BEST TEMPERATURE FOR cow
Hoard's Dairyman Expresses Opinion
That About Fifty Degrees Fab
renheit IL Right.

In response to a query as to about
the right temperature for dairy barn
Hoard's Dairyman makes the follow
ing reply:
We are not prepared to say what is
considered the right temperature to
keep the barn for dairy cows. 1t is
our opinion that it is not well to have
the barn colder than so degrees
Fahrenheit. In very severe weather
the temperature in the Hoard's Dairy
man barns falls to so degrees Fahren-
heit. While the milk flow seems to be
about the same under these condi-
tions, yet the cattle seem to show
signs of not being as comfortable as
when the barn is at go degrees. 1t

CUT UP LONG CORN STALKS
Much Waste May Be Avoided and
Cows Will Eat Them Up Clean
Bit Of Grain Is Relished.

Don't try to make your cows eat
long corn stalks. They will surely
waste lot of good feed. Cut the Stalks
and they will eat them all up clean.
Let them lie in box or even in the
alleyway for day or two after they
have been cut and they will heat and
soften up good deal. If too dry Its
tie water poured over the pile will
help to moisten them up. A bit Of
grain sprinkled over each ration vii
make It's licking good.

Apt Quotation.

Shakespearian quotations are In
great favor with Mr.. Joseph H. Choate,
but he uses them only when they are
opposite. A hit which he scored In
the Cesnola trial is illustrative Of this.
Clarence Cook, the art critic, had
given testimony unfavorable to Gen.
eral Cesnola, whom Mr.. Choate was
defending. Something was developed
on the cross-examination that materi-
ally weakened the statements made
by the witness, whereupon Mr.. Choate
turned, his countenance expressive
of well-assumed indignation. and.
pointing his finger at Mr.. Cook, said,
dramatically:
False, fieeting, perjured Clarence!'

Justice of the Peace Geo. b.
Miller and Sherman Watson, pro-
prietor of a basket lunch counter at
the depot, look at this joke from
different points of view, Yesterday
Watson, according to his own con-
fession, took a sack containing
$39.2 worth of green furs, be-
longing to William Shouse OF
Meadville, out of an automobile
and secreted it in an out-building
behind the millinery store at 112
South Main street. In Justice
Miller's court this morning Watson
explained that he committed the
offense only as a joke but got to
drinking and forgot to tell his fur
buying friend about taking the
skins. The squire refused to ac-
cept the explanation and bound
the prisoner over, with $500 bond,
to the circuit court.

Electricity is essential to bright,

STATE WILL APPEAL

NEW YORK, July 16.-Harry h.
Thaw shook off the grip of the law
today, motored down Broadway to the
applause of admirers and whirled
away toward Philadelphia with his car
throwing dust on a procession of auto
mobiles filled with newspaper men
under orders to stay with him. ms
announced intention was to motor to
Philadelphia, about one hundred
miles. by roadway and there take a
train for Pittsburgh.
Outside Newark Thaw lost some Of
the cars which followed him. Appar-
emily he had headed back for New
York as a ruse to elude the newspaper
men. This created some speculation,
as he had previously said he wanted
to attend theatrical performance on
Broadway tonight and had abandoned
the idea rather reluctantly when he
saw the size OF the crowd awaiting his
departure from the courthouse.
For the first time since he fired the
shot that killed Stanford White at
the Madison Square roof garden more
than nine years ago, Thaw was free
today to go and come as he pleased.

presided at the jury proceedings which
ended Wednesday with a verdict that
Thaw was sane announced from the
bench shortly before noon that he had
adopted the jurys verdict The writ
committing Thaw to Matteawan seven
years ago thercupOn automatically
became imperative.
The states lawyers appealed from
Justice Hendricks decision and Thaw
was released in S35 600 bail pending
the result Of the appeal. Meantime
he may go wherever he pleases. Thaw
seemed to be delighted. lie appeared
to be excited somewhat by the demon
strat.on OF the crowd which hailed
him good naturedly and boisterously,

thought he had uncovered the foul
plot" is no longer with The World.
There may have been some founda-
ton for the story, but developments
yesterday did not indicate it. Humane
Agent Welch, whom the reporter said
had assisted in the investigation" de-
clared yesterday that he knew moth
ing about a "hayloft' case.
The reporters services were imme-
diatelv dispensed with.
Ice cream vendors who secure their
supplies from local ice cream fac
tories beseged The World office.
They claimed that the hayloft story
was iniuring their business, as every
one thought they were the offenders.
These men dispense perfectly pure ice
cream made in sanitary factories, and
as far as could be learned yesterday,
there are no vendors in the city at
present who are selling ice cream that
is made in a barn, a livery stable or
COW lot.
The city recently passed new
health ordinance. which gives the
pure food and milk inspector great
latitude in the inspection of factories
and vendors that handle ice cream,
and hereafter ice cream sold on the
streets or elsewhere must be pure and
handled in sanitary method, or the
city will be to blame.
"If ice cream is being made in
Tulsa under insanitary conditions"

turer yesterday. "it should be stopped
