How Successful Farmers Operate This
Department of i'.u% Farm—A Few
Hints as to the Care of Live Stock
and Poultry.
ROF. JoRCph Hills,
director of the Ver-
mont Experiment
Station, says:
The experiment
on a large number
of cows lias shown
that, as a rule, a
cow gives the most
milk, but of the
poorest quality, in
the first two
her lactation; that
first six rionths of
the quality does
not materially change, but in the last
half of the year (if she calves every
year) the milk flow shrinks and Its
quality increases, the latter being 011
the average an increase of about on- -
quarter of the total fat. It has been
found that the cows calving in the
spring change the quality of their milk
in the latter part of their lactation
more decidedly than those that calve
in the fall, while farrow cows calving
either in spring or fall, hold to the
even quality of their milk moro than
those that calve each year.
The variations from day to day of tho
milk from the same cow or herd are
frequently extreme, and are often due
to causes which are not understood.
If, however, by means of the com-
posite sample the qualify of the yield

mer layer exists large white eggs that
command the highest market price;
they stand confinement well, and if al-
lowed liberty are the best of foragers.
What can be more beautiful than a
proud fowl of graceful figure, with
glossy metallic black plumage, vermil-
ion comb, face and wattles, pure white
earlobes and yellowish legs. They are
certainly one of the handsomest breeds
in existence. Regarding their history,
it commences with Reed Watson's im
portal'on in 1871, though as the Fori',
try World of December, 1S75, states,
there were accounts of black fowls
being brought over before. It has been
said that a flock of Black Leghorns
were kept on a farm near Newark, N.
J., between 1845 and 1850. They were
imported to ihis country from Italy,
the home of the Leghorns. In the show
room they are very attractive, the fact,
which was clearly demonstrated at the
last Nashville show, held last Decem-
ber, and were admired by both visitors
and breeders.

TROCUTED AT LAST.
It Wan the Quickest ami Mont Successful
Electrocution P\er Known In Sing SIiik,
Death Pusning in Less Than Forty Sec-
onds—A Noted Criminal Case Pnded.
Sino Sino, N. Y.. July 2. Dr. Rob-
rrt \\. Buchuuun, the wife murderer,
was electrocuted in the penitentiary
here at 11:23 yesterday morning. It
was the quickest and most successful
electrocution ever known at the prison,
the murderer being pronounced dead
in forty seconds.
Parly Feed of Hogs.
Tho low price of hogs has been a bit-
ter disappointment to many farmers.
Owing to the high price of corn and
the strong probability of loss In fatten-
ing they will decide to stork them
through to grass. This point once
reached, clover will carry their,
through in good shape until the last of
June, and later if desirable. It will I
be very important by that time to have |
a grain crop that will put them in a
good condition for early market. The
grain of last year's crop will by that
time be exhausted and the new crop
will not be fit. to use till September.
What can be done to furnish hog feed
from the new crop in July and August?
Much can be done if the farmer will.
We do not see any way of getting grain
from next year's crop before July 4, or
a cheap poultry house.

ROUGH ON It ATS IN THE FLOCK.
Malicious I'liikoning of a Family In Okla-
homa Three C liihlrcn Dead.
Stim.watk.u, Ok., July 2.—Three of
a, family of six named Tesch died yes-
terday from being poisoned, and the
other three are not expected to recover.
The three dead arc children, Mnud,
aged Madison, aged 7, and Susie,
aged 3. The poisoning was malicious,
rough on rats having been put in a
pack of flour. It is said that the head
of the family has a bitter land contest

of bov. 1,11 daj■ s week be t tfboated
it is usually found that there are less
wide variations than are found from
day to day.
For the past three years we have an-
alyzed the milk of each Individual cow
of the Vermont Experiment Station
herd twice a month, each sample being
mado up from eight cons« tutive milk-
ings. it has bet a found that tbt milk
given when the cow is four months
along in lactation is very nearly the
average quality of the milk given by
the cow in the course of tho year; that
if two analyses are made at this time,
fifteen days apftrt, upon composite
samples, the result will probably be
within a tenth of one per cent of the
actual average.
Tho extremes of fluctuations in the
quality of the milk of a cow are fro
quontly noted in 1 he record 111 tt
public and private. Some of these are
almost beyond belief, yet many are ap-
parently authentic.
The greatest change in quality of
milk from day to day that has come
under my personal observation, was
that made by a registered Ayrshire
owned by L. S. Drew, of Burlington,
being 2.68 per cent fat change in two
days. This is probably the most violent
change on retort! where the test was
controlled by chemical analysis.
Has the cow a fixed quality of milk
which she gives throughout life? Does
a heifer in her first lactation, indicate
truly her milking qualities, or may we
expect gain or loss iu years to come?
Our records indicate in eight compari-
sons of heifers of our own raising, less
than 20 per cent gain in per cent of fat
during the second milking period. Ap-
parently tho same general character of
the milk is maintained throughout life,
although tho quantity may be increased
or diminished. Minor variations in
quality may bo expected, but largo ones
seldom occur.

