HATFIELDS AT WAR.
Noted Feudists Break Out in Deadly
Struggle Again-Against the
Duty Family.

Roanoke, Va, Nov 2S.-The notorious
Hatfield band has broken forth again anc
another reign Of terror is promised.
This time the Hatfelds are at war with
a family named Duty, living on Pigeon
creek, IN Mingo county. Already two
lives, one from each side, have been sacri

:, Harvey. Duty, head of the Duty fam
!ly, mas nine grown sons who are agitat
ing the feud with the Hatfields. The
Dutys once were the stanchest friends OF
the Hatheld gang and aided them in their
Teud against the McCoys.
Start of the Trouble.
The trouble originated with George
Hensley, who married Mary Hatfield
daughter of Devil Anse. Hensley lived
with "DeviP' Anse on Island Greek. Be
cause ne had become one Of the Hatfield
gang he sought to terrorize the Duty
boys.
On election day Hensley announced
that before sunset he would kill Morgan
and Jake Duty. He went in ambush for
them a mile from their home, but the
Dutys learned of Hensley's plan and
crept up and killed him from behind
Devil Anse and Cap Hatfield found
tracks that led to the Duty home. Step
ping suddenly within, they demanded the
surrender Of the brothers. Instead of
surrendering the ten Duty boys seized
Their rifles and made the Hatfelds drop
their guns and leave. The Hatfield band
was aroused because it's two leaders had
been dIsgraced, and swore vengeance.
Duty Boy Is Murdered.
A few nights ago John Daniels, a col
league Of the Hatfelds. retaliated by
numbering Marion DUTY, youngest of the

The Hatfelds have led rather an I'M
eventful life since 1897, when Aaron
Hatfield married Mary Mccoy and
brought comparative peace.
Forty Fell in Vendetta.
While the Hatfeld-McCoy feud lasted
it extended through nearly thirty years
more than forty were killed. Of the
Hatfelds, the only desperate members
of the band left are Devil Anse," Bot
and Gap" Of the McCoys only one re
mains, and he now is a resident Of pike
vile. The feud started over the pos
session of a hog.

Cleaning of Milk Cans.


In most farm homes it is not con-
venient to use steam for cleaning milk
cans, but where it can be obtained 1t is
by far the most effective cleansing
agent. In Germany an experiment was
made to determine the relative value
o. the ordinary methods of cleaning
milk cans as compared with live
steam. One can was thoroughly wash
ed and scrubbed out with hot water.
Another can was rinsed and washed
and then subjected to live steam for
thirty minutes. After both cans were
thoroughly cooled, milk was put into
them and the results watched. In the
first can the milk soured In twenty
three hours. In the other it soured in
twenty-eight and a half hours. That
was not ALL An examination Of the
contents of the two cans showed that
the first can contained twenty-siX
times as many bacteria as the other.
The experiment referred to was made
In the summer time. A similar expert
ment made In winter showed that the
sterilized can kept milk sweet nine
hours longer than the other can. It
was further ascerta1ned that If pas
teurized milk was put in these cans
1t kept sweet twice as long in the
steamed can as in the other.-Prairie

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 2S.-Rescued
after nine days work at the pumps to
keep their waterlogged craft afoat, the
crew of ten men of the barkentine

steamship Homer. Their abandoned ship
was left to drift derelict
The Quickstep first got in trouble on
November Is and from that date it was
in a waterlogged condition with the fore
castle and aft ca bin stove in, the boats
smashed, and all the provisions wet. The
steering gear was washed away, and the

HOUSE FOR SMALL FLOCK.

OF the same area. If built new one
roof will cover both house and shed.
The window may be placed in the
front Of the house with the door, or the
door may open into the scratching
shed, as preferred. In cold weather
the fowls in the scratching shed are
protected from wind and storm by
a curtain made Of heavy muslin which
is let down over the opening. All
feeding is done in the scratching shed,
the house being reserved for roosting
and laying. The cut shows the sim
plicity and utility of the house describ-

The Poultry House.

There is more or less objection to the
scratching shed on the part of poul-
try raisers and it Is admitted that in
sections where the fowls can have con-
siderable time out of doors during
the winter, this shed may not be nee
essary. But when the birds are raised
in localities where there is consider
able snow on the ground during the
winter the scratching shed is certain
ly a comfort. for it gives the birds a
place in which they may scratch with
out being exposed to wind and wet.
An ideal house Is one that is four
feet In the rear, eight feet high in
front, with house ten feet wide and
fifteen feet deep and shed attached

We Are Eating More Mutton.

More mutton is being consumed in
this country than ever before in It's
history This Is because there are
more people in the country and be-
cause the mutton is Of better quality.
The deduction which the situation
seems to warrant is that the man who
engages in sheep breeding in the right
way and stays with it Is practically
sure Of making good money. AS time
goes on it becomes more and more ap-
parent that mutton and lamb are fash
ionable meats among the American
people.

Suggestions to Sheep Raisers.
Sheep are almost essential in main
tanning the fertility and cleanliness
of the land.
Keep the quarters clean. Sheep TO
not need the accumulation Of manure
to keep them warm.
To have good-sized sheep. they must
be grown rapidly while young, and 1t
Is important to give them a good
start.
When sheep lose patches of wool
from their heads or bellies, it indicates
q feverish condition, and is usually
the result Of improper feeding.
Sheep thin in flesh have a weak df-
gestion, but even the strongest are
easily injured by grain too heavily.
1t makes considerable difference In
the quality and strength of the wool

warm, dry quarters, In order to avoid
losses. Keep the ewes in good,

The Country Press.

From the Milwaukee Journal
Only he who looks over the state
press can form any adequate idea OF
the amount of effort put forth by the
local press in each community for
its upbuilding and betterment in all
directions. The paper in some cases
may not be much as newspaper
and still less as an organ of public
opinion. But as an advocate of every
enterprise tending to the growth
and prosperity of its town, it is at
it's post and interchangeable.
The metropolitan dailies are easily
obtainable for all who wish them and
they give the news of the world.
But local business and interests de-
pend for voice on the local papers,
give Importance to the community,
gives it individuality and common
interest. To this part OF public
service the~local paper must, assid-
nously devote itse If tomerit place.
To do this some things are nee
essary. The people about must take
the paper, for no paper can be con-
Quoted without readers. It must
not be left to struggle in despera-
ton against hope and debt. The
subscribers must pay, each his little
bill, that the paper may meet its
obligations in a business way and
know what it's real means are.
The merchants and deglers of all
kinds must make it point to see
that their community is we'll repre-
sented with paid advertisements,
not alone for their immediate profit,
but that local pride may be- stimu-
lated and business OF all kinds may
be drawn their way and the atten'
ton of the people of its tributary
territory may be attracted to them
as alive and doing business. i
Join to .this cash policy; pay
ment promptly in good moneysfoI
ell subscriptions and advertisements.
And still more, pay cash for al
purchases. A cash basis IL the only
solid foundation for business. Then
no panic need be feared, no bad sea
SOC will utterly ruin, and every mar
can regulate his expense by bis
means that he may fall into no trap
This policy would mean no more
to the papers and the merchant thar
to the farmer and mechanic. But
we are now speaking for the loca
newspapers. If your local news
paper is slow, pay it cash and ther
stir it up to better things by encour
agement and prosperity. If still thu
publishers fail, more enterprisine
managers will seek the place.
Will every town and village in th'
state take this advice to heart? An,
way, think it over carefully.
