Coroner MacMartin is holding an in

mobile driven by John Baxter and is
endeavoring to establish facts suffi-
cient to prove that it was either due to
an accident or the result of criminal
negligence. Witnesses by the score
have been subpoenaed and it was be-
cause of this that this duty was per-
formed at such late hour. Some of
the principal witnesses live in other
cities, but after a mornings work they
have all been served with papers and
are present this afternoon. The general
opinion heard on the streets is that Mr.

The Lost end.

Il WISH" said an experienced veteri-
nary, that 1 had all the cloth which
has been wasted in manufacturing
cuds to replace those lost" This is
one of the dregs of superstition which
still clings in some places. The cud
is returned to the mouth after enter
ing the first stomach, and it's loss is
generally an indication of indigestion.
This is most prevalent in winter,
when COWS are heavily grained. Should
it appear in summer when they are on
pasture, but receiving some grain, it
is we'll to remove the latter ration for
a few days. After day or two give

sumes her cud feed for time on

StOppage of Milk Flow.

A very common trouble in every
dairy is to find an animal with the
point of the teat closed, either due to
a bruise of teat itself or to infection
of the milk duct which causes a lit
tie scab to form, and unless this is
properly handled with care and clean
illness the infection is apt to cause a
loss of the entire quarter. Thoroughly
wash the part in an antiseptic solu-
ton; then dip a teat plug into heal
ing ointment and insert it, allowing
same to remain from one milking to
another. In this manner closure can
be overcome in a very simple and sat
lSfactory way. A milking tube should
not be used if it can possibly be avoid
ed. as there is much danger of infect
ing the entire quarter by its use

MILK and Milking.

Many people believe that milk is
ready-made and stored in the udder of
the COW simply awaiting the mixer.
This impression is corrected by the
statement of the well-known scientist,
John Burroughs, who says: Most
persons think that giving down or
holding up the milk by the COW is a
voluntary act. In fact, they fancy
that the udder is a vessel filled with
milk, and that the COW releases or
withholds it just as she chooses. But
the udder is a mandatory; it is
filled with blood from which the milk
is manufactured while you milk. This
process is controlled by the cows
nervous system; when she is excited
or in any way disturbed, as by a
stranger, or by taking away her calf,
or any other cause, the process is ar
rested and the milk will not flow. The
nervous energy goes elsewhere. The
whole process is as involuntary as is
digestion in man and is disturbed or
arrested in about the same way.-In-

LIVING FOR ONES SELF.
Bv Rev. Frank M. Goodc

By Rev. Frank M. Goodchllo.
For none of us liveth to himself,
and no man dieth to himself.-Ro-
mans 14:7.
Nobody is Independent. All human
lives are inseparably joined. Things
we said yesterday will be recalled with
pleasure or pain by somebody twenty
years from now. What we did last
week will make somebody better or
worse when our bodies have been turn
ed to dust.
Life is rather solemn business. No
body is so insignificant as to be with
out influence. Most of US would be
filed with horror if we could read
the record of our lives and see how
a word we spoke carelessly started
some one on the way to ruin. And it
would fill us with bliss that is like
heaven itself if we could see that there
are persons who date all the good there
is in their lives to some kindly deed
of ours done simply from impulse.
However much we may wish at
times that we could do as we please
without our deeds affecting the lives
of others, yet a moments thought will
make us glad that human lives are
thus bonded together There is dig
nifty in life when we feel that a hun
dred years from now men may be bet
ter for our having lived. And, on the
other hand, there is responsibility in
living, since after we are gone men
may be worse for our misdeeds. 1t
doubtless would be more pleasing If
our goodness might bless others with
out our badness cursing them. But
other, any more than you can have
light without shadow. If it is right
that men should be able to help one an
other, it must be right, because it is
a part of the same arrangement that
they should be able to hurt one an
other.
Sometimes we Intentionally influence
people, as when we argue with a man
to bring him to our views, but perhaps
the mightiest influence is exerted un-
air for miles around it, or as the
honeysuckle makes the air about it
heavy with fragrance, so men radiate
helpful or hurtful influences Our
character, whatever it may be, is conta.
gious.
1t was said by man who was dy-
ing: ooh, that my influence might be
gathered up and buried with me-" That
cannot be, however much we wish it.
Our influence goes on blessing or blast
ing people forever. Of another man
it was said: His presence always
made men better" What fine thing
that is-to have such a character that
when you meet people you make them

The Farm Cream Separator.


