Cows Shrinking In Milk

This is the time of year that there is
usually a sudden shrinkage in the milk
yield. Frosted grass is not nearly as
nutritious As it was before the frost came.
The COWS I'LL themselves up on it, for they
can do no better, but their stomach can
hold no more than when they had sweet,
nutritious grasses, When the cud comes
up to be rechewed it is not as sweet as it
should be. The COW may get all out of
it that there is, though as the grass and
cud does not taste as good as usual, there
is probably less saliva mixed with it, and
here comes another loss. 1t is the bust
ness of the farmer to supplement the lack
of nutrition in frost bitten grass. If he
does this, he is wise. If he does it not
he is otherwise

As to the matter OF rooms. Many
houses are divided up into small rooms,
great fault. Large rooms are the better
and more healthful. Rooms exposed to

Ventilation is usually neglected, and

STRANGLED HIMSELF.
Suicide of a Chinese nurderer at
Los Angeles.
He Tied His Queue Around His Neck
and Hanged Himself to the Bars
of His Cell.
Special to The MORNING CALL.

Los ANGELES, Dec. 16.-Ah Yung. the
Chinaman condemned to death for the muir
der of the boy. Ferdinand Inijado. CON-
mitted suicide by hanging himself by his
queue in his cell between and o'clock this
morning.
In the cell where the suicide took place
there were three present-the victim, Pom
pey Smith. who undertook TO slash of the
head of John Manning with razor in a
saloon on Peo Heights Wednesday night.
and Frank Guzman. awaiting trial on a
charge of burglary.
The last two worthless were not aware of
the horrible tragedy that was taking place
beneath their hunks.
When the jury returned a verdict of muir
der in The first degree. Yung was committed
to the custody of the Sheriff to appear at
some future time for sentence. He was
taken back to the County Jail and placed
in one of the cells of the middle tanks. on
the north side of the jail. These cells are
about eight feet in length and six feet in
width, and face east and west. There are
three hunks. arranged like berths in n Pull
man car. the upper bunk being occupied by
Guzman, the middle by PompeY Smith, and
the lower by Yung. The space between
the middle bunk and floor is about three
and a half feet.
AT 7:45 o'clock this morning Turnkey
R0Ques passed along the corridor outside of
the tanks. He stopped opposite Yung's cell,
and, as was his custom when passing, asked
him how ne was feeling. Pretty wei"
was the reply, and the turnkey proceeded
on his rounds. just one hour later Trusty
Thompson went into the tank 10 notify the
prisoners to prepare for breakfast. Step
ping into the cell occupied by Yung he was
Mortified to see the Chinaman with his legs
drawn UP, his tongue protruding and his
arms hanging by his side with his hands
tightly clinched.
Turnkey Roques was summoned, and
upon investigation it was found that the
condemned Chinaman had cheated the gall
lows by hanging himself. using his queue and
few pieces of cloth torn from his coat as
means of execution. He had twisted his
queue about his neck and then taken the piece
of cloth. fastened the queue to the fat bars of
his cell, and then, with determination
born of despair. drew bis feet from the floor
and calmly awaited death

of them. Three or four girls were busy
about gas range, sink and rear table.
and fine or six more were about the long
table, and Miss Whitaker doing ali sorts of
things.
Some OF the girls. in long aprons and
false sleeves, had chopped fine lot of raw
beef, and then Miss WHITAKER showed them
how to pick up bunch Of 10 and lightly

was part of a lesson on foods for the sick

a thick milk porridge that was strangely
delicious, beef juice OF which spoonful
was as strong in n0urishment as cup of
beef tea and all sorts OF things like that.
