AlbuminOuS Food,

Prof. Sanborn makes some good points in
the following article on feeding stock for
market: zone of the best illustrations of
the subtle influence of diet on the structure
of the animal is seen in the greater weights
Of the hides of the more albuninOus lot.
Hides are albuminous in character and this
increase of the weight of hides is in har-
nlony with the increased weight OF hair
found with the pigs under albuminous diet
and as we'll as anything can show it shows
that we can make our cattle lean or fat with
pleasure. BUTT issaid thatany one can make
steers as lean as Jobs turkey But seek
large ration of lean with rapid growth and
fine market steer with the maximum of
lean, for our steers as now fitted Tor market
carry a mass of layer-fat. The average buy
er for consumption knows less what to do
with itthan with tatpork. A roast offatstock
show animal was about one-half thr ;wn
away at my table from excessive fat. Twas
concerned last year in the disposal of lat
stock show animals at Kansas City and
found that butchers were reluctant to han
die the animals. saying that their custom
ers did not like them on account of the
waste fatn Butchers in this and other
cities have the same reluctance to handle
very fat animals, either cattle, sheep or hogs.
There is too much waste in them, which
the slightly higher prices realized does not
offset.

Tobacco Decoction.


The use of tobacco smoke in closed rooms
like forcing houses and Conservatives is
too we'll known to need remark. That q
decoction is also very valuable is perhaps
not so we'll known. For this purpose even
the stems, or refuse powder which can be
got very cheaply in tobacco factories, will
answer we'll. OF this. bulletin 90 Of the
Michigan experimental station, says: A
pound of the tobacco to + o or
three gallons of water makes q very
effective decoction. Turn the boiling wa
ter onto the tobacco, and when cool strain
out the tobacco, and the decoction is ready
for use Last summer this was found very
effective against the striped flea beetle and
the cucumber flea beetle, both of which in
sects are often very troublesome to the gar
dener. further use confirms this property
OF the tobacco decoction we have in it q
very valuable insecticide, and may hope by
further experiment to greatly extend lis
use. 1t is, too one of the best substances
to use in the destruction of lice on cattle,
horses, and for ticks on lambs. True, the
kerosene emulsion will kill such lice, but
it does not destroy the lice SO entirely, and
does not leave the hair or the animal look
ing so well. In cold weather, after thor
oughly washing the animal to be treated, it
should be warmly blanketed and kept in q
warm place until dry. The work of wash
ing an animal is not great. The writer has.
unaided, washed large COW in ten min
utes, and did it well. Neither is it disa-
greeable.

A BRAIN AMPUTATION,
Peculiar and Successful Surgical Opera
E... fiOn in ChicarO


E ton in Chicago
CHICAGO, Dec. "a patient will leave
the county hospital this week who has I'M
dergone one of the most remarkable cases
of brain amputation that has ever taken
place IN Chicago
Last August foury year old Mamie Brown
was admitted to the hospital suffering from
a fracture of the skull The entire left side
of the head had been crushed in by the
kick of horse. A trephining operation
was performed. No i'll effects were no.
ticed for several days, when a curious
growth was observed on the head, above
and behind the right ear. A close
investigation showed that the dura
mater, or tough membrane COW
ering the brain had been fractured
and the brain was forcing its way through
the aperture and out through the fractured
skull. There was a hole in the head as
large as silver halt-dollar The brain
continued to protrude, forming hernia of
the brain. Enough forced its way out to
form lump larger than walnut. 1t was
seen that an attempt to replace the brain
would be useless, and it was decided to re-
move it.
The little woman rallied from the opera
ton, and was soon able to be running
around the yard. She has lost none of her
faculties, and seems to be as bright as any
four year-old girl should be.

