There is little room for doubling
that the moth-catching lantern is
more of u detriment than a help in
Kidding the farm Of troublesome in
sects. It is a we'll known scientific
fact that if is the warfare between
differen6 kinds of insect life that
keeps the injurious species within
bounds. We have our friends and
our enemies, and the moth. trap
oatones vastly more friends tA~n
enemies. This is especially true in
an orchard or garden. A careful
study of one nights catch will con-
vince one of this.-Ex.

believe that the farmer should
raise as near pure bred stock as pos
sible. The 'frazor back" hog and
the long horn cow have no place un-
der fence. When was boy it was
considered waste to feed an ear of
corn to anything but horse in win
ter time. A COW would not eat any
thing but grass, and the hog made
his own living in the woods. The
stock farmer is the coming man in
my opinion. The man who raises
corn and stock and feeds his corn to
the stock will be successful. A man
who raises corn and sells it for %
cents or 80 cents per bushel cannot
make any money, but by feeding it
to his cattle he is sure to make
money. By feeding calf until he is
two and one-half years old he can be
sold for $50. My principal interest
is in farming and stock raising.
Some twelve years ago 1 employed a
dairyman and bought a herd of Jer-
sey cattle. I have been developing
my dairy herd until now l am milk
ing over 125 COWS. This year l will
sell $40, 900 worth of milk, cream and
butter from my dairy-hOwever, that
is not all profit. My COWS pay me
very good per cent. on the amount
invested. I have no trouble in sell
ing my products. We have good
town-we have lots of oil there, but
1 cannot mix it with my milk. I
have /, 900 acres in cultivation, and
1 tell you the most profitable part of
my farm is the dairy. I believe that
every farmer should raise some beef
cattle. The COWS will furnish the
milk and hutter for the family and
you can make a profit selling the
calves Geo. Jester, Corsicana, Tex,

FACTs ABOUT SHREDDED FODDER AND
sHRFDDTFG MACHINES.

The farmer, dGiTyn1Gn and stock
man of today 1OhO as iR the business
for the purpose of making money
1 must employ eUeTy modern JGbOr-SGU-
Srg machine and deUice an helping on
aOith his 1COrk, We are Just on the
threshold of Developing the pOsSt6ttf-
ties of the corn crop.
The topped corn fodder (stover)
contains So per cent. of digestible
matter.
Do you know that corn fodder
when fed alone will very nearly
maintain cattleP
Convert all of your corn stalks
into nice, palatable fodder, every
particle of which cattle will eat and
grow fat on.
Do you know that the corn fodder
or stover from one acre yields as
much digestible matter as two tons
of timothy hay?
By using the best machines the
largest and heaviest corn stalks
grown can be put through equally as
we'll as the small stalks.
You can shred your corn fodder as
cheap as you can husk corn, to say
nothing about the great value of the
shredded product.
Cure and store shredded corn fod-
der in the same way that you would
hay, and you will have little trouble
in it's heating.
The farmer or stockman who has
good live stock and expects to keep
them we'll should be amply supplied
with shredded fodder.
shredding should be done as early
as possible, as corn fodder wastes
largely through exposure during the
fall and winter months.
The corn fodder shredder is the
greatest feed-saving machine ever
invented. No other machine enables
farmers to save 40 per cent. of any
crop.
The value of an acre of shredded
fodder put through a good machine
is more than three times as much as
the expense to the farmer of husk-
ing his corn alone.
A complete revolution has taken
place within the past five years in
the way of handling corn fodder.
The shredded article saves every
particle of the crop.
The corn shredder which takes the
corn and stalks directly from the
cutter, shells the kernel from the
cob, separates, cleans and delivers
the clean sheIIed corn into the meas
ure and the cut fodder, including the
cut cob, into the bin ready for feed
ing stock, is one of the modern, up
to-date machines, and it is giving
good service.
Shredded corn fodder may be put
up in ricks out of doors, but it is best
TO be put under cover in mows and
handled something in the same man.
ner as clover hay.
The full value of fodder was never
demonstrated until the modern
shredder was put into use, and not
until, then could the fodder be put in
such shape as could be handled in
barns.
As an absorbent for bedding moth
ing equals the shredded corn stalk
it possesses strong absorbent proper
ties and retains far more of the
liquid than straw or other coarse
material.
For shredding the stalks should be
cut off the field as soon as possible
after the corn begins to dent, and it
should be properly shocked and then
shredded as soon as the corn will do
to crib.
Chemists tell US that 80 per cent.
of the corn stalk consists of digest
ible food, equal pound for pound to
the best timothy hay. This fodder
hay when baled is sold at the usual
price of the best hay.

