Split His Head Open.

Ono of the most horrible tragedies in the
fis tory of Oakland county was perpetrated
one mile south of Bloomfield Center on the
afternoon of the 18th inst, by Calvin Young,
who struck Levi Allen a powerful blow
across the left side of the head with the
sharp edge of a spade, from the effects OF
which he died at an early hour the next
morning.
About u year ago Young became angered
over some decker he had with Allen, and
since that time the two have not been on
speaking terms. Aliens house is at the
foot Of a hill on which Young recently put
a load of earth, the effect of which was TO
turn the drainage from the hill upon Aliens
property. Allen dug IA small ditch TO change
the course of the water, and Young noticed
tho alteration while ON his way TO Pontiac
and on his return took a spade, went 10 the
place and started a ditch TO run the water
onto Aliens property.
IL was about S:3D in the evening when
MIR. Allen heard HIM at work, and suppos-
ing it TO be the district p~athmaster went out
to see what was up. y moment later Mr.,
Aliens two daughters recognized HOung's
voice, and, fearing trouble, rushc out,
They found their father lying on the ground
with blood and p.ain5 oOzing from a terri
BILE wound In his head, and Young digging
the ditch. The girls ran for help, while
Young finished the d tch, went home, did
his chores, went To bod and slept until
aroused by Sheriff Matthews in the early
morning.
Allcl was about 80 years old and a quiet,
peaceable man, well liked. Young Is a
powerful man of 80 years, who has always
borne a good reputation, but was said to be
a little queer mentally and 10 have an evil
disposition when crossed. He struck Allen
with the edge Of the spnde which he was
using, making "A wound eight inches long
from the top of the skull to the left temple,
as clean cut as if made with an AK.

Danced at His Fathers Funeral.

Allen McLinn, an old aud respected
farmer, died the other day In Texas town
ship, Kalamazoo county, aged 50 years. He
was a s%piritualist and Oft-times mad said he
would dance at his own funeral. Before
dying he asked that no ceremonies take
place at the funeral in keeping with the
orthodox or other theories which he had
denounced.
The obsequies occurred in a grove in the
presence Of D large number of people. A
cornet band discoursed lively music, an
operate singer sang and children took part
in the ceremonies. Mr.. Andras Of Grand
Rapids spoke. His remarks so enthused
the deceased's son that he caught the pow
err and in timo TO music danced jigs, the
steps of which were only known to himself
and father. After the occurrence the
young man knew nothing of his strange
actions, or those of his fathers spirit in
him. The people in Texas are much
excited, and spiritualism there is having a
boom.

or INTEREST TO FARMERS.
How to Feed Horses.

Horses have small stomachs; remember
this. A good plan Is to divide corn ra-
tions into three daily portions, the hay two.
Many object to giving hay just previous
to work, as it distends the stomach and
causes the animal inconvenience.
Delicate feeders must be tempted TO take
their rations, and such should never be
fed too strongly at one time. ga Scotch
plate is rule very generally observed in
England everything cleaned up before
placing other food in the racks of managers.
A little linseed boiled TO a jelly and mixed
with the corn is seductive. Hay dampened
and salted will tempt others. Beans, 8
double handful relish in weakly subjects
pale malt for the convalescent or indis
posed damp bran and oats are engaging
for others. Some grooms give carrots anC
tares in small quantities. Carrots superin
duce diabetes if given in excessive guam
titles. The peculiar habits of horses de
mand the attention Of all horse owners anC
grooms. A sufliciency of flesh is all tina
is required, and not "hog fat" "beastl.
fat rs some phrase it.

Things Farmers Tell One Another.

