Convict Is Recap tured.

Little Rock, Sept. 12.-Mr. N.
 Mcdonald, who escaped from the
 convict camp No. 98, near De-
 Valls Bluff, Sunday afternoon
 about 4 o'clock, was arrested last : night as he attempted to beat
 his way on a freight train near
 Brinkley and turned over to Pa
 trolman Duckworth of the local
 police force this morning at 2:15
 o'clock. Mcdonald was convict
 ed in Fort Smith on the charge
 of stealing a horse and sentenc-
 ed to serve three years in the
 penitentiary. He had served on-
 ly about three months, being
 committed to the penitentiary in
 June. Mcdonald, according to his own statement escaped from
 the camp Sunday afternoon run ming through a cornfield under the fire of the guards. He said that he slept Sunday night in the woods and a flock of geese came crashing through the un- derbrush and he thinking that they were members of a search ing party ran away and when he discovered his mistake he did not return but kept on until near Brinkley. He stayed in hiding until nearly dark then crawled out along the railroad track and the first train that came along.
 He stated that he boarded a coal car and there to his dismay saw the brakeman calmly smok- ing his pipe. Also as a conse- quence the brakeman was for mer acquaintance of his and had been on the lookout for him so collared him. Nc Donald said that the train was going so fast that there was no chance whatever to jump so just took it easy. When the train ar rived in this city the brakeman not knowing that there was a $50 reward out for Mcdonald turned him over to Patrolman Duckworth who promptly landed him in the local calaboose. Hamp Martin of the penitentiary came over this morning and took Me Donald back with him. The prisoner whose shirt was stained red in splotches from polkberry stain when arrested did not deny that he escaped but talked free ly of it.

JOINT ENCAMPMENT
Is NOT APPROVED

WASHINGTON. Jan 21.-The war de-
partment does not view with favor the
project for a joint encampment of the
national guards of Nebraska, Kansas.
Missouri and Oklahoma and possibly OF
Iowa, in September next at Lake Con-
trary, near ST. Joseph, Mo. 1t is be-
lieyed that no material benefit would be
derived, so far as field instruction is
concerned, by assembling in one camp
the militia of several states.
There would be no commander of the
whole force, II is argued, and conse-
quently II would be impracticable to
have systematic and co-ordinated in
struction.
Furthermore, the transportation
charges would be unnecessarily large and
the fun time of the troops could not
be spent in legitimate military work.
1t is not thought proper either that
such encampments should be held in
conjunction with any other enterprises.
Therefore, it Is announced that the
department cannot sanction or cooper
ate In any way in such encampments or
tournaments.

Individual ideas. He troubled little about
the condition Of the COW at milking time
so long as she gave plenty Of milk. A

stalls, and the open shed system have
been resorted to and are still being
used The method OF fastening dairy
cows which best meets the demands Of
the dairy and pure food law Is the stall.
But this must be sanitary TO be a
success.
There are many and varied styles OF
stalls, several of which are good. 1t is
best to select such a stall as will give
comfort TO both the cow and mixer.
The construction should be such as to
permit good light in the stall. II should
be built OF such material and In such
way as win leave only a minimum
space on which dust can. collect. Solid
wooden stall partitions are very objec-
tionable because they obstruct light and
collect a large amount of dust. There
are many different kinds of stanchions
and various other ways of tying cows
now in use. Many of these are com
parativeIy free from objections. The
new builder, however. should carefully
investigate some OF the best types of
swinging stanchions now on the market.
These are being installed with much
satisfaction in many Of the most mod
ern barns In behalf of the swinging

the COW considerable freedom, and yet
