INVESTIGATING eAsRIN's DEATH
Or. Tyler Says It Was Due to Arsen.
ieal Poisoning.

Denver, April 22.-Most of the per-
sons who had any connection with
Representative Albert Gabrin's death
were gathered in the office Of Chief
OF Police Armstrong last night TO tell
what they might know about 1t. The
inquiry was in way informal, nl-
though all the testimony was recorded
by a stenographer. Only abont half
the witnesses were examined, but the
inquiry will be continued this evening
after which 1t is expected arrests will
be made.
The most important testimony was
given by DR.. q. f. Tyler, secretary of
the state board OF health, who was
called In by DIR. Kleiner on the night
of Gabrin's death for consultation Dr.
Tyler said:
II was first called in for eonsuita-

During the inquiry there was q con-
dict Of testimony on this point DIR.
Tyler testified positively az to the
statement made by Gahrip On his
deathbead-that Mrs. Gabrin had
either given him glass Of wine or
medicine. Mrs. Gabrin, when ehe was
called upon to testify, denied positive
ly that she had given her husband any
thing while the nurse was absent.
II found Gabrin In a state Of extreme
collapse" said DIR. Tyler, continuing
his Testimony. II gave II as my
opinion that he would die within q
short time. l was told by Herman

Professor C. D. Woods. director Of
the Maine Experiment Station. in his
talk to Wisconsin farmers at the re-
cent convention at Oconomowoc. laid
special stress on the great value Of
the potato crop. It is valuable because
1t dos not exhaust land as do some
other crops. Its starch is made out Of
carbon. and this has been gathered
from the air by means of the leaves.
So 1t does not come out Of the ground
at all. The man that grows potatoes

There 10 NO best way Of growing
potatoes. Place and circumstances
must dictate methods. To grow 20
,tatoes successfully man must be suf-
hciently intelligent to understand the
soil and other conditions on his own
farm. No man can afford to follow the
methods Of public speakers or his
neighbors without first finding out
whether they apply to his case. The
selection Of seed is important. because
we do not plant the seeds but cuttings
from the tubers. The tubers from
which the cuttings are to be made
should be ripe and should have bean

from 33 to 40 degrees. 1t Is, however.

pose should be dug while the tops ere

weak Anbs.

We have recently received several
complaints from shepherds to the ef-
feet that their lambs come weak, sea-
SON after season. and are again show
ing similar and even worse symptoms
this year. They say that the lambs
can scarcely stand when born, and
even although they try to suck it
seems = dincult undertaking and they
fall to derive strength from the nour-
tshment taken. Invariably y added
the fact that the ewes have been fed
apparently well upon coarse folders.
such rs clover hay, timothy hay. corn
fodder, wheat or oat straw. This is
one OF the explanations Of the trouble.
1t has been noticed that unless ewes
when pregnant are fed additional con-
centrates such as bran. crushed oats,
oil meal or oil cake they tend to
become constipared and In this condi-
ton there is either trouble at lambing
time or weakness among the lambs.
The weakness IL due to the fact that
the ewes merely manage to derive per-
sonal nourishment from the food given
but an insuniciency Of surplus from
which to build up q strong. we'll
formed foetus. It Is also reported in
the same connection that many of the
lambs come into the world showing
enlargements of the glands Of the
throat. The enlargements are of the
thyroid glands and constitute "goitre,"
trouble that always indicates debil-
fty and lack Of uterine nourishment.
1t also bespeaks lack Of mineral mat
ters In the food Of the ewes and in
the milk first furnished-a lack Of
such salts as lime and phosphate
minerals which are always freely i'm
parted to the blood circulation in bran
and other grain foods of the nitrog-
enous class. In addition to the ag-
: gravating causes of weakness in
lambs may be mentioned in-and-in
breeding. or too seldom changes of
breeding stock. The ram is used year
after year, and at last there is too
close connection In mating, with the
result of loss of vitality, constitution
and strength of bone. To prevent
weak lambs from troubling in the
flock the following measures conse-
quently become necessary: Use of
new rams Of strong constitution and.

and generous feeding Of concentrates
to ewes before and after service and

hulk in swine Food.

