HIGH PRICED COW.
Eight Thousand Dollars Paid for
 This Great Animal.

Eight thousand dollars recently paid by Daniel w. Field, the Brock ton shoe manufacturer and raiser of fancy cattle, for meek-eyed, pale faced but industrious COW makes this acquisition to Mir Fields herd of full blooded stock the highest priced bovine in the world.
 And Pontiac Rag Apple" this eu- phoniously dubbed Holstein-F -Friesian. although she has been in the hands If her present owner but month, has already returned 5000, or one- half of the price paid for her, a sum agreed for her next calf. which does not arrive for four months but which has already been sold to New York breeder of fancy stock.
 In addition to having immediately lalyed her cost this wonderful animal holds the second highest record for the amount of milk and butter pro- Guced by any one COW in the world.
 It is expected by her present owner that she will reach the champion pro- ddcing mark during the next year. She Is at present less than five years cd.
 Breeders all over the world look to Pontiac Rag Apple as the coming champion of dairy COWS.
 With the bluest of blue bovine blood in her veins, and with record of production that has jumped in three years from 190 to 279 to 309 quarts of milk per week, MT Field is confident that this COW will soon eatily carry away the worlds honors.
 One of Rag Apples records is A quarts of milk per day for 100 days at stretch. Another is the produc- tion of 31.62 pounds of butter per week, less than three pounds below the championship mark of 34.31.
 At 5 cents per quart for milk Rag Apple is to-day netting her owner an l.come of $2.20, or, if her milk is turned into butter, the yield is about 3% pounds per day.
 In case of future sons or daughters each of the former will bring from $4,000 to $5,000, while the latter, owing to the royal breed of the moth CT, can easily be disposed of at or be- fore birth for from $1.000 to $2,0O0,
 Rag Apple is as mild as a summer afternoon. She is hornless. and clear white. with the exception of a few scattering dark spots in her neck and Hanks.
 Since her arrival at Mir Fields farm in Brockton she has been con- valescing from her long trip in a boa csr from Heuvelton, N. Y., where she was purchased.
 Provided with a sumptuous boa stall and blanketed and straw bedded to suit the most fastidious bovine taste. Rag Apple will be given every opportunity known to Holstein breed. CTS to verify Mir Fields expectations

 Be Tested.

Washington, Feb 1.-The supreme court of the United States to-day granted a motion made by Attorney General Bonaparte permitting the government to intervene in the case of Damselle Howard against the Illi- nois Central Railroad company and advancing the hearing in the case set for April 8. The case involves the cgonstitutionality of a railroad em- ploye's liability act, passed at the last session of congress. The case is con- sidered to be of great importance, not only because of similar cases that have arisen and will arise, bu. be- cause of the principle involved.
