Big Beer Business.

ST. LOUIS, April 26.-It is now an
nounced as fact. what has heretofore
been merely rumor, that all the beer
brewers of st. Louis and east St.
Louis, excepting the Anheuser Busch
company and w. J. Lemp, have
practically formed a consolidation of
their properties and that they will be
run under one management. There
are IS breweries concerned in the
movement representing an invest
ment of about five million dol
lars. Stock and bonds to the
amount of fifteen millions will
be issued. Each company or
firm receiving the full value of it's pro-
perty in each and the remainder will
be sold by subscription, the proceeds
to be used in enlarging the principal
breweries and improving the plants
of the others. The organization is not
to be trust in any sense, but is simp-
ly business plan to improve the pro-
perties and increase their productive
powers. There will be no advance in
price of beer; no shutting down of
breweries but an attempt to increase
outside shipments.

Claimants for Coffins.

OKLAHOMA CITY, April 26.-Five
men in their collins and a maniac in
irons were carried north from this in
FAINT city yesterday. The dead men
died natural deaths. The mad man,
John Evans, left his family in Eldor-
ado, Kan, few days ago and came
to Oklahoma City on the first train
Monday, found the city in possession
of the United States marshals and
bushmen, and was unable to get
a claim. Evans had little money and
his reason gave way. He was taken
to Winfield and placed in the hospital
for the insane. Another man went
crazy the previous night and was
placed on the north bound train. At
Alfred he broke away and tried to as
sault Lieutenant Waite of the infantry
company stationed here but
was Overpowered. II want a
claim, want claim" was his in
cessant cry. He was put aboard the
train again and will be treated in the
Winfield hospital. A Kansas man
named Stevens, was shot and killed
in the presence of his wife and four
little children by two men on claims
near Alfred, Wednesday. The muir
derers fled and the unfortunate
widow walked to Alfred With the
news. The dead man was buried by
settlers and small subscription raised
to send the family home.

Cancer can be Cured

DR.. r. c. Black, of Georgia, is in the city
on a visit. He has devoted the last six
years of his life to curing cancers alone, and
during that time has not failed to cure a
single case. He came in possession of a
remedy from experiments made on a very
bad case, which killed the cancer in forty
eight hours, and in ten days time the whole
thing was removed and the affected parts
began to heal rapidly and was soon we'll, no
signs of it ever having returned.
he has cured hundreds of cases within
the last six years. and wants the public to
understand that he treats nothing but can
GERS. The doctor makes no charge until
the patient is discharged-cured. He will
remain in San Antonio, Texas several
months. Consultation free, at 40 Preaa

EX-Postmaster Parsons break
down in health is undoubtedly due to
overwork and the failure to spare him
self as he might have done. 1t is
stated that he has been away from his
office in elsyen years less than five
weeks, and that three of these
weeks were during the past win
ter. when he was forced to take
vacation by the orders of his
physician. 1t was also stated at the
time of Mr.. Nan Colts appointment
that he would not need to make any
vacancy when he appointed private
secretary, as Mr.. Pearson had always
performed the duties of that position
in addition to his own, The obvious
reflection here-and it applies to any
person holding a responsible position,
whether public or private-is that
neglect of the laws of health, through
ones Jealous devotion to duty, is a
detriment to the service that it is
sought to render, and is, in its way,
distinct fault rather than a merit.

Fattening Pigs.

