nice little place in the suburbs of Peoria, Ills.
His homestead includes an acre or so Of
ground, and he is thus enabled TO enjoy the
delights of fresh drawn eggs, new laid milk,
and garden sass He keeps one cow-a fawn
colored Jersey, with a pedigree yard long,
and blue ribbons on her finely polished horns
Distillery mash was just then coming into
use as feed for stock, and my cousin con-
cluded that he would experiment with it.
Distillery mash, which is the residue OF the
grain after it has served the distiller's pur
pose, Is supposed to be innocuous, although its
value on the bovine bill of fare has been
questioned. Well, my cousin had load de-
lyered at his house, and the next morning
he began feeding it TO his Jersey. II was
cheap, aid he did not stint In the quantity.

Oquawka was billed TO visit them that day,

ner the old man would drink neither tea nor
