Yesterday Coroner ]. w. Schultze
received a letter from Mrs. William
Travis, of Lockwood, O., asking for a
description of the man murdered by
Tom Lowry some weeks ago. She
stated that her husbands name was
the same as the murdered mans and as
her husband had been away from home
for some time travelling she had fears
that it was he, who was murdered.
Coroner Schultze sent the desired in

InfusinE New Blood.

Those who sell seed corn in large
quantities seldom take the care in Sc
Letting and tipping that the farmer
does who has but few bushels to pre-
pare for planting, but this should not
deter us from occasionally 'infusing
new blood" Many seem to think that
in order to do this it is necessary to
mix the corn by crossing with another
variety. Does the Shorthorn breeder
buy a Holstein bull for the purpose of
improving his herd of Shorthorns? No.
He buys one of a family or strain diff
ferent from his own, but Of the same
breed. So in infusing new blood into
a pure variety we simply procure from
a careful grower in another locality
seed of the same variety to mix with
our own. We believe it pays to do this
occasionally, for continued inbreeding
is bad in corn or cattle.-Ohio Farmer

vines. The principal remeOles are AIR
slaked lime, sifted coal ashes, land
plaster or equal parts wood ashes and
road dust freely applied in the morning
when the plants are wet with dew.
Tobacco dust is a good fertilizer as
well as insecticide and may be used to
advantage on all vines except water
melon, to which it is injurious and will
destroy the vines If used in large guam
titles. Spraying with bordeaux mix
ture Is preventive of disease, and
saltpeter and water, an ounce to the
gallon, If applied to the hills will be
found a wonderful invigorator to the
plants.
Bush Beans.-A plentiful supply of
the bush beans for family use may be
easily grown as second crop without
interference to other vegetables. The
varieties are numerous and by judi
cious selections as to time Of maturing
may be safely planted from May 10 up
to within 80 days Of frost. Planted as
they may be between other crops
which are maturing in advance of
them, a constant supply Of snap and
shell beans may be had from July to
late fall.
Beets.-The late fall and winter
supply, either for home use or market,
are best not sown before June Is or lat

81, 900 an Acre From Dande1ions.
The dandelion Is but little grown in
this country as a vegetable other than
in some parts of New England. Some
of the market gardeners in the vicinity
of Boston claim to have taken as much
as $1,000 worth from an acre. The
variety known as the improved French
thick leaved is the best and most gen.
orally grown. 1t is not at all particu-
lar as to soil or situation-in fact, 1t
will thrive anywhere-but the larger
profits are made in growing 1t on a
heavy loan, with good filth. The seed
should be sown soon after May l, but
good results are obtained when grown
as a second crop, the seed being sown
as late as Aug 1.
The soil should be finely prepared,
as the seeds are very small, and the
young plants because of their dark
color are quite inconspicuous. Sow in
drills one foot apart and cover thinly.
Roll the ground after sowing. In or
lettuce seed should be mixed with it,,
say two ounces to the acre. The let

In 1910 an importation of nine goats
came into South Carolina from Angora,
a province of Turkey, in Asia Minor.
From that date to the present about
400 Angoras have been imported and
distributed through different parts of
the United States. The majority of
these animals now in the country and
called AngOras are not strictly pure
Bred but are crosses on the common
goat. The characteristics of the latter
disappear in the fourth and fifth cross
es, and we get pure white, good shear
ing goat, with long, silky mohair.
The Angora goat grows to the same
size as sheep, but does not mature so
rapidly. A 6 months old lamb will
weigh more than kid of the same age
with equal care; therefore the goat is
not as good to raise for the early mar
ket, but this Is more than offset by the
fact that it carries its lamb, or soft
joint, longer than lamb does, and it's
life is much longer than that of sheep.
1t is prolific breeder and productive
shearer until it is IL and IA years old.
1t lives and thrives in any climate or
country where sheep live and prosper.
1t readily adapts itself to the surround
ing conditions, from the rich field of
the valley to the rugged mountain
wastes. All the shelter it needs in this
climate (Kansas) is an open shed, fac
ing the SOUTH which it can go under to
protect itself from the cold rains and
snow Of our northern winters Keep it
dry, especially after shearing, and it
will stand any amount of cold weather.
1t feeds and does well during the win
ter on corn fodder, straw and coarse
hay, with little grain during March
and the first Of April to strengthen it
for the kidding season of May.
Notes About Goats.
Angora goats thrive excellently in
southern Georgia, so far as latitude
and climatic conditions are concerned.
Maltese goats generally average less
than Angoras. The so called Maltese
are Of various colors.
Mature Angoras, except where spe-
cially fed, average in weight from
about rs to 90 pounds, though fat
wethers will often go over 100 pounds.
The flesh Of Angoras, now known as
Angora venison, is scarcely distinguish
able from mutton. The flesh of the
Maltese is usually Of darker color
and more gamy in flavor.

