SUPPLIES FOR posToFFIcEs.

One of the reforms inaugurated in
the division of supplies of the Postotfice
Department since that division was
placed under the supervision of Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Degraw
is the notification of postmasters through
out the country to order supplies for
their offices in sufficient quantities TO
serve for one year. There had been
previously a lack of uniformity in this
respect, postmasters sending in requisi-
tions at irregular intervals for varying
amounts of supplies. This caused coE.-
siderable confusion and entailed great
amount of unnecessary work in the dl-
vision of supplies. AS result Of the
new instruction upward of thirty-seven
thousand acquisitions have been received
from postmasters, most of them order
ing years supply. This large influx
of orders has caused the division to fall
considerably in arrears in the matter OF
filing acquisitions, there being now
about 1880 untitled acquisitions on
hand.
The department is experiencing diff
fculty in securing sufficient twine, which
is needed in large quantities by postoffi-
ces and the railway mail service, but
the twine contractors report that they
are making every effort to forward ade-
quate shipments during the coming week

NEW YORK MUCH INTERESTED

The publication of the letter from
e. II. Hartman to Sidney Webster anil
the correspondence between President
Roosevelt and Representative Sherman
and the President and Mr.. Hartman
was given the widest discussion in finan-
cial and political circles. The statement
given out by Mr.. Hartman in reply TO
the Roosevelt Sherman correspondence
was eagerly read, especially in Wall
street, where Mr.. Hartmann g position
as a leader in the railroad world has
given him such prominence.
Not the least interesting portion OF
Mr.. Harriman's presentation of his sile
of the controversy was his statement
that he could not withdraw anything
said in the letter to Sidney Webster,
in which he declared that it was at the
Presidents solicitation that he raised
100000 for use in New York State IN
the campaign of 1904, and that the
President agreed, "if found necessary, -
to appoint Senator Depew to the ampas'
sadorship to France.
1t was declared in banking circles that
light could be shed ON the question OF
campaign contributions in 1904 if the
books of the national Republican commit
tee were thrown open. Harry S. New
of Indiana is now acting chairman of
the committee.

ApuLTERAT1oN OF FOOD.

The Department of Agriculture is mals-
ing preparations to begin prosecutions
under the pure food law at an early
date, and DR.. Wiley, under whose direc-
ton as chief of the Bureau of Chemis-
try the work will be conducted, has Civ
en- instructions to his inspectors to secure
as soon as possible the samples on which
the accusations will be based. The Of
Tending establishments have generally
been located, and nothing remains to
prepare basis for the proceedings ex-
cept to obtain specimens of the articles
alleged to be adulterated or impure.
There will soon be forty or fifty inspec-
tors in the field, and DR.. Wiley expresses
the opinion that a large number of prose
cutions will result.

MRS. BRADLEY's DEFENSE.

Mrs. Annie M. Bradley, who shot to
death former United States Senator
Arthur Brown of Utah in hotel in this
city Dec. last, will plead mental irres-
possibility as her defense to the indict-
ment for murder. This fact came out
when her counsel asked the Supreme
Court of the District Of Columbia for
an order authorizing the summoning OF
thirteen witnesses from the West to lie
brought here at government expense 70
testify in her behalf.
Accompanying this motion is an afida-
Wit in which Mrs. Bradley says she Is
unable to pay the expenses of Witnessed.
1t is declared that the defense is to
prove hy the witnesses that ANY .5t
she committed that day "was the result
of her diseased condition of mind, for
which she is not responsible. -
The Criminal Court may set the trial
for April 25.

THAW DECLARED SANE
BY Lunacy Commission and Trial
Must Proceed-Prosecutor jerome
Dissatisfied and Will Appeal.

