The Marblehead's Timely Arrival.

Peoria, ILL.,, June "a private let
ter received in this city from Beyrout,
Syria, under the date of May 7, con-
tains the following important state
ment:
The two United States men of-war
that came here created quite stir.
Only one, the Marblehead, came to
Beyrout, but she met the San Fran
cisco at Alexandria and the admiral on
board the San Francisco sent for the
Turkish Pasha to come down from
Adana to Mersine to meet him, and
gave him very plain talking to about
showing proper respect for American
citizens. Admiral Kirkland is big,
bluff, old fellow, just the one to bull
doze the Turks, and he did it in style.
The Turks have been quite nasty up
there of late.
A great impression was created in
Beyrout, too. People here had fears
of a massacre by the Moslems, and
thought the arrival of the frigate pre-
vented it.

WHOLESALE LYNCHlNG.
Three Negroes Killed and a Fourth
Terribly Beaten.

Terribly Beaten.
Burlow, Fla, June 3. - Tuesday
night Mrs Timberlake, young widow
who lives with her father in the west
ern portion of this county, was assault
ed by negro while in bed with her
little daughter. -Four negroes were
arrested for the crime. Last night they
were taken from the guards while en-
route to this place to be jailed, by fifty
men who wore black masks and carried
Winchesters. The masked men disap-
peared with the four negroes into a
swamp, where three of them were kill
ed and the fourth almost beaten to
death and odered to leave the country.
The crime for which the negroes
were lynched was peculiarly brutal
one. About 1 o'clock Tuesday Mrs.
Timberlake was awakened by a noise
in her room. She reached for the
matches, which were on table near
the bed, and as she arose negro
grasped her by the throat. In the
struggle her night clothing was torn to
shreds, and her lower limbs and
breasts frightfully bruised. The negro
kept his hand tightly clasped on the
woman's throat, and she soon lost con-
sciOusness.
About this time Mrs. Timberlake's
little daughter, who was sleeping with
her awoke and began to cry out,
Mamma, mamma" as if she had an
inkling that something was wrong.
Mr.. Pipkin, the father of Mrs. Timber
lake, whose room adjoined his daugh-
ter's was aroused by the crying of the
child. He called to his daughter, but
received no reply. Alarmed by the
silence he rushed to the door to find it
locked. He burst it in, and as he en-
tered the room he saw the negro crawl
ing out of the window from which he
had entered.
Mr.. Pipkin struck light and saw
Mrs. Timberlake in frightful condi-
ton. She was nude and lying In
blood which had flowed from wounds
inflicted by her assailant. The little
girl, who had crawled upon the uncon-
scious form of her mother, was crying
and was smeared with blood. Soon
Mrs. Timberlake revived and told the
story of the assault.
Officers were notified and the search
for the negro was begun. A rain had
just fallen, and it was easy to track the
brute. All day trail was followed,
and late in the afternoon it led to a
cabin in which were found four ne
groes. They were arrested, and the
guards started to this place with them.
When the guards reached lonely por-
ton of the road, masked men surround
ed them, and at the muzzles OF Win
chesters ordered the negroes turned
over to them. The guards were out
numbered ten to one and complied.
The masked men then disappeared
with them into the woods, where three
of them were killed and the fourth
beaten nearly to death. Not a mem
Der of the mob Is known, and the de-
tails of the killing is not obtainable.
The negro who was beaten has been
heard from in the western part Of the
country trying to make his way out.
He is terribly frightened, and refuses
to talk about what happened to his
companions, saying the lynchers swore
they would kill him if they ever heard
of his talking.

driving through the counties. The
cattlemen are well organized and de-

AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
HERE'S A GOOD IDEA.

