THE FINE CATTLE TO BE SOLD AT STATE
COLLEGE.—Owing to the recent destruc- |
tion by fire of the State College barn, to- |
gether with the entire season’s crop of hay
and grain, it is deemed best by the execu- |
tive committee of the board of trustees to |
disperse the dairy and beef herd, which |
has been kept partly for illustration and
partly for supplying the College professors |
with milk. This dispersal will take place |
September 22nd, at the College barn, be-
ginning sharply at 12:30 o’clock.
Of the individual animals offered, too
much cannot be said. Most of them are
of high grades, and no pains has been
spared in building up a herd of the great-
est possible usefullness. Among the finest
of the offering are some individuals which
are worthy of special mention. Two of
these are registered Short Horn cows. One
is of Cruikshank breeding ; the other of
Bates strain. Both are believed to be
safely in calf by a registered Short Horn
bull of finest breeding. The Bates cow
now has a very fine cow calf four months
old at her side. Another is a very high
grade Short Horn cow safely in calf and,
although ineligible to registry, she is in-
dividually one of the finest in the herd.
Attention is also called to a very fine high
grade Guernsey cow. Although a record
of this cow has not been kept, she is capa-
ble of making 400lbs. of butter yearly,
with good handling.
It has been decided, because of the
great increase of the Experiment Sta-
tion herd. to sell a draft of about fif-
teen cows and heifers at the same time
and place. The Experiment Station herd
has been developed to such an extent that
it is with difficulty that the Station of-
ficers can select the fifteen head to sell.
Their sale is rendered necessary by the
limited stable room and by the fact that
there are twenty heifers to drop calves this
fall. The Experiment Station herd fur-
nishes a most excellent example of what
can be done by any thoughtful, careful
dairyman in breeding up a herd at very
little expense. The foundation of the
herd was purchased seven years ago and
consisted of grade Jersey, Guernsey and
Ayrshire cows, costing from $25 to $95 per
head. At the head of this herd was
placed a registered Guernsey bull. By
weighing the milk from each individu-
al every day and testing her for butter fat
once a month, a very good idea was had of
her capacity as a butter producer. At
first no cow was kept unless she produced
200 pounds of butter a year. After one or
two years, when this standard had been at-
tained and surpasssed, it was raised to 250
pounds, and all individuals not producing
this amount were called from the herd.
By this process the herd has finally reached
the point where it is considered by many
to be the finest working dairy herd in the
Commonwealth. The average has been
reached of 320 pounds of butter per cow
for the entire herd.

MADE A MURDEROUS ASSAULT oN His
STEP-FATHER.—Another text for a tem-
perance sermon comes to our notice from
Birmingham, just east of Tyrone, where
Casper Dehlige made a murderous assault
on his step-father and mother.
The affair occurred last Saturday even-
ing and while intoxicated Casper started
a dispute with his father about money
matters. In his drunken frenzy young
Dehlige opened a large pocket knife and
rushed at his father. The mother attempt-
ed to step between the two men, when the
son stabbed her twice in the neck, inflict--
ing two ugly wounds. She sank to the
floor when the infuriated boy plunged the
knife into his father’s abdomen, making
such a gash that the intestines protruded.
The son then fled to the woods, where he
was captured, Sunday, after an exciting
chase.
His wounded parents were taken to the
Altoona hospital. Mrs. Dehlige had her
gashes stitched together and afterwards
returned home. His father is in a serious
condition, though is reported to be on a
fair way to recovery.

THE OPENING OF THE FOOT-BALL SEA-
SON AT STATE.—On Saturday, September
25th, the regular foot-ball season at The
Pennsylvania State College will he opened.
The Pennsylvania College eleven from Get-
tysburg will meet the blue and white on
the gridiron. While the game is practically
a foregone State victory it will afford a splen-
did opportunity to form an idea of what
may be expected of the home eleven this
fall.
There will be a number of new men on
the line and at least two new ones behind
it. Whether the new players will be able
to do better than the old team did last fall,
is the uppermost question in the students’
minds, but certain it is that they won’t
have to do much to do as well.
The game will be called at 3 o'clock.
Admission 50cts.

When the day of life is fled,
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
