Where Flint Missed Il.

From che Flint Globe.
A. l.. ALDRICH, FLINT, MICH,
Dear Strive wish to inform you that
since we left your city we have one of the
finest factories i'm the state OF its kind, at a
cost of $12.500. We have forty horse
engine and boiler and all new machinery
and this month we will add a large power
punch, % inch throat, aud large shears for
cutting steel plate, and number of other
small tools. We have bought the s0le.right
to manufacture the celebrated Dederick steel
hay press for Michigan and sale in the
United States. We will commence manu-
featuring at once twenty-five presses, and
they range in price on three styles at $500,
1915 and $3.50 each, 1t was the only hay
press that dare show up at the field trial at
the Worlds Fair and 1t walked away with
all gold medals. Everyone knows it is the
best press made. We have over 15O of them
in your county.
We have dOhe better business in OwOsse
since we left Flint and have no desire to
return. This is one Of the good industries
Flint could have had il the council had not
been so particular about traction engines.
But, as II cannot be helped, we will stick to
Owosso. Yours respectfully,
CAsTREE Il SHAW.

James Low of Clinton. Mr. Low farm Is
composed of deep loan soil and his
speciality is hay for market. be buys
commercial fertilizers by the carload and
uses it both as a top dressing and on IN
verted sod. He uses 1000 pounds to the
acre when used alone, and 90 pounds
when used in connection with barnyard
manure He gets good results from using
five two. horse loads of stable dressing and
500 pounds of fertilizer to the acre, al
though he claims barnyard manure costs
more to use and apply than the fertilizer
His advice to farmers was to purchase fer
tilizers that had plenty of bone in them

Grange was held with Clinton Grange.
Nov A. W. NJ. J. II. Barton presiding
The topic. How Shall We Feed Cur
Cows to Obtain the Best Results in Butter
Producton?' was opened by Lecturer
Clifford, who said he did not believe in
feeding large quantities of grain to cows,
neither did he believe feeding cottonsccd
meal and coarse food would give the same
results as some claimed. II don't believe,
continued he THAT in feeding large
quantities of grain we get as large profit
as we do by feeding smaller quantities.
A COW $ digestion may be spoiled by feed
ing too much grain; they may do well for
while, but the time will come when they
will show the effects of high feeding We
should take good care of cur cows and feed
them wisely to get the best results. The
same rule for feeding will not apply to all
cows: different cows requiring different
rations am now feeding one quart of
cottonseed meal and the same of shorts,
with sufficient amount of hay night and
morning"
Bro Meadcr having arrived. was
called upon and said Feeding re-
quires thought and study There is not
/
Il cow alive a COW will live on hay alone
but will not make much butter. a COW
has to eat too much Lay to make proper
ration. so substitutes are provided in the
form of condensed feed The question is,
what is the best feed for substitute for
hay. Ensilage is considered the best for
a coarse food, but analysis shows 1t is not
perfect food and that cottonseed meal
supplies the deficiency TO certain extent
The combination, hay, cnsilage and cot
tonseed meal is the best perhaps VIC can
feed for butter production. Experiments
prove We may often get as good results by
feeding less expensive food than what we
are using. / find the most profit by feed
ing three pounds each of corn and cotton
seed meal and shorts per day with IA
pounds Of hay, to my cows. When feed
ensilage l use only eight pounds of hay"
In answer to q question Bro. Meader said
his cows and heifers together averaged 230
pounds of butter apiece for the year He
also said he tried to substitute peas for
cottonseed meal but could not get as good
results from the peas as from the cotton
seed.
Bro Libby said from six cows in six
days he churned 81 pounds of butter. The
feed was partly meadow hay with /: light
grain ration of cottonseed meal. corn meal
and shorts. His usual ration in full feed
is two quarts each of corn and cottoaseed
meal with four quarts of shorts. His
cows have averaged 300 pounds of butter

MAY BE MURDER.
H. H. Holmes Of Boston, the Bogus
Po5y Insurance SwindIer,
May be Charged With the Nsurder Of the Man
... Ne Had Insured.

Philadelphia, Nov. lS.-H. II. Holmes,
alias H. II. Howard the man arrested in
Boston, charged with swindling the
Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Associa-
ton of this city. ont of $4,000, by palm
ing off ii bogus corpse as the body of B. f.
Pitzcl. will be brought here tomorrow.
He may he charged with murder
When the body Of the supposed Pitzcl
was found in the room here, Sept. 3, it
was stretched flat upon the floor and per-
fectly rigid. The coroner's physician
claims the body could not have been
brought here in "A trunk from another city,
as stated by Holmes, because it was stiff,
and body once bent does not again be-
come rigid. 1t showed no marks of
where it had been doubled up in ii trunk.
The theory is advanced that the body
was really that of Pitzel. 1t is argued
that PitZel and other conspirators plotted
to disfigurc the former by burning the
face with some chemical and calling in Il
physician to prescribe for the injuries.
The body was then to be procured and
disfigurcd as PitZel's was, and then it was
to be given out that the man died of the
injuries and a trusted physician would
give certificate of death in accordance
with the facts told by the conspirators.
1t is supposed that Pitzcl had fellow
conspirators administer the chloroform, so
that he would not feel the pain of the
burns and that he was either given an
overdose and died from the effects or was
purposely killed while unconscious by his
treacherous friends.
Another theory is that Il man psembl-
ing Pitzcl was dacoycd to the room, chloro-
formed and killed, and his face disfigured
to render identification more difficult.
Another suspicious circumstance is that
Mrs. Pitzel, about IA month ago, visited
her parents in Illinois, and said nothing
about the death of her husband.
