An Insane Kansas Man.

Wichita, Dec. 24.-John Lipgay,
farmer living near Goddard, this
county, who went violently insane last
week, and drove his family from home,
was captured yesterday after having
stood the officers off for five days. He
was barricaded in his house, and shot
at every man he saw, keeping the
neighborhood in terror. The first
sheriff's posse that left here was unable
to do anything. Yesterday, however,
Lipgay's oldest daughter became des-
perate, and went to the house with
some food for him. The officers tried
to prevail on her not to incur the dam
ger. The insane man was ravenously
hungry. When he saw that his daugh-
ter had food, he permitted her to ap-
proach. When he put his Winchester
down to eat, the girl garbbed it, and
then the sheriff's posse rushed in from
the orchard and overpowered him.

A Word About Feed.

Winter will find many farmers with
fair supply of feed for their stock,
but in many instances this will be very
largely of one kind, such as corn and
fodder, which will make the ration
too broad if fed as the principal food of
the COWS, and others have oats, peas
and possibly ver-hay in excess, with
out proper proportion of starchy
foods to go with them. Animals will
live on few varieties, even if the food
elements in them may be broad, or mar
row, but it costs too much to burn
protein for fuel, or make energy out
of starch, or the carbohydrates. Glover
hay fed alone comes quite near being
balanced ration, as the proportion of
starch to protein is a little over to 1,
while with corn fodder it is not far
from 10 to 1. Now as COW needs not
far from two and a half pounds of
protein a day, she must consume full
100 pounds of corn fodder day to get
it, and would get twice too much
starch, which is first impossible for the
COW to do, and second to digest if pos
sible To get full ration out of the
clover hay, she must eat fully thirty
five to forty pounds in twenty-four
hours, which is too much tax upon the
system, so it is matter of economy
for the farmer to give part at least
of this protein in the form of pound
or so of oil meal day, few pounds of
bran or gluten meal. Where one
is feeding silage, if an addition is
made to it of ten pounds of clover-hay
and five pounds of bran and two
pounds of oil meal, we have pretty
we'll balanced ration, or if silage is
out of the question, then what bright
corn fodder the COW will eat up clean
answers-in a way-the demand, and
then the COW is being economically fed,
provided this cow is being not COM
PEELED to use up the most of this ration
to protect herself, to Withstand un-
needed, and worse, unnecessary ex-
posure. A ration we'll fed to we'll
housed animals is 33 per cent.

THEFARM AND GARDEN
How to Guard Against Fruit
and Tree Pests.
WARNING FROM WASHINGTON
Farmers Have a Fair Supply of Winter
Feed = Requisite in Storing
Sweet Potatoes.

J. F. Coass, inspector of the WASH
ington State Board of Horticulture,
writing of guarding against fruit pests,
says:
For the purpose of preventing the
incoming and dissemination of injuri-
GUS insect pests, our state laws require
the utmost care on the part Of those
bringing into the state and dealing in
nursery stock or fruit that may be in
tested. Our laws in this regard are
deemed by many to be unduly strin-
gent, and heretofore the state board of
horticulture has been very lenient and
slow in carrying out its provisions.
But it is agreed by all that more care
fulness must be observed by dealers,
especially in fruit brought in from our
adjoining states known to be badly in
tested with Goblin moth and San. Jose
scale, two of the most injurious and
worst insect enemies of our fruit inter-
ests.
As yet our state, west of the Cas-
cades, has been comparatively free
from these pests. just at present the
fiat has gone forth that no more apples
containing the larvae of the Goblin
moth will be allowed to be sold in
Portland, Or, and it is feared that
much of such infested fruit will be
shipped over to the Sound cities. Our
dealers should therefore exercise the
greatest caution in handling fruit from
our sister state, as our board is de-
termined that we shall not be made
the dumping ground for such ship
ments. "A word to the wise," etc.
All nursery stock brought into our
state should be inspected before dis
posal or dissemination. A lack of
knowledge of the requirements of our
laws on this point seems to be common.
In. every case parties in receipt of nur-
sery stock should notify the inspector
of the district, who will give all neces-
sary information, etc.

British Views.

London, Dec. 24.-Commenting upon
the Venezuelan question the newspa-
pers generally agree that the situation
is more serious than they thought it
yesterday. In the public mind, also,
there is a general feeling of dissp-
pointment at the action of congress.
The stock exchange here and ex-
changes throughout the country con-
tinue under the influence of the diff
Guilty. At the same time, there is no
excitement.
Pail Mall Gazette's money article
says: "Of course, whatever happens,
America will lose credit over the affair.
It is particularly inopportune, when
many of her railways need money"
The Globe, newspaper supposed to
be on terms of intimacy with the gov
ernment, gives warning that Great
Britain will remain firm, saying:
President Cleveland may appoint
dozen commissioners, but England will
remain firm in her refusal to recognize
them, and jurisdiction of this sort.
This is our unalterable position, be
the consequences what they may. We
will never submit to such unparalleled
dictation.
The Globe is also irate at the recent
utterances of DIR. Chauncey M. Depew,
especially his references to the easy
manner in which the United States
could conquer Canada, remarking:
''The overwhelming naval strength of
England, would enable her to pour
troops into Canada at any sight of dan
ger. Small warships could be sent to
the lakes, and Chicago, Detroit and
Buffalo, would be utterly at their

The Feeling in Argentina.

New York, Dec. PA dispatch to
the Herald from Buneos Ayres says:
The general topic of discussion here in
official and business circles is the ener-
getic message of President Cleveland
on the Venezuelan boundary question.
Outside of the English colony, who re-
gard the message as mere threat, the
reception of its Interpretation of the
Monroe doctrine is enthusiastic. Gen
eral Mitre says that he has always been
in hearty accord with the principles
enunciated in the doctrine and that he
can say that the same view is held by
the acting president of Argentina, Gen.
eral Roca.
The Nacion says that the support of
all South American republics should
be given to the United States.
La Prensau says that the United
States having formally and firmly
declared her intention in regard to Eu-
ropean intervention ON the American
continent, South America should ex-
press it's full sympathy with the great
republic.

Other Powers Say.

New York, Dec. 24.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Valparaiso says: Chile,
which is thoroughly conservative in
its policy as a republic is greatly in
clined to hold the views of Great Brit
ain on the Venezuelan question. It
is thought that the British government
has nothing to fear as to the outcome
Of the dispute. Leading men in all
circles here sharply criticise the inter-
probation put upon the Monroe doctrine
by the United States.

Thanks the President.

New York, Dec. pa dispatch
from Caracas says: In an interview
on President Cleveland's message
President Crespo said he was preparing
a personal letter of thanks to President
Cleveland. He added:
1.-THE attitude of Venezuela and of
her executive head upon the boundary
question in Guiana will always be one
of self protection. The republic will
uphold rights that properly may be re-
garded as hers at all hazards. Presi-
dent Cleveland and myself were both as
one in losing and in regaining power,
and certainly it seems as if we were
one in destiny and action.
