Feeding the Herd.

Now, word about feed. This is a
subject to which you will have to
give special and careful attention.
You must not only look to the needs
Of your cattle, but you must endeav-
or to get their rations as nearly as
possible from products of your own
farm. Economy is one of your
watchwords. But you must make 1t
study and 1t will take you several
years, says a writer in Holstein-
Frieslan Register. Look first to the
needs of your cows, and next to the
cost of the feed. Your heifer calves.
should be fed sweet skim-milk for
about six months, and you can mix
with It, a little corn meal and oil
meal, or these can be fed separately.
After six months, If on good pasture,
fall comes on they should not be al
lowed to run down and become poor
before winter feeding is begun. This
feed should consist of bran, shorts,
oil meal, ETC.. with fodder, hay and
straw for roughage. I would feed
no corn. A few weeks before your
heifer is due with her first calf you
should begin feeding her mixture
of food rich in protein. Do not over
feed her, but gradually increase the
feed until by the time she drops her
calf she will be getting about all she
wants to eat. You will find that she
has made a very large udder and
Will start off with a large flow of
milk. For few days after calving.
feed lightly, gradually increasing,
and YOU Will find her responding
we'll to your attention. There Is no
danger from milk fever with the first
calf; but from then on, and especi-
ally with the third and fourth calves,
you cannot feed so heavily before
calylng, neither will she require II;
for by this time the habit of milk
giving will have been well formed.

Farm Poultry.

In speaking to the farmers of
Greenfield, Mass, not long ago, Pro-
fessor w. p. Brooks, of the State
Agricultural College, considered
poultry keeping from the standpoint
of the farmer New England he be-
lieved to be one of the best sections
for poultry keeping, because of the
markets and the quality of the soil.
Less than one-fifth of the poultry
products used In Massachusetts are
now raised In that State,
A sheltered location on sandy soil
was recommended for the poultry
buildings. Glass fronts were to be
avoided, a better plan being to leave
the south side of the house entirely
open. Hens in such houses are more
hardy and will lay better than those
in coops with glass fronts. The
front should be protected by cur
tains in severe weather. Experience
at the college has proved corn to be
better egg producer than wheat
and is less expensive. Animal food
Is of great Importance, more so than
vegetable matter. Rye was found
to be a great egg producing food.

the shape of an outburst of anger or
annoyance, he was entirely mis-

There was no frown on Miss Greg

that they had prize fighter by the
name of Sullivan whom they were
willing to back for any amount. Blair
said they were in Bridgeport, Conn.,
and that Sullivan was with them. He
then unfolded a scheme by which
he and Holznagel We're to win S20S
900 from the "Cudahys." He
said that he knew prize fighter in
Boston, Collins by name, who could
defeat Sullivan. Holznagel agreed
that 1t was an easy way to get money
and the prize fight was arranged
Holznagel put up $4,000 as his por.
tion of the bet. Blair furnished the
other $4,000. The "Cudahys"
backed Sullivan for $4,000. The
fight was pulled off in the Bridgeport
Fair Grounds. OF course Collins
lost, but Blair declared it was on a
fluke, and begged Holznagel to back
him for another fight.
Got $4,000 More.
The "Cudahys" offered to bet three
to one on the second fight, and Holz-
nagel hurried to Scranton to secure
more money. He returned with $10,-
900, which he put up on Collins, and
again he lost. 1t was at this fight
that S230,000 was bet, Blair ostensi-
bly, making wagers amounting to
$4,000.
After the fight the "Cudahys'
turned the money over to Blair, their
secretary, telling him to deposit it
and send checks to the winner Blair
then made proposition to Holznagel
that they run away with the money.
He told Holznagel to go to Albany,
to the Ten Eyck, where he would
meet him and divide. Holznagel
went, but Blair failed to meet him,
and Holznagel came to New York
and consulted Lawyer John NJ. Cole
man. of No. 115 Broadway, who laid
the matter before District Attorney
Jerome. Holznagel was taken to the
Rogue's Gallery, where he identified
the pictures of Frederick Gondorff
and James Morgan, alias Deafy Nor
ris, as the two men who posed as the
Cudahys. The arrest of Gondorff
followed, and he was Identified by
Holznagel as one of the band
The arrest of Gondorff Immediate

of the band with the Walker swind-

flight, and was charged with having
been a party to the swindle, which
looted the New Britain Bank. Charles
Gondorff was held for trial and after

Raising Turkeys.

