WHEAT STRAW.

Wheat straw is the most extensively
used material for bedding in American
farming. 1t is generally used extrava-
gantly because under the system Of or
binary farming the supply of straw is
usually far 10 excess Of the actual needs
of the stables. writes Country Gentle
man correspondent.
Scientifically wheat straw shows a
food value that should save it from be-
ing wasted, and practically we who have
fed animals know it is often highly rel
ished by them, even when they are sup
posed TO have as much other more high
ly regarded foods Is they can eat and
digest. A certain bulk is necessary in
the ration for stomach distention pur-
poses as we'll as to increase the working
area Of the more nutritious foods, and
clean, bright straw can be used profit
ably for adding this bulk, securing it
more cheaply in the straw than in the
more expensive folders. One can make
a good COW ration with ensilage and
straw for the roughage should there be
q shortage Of hay or if hay could be sold
at a price above its feed value compared
with its straw substitute to leave profit
after adding protein concentrates to sup
ply what was withdrawn in the day
In actual practice | have made the sub
stitution of clean wheat straw for high
priced hay, increased my concentrated
portion Of the ration and not only had
profit from selling hay and buying
meal, but got more milk from the change
Of food.
do not mean that the farmer at large
shall cease using his straw for bedding
tor whatever feeding value we may know
it contains the fact remains that we have
no material on the farm that is as cheap
for bedding as straw. But do mean
that we should not use it so wastefully
Straw as it comes from the thrasher is
not good absorbent Of liquids. Nature
made it strong, resistant and practically
induratod for its and the seeds protec-
ton, and until the straw is crushed or
cut or its organism in some way broken
it takes up very little moisture, and as
an agent for the conservation, liquid
excrement it is nearly useless But let
it run through the cutter so that it is
no longer impervious to moisture -
When so prepared, half the quantity of
straw will produce better results both
in absorbing liquids and keeping the
animals clean than can be secured on
the long straw is used.

are small children, the youngest being an infant. She is said to be a very kind and devoted mother and this was evil denced by the manner in which those of her children present chung to her during her trial, and wept over her after her conviction. It Is said that her husband treated her cruelty and brutally and the evidence, which consisted nearly alone of her confessions, was that just before she killed him he took a shell. loaded with shot. and showed it to her and told her that he intended to kill hef with that shell and put it in the gun, and then he would kill himself with another one, which he laid near him: that she was ad- ministering medicine to a sick child, and that he told her to hurry up aRd get through with that child and that when she was through, he would execute his threat; he sat near. with gun cooked. watching and hurrying her for some min utes, when he lay down on a pallet on the floor. setting the gun down near him. cooked: that soon he grew quiet and ap- peared to be asleep, but that she did not know whether he was asleep or not: that she thought over the matter and decided that there was nothing for her to do to escape being killed by him but to get the gun and kill him. which she did
 All evidence in regard to the bad char acter of deceased was refused by the court which really left nothing in the ev- idence before the jury but her confess sions that she killed him.
 Counsel for the defendant argued that the peculiar circumstances surrounding the parties. the fact that she was in her own house. which was as much her castle ns it was his. and from which the law did not contemplate that she should re- treat, that her little children were there and were entitled to her protection and care, and that the attempt to make her escape might have meant death to her. that under all the circumstances the bad character of deceased should have been allowed proven in order to sustain her plea of self-defense. and that she should not wait for a demonstration under all the circumstances.

There is really no need to go away for rest If one will take scientifically made food that rebulds the nerve centres and makes work a comfort and pleasure.
 One of our prominent novelsts was sent to Colorado. Ride every day, sleep in a tent eat when you are hungry my physician told me, but food did not satis fy me and rest would not end the fatigue that had me in it's grip. l was mere machine; eating, sleeping, walking, rid ing, tut unequal to a days work and with no zest for the days pleasure.
 At the lowest ebb of strength and cour- age, my eye fell on a piece of newspaper with which my guide was making camp fire, and I picked it up ana read, Grape Nuts, a Food for Brain and Nerve Cen ters.' I read on: i. seemed to he a de- scription of my own case cured by a diet of Grape-Nuts. I sent for supply of the Food by the rext pack-train that left my camp. It came, 45 miles from the nearest settlement. on a burrO's back That night I ate Grape-Nuts without cream, milk or sugar It tasted good. I felt that for the first time in six months I had been fed
 I went to my bed of pine boughs, slept like a tired child. and woke rested. Then I knew that I had found what 1 needed better than a new sky. better than exer- else, better than rest, because lacking the food that exhausted nature was cry ing for, these things could not help me.

Private Iron Counties in Germany.

The experiment of offering private ex- port bounties to German manufacturers begun by a powerful group of iron and coal interests is being watched with in- terest by the Berlin press. The schem1. which was mainly brought into being by the Westphalian coal and pig-iron syn dicate Is based on the idea that the as- sociation shall pay to It's members who export their commodities bonus equal to the difference between the cure It price at home and the price they actI- ally obtain in foreign markets. The plan Is already doing much to give a fresh impetus to German metal exports; but the permanency of its influence Is doubt ed in some quarters. where 1t is said that the process of helping the foreigners It the expense of the home consumer can . not go on indefinitely.

About Sewer Connections.

Mayor Mcleod was asked about the differences between him and the Board of Health as to the sewer connections, which brought about the resignation of President of the Board of Health pr. Mo- Lean Pitts.
 'I was applied to by Sanitary Officer Smoke" said MT. Mcleod. "who had been instructed by the President of the Board of Health to have warrants made out against certain persons who had refused to connect their premises with the sew craze system of the city. I doubted whether had the authority to issue war ranth for the arrests of the parties. so referred the matter to the City Attorney. I find that the city cannot prosecute any body criminally for refusing to make these connections. The only remedy that the city has is to put in the connections and assess the damages against the prop erty. As the city has not got the money to do this, what can do?''

Wonderful, We'll at York.

Captain w. T. Atkins, who returned home this morning, after a weeks ab- sence from the city, said:
 'T have been at York. and during that time have drunk the most wonderful wa- ter I have tasted in many day. About two years ago negro. who lived in about two miles of York dug a well, some thirty to thirty-five feet deep. The water could not be used for drinking pur- poses and the well was abandoned. ex- cept for medical purposes. The negroes of the neighborhood got to drinking the water in place of taking medicine and 1t did them so much good that the fame of tl> water spread to the white people and now everybody is drinking 1t. An analy- sis shows that it contains epsom salts, sulphur and several other ingredients. The well is owned by three gentlemen and one of them has refused S2,0O0 for his third interest in the well. Hundreds of gallons of the water are being shipped away from York by express every ds9 and I would not be surprised If a big hotel was built near the we'll and York became a celebrated health resort"

 A Will Contest Filed.
 A bill in chancery was filed in the office of the Register in Chancery late yester- day afternoon, by Len D. Mullen. asking that the will of his sister, Mrs. Annie Johnson, wife of Tom Johnson, be set aside on the ground of undue influence. Len D. Mullen and Mrs. Annie Johnson, were the only children of the late An drew J. Mullen. one of Selma's wealth. lest men, Mrs Johnson died in Phila- delphia about a year ago The amount that Mrs Johnson bequeathed her hus- band. and which is involved in the con test of the will, is between $5,000 and $3O,O00 Strong legal talent has been em- ployed on both sides and battle will be waged.
 The filing of the bill to declare the will null and void came as a surprise to the general public. A. J. Mullen left an es- tate valued at from S75OOO to SlOO.0OO, which he left to his widow and two chil- dren, J.. D. Mullen and Mrs. Annie John ston,
