State Treasury Empty: Many Warrants
Due.

Frankfort, KY, April 3.-Witt
the State treasury empty, and owing
about $$35O,O0O in outstanding audi.
tors warrants, the appropriations
made by the last two legislatures
the finances of the Commonwealth
are considered in a Lad way by the
State officials here. In the regular
monthly statement issued by Treas
urer Farley to-day. $217,56904 is
shown as the balance in the treasury
on March 81. OF this amount $780,
S07.51 is credited to the sinking
fund; $32,544.19 to the school fund,
and $24,217.34 to the general ex-
penditures fund. Against the total is
charged S3O2,S ia outstanding
warrants, which the State auditor
drew during the month and repre-
sents the regular running expenses
of the State government. This leaves
a deficit OF $50, 26S.S3.
Editorial comment--lt is not known
whether the Auditors warrant drawn
in favor of Mr.. Y. l.. Moseley. Trus-
tee of the jury fund, for this county,
for $l55.77 for jury service during
the recent March term, is included
in the above deficit or not. But it
was refused payment when presented,
with the Endorsement, mo funds" As
has been the custom Mr.. Moseley adj
vanced the money to pay the jurors
and when the warrant came he de-
posted same to his credit and eX-
pected to be reimbursed as soon as
the warrant was paid in the usual
course of business.
Mr.. Moseley is wondering why this
warrant for money advanced the jul
rors was not paid wheE Circuit Clerks
fees chargeable to the State were
paid. Another thing seems very APP
parent that it did not take the Re-
publican State officials long to spend
the million and quarter dollars
found in the treasury when the DEM
ocrats stepped down and out.

CRITICISM.

The Breckenridge Democrat yer,
aptly says;
II we were to be called on
to choose the meanest person
on earth we would not look
among those people who are
looked upon by many as the
greatest sinners, but we would
90 at once to one OF the
many who are constantly pick
ing out the faults of others
and placing themselves on a
pedestal as an example worthy
of being modelled after. and
forthwith select one of that
number. And We would not
miss our object very far.
In many communities there Is often
found some one or more persons OF
either sex who assume to be the self
appointed mentors or critics Of other
folks conduct. Forgetting their own
they seek to hold the
faults of others up to public scorn.
however, these gossipers
are few In number in good communi-
ties, and even when recognized, their
criticism generally reverts upon them
selves.
I'VE bar the doors and close the shut
tiers to,
And think that we are safe from
prying eyes;
Then through crack we peep to
criticise
And are displeased by what our
neighbors do;
But 10, men smile and whisper as
they pass,
To think we do not know our
house is glass;"

There is an element of sentiment
and pathetic consideration in the at
titude OF the Indian chief, Crazy
Snake, who has lately occupied a
prominent place in the public prints.
He claims that the Government has
not kept faith in the contract made
with his tribe, and that this is the
cause of the revolt of him and his fol-
lowers. He may be right, as such
breaches of contract have occurred in
the nations history, but he is butting
his head against a stone wall. The
destiny of human events is fast elm
mating the red man and he will
soon be known only in history.

ReclaiminR Washed Land.

I had about one acre of washed
clay land on one side of good field.
1t was absolutely devoid Of vegeta.
tion, had been left out for a number
of years after wasting fertilizer upon
it, and was an eyesore. Early In the
spring l crossed 1t with burrows about
5 feet apart. In these burrows
dropped wild blackberry roots, one
about every 4 feet. dropped fork
full of stable manure next to each root,
partially covering 1t, and covered the
whole with one furrow made with the
turn plow. In the next furrow /
dropped small pine tops and partially
covered them with the plow. l went
over all the land in the same way.
The work required three days for two
men and team. The following spring
l plowed out the middles. This was
five years ago, and l have not touched
the land since. i have gathered two
good crops of hlackberries and the
land is now covered with heavy berry
bushes and a good wild grass sod,
with no wash to speak of.-G. M.

SiIO Building.


In all silos the greatest waste oc-
ours around the sides, particularly In
the corners, because the air has great
er access to these parts. The fodder
is not packed tightly in the corners.
the air fills the interstices and decay
results. With the cylindrical silo the
friction is equally distributed over the
entire inside wall surface, so that the
silage settles evenly.
The place a silo is to occupy may
determine the form to build. There
are several kinds. Chief among these
are the round the stave. the square
rectangular, and the octagonal form.
A square or rectangular silo can usu-
ally be constructed within a barn with
better economy of space than round
silo. For these reasons square silos
are most frequently employed within
the barn, and the circular type when
a separate building is constructed.

silage for Feeding.

