Dairy Doings.

Bran has been found an excellent
feed to combine with corn fodder and
timothy or wild hay as a ration for
the milk COW.
Selling milk is selling fertility. It's
all right If it is brought back in feeds
and fertilizers. but soil poverty must
follow otherwise.
Raise youI calves in open sheds and
get constitutional vigOr, with ability
TO turn large quantities of feed into
profitable amount of product.
When Il man begins to keep records
of his herd he is a good long step to-
ward success
If the COWS are stabbed at night
much fertilizer is saved that would
otherwise be dropped in the pasture
and disintegrated 10y wind, rain and
sun, lose its strength and be lost.
In cold weather run about quart
of hot water through the cream sepa-
rator to warm up the bowl and other
working parts; otherwise the first in
flow of milk will lose part OF the
cream before everything is warm
enough to run smoothly.

Captain Storey and his men were
fighting the flames in the senate judi

FIREMEN OVERCOME.
Fifteen firemen who were battling at
the State library were temporarily over
come by smoke shortly after o'clock,
and they were forced to abandon their
operations at this point.
DR.. Won Lehr, the State architect,
said that he hoped the most precious
items of the States great manuscript
collection of more that 10000 pieces
had been saved. About year ago the
State charter granted by Charles II to
the Duke of York, the Dongan charter,
the Washington relics, the Major Andre
papers, and Lincoln's emancipation pro-
clamation were placed in great safe
in the Office of the superintendent of
public instruction, on the first floor of
the building.

records, except such as are in the GUS
tody of the secretary of State, are de-
stroyed, and their loss is, of course,
irreparable The Van Rensselaer, col
lection of historical manuscripts, some
$4,000 pieces in number, only recently
acquired, are lost.
The loss upon that portion of the cap
itol building destroyed is undoubtedly
not less than $4,000, OOO Nothing has
been saved of the furnishings, which
were mostly costly, nor of the contents
of the library.
There is no insurance whatever, as it
has not been the policy of the State to
insure its buildings, save in the case of
certain hospitals and asylum plants

Erection of Building Attended by
Scandal from Start to Finish.

Albany, N. Y, March 29.-More
money was wasted in the con-
struction of the capitol at Albany than
on any other public structure in
America. 1t is estimated, when its
construction was authorized by the
Legislature in 1868, that the building
as planned would cost about $4,000
600. According to the State records
for the fiscal year ended Sep
TENDER 80 last, the total amount ex-
pended had been more than $25, 600, 600
and the original plans had not been
carried out.
The city of Albany is built upon sew
eral hills, and on the highest of these
stands the building which was ruined
today. 1t is gigantic structure of
white granite, with red-capped towers,
and crowns the pyramid of all of the
other city buildings, looming gigantic
ally no matter which way the people
enter the city.
SCANDAL RIFE.
Scandal has attended the progress of
construction since the first shovelful of
earth was turned over. Away back in
1879, when only S9,500,00 had been
spent, charges were made that much
of this sum had been misapplied. A
legislative investigation was held, but
the only thing uncovered was that the
work had been done on the day-labor
plan, and that many men had been car
ried on the payroll who had never seen
the structure.
The ruined building is 300 feet north
and south by 400 feet east and west,
and with its porticos covers almost three
acres. The walls are 100 feet high
from the water table. Its cost of near
ly $27, 900, 600 has been sharply con-
trasted with the capitol at Washington,
which covers more than five and a half
acres, and on which only $ll, 1855, 487
was expended.
BEGINNING OF WORK.
The first excavation for the building
was started on December 9, 1867 and
first stone in the foundation was laid
July Z, 1862 The cornerstone was laid
by the grand lodge of Masons on June
"a, 1871, and the capitol was first occu-
pied by the Legislature January z, 1879.
Most of the State departments were
housed in the structure. The Offices
were among the most magnificent in the
