fly May Have Food.
Trenton, N. Jennie Joyce, Of
444 North Clinton avenue, committed
suicide, 1t is alleged, so that her family
might get the $500 insurance on her
life to keep them from starving.
The girl was only seventeen years
old, and the only one of a family of
three who had been working. The
funds of the household were low and
her earnings could not keep them
longer in food. She told her two sis
tiers that she had the insurance policy
on her life and believed she would die
that they might live. They secuted
the idea, but she drank a half pint
bottle Of carbolic acid and died In a
few minutes.
The girl had a brother in the navy,
and she mailed a letter to him. No

Messina, Sicily. - Foreign officers
who have explored the ruins of both
sides of the Strait give higher esti-
mates of the loss of life than Italian
reports. They believe that 80, 600
persons have either been killed or
trapped in the ruins of Messina and
$4,000 at Reggie, where the tidal
wave rose to double the height that
1t did at Messina.
Two days spent amid the ruins of
Messina and Reggie bring convincing
evidence that the appalling horror of
the situation in the Straits of Mes.
stna has In no sense been exagger-
ated.
Messina and Reggie have ceased
to exist. In the ruins of the former
city two-thirds of the inhabitants lie
buried, while at Reggie one-half of
the people lost their lives. Messina
counted 100000 and Reggie $4,000
souls. Both places are to-day vast
morgues of the dead, and one cannot
make his way through the stricken
area without being overwhelmed by
the scenes of death, destruction and
d~esoiation. Sickening stenches arise
from the countless decomposing bod
les, and the air for many miles out
to sea is polluted. Vutures are con
gregating to prey upon the dead. 1t
would be a blessing If fire should
reduce what is left of these two cit
les to ashes, particularly as no more
living r to be found in the wreck
age. Fire to-day would bring only
material losses.
The radius of ruin and death ex-
tends back with decreasing intensity
for forty miles on the mainland and
for thirty miles in Sicily.
The work of rescuing and trans
porting wounded and homeless Is
proceeding amid the greatest confu-
sion. The task of digging out and
burying the dead at both Messina and
Reggie has been abandoned. During
the first few days such bodies as
were recovered we're laid out in long

PROFITABLE
DAIRYING.

Some of the tests made in the dairy
departments of the agricultural col
leges have opened the eyes of owners
of cows and done an immense amount
of good These college tests not only
disclose the pauper COW; they discov-
er some astonishing profit producers.
The selection and feeding of these
great producers have usually been un-
der college instruction. Dairy students
are taught the importance of recognize
ing the dairy type. so that they may
tell by the looks of a heifer calf what
kind of dairy COW 1t will make; of
COW. what kind of producer she will
be; of bull, what kind of dairy prog
eny may be expected from him. The
result has been the building up Of
many very profitable dairy herds.
Writing ON this subject in Golfers
Weekly. Milton o. Nelson says: The
first and foundation advice given by
the college to the COW owner is: Know
your COW. Test her. Is she in good
health. so that she can give wholesome
milk? Does she give milk in paying
quantity? Does she give milk of pay
ing quality? Thanks to college inves-
tigation and discoveries, any one can
cheaply test his COW for tuberculosis
and also for the butter fat and cheese
content of her milk. while any good
scales will tell the amount of her yield.
With these tests any farmer may know
how his COW compares with the model
COW. BY measuring her feed and cal
culating it's farm value he can deter
mine whether she is profit maker or
pens, Ter
The average farmer is too slack to
make these Investigations, but the col
leges are making extensive tests of
average dairy herds and advertising
the results in order to wake the farm
ers up. The Illinois college. for exam
pie, made an entire years test of 554
cows in thirty-six herds and found that
the lowest one-fourth in the list (139
cows averaged to yield annually but
1873 pounds of butter fat each. The
highest fourth produced 301 pounds.
This product at % cents pound. the
average Elgin price for butter fat for
the past five years, showed the years
gross receipts for the low class to be
but $3O77 and for the high class $69.32,
The average annual cost of keeping
each of these cows was not less than

A New Sulphur Wash.

During the past season the depart
ment of agriculture has made an i'm
portant discovery that the self boiled
lime sulphur wash is not injurious to
peach foliage when properly made and
will not produce russeting and other
Injurious effects on apples. Further
more, it has been found to be about as
effective as fungicide as the stand
ard bordeaux mixture. Extensive ex-
periments have been carried on during
the year by the department on nearly
all of the common fruit diseases which
are preventable by spraying. and it
has been demonstrated that the above
mixture is very useful one.

A CHAMPION COLLEGE BRED JERSEY.
$50 At this rate the low grade paid
a profit of but II cents each for the
year. or total for the 139 cows OF
$1O7. The high class cows made
profit of $31.32 each. or for the 139 a
total of more than $4,000 for the year
There is many chance for slip
between the possession of good milk
cow and the securing of profit from
her production And here the colleges
have undertaken to guard the COW
owner Dirt is his greatest enemy. and
against this the colleges are making
their most stubborn fight Clean sta
bles, clean cows. clean milk recepta-
cles and clean men are essential to the
production of clean milk. Stalls in
which cows are compelled to keep
clean and yet are comfortable are in
use In college stables Feeding of
dusty fodder or raising dust in any
way at milking time is to be guarded
against. The cows are to be sponged
or wiped with damp cloth on tanks
and udder just before milking. The
mixer is to come to his work with
clean clothes and clean hands. The
pail should be covered. except a four
inch opening, and should be readily
cleanable
The secret of clean milk is, of course.
to keep dirt out of it. The Michigan
College Of Agriculture has found that
as many as 100000 germs may fall
into an open pail in five minutes Of
milking under ordinary stable condi-
tions. The Connecticut college finds
that the covered pail excludes 63 per
cent of the dirt. The Maryland col
lege finds that milk pals and other
receptacles can be practically sterilized
and cleaned with warm water and
washing powders. These facts put it
within the power of the small dairy
man and farmer to keep the milk clean
(and SO make dairying profitable, with
out the expense of live steam steriliz-
ing and the other costly laboratory
processes Of the certified milk" dai
ries. These guards against dirt have
been shown by these colleges to be
the prime essentials in the making of
high grade butter and cheese