Butter making in the home dairy
and creamery has been almost revo-
lutionized by the introduction Of the
farm separator, which separates
cream from milk by centrifugal
process. The shallow pan or crock
system and the deep-setting system
have been largely eliminated, and
with their exit a considerable part Of
the drudgery of the household disap-
peared. The farmer Is now no longer
required to make the daily trip to the
creamery; he can retain the skim milk
to feed his calves and pigs and de-
liver the cream, sweet, every other
day, when properly cared for, and
this substitution of cream delivery for
milk delivery by creamery patrons
saves them labor and millions of dol
lars yearly in expense.-Report Secre-
tary United States Department of

Nigor in the Flock.

The period of usefulness of good
sheep varies much with the breed as
we'll as with individuals of the same
breed. Some become improbable at
three or four years of age, others at
ten or twelve or even older. Whenever
sheep begins to show signs of weak
ness, evidence of disease or lack of
thrift and vigor it should be removed
from the flock "All is lost that is
poured into a cracked dish" all Is
lost that is put into an unthrifty
sheep-worse than lost often, for a
diseased sheep may do great damage
to the flock and when one loses thrift
1t loses its natural power to resist dis
ease. Nature has marked such a one

should forestall nature by disposing of

DARKNESS OF PROVIDENCE.
Bv Rev. w. H. Baker

Text-"Jesus answered and said
not, but thou shalt know hereafter"
John 1877.
The darkness rests upon Providence
because of its compleXity. Even if
Gods dealings with US had reference
but to ourselves, they would be hard
enough to understand What man
can tell the uses to which God means
to put him, the glory to which He
means to exalt him, even in this
world; how much less than in the
earthly life, how they stretch beyond
the chasm of death and are woven
into a new web above the stars! But
the problem is rendered vastly more
complex for us by the interdepend-
ence of all our lives. Each thread is
necessary to the integrity Of the fab
ric and has it's relation to all
other threads. 1t is in life as In the

the same line may represent the side

The great law of faith renders mys-
terry indispensable. Faith is the law
of this probationary dispensation, just
as knowledge is the law of the dis
pensation of reward. If a man says
that the doctrine of Gods word is in
comprehensive, the answer Is two
fold. God Is infinite, and He cannot
be perfectly comprehended or appre-
hended by finite minds. His truths,
like the mountains, lift their gray
heads and hide themselves in the
clouds of heaven; and though we pass
around the base, and partly take their
measure, we must always enter the
world in which these mysteries are
lost to sight, before we can take Their

be returned, that this intellect of ours

Keenan's Charge.
, MAY 2. 1863.

MAY 2, 1853
BY the shrouded CLEAN of the western
skies,
Brave keenan, looked in Pleasanton's
eyes
For an instant-clear and cool, and still
Then with a smile he said: II WILL"
Cavalry, charged" Not a man of them
shrank.
Their sharp, full cheer, from rank on
rank
Rose like a greeting hail to death.
Then forward they sprang, and spurred,
and clashed;
Shouted the officers, crimson shed;
Rode we'll the men, each brave as his
fellow,
In their faded coats of blue and yellow;
And above in the air, with an instinct
true,
Like bird Of war their pennon flew.
7
With clank of scabbards and thunder Of
steeGs,
And blades that shine like sunlit reeds,
And strong brown faces bravely pale
For fear their proud attempt shall fall
Three hundred Pennsylvanians close
On twice ten thousand gallant foes.
Line after line the troopers came
TO the edge of the wood that was ring'd
with fame,
Rode in and sabered and shot-and fell;
Nor came one back his wounds to tell.
And full in the midst rose keenan,, tall
In the gloom, like a martyr awaiting his
fall;
While the circle-stroke Of his saber,
swung
Round his head, like a halo there,
luminous hung.
Line after line; ay, whole platoons,
Struck dead in their saddles, Of brave
dragons
By the maddened horses were onward
borne
And in the vortex flung, trampled and
torn;
AS keenan, fought with his men, side by
side.
So they rode till there were no more to
ride!
But over them, lying there, shattered and
mute,
What deep echo rolls?-'Tis death sa-
lutte
From the cannon in place; for heroes,
you braved
Your fate not in vain; the army was
saved
Over them now-year following year
Over their graves the pine-cones fall,
And the whip-poor-will chants his spec
tre-call;
But they stir not again; they raise no
cheer;
They have ceased. But their glory shall
never cease
Nor their light be quenched in the light
of peace,
The rush of the charge is resounding
still
That saved the army at Charlottesville.
--Lathrop.