THE ONION THRIPS.
sTWhite Blast" Is Its Worthwhile
Oil Soap the Remedy.


The onion thrips Crhrips tabacD has
been found to extend from the Atlantic
to the Pacific oceans. The effect of this
insect upon the onion is known as the
'whlte blast" from the fact that the
tops are prematurely whitened and be-
come ,wrinlled and shriveled. The
rasping Of the leaves is done by such
slender mouth parts and the insect is
so small that the injury has more the
appearance of a fungus or bacterial dis
ease than of insect work.
Recent Investigations have shown
that the insect passes the winter
months in matted grass, among old
weeds and other rubbish as well as
among Gull onions and refuse that have
been left over in the fields in the fall.
Onion growers are familiar with the
fact that the depredations of this in
sect appear earliest and are the most
emphasized along the margins of fields
or plots or in spots over the fields. The
reason for this is that the insect win
ters over in these places 1t makes it's
way from the grassy margins or from
the grassy banks of bitches to the rows
of onions adjoining. 1t winters over in
the piles of culled onions and refuse In
the fields and begins its work there,
spreading from thence outward.
Wherever the grass and weeds along
bitches can be rooted up and destroyed
1t prevents the harboring of this pest.
Wherever the old, dry grasses and
weeds along the margins of onion plan
tations can be burned the effect will be
to destroy myriads of the pest and to
prevent their breeding the next season.
With frequent drenching rains there is
not much likelihood of a severe out
break, but in case of drought the insect
is likely to work more or less serious
injury in extensive onion fields.
A spray Of one pound of whale oil
soap dissolved in eight gallons Of water
will destroy the pest, and the use of
this mixture Is recommended on the
first appearance of the insects in the
fields. At time of first appearance it
will probably only be necessary to treat
very small areas along the margins of
fields or the small, isolated spots previ-
ously mentioned in order to permanent
ly check their increase.

Many farmers object to fall filters,
thinking that they require more care
through the winter and that they do
not get as large returns for the feed
writes Waldo f. Brown in National
Stockman. That it requires more care
l admit, but the farmer has more time
to care for them. | think with a good
warm house and an attendant careful
to see that the openings are closed in
cold weather l can get as good results
from winter filters as from the spring
pigs, and, taking a series of years,
find that l have received a somewhat
higher price for my fall litters sold in
the spring than from those that were
narrowed in the spring and sold in the
fall. l think also that as a rule the
sows are in better condition for far
rowing and less liable to loss of their
pigs and care for them better when far
rowed in October than when narrowed
in the early spring, especially in March.
In this latitude Ohio we rarely have
cold storms or severe winter weather
until late in November and frequently
not until the latter part of December,
so that our pigs are well started before
the weather is bad.
Judicious Mating.
Too much attention cannot be paid to
the proper mating of breeding animals
in order to secure good results, said
Professor Kennedy before the Illinois
Swine Breeders association. This will
apply more to the selection of the sire
than SOW for his influence is very great
in the herd and will determine to a
very great extent the type of the whole
herd. Avoid the common error of to-
day in selecting a fine boned hog. Prog
! eny from such n sire will not bear up
the load of n well developed body, par
ticularly when being transported to
market. In making the selection of a
sire always bear in mind the type you
already have in your herd on the part
of the sows-i. e., Are they too long in
the body, too high off the ground, too
| fine in the bone, too short, etc.? Then
| select boar of the opposite type to
correct these errors. You cannot lay
too much stress upon the matter of jul
dicious mating.
| Ashes, Coal and Salt For Hogs.

ashes, soft coal or hard coal they will

This will facilitate the drying of the

will continue growth until late fall, and
the proper time will be determined
by the localities where grown. The
best results both as to quality and yield