Der of available troops in position to be

Operations of the Great Northern,

TACOMA. Wash, Special Telegram, Dec. 8.
Engineers OF the Great Northern railroad
have been taking soundings in the Column
bia river for some time past at a point be-
tween Rainier and Cedar Landing. and
have. been running lines on bQthssides OF
the river. This has occasioned consider
able speculation as TO the point where the
Great Northern will cross the big stream.
1t is probable that the bridge will be built
at Rainier. The Columbia at that point is
narrower than at any other point between
Astoria and st. Helens. and the adjacent
country is Of such character as to make it
easy to get down to the river from either
side. The pass for the road through the
Cascades is said to have been decided upon,
and that the road will go through a pass
near Sultan, also at fifteen miles south O
Cady Pass.

The Public Building Bills.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram. Dec o.
Public building bills will be considered on
Tuesday in the house. All members who
have bills will insist on pushing their own.
1t is safe to say that plenty of members
who have one on either side of the house
will object to favorable action on any un-
less theirs is on the list. Many Northwest
ern men have them. The largest is for St.
Paul, and Snider will be there to look alter
it. Wilson of Washington has four on the
list. Unless one of these, the one at Spo-
kane Falls, is favorably acted on he will
stop them all unless a quorum is present.
The Spokane bill is within three OF the top
Of the list. The Seattle and Tacoma bills
will hardly be reached. Helena is second
on the list.

ADDE'S in this section. ..
Blake rode into town and, alter filling up
with tanglefoot, proceeded to shoot up

rode across the country in the direction OF
st. Johns, about two miles from here. He
encountered two telegraph operators, r. L.

an antelope hunt. E.5'f
Riding up within fifty yards he called
upon them to throw up, and received an
immediate response in the shape OF volley
from Winchester in the hands of Mr..
Alexander and Mr.. Cotton's six shooter.
Blake returned the fire, hitting Cotton's
saddle horn Alexander then shot again
and Blake fell from his saddle MORALLY
wounded. The two men rode into this
place, where Alexander gave himself up to
the constable. The prevailing sentiment is
that the killing was justified. a

DESPERATE RESISTANCE.
An Indiana Murderer Captured After a
Hard Fight.


Hard Fight
CHURUBUsco. Ind, Dec. 9.-Mervin
Kuhns the desperate who is wanted at
Fostoria, Ohio, tor the murder Of a man
named Campau, was captured last night by
Sheriff Viberg and posse from Fort
Wayne. The fight between Kuhns and the
officers was a most desperate one. The
officers followed Kuhns from Fort
Wayne through the country, dis
lance OF eighteen miles to
this place. The men met on the street
short distance from the railroad station.
Kuhns had been joined in the village by
James Messe, an ex-convict and partner
OF the desperate. AS soon as the officers
approached them the outlaws opened fire
Policeman John Connolly fell at the first
volley with three deathly wounds in his
body, any one of which would be fatal
James Messe was brought down with shot
through his lett leg and was easily cap
tured.
The most desperate battle ensued between
Kuhns and Deputy Sheriff Tom Wilkinson
of Fort Wayne They fought al short range
until their revolYers were emptied. Three
times Sheriff Wilkinson put his pistol close
to kuhns' breast and fired; the desperado,
however, managed to escape. He walked
two miles until in dying condition he was
compelled to seek shelter at farmers
house. His hiding place was quickly
brought to the knowledge OF the police. and
kuhns was taken prisoner without a
struggle. When he was examined bv a
physician it was found that he was literally
riddled with bullets. One had pierced his
left lung and another his right breast two
had plowed through his intestines and sew
eral bullets had lodged in his legs The
courage displayed by the desperate was
wonderful With wounds enough to kill
dozen ordinary men, Kuhns sat upright in
chair and nothing in his demeanor indi-
Gated that he was MORALLY wounded.
Joseph Messe, after he was arrested, drew
a knife on Sheriff Wilkinson and narrowly
escaped being killed by that officer. Both
Connolly and Kuhns will die. The prison.
ers were taken to Fort Wayne this morning
to avoid lynching. Kuhns was on his
way to his fathers farm, ten miles west of
Churubusco, when he was recognized by
the Fort Wayne officers.

half its land, which is shown by affidavit;
second. that the enabling act repeats all

line OF the former decision that these lands
shall be selected in the SAME district; third.
