Columbus Belcher has written a
letter to his attorney, f. II. Evans,
in which he denies having made a
confession concerning the murder Of
Curtis Carter, for which he is TO be
hung on September 18th. The story
Of the alleged confession was first
printed in the Mingo Republican, and
to prevent any injustice being done
to the condemned man his denial is
Aladly given the same publicity &C
corded to the other story.
In the alleged confession Belcher
was said to have implicated two
prominent residents Of the Leather
wood community, claiming they had
paid him 1925 in money to do the
deed. Captain c. G. Dawson, of the
penitentiary, also claims that Bel
cher made no confession and so in
formed representatives of the press
a few days ago.
Judge Evans Is still working on
the case He has prepared a bill of
exceptions which has been signed by
Judge Sampselle and this will be
presented to Judge Wilkinson as soon

DAIRY POINTERS.

Don't keep your cream too long.
There is danger Of its giving an old
ttste to the butter. Better churn Of
ten than to run risks.
Sanitary conditions are necessary,
hut that does not necessarily mean
costly buildings and elaborate APP
Iaratus. The main thing is to keep
everything clean.
Have the separator convenient and
take out the cream at once and cool
it down. The skim milk should be
fed to calves while still warm.
Wash butter only enough to get
the buttermilk out. Too much wash
ing Injuries the flavor of the butter.
If you have good facilities for the
work and can make a good quality
Ct butter, you need have no fear
about selling it. Good farm butter
is always in demand at a good price.
Some dairymen keep their COWS in
the stable most of the time. With
too much stabling, the cows may get
too little fresh air and run into
tuberculosis.
When You feed the COW, don't for
get to feed the mind Of the man be-
hind the COW. One counts as much
as the other.
Each COW must be studied individ-
ually. Weigh the feed and the milk
out and test for butter-fat till you
know just how she stands. Does she
pay?
/ One COW in a herd sometimes gives
more clear profit than five Others
all taken together. 1t pays to know
the poor ones and weed them out.
