a-e imprisoned and brought to trial. ‘inn a lt is eituated on the border of the Choctaw nation, and its jail is always filled with horse thieves, train robbers and murderers, brought there by Uncle Sam’s officers from theirhiding places in ‘the Indian Territory.

Haneman Maledon aitended an old soldiers’ reunion at Nevada, Mo. a few days ago, and while there fell into the clutches of areporter. He is a smal] man with «mall iron gray chin whiskers, He was Lorn in Bavaria in 1839, and went from Michigan to Fort Smith forty-one years ago. He hanged his first man there, sentenced by Judge Parker, in 1872. He h*s continued to act as hangman for the United States Court at Fort Smith ever since, hanging ninety eight men, sentenced vy the late Judge Parker, who, during his term of service, sentenced 216 men to desth and sent 10,000 to the pen- itentiary.

Specking of his gruesome calling, Mr. Ma'edon said : ** At one time I had twelve men oa the scaffold. Five of them were commuted and seven dropped at one move- mentof the trigger. Every neck was brokea. Throughout my entire service | never strangled a man or drew blood from him. When the neck is broken, the arms and shoulders drop down. When there is stran ulation they shrug up. Ninety per cent, of the men I have hanged com:nitt - ed their crimes because of whiskey, either direc! y or indirectly.

“ Gne of the worst menI ever hanged was Cherokee Bill. It was known that he killed twelve men and hed doubtless murdered others. He was in the Fort Smi:h Jail,from which no man has ever escaped. He tried to get away, and the guards fired sixty-two shots athim with- out mortally wounding him During the fight he shotand killed a very popular guard named Keaton.

“ Dr, Alexender was a britliant and high!v educated man, but had a bad temper. He witnessed several of my ex- ecutions and then he killed a man. He was sentenced and, knowing him so well Lasked if be would prefer some other man to hang him. £ Do it yourself,’ he said. ‘ You know how to break my neck short off. ”

“| remember when Cherokee Bill was brought out to the scaffold. He looked at the crowd and exclaimed, ‘H—! Look at the reople. Wonder what’s going to hap- pen ?” His neck was larger around than his head, and there were those who said the :ope would slip off; but it didn’t.

“ The last man hanged was Casirago, ap Italian. He was the handsomest man who ever went to the scaffold, and was sentenced for the murder of three girls and two men. One was his sweetheart, aud he was jealous. He shot them all within afew minutes. It was believed that he had no grounds for his jealousy. ”

A FARM DANCE,

In the Lady appears an account of a dance at a South African farm. This farm is 24 miles trom Grahamstown, which the writer describes as a pretty little En- glish country town, much scattered and surrounded by hills, “boasting a cathedral one street of shops, one or two smal! ho- tels,a public library, and a Kaffir location ” Of the dance she writes: “ A farm dance is always an amusing sight. The rooms are usnally long and low, with small, old-fashioned windows close to the ground,

that she is a sufferer.

There is a wonderful medicine for troub- les of this description, that has stood the test for thirty years, and has been used suc- cessfully by many thousands of women, It is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs concerned and makes them strong, healthy and vigorous, It allays inflamma- tion, heals ulceration and soothes pain. It tones and builds up the nerves. Itis the discovery of Dr. R. V. Pierce, an eminent and skillful specialist, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. ‘This is one of the greatest medical institu- tions in the whole world. During the thirty years that Dr. Pierce has been at its head he has gained the unbounded respect of his fellow citizens at Buffalo, and they showed it by making him their representa- tive in the National Congress, from which position he resigned to vive the remainder of his life to the practice of his chosen profession. He will cheerfully answer, free of charge, any letters written to him by suffering women. Address, as above.

“A few years ago,’’ writes Mrs. W. R. Bates, of Dilworth. Trumbull Co., Ohio, ‘I took Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, which has beer 2 great bene%t to me. I am in excellent health now. I hope tiat every woman, who is troubled with ‘wom-'s ills,’ will try the ‘ Prescripticn’ and be benefited as I have been.”

Dairy and Creamery.

When cream is allowed to get too sour before it ischurned, the butter from it will contain white, cheesy curd specks. When they are present after churning, draw off the buttermilk and pour into the churn enough weak brine to float the butter. ‘Chis must be done while the butter is in the granular state. You will find the cheesy curd specks, being heavier than the butter, will sink, while the butter will float.

It will not be many years, perhaps not later than 1900, when all large dairies will use milking machines,

Use only fine dairy salt and sprinkle it in when the butter is the size of grains of wheat. As to quantity of salt, anywhere from half an ounce to an ounce to the pound, according to the taste you cater for. More people prefer half an ounce than an ounce. Many again want three-quarters of an ounce of salt to the pound of butter. Consult your customers’ tastes in the locality in which the butter is to be consumed.

The author of the United States bul- letin on butter making and salting says he has found the butter will be more evenly salted if itis taken out of the churn, laid upon the worker and part of the water drained and pressed ont. Then he spreads upon the level butter surface upon the worker an ounce of salt tothe pound of batter, afterward working in the usual manner. He al- ways weighs both butter and salt to get the quantity exact.

