sian government ordered that the New
York Life be debarred from doing bust
ness in Prussia so long as any of its
funds were invested In industrial
stocks. 1t is alleged that Messrs. Per
kins and Fairchild engineered a dunn
my sale of stocks TO the trust company
of which Mr.. Fairchild is president and
that il was carried on the books of the
insurance company as bona fde sale,
but put down as loan In the books Of
the trust company. The alleged SALE Is
is said, was reported to the state super
intendent Of insurance as a bona flde
sale, and this, 1t is claimed, was false
and misleading. In making its report
the grand jury recorded its belief that
Messrs. Perkins and Fairchild had not
profited personally by the transaction
and that, though their action was in
violation of the law, they had believed
II to be in the interest of the policy
holders.
Mr.. Fairchild was born at Cazenovia,
n. ". in 1s42, graduated from Harvard
university in 1863 and from the law
department of the same institution two
years later. He began the practice Of
law in Albany, in 1874 became deputy
attorney general of New York state
and was attorney general in 1876 and
1877. He established law practice in
New York city and in 1885 was APP
pointed assistant secretary of the treas
ury department during the last two
tration. Since 1889 he has been en-
gagged in banking in New York. He
was leader in the famous "antisnap''
movement in New York to secure the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland in 1892.

THE DAIRY COW.
Some Points 10 Consider When You
Are Purchasing One.

Some Points TO Consider When Y0u
Are Purchasing One.
What is the correct type or conforma-
ton of a dairy COW? The points may
be briefly considered under FIVE heads
namely, dairy temperament, feeding
capacity, constitution, milk organs and
quality.
Dairy temperament is indicated by
spare, angular form; large, bright, ex-
pressive eyes far apart; large,
straight, prominent backbone and an
active disposition as opposed to slug
gishness. The spare. angular form in
dicates the absence of any disposition
to lay on fat, and the large backbone,
large, bright eyes, broad forehead and
general sprightliness indicate an abun-
dance of nerve or working power.
Good feeding capacity is indicated by
a long. deep barrel or coupling. large
muzzle and a good constitution.
Constitution and MIX Organs.
A good constitution is indicated by
large, bright eyes, deep, broad chest,
large heart girth, large, open nostrils
and a soft, plable skin, with plenty of
secretion.
Good milk organs are indicated by
large evenly quartered. elastic udder
running well forward and well up be-
hind, large, tortuOus milk veins run
ming we'll forward and preferably
branched and large. deep milk wells, of
which there is usually only one on Ell
Their side. More are much appreciated.
The teats should be of moderate size
and squarely placed.
Good quality is Indicated 10y loose,
and Il general refinement, especially in
the head. neck. withers. thighs and
limbs.
The Cows Jdder.
The udder OF the COW is an impOr-
tant organ. but is frequently misjudg-
ed Flcshy udders, no matter how
large. are undesirable. They possess
small milk celebrating capacity and
are more subject to disorders than
nlOOcIalc SiLcu eldSllC uuucIS.
Another point that needs emphasis is
the importance of constitutional vigor
in the animal. 4 good mixer is one of
the hardest worked animals we have.
and unless possessed of n good consti-
tuition il can never do its maximum
work. and an early breakdown may be
expected.
When purchasing a pure bred COW or
heifer you should know the record Of
her dam as well as that of her sire's
dam, and the further back consecutive
ly good records can be traced the more
valuable the animal.
Pure Bred stock.
The chief and important advantage
of pure bred animals lies in the fact
that they are capable of transmitting
their own qualities to their offspring
with a far greater degree of certainty
than is the case with animals of pro
miscuous breeding This emphasizes
the importance of purchasing only the
best when buying pure bred stock, be-
cause an inferior pure bred animal.
cannot be expected to breed anything
but inferior stock. while common or
native inferior stock may by chance
drop fair individuals occasionally

SHEEP DOGS ARE KNOWING.

Recognize by Sight and Smell Each
Animal of Flock.
What herd dog has first to learn is
sheep, and to know them both by sight
and SMELL This he does thoroughly.
When Watterson was running sheep on
the plains he had young collie not yet
put to the herd, but kept about the
pumping plant. AS the sheep came In
by hundreds to the troughs the dog
grew so to know them that when they
had picked up a stray from another
band he discovered it from afar. and,
darling as a hornet nipping and yelp-
ing, parted it out from the band. At
the time no mere man would have pre-
tended, without the aid of the brand,
to recognize any of the thousands that
bore it
How long recollection stays by the
dog is not certain, but at least a
twelvemonth, as was proved to Filon
Girard after he had lost a third of
his band when the Santa Anna came

of saffron-colored dust on its wings.
After shearing of next year, passing
close to another band, Filon's dogs set
themselves unbidden to routing out of
it, and rounding with their own. nearly
twenty head. which the herder, being
an honest man, freely admitted he had
picked up on the mesa following after
Filon the spring before.
Quick to know the willful and IN
biddable members of a flock, the wise
collie is not sparing of bites, and, fol-
lowing after stubborn stray, will Of
ten throw it and stand guard until help
arrives or the sheep shows a better
mind. But the herder who has a dog
trained at the difficult work of herding
sheep through the chutes and runways
into boats and cars for transportation
is the fortunate fellow.
There was Pete's dog, Bourdaloue,
that at the Stockton landing, with no
assistance, put 500 wild sheep from
the highlands on the boat in eight min.
utes, by running along the backs of the
flock until he had picked out the stub

sheep to jam in the runway, and by
sharp bites, set them forward himself

German Psychologists Make Ex-

Until quite recently practically all
the studies of digestion have been CON
fined to an investigation Of the chemi-
cal changes going on in the digestive
tract Several German Psychologists
have lately turned their attention to
the study of the mechanics of the
stomach digestion, and have arrived at
most remarkable and interesting con-
illusions. which are widely different
from the theoretical teaching that has
prevailed in the past
Starting With animals, the work has
progressed to include human processes

with animals who We're killed and their
Stomachs Immediately frozen, so that
the exact conditions prevailing in life
could be investigated at leisure
Grutzner, who was one of the earliest
workers in this field, concluded that the
stomach contents was divided into lay
ers, the food taken last being surround
ed ly food taken earlier and thus pro-
tected for time from contact with the
stomach walls. In effect, one portion
of Sthe stomach. the so-called fundus.
constitutes a storage section, where the
conversion Of the starch particles into
sugar By the action of saliva is con-
/ tinued without admixture with the gas

Recent experiments have confined the

the stomach does not mix its contents.
they adduce the fact that starch d.
