Varied RatiOns.

There is no phase of stock raising that
requires more careful attention and in
telligent consideration than the feeding
problem. These days consumers de-
mand beef that is the result of known
feeding principles. The beef eater
doesn't know or care how the beef is
fed, but he knows the kind OF beef he
wants.
The stock raiser and feeder must not
only know the kind of beef the market
demands, but must know how to feed
to get the desired results, he must also
know the combination of foods that
will produce these results and at mini
mum cost.
Much is being said about change of
foods. The statement is frequently
made that cattle lose appetite, get of
feed, if fed the same food continually.
Yet every stock feeder that is expert
enced and intelligent knows that change
OF food is delicate consideration, and
that not only to get the best, but even
safe, results, the change must be grad
ually made.
The basic fact is that the feeding
must be varied, not 30 much to develop
and pet the appetite, as to meet the
needs of the animal system. If corn is
fed to excess, stock will cease TO cal
with relish, because only part of the
system is being normally nourished

Substitute for the SilO.

1t will be a long time before the silo
becomes common among ordinary farm
ere. The large first cost, extra force of
men and great power required to fill it
and some uncertainty as to result are
all arguments against it. The small
farmer is naturally conservative and
slow to adopt innovations.
1 have plan, simple, practical and
tested by the experience of several
years, which, while do not claim it is
superior to the silo, will perhaps recon-
mend itself by those very qualities. The
plan is this: Drill corn as thickly as
possible in single rows three feet two
inches apart. Cut it with corn har-
vester and set it up in large shocks
Stack IL possible after November /. If
it is stacked earlier, it may heat. When
needed it ia passed through feed cut
ter by horsepower and handled by my
own help. There are great many nub-
bins on the stalks, and altogether this
makes the best and cheapest feed l
have yet found. This season my fod-
der, part of 1t stacked in November Ind
part of it drawn from the shock only
last week, is in excellent condition,
and my forty milk COWS are doing
nicely with no other roughnes9. Any
one can try this plan without extra ex-
pense or radical change of plans,
which is not true of the silo.-J. A.
Milne, in the Breeders Gazette.

CHARGED WITH MURDER
WARRANT SWORN OUT AGAINST
YOUNG JAMES WILCOX.
Was the Lover of Nell Cropsey, Whose
Body Was Found in the River
Threats of Lynching.

ELIZABETH CITY, n. c., Dec. 2s.-The
presence of a squad Of naval militia with
loaded carbines is all that prevents an at
tack on the jail in which is confined James
Wilcox, accused of the murder of Nell
Cropsey, whose body was found in the
river yesterday. Threats of lynching were
freely made to-day and the feeling against
the young man continues bitter. During
the day armed guards have kept all pedes-
TRANS block away from the Jail. Solicitor
Ward, the prosecuting officer OF the county
requested Captain w. T. DID, commanding
the militia, to redouble his vigilance to-
night in expectation of an attempt to take
the prisoner. Tonight the saloons were
closed on order of the mayor. Solicitor
Ward to-day had a warrant sworn out
charging Wilcox with murder. a prelimin-
airy hearing will be held on Wednesday
when Wilcox will be held for the grand
jury, which meets in March. Wilcox IS
apparently the most unconcerned man in
the town. He sits in his cell making cigar
cites and talking with his guards He says
he has no fear Of lynching
Andrew d. CrOpsey, the uncle of Miss
Cropsey, arrived to-day from New York. He
Is making preparations to take the body
of the dead girl to New York for interment.
He is deeply affected by the tragic end of
his niece. He says he has spent a large
sum of money in efforts to solve the mys-
terry enshrouding her disappearance over a
month ago and will do his utmost to solve
the mystery Of her death.
The verdict of the coroner's jury, which
was not made public in this city last night
lest it might induce the lynching of James
Wilcox, who is held in connection with the
death of Miss Cropsey, was read to-day in
front Of the corOner's office to a large
semblage OF people. The great crowd not
only manifested no sympathy for Wilcox,
but seemed inclined TO deal harshly with
him if assurance of his guilt could be OBJ

Among the passengers in the drawing
room car was a mother and her boy of four,
and the mother read a novel most of the

looked out for himself. Now and then she
called out Arthur to him in a drawing
voice, and he returned to her seat, but two
minutes later she had forgotten his exist
ence.
After an hour OF so man Of about fifty,
having a seat in the middle of the car, fell
asleep. His silk hat repOSed on the seat
beside him, and it was query in the minds
whether the hat would be shaken off on the
floor or carried away by the kid. That he
wanted TO possess it was plain enough, but
he hesitated until it finally rolled to the
floor. Then he seized 1t and carried 1t to
his mother and said:

sTEREosCOPE VISION BY x-RAY.
An Ingenious Apparatus Which Stead
les the Sight.
Boston Transcript.

