MURDER ON WATERBURY CAR;

Policeman Killed. Motorman and Conducs
Z tor Assaulted, Supposedly by Strikers.
Waterbury, Conn.-violence again
broke out in the street railway strike
trouble. Policeman Paul Mendelsohn
was shot and killed. John w. Cham
bers, a non-union motorman, and his
conductor, George Weberndorfer, were
beaten, the latter almost into insensi-
bility. The scene Of the crime was a
lonely spot.
The notice of the trouble anne with
out any warning to the public, though
it is said the police knew a mob was
forming. On instructions from the
Chief of Police, Mendelsohn boarded a
car on which he noticed a disturbance.
AS he got inside men came mysterious
ly from all directions, and 500 sur
rounded the car.
Two Of the mob planted themselves
directly in front Of the car, threhten-
ing to shoot the motorman if he started
it. He put his hand on the lever, when
one Of the men stepped to one side and
fired. Apparently this was a signal,
and several other shots were fired.
Mendelsohn was seen to sink back
ward. The conductor and motorman
were then assaulted, after which the
mob dispersed in all directions.

Gods Opportunity.

Some one has said that leach human life
is another opportunity for God to display
His grace and power" So it is and the
thought will grow upon you as you medi-
tate upon it. just think, 81 am Gods OPP
p%ortunity," Isn't.it wonderful Isn't it
glorious! When we look at others whom
God has richly blessed and honored in ser
vice We can see how it is, but do we ever
think of ourselves as Gods opportunity?
Every one that responds to Gods call,
"Comei" gives God a large place N the
world. Every one who obeys Gods COM
mand, "Go!" assists God in gaining a larg-
er place in the hearts of men. Every re
generated heart and life is a new garden in
which God plants His seeds of love and
grace; a fountain out of which flow con-
slant streams of healing power. Take it
home and say to yourself, II am Gods cp-
~portunity." Be that, and your life viii be-
come unutterably grand, and your exper-
ience unspeakably sweet. Presbyterian

London's Kinkaiou.

A new specimen of this curious lit
tie bear-like creature from South
America has just been added to the
collection Of live beasts in the Regents
Park. The kinkajou has the odd char
acter Of looking like almost anything
in the mammalian line rather than
that which it actually is. The older
biologists suspected it to be a lemur,
by virtue probably of its large eyes
and generally lemur-like head. It is,
however, Of the bear kind, and lives
among trees, holding fast by it's pre-
hensile tail. Ii the tail be grasped in

feat there is perhaps no further need
its merits to disclose. = Westminster

A Dry Feed From skim.Milk.

"A OAy HOCu 0AIule Nkl1ks
By taking dried curd made from
skiin-milk and pulverizing it, the dairy
man may find a most profitable use for
his skim-milk in thus providing for the
necessary digestible protein in the IA
ton of his COWS. This reduced curd,
according to Professor H. 3. Hayward,
OF Pennsylvania, closely resembles
white corn meal. 1t contains about
seyenty-five per cent. protein, or nearly
twice as much as cottonseed meal. 1t
is easily and cheaply made and will
keep indefinitely. A ration composed
of ten pounds mixed hay, thirty-fve
pounds silage, five pounds corn meal
and n and a half pounds dried curd
would conform closely to the feeding
standard and have a nutritive ratio
of 1:6 to IL. He further says: have
fed enough of this dried curd as part
OF a mixed ration to know the cows
will eat it, that it has no apparent ill
effect upon the animal, and q casual
observation would seem to indicate
that it sustains the flow of milk. OF
course, the feeding of dried curd is not
unqualifedly recompended, but is sug-
gested by Professor Hayward as
worthy of investigation by those who
pay heavy feed bills and who base a
good supply Of Skim-milk.

of the rigid rules is to sow q certain

the stand be light the cause is ascribed
to everything but the seed. The fact
is that seed should be used more lib
orally, as much of it is destroyed in
various ways before termination, the
saving in seed causing a loss of clover.
Another point is TO harrow the wheat,
seed down the clover and then use a
roller on the land. Yhe better the
preparation for clover the more seeds

ket where she had been lying with
her mother and followed me into the

ing warningly, and, taking it up by
the neck, replaced it in the basket.
Again l called it, and again it came at
my call. This time the mother growl-
ing still more threateningly. followed
us again; but this time she seized the
kitten by the tail instead of the neck,
evidently as a punishment, and pulled
it roughly along, the kitten mewing
h~elplessly. For a third time I called,
and once more 1t came to me; but this
time the mother was silent. She came,
took up the kitten, dragged it off, and
then began to bite it again and again
in order to secure it's obedience. This
method was successful, and the next
time I called it was in vain"

Practical Farming.

NO FARMER can progress unless lie is
willing to study and learn. In all oc-
equations theory is a mighty factor, for
education is considered essential to sue
cess. The farmer of to-day who main
tains that only practical farming is
worthy OF his consideration, and who
belleves that his sons can learn all that
is necessary about farming on the
farm itself, daily witnesses the sons of
those outside of farming deriving
knowledge at institutes in which in
structions in mechanics are impaired.
The best engineers, machinists and
w~ood-workers endeavor to enter their
sons in schools or colleges, at which
they can be taught all that is possible
from a theoretical standpoint. The
farmer has kept himself back by his
opposition to theoretical farming, the
"book farmer" being, to him, one ut
terly destitute of knowing anything
except to expend his money foolishIy
in the effort to accomplish an impossi-
bility. The farmer, however, is a close
observer Of operations, for, while he
Will not become a pioneer and gives
no encouragement to those working
outside Of practical lines, he quickly
secures the benefits derived through
the efforts of the experimenter. OF
course, all farmers are not alike. for
some of them are progressive; but
many prefer to wait for developments.
and when they become convinced that
a change in the methods of farming is
necessary, will accept the inevitable
and endeavor to improve. The class
known as READERS" has made MANY
sacrifices in the effort to improve the
breeds Of live stock, the greatest OBJ
stacle to progress being the indiffer-
ence Of farmers. But the breeders
went on with their work, every year
witnessing an advance in the improve
ment of horses, cattle, sheep and swine.
Records were made and live stock went
up in prices, and where before an ami
NAL was sold at only a nominal sum,
prices rose ten to a hundred-fold. While
the farmers were oblivious to the work
OF the breeders, the latter class was
making rapid Roadway. To-day hun
dreds Of farmers are breeders. and
their farms are operated on the most
scientific methods known. The result
of the combination of practice and
theory has increased the value Of live
stock in the United States to thousands
where formerly the figures were given
in hundreds, and the increase in the
yield Of crops has also been very
marked. What is more important,
however. is that the fertility of the
farms is now much greater than be.
