The herd on the w D Hoard farm
closed their years record on the 18th of
last November. There we're eight heif
ers in the herd and no grain was fed
from the 18th of May to the 10Th of Oc
tober. Some ensilage was fed from the
latter part of July to the 25th of Sep
TENDER when the silos were filled. The
whole herd averaged 6,75O pounds of
milk testing A., from which was produc-
ed 322 pounds of butter fat. The cash
earnings of the herd for butter fat S76.27
per COW. The skim milk averaged $500
per COW. This made total of $92.47 per
COW. The cost of the keeping was $3.50
per COW, which, taken from the gross
cash earnings, leaves profit at the pail
of SCI II per COW.
In the death of Mrs E Ell Bragg there
went to her long rest woman of re-
markable ability in many ways. The
model COW stall now in use at the Pros
pect Farm of w D Hoard, and in the
dairy stables of many of the noted breed
ers of dairy cattle in the United States
and Canada, was first brought to notice
by Mrs Bragg at convention OF the
Wisconsin Dairymen's Association in
Sparta about 20 years ago. At this con-
vention she exhibited a model of this
stall. She had found a crude sketch of
the idea in an eastern paper and had
worked it out to practical success in her
own stables. She was essentially sue
cessful woman in all she undertook,
whether it was dealing with the prob
lens of animal life on the farm or those
that involve the we'll being of society at
large.

CORRESPONDENCE
Stoughton

Ole Trulson, who underwent very
serious operation at the hospital last
week. is reported to be doing very nicely
and is on the road to complete recovery.
In runaway last Saturday evening,
caused by bolt falling out of the bug
gy in which he was driving, James
Knight, Jr, was thrown out of the rig
near the Hutson House and broke his
right ankle.
The members of the Rutland cream
cry are about to disband, as it has been
a losing investment for some time on &C
count of lack of patronage. The same
may be removed to this place where it
is thought larger territory can be TAX
en- in and the plant be put on paying
basis.
A deal was consummated Wednesday
evening whereby the Melaas-J ohnson Go
becomes owner of the Anderson & Liebe
hardware stock. An archway will be
built between the two buildings, giving
the Big Daylight store frontage of 1O4
feet with the exception of the bank cor
ner. Mr. Liebe will retain an interest in
the business and act as general manager
of the hardware department. With this
acquisition to the large store makes it a
mammoth concern indeed.
The council formally accepted the Ii
brary gift of $4,000 from Andrew Car
negie Monday evening by passing an
ordinance complying with Mr. Carnegie's
requirements. The ordinance, which
appears in full on another page, appro-
pirates the sum of $4,000 for a SITE the
sum to be raised by an annual special
tax for the next three years. An annual
tax of not less than $1,000 was also voted
for the maintenance of the library The
ordinance will, no doubt, be criticised by
many, but by the time our public library
comes to be appreciated as much as sim
liar libraries are in scores of cities in
this and other states, our citizens will be
unanimous in commencing the action of
the council. No site has been decided
upon yet but the locations most favored
are the Nels Thompson and Lusk cor
ners on Main street.

two drivers and horses fell in heap.
Mr.. Mckay had one hip and his back
badly wrenched and bruised and was
unable to continue the race or even
to sit up. Smith Thomas, who was
just behind the two drivers driving

to pull out toward the fence or run
over the fallen men and horses. There
was not room for him to pass through

FEATHERS"
THE CAT HEN
This Marvellous Wonder Will be on
Exhibition at the Fair Free.

Mr.. John A. Murkin, Jr., editor of
the Southern Poultry Magazine, pub
lished at Nashville, writes Mr.. r. s.
Hopkins that he will exhibit during
the Fair the world famous wonder,
Feathers, the Cat Hen. free in the
Poultry Department in the Floral Hail.
This marvellous cat is the property of
George Nones, of New York, and has
been exhibited at Madison Square
Garden, Luna Park, Coney Island, and
will be at Madison Square and Bos-
ton this winter This cat will also be
on exhibition at the State Fair at
Nashville. She has Matched and rails
ed one brood of chicks and she will
be exhibited by Mr.. Murxin with
young brood of chickens Matched here
in Columbia. The strange feature
about the cat-mother is that she cares
for them the same as a hen, and it
makes no difference whether she
Matched them or not. Feathers" is
really a cat to be desired and IL her
kittens take after the mother they
ought to command a high price among
poultry men.