6OSlOu IIdHSCIlpl
Eugene w Caldwell has recently per
fected, in the Edward n. Gibbs X-ray
Laboratory Of the University and Bellevue
Hospital Medical College, an apparatus de
signed TO give stereoscOpic vision by "
rays. The new apparatus is described for
the first time in the Electrical Review re-
Gently. The principle upon which it oper-
ates is very beautiful and depends upon the
fact that vision persists for a brief inter
val and a succession of images falling upon
the eye with great rapidity gives the i'm
preston of q continuous Illustration. In
the ordinary X-ray outfit, consisting of a
tube giving out X-rays and a Horoscope,
all that is seen is the shadow cast by the
object under examination upon the sensi-
tive screen. a bullet in a mans arm for
example, shows its shadow. but while it
may be seen to be at a certain distance
away from bone, for example, to one side
or the other, it is not possible to tell wheth-
er it is in front or behind the bone. In
the same way the Photograph Of a mans
chest under ordinary conditions would
idea whether they were worn IN front or
behind. To accomplish stereOScOpic vision
that is, to use both eyes and 10 see OBJ
jects in their proper space relation to one
another-was Mr.. Caldwell's purpose in de-
signing his beautifully ingenious apparatus
He used X-ray tube having two anti
catholics and driven by an alternating
current taken from the street mains and
stepped UP to high voltage Dy means of an
induction coil that the two anti-cathodes
give off X-rays alternately about sixty
times second. Each OF these throws
thirty shadows per second Of the objects
examined upon a screen and these shad-
oWS are. of course, slightly displaced from
one another. By using a shutter turned by
a motor driven by the same alternating
current the vision of each eye is cut oft
from the impulses coming from one Of these
snti-cathodes. The result Of the blended
impressions is the same as when two
photographs taken from slightly different
points of view are examined in the stereo-
scope and the fat shadows suddenly lean
out into space apparently standing clear of
the Horoscope screen and showing the OBJ
jects examined in their true relations with
one another. The instrument is expected
TO be of the greatest Importance in sur
gcal diagnosis.

NASHUA, N. H. Dec. PA dense fog
and a misplaced switch in the north yard
OF the Boston & Maine Railroad, in this

street tonight an audience of nearly 1900
persons at Hopkins's Theater, next door,
filed out quietly and every semblance of a
stampede was avoided. The Park TheateT

which were destroyed. The basement was
used for storing scenery belonging TO the
Dearborn Theater. The total loss in these
instruments and scenery is placed at 100000

STEEL COMPANY BONDS SOLD.
Mr.. Carnegie Supposed to Have Con-
verted. Securities Into Money.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S-It is reported on
Wall street that at an auction sale by
Adrien F. Muller & Co. per cent. bonds of
the Carnegie Steel Company sold at 113B.
says the Journal and American. Andrew
Carnegie rendered 100000 in these bonds
to the government for the Washington
Memorial University for Original Research,
and the sale is believed by some TO indi-
cate that Mr.. Carnegie has converted the
bonds into money in order that the govern
ment should be relieved from any embar-
rassment on account of the bonds. At the
price realized the $40 OOO, 900 in bonds would
be equal in value to 81 ,37S,50O, a substantial
increase of the promised endowment.
WASHINGTON, Dec. %. President
Roosevelt has received information from
Andrew Carnegie that is expected to en-
able him to submit TO Congress a form
of gift OF 100000 10 the United States for
higher education. This offer will not be in
bonds of the United States Steel Corpora
ton. as formerly proposed, but will be in
a form expected to be generally salts
factory. The gift is likely to be in cash or
in securities drawing annual interest.