Some of the results in feeding pigs at
the Illinois Agricultural college farm are
summed up as follows by Professor
Hunt:
It required on an average four and
one-eighth pounds of shelled corn to pro-
duce one pound of pork during an aver
age period of four weeks Or one bushel
produced thirteen and a half pounds.
1t required four and one-third pounds
of corn meal to produce one pound of
pork, or one bushel of corn made into
meal and fed dry produced twelve and
three-quarter pounds of pork.
When fed dry shelled corn is more
economical than corn meal to feed to fat
tening hogs.
Itrequired seven and one-third pounds,
or one-fourth bushel, Of ground oats to
produce one pound Of pork, when fed
with equal parts by weight of corn meal.
One bushel of corn is worth nearly
three bushels Of oats as food for fatten-
ing hogs.
CorrSx 4kAfigs gained about four and a
half pounds per week, and ate about
twenty-one pounds Of corn per 100
pounds of live weight.
The gain for the amount of food con-
sumed decreased during fattening.
Pork was produced during the cold
weather, with corn at twenty-eight cents
per bushel, for less than three cents per
pound.
An insufficient food supply for two
weeks caused very considerable loss in
feeding thereafter.
Indian corn is the most economical
pork producing material during the win
ter months in regions where extensively
grown.

POTATOES FOR SEED.
Tho Selection Of Tubers for seed-ImpOr.
tant Points to BE Observed.

Tho Selection Of Tubers for seed-Impor-
tant Points to BE Observed.
The selection Of seed is very impor-
tant matter, Whether one imports fresh
seed from another farm and district or
continues TO use home grown potatoes,
selection of the heaAthiest tubers must
be made. No crop benefits more from a
frequent change OF seed than potatoes,
and this is all the more commendable on
account of the increasing liability to dis
ease.
The use Of new seed will do much to
prevent loss in this way, while it invari-
ably results in substantially increasing
the crop. An English authority claims
that the seed ought to come from an
earlier climate to a later. but Of infinitely
greater Importance is it that they come
from a sharp, warm soil to a heavier and
colder. Such change will in all likeli-
hood hasten the maturing Of the tubers,
though its effect in this way will depend
largely upon the exposure of the land in
which they are grown. With a southern
exposure the old seed might attain ma
turity earlier than new from an earlier
climate under different circumstances.
A southern exposure will, in nine cases
out of every ten, bring the crop to ma
turity ten days earlier than any other.
The preparation OF sets for this years
crop should not be put off till the hour
of planting. After being cut, if cut at
all, they should be spread out on the
barn floor or similar place several weeks
before being planted The object of this
is to allow them to- dry and form an arti-
fetal skin over the wound. This pre-
vents the juice of the potato from escap-
ing or being drawn out by the earth.
They should on no account be laid aside
in a heap or thick pile. They are liable
to heat and lose fertility when stored in
this fashion; no doubt many Of the dis
appointing blanks SO often to be seen in
the potato crop are attributable to mis-
management of this sort. Many growers
sprinkle little gypsum over the sets
that are spread out in waiting for seed
ing time for the express purpose of en-
couraging the healing up of the wound
where the potato has been cut.

Oats are beyond question the best crop
to seed grass and clover with. 1t is not
so much the crop as the condition of the
soil and the time that favors the success
full growth of grass; oats secure the very
best time, and if that crop is properly
prepared for. it affords all the necessary
conditions of soil. If farmers would al

place, they may be kept in fairly
thrifty condition by keeping the grass
constantly short with the lawn mower,
and with the annual top dressing Of fine
fertilizers which the ground wilireceive,'
and thus the lawn mower becomes tool
of real utility and economy, by allowing
these fruit trees to grow on this portion
of the ground which otherwise, if occu-
pied with tall grass, would render them
stunted and worthless.
Fig. represents modification of the
preceding plan, where the farm lane on
the left is entirely separate from the
ornamental grounds, and still reaching
the carriage house and barn buildings.
The garden e. on the right is laid out SO
as to be cultivated by horse power, the
small fruits being planted in lines or
rows with the vegetables between them.
This vegetable ground is thus capable of
being plowed every spring with two
horses, and afterwards cultivated with
one horse during the summer, at little
cost, and giving much finer growth to
the small fruits and vegetables than they
could receive if the work had to be done
by hand. An average estimate places
the labor of keeping garden clean with
the horse cultivator at less than one
tenth of the work when done by hand.
