TWELVE YEARS IN HIDING.
G. A. Bennett at Last Arrested for Extensive
Cattle Stealing

Missoula, Mont, Jan. 29.-G. a.
Bennett, formerly IL prominent merch-
ant OF this city, who for the past II
years has been hiding from an indict-
ment of a grand jury issued October II,
1890, on charge of stealing cattle, was
brought last night to Missoula by the
sheriff.
The story of his downfall, so far as
can be learned, is that stockmen, in
the summer Of 1890, had been missing
cattle, and suspicion fell on Bennett
and his range riders. A close watch
was kept on them with the result that
evidence against Bennett, which was
laid before the district judge, was con-
sidered sufficient by that official to war
rant his calling Il grand jury to investi-
gate the matter. After q session last
ing several days, the grand jury re-
turned verdict against Bennett and
four others, charging them with steal
ing cattle.
Bennett drove from his home direct
ly through this city to some unknown.
point on the Northern Pacific, where
dressed in womans garb, he made his
escape. The various sheriffs of this
county since the escape have constant
ly been on the lookout for him. Some
weeks ago the sheriff located his man
at Albuquerque, N. NJ, and quietly
left the city for the south with all the
necessary papers for his arrest and re-
turn here.
At the time the affair became public
Bennett was operating a slaughter house
and in searching the place, the grand
jury found upwards of 100 cattle hides
bearing the brands of several Bitter
Root stockmen hid in the river and
buried in the ground in that vicinity.

Value of Liquid Manure.

Every farmer should know the value
of liquid manure The Pennsylvania
station publishes the result of their
tests. showing that the urine Of cat
tie contains half the nitrogen and
three-fourths of the potash as original
ly contained in the food. Surely this
valuable plant food, which, If returned
to the soil is capable of producing
about half of the original crop, Is worth
saving. Liquids can be saved by
means of absorbents. straw, leaves, etc.
Many modern barns are now built
with manure cellars under them for
preserving all the manure, liquid and
coarse.

The Farm Horse.

Mr.. w. j. Overton. of Illinois, writes
to the Breeders Gazette. that he does
not believe the place for the draft
horse is on American farms He has
raised some of the largest and best
draft horses in the county, and sold
them at the yards ut figures not
reached by any other draft horse in
six months. but he never could get
the work out Of them that he could
get out of Il good-sized American horse
with as much Morgan blood as he
could get. When they tried to breed
their small or medium sized mares to
the draft horses they thought they
wanted larger horses. They got them
larger in some parts. 1t might i've in
the legs. the head or the body. but
usually not all in one colt. No one
will claim that they have as good
wearing breed of horses as they had
twenty years ago. 1.-The farmer who
only raises colts for his own Use, with
now and then one to sell. had better
stay by the good-sized, smooth, Amer
ican-bred horse" he says.

Winter Work in the Orchard.


Nine out of every ten men who have
orchards which need pruning badly
will give as an excuse for the neglect
that they have no time to spare for
the work. yet all of them have time
and to spare during the winter. 1t is
admitted that to advocate winter prun-
ing of fruit trees is contrary to the
general idea of when this work may
be done to advantage, but skilled Or
chnrdsts do ii each year when the
snow does not prevent. Experienced
fruit growers know that the tree may
be pruned safely any time after the
leaves fall until the sap begins to flow
freely in the spring. and. this being
the case, the pruning should be placed
among the winter jobs. The writer was
much aversc to winter pruning up to
five years ago. but has since practiced
it with the best results. Three years
ago the trees in a young orchard were
pruned in January. when it was neces-
sary to jostle the snow off Of the limbs
in order to see where to use the knife
to advantage. The following crop. the
first one. was good: and two very large
crops have followed. This plan Of win
ter pruning gives one all the time in
the spring to devote to work that can
not be done at any other season.

Boston, Jan. 30 Eight persons
we're killed, three probably fatally
burned, three seriously hurt in jump
ing from windows, and others more or
less hurt as result of fire just be-
fore 2 O'Clock in an Italian tenement
house on Fleet street, North End
Seven of the dead are adults, three
of them women, and the eighth is a
child. The building was six stories in
height. The fire was not seen until it
was under such Roadway that the sleep
ing inmates on the upper floor were cut
off.
Before the firemen got on the scene
two women and man were seen to
throw themselves from the windows
of the third floor to the street below
After the firemen had succeeded in
subduing the flames they began a
search of the far rooms and found eight
bodies. The firemen and police Off
eials labored hard in giving the unfort-
unates emergency treatment, but their
efforts were in vain, for all had in
hailed flame and smoke, and their bod
les, in most cases, were blistered by
the fierce heat which they had en-

for pigs in comparison with barley. In
some cases the pigs refused it alto

amounts it was not eaten readily. AS

as part of the daily ration. in order
to supply lime and bone making ma
terial. This same question Is also in
teresting those who raise hogs in large
numbers. At this time few conclusive
experiments are on record. hence the
only advice that can be given is to try
the plan with both cows and hogs that
are fed largely on corn ration. and
note the results. There Is little doubt
but what results will be beneficial for
stock that consume considerable succu-
lent food. but the well balanced grain
ration ought to give the desired results
with cows without resorting to the
bone meal experiment. AS rule. there
is too much feeding of bulk during the
