When the Jury Disagreed.

Some years ago, while l was residing
Mt Nisalla," remarked Attorney William
H. Afford, Il was called to Hanford to
defend a petty offender in Il justice 5
court The defendant had demanded a
jury trial, and we put in half n day try
ing to get "A jury, only to find out at the
end of that time that we had one lone
juror in the jury box.
well, I'm willing to try the case
with one juror said the attorney for
the prosecution.
so am L. | declared.
And we proceeded with the trial.
The arguments We're howlingly funny,
for the reason that the attorney for the
prosecution persisted in addressing the
lone juror as gentlemen of the jury
with feeling of pride and satisfaction
by some timely comment on the self
evident honesty, intelligence and in
tegrity of the body. | really thought |
had that lone juror won. Then the CON
stable led him out to the jury room,
where he might deliberate with himself.
In twenty minutes the jury returned
with the announcement that no agree
ment could be reached.
The jury disagrees, was the an
nouncement, when the court asked the
lone juryman if he had arrived at a
verdict. You see. it's like this he went
on to explain. When | consider the tes-
timony of one side | want to find the
defendant guilty, and when | consider
the testimony of the other witnesses
want to discharge him. | can't agree
with myself
And the jury was discharged. San

of the butter fat for a period OF two

Of the butter fat for a period OF two
weeks indicated that keeping off the
flies did not affect the milk yield. As
somewhat similar results were obtained
by experiments at the Connecticut sta
ton, it seems fair to concede that thu
injurious effects OF the fly pest hav
been exaggerated. During the fly time
the feed in most pastures is growing
poorer every day and the cows natu-
rally shrink then, but it is probably a
mistake to blame the flies for much Of
the shrinkage. For all that, It is
worth while to use the mixtures to
keep off the flies for The peace anc

Hard fruits, such as apples and

out being peeled or having the cores
or seeds removed, and placed in cold
water containing H. ounces of salt TO

fruit is then boiled to pulp and
strained, a yield Of about one-tifth the
original weight being obtained. PlumS
and soft fruits are treated in practical
~ the same manner. With plums the
strained pulp is swcctened with about
4.5 pounds Of sugar TO each hundred
weight of fruit and the boiling Contln-
ued until the pulp is thickened sutii-
GENTLY to hang from the spoon without
dropping. With raspberries and straw
berries the boiling must not be pro-
longed and the pulp need not be
strained through So fine a sieve as in
the ease Of plums. The chief points to
which care should be devoted are the
processes Of boiling the fruit. The first
boiling should be continued only so
long as the consistency Of the mass is