A New York dispatch says: Harry
K. Thaw is declared sane by the
unanimous report of the commission
in lunacy, appointed to inquire into
his present mental condition. The
moment the decision was handed
down from Justice Fitzgerald's desk
Thursday, District Attorney Jerome
was on his feet, vigorously protest
ing against its confirmation by the
court. He charged that he had been
excluded from the last session OF
the commission, and demanded to be
allowed to have access to the minutes
and stenographic notes of what trans.
pired at the final mental and physi
cal examination of the defendant
When Justice Fitzgerald declined to
turn the minutes over to the dis.
trict attorney, Mr.. Jerome declared
he would carry the case to the ap.
pellate division OF the supreme court
asking that a writ of prohibition or
mandamus be granted to prevent a
continuance Of the Thaw trial until
the higher court had ruled upon the
legality of the commissions course
Justice Fitzgerald reminded Mr.. Je.
rome that he had waived the statu
tory right of attending the last ses
sion OF the commission by suggest
ing himself that all the attorneys be
excluded from the sitting in ques
ton. He then granted the district
attorney an adjournment until Mon
day in order that he might have time
to prepare his application to the .ap.
pellate division. Mr.. Jerome protest
ed that the time was not sufficient
but Justice Fitzgerald cut him Short
with the announcement that the trial
must be concluded forthwith.
1t was authoritatively stated lats
Thursday night that District Attorne,
jerome will appeal from the decision
of Justice Fitzgerald. The appeal viii.
be in the nature of an action to OBJ
tain areview of the Justices decis
Ion, and will be taken in the appellate
division OF the supreme court.

Kindness to the Cow,

Kindness is an efficient aid in in
creasing the milk yield and costs moth
ing. The more the mixer can make
his cows admire him and feel comforta-
bic around him the more milk they
will yield to him. Investigations show
that a large proportion of the milk is
secreted in the COW during the opera
ton Of milking, especially the rich
milk, which comes last. Any abuse or
excitement reduces the secretion and
not only lowers the quantity of milk
given, but often lowers the percentage
of butter fat. Kindness and petting
make the cow contented and put her
nervous system in such condition that
the fullest yield of milk will be given.
This is not the only cause, but probably
the chief cause, of the wide variation of
butter fat, which Is shown by tests to be
due to the hurrying of cows, allowing
the dogs to bite them and speaking to
them roughly. all Of which will reduce
the milk yield and the percentage of
butter fat. A change of mixers will
often lower the amount of butter fat
until the COW becomes fond of the new
milker-PrOfessOr Oscar Err.

In the
Dairy

am frequently asked If it is ad-
yisable to raise the heifers first calf.
Being the first is hardly a reason for
rejecting the calf, but majority OF
dairymen have learned by experience
that to make good dairy COW it is
desirable to breed and develop the
heifers rather young, and sometimes
this is carried to extremes purposely
or unintentionally, and the first calf
is very small and possibly not as
well developed as is desirable. and
under these conditions we should not
raise the first calf. If the calf Is of
a fair size, well developed and Is pos
sessed of six or eight good incisors,
there is no reason for rejecting 1t. so
far as the calf is concerned. There Is,
however, another reason why the
first calf Is not so desirable. and that
is the entirely unknown dairy quail
ties of the dam. 1t is certainly always
more desirable to raise calf from a
dam that has proved her worth.-L.

Pointers From a Dairy Expert,


In dairy COW the skin IL coarse or
harsh means sluggish digestion inside,
and that means an expensive COW that
does not digest her food well nor
thrive WELL
Six per cent of the butter fat is lost
when it comes to the churning if the
cream is permitted to become too sour.
The fat is not destroyed in some mys-
ferrous way. but 1t simply fails to come
out of the buttermilk.
Any considerable amount of muscu-
lar exercise by cow giving milk must
tend to diminish the quantity and
quality of the milk produced or at
least diminish the total amount of
these constituents of the product.
In the dairy especially 1t is essential
to have the best stock that can be
produced and that are adapted to the
purpose for which they are kept. The
high grade butter COW will not only
give more and better butter than the
cow of no breed, but she will do 1t at a
less cost.
When churning proceeds too rapidly
as result of too high temperature
only part of the fat is solidified and
the balance or part of it is incorporat-
ed with it in an oily state; hence the
reason why such butter is always soft
and greasy.-Farm Moneymaker.

Water For Dairy Cattle.

1t is absolutely essential for the
highest milk production for an animal
to have good clean water and plenty
of 1t, says Professor Err. About 81
per cent of the milk is water, and if
the cows supply of water is limited
the milk yield is proportionately re-
duced. 1t pays to furnish pure, pala-
table water in summer as well as in
winter. Cows should not be allowed
to stand in ponds of water which be-
come so filthy that the cow frequently
Will not drink enough to maintain a
