Ensiiage For Hogs.

After numerous experiments in feed
ing silage to hogs, the Virginia sta
ton finds that its use as an exclusive
swine ration is not to be commended.
The hogs did not gain as rapidly as on
A corn ration. SO far as the cost of
food is concerned, il thirty-fve cents
is allowed for o bushel OF ear corn
THE price il sold for during the test)
and SO per ton for silage, it may be
seen that the latter cost only about
two.thirds as much for the seven
weeks as the corn, and this would go
long way toward making up the diff.
ference in loss of flesh. When fed
with corn the results were more salts
factory. Giving the above values to
the feeds, n saving of nearly e-third
in cost is effected. The station con-
cludes that as hog feed silage can be
economically combined with corn as a
maintenance ration, but it is not de-
sirabe when used alone. In feeding
the silage it was found best to throw
il directly on the ground, for If placed
in troughs much of it was thrown out,
as the hogs sought for pieces Of corn,
and being in confined place the finer
parts were trampled under foot in,a
very short time. If spread about over
the soil they were kept busy picking

ApnnItrx Culture Tr uism.

Never forget this in poultry culture;
The pullet that commences to lay
earliest in life is the one to lay the
largest number OF eggs throug h life,
as cattle that have the milk-producing
organs active early make the best COWS.
Select the ast.growing, early matur.
ing specimens that present the full
type and size found in the breed; and
use only these as breeders, and the
egg producing merits will be in
creased. We have reported the Won
derful product in single specimens,
which can be made true to a flock.
But il ia care and attention to the flock
that finds and secures these merits in
the progeny. Neglect and haphazard
breeding never pays.

"Dum dun" is the curious name Of
. new bullet Of which the British Gov
eminent has been making test. Ex-
periments would seem to justify the
title; for this small.arm missile pro-
duces a wound which is more fatal and
terrible than the old bullet Of slower
velocity. A bullet that makes larger
exit than entrance, even after wreak-
ing havoc within, would certainly
strike soldier dumb dumb. In
America has recently been invented,
however, a secret solution by which
leaden bullets may be coated so as to
render them superior to steel-cased
bullets. At q distance of thirty yards

Robert Fitzsimmons, champion pugil-
-istai "a xaxla I'D SsRsa. -

again battle and decide the question for
all time.
For the first time Mrs. Fitzsimmons
has given expression to her thoughts
in the matter since the affair at Carson
City last March.
Before the contest last March, Fitz-
simmons promised his wife that he
would never enter the ring again with
out her consent. While Mrs. Fitz-
simmons does not come out openly
and say there will be another battle,
it can be readily seen that she is not
anxious to put block in the way Of
her husband as regards his future
plans.

Fall Pruning OF Grapevincs.

For many reasons the heavy annual
pruning which is q necessity for the
grapevine had best be given in the
fall. SO soon as the leaves are of, the
cutting away OF superhuous wood may
remain. There can be no bleeding, as
the cut will dry up at once. There is
some circulation of sap all through the
vine during warm weather in winter.
Pruning in the fall concentrates this
sap in the buds that are left, and they
always push more vigorously than
when the vines are left dangling on
the trellises oil winter. As soon as
the pruning is done, the support of
the main vine should be loosened,
and it should be thrown on the ground.
In most cases snow will be enough
protection, but il the vine is where the
snow blows away, some straw held
down by slight covering of earth will
be needed. Vines thus treated will
winter without injury, however low
the mercury may fall. The vines
should be put up on the trellis in
spring so soon as danger from late
frosts has passed. II the vines are
uncovered except by snow, put them
up as soon as the snow melts. Lying
on the ground and protected from
winds. the buds might push too early
and be injured. They are not liable
to this on the trellis. -American Cul.

BAD FOR ANNEXATION.
Ex-senator Dubois Declares Haw.iians
Are Against 1t.


Are Against II.
Former Senator Dubois, who has
just reached home, after and extended
visit to Japan, China and Hawaii, says
the United States will not annex
these islands against the bitter oppo-
sition of the natives.
He says there are no less than | 200
male Americans on the island over
twenty-one years of age, aud nearly
half Of them are opposed TO annexa-
ton, while nearly oil the balance Of
the population are against it. Said
Mr.. Dubois:
Nothing but the support of the
United States government keeps the
present oligarchy, misnamed repub-
lie, in power. They could not sustain
themselves day il the United States
should withdraw its support, 1t will
require a large armed force constantly
to maintain any government the United
States may establish there. The ma
tives will never consent to the de-
struction of their national life."

WHOLESALE TNCHISG REPORTED



As the Aftermst, of the brown Family
Assssinasion.
Later dispatcbs from Wesson, Miss,
state that paft who left the scene OF
the murder Of y Smith family at 2
o'clock Saturday afternoon and had
just reached Weson says mob OF
1000 men forme and that whole
sale lynching WI taking place in that
neighborhood al he time he left.
Additional detils of the murder Of
Mrs. Brown Smith and her four chill
dren and the subequent lynching Of
the supposed muderer we're received
during the day.
After capturing Charley Lewis, the
alleged murderer, the mob placed him
alongside OF sevenl other negroes and
asked the little girl, who was spared
by the murderer, TO pick out the one
who killed her m,ther. She at once
pointed TO Charlie, Lewis. This strong
evidence TO the mob made ii difficult
for Sheriff Case, Of Monticello, to
induce the people TO turn Lewis over
to him for safe k,eping He assured
them he would nave the Negro at
Bankston Ferry Friday morning for
trial.
As promised, lie arrived there on
time with Lewis, and another mob OF
two hundred mel armed with shot
guns and winchesers met him on the
opposite bank Of khe river. Speeches
we're made by til. cool-headed men,
among them being Hon. A. f. Wealth
ersby, senator from Lawrence county,
and Rev. Drumnonds, Methodist
preacher, who pleaded eloquently for
the negro's life. The mob for time
was quoted and an attempt was made
to hold an improvised court.
After parleying for some time, the
mob, under the leadership OF a few
determined men, made rush for the
negro and succeeded in getting him
from the deputies after a hard struggle.
They then put plow line around the
negro's neck and ran up the street
with him. He was put on big horse
and driven under q tree. After that
the rope was made fast to a limb and
the horse was driven from under him.
His feet touched the ground, but he
was strangling, and Mr.. Arlington,
one of the lawyers, and another man
cut him down. He could not speak.
The crowd allowed him to be revived
and then hung him in earnest.
A report that the negro committed
the murder at the instigation of Smith,
which has gained currency, is discred-
tied by his neighbors, but the facts
and circumstances connected with the
affair will all be sifted to the bottom.
The three negroes arrested in the
Monticello neighborhood in coniunc-
ton with Charley Lewis, the negro
lynched for the quintuple butchery OF
the Smith family, were, after q long
triak declared not guilty, but given

A long, leggy fowl is usually Of
coarse bone and contains q greater
nroportion OF offal than one compactly
buiit. There are some breeds that are
naturally tall, but there are also indi-
y,duals among them more compact
than the others, and they are the ones
that should be selected as breeders,
provided they are good in other
respects. A vigorous, compact male
should always be given the preference.
