A MurderOuS Assault.

John Ciawson. of Kippen, was arrest
ed and bound over last Tuesday for an
assault upon an old man by the name Of
l.. w. Clark. II appears that Clawson
had jumped a reservation homestead and
Clark was hauling hay for the original
homestead entrymau which uceused
Clawson, and he refused aduiittance OF
Clark to the disputed premises will, the
load OF hay. After consulting the pnr.
chaser OF the hay Clark undertook 10
drive into the enclosure which Clawson
WAS then guarding with hammer in
hand. As the horses we're driven through
the gate Clawson struck one of them
over the nose with the hammer The
blow caused the horses to turn back aud
become uumanageahle so that Clark was
compelled to jump down froin the load
of hay to control his team While thus
engaged Clswson attacked Clark with the
hammer. delivering two or three blows
which felled the old man To the ground
and then followed up the attack after
Clark was down, and struck him three
times on the head with hammer. The
hat protected the man from the force of
two blows. and the third blow struck
Clerks hand. which he had raised 10 his
head. crushing one finger between the
hammer and the skull. Clark. though
badly bruised, fortunately was not Sc
riously injured. Clawson was bound
over to the district court. and he gave a
$1,000 bond for his appearance.

Served An Injunction.

An injunction was served this evening
upon the acting city treasurer by some OF
the business men of the city restraining
the treasurer from allowing the Quaker
fakir any rebate from the deposit Of $40
which he made for license to sell patent
medicines on the streets. The Quaker
fakir went before the city council and
mnddled that body into the consent that
he might draw down rebate of 81 day
for every day less than thirty that he APP
peared upon the street. After ten davs
OF public sale he gave notice that he
would retire. and he said he would call
for $50, or thereabont, which he claims
is due him from the city.
Some time ago the city passed an ordi-
nance prohibiting such sales for less
period than thirty days at 1900 dav.
The druggists claim the ordinance was
passed for their protection, and they will
claim the protection until the ordinance
is repealed. They went before Justice
Sweet to-day, and obtained the restrain
ing order. The plea is set up that as
long as that ordinance is in force no yer.
bal consent or even motion of the coun-
Gil can guilty its provisions.

1lllnois-red Texas Cattle:

A telegram to the Chicago Record
from Rockford, ILL.,, under a recent
date, said:
The sale by Warren Gilmore, a
farmer living four miles northwest OF
this city, of forty-one head of cattle
averaging 1851 pounds, after seven
months full feed, is part of the ex-
pertinent of the Illinois state live stock
board in dipping Texas cattle and ship
ping them to northern Illinois to fit
COR market. The younger cattle of that
shipment did not do we'll, but the
?-year-olds. which were placed on diff
9erent farms in this vicinity to the
number of 600 head, turned out fairly
we'll and were sold in the Chicago
market at the close of winter.
The test showed that the southern
cattle do not thrive as we'll during the
cold weather as the native cattle Of
this section. The herd which was fed
on into June by Mr.. Gilmore made a
good showing during the latter warm
months and made the best results OF
any OF the shipments. The cattle were
bought by Mr.. Gilmore Nov. II, the
average weight being 915 pounds. They
are said to be one of the finest lots
OF cattle marketed in this region this
year. They were high-grade Polled
Angus. Their average gain in the
seven months is 436 pounds. The test
TO show immunity from risk or south
ern fever in bringing them north was
success, but as to the feeding ex-
pertinent Mr.. Gilmore considers that
the native cattle are more profitable
when they can be had. He paid 81 per
lOO pounds for the entire bunch, and
after adding 436 pounds average weight
sold the lot at s4.S5 per 100 pounds.
Inc cattle required about ten bushels
OF corn per month besides rough feed.
Inc cost to feed per head was about
$3o, while the average net gain was
a little less than $29. On the face of
IT this shows a small loss on the trans
action, but Mr.. Gilmore estimates a
gain of about $500 on hogs feeding
after the cattle. The principal light
shed by this experiment is that feeder
cattle can be brought from Texas and
led up for market on northern Illinois
farms. 1t has been found to be a
perfectly safe operation under the pro-
visions made by the department of ag-
rlculture. The greatest difficulty ex-
perienced by feeders in this part of
the country is in getting good cattle
to feed. For that reason thew have
been looking in every direction. At
times there is almost famine of cat
tie suited to the demand because Of
the dearth in the supply of feeders.
There may be times when the relative
state of supply in Texas and in the
north will make the new plan COM
mercial success.

Exercising stations.

