A remarkable case 10 that of the
death Of Casplr Friedler, q native OF
Bavaria, who died during Monday night
at the boarding house conducted by
Mrs. Maggie Burk, at the corner Of
Twenty-fourth and Main streets, South
Side. Although attacked continuously,
Friedler declined to have a physician
called 10 his assistance. It is supposed
that he was attacked by spell OF
coughing during the night, and choked
to death.
Frledler came to Wheeling this
month from Pittsburgh, ard secured
employment at the Honmann tannery
on the South Side. He secured room
and board at Mrs. Burks place. Last
Wednesday he became sick, and was
confined 10 his room. but as stated, de-
lined to invoke medical aid. Yester-
day morning. about $50 o'clock, Mrs.
Burk went to Friedlers room, and ask
ed II he desired anything. The man
was lying outstretched on the bed, and
made no reply. Again at II o'clock
Mrs Burk repeated her question, and
upon receiving no reply her suspicious
were aroused. Investigation showed
that the man was dead.
Coroner Schultze was notified. and
made an investigation. His opinion
Is that the man chuked to death dur
ing Monday night. From papers found
in his room, Friedler was naturalIzed at
Pittsburgh, In 1893; he was native Of
Bavaria. Since coming to Wheeling he
has attended the ST. Alphonsus Catholic
church. So far as can be learned he
has no relatives In America. The bur-
ial Will likely be at the county's ex-
pense.

Selling Hay.


We have heard of II man who thought
he was making money by selling his
grass standing or hiring it cut and SELL
ing the hay. He had what is often
called IL natural grass farm, moist
enough to insure IL pretty good crop
every year, when in fair condition. Tor
many years he had run it as a dairy
farm, keeping considerable stock, and
manuring his fields heavily. AT last
old age and IL %well-carned competence
decided him to leave the farm, and in
stead of renting it out for some one
Hl:;e 70 skin Off what he had put on tie
land, lie put it all in grass. Then ne
sold grass or hay as seemed best at the
thin they were given II very liberal
dressing of commercial fertilizer. He
said he received more than the. fer
tilizer cost, enough to enable him to lay
Up more money than he could when
working the farm. How long he would
be able to do this we do not know, but
we think the soil would soon begin to
show a lack of humus or some other
element of plant food. But if he sue
.ccds according to his plan it will be
by reason of the condition of the soil
when he began, the large applications
Of fertilizers would he likely to keep

"Oh!" she gasped.
Just then the couple in front of us

Cow peas for silasc.

A veteran dairymun is John Patter
son, of Adair County, Missouri, former
President of the State Dairymen's AS
ISOLATION. Two years ago he decided to
grow COW peas for his dairy cattle.
When the time came to harvest, the
season was SO wet that he saw no Op
portunity to cure the peas for hay. He
had often heard of the silo, but had
never raised his faith to the point of in.
vesting in he. But with the chance of
Il lost crop staring him in the face, lie
hurried to town, bought enough humber
and Immediately built n large stave
silo. The COW peas were soon harvest
ed and put in the silo. He reports that
he never had COWS to do so we'll before.
He also mixed corn and cow-pca silage
with very satisfactory results. This
year he intends to build two more silos
and store away an immense acreage of
corn for winter feeding. Mi. Patterson
now thinks that every progressive
dairy farmer should by all means have
a silo.

Nothing will pay better for the mon

much care must be exercised. Because

save the life Of an animal. For this
reason when the clover is cut for hay
it should be done before any OF the
heads mature, or eve before they +

soft and pliable. When the clover is
grown for seed, do not use the straw for

animal is SO fastened that it cannot

horses have been reported as having
died from this cause, and some of them

plants are apt to become root bound,

Keep the weeds out all the ummer,
