Mrs. Showalter. wife of Levi Sho-
walter, departed this life Monday
morning. She had been a great SUI
ferer for several months with some
thing like cancer OF the face. The
funeral took place at the family resi-
dence at 10 O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing conducted by Rev. McGee. pastor
OF the {. 7. church. The deceased
was most estimable lady, true
christian, a devoted wife and mother
and leaves large circle of friends
who deeply regret her demise and ex-
tend sincerest sympathy to the be-
reaved family.
VIM. Rogers and r. c. Hatcher,
coal miners of Rich Hill, we're locked
in Jail Monday morning. The for
mer is charged with assaulting Pete
Harvey. a deputy sheriff, and the
latter with assaulting Sheriff Smith.
during the riot at Rich Hill Wednes-
day evening of last week. Sheriff
Smith was struck on the head with q
sling shot or rock and painfully in
iured while assisting to liberate one
of his deputies whom a crowd Of
miners had down and were beating
in a shameful manner. Sheriff Smith
was unarmed at the time and with
the odds against him had but a moor
show in defending himself.

The motion for a new trial in the
DR.. Gartrell case will be passed upon
by Judge Graves Friday, December
10Th. Should the motion be over
ruled the court will at that time pass
sentence upon the old man and fix
the date OF execution. If the motion
for a new trial is overruled, il is un-
derstood the case will be appealed to
the supreme court.
The miners strike at Rich Hill has
been declared off and most of the
men have gone back to work. This
is good news to every one. Cover
nor Dockery made a special trip to
Rich Hill last OF the week to bring
about this result, and he is no
doubt highly gratified at its termina-
ton. Sheriff Smith stayed on the
ground constantly, and to his excel
lent Judgment and dignifed, conser-
vative course is due largely the
absense of destructive ricting which
so often happens on occasions ofthis
kind. While ne enforced every pro-
cess of law that was placed in his
hands, he treated all parties consid-
erately and held the situation firmly
in hand. The final results were
reached through the state arbitra-
ton board which met there on Mon.
day.

AN IMPROVED GRANARY.
StorehouSc for Corn
Which Is Absolutely Safe from
EDcrOachments by Nermin.

The dimensions of my granary-you
see have got past the corn crib period
entirely-are as follows: Length,
stills. Is feet: plates. 20 feet; width, IA
feet; total length of posts, IL feet;
height of floor from the ground, 3a
feet. These dimensions may vary, ac-
cording to the amount of grain to be
stored. Wide strips of tin shield the
tops of the posts from the invasion of
rats and mice.
Inside the plan is as follows: Corn
in the back part, the crib running
across the end, and on each side row
of grain bins. These are arranged so
that the ends nearest the alley be-
tween, which is four feet wide, may be
removed in case they are not needed.
These empty bins afford store room for
u corn shelter or for bran or other
feed. A loose floor overhead also fur
nishes space for putting away many
articles which might otherwise be cast
around anywhere. The inside is lined
with matched southern pine three
eighths thick The outside is bat
tened, and the boards being surfaced
the whole is painted. The entire ex-
pense of this granary was not far from
SIS, and | have received the compli-
ment that it is the best job l have
done in the way of building, and have
spent small fortune in that line. In
fact, it pleases me exactly. / never
have seen but two mice in this gran
airy, and those | carried in with empty
bags; and, as may be supposed, l was

as | could and entered upon the most

for the fun of the thing can often say.

thing, in fact, that concerns corn and

MEAT FOR HOME USE.
Best Pork Comes from Hogs Weigh
ing zoo Pounds. Fat Hogs being
Useful for Lard Only

Hogs weighing from 200 to $50
pounds make the best pork for fam
lily use. Ii several hogs are slaugh-
tered at one time, the pieces will all
be of one size and will cure better.
Killing hogs weighing 200 pounds and
some ranging from that to 400 pounds
will provide hams of several sizes and
they will not ali cure in the same
time. Some will be too salty while
others may get too little salt. / like
to kill the large, fat hog for lard,
and the greater part of him gets in
the lard cask. | don't hesitate
minute to cut up great deal of the
lean meat of the heavy hogs for sau-
sage. The shoulders of the large hog
are trimmed as small as the Joints
will let me. All the scraps possible
are trimmed from the hams. even the
skin and fat taken from them and
rendered, and they are ready for inn
mediate use. The nice, trim, little
hams are cured for later use. Smoked
mutton saddles and pork sausage
make the best meat / know of.

striking Facts About Horses.