!. Swine are by nature omnivorous
feeders. They eat flesh, herbase. ce-
reals, roots and fruits. Their food In
their natural state has good deal Of
bulk. The bad results sometimes OBJ
tanned by feeders is due to forgetful-
ness of this fact. The salvation of
pigs kept in confinement has been tho
general Impression that swill was pre-
eminently hog feed. This has given
bulk to an otherwise condensed ra-
ton. The pig has to a large extent
been the victim Of wrong system of
feeding. He has been too often con-
fined in q small space and fed con-
densed ration. As result disease
and death have cut short the profits Of
the pig raisers. The feeding Of ra-
tion of cereals is not in keeping with
the natural requirements Of the porcine
money-maker. It is not dinicult mat
ter for the swine feeder to increase
greatly the bulk Of food. fed. silage,
roots and vegetables can be fed in the
winter. II the farmer have not these,

centrate that u to be fed.

Fertilizer Facts.

Press Bulletin 40, New Hampshire
Station: A curious sign of the preju-
dice Of fertilizer buyers for q name
was shown by the brands put on our
market by one large company. This
corporation had in our state fourteen
different brands guaranteed to contain
? per cent Of nitrogen, 8 per cent OF
2vailable phosphoric acid and per
cent Of potash, while ten more Of its
brands differed from the above lot by
each having guarantee Of 1.b per,
cent Of potash instead Of 3 per cent.
In other words, this company had
twenty-four brands to represent only
two different formulas. because fertil-
izers are bought by name instead Of by
composition.
The last census states the value Of
fertilizers bought in New Hampshire
in 1900 to have been $685., 900, making
an average for each farm Of S12.55.
The most common fertilizers sold In
the state were those costing $50 per,
ton. For the average sum per farm
there was purchased of such q mixed
fertilizer 837 pounds. containing II
pounds of nitrogen, 81 Of available
phosphoric acid and 25 Of potash. or
total of 106 pounds of plant food. BY
buying the highest grade of chemicals.
including nitrate Of soda, dried blood,
acid phosphate and sulphate Of potash,
and paying cash, 31255 could have pur-
chased 800 pounds Of chemicals con-
tanning 20 pounds Of nitrogen, 5s Of

Pueblo, Colo, April oO-Former Ad-

yesterday morning at 10 o'clock at his
late residence, No. 307 Spring street.
this city. The immediate cause Of his
death was dropsy. He had been In III
health since his return from the Philip
pines, two years ago, but his illness
was not considered serious until few
days ago, when he began sinking rap
idly.
Thomas J. Tarsney, adjutant general
under Governor Waite's administra-
ton, figured consplcuously in one Of
the most serious crises of the states
history, and bore the marks of that ex.
perience to the end. Leading his
troops in the Bull hill war at Cripple
Greek, tarred and feathered by the an
cry participants In that fight and feel
ing the effects of that terrible
night all the rest of his days, Tarsney
never could get the memory of 1t out
Of his mind, and his friends think that
the horror of that memory contributed
to break down his health. He came
to Pueblo in 1874, and was afterward
admitted to the bar. He was appoint
ed adJutant general by Governor Waite
in 1894.
When the war between the mine op-
orators and the miners broke out at
Cripple Creek, Tarsney, with the state
troops that the governor had called out
hastened to the seat Of hostilities.
Tarsney was stopping at the Alta
Vista hotel in Colorado Springs. One
night mob surrounded the hotel.

ers. When the angry men left him he
made his way back to the city and was
cared for by his friends. Tarsney, af-
ter the trouble was ended, returned to
Denver and remained in office till the
end Of Governor Waite's term, when
AC WNht " AIuhuuSO, WutEe HE WAS ul6-
trict attorney at one time A few years
later he went to Pueblo.
When the troops were being sent to
the Philippines, Tarsney entered the
army and was sent to the islands as an
army sutler. He remained in Manila
after the Colorado troops returned
home and obtained a concession to op-
crate ferry between Querida and the
island Of Corregidor. This venture
was not paying one, and after two
| years spent in Luzon he came back to
Pueblo.
Tarsney was an orator OF considera-
bic ability and In the presidential cam
paign Of 1896 he stumped several of the
eastern states in favor of w. ]. Bryan.
Failing in health and almost blind, his
pitiable condition attracted the atten-
tion of the Thirteenth General Assem-
bly,, and an appropriation Of 5000 was
made by that body for his relief.
General Tarsney leaves three chill
dren: Mrs. George Hupp, whose hus-
band is editor of the Rico News; Mrs.
II. B. Oliver of Denver, and Mrs. A. NJ.