"A. B. Allen SAYS: The first thing In
the morning is to water the horse, which
should be done before feeding, otherwise
It might work more or less of the food just
eaten undigested from the stomach.
"A Vermont maple sugar maker says
that the great point is to keep the sap pure
and clean so as to retain its original color;
this once lost or lessened cannot be re-
gained.
"A Connecticut farmer claims for COM
mon unbleached muslin, that ii makes
satisfactory covering for hot beds, and at
a much less cost than glass.
"A Maryland farmer tells that low
wagons with wide tires make easier work
in hauling out manure.
John M. Stahl believes that no i'm
provement in southern agriculture would
be of greater advantage than making sheer
rearing an important industry. No anima
is so well adapted to the publication and
enrichment of worn lands that are giver
oyer to noXious grewths.

As Wiz CLIP HUMOROSITIEO.

1t is a calumny on men to say that
they are reused to heroic actoin by ease,
hope of pleasure, recompense. In the
meanest mortal there lies something nobler.
Difficulty, abnegation martyrdom, death
are the allurements that act on the heart of
man.
The lark goes up singing toward
heaven but II she stops the motion of her
wings then straightway she falls So 1t is
with him who prays not. Prayer Is the
movement of the wings of the soul; 1t bears
one heavenward, but without prayer we
sink.
Sometimes am almost convinced that
the reward for honesty is far from equal to
the homage rendered rascality. We de-
mand honesty, yet too often fail to recog-
nize it.
-When a man begins fankly. "Well,
sir, / am ashamed to say" he generally
has something to tell of himself that he is
proud of.

Give Mnk Cows Plenty Of Water.

Milk stock are averse to any great
amount of exercise, and do not ordinarily
take any more than is necessary in supply
ing themselves with food. Give them
plenty of food and an easy access to water
and they will quickly fill themselves and
spend most of their time at rest. When
water is situated in out of the way places
on a farm, cows will often so thirsty for a
considerable portion of the day rather than
make special journey to obtain it. This
has been observed by all practical farmers,
and yet 1t is curious that many who are
conyersant with the fact neglect to take
proper advantage of this popularity in the
habits OF the animal. 1t is an important
object with the dairy man who desires the
highest success to promote, as far as may
be without resortng to artificial means)
the taking of an abundant quantity OF
water by his herd. MIX cannot be made
without water, and when it is secreted
largely large amount of water is absolute
ly requirec.

-When a man and woman undertake to
lead together life of "plain living and
high thinking the brunt of the struggle
always must fall on the woman.
Power is not always proportionate to
the will. One should be consulted before
the other. But the generality of men be-
gin by willing and act afterward as they

Folly consists in the drawing of false
conclusions from just principles, by which

He that is found to be reasonable in
one thing is concluded to be so in all; and
to think or say otherwise is thought so un-
just an affronI and so senseless censure
that nobody ventures to do it.
Every one whom we distinguish as
natural has independence of mind. The
judgment may not be correct, or founded
on the wsest grounds, but 1t is what it
processes to be-the mans own opinion.

If eggs are the main desideratum in
keeping fowls. avoid short-legged fowls OF

year on account of laying on too much fat,
while fowl of good length OF leg will
ordinarily lay well until three years of
age.
When a horse has nail in his foot,
either picked up or the broken part of a
shoe nail, the lameness is peculiar. The
animal holds mp the leg; when he moves
he puts the foot tenderlY on the ground,
resting it on the toe, and steps slowly and
carefully, When this is pereeieved the
foot should be examined. AT first the
foot will not be hot, but in few days
Inflammation will occur, and unless the
foot is cleaned and the nail cut out ulcera-
tion may take place and cause permanent
injury.
In relation TO the COW that suck her
self, the better way would be TO fatten and
beef her. You may possibly prevent he
doing so by making a cage of stats to fitT

not reach the udder with her mouth. The
only adYice for the cows so thin that you
have to lift them up at ealving time, is 10
feed better during the winter. Give the
cows equal parts by weight OF bran and
corn meal, commencing with eight pounds
per day, with plenty Of good hay, and
warm water 10 drink, and gradually IN
crease the feedto fifteen pounds pei COW
