they are fed hay, al
all disagreeable.
Soy bean silage was fed at the
Washington station and this material
was found to have bad effect upon
the quality OF milk, butter and cheese.
The conclusions of the stations are
that satisfactory dairy products cannot
be made, when cows are fed on soy
bean silage. Earlier experiments made
with corn silage at the Wisconsin
station demonstrated beyond ques-
ton that when silage is fed a short
time before milking {. sweetish odor
is impaired to the milk by which it
may be detected from milk not pro
duced from silage. 1t was further
demonstrated that il the silage is fed
to COWS, just after milking, in the
majority of cases milks so produced
could not be separated, by the sense OF
smell, from nonsilage milks." Butter
made from such milk while still pos
sessing the sweetish odor was scored
by expert higher for flavor than other
butter
The Illinois station made some ex-
periments by which one lot of cows
was fed 40 pounds of corn silage
daily, while another lot was fed only
clover hay and grain. Samples or
milk from each lot was submitted to
372 persons for an opinion as to any
differnce in the flavor OF the two
samples. The results showed that
go per cent preferred silage milk, 20
per cent nonsilage milk and II per
cent had no choice. Five samples OF
each lot were sent to milk experts in
different cities three of whom pre-
ferred silage milk, one nonsilage and
one had no choice. No complaint was
received from hotel to which silage
milk was delivered for one month.
1t is apparent from these experiments
that while a great number OF people
are able to distinguish between the
two kinds of milk. none objected to
either kind.
The conclusions of the department
of agriculture are that with the i'm
proved methods of using the silage
and with proper precautions to pre-
vent the milk after it has been drawn
from the COW from being tainted with
the Objectionable odor of badly fer
mented silage, the material may be
used without injury to the quality OF
the milk.

Butter Making on the Farm.

Among bulletins just off the press
at the department of agriculture is
one written by Prof Webster chief oil
the dairy division, bureau of animal
industry, on "Butter-making on the
farm" This publication is Farmers
Bulletin No. 241, and is written in the
simple style of all the farmers bulle-
tins. The subject is of much import
ance in relation to farm economy, and
there is no reason why the work
should not be thoroughly read and
digested by the dairymen and farmers
of the country. 1t treats of the vari-
Gus subjects from the milking of the
COW to storing and handling the finish
ed product for market Prof. Webster
advises in the bulletin, dairy cleanli-
ness not only in the milking, but rec
ommends that the COW, stable uten-
sils and surrounding should be in the
cleanest possible condition. The pres
ence of bacteria in the milk or its
product has a tendency to. cause fer
mentation and a consequent spelling
of the milk or butter. Milk is often
spoiled by allowing it to stand in the
barn too long after it has been drawn
for it absorbs odor of the air, and
odors of the barn are, therefore, very
much in evidence. For this reason
the milk should be removed to a
place free from odors. This bulletin
describes in detail the proper method
of constructing suitable. room in
which to store the milk and means Of
keeping it cool.