ret Farmers to Ride Wheels and the Road
Question Is Settled.
1t is a typical American scene: The
harvest time that is now under full
Roadway in most of the states of the
union has its spare moments for the
thrifty farmer, though it is very busy
season. But even in these spare mo-
nents the agriculturist is busy with
lis thoughts. The roadmaking is over
''for now" On one side of this primi-
i've highway great, rough ridges of
sod and clay have been p1owed out of
the bottom of the roadside ditch and
scraped up to make the road The
farmers cattle often coming home that
way know better than to walk in
these heaps while the other side of the
road is smooth. So does the country
swain riding home from meeting or
countryside dance with his best girl.
So does every body. How, then, are
those rough ways to be made plain?
But just wait. The farmer looks in
nocent enough; and to judge by his
roadmaking, you wouldn't think he
knew much. These transfers and the
general public may think they can
travel these highways for nothing, and
that they have what city folks call
''cinch" on the downtrodden son of the
soil. AS soon as harvest time is over that
other side of the road will be heaped up

IMPROVED RATiONS.
Result of Valuable Experiments at tn
MassaSAusetts Station.

Result of Valuable Experiments at the
Massachusetts, Station.
The American Dairyman summarizes
experiments of the Massachusetts, sta
ton in regard to dairy rations- 1t
says that the ration fed by many Mass
achusetts farmers as given by the re-
port consists of $50 pounds of wheat
bran, the same quantity of corn meal,
four pounds corn slower and 43- so
pounds corn ensilage. The nutritive
ratio of such ration is LILO and its
cost SO cents, while 5.S4 cents is ac-
corded to it as it's material value, max
ing the net cost 9.15 cents. The total
milk yield of six cows for Il days on
this ration was 1861 quarts, at to-
tai cost of l.66 cents per quart. while
the net cost per quart was LOG cents.
The amount of butter fat in this guam
tity of milk was 67.31 pounds and its
cost per pound was 1867 cents The
ration recommended by the station to
take the place of the one just noted.
which it may be stated contains only
40 pounds of digestib1e protein, con-
sists of three pounds of wheat bran,
three pounds of Buffalo gluten feed,
tuIcc pOuuOS COttOuSGcu lucd1, 1OuI
pounds corn slower and 42.7s pounds
ensilage. This ration contains 2.60
pounds of digestible protein, and its
nutritive ratio is Las Its total cost is
1895 cents, which is reduced to
7.46 cents as the net cost, be-
cause it gives richer manure, and
this is credited at $40 cents. In the
returns of six cows fed this ration for
"a days, they are credited with $3.50
quarts of milk at a gross cost of 1.60
cents per quart, and the net cost OFT
cent per quart. The quantity of but
ter fat obtained from the milk in this
instance was 81. II pounds at a cost of
16. 80 cents per pound. The point about
this experiment. is that the same cows
were used in both trials for CORE
spending periods of time. and it is
within the limits of reason able conjec-
ture that the result of the second ra-
ton would have been greater if some
part of it was not diverted to repair
the physical waste due to the poor
nourishment present in the first ration.
Some of the things gained in using the
second ration was an increase of 81
quarts of milk over the quantity OBJ
tainab1e by the first one and the aggre-
gate yield was produced at less cost
Again, the increase of butter fat with
the better ration is 1880 pounds and
the cost of production is decreased PSI
cents per pound as contrasted with the
same item in the account of the first
ration. Another point that should not
be overlooked is that the ration that
furnished the best returns actually
cost less to feed. In other words, de-
creased cost of production furnished a
richer ration that produced a larger
yield of milk, that was of higher quail
ity

Gowns That Look Cool.

The saying, appearances often de-
.eive." is platitude which applies to
dress more than any other branch of
art, and in this connection it is the de-
ceiver herself who is often most de-
ceived. A dress that looks cool to those
outside it usually feels cool to the
woman inside it. This is why dotted
Swiss and grass cloth are worn so much
this summer. AS a matter of fact, dot
ted Swiss is not a bit cooler than
batiste, but it looks more SO, and that
settles the question. Plain white dotted
Swiss has been worn SO much that it
was growing monotonous, and it is
now so varied that one does not
recognize all. the varieties at first
glance. 1t comes in colors. pink. blue.
ecru. etc. Other varieties have plain
white grounds, with piul. or blue or
yellow dots A new kind of grass
cloth is on the market. 1t has dots
like dotted Swiss and is a great favor
lite because it combines the beauties of
two favorite dress materials-crass
cloth and dotted Swiss. Cross-barred
dotted Swiss is another innovation.
The cross bars are usually of some
terra Gotta or dali red shade and the
material is much used for shirt waists.
A stylish combination for a shirt waist
is dotted Swiss and white linen collar
and cuffs.-WashiDgton Times.

