tortured and Robbed.

SISTERSvTLLE, w. Va. April 5o.-Last
night Mrs. Shock, an aged woman living
at Anonis, was horribly tortured and
robbed by q negro and white man, who
forced an entrance into her house. The

also burned the hair from her head and
roasted one ear. The woman finally told
where her money was hidden. and the

woman will probably die.

GREEN BOMBS AND PROFIT.

The profit is>always sure when every
detail is correct. Cheap food must not
be estimated by the price paid for it in
the market. The cheapest food for the
poultryman OR farmer is that which
gives him the largest proportionate
number of eggs. It is the product by
which we should measure and estimate
Green bones are not used as exten
sively as they should be, says an ex
change, because grain can be obtained
with less difficulty and at a low cost,
but as egg producing material, the bone
is far superior to grain; nor does the
bone really cost more than grain in
some sections. The cutting of the bone
into available siz IS is now rendered an
easy matter, as the bone cutter is with
in reach of all. Bones fresh from the
butcher have more or less meat adher-
ing, and the more of such meat the bet
ter, as it will cost no more per pound
than the bone, while the combination
of both meat and bone is almost a per
feet food from which to produce egg.
If the farmer can get two extra eggs
per week from each hen in winter, he
will make large profit. If the hens
are consuming food and yet are pro
ducing no eggs, they will cause less
to their owner; and this happens every
winter on a large number of farms
The hens receive plenty of food, but
not of the proper kind.
A pound of cut green bone is sum
cient for sixteen hens one day, which
means that one cent will pay for the
bone for that number Of fowls. If one
quart of grain be fed at night to six
teen hens, and one pound Of bone in
the morning. it should be ample for
each day in winter. In summer only
the bone need be given. Such diet
provides fat, starch, nitrogen, phos-
pilates, lime and all the other substan-
ces required to enable the hens to lay
eggs.
The bone cutter is as ecessary to

EHE DAIRY.
The FAST CHURN FAKE.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
There are some questions that never
remain settled-never stay down.
Churning is one Of them. Time and
again has it been decided that rapid
churning is notdesir8ble. From twenty
to forty minutes is by the most adj
vanced dairymen considered not too
long a time to churn. Yet every once
in q while the three minute or five
minute churn bobs up either in the
hands of patent righ5 man or in the
Advertising columns Of agricultural

always be that way.
One does not feel right to be ever
lastingly writing on one subject, vet
there seems to be a need of it when ii
comes to churning.
Would it not be we'll for publishers
to refuse advertisements that are of b
fake characters The writer thinks it
would, and thinks those expatiating on
the merits Of the three and five minute
churns are within that class.
Is time 80 precious that five minute
churn is needed9 We think not Ib
has been demonstrated that too rapid
churning results in not getting all the
butter in the cream and in butter of e.
poor quality than when the proper
length of time is taken to churn.
Tnen again the so-called five minute
churns have floats or paddles inside.
That class of churn was discarded by
progressive dairymen twenty five
years ago. Let a farmer understand
this matter just as it is and he will not
be a good subject for patent churn
men" to tackle. But how is the farmer
to unC erstand it unless he reads-or
some one tells him-and how is he go
ing to read unless it is printed2 1t has
not been long time by any means
since a letter Of the writer's on this
same subject was printed, and it may
not be long after this appears in print
before another one on the same subject
will be in order, written either by him
or some one who can no longer keep
silent.
Beware of the five minute churn and
OF the seller Of it or patent on it.