Operation of the Treasury Depart men*
U>r the Fiseal Year Just Cloned.
Washington, July 1.—The treasury
deficit for the fiscal year just closed \n
found by to-day's debt statement to be
approximately $43,2f 0,000. This added
to last year's deficit of neiuly $70,000,-
000 makes the excess of expenditures
over receipts since June 30, ls'.n, about
8113,250,000. The total receipts of the
government this fiscal year, exclusive
of postal revenues, amount to nearly
$'{13,000,0<)0, and the expenditures to
$356,250,000, of which pensions took
$141,301,523. Last year the aggregate
receipts, exclusive of postal revenues,
were $207,72'J,<HP, and the expendi-
tures $207,525,270. The receipts this
year, therefore, were $15,278,(K)0 great-
er than last and the expenditures about
$11.275,000 less. The postal service
deficit is about $11,000,000, which is
considerably iu excess of that of any
recent year.

Dun Reports an Increased Activity—The
• Crop Outlook,
Ni:w York, July 1.—R. G. Dun X-
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade, says:
lhisiness is better, although the crop
outlook affecting prospects beyond the
near future, is a little less distinct.
There is more ground for doubt about
winter wheat and cotton than a week
ago, and threshing receipts are com-
paratively low, though the prospects
for spring wheat are exceedingly good.
The price, a quarter of a cent lower
for the week, is, Innoiui mistake, t«h>
low, if the latest impressions as to in-
jury to w inter wheat are correct. Re-
ceipts of the week are relatively small,
but for the four weeks they have been
f>, 114 bushels, against 6,794,f>2H
bushels last year, while Atlantic ex-
ports, flour included, have been for
four weeks 4,91 bushels, against
7,444,0-;',! bushels last year.
Corn has declined a fraction and
pork is steady. Cotton has fallen'M6

It is strange to nm why tho above
named variety is not bred more exten-
sively In our section of tho country; it
certainly cannot bo on account of their
not being n profitable fowl, writes Fred
Kloos in Farm Fancier. All who have
brod the Mack Leghorns In conjunc-
tion with tho other varieties of Leg-
horns will, I think, agreo with me in
the statement that experience proves
that they nro the best of the Leghorn
family. They aro more hardy and lay
moro and larger egg; than any of the
other varieties, nnd ff a breeder koepa

It is true a great ninny object to this
breed on account of their color, claim-
ing when dressed for market they are
not so salable as those that havo skin
of a more yellow color. Tills is not
the case, however; the ye>o\v that is

Feed and Milk Flavors.
It seems to me Injudicious to cast
even seeming doubt on tho fact that tho
food docs not affect tho flavor of the
milk, and especially of tho butter, and
this all the more so because these ill
flavors mostly consist of oils that (It Is
my firm belief, as well ns the belief of
many others) nro intimately connected
with the product of tho cow's butter.
Forty years* experience tad omtil
study of this matter convince me that
the selection of the food is tho most
important element both of quantity
and quality Including the odor and
the flavor of the butter, nnd those who
stand in tho position of Instructors of
farmers and dairymen should be care-
ful not to mislead, even by implication,
in respect to questions of this kind,
and if any leaning any way is to bo
permitted, it should bo on tho side of

that onions or turnips will. And tho

When Jailer Carver entered the

lock the prisoners in their cells, Vic

Christian made a savage onslaught on
him with weapons they had managed
to secrete, lie was struck a terrilHc
blow over tho right eye and knocked

The prisoners dashed over his bod v

keeping at bay their pursuers with a
rapid discharge of revolvers, which, in
some mysterious manner, they had ob-

woman, and at the point of a pistol
compelled them to jump out. Almost
before they had time to obey his com-
mand Chief of Police Milt Jones
opened fire on the escaping prisoner,
who promptly returned the fire.
A perfect fusilade then took place
between the two Christians, Casey and
several officers, in which Casey and
Officer Jones were instantly killed,
one man shot through the leg and a
woman slightly wounded by a spent
bullet.
