HOCUE 10 HANG FRIDAY
At Perryville for Killing of Grov-
 CT Meisner Last Friday.
No Date Set for Trial of w. Y Ellis Other News Notes From the
 Capital City.

Little Rock, Oct. 11.--It seems that Walter Hogue will be hanged at Per ryville next Friday. The reprieve granted him by the governor expires on that date, and as yet no effort has been made to perfect an appeal to the supreme court There is no probabil- ity that any further stay of execution will be asked. Hogue killed a com panion, Grover Meisner, in the fall of 1908, while they were out hunting. He will be hung at Perryville Friday, and will leave the old penitentiary here, where he has been confined since his conviction, next Thursday even
 ing.
 No date has been set for the trial of W. Y. Ellis, who is in jail here on an indictment charging him with mur- der in the first degree for the killing of Willis in the courthouse here some months ago. It is known that his at torneys are anxious for an early trial, and as October 25 seems to be the only open date on the circuit court calendar, that day will be the one set for the trial. Eminent counsel will represent Ellis, and the state will be represented by Roy D. Campbell.

Since the long discussion and final passage of the bill carrying $9S,O00 to wipe out the deficit that had been created in the penitentiary fund last April, the financial condition of the penitentiary is still in debt, and not counting the debt of $98,000, there has been shown deficit of $20,000 since April This will be overcome by the sale of the crop from the state farm, which it is estimated will net $40,000, and thus reduce the original debt some, as well as wipe out the deficit since April.

The Horse to Breed for Profit.

First, we will take the well bred PAGER.
When you breed to a pacing stallion you
are breeding for speed. Such stallion
should be a fast record horse and his
service fee would be 25 to $50. The
colt is foaled and is a PAGER. At the
proper age you commence to develop
his speed. This means lots of jog work
with boots and other appliances, all
costing money. He is now five years
old, you are ready to sell. You can't
run him out by his halter, give his
breeding and sell him. Your customer
wants to see him on the track and time
him and watch his gait. If he has ex-
treme speed you will sell, if not what
then? You would have to cut down the
price one third to what you would If he
was square gated trotter.
The farmers of Maine are now stock
ing up with draft horses. There is the
manure spreader and the potato digger

A good many who see the large, sleek,

This is an age of great advancement
and development. New records are be-
ing made and new marks OF progress
are set in many lines, and the produc-
ton of some of our best dairy cows is no
exception to the rule. Such marvellous
yearly records have recently been made
that it is worth while to call the atten-
ton of the general public to them and
point out their real significance.
The last great achievement is that of
the Jersey COW Jacoba Irene, belonging
to A. o. Auten, of Jersey County. Ill.
This COW produced in one year II, 253
pounds, or nearly nine tons of milk, and
LIP pounds of butter. This is an
official record, made by representative
of the dairy department of the Univer-
sey records; only one other COW in the
world has higher record for one year,
but taking her average production for
four years she stands absolutely without
an equal.
This is over four times the production
of the average cow for Illinois, and
seven times that of the poorest fourth in
Illinois. There are 250, 900 poor cows in
Illinois, so poor that it would take 209
of them to equal one such COW as Jacoba
Irene in actual profit. How much easier
to milk one such COW than 209 poor ones.
The first would be play; the latter
drudgery.
During this year she would have sup
piled eighty persons with the average
amount of milk consumed per capita,

sides. This was rich Jersey milk, con-
tanning ~ per cent butter fat, and
worth, for direct consumption, at least
5 Is cents quart, amounting to S6J3 oO
a year A dairyman would need Only
four such cows to supply milk for the
average sized milk route, make him
good living and have an excellent profit
besides. II one owned ten such cows
he could have an income OF $3.50 a
year. The II ,25S pounds of milk pro-
duced by Jacoba Irene during the year
contained II % per cent, or 1927 pounds
of total milk solids. This shows some
thing of the perfectly enormous amount
of work done by this efficient dairy COW
in one year. Compare this with the
work done By the average steer, weigh
Ing l,lUV pOuuuS dl Tue dSe VI l"o yeais'
When born he will weigh close TO one
hundred pounds. Thus in the two years
of growth, he has actually produced
1000 pounds of carcass, only one-tifth,
or 200 pounds, of which is edible dry
matter. This means that Jacoba Irene
produced as much edible solids in one
year as would twenty-five steers, thus
certainly establishing, by good margin,
the worlds record for COW of any
breed.-Cur. Tribune Farmer.

