Row Judge Ashbei Green Succeeded
IN Stampeding a Democratic Con-
vent'on In New Jersey and
Nominating little Mac"

I must tell you," said the late
Judge Ashbel Green to me ..of the
way in which I once stampeded con-
ventlon. And when l tell you that
tnls was done in, New Jersey, and that
the stampede, as politicians call it,
mad never been successfully ATTEMPT
cd IN that state before, you may be-
neVe with me that the incident was
OF unusual political interest"
Ashbel Green was one of the great
leading intellects of New Jersey. His
father was president of Princeton
iwhen the War of 1912 was being
Iought, and he was near of kin to
commodore Stockton and United
states Senator John P. Stockton. He
was esteemed in his day one of the
profoundest legal minds both of New
Jersey and New York, and in the lat
ter years of his life was one of the
leading counsel for the Vanderbilt
railroad interest. He died in 1905.
We Democrats of New Jersey, In
the year 1877, were somewhat at sea-
continued Judge Green. There had
been some talk about nominating me
for governor, and l was told that If
! were willing to be a candidate, my
friends could compass my nomination.
But I had no ambition to serve as
governor of New Jersey; in fact, my
professional duties would have made
1t impracticable for me at that time
to enter public life.
"A little later learned that a Ger.
tain faction of the party had made
up Its mind to nominate as candidate
for governor man who, in my opin.
ion, was not mentally fitted for the
post of governor and on whom
feared that personal attacks, whether
well grounded or not, might be made
to the party's serious embarrassment
at the polls. The organization con
trolled the convention; what were
those of us who did not like its can
didate to do? After thinking the
matter over. it seemed to me that the
only way to beat the organization was
to stampede the convention. But
what name would be potent enough
TO take the convention off its feet?
AS I was seriously thinking the
matter over l happened to remember
that General George B. Mcclellan was

FEEDING COWS FOR BUTTER
Grain Should Be Fed In Connection
With Cottonseed and linseed Meal
Vermont Ration.

Those who make winter butter
should be careful in feeding cotton
seed meal, as it has a tendency to
make the butter hard and crumbly. 1t
also gives the butter a cheesy appear
ance, and also rather disagreeable
flavor, says the Baltimore American.
1t is better to feed part cottonseed
with wheat, bran. oatmeal and corn
chops.
The butter makers of Vermont use
the following ration: Mixed hay, to
10 pounds, and corn silage, 80 to IS
pounds. Eight pounds of the follow
ing grain mixture is added to the cut
hay: Wheat bran, 3 parts; corn
chops, parts; cottonseed meal, ia
parts; linseed meal. IA parts, and all
the straw the cow wants. This ration
is better for the health of the COW.
The milk yield will be normal and
the milk of high quality. Dried sugar
beet pulp may be fed in place Of
silage. 1t should be soaked a few
hours before feeding. Commence with
small quantity-the grain may be
mixed with the pulp-give the mixed
| hay first; after the hay has been given
give the pulp mixed with the grain,
then card and brush down, and turn
the cows out for exercise and water
for an hour or so. Bed with clean
| wheat straw. The COWS will eat por.
ton Of the straw; what is left Is used
for bedding.
The most economical method of buy.
ing grain is for the dairymen of the
| neighborhood to combine and buy di.
rect from the sugar beet factories and
| flour mills by the carload. Buy early
in the fall. BY buying for cost and In
large quantities one dollar and posi-.
bly, one and a half dollars may be
saved on each ton of feed. When the
feed is bought in small quantities the
dealer makes large profit at the ex
pense of the dairyman.

How Three Oid-Time Boston Mer'

spring of 1877, when l was staying at
the United States hotel, in Boston. for
q few days.
After breakfast, en- the second
morning of my arrival at the hotel
went to the mems parlor to look over
the morning papers. Presently there
entered two elderly men. who seemed
to be warm friends. In appearance
they were typical of the dignified. cul-
tivated, quiet-mannered merchant OF
Boston. Anyone seeing them would
have said at once that they were own
ers of vessels plying between Boston
and China or the West Indies. One OF
them jingled some coins in pocket;
the other tossed ring of small TOOLS
hack and forth in his hands. They
took their stand near where | was

"Rut I hear that DR.. Hubbard has

ing the stock, and he is pretty clear
headed business man." spoke up the
other.
BEFORE the first speaker could reply

manner also indicated the successful
merchant engaged in the China trade

less than a minute after the first cry

of the delegates were shouting TOT

TO PREVENT RABIES
Disease May Be Warded Off by
Pasteurization.
Season of Year Makes Very Little Diff
ference as 1t Is Just as Prevalent
In Winter as in Summer-How
Treated.
(By l.. W. GOSS.)

(By L. W. GOSS.)
Rabies is one of the oldest diseases
known. In the fourth century B. c.
1t was described by Aristotle, who
wrote: Dogs suffer from a madness
which puts them in a state of fury,
and all the animals that they bite
when in this condition become also
attacked by rabies"
The season Of the year makes very
little difference, as the disease is just
as prevalent in winter as it Is in sum-
mer. This seems contrary to the
ideas of many persons, who think
that July and August, dog days.
the only time that dogs are subject
to rabies The explanation is that
more people are moving about during
the summer months and become
subject to attack.
Rabies is caused in nearly all cases
by the bite Of rabid animal. 1t is
possible to contract the disease from

Winter Dairying.

Winter dairying has many advan-
tages. In the first place, all dairy
products sell at a high price in the
winter. If cows come fresh in the
fall they produce a good flow of milk
during the winter months, and in the
spring, when they are turned on
grass, this acts as a second freshen-
ing and thus lengthens the period of
milk production. Another distinct ad-
vantage is that during the winter sea-
son the farmer is not so busy with
other work, consequently he can give
more time to the care of the cows,
the milk and the cream than is pos.
sible during the busy season.
