KILLED BY PETS.
Great Danes Throw Girl on Knife
With Fatal Results.

New York.-To be tugged from a
kitchen table by one of her three pet
Great Danes, the frolics of which she
was warding off with the fit side of a
fourteench carving knife, and to
have the blade plunged into her
breast near the heart, resulting in
her death. was the extraordinary ac-
cident that befell 15-year-old Helen
Wynemann of 1876 Third avenue. She
died on the way to the Reception hos
pital in an ambulance.
Circumstantal evidence indicated
to the police that when the child
dropped the knife it struck the floor
on the hilt and was upright when
she fell upon the point, which sank
into her body to a depth of two inch
es. She was found by her mother a
moment after the accident.

The illustration with this article

are very deceiving. A COW may have
produced very heavily for part OF
the year. She may have produced a
large quantity of very poor milk or a
smaller quantity Of rich milk. These

~ AIRYING is supposedly carried
on for the purpose of securing
a profit. The fundamental ele-
ment acting as the incentive for any
business is the returns for the money
invested. Too many farmers do not
look on their occupation as a bust
ness. They consider 1t only as a
means to earn livelihood, and many
are too content with this state Of af-
fairs.
The dairy farmer should know ex-
actIy the returns in dollars and cents
Of each COW in his herd. He should
know the production of milk and fat
from each animal. II requires no
great expenditure and the equipment
is rot at all complex. The above IL
lstystion shows in detail everything
that is necessary. One must have
set of spring balances and a milk
sheet to record the milk produced at
the mornings and nights milking
throughout the month. A Babcock

~ HE alfalfa seeding season, which
begins in Michigan in early
spring and continues until early
summer, has been more extensive
than in any previous year. During
this time the agricultural college has
sent out 1893 nitro-inoculating cul-
lures to as many different farms
where fields of from one to twenty
acres have been started. Many fields
has no record. The experiment sta
ton has distributed during the year
more than $4,000 circulars and bulle-.
tins on alfalfa culture, and the exten.
sion department has organized sixty
six alfalfa clubs with a combined
membership of $50.
These alfalfa clubs are organized
wherever ten or more farmers agree
to grow one or more acres. The or
ganization of these clubs makes it
possible for a representative of the
college to hold an evening conference
with tn alfalfa growers and to go
with them to the farms the next day
to select suitable fields and give spe.
cial instructions tor planting. etc.
These clubs are widely distributed
throughout the state, being located in
forty-two counties, eleven of which
are in the upper peninsula.
The alfalfa fields in various parts
OF the state, which were started in
previous years are reported as doing
well and producing quantities OF fod.
der, which has no equal in point of
nutrative value and palatability.

and Allies Cannot Pass

Washington, Aug. IL. Senator Will
liam Alden Smith spoke the last word
against the wooden schedule, just before
the senate by vote of 80 to 20, accept
ed the conference report, and sent the
measure on its way to presidential veto.
Today the senior Michigan senator has
received many congratulations for hav.
ing 80 ably summarized the present at
tempt of the Democratic insurgent coal.
ition to drive tariff legislation through.
Senator Smith said
81 regard this bill as pregnant with
danger to the wool and wooden indus
try, and shall not vote for the confer
ence report, and 1 will not permit to go
unchallenged the statement made in
this chamber few moments ago, that
the panic of 1898 to 1897 was not direct
ly traceable to the legislation of the
Democratic party, which passed the
Wilson tariff bill. when, in the words
of Samuel Gompers, president of the
Federation of Labor, there were more
than 100000 men without work in
this country during the period of the
Wilson law, and that their employ
ments did not return until 1897. after
the enactment of the Dingley tariff law
under the leadership of the great Nc
Kinley, whose loyalty to protection was
so much derided by senator's on the 9th.
or side of the chamber.
ITO be more explicit, Mr.. Gompers
said, That terrible period for the wage
earners of this country, which began
in 1898 and which has left behind it
such record of horror, hunger and
misery, practically ended with the
dawn of the year 1897.
Grover Cleveland was elected presi.
Cent in 1892 and tariff revision nos.
trums filed the air, doubt and hesita-
ton halted enterprise, and industry
lsnguished. while the threats of free
traders were taking form, and on Aug.
81, 1894. the infamy was perpetuated
and it was so bad that President
Cleveland spurned it, although he did
not exercise the veto powerlas he should
have done and thus haye saved the
country from disaster and ruin; almost
every actor in that drama was repudi-
ated by the people. and it has taken our
friends upon the other side Is years to
recover from that drubbing and get up
courage enough to repeal their perform
ance.
They were wrong then and they are
wrong now, and shall resist their econ.

petitor, whom he has not met since the
shade had drawn over his gaunt figure

agreement as the production for the
month of July was about 100000
pounds less than June, and the output
during the latter month was consider
ably less than required under the
agreement. The July figures are:
Washoe smclter. 15,O5O,OOO pounds;
Great Fails smelter, 100000 pounds,
making a total of 21.O52,O00 pounds,

In June In the June production the
Washoe smelter was credited with
turning out 100000 pounds of cop
per and the Great Falls smelter 5,l50,-
600 pounds. So it will be seen that
the production OF the Washoe decrcas-
ed and the production of the Great
Falls smelter was increased. While
not strictly adhered to since the mer-

Anaconda properties goes To the Wa

figures given the production Of the

ter. The Tuolumne produced during
the past month about 100000 pounds
and the North Butte 100000 pounds,
so that. deducting the output of those
two mines. the actual production OF
the Anaconda company during July
was but 1S,552,OOO pounds. The Tuo-

Nipissing.

The Nipissing Mines Co. mined dur
ing July, ore of an estimated net value
of $4,000. ore shipments during the
month were of an estimated value of
S22O,92O.
No new veins were discovered dur
ing the month and new development
work was confined to old veins No. 70,
100 and 1923.
Work al vein 70 consisted in making
raise from the second level half way
between the inclined raise and the
western boundary line. The vein was
encountered by the raise about 80 feet
up, at the fault line, being small In
width. but showing considerable silver
on further raising the vein gradually
improved and at So feet il averaged
s inches i'm width and $500 ounces of
silver. Nearly all developments in the
past on this vein have been between
the first and second levels to the east
of the shaft An inclined raise To the
west of the shaft had previously OPP
ened up an almost continuous body of
ore between the two levels.
During the past month vein 100 was
picked up below the fault encountered
a couple of months ago by the drift
on the 125 foot level. Before encoun-
tering the fault the vein averaged 5000
oz. over a width of inches for dist
ance of 155 feet and at the present time
the vein assays 1000 to 5000 ounces over
a width of 3 inches.
on vein 1913 the drift has been in ore
fer 40 feet over which distance the vein
averages 3 inches in width and assays
about 1900 ounces.
