We advise all farmers to take part
in dairy exhibits whenever they nave
the opportunity. Farm butter for eN
hibition should be made more care
fully than that for the general trade,
This may not sound like good advice
but the practice is in keeping with
that followed by the crcamerieS. some
butter.makers argue that butter for
exhibition should he just ordinary
butter, the true average Of hat sent
out TO the trade. If all b~uttermakers
would agree 10 this plan it would be
the best one to follow, but we know
for a fact that when ~creamcries eN
hibit at fairs or even at wOrlL y b
billions they use a butter far above
the ordinary in quality. Thus at the
great worlds fair held in 81. Louis,
Minnesota carried off the best pre-.
miums. The dairymen of other states
found fault with the Minnesota dairy
men, because they claimed the butter
made was far superior to that turned
out by these crCamericS in ordinary
times. From the creameries, inspect

The farmer that makes butter for
exhibition must follow the general tao.

competitive tests of ordinary quail

in making butter, and no one expects
that they will be OF the merely aver
age quality. When the farmer IS pre-
pairing to make butter to send TO any
exhibit he should make sure first thai
it is perfectly clean, and that the COWS

is done, no matter how clean the COWS
may be. There is a very fine dus'

Poultry Notes.
One often sees wood ashes used In
the poultry house in winter, either
combined with the manure to keep 1t
in good condition for use in the gar
den, or scattered on the shelves be.
meath the roosts to make them easy
TO clean. This is a great mistake, as
much of the value of the manure is
lost on account of the chemical change
caused by the union of the W sub
stances. 1t causes the ammonia in the
manure to be liberated and 1t passes
OFF into the air and is lost. Not only
that, but the ammonia is not Il good
thing for the fowls when they are
confined in such close quarters. Saw.
dust, dry earth. dead leaves or coal
ashes may be safely used, as they
cause the loss of no valuable ele'
mentS.
We feed all nuts left after the sea-
son Is over to the fowls, cracking
them very fine, so that they can clean
all the meats out. Walnuts and but.
ternuts are easiest for them to han.
die, but they also get much good from
hickory and h%a2elnuts. The nuts sup.
ply an element that the fowls can
otherwise get only in meat, bugs and
worms, and being fed in winter when
such food is hard to get, forms a
valuable addition TO their r%ations,
For a change we often soak the
grain fed the fowls, letting it remain
in water for a day or two before feed.
ing. Occasionally corn, oats and
wheat are roasted so that much OF the
grain is charred on the outside.
They eat it greedily, and besides
changing the diet, the charcoal is a
great benefit TO fowls, preventing in
digestion and keeping them healthy.
Ordinary charcoal broken in small
bits is also given occasionally, being
placed in Il hot oven for a few min
utes before being fed, 80 that al
dampness is removed and the char
coal put in condition to give the best
results.

TAKE over ANOTHER ISLAND
American Provisional Government to
Depose the Cuban
Mayor.

Havana.-With the establishment
of a provisional government in Cuba,
the mayor of the Isle of Pines
will be recalled and an American pro-
v~islonal government established there.
Many attempts have been made by
Americans on the Isle of Pines to
overthrow the Cuban control of the
Island. Delegations have visited
Washington, and actual war was threat.
ened at the time. The Americans
claimed they were in the majority on
the island and that, therefore, they
should have American government.
The island will be taken over by the
United States should Cuba be annexed.
Only the mode of government of the
Isle of Pines will be changed, other
wise the island will remain a Cuban
possession.
That the island remain under con-
.rol of the Cuban government was pro-
vided for in the treaty pending
n the United States senate.

CONSCIENCE STRICKEN
CONVERTED TO RELIGION, DE-
sERTER suRRENpsRs.
LEFT NAVY FIVE YEARS AGO
Is Now a Minister, but Believes a
Jealous Woman Gave Detec-
tives a Tip.

Washington, d. C..-Conscience-
stricken, Rev. James R. Slayton, Jr.,
presented himself to the assistant Sec
rotary of the navy and asked that he
be arrested for deserving the navy s
years ago. Slayton said that his con
version to religion and service as a
minister OF the gospel caused him to
see the wrong he had done in leaving
the service, and he requested that
he be tried for the crime. He was
accompanied to the navy department
by officers of the Salvation Army,
with whom he has been associated in
religious work. Mr.. Newberry referred
Slayton to Capt. Wilson, who is in
charge of enlisted men.
After hearing Slayton's story, the
captain ordered him to report at the
Washington navy yard, and surren-
der himself to officers, who would
put him in prison and hold him for
court-martial.
AYE, aye, sir. l will report there
On my honor, sir" Slayton replied, as
he saluted the officer, and backed
away from him.
An hour later Slayton reported to
the navy yard.
At the navy yard the commandant
told Slayton he could not be held be-
cause of the statue of limitation. Stay
ton left the navy yard with Brig. Gen.
Little, Of the Salvation Army, and
together they conducted a meeting on
the street, when Slayton told the
crowd Of his misfortunes.
Slayton was arrested at Myersdale,
Pa, by a detective, but escaped from
ne officer, and came to- Washington
to surrender himself. He explained
to the officers at the navy depart
ment that he is a regularly ordained
minister Of the Evangelical associa-
ton, and has charge at M%yersdale. 1t
is charged by Slayton that a woman
in Cleveland, who is jealous of him,
and was angry because Of his recent
marriage to another woman, caused
the detectives to pursue him.

DUG UP DEAD BODIES.
T%errorists Force a Priest to Give His
Solemn Blessing Over Them.

LODI, Russian Poland-An immense
crowd eXhumed the bodies of the ter
rorists, hanged here during the morn
ing, collected offerings for cof-
fine, and forced a priest to give
his solemn blessing. While this was
going on, a squadron of Cossacks sud-
denly appeared, and charged the
crowd, beating the people with whips
and swords. Many persons were in
jured, and 80 were arrested. The
Cossacks compelled their prisoners to
rebury the bodies Of the t~errorists.
There was a second sitting of the
drumhead c~ourt-martial, and more ex-
ecutions are expected today.
The strike has spread to the neigh
boring cities of zgierz and Pabianl.

America has so much u~ndeveloped
land that natural and unmolested
parks can be found all through the
country. But in time this may be a
thickly populated country, and then
our posterity will feel the wisdom of
their fathers in setting aside forever
extensive preserves in the interests
of patriotic memory, Of beauty and of
recreation. Two such preserves of re-
cent establishment are the Platt Ma
tional park in Oklahoma and the Mac
donough National park in Lake Cham
plain, on the Isle st. Michael. In the
lake Champaign park lie buried the
Americans and British who fell in the
battle Of September II, 1914.

Men who wear silk or '~stovepipe"
hats know that the temperature inside
the hat iS much higher than outside;
but it has remained for a French ply
stefan to measure the difference. He
has discovered that when the Their
mometer registers 80 degrees in the
shade in the outer air it stands at 1OS
degrees in his silk hat, and that
when it is 6S outside 1t is 8S inside.
From these differences he concludes
that the unnatural heat causes many
nervous diseases. Other persons have
supposed that the heat Of the hat
made men bald.
