COWS TRAINED
FOR THE TEST
i€fseys at the World's Fair Are Ex
pected to Show That Tbe> Are
Superior to All Other Breeds.
Tbe heril of Jersey cows assembled
at the World's Fulr at St. Louis to rep
resent the Jersey breed lu the universal
dairy test has been Inspected and has
beeu pronounced In perfect condition
aud ready to start upon their six
months' grind on a day's notice.
W. It. Spann of the Iturr Oak Jersey
farm, Dallas, Tex., was the inspector,
and he wa9 thorough in his work, lie
passed a week on the Exposition
grounds, and much of the time was
spent in and arouiul the Jersey cattle
barn, and the condition of each indi
vidual of the herd of forty cows was
definitely ascertained.
Never was more Intelligent and care
ful treatment lavished on animals. No
athlete was ever better trained for a
contest requiring the develoj ... Nt of
speed, skill and endurance than ii:;s
been this herd of Jerseys. When it is
known that this herd is to compete
with selected herds of Holsteins, Short
horns, Brown Swiss and iH-vons, and
the herd making the l>est score for the
production of butter, milk and cheese
is to establish the staudlnr of the
various breeds, the importance of the
cows belli.; in perfect condition may
be understood.
For a solid car the Jerseys have
beeu in constant training. Twenty
five cows will participate In the con
test. Cows were selected from the
best herds In the United States.
Dr. .t. J Uichardsou. president of
lh<- An erican Jersey Cattle Club, un
der «vL«>se iUspices this ls ls made,
tot! re.l Europe and visited the famed
Isle of Jersey, where the breed origi
nated. He was seeking the best cows,
but returned satisfied that Europe
could show no cows that were better
than those bred In America.
Though only twenty-five cows will
participate lu the test, forty cows were
selected. They w«-re assembled at
Jerweyville, 111., a year ago. This is
near St. Louis, and the cattle have be
come acclimated Last liecember they
were n-moi *-d to St Louis. The cows
are the property of Individual members
of the club and are loaned for the term
of the test C. T. Graves, a breeder
at Maltlan-1. Mo., was selected as the
s-perlnten.lent to have charge of the
cattle, and he has U*en highly com
plimented by Dr. EUduudaon and In
sj»s-tor Spunn for the wonderfully fine
condition in which he has placed the
herd
A series of model dairy barns have
been built f\>r the breeds competing In
the test The barns are octagonal in
form, and are so arranged that the
cows are In tbe center and a wide
promenade j>eruilts visitors to ftass
arouitd and view the cows as they
siaal Ln tb--:r stalls.
The inilk.ng and feeding are to be
dune ln plain view of the public, and
represent*!. -eg of tbe vsrious herds
will at all t.iues have access to all the
to see that no sharp practices
are indulged In.
Tbe test not only consists In show
ing the am "ant of butter, milk and
cheese product bat the cost of pro
dactiuD is taken Into consideration.
Evtrj ounce of fond given each cow is
weighed and carefully recorded. When
the cowrs are isilknl. the milk Is con
's eyed to a model eresiraery In the Ag
ricultural building, where It Is tested
and made Into butter and cbees** and
where all records are carefully kept.
The Jersey cattle participated ln a
similar test at Chicago during tbe Co
lumbian Exposition and carried off
first honors
Superintendent Graves Is sanguine
over the result of The present test. He
aays that the Jerseys have always
demonstrated their superiority over all
other biveds when placed In competi
tion. and this time they will show to
better advantage than ever. Not only
Is the Jersey milk richer In butter fat
than the milk of any other breed, says
Mr Graves, but It can be produced at
a less cost. Tbe Jersey cows are the
smallest of the standard and
be asserts that they consume b*ss feed.
They asalmiiate their food, and It Is
coo verted into mi'.k and butter and is
not cs**d tn building up and sustaining
a large carcass
"We are going to make all other
breeds take to the woods after this
t«*t." said Mr. Graves. "A few days
ago I was testing some of our Jersey
milk, and aiy hands were all sticky
and grensT from the enormous amount
of butter fat the milk contained. Mr.
Von Heyne. who Is ln charge of the
Holsteins sent over a quantity of his
milk for me to test. Of Course, from a
commercial standpoint, there was no
comparison between the milk, but it
was a pleasure to test his milk, for
when I got through there whs bo
grsase on my hands After this I
will have a bucket of Holstetn milk
around handy to wash my bands in
after testing our own rich Jersey milk."