Butter in the granular state is salted in the churn after the milk has been drawn off and the butter washed. The writer in the United States bulletin prefers first to take the butter out of the churn, spread it upon the worker and then salt it. We give both these wars, so that each may adopt the plan that seems to him best adapted to sult evenly.

COW FEED.

Economical to Feed Wheat, Bran and Other Substances Containing Protein. Tho mun who desires to feed home

grown proteins more largely and in the

form of clover, etc., often fails in getting full crops of it, owing to droughts, freeze outs and other causes. perforce must buy protein in some form to keep up the demand in the ration, and if he will take some observations he will see that where the manure was spread from the stables where the pro- tein was fed tha plant growth there was full evidenco that the cost of tho bran or other protein food was abont

balanced a second time. Last winter, I

think, the price of oilmeal was ‘‘trust-

ed’’ at too high a rate per tou. Bran at $9.50 in our local market was by far the best and cheapest purchase the

farmer could make, and out of it more |

milk and fertility for ths outlay could be made than from any other food offered.

There is no doubt that the silo offers a great and economical possibility in the cheaper feeding of the cows and well cared for and likewise for summer feeding, the one for winter and the other for summer, will never be very much cheapened so far as the roughage part of the feeding is concerned. When it comes to the pro- teins, they are about six times “‘shier’’ to raise than the carbos, and unless one can engage in wheat production ona large scale, grind out the flour and market it and save the ‘‘ship stuff’’ for the farm feeding it is a problem whether it is not the wiser of the two plans to buy a large part of the proteins, always having the two ends in view, that of getting the two values out of it, and it then becomes—nunless all experi- rents are at fault—a most profitable investment for the dairyman to make,

Reference has been made to summer pasture as the most economical feed in the summer, and, other things being in harmony, it would be in practice, but it is a demonstrated condition that pas- tures afford this economic ration only for a brief period, and resort has to be made to other crops to be fed in con- junction, and here again we are met with matters that demand studicas con- sideration. The clovers make a grand snbetitnte for the waving fpasturage, but their stay is brief, though clover may have other allies in the millets, seus, Onts andthe like, but after the flush of tho fecd is over, though iti supplemented with soiling crops, the fact remains that itis an econamica: plan to feed pratcin to the cows, nat culy to call the: home and save the “wear and tcar’’ on the dog, but pre- serve and maintzin the milk flow, with which no otber plan or system of feed ing will correspond.

It is. being demonstrated over and over that by the economical feeding of a cow is rot attained the ‘‘economical"’ —-witbhholding—process, but full feed- ing of the best to promote the largest milk yield, the economy being found along the line of cheaper prodtction of the focd, and in combinations which afford nature a better source of nutri- ents. To this end the world has been searched to get cheap proteins and sup- ply the cow with the 2144 pounds daily which she must have to carry out in full the dsmands made upon her system in the time of milk giving. Do not hesitate to purchase the proteins. The carbohydrates, four-fifths of the ration, can be cheaply grown on the farm in the form of corn and its fodder, hay aud like crops, and the proteins can be supplied to some extent in clover, but so long as 80 per cent—approximately —-of the protein in bran, oilmeal and like foods is returned to the fertility supply there is no reason why these cannot be purchased and prove to be one of the most economic parts of the

ration,

the needed protein.

Another feature of the matter is that crops like corn, potatoes and oats—ul starch crops—can be raised and ¢x- changed often direct for proteius lie bran or ocilmeal. For the past three or four years at the writer’s station a ton of oats and their grinding would pro- cure 11g tons of best fine bran, which

every way as good as or better for milk than the cats, and made the half over a clear gain. The 200 bushels per acre at 20 cents even would purchase over four tons of bran, and this would be- come a cheaper source of nitrogen, or rather protein, than could possibly be secured on the farm acre. Taking it all in all, when it comes to be demonstrat- ed exactly, I hazard the opinion that if the resulting manure is carefully han- dled and applied tothe land with as little loss as may be, the proteins need- ed for the cows can be purchased cheap- er than they can be grown in the clover. On the other hand, clover is never to be cverlooked as one of the greatest crops in the economics of farming. Its weak point is its uncertainty on the

well seeded pastures average farm, but bran and oilmeal

well fed and cared for as a feed residue will soon put the farm into a condition where the clover will grow with a reasonable assurance of success, and fed with the purchased proteins it will soon solve the question of economy in feeding the cows. —Jchn Gould in Coun- try Gentleman.

It is to be feared that some of the noted cow tests are frauds of a most disgraceful kind. A writer records that once during the test of a famous cow for quantity of butter in a given time he caught the man who had charge of her slipping a quantity of the thickest cream through an aperture in the sealed vessel containing the cream from the cow’s milk. The foreign cream was putin by means of a tube. Thero is reason to believe the like has been dons more than once. The fellow who would be guilty of it ought to be drammed from one end of the country to the other with a placard bearing the word ‘*thief’’ upon his back. Honest owners of fine cows are discouraged by such knavéry and refuse to enter their cows for tests.
