sadger Cows Break worlds Records.

Wisconsin leads all the states of the
Union in dairy production records of
pure bred COWS, as is shown by the lat
est bulletin issued by the University of
Wisconsin Experiment Station.
The Holstein, Colantha 4thss Johanna,
holds the highest authenticated worlds
record for the production of butter fat
ever made by a COW of any breed. This
COW, during the year ending Dec. q,
1907, gave q, 1925 pounds OF milk and
998 .256 pounds of butter far, the average
fat content being 3.64 per cent. This
illustrates forcibly the wonderful devel-
opment of the modern dairy com, which
produced at least four times as much
butter fat as most good cows, and six
times as much as the majority of Ordi-
nary COWS in Wisconsin. A complete
history and record of this cow, includ
ing an account OF the method of feeding,
is given. together with full page pic

steamer La Rache went on the rocks
in a fog near MurOs, where the cruis-

impossible to obtain complete details,

known that f~orty-seven survivors were
landed at Muros, but that two of them
have since died. Fifteen others were
landed at Lon
According to the official lists the La
Rache carried a crew of ninety-eight,
including stewards, walters, etc. and
ninety-five passengers. The La Rache
came from CadiZ. where she landed
part of her passengers. She was on
her way to Muros when on account of
the fog she headed for Coruuna. Sud.
denly she ran upon a rock, but the
captain, who knew the coast well. got
his vessel off. Almost Immediately she
ran upon another rock, which was un-
charted.
h steamer, according to 9 survivor
of the crew, sank within a few min
utes. The heavy sea, which was run

life boats. Boats from the neighboring
fishing villages went to the rescue, but
were able to do but little for a time
owing to the weather conditions.
They succeeded eventually in picking

The body of William Patterson, who
was drowned Tuesday evening white
boat riding with Lottie M. Flagg, of
Galesburg, ILL.,, was found Friday.
Later the body of Miss Flagg was
found.
The condition Of the bodies, which
were discovered by fishermen, bears
mute and awful evidence that the
mans brutal passion caused the trag-
edy. Patterson left Virginia Beach
In his shirt sleeves, and when found
his vest was still upon the body, with
his watch and the contents Of the
pockets untouched. His lower gar
ments had been removed. 1t was with
scanty sympathy that his body was
dragged into shallow water close in
shore and Deputy Coroner Elliott sum-
moned. He visited the place at once
and ordered the body taken to an
undertaker's.
Miss Flagg was 2S years old and has
a mother living In G~alesburg.
No one at the beach appears to