Unique California Map.
A unique exhibit at the World's Fair
was prepared by tbs agricultural de
partment of tbe University of Califor

of Curran's ready wit.
A certain Judge, I.ord Norbury. was
famous for the alacrity with which he
condemned prisoners to death when
he might have pronounced a more
merciful sentence. On one occasion
when he was dining in public with the
foremost memliers of the Dublin bar
he helped himself to some meat, at the
same time asking:
-Is this hung In-ef?"
"Not yet," said Onrran quickly.

A CASE OF
CONSCIENCE
[Original.]
"Jim," paid tin- keeper, "I wish you
i to promise me that you'll never do
anything to make It necessary for mo
to hurt you. I'd rather put a bullet
Into myself than Into you."
"I'll try, Hill, to lif satisfied to do my
time, lutt sometimes I feel that If 1
don't get out (»' hen* I'll go crazy."
"Bo patient; you've only got a year
und a half more, counting time off for
good behavior, and that'll soon pass."
The convict turned away with a dis
satisfied exclamation; the keeper lock
ed him In his cell and returned to his
office.
.lust three months from that time
Jim Hurt, after a visit from his wife,
who smuggled him a steel saw, cut
two bars out of his window, let him
self down by means of his bedclothes,
dodged the guard and got awa.v. When
the escape was reported to the keeper
he heaved a sigh and, arming himself,
started In pursuit.
"I must get Jim or kill him," he
said. "Everybody knows that he and
I were schoolmates, and everybody
will believe that I connived at Ills es
cape."
There was more than this in Bill
Connolly's determination to capture or
shoot his old friend a cast iron con
science. He considered it his duty to
safely keep every prisoner, and If any
one of them escaped to get him, dead
or alive. He could make no exception,
and in the case of his former friend he
must make a greater effort. He divid
ed the pursuing force into sections,
sending them In different directions,
keeping one route for himself, a route
he felt sure Jim Burt would take. Tom
Hathaway, who had been one of a trio
of friends when they were boys. Bill
Connolly and Jim Burt being the oth
ers, lived In a retired spot between
two mountains, a convenient place to
hide, and Bill knew that Tom would
hide their old friend BUI.
One with a less sturdy conscience
■would have look«>d elsewhere for the
fugitive except in the place where he
felt sure lie was to be found, but Con-
Dolly could no more lie to himself than
to those by whom he was paid to do
his duty. He went alone to Hatha
way's. hoping that he might the better
prevail uinm Jim to return with him
voluntarily.
It was a cold winter day when the
keeper approached Hatha way's place.
Connolly shivered at the thought of
Burt's be'ng obliged to lie in conceal
inent In the cold.
At Hatl: jway's he was told by Mrs.
Hathaway tllathaway was not at
bonM-i thst Burt had not been there.
But he had. and she had given hlni her
husband's overcoat.
Connolly knew of a cleft In the rocks
a short distance up the road and felt
sure he would And his man then 1 . He
walked till he came to an opening In
the bu>hes through which a path lei to
the little cove, then took the path and
advanced. When he came within a few
hundred y*rds of the hiding place a
voice callec:
"Halt™
•"Come out. Jim."*
•"Never alive, Bil-T.**
"You know my duty."
• No, I d«»n't. Lily. I suppose you d "
"I'm oldi£cd to take you back with

It would giieve me to shoot my old
friend- You see, I've pot a posit, o

damage, or rather you cau't see. for

"And you'll kill me while I'm doinf
only my duty, a duty that I cant fail
to perform without dishonor."
"1 don't exactly s*v it in that light.
You have y- :r «Id friend's x* rd t! t

he is punished. The master you serve,
the Mate, has made a mistake. What
you want tod» Is to make a big eff rt

