SENATOR OF PLEEEiAN TASTE
How Hoar, of Massachusetts,, Silenced
"Gusher."

The late Senator Hoar, rather
against his will, once found himself at
a sort of literary reception Members
of reading clubs Browning societies
and similar earnest folk were thick
about him. The senator bore up well
for some time, but was finally forced
to seek relief in his famous bunch CT
keys. About this time a lady of the
gusher variety cornered him and be-
gan to talk literature
ooh, senator" she chirped, "how |
dote on Rossetti Browning, Of course,
love, and in prose Walter Pater, but
always | find myself returning to
Dante Gabriel Rossetti Tell me, sena-
tor, who is your favOrite author?"
Bill Nye," came the answer, with a
quick twirl of the keys.

Location of Barn and Care of Yard

Location of Barn and Care of Yard.
In the production of clean milk, no
one thing is of more Importance than
keeping the COWS out of the mud.
Many yards into which dairy COWS are
turned each day for their drink and
exercise are knee-deep with mud and
manure during the winter and sprlng,
II not nearly the entire year. In sum
mer when the COWS are on pasture,
they would keep comparatively clean
were they not obliged to wade through
filthy yard in going to the stable.
In locating dairy barn care should
be taken to have a gentle slope from
the barn in at least one direction, al
fording good natural drainage for poth
barn and yard. If the barn is al
ready built and poorly located, drain
age and grading will do much to rem
edy the evil In most cases 1t would
take but a small amount of labor with
pillow and scraper, when the ground IS
in suitable condition to handle, to
give the surface of the yard a slope
from the barn sufficient to carry OH
the surface water. Even If dirt mas
to be hauled in from outside the YARD
to accomplish this, it will not be eX-
pensive Tile drainage alone under
yard is not sufficient, as the tramp
ing of the cattle soon puddles the sur
face, preventing the water from pass
ing down to the tile.
After the grading is done, the yard
should be covered with gravel or Gin
ders. BY putting the coarser in the
bottom and the finer on top, good
hard yard can be obtained and at a
comparatively small expense where
material of this kind is available. II
this cannot all be done in one year
it is of the utmost importance that a
beginning be made by grading and
graveling a portion of the yard next
the barn, SO that the COWS may have
some place on which to get out OF
the mud and filth. By grading part
of the yard each year and applying a
thick coat of gravel or cinders to the
SiduSu pdlI, INC SIlilG ydlu VIII, III q
few years, be in good condition. When
gravel does not contain enough clay
to pack hard, a small amount of clay
should be mixed with the top layer.
1t will then form a firm surface.
A portion of the yard should be
bedded, thus affording the COWS a
place to lie in the open air ON pleas
ant days. If straw is scarce, the clean
est of the soiled bedding from the
stable will answer this purpose. When
the straw and manure on this bedded
portion of the yard become too deep
and soft, it should be hauled into the
field and the bedding commenced
again on the solid yard.
1t is advisable to haul the manure
directly to the field from the barn
but if this is not feasible, it should
be removed at least 100 feet from the
barn. In no case should it be allowed
to accumulate against or near the
dairy barn, and no swine pen should
be nearer than 200 feet on account OF
the odors being readily absorbed by
the milk. w. j. Fraser.

A DEER HUM.

Escaped Animal chased In Brandy
wine Hundred Yesterday.
There was a deer hunt 10 Brandy.
wine huddred yesterday, which was
not very successful.
Last week a new deer was received
at the Zoo. The little animal had the
reputation Of being runaway.
Several people we're gathered in the
studio Of hobert shaw, the artist, on
Penny Hill, yesterday morning, when
one Of their number looked cut Of
window and saw a deer about 200 feet
away, gazing at the studio.
There is that deer that escaped
from the Zoo, said one Of Mr.. Shaw 8
guests. The party, consisting Of Oliver
Mousley, William Shaw, David Shaw
and Robert Shaw, Immediately took
notice. Several members of the party
started after the deer The latter
jumped several hedges and stone walls
so easily that the party soon gave W
the hunt. Frank Mahaffy secured a
horse and started in pursuit, but the
deer was too swift for him. It took
refuge in the bush on the farm OF
Isaac s. falley. The party telephoneo
TO the Zoo managers that the deer had
been seen.
On Wednesday a white swan, last
one in the park, died. 1t is supposed
that Il pined away and died because
/ its mate was dead, as Dr. MahaifJ
held a post-mcrtem examination, auC
could find nothing the matter with thu
bird. On Thursday the deer referred {,
above escaped aud Jocko, a monkey
turned cannibal, and slew and par d,
ate his companion. On Saturday
goose died in the water fowl inclosur
and yesterday the keeper was stricken
with paralysis.

Auoolated Press Dispatch By Special Wires
Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. l5.-Whon the
Pennsylvania Legislature assembled In
session IN the new State
Capitol today, there was no fixed pro-
gamme, aside from that enumerated In
Gov. Pennypackers, proclamation and the
supplementary call. There was a marked
absence OF the party leaders and politicians
who usually come 20 Harrisburg for tho
opening of every session of the General
Assembly, and so far neither party has
arranged for the customary caucus.
Everybody who has anything 10 do
with the work which the governor has
mapped out for the Legislature seems
anxious TO get through with it as quickly
hs possible and adjourn. The sentiment
among the legislators is that the reform
programme can be carried out in It's en-
tircty in 80 days and that there is no oc-
casion to extend the session beyond that
period
Personal registration and other bills TO
carry out tho reforms which the governor
has proposed have already been prepared
and are ready for introduction as soon as
The committees have been appointed
There was apparently no opposition be-
fore the Legislature went into session to
the officers and employees Of the last rerii-
lar session serving In the extra session.
and it was thought that no question
would be raised as 70 their right 20 serve.
Speaker Henry n. Walton said that
the House, after receiving and hearing
read the governors message, would prob
ably adjourn until tomorrow. when he
would announce the committees for the
session. As soon as the committees have
been named bills viii be introduced and
the real work of the session will begin.
Neither the governor nor his advisers
apprehend any organized opposition Ia