At the recent meeting of the Texas
Live Stock association the statement
was made that there are now 3,00O,-
600 fewer horses in the United States
than there were ten years ago, that
there are 100000 more in active use
than in 1900, and that there is a bet
ter demand for our horses from
abroad than for many years, if ever
before. 1t was brought out in the
discussions that we could not by
any reasonable measures restore our
numbers in less than six years. and
that in the meantime we would have
great difficulty in supplying our for
eign customers, if indeed we were
sufficiently equipped to hold their
trade. 1t was agreed that the out
look just now for the industry Of
horse breeding is especially promis-
ing. National Stockman.

Feeding Hogs in England.

Inc English hog is prominently of
the bacon type. This is a natural eyo-
luton in swinedom where there is
not a large area of corn with which
to feed swine. The lard hog is nat
nral product of the corn belt. Corn
makes fat, and it is on many farms
almost the exclusive diet Hogs in
England are given a great variety of
feeds-potatoes. turnips, carrots.
beets, peas, beans, barley and oats.
The grain is either steamed or
ground, and the vegetables usually
cooked and mixed with swill. Grasses
and clover are cut and fed during
summer time. English hogs tend
more to the bacon type than do those
raised in America. If lean meat is
wanted we must feed greater yari-
ETY. and select muscle forming foods

Madam Bayeas, like most of the
other visitors, came here in search of

her cure was not found in the virtue
of the baths, but in few boxes of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which
she found on sale here, and which is
being used and with wonderful success
by number of the visitors to Hot
Springs. She says
81 travelled almost constantly for
hepast sixyears in the interests of my
Society, and my health gradually be-
came broken down, through the
change of food, water, climate, etc.
The doctors told me L had diabetes,
and advised me to go to the Springs,
as they could do nothing for me. While
there my attention was called to
Dodd's Kidney Pills by a fellow suffer-
er, who had been greatly benefited by
using them.
Il profted by her experience and
bought box, and then another, and
so on until had used seven boxes. 1t
is with gratitude that l state that
they cured me completely, and am
now able to take up the duties of life
once more. / am very thankful for
what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
for me, and as grateful woman shall
never hesitate to recommend them to
anyone suffering with Diabetes
The very satisfactory experience of
this distinguished woman, should be
an encouragement to all similar suf-
ferers.

cannot supply you, send TO the Dodd's

When the spring opens there is a
temptation TO put stock on the pastures
rather early in the season. This should
not be done. as trampIing by the ami

Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell, and was generally

replied with advice, and under date of

that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

The DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and a great deal
OF exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
ton but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs, Pinkham's address is

In the spring sheep need careful
attention. Lambs drop then, and
some of the ewes may be little
feeble and should have extra care.
There should be a room provided to
be used as a hospital, where any
weak or ailing ones may be taken
for better care and more liberal feed
ing if needed. Just before lambs
drop. clip any filthy tag locks from
the udder and escutcheon up to the
tail. While sheep require consider
able care to grazing time, it is no
more work with 100 sheep than with

THE USEFUL cow PEA.
1t Furnishes Excellent Forage and
Feed and Is Exceedingly Nnlu-

The COW pea may be said TO be grown
all over the country and yet it is not
grown on one farm in a thousand on
which it ought to be grown. 1t has
been favorite legume in the south
where it has been grown for $50 years.
and yet, perhaps, it may be truthfully
said that even there its vast value has
not been fully appreciated. 1t is sup
posed that the seed was first brought
from India or China. The COW pea is
really bean. There are many varie-
