KOKOMO, Ind, Jan. 12-The Kokomo

in on this deal and all able-hodied men re-
fusing work will be cut off the dependent
list and be no longer fed at public expense.
The wages allowed will be from TO 10

than nothing, and preferred TO idleneSs by
the newly-made poor. This will give en-

Grip-Crazed Negro Ruins Amuck.

PITTSBURG, Jan. 12.-Joseph c. Hilton,
the colored janitor employed at the United
States Court rooms in this city, has been
i'll with grip for several weeks. During the
temporary absence of his wife at the gro
Gerry store about 10 o'clock this morning
he became suddenly insane. and, seizing
two revolvers. leaped from the second
story window of his room to the street. He
was not seriously injured in the fall and
then ran amuck for several blocks along
Locust and Forbes streets firing right and
left and uttering the most unearthly yells.
AS he ran down Locust street he encoun-
tered his wife coming from store and
fired at her, but the bullet went wide of
its mark. Without stopping to ascertain the
result of the shot he continued on his way,

for cover. but the aim was better this time
and the bullet took effect in his back. in
f1icting a dangerous wound. An unknown
woman was the next target, but she got
away uninjured. When the corner of Mil
tenberger and Forbes streets was reached
Hilton stopped, and, placing one of the re-
volvers in his mouth. blew off the top of
his head. The result of Clatty's injuries Is
not known. but 1t is thought he will re-

OYSTERS.
What Are the Best Ways to Prepare

The Philadelphia way Of preparing oys-

ters can only be had at the restaurants.

SxvindIing Farmers.

Dairy Farming Pays.

At the meeting of the Michigan dairy
association one speaker said: Theoretf-
cally, the grain farmer stops short of
the profits he might secure if he turned
his grain into meat. And there is greater
profit still in cows than i'm meat. if the
farmer has the executive ability To en-
ploy labor proftably. The needed labor
in many cases gives employment to the
farmers own sons. IN other industries
the manager finds a place for his son i'm
his own line of business and the young
man is given the inside track with the
advantage of his fathers experience and
counsel ON the ordinary farm this cam
not be the case. To sum up this phase
OF the question the dairy gives oppor-
tunity for the average farmer 10 increase
his business so as to employ more labor
and provides employment for his own
sons on his farm He can grow his own
cows. raise the feed upon his own farm
and his product is q finished one. that
is, it goes out in the shape in which it
is to be consumed.
Dairying is less hazardous and per-
mits of closer calculations than grain
growing. The output of an average good
COW IS a tOlerably certain quantity The
price of butter is as little variable eX-
cept as with the season. as that of any
staple. If ten cows means a certain
profit. twenty means twice that. With
grain-growing much depends upon the
season. and "A good harvest may mean
less money than a poor one. The indi-
viduality of the dairyman counts for
more than that of the g1ain-grower. All
wheat is wheat, but the butter-maker is
known by the quality Of his goods. II
is true that grass and COW feed must be
grown before the dairy man can make
the butter. but the limits of a well-bal-
anced and profitable food ration are not
easily reached. II feed of this or that
kind is high the daryman scans the
whole range of feed-stuffs and their
combinations until he finds a feed that
will make milk at a profit.
The successful dairyman either be-
comes chemist or hires one 20 make an
analysis and is ever studying over the
problem of cheap and additional sources
of raw material.
If the product Of the dairy should go
down below the cost of production. as is
the case with wheat. the daiTyman can
close his factory. In the raising of farm
products he can compete with any far
mer. and his beef is but little inferior
to that of the professional steer feeder.
Last. but not least. dairy farming does
not rob the soil Of its fertility but
rather increases il.

Necessity of Farm Education.

hay for my horses than three tons of
timothy. Still, 1t is undoubtedly true
that the improper use Of clover hay IS
more likely to cause heaves than the use
of timothy. l say improper use, the
abuse, rather.
THE chief value of the horse is in his
strong muscles and his powers Of endur-
ance, and these come from those foods
rich in the albuminoids, as it is we'll
known that those only furnish the ma
terial for muscular growtA. Clover hay
is rich in these elements, and hence It's
high value as horse food. The reason
why clover hay. when fed in unlimited
qualities 10 the driving horse. produces
the injury, is no fault Of the clover, but
because Of IT'S superior excellence. When
the horse is allowed 20 eat his fill. the
clover is so palatable that he VIII gorge
