A Day at the Marston Farm.

Z. o. Place of Owosso, Frank
Thompson of Corunna, and E. o..
Dewey attended the annual farm
meeting of the Michigan Jersey
Cattle Club held Tuesday at. the
farm of T. F. Marston, Bay City.
There were present nearly seventy
five ladies and gentlemen from all
parts of the state, many of them not
members of the Club, but present by
invitation of the host. The greeting
of Mr.. and Mrs. Marston was most
cordial and everyone was made TO
feel as though their acquaintance
had been one of long duration. At
ter an hour spent very pleasantly IN
becoming acquainted with one an
other, sumptuous course dinner
was served and fully enjoyed
Following the dinner the guests
spent the afternoon in looking over
the one hundred. thirty head of Jer-
seys and a beautiful Lot they are.
Mr. Marston has been breeding Jer-
seys for number of years, succeed
ing his father, the late Judge Isaac
vi a
in 1875. His success as a breeder
and exhibitor is known to all who
have attended the state fairs in re-
cent years, as his cattle have made
about a clean sweep of the prizes.
At present siXty-five cows are being
milked, the product being sold in
Bay City at little better than sew
en- cents a quart, which is a low
figure when quality is considered,
average test of his cows for year
being Sc per cent butter fat; but
better than this is the fact that
cleanliness is the rule at the Mars
ton farm and the milk goes to the
customer in an ideally pure condi-
ton. No farm in Michigan and but
few in the entire country have as
many cows in the register of merit
as this one, the number now being
forty and others soon to enter. The
young stock on the farm, about thir-
ty each of heifers and bulls, attract
ed much attention and drew forth
favorable comment from all the
breeders. The sales from this herd
and it is a good place to go if you
want cow or foundation stock for
herd-number about fifty year.
Mr.. Marston recently purchased the
entire herd of prominent eastern
breeder, including animals which
cost into the thousands, and will
thus be enabled for few months
at least to supply the demand for
high class Jerseys. The farm con-
sists of three hundred fifty acres OF
land, located four miles from Bay
City on one of the stone roads of
the county, and is a splendid home
place. Those present will not soon
forget the day or the hospitality of
Mr.. and Mrs. Marston.

close Rev. Laughton presented a brass
hanging basket to Prof. DeYoe and
wife as token of their regard. Mr..
Laughton criticized the action of the
board of education in their failure tc
re. engage Mr.. DeYoe, making some
exceedingly pointed remarks on the
reasons supposed to exist for another's
being engaged in his place.

HOUSE WANTS TO

Much earnest discussion characteriz-
ed the proceedings in the House this
morning, House Bill 20, providing for
the redemption Of real estate sold un-
der foreclosure of mortgage or execu-
tion, perhaps occupying the most at
tention
While the bill introduced by Fur
tado, was designed with the idea of
accommodating the poor man, it ap-
pears that the effect, if it becomes
law, is likely to be otherwise, at least
according to such thinkers as Shingle
and Rice This was up for third
reading and was recommitted to the
judiciary committee for public hearing
of parties interested
The bill relating to license, by Cor
rea, requiring IS fee for fishing boats,
passed third reading by vote of p

vide for the enrolment of all men in

was afraid that the sellers of salmon

Representatives r. A. G. Long pu-
poses introducing A bill I'm the House
which will provide that all bachelors
over twenty-three years of age must
pay a special tax, tax on bachelors,
of two dollars per annum, the money
thus realized to go TO the support OF

Representative Long Is himself an

last year, which was Leap Year, rec
orded to his credit no less than six
proposals of marriage made from the
lips of as five fair women, one pro

So Long is absolutely unprejudiced

Those of the attorneys present with
the Governor, or most of them, were
inclined to the opinion that De Bolt
was the man to succeed Ballou If Bal
lou took the Federal judgeship, but it
appears that Governor Frear leans
more to Attorney Lewis. If Lewis is
recommended and appointed to sue
ceed Ballou on the Supreme bench
of the Territory there would be no
need of a new appointment in the
Circuit Court, but in the event of De
Bolt being placed on the Supreme
Bench, according to the report, Judge
Andrade or w. T. Rawlins would stand
good chances to get De Bolts posi-
ton.
Another part Of the programme is
to change circuit judge Mathewman

nolulu, having him take the lpace of

to give inventories. Castro wanted to
know who was going to be responsible
for the desks at which the legislators
sat- Rice wanted to know if Castro
wanted a guard appointed to take care
of them. 1t was the sense Of the
house that the desks might be cared
for by the Public Works, and this re-
lieves the Speaker and President Of

apparently being without pain.