the shot with his revolver before the
warrior could sink back behind the

his death blindness with the last con-
vulsive obedience Of the muscles ere
the will fees. Then his legs crumpled
up beneath him, and he topped for

Jack and Dick had abandoned the
rifles and were now fighting the Indi-
ans off with their revolvers as they
closed in on them.
Hardie had halted the night before
ut Clearwater spring. Finding II but
mud and alkali, he had merely rested
his men and horses for few hours
and then pushed on for Apache spring,
where he hoped to strike water. The
troop rode through the early morning
hours, full of grit and keen to overtake
the Apaches, traces Of whose fight
were becoming more evident every
mile. All weariness had vanished.
Even the horses felt there was some
thing in the air and answered the bugle
call with fresh vigor and 60.
A scout first heard the firing at the
spring. He did not wait to investigate,
knowing he could do nothing alone.
The volleys, the difference in the re-
ports Of the rifles, proved to him that
a fight was on. He knew that the
Apaches were being held of. Gallop-
Ing back to the troop, he reported the
fight to its commander.
The bugles sounded. The horses
were forced into gallop. With clash
ing accouterments and jingling spurs
and bits they dashed across the mesa
to the head Of the trail. Here they met
Slim Hoover and his posse coming from
an opposite direction.
The firing in the canyon was more
intermittent now. Dick and Jack were

Milk of Better Quality.

On the recent tour of the Cornell In
stitute Train, Prof. w. A. Stocking
made some remarks on the way to get
clean milk that enforce useful moral:
The problem before the dairyman to-
day is how to make better quality Of
milk and get greater return for 1t.
The increased cost of feeds and labor
has materially increased the cost of pro-
duction. At the same time the public
is demanding cleaner, more wholesome
quality of milk. During the past few
years the price of milk has increased
materially, and we probably cannot hope
to have it go much higher under present
conditions. The only way, therefore,
for the farmer to get bigger returns is to
lessen the cost of production. This can
be done by keeping better cows and u.s.
ing more economical feeds.
The demand for cleaner milk is in &C
cord with other pure-food work. The
milk consumers have a right to demand
that their milk shall be produced and
handled in clean way. The general
impression in the minds of dairymen is
that clean milk means expensive build
| ings and equipment. This, however, is
not true. There are not many dairymen
who cannot produce clean milk without
much increase in the cost if they know
how to do it.
What the dairyman should have clear
ly in mind is the fact that dirt and dust
are the chief sources of contamination,
and that any condition which produces
dust in the stable or allows dirt to COL
lect where it can get into the milk is
sure to injure its quality. This means
that any operation which will stir up
dust should not be performed just be-
fore milking time. The COW should not
be brushed or fed dry feed or the stables
swept just before milking is done, be-
cause all these operations stir up dust
which will settle in the milk and thus
injure its sanitary and keeping qualities.
The three things that will give the
greatest improvement in the quality OF
milk and which can be done at very
little increase in cost, are:
|. The use of small-top milk pail.
This will keep out from one-half to nine
tenths of the dirt and bacteria which
would fall into an ordinary large-top
pail.
2. The use of damp cloth to wipe
the udder and flank of the COW just be-
fore milking. This operation takes but
few seconds and removes the loose
hairs aud particles of dust that would
otherwise fall into the milk. This oper-
alton will materially reduce the con-
tamination of the milk and decidedly
increase its keeping quality.
8. Milk should be cooled as soon as
possible after it is drawn to as low a
temperature as possible. This prevents
the growth of the bacteria which have
fallen into the milk, which would other
wise multiply rapidly and cause the
milk to spoil quickly.-Country Gentle

Experience on the plains taught
them that the fight would be a slow

divert attention for the time being to
cover their flight SOuthward. After
the one shot which struck Dick and
the volley directed at Jack not a rife
had been fired. Peering over the
bowlder, Jack could see nothing.
Dick had fallen near the spring. He
struggled back to consciousness to find
his left leg numb and useless. When
the ball struck him he felt only a
sharp pinch. His fainting was caused
by q shock to his weakened body, but
not from fear or pain. With the re-
turn to his senses came n horrible,
burning thirst and n horrible sinking
sensation in the pit of his stomach. He

Jack caught the sound of falling
