ALBANY, March 23.—Governor Roose— ‘ velt has received a letter from Rev. Da- 'id Cole, who attended Mrs. Place at the time of her execution and who was the first person to bring up the question of her alleged insanity. The letter is dated Yonkers, March 21, and is as fol— lows: 1 “The clear confession of Mrs. Place at a late hour, having swept away all . ground for the impression under which I had so confidently rested of her irre— sponsibility for her act in killing her stepdaughter, I hasten to say that I have nothing left to my manhood sense :but to sustain your action in her case throughout. The case has drawn my attention more than it ever had been drawn before to the study of the sub— ject of capital punishment. But this has nothing to do with you. In your position it was your duty to execute our law as it is, and your course has been beyond criticism.” The Icebound Gaspesia Heard From.

We hear very much of the uncertain temper of Jersey bulls. No doubt this is the inevitable result- of bad training- ——or want. of training, says an ex- change. The bull has never been .sub— jected to control. He does not acquire the confidence ofhls keeper and feeder, and from the first the natural dispo- sition is never checked or turned in the- way it. should go. 33' feeding by hand from the first and afterwards tether- ing: in pasture when the first. milk feed- ing has continued for two or three months—and indeed if the season ad- mits of it v lien it is 11 month old—the c2111" becomes used to control and sub- mits without opposition to every wish of the keeper.. After grown townear full age the training should be con- tinued by giving him work to do, by which subjection is fully confirmed. idleness is the parent of vice; and to keep the young animal in this subject- ive state by 11 01k Of some kind, if only as an exercise, will confirm its disposi~ tion and prevent the resistance to con- trol, which is the basis of a Savage and unruly habit afterwards. Indeed, train- ing—by which I mean the teaching and forming of the disposition by practice and kindness, with firmness always and at. times with discipline—should be the rule with every animal on the farm. Even fowls will be more useful and more easily managed by this training when they are young, learning to be keepers. FIRST-CLASS COWS. Some Good Reasons Why Dairy Farmers Should Keep No Others in Any Circumstances. The chief difiiculty in makingdairy farming successful is the great number of cows that do not pay their keep and whose products are always sold at a. loss. If one-tenth of all the cows owned were fatted at. once and sold for beef it would remove from the market the surplus butter and cheese which are now keeping prices too low for profit. Prices might be temporarilya little higher until the stock of the best cows can be made large enough to sup- ply the demand. Then, with prices no higher than they have been, and per- hafis not so high, all dairymen would make money. Getting rid Of the poor- est cows will also do away with most of the inferior butter. When a. farmer knows that his cows are not paying he grows careless and often uncleanly in the dairy. When his butter is found to be inferior he is apt to blame it all to his luck, and thus, instead of trying to improve, making matte-rs worse. The best way to arouse such farmers to bet- ! ter methods is to increase the milk and butter capacity of their cows. When [they secure cows that they can feel some pride in they will be likely to take pride in every part of their busi- ness.—American Cultivator. . Temper as an Influence on Voice.
