And she gives her love to the folks at

THE WIFE DIED LAST.

Death In Mississippi,

Judgment In Peculiar Case of Double
Death In Mississippi.
Some months ago Tony Holland and
his wife, highly respected citizens of
Tallahatchie County, Miss, left their
little farm home to take a stroll in the
woods. The old gentleman carried
along his rifle, in the hope of getting
shot at a squirrel or perhaps a. turkey.
Shortly after they went away two re-
ports of the rifle were heard, but moth
ing was thought about it until nearly
night, when some members Of the fam
lily, becoming uneasy at their long
stay, walked down the path In the d.
rection they had gone, and soon came
upon them lying on the ground dead.
The woman had been shot through
and through from the back, and lay
face down in the path. The old gen.
tleman was a few feet away from her
with the whole top of his head blown
off. They were very devoted couple,
and the supposition was that the gun
had been accidentally discharged, kill
ing the wife, and then in his despair
| the husband took his own life.
The question then was as to which
| Of the two had died first, the dlsposi.
| ton of the estate depending on that
| one point. Ann Duncan claimed the
| property, as heir to her brother, Mr.
Holland, on the ground that he had
done the killing, and that. as matter
of course, he had killed his wife first
The court below took her view of the
matter and awarded her the estate
The near relatives Of Mrs. Holland
took an appeal to the Supreme Cour
of Mississippi. claiming she had dice
last, wherefore they should inherit thu
property. The Supreme Court made
very careful investigation into thu
killing of the old couple, and fount
that, in fact, the woman had died last
though shot first. Her body was warn
when found, and the body of her hus
band was cold, showing conclusively
in the opinion of the court. that sh
had lived some four or five hours long
er than her husband did, and that he
immediate relatives should inherit tn
estate.-St Louis Globe-Democrat.

Market SQUAD Raising for Women.

There is no good reason why women
should not engage in raising SQUADS
for market. They succeed with poul-
try and the work is not near as nara
producing squads as chickens, OF
broilers. The most Objectionable part
of the business would. be killing the
SQUADS and cleaning out the pens.
This. however, is not as hard as the
same work in the poultry business.
Besides. feeding her stock she mas
one day in the week for killing day,
which is Tuesday. 1t is not a hard
task to kill six dozen and hang them
In the cellar to cool until the next
day. when they are ready to ship.
A woman can easily care for 4Oo
pairs of pigeons and the net income
should be at least $500. If they were
kept in we'll arranged buildings IT
would require not more than one hour
morning and evening to feed and water
the flock. If the building used for the
purpose was heated above the freezing
point in winter and water piped to
each pen a great many more BIRDS
could be cared for in the same time
and with less labor. A continuous
building with an aisle or walk at the
back of the pens is the best style so
that II would not be necessary to go
through the pens in feeding and caring
for the Sirds.-E. F. Barry, In orange

the prospective tree planter has to con-
tend is thafact that commercial grow
ers of nursery stock are not supplied
with this kind Of material. The nur'
series still carry large quantities OF tbs
short-lived kinds, such as boxelder,
cottonwood, maple and willow, but are
short on the most valuable species.
The planting Of conifers on the
prairies Of the west during the past
has not been attended with general
success. This is owing to- the use OF
eastern and introduced kinds that arc
not adapted to the country. There Is
abundant evidence, however. that the
red cedar and western yellow pine
(bull pine) will thrive throughout this
section. The desjrability OF ever
greens for wind-breaks on q bleak
prairie should lead owners to turn
their attention to these hardy native
species.-United States Department OF

Selecting Eggs for Matching.

My experience has been that quite
number of farmers and pouitrymen
are not careful in selecting eggs fortne
sitting hen or incubator. So many
people seem to think that just SO an
egg is large it makes no difference
about the size or shape, which is bad
mistake. Always aim to select eggs
of medium size with perfect oval
shape and an entirely smooth surface.
So many eggs are nearly round some
long with both ends nearly the same
size. others have ridges or rings
around them, all of which seldom
hatch a chick and are not fit to be sent
out for Matching purposes. l have re-
ceived eggs from first class poultry
men many a time that were OF the
above description. and only several
chicks from them were Matched. II IS
high time that poultrymen and farm
ers learn what description OF eggs
usually hatch so as to save quite an
expense in rearing chicks.-A. r.

Those who do not know, or regatc

are many ways of mismanagemen-,
which cause the rapid exhaustion CT

in such a way as to produce paying
crops, and not unduly exhaust tna
soil requires iudicious management.
Not everyone who says he is farmer
is one. He may pursue the business
after a manner, but in point OF knowl-

best, he is merely an imitator. Tnere

Most of them fail because they DO not

and as the drain upon the farm goes

conducted is very profitable, but the
practice of sowing the farm to grass

Weeds on Highways.

II is the duty of every farmer to
exterminate the weeds on the roads
along his farm. Some of the most
troublesome weeds have travelled from
one end of the country to the other
along highways. Every farmer should
make it his business to see that no
weeds go to seed on the highway ad-
Joining his farm. The Canada thistle
is travelling all over the country, at
no mean rate Of speed. and as long as
farmers will not keep 1t down along
the highways there is no use OF doing
30 on other parts of the farm; and the
same may be said of many other OF the
vegetable pests.
