which he makes his annual output Of

Eight Deaths from Drinking Wood
Alcohol,

Alcohol.
A Des Moines dispatch announces
the funeral of Mrs. Maggie Neal, from
the home of her father, j. d. Davis, in
Capital park.
This adds another victim to the roll
Of fatalities of those who recently par
took of wood alcohol at picnic near
Mingo, Jasper county.
Mrs. Neal, with her husband, resided
in Mingo, and is understood to have
been one of party who attended the
picnic some time since in the vicinity
of the town. It is said that eight of
the crowd in attendance upon that oc-
casion are now dead, while four are
very low and may not recover, one Of
them being the husband of Mrs. Neal.
1t is reported that the cause of death in
each case was the poisonous effect Of
wood alcohol, which the parties drank,
being unable to procure any other
stimulant and being ignorant of the
deadly effect upon the human system.
The matter has been kept very quiet
1t is supposed that no one in the party
had any idea of the difference in slco.
hol and that the poison was procured
and used in preparing drink. :

About Mixers

SSA@SsAsNsAoAAsj
1t seems to be an art that is easily
learned, but we have long ago come to
the conclusion that first-class mixers,
like poets, are born, not made. A great
many qualities 60 into the combination
patience, kindness, pride in the
animals under their care, and, above all,
an art of manipulation that no dexter
ity can convey. Old DIR. Fambrough
used to say that good mixers are born
with the rudiments of special muscle in
their hands.
Yet it seems possible for white man
to acquire the art sufficiently to become
fair mixer. Why do white men fight
shy of business in which they may
easily make themselves Indispensable ?
The Northern men who come south to
do such work are usually those who
cannot get job at home, and are, con-
sequently, failures when they under
take such work here.
The truth is, good mixers are rare,
even at the north, and various inven-
tions have been made. to overcome the
difficulty. Their name is legion, but
the most successful is the milking tube.
1t is also the most exssperating. The
truth is that next to hungry calf, moth
thing can strip q cow as clean of
milk as a good mixer. We doubt
most capitally whether in all the
United States there are to be found
100 first-class milkers-men or women
who can prevent an average COW from
going dry between calves, no matter how
extended the interval. We have never
seen but one mixer, who didn't know
how to dry a COW up, or who would re-
fuse to undertake the job.
On the other hand, we have known
many who could take the finest COW In
the world and dry her up in two
months. We have seen Q ave-gsllon
