five years, and it has been twenty years
since she last visited this part of the coun-
try. DR.. Willsey, her husband, who was

bill filed by Attorney E. L. Gies. that she

1879, and that there were four children.
two of whom are now living. The older.

self but the younger is an infant daueh-
ter. for whose support and her own she has
only her own earnings. She names numer-
GUS dates on which she alleges her hus

Mr.. W. A. Brooke has on his farm, near
this town, among his herd of fine Holstein
dairy cattle 4-year-old COW, Rose Fitch.
87,145, whose dairy qualities he recently
decided to test for days, with the result
that she produced $3.50 pounds Of milk.
per cent of fat $40, fat 12.035. This yield
is equal to 16 pounds of butter in days.
The test was made under the supervision
of the Maryland Experiment Station at the
Agricultural College. The managers at the
station speak of the result as very fine, con-
siderine the circumstances under which the
test was made, those of the age of the COW
and the inexperience of the owner in max
ing such test, it being his first. This COW
is a product of the Fields Bros herd of
Holsteins at their farm near Derwood, this
county, and she was purchased of them by
Mr.. Brooke not long ago.
