Value Of Mature and Immature Fod

ders.
relative to the composition of feeding
stufs at different stages of growth
says: The conditions of growth Of the
crops this season were about equally
favorable for each of them, and some
tentative conclusions may hence be
drawn from the result OF this u900)
seasons work. The mixed crop. oats
and peas, improves In composition as
II grows older and should probably be
allowed to stand as long as the pea
vines will remain fairly erect The
proportion OF forming to fat
forming constituents in the fodder OBJ
tanned from this crop is very nearly
the correct one for a well-balanced ra-
ton for most classes OF animals, and
sary to supplement this fodder with
grain or other foods.
Field corn, millet, sorghum and
Kafir corn decrease rapidly in protein
content while heading out. The per-
centage of crude fiber also decreases

probably due to the rapid accumula-
ton OF starch and sugars in the plant
juices at that time. as shown by the
increased proportion Of nitrogen-free
extract. In order to obtain fodder
having as narrow ratio Of flesh-form-
ing foods as possible, the crop should
be cut at as early stage as 1t can be
well cured. For roughage to be fed
in connection with highly heterogeneous
foods it may well be allowed to grow
until seeds are formed. After that
period, however the stalks rapidly be-
come woody and the proportion of
waste is greatly increased.
No very significant change in COM
position of the cowpeas is apparent
This years experience would seem to
indicate that consideration of chemical
composition is of minor importance in
the selection Of the proper stage for
harvesting this crop for fodder. AS
compared with the other folders
analyzed this year. this one is by far
the most desirable on account Of its
high proportion of heterogeneous ma
terial and small percentage Of diff
Guilty digestible fiber.

Hill or Level Culture.

Under perfect conditions OF soil as
relates to drainage level culture is
best. But there is SO li.tl. land where
the conditions Of drainage are perfect
that some hillirg is necessary. So
our forefathers were not far wrong
when they hilled up everything. In
their day drainage of any kind was
unusual except such as was given by
surface bitches. When the corn was
hilled up a natural drain was left by
the removal of the dirt. This condi-
ton helped matters every time there
was a freshet. The man that has q
heavy soil that has no artificial drain
age must hill or ridge up to save his
crop in the case Of a heavy fall OF
water. Even though the land be high
or rolling heavy soil needs some
treatment of this kirc. Clayey hill
sides hold water to such an extent
that crops are often lost from too
much water. The usual inference is
that the drainage is good because
there is slope. This is a mistake.
as heavy clay holds water for a very
long period unless there be means for
drawing it away from beneath In
case of heavy clay on hillside being
underlaid with -ravel or sand we have
a condition that may be counted as an
exception. Who're the land is sandy
of course level culture may be fol-
lowed, unless there are obstructions
to the draining away Of the water

HUSBAND ARRESTED.
William Klump, of Lowell, Mich,
Charged with Poisoning
His Wife.

Grand Rapids, Mich, March 1O.-La-
test Developments in the investiga-
ton into the death ofMrs. Ada Klump,
the young wife of William Klump, of
Lowell, point to one of the most cold
FLOODED murders Michigan has ever
known. After diligent inquiry into
the circumstances of the case Sheriff
Chapman Friday afternoon took Will
liam Klump into custody and lodged
him in Jail here. The officers express
the belief that Klump either sent the
deadly powders through the mail him
self or knew who did send them, and
that the main object was the removal
OF Mrs. Klump. The theory is that the
doctored powders were substituted
for the real headache and harmless
powders and that they were sent to
several persons in the village for the
purpose of throwing the blame upon
the manufacturers of the headache
remedy and thus divert suspicion from
the sender of the poison.
hlump was interviewed at the Jail.
he IS about 81. years of age. He de-
CARED he was entirely innocent of the
charge on which he was arrested. He
said he had no knowledge of what the
alleged sample headache powders
contained or from whence they came
He got the envelope containing the
powder addressed to his wife at the
Lowell post office with some other
mail, and brought it to the house, sup
posing it was an ordinary advertising
sample. He denied the truth of the
reports that he had been attentive
to another woman, or that there was
any reason for his wanting his wife
out of the way.

Some one had said that there are

This was followed by some one else

I went with her to the Simpkinses
once-you are all familiar with their
peculiar ideas on decoration-and
she never spoke an intelligent word
while we were there. Once outside,
she clutched my arm. "Did you see

in on her one afternoon. She was

hanging over one corner of that

milkweed pods. Mrs. Firstly caught
my look and bit her lip. The Dol

panied them to the front door.
heard it close with a bang, and al
most simultaneously Mrs. Firstly
rushed madly into the library,
snatched the canvas thing off the pic
ture and hurled it forcibly under the
divan.
There she said, thank heaven

Christmas present, and I've been
waiting for them to call for two
weeks"

Robbed the State Prison.

Andrew Anderson, released from the
penitentiary on Feb. S, after serving
a five-year term for grand larceny, was
arraigned in the municipal court at
Saltwater, charged with burglarizing
w. B. & w. G. Jordan's shoe warehouse
in the prison yards.
Anderson freely admits the crime,
and says that after his release from
prison he formed the plan of burglar
Saltwater fresh from term in the
workhouse in Minneapolis, and scaled
the prison walls, carefully making his
way to guardhouse on the wall. Here
he found rope which was used to haul
wood to the guardhouse. Hand over
hand he let himself down into the prison
yards and avoided the night guard on
his rounds by hiding. He entered the
warehouse and took three cases of
shoes, or thirty-six pairs. These he
carried to the wall, fastened two of the
cases to the rope, again scaled the wall
and hauled up his plumber. Descend
ing again he tied the third case to the
rope, and as before pulled it to the top
without discovery. He then went over
the outer wall and conveyed the stolen
goods to an old paint shop belonging
to the car company and standing on
the banks of Lake st. Croix.
Warden Wolfer and men who have
had long experience with all phases of
crime are amazed at the reckless dar-
ing displayed by the former convict.
