Doty held on to her and cried for help.
The room was wrecked.
The noise made by the women In

WHERE is
Last Heard of ia Madison County-A
MysteriuOs Disappearance

The family and friends Of Joseph
Rogers a"e greatly exercised over his
disappearance and grave fears are en-
~tertained that he has met death in
some way.
Rogers is an Arabian pcddler. and
resided with his brother Sclim at No.
$40 east Park alley. 1t has been his
custom to make extended tours through
the state. and about two months ago
he left his home with a stock of goods
in a O~ne-hOrse wagon. intending to ped
die his wares in Madison county. He
carried with him about 5000 in cash.
which. with his stock valued at $500.
would make his outfit worth about $3.50.
He was hsard OF soon after reaching
the Madison County border and since
then all trace OF him has been lost. and
his friends have about concluded that
he is dead. says the inter- Mountain.
About a month ago word was receiv-
ed at the Arabian colony on Park
street that a man and hi, team were
drowned iii the Jefferson river Il few
days before and the sheritf's Office here
was requested to find out who the
party was, if possible. With this OBJ
ject in view Sheriff Reynolds wrote Il
letter TO Sheriff Haincs. Of Madison
county, but as Yet no reply has been re-
ceiVcd.
Selim Rogers, the brother of the
missing man. was one of seven Arab
iane who We're naturalized by Judge
Speer this morning. In speaking of
his brothers. mysterious disappearance
Selim seemed to think that the man
who was drowned was not his brother.
and hat the latter had probably met
with a worse fate. Another letter was
forwarded to Sheriff Haines to-day
urging him to investigate the case at
once and it is expected some light will
be thrown on the matter in the neal
future. Rogers has never remained
away from home so long before without
communicating with his friends. and it
would seem impossible for him TO
carry on his business without meeting
with some II who would recognize
him, as he was travelling over an Old
route. 1t may be that he has gone be-
You'd his proposed trip, and in this Con-
lecture his friends build their hopes
for his safe return. The circumstances
are certainly mysterious to say the
least.

Eouucy of Poor Breeding.

1t is said in Wisconsin not II colt
will be dropped this spring where ten
were dropped five years ago. The alb
Sence of foaIs is noticeable all over the
country. This state of affairs shows
that the shortage of horses will assert
itself in a year 0 r two. 1t should not,
however, induce a rush to breed horses
except without the exercise Of great
care and discretion. Farmers and
breeders are liable TO be misled and to
think the way to make money is TO
jump in and breed every mare on the
farm regardless of breeding, quality,
or style of purpose. II will pay right
now to breed all the good mares 10
good stations, but there will be no
profit in breeding scrub mares to cheap
stations. for the product will not pay
the expense of keep. This country has
many we'll bred stations that are now
standing at a low service fee, and
these are the ones to patroniZe. Mary

Live stock Notes.

Corn silage is one Of the best ana
cheapest Succulent foods for sheep.
Prof. Henry thinks there is nothing
better for young pigs and shoats than
oilmeal.
There is a growing demand for pure
bred stock. 1t is becoming a necessity
to success to have the best.
Tho Texas breeders are rapidly i'm
proving their grades. one OF them
lately gave an order for a bull costing
not less than 5000.
Last years the Ravarian government
paid out about $4,000 for animals
killed on account of disease>more
than five-SiXths OF il was for anthrax.
If YOU have to sell some of your
horses better let the Geldings 60, as
the mares will do as much work and
raise a colt besides.
A great many farmers who raise
colts don't seem to know, Saysa Wri-
ter, that it pays to feed colts well from
the beginning, and TO make them grow
as fast as possible. ,
If the dairy COW is inclined to lay on
fat easily. much more care must be
taken in compromising her ration than
for the one less disposed to fatten. A
fat COW is lot a desirable thing TO
have in a dairy herd.
Small breeds of hogs are most de
sirable when early maturity and the
cheapest meat are the ends to be ac-
conlplished. Many cattle breeders are
also breeding and working for early
maturity because it pays.
The farmer that is keeping and feed
ing COWS to make 10-cent butter is con-
Quoting a losing game. Nobody a
manufacture 10-cent butter without in
curing an actual loss. Better give
away your cows and sell your feed.
A stable filed with stock soon be-
comes contaminated with impure air
unless proper ventilation is provided.
Basement barns are too frequently
found with no ventilation at all, and
it is no wonder they are unhealthy.
The proper temperature for the sta
BILE in winter is about 90 degrees.
When above this bad odors and bad
air are likely to exist. The tempera-
lure may go below this considerably
and be all right if there are no drafts
through the stable.
The Austrian government has COM
planned to our state department that
disease has been found among Ameri
can horses imported from New York.
Secretary Olney, it ID announced, has
taken up the case and will make a
thorough investigation concerning the
of agrlCulture's inspection
at that port.
