Death Of Col. h. M. Pulsiser.


SAID TO HAVE COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Col r NJ. Pulsifer, for many years one of the
proprietors of the Boston Herald, was found dead
In his home at Islington on Friday morning.
There are conflicting stories about his death, one
being that he committed suicide. He was expect
ing to go to Springfield on Thursday night, but
sent note to his wife at his Boston residence say.
Ing that he Was too Ill to CO. and should instead 60
to Islington and get good nights rest, which he
greatly needed. 1t was no unusual thing for him
TO visit his country house under similar circum-
stances He also said he would 60 to Springfield
on the following morning. He was suffering at
the time from severe nervous prostration, due to
insomnia. AS Mrs. Pulsfer had received no word
from her husband up TO Friday night she bee ime
alarmed and directed that a search Be made for
him. Upon opening the door OF the room known
as the guests chamber the body was found lying
on low bed In perfectly natural position, as II
In slumber. The family assert that death was due
TO natural causes, and the medical examiners so
declared. The general belief in Boston, however
is that Col Pulslfer committed suicide to escape
worry on account OF his business troubles. It was
first stated that he had taken opium, but tele-
phone message from Newton said he had shot him
self through the heart, probably on Thursday
night, though the body was not found till Satur-
day. The message also stated that q revolver was
found on the bed beside the dead man.

that success in feeding swine for profit
undoubtedly consists in supplying
them with sufficient good grass to keep
up the waste Of the system, supply
animal heat and maintain a healthy
growth. Then the extra food will be
used for putting on flesh. The extra
food digested all goes TO profit. whereas
the food that supplies the animal waste
produces no gain in flesh; and If nc
more is fed than to supply waste in the
young animal, the food is all thrown
away.

not grown something that will do to
show? There's pay in it. Why not
breed a better class of stock and make

the rings. II he will do this he will

feet from the floor. In the cage was a

they were all there in the cage, but,

inside the snake. The reptile had
swallowed the birds. and then. being
so increased in girth as TO be unable to

coiled itself up in the bottom Of the
cage. where it was discovered by the
owner of the house.

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
The Corn Field--Fodder Pulling.

We are again confronted with the
question as to the expediency Of strip
ping the blades from the stalks of corn,
or "fodder-pulling." This question
has been discussed for more than q
generation by scientific men and by
practical farmers. and many direct ex-
per1ments have been made to determine
whether or no removing the blades at
the usual time Injuries the yield of
grain more than the resulting net value
OF the fodder. The results of these ex-
Periments have been as various and con-
nlcting as the conditions under which
they were conducted. We still hold
that fodder-pulling does not materially
inJure the grain IL not done before the
latter has become glazed and too hard
TO be easily cut with the thumb-nail.
1here are many fields In which this
condition OF the grain will not have
been reached until after many OF the
blades have fired or died. In such
cases the farmer may well pause and
consider whether he will strip the
blades before the corn is quite safe
from injury. and thus get more and
better fodder and less grain, or let the
blades remain untouched and secure
the largest possible yield of grain.
NO general rule can be given for guild
ance In such cases. but every farmer
must exercise his own judgment. II
there has been no other provision made
ior long forage. most farmers will not
hesitate long before deciding to pull
fodder. even at the certain cost Of
damage to tho grain to the full net
value OF the fodder. The truth is we
should not rely on this resource for
fodder. but special hay or forage crops
should be provided. There is nothing
better than bright. well-cured
corn blades. and hardly any
thing that costs more labor
per ton to save. Moreover the fodder
from a crop that will yield enough
grain for all farm purposes will rarely
amount to half supply OF long forage
for the same farm. 1t will usually
sunice for tho pillow animals and give
an occasional bundle to cattle; but the
crop is often insufficient for the former.
Any farmer who will make it point
to save all the hay that can be made.
even from the ordinary uncultivated
grasses, will realize the difference in
cost and results between stripping corn
blades singly and by hand. and cutting
grass with q mower, or even an ordi-
nary grass-blade.
A very economical way to save corn
fodder. and not so likely to injure the
corn. is to strip OF all the blades be-
low the ear and cure in the usual way;
and then. after the ears are entirely
safe. cut on the top stalks just above
the ear and save stalks and blades all
together.-Diric Farmer.

Diversifying Crops in the South.

The wisdom OF diversifying crops in
the South has been SO often written
upon that it is now a well-worn topic,
but never SO much as at present have
the practical benefits demonstrated
themselves. Some years back no crops
were ever spoken Of in Louisiana but
sugar. cotton and rice. planters not
even raising sufficient corn to feed
their stock. whilst now. with heavier
yields of the main staples than ever.
the State produces large crops Of corn.
oats. hay, potatoes, onions, besides
many other smaller crops.
Although corn has never been con-
sidered one Of our staple products. or
even an important crop. yet very nearly
the same number of acres were planted
in corn in 1887 that were devoted to
cotton. and the value OF our corn crop
was over 100000 Although a
comparatively small acreage is devoted
to onions and potatoes, yet during sew
eral months Of the present year Lou
isiana supplied very nearly the whole
country. Hay culture has been in.
augurated and Is making rapid strides.
Louisiana hay being already familiar
commodity in this market.
That this diversifcation OF crops has
been q s0uce OF wealth to the State can
not be denied; besides it has encour-
aged immigration. and promises. Us it
develops. to do still more in that line.
According to the report Of the State
Commissioner of Agriculture. the acre
age and yield Of the principal crops in
1927 fo11nv~,.
