ROOT CROPS Fo2 COWS.

While there is no question about the
value Of root crops FOR cows Il must
not be considered that they may con-
stitutc any considerable portion of the
ration That is, because rot crops are
fed several times weekly there ought
not TO be any material cutting down
or the grain or roughage ration. The
rootSrop will assist the milk now. but
their main value is for regulating the
bowels ana furnishing that variety in
the ration which is needed 10 keep up
the appetite.
In feeding carrots, mauglcs and like
roots It Is an excellent plan tn feed

Made Today.
HE EXPECTS LIGHT SENTENCE

Paul Herbert Schmidt, the ls-year-old
German who has been here in the county
Jail pending the arrival OF Connecticut
officers to take him back to that state
to stand trial for the murder of VIM.
Taylor near sherman, Conn, on August
~. 1904, was taken from Paducah at
noon today by II. c. Allen, deputy sher-
in Of Fairfield county, Connecticut, and
Officer Edward Cronan, of Bridgeport,
Conn, the county seat Of Fairfield.
The two Connecticut officers arrived
last night at O'Clock from sherman.
and came via. Frankfort, where they Sc
cured requisition papers for the return
of the prisoner to their state.
This morning Schmidt was brought
into police court and recognized by Judge
Sanders in the sum of $500 for his APP
pearance before the grand jury at the
December term Of court. and after this
merely formal step was taken, Schmidt
and the officers went upstairs TO the cir
cult court room, and Judge Reed held a
Lrief trial to fully establish the identity
CT Schmidt, and then turned him over
to the officers who had come for him.
Schmidt in police court did not seem
10 understand what was going to be done
&c him, and when IL ige Sanders recog-
nized him, appeared to be bewildered.

When asked any question he would

every one who has looked at Schmidt

Officer Cronan knows VIM. Crittenden,
who is a manufacturer of bitters, cor

Taylor, the murdered man, lived on
Long Island. and was about 50 years old.
Deputy Sheriff Allen says that Schmidt
will be taken to bridgeport, the county
seat, and jailed.
Schmidt thinks he will get a short
term, but the officers say it means the

that he thought he deserved about five

A motorman on the depot line run 9
night or two ago had q bad scare, the
result Of joke played on him by
friends.
The motomran has . sweetheart on
his run and he would often stop his
car, when he wss running ahead Of
time, land he ran ahead Of time at
every opportunity to get a drink Of
water at the youp lsdy's house.
Now It sssms y has rival who
had also been worshipping at the
same SHRINE foy sometime, and this
rival was very much jealous of the
motormsn. Friends Of the motormAn
warned him Of the rivals attentions
and incidentally remarked threats Of
shooting had been heard. The motor
man was informed OF the bad reputa-
tion for shooting his rival had. and
was thoroughly scared up. On the
night in question friends told him
that the rival intended shooting him,
and that he had better watch out.
When his car turned a curve and
approached the residence Of his sweet
heart, several loud reports in pretty
quick succession were heard, and i'm
mediately the young man turned on
tho Juice" and ran by several wait.
ing passengers at the next corner. He
thought he had been shot at, but the
explosions were from several railroad
torpedoes placed on the track by the
friends who psrpetrated the joke.
