KEEP UP DA1RY1NG.
In Time. Of Adyer.lty and Depre ssion
the Cow L. the Farmers Most
Reliable Standby.

In times of prosperity it is we'll not
to forget the days of adversely that
we have seen and may see again. To-
day there is money in almost any kind
of farming. More money can be made
in raising beef and pork perhaps than
in making butter, but this is condi-
tion that belongs to prosperity. When
the gloomy days come, and the pig
and the steer cease to return profit,
is the time when the COW is found to be
standby. The profit she returns in
prosperity and in adversely is not a
large one but it is a profit neverthe-
less and not to be despised. It is very
noticeable at time when other things
are returning losses. So at this time
the COW should not be forgotten. Many
man will have to fall back on her yet.
During the hard times of few years
ago thousands of men went to milk
ing cows that had never done so be-
fore. But they discovered then that
they had not been preparing their
herds for that possibility and conse-
quently had to milk cows that gave
them very little profit. They had been
in the past breeding to beef bulls and
had calves of mixed blood. They then
wished they had saved their best
calves for mixers. Yet after the clouds
had passed away they forgot all about
their former experiences and went to
selling their good cows and good calves
and breeding dairy cows to beef bulls.
They are likely to repeat their old
mistake ard experience the old re-
grets. What should be done at this
time is to keep the best dairy cows and
breed them to the best dairy bulls, re-
tanning their calves if they show signs
of developing into good mixers. In
this way fairly good lot of cows will
be ready for work when needed. It is
sad to relate that at this time even
good cows are being sent to the butch
er, the owner having become fixed in
the idea that prosperity is henceforth
to be perpetual.-Farmers' Review.

FAMILY OF THREE DEAD.
Former st. Loufsan Left Note Saying
His Wife Killed Their Baby
Boy and Herself.

Cincinnati. March 23.-A mysterious
tragedy here at the home of A. M.
Betty, local manager of the Wash
burn Crosby mills of Minneapolis, has
come to light The dead bodies of A.
NJ. Betty. his wife Lulu and their boy
Harry. aged 20 months, were found by
neighbors Sunday night. A note writ
ten by Betty was found in which he
accused his wife of killing the babe,
and the police think the woman may
have killed herself and babe on ac-
count of domestic troubles. 1t is
stated that divorce proceedings had
been instituted two years ago and
were withdrawn before the birth of
their boy. Betty, it is thought, found
the dead bodies on his return home
last night and then deliberately took
his own life. The body of the babe
was found in the basin with no marks
on it whatever. 1t is thought that
Betty took it from the crib and tried
to revive it by turning on the water.
When he found it dead he lay down
beside his wife's dead body TO die
from asphyxia ton, and in that posi-
ton their bodies were found. The
odor of the gas led to the search that
disclosed the three dead bodies.
While there are indefinite reports
about Betty's troubles ut home he
was prominent in business circles

Wis and others. The giving way OF
this levee floods the section around
Brunswick with overflow water Ia
conjunction with back water from
Steele's bayou This had been an
ticipated to some extent several days
ago. but it is reported that macys head
of stock will be lost II is evident
that some trouble is expected below
here on the Louisiana side, as there
is a rapid movement of stock from
behind the levees about Kelloggs
Landing. From Lake Providence,
Mayersville and other points above,
very favorable and hopeful reports
have been received, the fine dry
weather giving the levee defenders
chance to get in effective work. The
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley track
above Yazoo bridge is reported ten
inches under water for distance
of eight miles, and trains are oper
ated with great difficulty. While
the officlias are hopeful of keeping
up communication, it looks very much
as if trouble similar to Lake View is
ahead of them at that point.
officers of the steamer City of st.
Joseph, which reached here this af
ternoon from Greenville, report crit
ical state of anairs along the Issa-
quena county front. All along the
line the water is almost level with
the crown of the levees and at several
points it is stopping over. New work
is sloughing badly and at Filters a
great cave mas appeared in the old
levee. Into this cavity 1000 sacks
filled with sand have been dumped
without perceptible effect.

RUNNING DOWN sWINDLERs.
Italian Under Arrest COpfesses His
Part in Million Dollar Insur-
ance Frauds in New York.

Pittsburg. Pa. March 23.-New York
detectives who came here to locate
several persons connected with the
million-dollar insurance frauds IN
that city have completed their work.
With the aid of the local detective
bureau they found one of the indict-
ed men in the person OF Casimiro Cic-
cone, an Italian. 50 years old, for
whom the New York officers had a
bench warrant. Ciccone's life, it is
said. was insured for $4,000 three
years ago, and a year later body al
legged to be his was buried in Calvary
cemetery, New York.
Ciccone had been living at 250s First
avenue, and since his supposed death
has been kept in hiding in several
different places. He has been in this
city about six months. The insurance
on his life was paid.
When insured Cieeone was. it is
said, represented as being 81 years
old. The detectives say Gccone
signed statement confessing that he
was the subject of the insurance and
declaring that he received money
consideration for mis- part in the af-
fair. The prisoner is too feeble to re-
move to New York and the detectives
carried back with 1hcm a physicians
certificate stating that the old man
could hardly live six months longer.
