Kafr Corn,


Experiments made at the Kansas
Experiment Station show that it will
pay many readers of this paper to raise
Kafir.corn who are not raising it now.
The average yield of grain on the Col
lege farm for the past eleven years has
been sufficient to produce an average
per year from an acre 487 pounds of
pork from Kafir.corn or 40 pounds of
pork from corn. The College farm is
upland.
For eleven years Kafr-corn has
yielded on the College farm sufficient
grain to produce per year 48 pounds
more beef per acre than corn.
Kair-corn is good grain for horses
doing heavy farm work. .
Kafir:corn grain and alfalfa hay made
the cheapest combination of feeds for
milk production. With these feeds,
the College produced from a scrub
herd, butter fat at a cost of ten cents
per pound for feed and at a cost of
seven cents from the best scrub COW.
Kafir.corn is the ideal grain to feed
calves raised on skim-milk. The meal
is constipating and overcomes the ten
dency of the skim-mllk to produce
scours. College calves fed Kafr-corn
grain and skim-milk gained nearly two
pounds day for six months,

RICE POISONING CASE.
BichlOride Of Mercury Tablets PuF-
chased by the Millionaire's Valet.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The police have
learned that the tablets of bichloride Of
mercury, prescribed by DR.. William T.
Bull as an antiseptic lotion at the time he
performed an operation for cancer on Mill
ionaire Rices face, were purchased by
Valet Jones at the drugstore of Charles
H. Whitesay, on Madison avenue. These
tablets are held to establish the connecting
link between Jones's statement that Law
yer Patrick gave Rice gray tablets and
the finding of bichloride of mercury in Mr..
Rice's organs under chemical analysis.
Mr. House, attorney for Patrick and
Jones. is still very much aroused over the
methods he alleges were used in getting
the confession from Jones. He said to-
day: Nothing definite can be done while
Jones is in the hospital. l will know more
about how this unfortunate victim of
cruel bounding was induced to make his
statement on Monday. 1 was to have Il
conference with him this morning when
he was to be returned to the Tombs, but
they will hardly permit him to leave The
hospital in such weather as this Patrick,
who read this alleged confession, says it's
a tissue Of vagaries. He laughs ~ IT, and
pronounces the statement that Jones saw
him murder old man Rice by placing a
towel over his face as characteristic Of the
visionary nature of the statement. Patrick
tells me that the police were after Jones
from the time he was locked up. He spoke
to Patrick about the way they badgered
him to turn up something against the law
yer. and they finally brought a friend
from Texas to worry him into making
statement. This man was simply a police
agent
Assistant District Attorney Osborne still
sticks to his opinion that some third per-
son had guilty knowledge Of the conspiracy
to get hold Of Mr. Rices wealth, though
he will not mention any names. The physi-
clans at the hospital say that the wound
in Jones's throat is almost healed. He could
go back to the Tombs Monday, but he will
be kept at the hospital until the district
attorney orders his removal.

usual allotment of funds TO pay the cam

ways come on Thursday Friday or Satur-
day of the week previous to an election,
and find the money ready for them at the
headquarters of the State committee. The
chairman of that committee, Frank Camp
bell, being Hill man, and merely a figure
head in the campaign, is compelled to send
applicants to Mr.. Croker, who, as chair
man of the finance committee, has all the
funds.
1.-The men who stood by Croker at the
Saratoga convention received their money
promptly, and as much as they expected.
The men who voted with Hill at that coz
home empty-handed. Mr.. Croker told sew
eral of them frankly his reasons for this
discrimination, and, with Sneer, suggest
ed that they go to Hill for money. TO
others he explained that Senator Murphy
had all the money, and had gone out of
town, advising them to stop at Troy on
their way home and see about ii This
pure sarcasm. because Mr.. Murphy
has not handled cent of the campaign
contributions, and everybody familiar with
New York politics knows it. Other appli-
cants were informed that the campaign
funds were exhausted. and that each coun-
ty committee must look out for itself
I'm no case, however. did Mr.. Croker
give money or satisfaction TO the rerre-
sentatives of counties which voted against
him at the State convention. If he eX
pected TO carry the State Mr.. Croker would
scarcely act this way. He would wait I'M
til after the election before visiting his
vengeance upon. the followers of Senator
Hill, but he seems to have entirely lost his
self-control, and is so unlike himself as
to excite anxious comments from people
at Democratic headquarters"