"That's nt my way of dolug a

jury has d«»ue that. If they bit your
«-a>e wrong. tint's your misfortune "
"Ami if you an* my Ja.ler trying t»
take me and I kill you iu self defense
that's v >ur misfortune."
There was a long silence, at the end
of wldi h Connolly said, in a tone he
might have to a stranger:
"Prisoner, come out and surrender or
I*ll oj>en lire on you."
To which, after a short silence, Burt
replied:
""K«-eper. I'll uot take advantage of
a man who regards it his duty to kill
me. If I must tight you, I'll tight you
in the open.**
He sprang over a rock and advanced,
tiring and receiving his antagonist's
tire as he advanced. He had emptied
throe chaml>ers of his revolver and
Connolly had emptied rive of his when
both fell some thirty feet apart and
lay without motion.
Late that night Hathaway returned
to his home and learned that both his
old friends had t>eeu there. Burt had
told Mrs. Hathaway where he was go
ing and asked her to tell her husband
to come and consult u|»on some plan
for further action. Hathaway hurried
away. The moonlight lay on the white
snow as he left the road and struck
into the path that led to the rocks. He
walked rapidly till he came to the
bodies of Burt and Connolly lying side
by side. He placed his hand first on
Burt's then on Connolly's heart. Burt's
was still; Connolly's was beating feo
hlv. The overcoat that Mrs. Hathaway
had loaned l!iirt had been thrown over
Connolly. Burt, knowing that he had
receivitl his d»"ith wound, had crawled
to his friend and carefully covered
him.

DEATH WEEK.
A Singular (>rrin«iil«il Which
I'luce In Kuritl ItiiMnla.
"Death week," the "Smartna Nedel
ya" «>f tlic Slavonic people, marks the
end of winter In rural Russia. It i»
; kept during tlit- last seven days of
1 March and is a survival pure and siin
• pic of early paganism. In the old
I Slavonic mythology, as in the minds
of the mass of untaught Kusslans now
1 adays, ihc idea of death and winter is
closely associated, and the ceremonies
proper to the "death week," from tilt!
! sacritlce to tin- "Vodyanoi," or water
spirit, with which it begins, to the
driving out and drowning •>f death,
with which it terminates, are based
upon the superstition that was former
ly universal in northern Europe.
When the Ice begins to break on the
waiter, winter is considered over in
ltussia, and the breaking of the ice is
due the Russian peasants hold to the
"Vodyanoi," or water spirit, who has
his abode in the rivers and streams,
lie has slept over the winter, they say,
and wakes hungry and ancry with the
tirst rays of the returning sun. He
bursts the congealed cover w of the
water, sends the ice floes drifting,
drt/es the tish from their haunts and
causes the streams to overflow.
In tne last week of March, therefore,
before the Ice begins to break, the peas
unts in rural Russia start the "death
week" celebration by preparing a sac
rifice for the "Vodyanoi," so that he
shall not be kept waiting when he
awakes from his winter sleep. They
meet together in the village where the
celebration is to take place and sub
scribe a sum of money for the pur
chase of a young horse. The animal
must not be a gift, but bought for
money. It must not be bargained for,
and no one person must contribute more
than another to the amount required.
The horse is taken to a stable spe
cially reserved for the gift to the "Vo
dyanoi" and fed for three days on
bread and oil cake. On the fourth day
at midnight the horse is taken from
the stall and conducted to the nearest
river or stream, the villagers follow
ing in a body. The mane is decorated
with ml riblions. tlie head smeared
with honey, the legs are tiixl together
and a couple of millstones secured to
the iMM-k. Then a hole is made in the
Ice and tlie horse thrown Into tin- wa
ter. a living sacrifice to the "Vody
anol."
Flslter folk in the Archangel district
pour a quantity of fat into the water
instead of throwing in a horse, and
tlx* millers of the t'kraine cast the
horse's head into tin- river and not tin
living animal. After appeasing the
water spirit the hou<e spirit, the "I*v
movol," calls for a sacrifice. He
awakes on the night of March 25 and
will wait only three days for his otter
ing So, on returning from ttie river
side, the villagers pr< pare a suitable
gift f<w him. Tln-y take a fat black

A Memory of ills Voulh.
Two Rockland men were negotiating
to swap horses the other flay when sud
denly the younger man paused, scratch
ed bis head as If to recall something,
and said quizzically. "Didn't I goto
your place once when 1 was a boy to
buy a horse, and didn't you try to In
duce me to buy one whose knees were
so badly sprung that each fore leg al
most made a right angle?"
"Believe you did,' replied the other.
"Yes, I now recall it distinctly," said
the younger man "Von told me that i
the knee springing was caused by feed- .
Inn the hor--' from too high a manger,
didn't you. and that if I took the horse
home and fed him from the floor the
knees would spring back'/"
"B'lieve I did." answered the other.
"Then I guess I won't strap horses
with yo'i O'lang" !.• wiston Journal
