BIG LAND FRAUDS

Secretary Garfield Finds
That $IIo.ooo,ooo Worth OF
Public Domain is illegally
Held by Individuals.

WAsHINGTON, Jan. IS. Start
ling information of astounding
frauds upon the public lands has
come into the possession of Secre-
tary Garfield throuhg special agents.
The allegation is made that approx
imately Sl1O,OOO,OOO worth of
lands in the states principally west
of the Mississippi river have been
acquired fraudulently within the
last two years by corporations and
individuals.
With a view to recovering these
lands, Secretary Garfield sent let
tiers today to Chairman Hale and
Chairman Tawney, of the senate
and house appropriation commit
tees, respectively, asking for an
additional appropriation of $780,
900 which, if granted, with that
already asked for, will give the de-
partment 81 100000 for that pur-
pose.
Secretary Garfield also submits
a statement of II. II. Schwartz.

over 80, 900 distinct cases of alleged
land frauds demanding further in
vestigation. Of such cases await

Milk With Dry Hands,

1t Is bad habit with many mixers

deliberately dipping them into the

Ing, not by sliding. Only in "stripping'
TO start the flow to get the last drops
of milk it may he preferable to slide
the fingers down the teats These last
drops, the strippings, contain the lar
gest per cent of fat, being almost as
rich as cream. and not only for that
reason, but also to keep up rich flow
of milk from the COW, it is important
not to neglect the strippings. 1t Is
well known that by leaving more and
more of the milk in the bag at each
consecutive milking the COW Is soon
dried up

MODERN SILO
CONSTRUCTION.

Tho farmers Of the corn belt are COM
,ne to realize more and more the value
~ silage as n cheap, succulent feed.
Far dairy cows it is almost indispensa-
~. ~ the best results are to be oh,
ta,ned. Experiments ut various sta
.,ons show that 1t may also be used
successfully for fattening steers, sheep
aud even hogs. To aid farmers in Sc
iecting the type of silo best adapted to
theIr conditions the Iowa experiment
.tet,on has made thorough invcstiga-
t,on Of sllo construction and issued n
hn,letiu on the subject, from which the
following is taken:
Of the silos reported by their own
A.. or visited. 1875 were located outside
~ the barn and 26 inside. Those To-
Gated inside of n building were largely
~ type not well adapted to be placed
ortsitle. These reports Indicate that
/. location of the silo outside of all
hrildings meets with greater favor
emon9 those using silos. There are
.ood reasons for this. First, the silo,
Nth the exception of few types, is
n such a construction that 1t does
not need the protection of n covered
hnilding. Second, 1t Is not economical
"a Mace a slo In n building where it
will occupy space which may be put
10 other use. Third, silo located in
aide Of building is often unhandy to
All. The forage cannot be delivered to
Tho cutter conveniently. Fourth. by
heating a silo outside of the building
and only connecting it thereto with
A passage provided with doors, the OBJ
iectionable odor OF the silage may be
kept out Of the building. BY arrang-
ing the silo so as to be connected to
the feeding room with feed way, 1t
should be as convenient for feeding as
when located in the building itself. \
very common arrangement Is to so To-
cate the silo that the passage way
from silo to barn Is continuation of
the feed way in the barn. In general.
II seems that there are few advantages
In building a slo inside of building
and many in building it outside
Square silos are practically a thing
Of the past They were developed be-
fore the round silo, but generally gave
trouble by the bullying of the straight
sides and the spelling of the silage In
the corners. In addition to this the
material Of construction Is not so eco
nomically used or distributed to resist

not make gilt edged butter in the
kitchen. There are too many odors
from cooking and sometimes from to-
bacco smoke. Cream is very touchy
when 1t comes to odors. You can insult
cream with Il bad smell quicker than
any other food product, and when 1t IS
once contaminated no cleansing proc
ess can possibly eliminate the trouble.
The dairy may open off from the
kitchen. but you must keep the door
closed. You will need some means OF