A Word ABOUT straIninr Milk.

Straining should begin before COM
mencing to milk, by brushing off all
the dirt, hair, straw, etc, from the
udder, teats and BODY of the cow. Let
it be the duty of some one person to
go over all the cows with soft brush
or a damp cloth before the cows are
MIXED. An ordinary wire sieve
strainer does very we'll, but we add to
this by doubling cheesecloth or thin
cotton SO as to have it four thicknesses.
Lay the cloth across the bottom of the
strainer and then fasten it on by means
of tin ring which slips over the cloth
and bottom part of the strainer. For
quickness we use a strainer that pail
Of milk may be put into at once. This
sets in a wooden frame over the can.
Some use a wooden cloth to strain
with Cloth of some kind is necessary
to catch hairs and fine dirt. This cloth
must be kept clean. Scald it thorough
ly each time after using.-Ontario Ex-
detrimental Farm.

SO much higher and rougher that the
wayfayer, or he who's a-horseback
or in a vehicle. will be glad to take the
side he now despises- The teamster
with a thousand of brick viii help to
make one or t'other of these sides
smooth before fall. If not, the COM
minuting and pulverizing qualities of
Jack Frost. or good covering of snow,
may fix things before next spring.
Now such horrid slipshod business is
not at all characteristic of this farmer
on the farm. Ifyou go and look, you will
find that he has all the latest improved
farm machinery. good horses, blooded
cattle and sheep, and is in general a
rather go-ahead sort of man-al-
ways excepting that awful road in
front of his place. When he ''gets
around to it, am sure he will see that
this cry for good roads is not all in the
interest of those bicycle people. Any
how, what is the matter with the agri-
culturist getting wheel for himself?

LOOKS BEFORE MERIT.

Importance of Care in Sorting and Mar
ketIng Garden Crops.
1t costs no more to raise good fruits
and vegetables than it does poor. The
expenses of gathering. packing and
shipping and marketing are precisely
the same on the different grades. But
the returns are wonderfully different,
and, we take it, the farmer is in the
business for these very returns Why
not then get the most out of them?
The only thing which makes the differ
ence between the good and the poor is
care, but this selfsame care must be
scrupulously exercised from beginning
to end. From the proper preparation
of the ground for the plants right
through to the shipping of the crop,
every detail must be attended to; the
neglect of single one may render all
the others futile. 1t will not pay to
expend all the energy on raising good
crops only to gather and ship them in
a slipshod fashion. OF the two evils
it is better to err in the other diree-
tons, for careful sorting and neat
packing will do much towards selling
an Indifferent article, all things being
judged first by their appearance and
then by their taste. Looks come before
merit in all cases.
When these are combined, as they
always should be. then the big profits
come in, for fancy articles bring fancy
prices. Too many farmers fail to real
ize this. They save their labor by fail
ing to assert their crops according to
size and quality, or economic in the
wrong direction, as when they use an
old soiled package, thereby disgusting
a wou1d-be purchaser and rendering
him suspicious of the fruit which a
clean new package would have set off
and rendered tempting and attractive
All such saving. whether of labor or
money, is false economy, and results
in loss to the seller.-N. Y. World.

FOR FEEDING CALVES.

A Continuance That Saves Considerable
Time rs Well Feed.
A trough fastened into a pen is not
desira BILE for feeding calves. as it cam
not be as thoroughly scalded out as it
should be. Moreover, pouring milk
into any receptacle in pen in which
there is calf is hazardous business,
the operation usually resulting in
spilled milk. An arrangement with a
feeding pail is shown in the illustra-
ton. The back board is hinged to the
front of the pen on the side marked a.
The pail can thus be set into the
holder on the outside of the pen and
the holder swung quarter of the way
round and hooked, thus bringing the
pail inside the pen. When removed a
button keeps the calf from getting his