The chief difficulty in growing silage
corn In some of the Northern States Is
in getting suitable variety, and farm
ers are strongly urged to take advan-
-tage of such new varieties of silage
corn as may be offered for trial by
the experimental stations of their re-
spective States or by the United States
Department of Agriculture, and also
to select their own seed in order to
fill 1t. In sections where potatoes fill
the place of corn In a ration, silage
can be made from Japanese millet or
other crops and succulent winter feed
be thus provided. Clover and Italian
rye grasses are successfully used for
silage in the State of Washington
and the combination is worthy of trial
in northern Maine.

MottIed Butter.

Streaky or mottled butter may be
caused by the salt, or it may be due
to the working of the butter. The
salt is so evenly diffused in the finest
kind of butter that, as is shown by a
microscope. every grain Is surrounded
by a film Of clear and transparent
brine which points out the necessity
of avoiding the overworking of the
butter before the salt is added. In
the first working every particle of
milk should be gotten rid of, but
enough clear water should be left to
dissolve every grain Of salt in twelve
hours before the next working. If
this is done there will be but little
danger of streakiness in the butter,
but to get the best results the salt
should be very finely ground.

Intensive Dairy Farming.


The question Is often asked how
many cows a certain number of acres
will support By the question Is
meant that the entire energy of the
farm is to be devoted to raising food
for the dairy COW. A farm in good
state of fertility can be easily arrang-
ed so that one could keep COW
to every two acres If the land Is all
good, rich, tillable land. And one
would be able to raise both the forage
or bulky part Of the ration, and the
grain ration, too. 1t could be done
in a few years time with the proper
handling of the herd on the farm.
Three crops upon the farm will do
it-frst, corn; second, clover hay, and,
third, peas and oats. OF course, the
clover sod would be plowed down for
corn and then the corn ground be put
into peas and oats the following sea-
son. With these three foods one can
make balanced ration for the dairy
COW without purchasing any other out
side food, either concentrated or
bulky.
The statement has often been made
that an acre Of good land will sup
port a COW the year around. One
dairyman made the remark that he
could keep two cows on an acre, but
practically the man who keeps one
cow on two acres is doing very good
business If he gets fair prices for the
product, 1t is fact that the demand
for milk, butter and. cheese is increas-
ing faster than cows and the prices
are continually advancing. There is
no better business than dairying-

Rect Culture Wanes.

Comment has arisen over the appar
ent decadence of sugar-beet culture In
the farming section about Toledo,
Ohio. Where few years ago dozen
fields could be seen without travelling
more than a mile or two, now scarcely
one exists, A farmer reported he saw
but one field between Toledo and Mon
roe, though only a few years ago this
section produced heavily. Several fac
tors have arisen to work against beet
raising. In the first place. labor and
care considered, the present high
priced cereals are considerably more
profitable; again, farmers have begun
to learn that beets tax soil vitality
about as heavily as any crop, and,
unless fertilizing elements are constant
ly applied the land invariably suffers.

Bitter Butter.


Bitter cream and butter may and
generally does result after the COW has
been feeding literally on moldy
hay, decaying roots and certain weeds.
Another fruitful source of bitter cream
and butter Is the holding of the cream
at too low temperature, when objec-
tionable bacteria get in their work,
causing a pungent or bitter flavor.
For best results cream should be cool
ed and held at temperature Of about
so degrees for six or seven hours i'm
mediately after separation, after which
it should be ripened in temperature
of from so to 70 degrees. When it
begins to turn sour 1t Is ready to be
churned, and then the sooner 1t Is
churned the better. In small dairies,
where several separator skimmings
are required to make up the quantity
of cream for churning, the cream
should never be run from the separa-
tor into the vessel holding previous
skimmings. One needs cream can of
sufficient size to hold all that Is re-
quired to make up the churning, and
such vessels should be kept in place
where the temperature Is about 60
degrees. Each skimming should be
cooled before being emptied into this
storage can. When fresh cream Is
emptied 1t should be at once thoroug-
ly incorporated with the contents of
the can by stirring with spoon or
ladle. Churning should not take place
within five or six hours after the last
cream has thus been added.-Field and
