VARIATION IN cows MILK.

The seasonal variation in cows milk,
ascertained from a five years study
in herd of about six hundred cows,
all registered or graded Jerseys, on
a New York estate, disclosed the
rather interesting fact that the rich

proportion of fats and totals solids,
is obtained during December, Janu-
airy and February, in the order
named.
March and April are not very far
behind but the decrease is practically
continuous 1ntil July, when 1t reaches
its low level, after which follows
gradual monthly increase until De-

OLDER THAN RoMuLUs.
Traces Of a Great City on the Site OF
Rome Before Roman Days.

Information has been received from
Rome of new archaeological discov-
cries on the Palatine Hill which tend
to confirm by new evidence the hypo'
thesis advanced some years ago by
Giacomo Boni, director of the Forum
excavations, that people much more
ancient than the earliest Romans so
far recognized once occupied the site
of Rome.
Signor Boni, who has successfully
uncovered vestiges of the empire, re-
public and kingdom, has found along
the Via Sacra tombs in the form OF
wells, with pottery, jewelry, amulets
and skeletons, which he believes are
of people who lived much anterior
to the Romans properly so called.
The discoveries have caused many
controversies. The utmost admitted
was that some people had occupied
the territory prior to the time that
Romulus and Remus are reputed to
have founded the Eternal City. Re-
Gently excavations of the Palatine Hill
have brought to light sepulchres OF
great antiquity, apparently sustaining
Signor Boni's contentious. There are
tombs in the form of.wells like those
of the Forum, and seemingly they be-

GIRL SHOT BY SUITOR
Tried To Kill Her When She Refused
To Marry Him.

Snow Hill Especially Miss Bessie
Lambertson, seventeen years DID,
daughter of Mr.. John Lambertson,
well-known farmer, living near
Klej Grange, Worcester County, was
shot twice by Lode Davis, reject
ed sutton, and is now in a critical
condition. Davis afterward commit
ted suicide.
Davis went to the home of the girl
early in the evening, and, after sit
ting a while in the parlor, prevailed
upon her to take a moonlight drive.
On the return and within hundred
yards or so of her home he asked
her for the third time If she would
marry him. She said she never
would marry him. Davis said:
''If you don't marry me you Will
never marry any one else," and with
these words on his lips he drew a
pistol and shot her in the forehead.
The girl fell back in the carriage
and cried out; Lode, you have
killed mel"
His reply was: ''Will you marry
me?" She answered: 81 cannot,
Lode; you have killed me-
Again he fired at her. This time
the bullet entered her right breast
and she fell headlong out of the car
riage. The wheels passed over her
and she was left to die.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lambertson had re-
tired for the night, but the latter
could not sleep. About a half hour
after the shooting she got out of bed
and went on the porch and walked
around and wondered why Bessie
did not return. She heard moan
ing noise and finally made out that
it was a human voice. She called
her husband, and after short time
they found their daughter lying in
the woods. She was too weak from
loss of blood to tell them what had
happened, but later recovered suffi-
GENTLY to tell her story.
DR.. Bennum, of Girdle Tree, was
sent for and removed a bullet from
the young woman's back, the ball
having gone clear through. DR..
Bennum says if pneumonia can be
prevented he may be able to save
her life.
Davis drove off with the vehicle,
which he had hired at a livery in
Stockton, but soon after abandoned
it, and the horse returned to the
stables at an early hour next morn
ing, the seat and bottom of the
buggy being covered with blood.
Searching parties at once started
from the scene of the crime in search
of Davis.
Davis was found dead short dis

HAz1NG AT NAVAL ACADEMY.
Second Glass Reported To Resumed
The Practice.

