RAILROAD ACCIDENT
Car Repairer Frank Krush
Killed In the Yards

On Wednesday morning be-
tween eight and nine o'clock
fatal accident occurred in the
railroad yards at this place. The
Sisseton train, with Conductor
Cinclaire aud Engineer Defeld,
was being made up, and while
switching near the oil tanks on
the passing track, Frank Krush,
the car repairer, attempted to
cross the track in. front of the
moving cars which were being
backed. He had been walking
in the same direction as the cars
were going, and as they ap-
preached he endeavored to cross
the track. The trainmen yelled
at the man but he failed to hear,
and just as he had about sue
ceeded in getting over he was
caught by the car and was
knocked down, the wheels pass
ing over and crushing both of
his legs, the right below the
knee and the left at the hip. He
was carried up to DR.. Ferguson s
Office, and the work of dressing
and amputating the limbs was
proceeded with, DR.. Ferguson
being assisted by Drs. Kriesel
and Jacotel. The mangled limbs
had bled freely and the unfortu-
nate man was too weak to stand
the shock of the operation, and
he died a little before noon.
Krush had been employed as car
repairer at this station for
several months past, was a sober
and Industrious man, about "a
years of age and we'll thought of
by his fellow employees. His
parents live at Stevens Point,
Wis. 1t is said that he had made
arrangements to quit railroad
work, intending to go into busi-
ness in some Minnesota town.
Word was sent to friends at
Stevens Point, and his father,
Michael Krush, arrived yester-
day afternoon to take the remains
to Wisconsin for burial.

Protect Fowls From Lice.

From Farmers Review: The pro-
lection Of fowls from lice is one of
the essential points in raising poul-
try, especially in getting show birds.
l find by close observation during my
recent years of experience along this
line that there are two different fam
lilies Of these troublesome pests. The
small mites that are found about and
on the roosts and the large lice that
breed on the fowls. The last men
toned are not very hard to get rid of
if each fowl is busted literally with
some good insect powder occasional
ly. A convenient time to apply this
is after they have gone to roost The
hst mentioned are the ones that take
persistent effort to keep down. The
following rules strictly adhered to are
as good as l have been able to find:
First, clean your house thoroughly of
dropplngs. litter and cobwebs. etc.,
and burn plenty of birthstone in it.
Then whitewash it, using plenty of
carbolic acid in the mixture Then.
after scalding roosts with hot water.
paint them with lice paint and you
have a clean house. Keep dropping
boards clean every day and have
roosts painted over every two or
three weeks, and the victory is al
most If not entirely won. II one uses
an incubator he need not be bothered
with lice on young chickens, but with
hens the battle is on. These are my
plans, which l find are very success
full: Dust the hen when set thorough
ly with insect powder, then again the
third week. and then again when done
tatching, also all the little fellows,
and put in a coop that you feel sure
iG free OF lice. Cleanliness, first, last
and all the time, is the prevention
which is worth several pounds of
cure.-P. B. Harshman, Moultrie

A Boys Diplomacy.

Carl, a youngster OF ten summers,
had been put to bed Immediately after
luncheon, and had been told that he
must remain there all afternoon doing
penance for q misdemeanor Of which
he had been guilty. He is very fond
of having his mother read to him
when he is an exile Of this sort, but
the offense Of which he had been gull
ty on this particular occasion was so
grave that he hesitated about asking
his mother to lessen the punishment
by reading to him.
Finally he called an older sister
into the room and prevailed upon her
to carry card to their mother. On
the card was written:

Law Of Treasure Trove."

Not long ago 6,775 English silver
pennies, which some man had boarded
up for his own benfit in times when
pennies were silver. were sold to the
public at auction in London, real
izing $500 for the national treasury
This money was dug up by some
laborers at Colchester while laying
the foundations of building The
crown stepped in and seized the find,
but it rewarded the finders, and
few rare coins in the collection were
sent 10 the British museum. When
the hoard was found the price of these
silver pennies went down in all the
coin collectors markets. This strange
and not particularly reasonable law
of treasure trove" has extended
from England to France, Germany

hidden treasure and conceals it for
His own use he is liable to fine and

CHAPTER xI.-continued.

Then my lord withdrew to his little
dungeon of cabin, and the two cap
tains went on deck to pace a while
and smoke after their morning repast.
Dreadful as was the state OF Lord
Fitzgibbon 1t was not to last much
longer, for in the morning watch a
sail right ahead was reported by the
man en- the lookout. Grindal knew
bis duty. The captain was not yet
turned out. The boatswain stepped
below and knocked Popes cabin door,
Halo" roared Pope.
"A sail right ahead, sir" answered
Grindal.
Trim SAIL" cried Pope, "and keep
your friend right under your flying
jibboom-end."
"Ay, ay. sir"
The boatswain returned on deck,
and in very few minutes Captain
Pope stood by his side with his brill
liant telescope at his eye.
"She shall take my lord" said
Pope, aloud, but to himself. "Grindal,
we want to make nothing off our

Tom with blank cartridge; he must
be brought to a stand"
little while after the gun was
fired the stranger swung her fore
topsail with reel of her whole shape
that made you think of man stag

Earl strobe up to Pope and said:
DO you intend to speak that YES

Il hope. my lord. to transfer you to
her. answered Pope. lifting his hat
and making a low bow.
But, Captain Pope, she is sailing
into the Atlantic"
'She shall tell us her destination, :"
exclaimed Pope with an engaging
smile. And while he spoke the Gypsy
foated abreast of the little brigan-
tine, whose name, writ large upon her
stern, was the Catesby Of Sunder-

Care of Sheep.