The farmers of the United States
generally could profltably increase
the number of turkeys they produce.
This class of poultry always sells
we'll, and anyone who can give tur-
keys a good range can make a profit
from them IL he handles them cor
rectly.
The excessive death rate during
The first few weeks of the poult's ex-
Istence Is the leading drawback to
turkey raising, but most of the
trouble which is so common at this
stage can be avoided by careful and
iudicious management.
Be sure that the young do not
get chilled while Matching or shortly
afterwards, and have their coops
made perfectly tight and free from
drafts and dampness. Locate them
in well drained spot where the sun
shines unobstructedly for the greater
part of the day, until the arrival of
sultry summer weather. This mat
ter of freedom from dampness is
very essential.
Keep the poults confined to the
coop or to a covered run on damp,
chilly mornings until all the dew
has disappeared from the grass and
weeds. Aside from such times, the
youngsters may be allowed entire
liberty after they are five or six
days old. The mother turkey should
be restricted, for time at least,
within limited range by means of a
string or some other convenient
method of this kind.
vermin are frequent source of
trouble and loss with poults and tur-
keys. This is a matter deserving of
more attention than it usually re-
ceives, as lice are generally numer-
GUS on turkey fowls. One of the
best things that can be done is to
give the setting hen a thorough dust
ing with a reliable brand of louise
powder two or three days before the
eggs commence to hatch; this not
only frees the hen from the vermin
but prevents the poults from con-
tracing the vermin from their moth

when to Plow Glover Sod.

A correspondent says that some
of his neighbors claim that the best
way to handle clover is to take off
a crop of hay and then plow under
the second growth. He asks whether
1t would not be more profitable to
take off both a hay and seed crop.
BY all means, take OFF both crops by
doing this we allow the clover roots
to make their fullest development.
We should get around two tons OF
hay per acre, besides the seed crop,
which ordinarily is worth muchSmore
than the green plants. 1t has been
found that clover roots contain a
larger percentage of nitrogenous
matter when left to mature seed,
than when the crop is removed ear
lier, or when the field is pastured
after the first cutting. Many lose
sight of the fact that 1t is the clover
roots that distribute the nitrogen
most evenly through the soil.--In-

stock OF this class and during the
past year many excellent animals
have been selected and kept for
raising. Much of course depends
upon this selection; the cows for both
milk and butter are greatly inn
proved by careful selection and feed
ing. The feeding is important. II
an animal is stinted and starved and
chilled during period of its growth,
1t will never fully regain what 1t has
lost, no matter what good treatment
IL subsequently receives. Successful
breeders recognize this fully and
provide for the winter, and are par

stock vigorous, healthy and growing
through all the trying portions of
the year. This midway treatment
before stock begins to produce. is
often as important a matter as selec-
tion.

years will be revealed, the police be-

Gondorff was arrested on the
charge of having swindled Frederick
Holznagel, a Scranton hotel proprie-
tor, out of $4,000 on a fake prize
fight, and 1t Is said the evidence will
fmplicate him in the robbing of WILL
lam F. Walker, who looted the New
Britain Savings Bank of more than
100000.
At the examination in the Tombs
Court every effort will be made to
have Gondorff held on the complaint
of Holznagel, in order to give the de-
tectives an opportunity to locate the
band of swindlers. Although using
Holznagel's charge to hold Gondorfr,
the detectives of the Central Office
are after much bigger game, in the
shape OF bonds, valued at 100000,
which were part of the loot stolen by
Walker from the New Britain bank
These bonds, consisting of $4,000
of Chicago and Eastern Illinois Rail-
road securities, $4,000 of Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul bonds. $15.-
900 Rochester and Pittsburg bonds
and number of other smaller par
cells, have never been disposed of,
and it is declared that they are still
in the possession of the members of
the swindling band to which Gondorff
is suspected of belonging.
Band Had Immense Resources.
The immense resources of this band
Is illustrated by the story of Holzna-
gel, who declares that, while they
were duping him, they made flash
of $3.50, 900. He says that this was
in genuine currency and not stage
money, as he personally handled the
cash. and declares that it would have
been impossible to deceive him.
According to Holznagel the swind-
lers pursued the same tactics with
him as they did with Walker. with
the exception that they used the prize
fight game, instead of the wire tap
ping scheme. One of the band, who
went by the name of Webber, stopped
at Holznagel's hotel in Scranton and
gained the boniface's confidence by
legitimate business proposition.
Webber represented himself as
bond salesman. Holznagel is inter-
ested in some coal lands in Tennes-
see which he is anxious to SELL On
learning this, Webber told Holznagel
tht he knew some millionaires who
were also interested in coal lands,