Annapolis Especially There are
persistent rumors here that hazing
in some form is being attempted Dyi
members of the second class at the
Naval Academy, the fourth class
men, who have Just entered, being!
the victims. 1t is also understood
that the Academy authorities are in!
vestigating, and will act with firm
ness and even severity If it Is found
that there is any revival of the prac-i
tice. Should it prove true that haz-'
ing Is going on at present, 1t Is be-
ing done by the section of half the
present second class, the only mid
shipmen who are now at the Acad-l
envy, besides the hundred or more
fourth class men who have Just en-
tered
1t as been known for some time
that n element among the midship-
men was heartily in favor of restor-
ing the practice that would generally
be called hazing, though the idea
| was to make such changes in the
manner of carrying it out, as would
enable them to call it by some other
name, much as was the case when
| it was called running"
Those midshipmen who favor the
restoration of the practice argue that
the last fourth class was the most
careless and unsoldierly, as a rule,
of any class that had been In the
Academy for years. Many OF the
upper class men say that this care
lessness of manner and bearing is
due to the fact that hazing had come
to an end, and that the means which
: the authorities took to set the new
midshipmen up were not nearly so
effective as the coercion of the upper
class men under the "code."
1t is understood that the members
of the fourth class and candidates
in Annapolis who expect to join the
class have agreed to resist being
hazed by the upper class men.

PIG RATIoNs AND RESULTS.

PIG RAIlONS AMI REoOL1O.
The Storrs Agricultural Experiment
Station, of Connecticut gives in bulie-
tin 40 the following conclusions on pig
feeding rations:
The pig among farm animals is not
ed for his great capacity for assimila-
ton. But with the animal the econo-
my Of gain is greatly affected by the
character of the ration.
One lot of three pigs required 2,739
pounds of skim milk containing 23O
digestible nutrients for 100 pounds OF
gain. Eight lots, Of % pigs required
1,0S6 pounds of skim milk and 253 OF
shorts, containing 258 pounds OF d.
kestible nutrients, for 100 pounds OF
gain. And one lot of three pigs re-
CURED 445 pounds of shorts containing
s94 pounds of digestible nutrients for
400 pounds of gain.
Milk is an easily digested food
When fed alone in the above TRIALS,
100 pounds of gain were made from
1he least amount $3.50 pounds) of d.
gestible nutrients. When shorts were
substituted for a portion of skim milk,
more nutrients (25S pounds) were re-
quired for 100 pounds gain in weight.
When shorts were fed alone the most
nutrients (294 pounds) were required
for the same gain.
The reader should bear in mind that
the financial problem is not here con-
sidered. 1t is admitted that while skim
milk is easily digested, it is too bulky
In character. The capacity OF the pig
to digest and assimilate is greater
than it's capacity to consume this wat
cry fluid. At ordinary market prices,
a pound of digestible nutrients would
cost twice as much in skim milk as in
shorts. Experience shows that from
a financial standpoint, the most eco
nomical gains are made when skim
milk and grain are fed in the proper
ton of ga to /. But the trials show,
from physiological standpoint that
less nutrients are required for given
gain when the ration consists of easily
digested foods. The conclusion seems
warranted that the food requirements
for maintenance and for production
(milk or growth) depend not only
upon the composition and digestibility
of a ration but also upon the facility
with which it is digested and assimi-
lated. :

ABOUT cHuRN1NG BUTTER.

The temperature for churning de-
ponds upon the time of year, weather.

A thermometer should be used in
getting the cream into the right tenn

he quits churning when the butter
graduates, and the grains are the size
of wheat grains and are well separ'
ated from the milk. Draw off the but

perature being about the same as that
of the butter. Wash twice or until
the water runs off clear. Take the

the butter is we'll gathered and then

THE FALL CALF.

The beef calf that is born in the
fall must be kept growing. This will
require more care on the part of the
farmer than it would if the calf were
born in the spring and had the use
of the luxuriant pastures of early sum-
mer. The fall calf must be kept warm
as we'll as be well fed. AS soon as the
dam begins to be insufficient other
milk should be given, preferably fresh
separator skim milk Glover hay
should be fed at an early age and
some corn given daily as soon as the
calf will eat it, especially if the own
er is able to give other food rich in
protein. Calves digest corn better
than mature cattle-Iowa Farmer.