A Canadian shepherd says: The
lamb crop, like any other, to be sue
cessful, must be prepared for before
hand; therefore, as the breeding sea-
son approaches the ewes ought to be
getting in good condition, and it can
not be done easier than by giving
them the run Of the stubble-fields
after the grain is stacked. Before the
breeding season is over the winter
will have set in, and the flock will be
in their winter quarters. No elabo-
rate building is necessary. A hay
rack running round the inside. with
small door in the center, Just large
enough for one sheep to 60 in and
out when the big door Is shut. 1t
must be dry and entirely free from
drafts for the sheep to do we'll; 3Ox6O
feet will be ample accommodation for
a hundred sood-sized ewes, until
lambing time. The winter feed should
be wild hay, oat straw or oat sheaves
They may be allowed to run at the
oat stack, il care is taken to remove
the overhanging portions as they eat
it away from under, to prevent the
char from getting into their wool
The hay is fed in the rack inside, and
only what they will eat up clean. Al
ways clean out the racks before the
next feeding. I have often heard it
said that sheep won't drink water,
but that is mistake; they will drink
large quantities OF water at the right
time and place. They won't drink
out Of water hole on cold day. but
watered in their pens and in troughs,
a hundred head will drink almost two
barrels day. I think good water is
most important. Keep salt where they
can get 1t at all times. summer and

Food for Infants,

All infants over months old arti-
ficially fed in the Nursery and Chlds
hospital. New York, during the past
four months were given stronger food
especially stale bread soaked in boil
ing water until thoroughly softened,
when the water was poured off and
cup of milk added and this boiled for
three or four minutes. After being
sweetened and cooled sufficiently it is
fed to the baby. At first a teaspoon
full once a day is given. but as the in
fant becomes accustomed to it the
amount is increased so that at the
end of ten days it is receiving one to
two or three ounces daily. 1t Is given
between the regular bottle hours, and
never more than half an ounce at a
time. II curds appear in the stools or
if it disagrees it is discontinued.

The Guinea Hen and Hawks.

1t is superstition that few gui.,
nea hens in flock of fowls will keep.
away hawks, and some farmers pur-
chase the Guinea fowls for this pur--
pose. But it is doubtful If they have.
any value at all fo- this purpose. A
poultryman that breeds them says
that it is mistake, and that hawks.
care nothing for them. This is prob
ably the case. Thus another popular
belief is shattered. The Guinea hen
is also credited with being a good
Watchdog. setting up great clatter
on the approach of midnight maraud-
crs. The facts in the case seem to be-
that the Guinea hen frequently takes
it into her head to set up a clatter
whether there are marauders or not.
This is, however. nothing against Gui-
nea hens, as they are producers of
very edible flesh and are very profita-
BILE to raise. Doubtless they will re-
ceive more attention from breeders
in the future than they have received
in the past.

Raise More Pigs.

When pigs are handled in a proper
way they prove profitable to the farm
er. There are ways of handling and
feeding that will make them unproflt-
able and there are ways of handling
that will make them profitable. The
variety to be kept will often deter
mine the results. When there is little
pasture for them the number kept
should be small, as pigs fed a ration
of grain only cannot generally yield
a profit. 1t is possible to have SO
many pigs that they will be unproflt-
able; but the trouble is generally the
other way. Not enough pigs are be-
ing raised on American farms. The
farmers are all too generally depend
ing on one crop of pigs a year to
give them a profit. The high cost of
winter feed has stimulated this move.
ment; but the process should be re.
versed. We must have more fall pigs
and use our wits in getting cheap feed
for them.

Mixed Rations for Farm Horsea

Many horse feeders regard oats as
almost necessary. and it is doubtless
true that in large regions OF the Unit
ed States the most common ration lor
horses consists OF oats and hay, with
an occasional bran mash. In the
South and West corn seems to be the
most common feed, especially In rural
districts. Many experiments have
been reported which support the
theory that horses may be satisfac-
torily fed and reasonable combination
OF wholesome materials which supplies
the required nutrients in due proper
ton. In other words, protein and en-
ergy are required by the animal body
rather than any special feed. Beiiev-
ing that more horses should be raised
and that an economic system OF Feed
ing would be an incentive to horse
breeders. C. W. Burkett of the New
Hampshire Station. recently studied
the comparative value Of number OF
mixed rations with the station farm
horses during period Of two years.
The rations were SO planned that an
abundance Of nutritive material was
supplied by grain mixtures which were
cheaper than oats. Throughout the
greater part of the experimental period
hay was fed with the grain. During
part Of the time corn fodder was
used. The comparative merits Of the
following five rations were studied in
the first test: Hay 10 pounds, bran 2
pounds, corn 6 pounds, and gluten feed
pounds; hay 10, bran 2, corn 6, oats
8; hay 10. corn 8. and bran Z; hay 10.
corn 8, linseed oil meal A. and hay 10,
cottonseed meal /, bran 2 and corn g.
Each Of the five horses included in the
investigation received one of the ra
tions for one month, the rations being
of the test each horse was fed all the
rations. The following were some OF
the conclusions arrived at:
Any food stun or combination Of
food stuffs furnishing the desirable
nutrient at least cost should be con-
sidered in preparing rations for horses.
A mixture of bran and corn, half and
half, is a good substitute for corn
and oats for feeding work horses.
Corn stover is a gooo substitute for
timothy hay for winter feeding of
horses because of its feeding value,
the yield per acre and commercial
value. A change from a grain mix
ture, consisting partially of linseed
oil meal, slowly or abruptly, does not
cause decrease Of weight in horses
if proper substitute ration is fed.
The average total cost per year for
actual food supply per horse was
$74.32. The average cost for food per
hours work done during two years
was 3.4 cents.
