Colored fire, TO- man candles and rockets set off from the roof of the palace made a fine dis play as the great flag was slowly rais ed aloft upon the stroke of 12. A band played the national hymn, and the plaza in front of the palace was crowded. A brilliant ball was also given at the San Carlos club. Here the festivities were suspended during the ceremony of raising the Cuban flag, and the guests of the club, in cluding many American officers, wit messed the spectacle

MURDERER MAY BE CRAZY.
Business Troubles Probably Deranged
 Turner's Falls Merchant.


 Greenfield, Mass. Jan 2-Louis Bitz- CT, the Turner's Falls jeweler, who yes terday shot and killed his clerk. Miss Ida Columbe, and his son, years old. and seriously wounded his wife and two daughters, was arraigned in court To each charge he entered, a plea of mot guilty" Miss Columbe was at work in the store when Bitzer sent q bullet into her temple. Then. coatless and hatless, he ran home. He killed his son as the child lay sick in bed and when the other members of the family rushed in to save the boy the father fired at them. The oldest daugh- ter, It years old, received a bullet in her head, but will recover, as will the mother and other daughter.
 Bitzer left a crazily written note in the store saying he had accidentally shot the girl clerk and fearing hang ing, had decided to kill himself and his family. The impression is grow ing that his business failure recently had unhinged his mind.

When Butter Went Down.

When the price of butter went
down at the opening of the pasturage
season a certain New York firm mag
ined that it had singly and alone been
the cause of the sudden decline in but
ter prices throughout the country. The
firm in question sells butterine. They
attempted to stay the passage of the
oleomargarine bill by advertising in
some New York papers, calling the at
tention of people to the matter. Di-
rectly after the advertisement appear
ed the spring pasture season opened
and butter fell from 80 to % cents.
The firm then came out in long let
ter in a publication declaring that
their advertisement had so frightened
the butter makers that they had put
down the price as mentioned. The ad-
vertisement cost the firm $3.50 and
they claim to have saved to the people
of the united States through it the
enormous sum Of 100000 The mod
esty of the firm in question is remark
able.

Something Besides Corn.


A noted hog breeder says: The need
of something besides corn, something
to build up frame and muscle, is quite
generally recognized by up-to-date
breeders and feeders. What that some
thing is to be is the question. Oats.
shorts, bran, ETC., are good fesh-form-
ers but are rather expensive if fed in
tensively; and most of us are feeding
for profit. The only feed that is rich
enough in protein and at the same
time cheap enough to be largely used
in pork production is grass. So impor.
tant do l deem this auxiliary ration
that II could not have pasture I
would raise very few swine. The value
of grass for the brood SOW and the
growing pig is not alone in it's nutri-
tive elements, but largely in it's pro-
motion of health and giving tone to
the system, enabling the animal to
give better account of the corn it
consumes. If all the hogs in the coun-
try could have the advantage of a run
on grass, and plenty of pure water,
the danger from swine plague would
be reduced to a minimum. But on
many farms no arrangement is made
for hog pasture, and this is especially
true on farms occupied by renters, and
on such farms a very large amount OF
pork is produced.

How Great Army May Cross
Rivers On BRIDGE Of Casks

A military bridge on barrels is made
by "piers,' each consisting of seven
casks placed in a line with long
baulk, called a.. gunnel, q feet in
length, running throughout on the
top Of each barrel near the head,
sling (of two and a half inch rope, So
feet long) running from one end of
the gunrel to the other, and under
meath the barrels.
BY an ingenious principle of lash
Ing, the "pier" is made taut and then
launched by means of ,ways-poles or
baulks sloping to the water. Eight
men construct this part of thev bridge,
as many piers" being made, of
course, as the width of the river deter
mined, 10 sufficient for 100 feet.
The piers of casks are connected
to each other by means of baulks,
then floored by cheeses-planks one
and one-half inches to two inches
thick. Though not good for horse
traffic, hurdles could be used. A
hand rail of rope runs each side of
the structure and an excellent mill.

tary bridge of sufficient stability for

TIE Feeding Of HOGS.

l..
From Farmers Review: Last week
in travelling through our county was
struck by the way the farmers hogs
were roofing up lots and pastures. At
Cedar Hill Farm with over sixty hogs
OF all ages, there cannot@be found q
spot that has been rooted up by the
hogs. When hog is inclined to root
he shows very plainly that he lacks
some food element to make him
healthy and contented. A hog must
have a balanced ration just as much
as a steer, cow or horse. l. do not
think there is farm animal that pays
such quick and good returns as hog
that has his everyday food and care
we'll balanced. The brood SOW gives
US larger, healthier filters; the shoates
develop into fine hogs quicker, and
the whole transaction is one of pleas
ure and satisfaction to the breeder and
feeder. One Of the chief sources Of
profit we derive from our cows is In
the large amount of skim milk we
have for the hogs. To increase the
milk quantity we are paying our neigh"
bors s cents per gallon for their milk
that returns pounds of butter fat
per, 100 pounds of milk, we keeping
the skim milk. With this milk, plen'
ty of rape pasture and gluten feed,
with limited amount of corn, we are
making pork at price that leaves US