The proper exercise of stations max
ing season is all important, even
more important than the particular
kind of food they eat From a pam
pered stallion that is closely confined
to the stable, with no outdoor driving
riding or exercise, but small per cent
OF foals can be expected, and those
that do come will amount to but little.
Strength, vigor, power cannot be i'm
parted where it is not possessed, and
these qualities can only be secured by
healthy, strong exercise. In an article
in the Horseman, Mr.. L. V. D. Shep-
herd, an old experienced breeder, is
reported as saying that he once leased
stallion to a party for the season,
who was very particular in regard to
the animals diet, giving him hay, oats,
grass and mashes; but to keep him fat
and plump, gave him no exercise; the
result being that but a very small per-
centage of the mares got with foal
The next season he leased the horse
to another party, who fed him con-
tinually on nothing but dry hay and
hard corn on the cob, but gave him
plenty of work, and out of about one
hundred, mares got eighty-five with
foal. Here was one instance at least
where it showed pretty conclusively
the Importance of exercise. and that is
the predominant factor in developing
the functions of the provocative or
gans, as the mode of feeding in the
latter case was certainly not as con-
ducive to that result as that of the
former.

SQUAD Breeding.

In recent years squads are considered
such an appetjzing dish that they are
added to the bill-of-fare of all first
class hotels. although they are not al
ways mentioned as SQUADS being too
often served up to their customers as
quail. writes G. A. Bell in the Poultry
Tribune. The breeding of squads for
market can be conducted by farmers
or by the gentler sex, and made q
source of great profit, provided it is
handled properly. First consider the
cracks are stopped up and nest boxes
loft-an Ole barn will do if all the
put in. Second. the breeding stock,
which is an important item. No bird
has been found to answer this purpose
as we'll as the homing pigeon. especial
ly the White Homer, as white flesh is
what the consumer wants. If White
Homers cannot be gotten, the next best
color is silver Or light blue. 1t is i'm
portant to be careful to select pure
bred homers, as they give the best re-
suits. The care and cost of breeding
is very small in comparison to the
profits. They must be kept clean,
boxes and other fixtures to be white
washed, and good supply of gravel
and fresh drinking water and a small,
shallow pan for bathing.
Squads grow very rapidly. and in
three or four weeks they are ready to
kill. Squads of good breeds will aver
age six pounds to the dozen, and they
sell for 40 and SO cents per pound,
wholesale. The cost to establish loft
to accommodate 500 pairs, complete.
birds and everything would be about
$3.50. On every farm there are one or
two who could be spared for an hour
a day to look after the pigeons. There
is also great deal Of grain wasted
that might be helping the farmer to
pay of mortgage or some other debt
II it is just used in the right way.
Every well regulated farm should have
a loft for pigeons, with large aviary
made Of wire to keep them from the
fields.

Feeding Skimmilk.

A correspondent Of Dairy and
Creamery writes that paper as follows:
I have had considerable experience,
extending over several years, in feed
ing separator skimmilk to farm stock,
and thought possibly 1 might give
some facts from my experience that
would be of interest to your readers.
When feeding skimmilk to milk COWS
it does much to build up heifer; for
an old COW it was not so beneficial.
Many of the latter would not touch it,
while the young ones were so eager to
get it that they were constantly on
the watch for every pint of milk left
within their reach. They seemed to
crave milk as an old topper Graves
whisky.
They would drink too much if al
lowed to get at it. From two to four
gallons fed once a day while warm,
was the way we thought best. We
never had any trouble from bloating.
The milk agreed with them and SEEM
ed to be nourishing and an appetizer.
Small pigs thrive on it best and the
half grown ones do very we'll. Full
grown pigs do only fairly we'll and
need a laxative. The sweet milk in
warm weather made plump, f1abby fat
for time, but corn meal was needed,
and in cooler weather some oil cake
also. Sour milk is less fattening than
sweet, though less binding.
CHI h.
sweet milk, in even lots, three times
daily for the first three or four months.
with some corn, oats and flaxseed meal
and grass or hay. In cold weather
more corn meal is needed unless the
stable is very warm. Cold and sour
milk is injurious to a young calf, and
very poor feed for older ones. Warm
or sweet milk seems to give chickens
the diarrhea. Thick sour milk is bet
ter and soft smearkase best, For
turkeys, moist smearkase, not too wet.
is good feed, especially for the young
fowls.
Used as a COW feed, my observation
is that the younger the animal the
greater the benefit from skimmilk
When we remember that it is primar-
lily the Calls natural food, the fact is
all the more forcible. The skimmilk
has large manurial value, but unless
special arrangements are made it is
apt to be wasted. The hog pen must
be rooted and floored at considerable
expense. When hogs are kept in a
yard (where they thrive besD the ma
nure cannot be saved. When fed ia
dry cows the skimmilk seems to cause
caked udder and tendency to garget
when fresh.
The Oleo Combine.-The butterine
factories are now in trust, also. or
at least the greater number of them.
The butterine trust has advanced the
price of this table delicacy until it has
reached figure that threatens to nut
it out of the reach Of the poor alto
gether. It has been advanced in price
with such steady and regular move
ment that before long none but the
rich will be able to keep it on their
tables. The poor will have to 60 back
to poor butter or eat dry bread IL the
price goes much higher.-Chicago Tri-
bune.
