To say that the city is deserted is. of

AS pigs increase in age it may be well
to increase slightly the proportion of
corn in order to make the eration a little
more carbonaceous toward the finish

Breed, feed, fatten and market the
hogs young, and turn off two crops a
year rather than one every two years,
as was the old custom. A good clover
field helps in this wonde rfully, and in it
the hogs will keep vigorous and healthy.

Climate and Crop Bullet tin.

The hot weather early in the week
was followed by general rain the 18th
and widely scattered showers in south
ern counties since then. In the mid
die west small area seems to have
had very little rain. South of the CEN
ter of the state the rains were locally
heavy, and south of the Minnesota val
ley, and eastward from Blue Earth and
farlbault counties, the rains are said
to have been very heavy, and accom-
panied by high winds, so that the
small grains were laid fat on the
ground over large areas, and in some
cases without the probability of their
rising sufficiently to fill we'll. In
northern counties the early sown
spring wheat is much better than the
later sown. The heat, moisture, lack
OF wind have been more favorable for
the growth of rust than in previous
weeks, and reports of some rust come
from nearly every direction. Notwith-
standing these drawbacks, the condi-
tion of wheat in, most of the state is
still very promising. Winter wheat is
being cut in southeastern counties.

who have had experience with fowls.
Especially is this true in regard to
roosting places, where one. diseased
fowl will communicate an infection to

A Suicide,

B. Claude Hinnant, assistant cashier
in the construction department of the
Northwestern Telephone company,
shot himself and several hours later
his body was found in the woods on
the southwest shore of Lake Harriet,
about ten yards from the boulevard,
and some 300 feet back from the shore.
A 3s-calibre revolver was found by his
side and bullet hole just below his
heart explained his death. When
found there was nothing which re-
vealed his identity. An old newspaper
was found in his pocket with fare
well note written on the margin. His
identity was not established, however,
until Mrs. Emma L. Hanna called at
the morgue and recognized the re-
mains, Hinnant having boarded at her

IDEAL POULTRY FOOD.
According to One Authority, Linseed
Meal Is the Greatest EgE
Producer KNOWN,

Mr.. F. L. Hooper, Baltimore, who
claims that linseed meal stands ahead
of all other foods, says that inseed
meal is to-day about the nearest per-
feet food for fowls that you will ever
obtain for egg production. 1t contains
the substances nearly similar to the
composition of the egg. Its nitrogen
Gus substance is large, with phosphates,
potash, lime and other mineral matter
in large supply, and if it was not for
the nuisance of poultry feeders and
writer's in advocating it's use in a small
quantity to help the fowls shed their
feathers most persons would think it
only a medicine for feather pushing,
and good for no other purpose. Make
use of liberal supply of this wonder
full egg producer, muscle grower, bone
maker, flesh former, health promoter
and digester (better than grit), and a
preventive of roup, indigestion and
many other disorders of TIE fowl fam
lily. Remember that linseed meal is
cooked food, and also the fact that you
cannot feed it separately, which is its
only drawback, because by using it sep
arately it gets clammy, or mucilagin-
Gus, and fowls fail to relish it, but it is
an excellent feed to mix up in the drink
ing water of the fowls, say, about gill
to the gallon of water. Three-fourths
of the production of oil cake made in
the United States is sold in Europe. Is
not this crying shame on the total ig-
norance of the American feeders in not
knowing its great value as an article
of food for stock of every kind? In
stead of making fowls shed their feath-
ers when fed regularly, it has an op-
posite tendency. The feathers seem to
get better hold, and the beauty of
plumage the birds get from feeding it
is special recommendation. It is q1es-
tionable if raw oystershell is a proper
food for lime. 1t is liable to produce a
caustic state, to some extent; it must
so act to become soluble lime. In this
state it would cause inflammation. Air
Stacked lime is preferable, because it is
soluble, and the carbonate of lime
would be in the exact state for the hens
to make use of it. Old plaster would
be still better, because it would supply
carbonate and sulphate of lime, the lat
ter containing some nitrogen, besides a
lot of grit, as most plaster contains
sharp sand. Linseed meal is cathartic.
Begin with teaspoonful per hen and
gradually increase to gill if neces-
sary, given every day.-Journal of Ag-
riculture.

GIVEN A MEDAL.

Wilhelm Lambert Cronius, justice of
the peace at Mount Gilead, Ohio, is a
native of Stockholm, Sweden. A few
weeks ago he paid visit to his native
city after an absence of thirty and
odd years and the incident was men
toned in newspaper. 1t was also
added that Mr.. Cronius had partici-
pated as a volunteer in the Danish
German war of 1864, and had distin-
guished himself in the Raab-Aaroe re-
connoitering expedition. This news
paper notice was repeated in Danish
newspapers, and the matter attracted
the attention of the minister of war.
An attempt to verify or discredit the
story brought out the fact that the de-
partment of war had awarded medal
to Mr.. Cronius as early as 1876, but
that no trace had been found of the
object of this honor. Mr.. Cronius,
proving his identity to the satisfaction
of the legation in Stockholm, had the
pleasure of receiving his deserved
token of brave deeds in early youth
the Danish war medal. 1t is safe to
say that this decoration is a scarce
article in Mount Gilead, the home of
Mr.. CrOniuS.