SAYS LAWYERS

Captain Mercer Testifies
Against Examiner @.
A. S. Frost.

The so-called Nome contempt case was
taken up again yesterday. Witness Coch-
rams long story of Nome history was
hurriedly run over In cross-examination,
and then Captain John F. Mercer was
placed upon the stand by the amicus Gu
rlae. He is the last of the Government
witnesses and an effort is being made II
show by his testimony that c. A S. Eros.
used the Marsnals of Nome for private
detective work.
Mercer testified that within a week
after his arrival c. A. s. Frost spoke to
him about the employment of detectives
TO watch Judge Johnson, w. H Metson
Samuel Knight, Charles y. Lane, Ken
meth NJ. Jackson and other attorneys. The
witness said Frost introduced him to =.
j. Garret, who refused to act as a spy on
other people. George Carson was after =
ward employed, also George d. McLain
and a man named Harrow. These men
reported orally and also in writing. Ac
cording to the testimony the witness over
heard many conversations between the
detectives and Frost. Once Frost tod
Mercer that there would be a raid on tho
bank TO take possession of the gold dust
and that this must be prevented at any
cost.
One of the conversations between Frost
and Mercer was full of moment On the
stand the witness testified: Frost said
the gold must lie protected, and if neces-
sary the Marshal must swear in a posse
comitatus. He said the gold must be pro-
tected against the Lane crowd
What did Frost say about Judge Noyes
and the writs2' asked Pillsbury.
He said Judge Noyes would do as he
pleased about them" replied the witness.
The cross-eXamination continued
throughout the greater part Of the after
noon Nothing of any great Importance
developed. Judge Noyes will probably
take the stand to-day.

Shed Blood.
Four Men Reported Killed as
a Result of the Con-

Special Dispatch to The Call.

Ell PASO, Tex, Nov. 6.-The relations
between the Southern Pacific and Bisbee
Railway are still strained and the bitter
feeling between the forces of the contend
ing companies is increasing. In the vicin-
fty of this city the situation is critical and
the decision in the injunction suit is
awaited with interest as trouble is almost
sure to follow.
A dispatch from Alamo Gordo, N. NJ.
to-day, where the attorneys are arguing
the motion to dismiss the injunction,
states that the officials there were notified
that a conflict between the rival forces
of the workmen at Deming, N. M, had
taken place, resulting in the death of
four men.
This report is not confirmed by railway
men here, but it is stated that the Bisbee
forces overpowered four guards at Dem
ing, seized a Southern Pacific switch en-
gine and removed ninety cars of building
material from the Southern Pacific yards
to the Bisbee sidingS.
The Southern Pacific had held up this
material and the work Of the Bisbee con-
tractors was. being interfered with. A
raid was accordingly planned and sue
cessfully carried out, but If bloodshed re-
suited the officials here know nothing
about it.

WILLIAM WEBER APPLIES
TO COURTS FOR RELIEF
Files Suit for Damages Against
Bakers Union, Alleging It Con-
spired Against Him.

William Weber is suing Bakers Union
No. "a for $4,000 damages, which he al
leges he suffered by reason of a conspir-
acy formed by the members of the union
to prevent him from working at his trade
of baker. Weber alleges that he was ex-
PEELED from the union without his knowl-
edge, and that the union after expelling
him compelled his employer, John Langs-
dorf, to discharge him. He secured po-
sition in Alameda, and was discharged be-
cause the union, he alleges, threatened to
boycott his employer if he was kept at
work. He then secured a position with
Ruediger & Loesch, and he alleges the
union is boycotting the bakery owned by
them because they refuse to discharge
him. He asks that a receiver be appoint
ed to take charge Of the funds of the
union until the suit is determined, and
that an order be issued from the court
restraining the union from boycotting any
firm by which he is employed.
