Body OF New Castle Man
Who Disappeared Found

ACCIDENTAL DROWNING, VERDICT

The body Of John W. Proudht, who dis
appeared while canoeing on the Delaware
river near New Castle en- November 3, 1903
was discovered floating on the wafer near
Battery Park, that city. yesterday ar
ternoon by Charles Congers, a fisherman.
Its identity was established beyond @
doubt.
Charles Conyers. Robert Lynch, David
Smith, Thomas McDonough and Joseph
Shilling, all fishermen, were in the vicin-
tty OF the net racks when Conyers noticed
an object floating in the river about two
hundred yards from the beach.
What IS that floating yonder?" he said,
pointing out the object to Lynch.
1T cooks like the body of a man." re-
piled Lynch. shading his eyes with his
hand and gazing in the direction, of the
figure which could be seen when 1t rose
on the swell. 1t was about 1890 O'Clock
and near flood tide, but uhe wind was putt
ting in shore so the fishermen knew
that the subject OF their curiosity would
be carried in. They waited until it had
stranded In the shallow water when
Lynch. Smith and Shilling donned their
rubber boots and waded out until they
reached the body. They gathered up the
CHASTITY burden and half carried, half
dragged it to shore, where they wrapped

Cattle Everyone Wants.

1t will pay the farmer best to raise
the kind of cattle that everyone
wants, but most farmers that are pro-
ducing cattle at all are raising the
ones that nobody wants. These latter
find a market, but it is at reduced
price. In fact the price has to be
made low as an inducement to the
buyers to make bids on the kind of
animals they are not particularly
looking for. That most growers of
cattle are satisfied with the kind of
animals they are sending to market
is doubtless true. They have made
money on cattle and so are not par
ticular to improve their stock. They
have never figured out how much
more could have been made on the
kind of cattle that everyone wants.
The buyers of cattle at the stock
yards are constantly on the lookout
for the best cattle. AS soon as fine
bunch appears there are numerous
buyers ready to make bids. 1t is this
competition among buyers that sends
up the price and this yields returns
that are very satisfactory to the
breeder. On the other hand when
poor bunch comes to the yards most
of the buyers look at it and pass by.
Here and there man stops and, after
a cursory examination, remarks that
it is not what he is looking for but
he will pay so-and-so for it, and the
cattle have to be sold at the "so-and-
so" price. How can a man expect to
set a good price for animals that do
not appeal to the buyer? But in spite
of this fact, which is always very ap.
parent, the producers of beef keep on
for the most part raising the cattle
that few people want and sending
them to market, at the same cost that
would be necessary for the production
of the best quality Of beeves. The
transportation Of cheap animals is as
costly as the transportation of good
animals. The poor animals take as
much care and as much stall room as
the other animals. The remedy is to
stop saving money on bulls and pur-
chase only those that will improve
the herd.

No Overproduction of Fruit.

Some fear an over-production OF
fruit; l do not. l have heard the
warning cry from timorous souls for
forty years that we were sure to have
an reproduction of fruit! What is
the actual condition? What are the
facts as to an over-supply of fruit?
What about the increased population
Of the country as compared with the
increasing supply of fruit? In the
time that it has taken the population
of the United States to double, her
fruit supply has increased five-fold.
In the face of this, we would naturally
expect fruit to decline in price. Has
it? No indeed; but on the other hand
it has gone up and up in price, till it
is now beyond the reach Of the COM
mon people and only the rich may in.
dulge in the use of ordinary fruit. At
the present time one bushel Of good
apples is worth two bushels of wheat
OF corn! we know of apple orchards
this past season that sold for two
hundred dollars per acre, peach Or
chards that sold for as much and in
some places more. and strawberry
beds that sold for from one to three
hundred dollars per acre! In the face
of all this, with our millions of acres
of superior fruit lands that can be
bought at from five to fifty dollars Fer
acre, with a splendid home market
and an ever and rapidly increasing
foreign demand for all our fruit, shall
we continue to let the masses go hun

rich be supplied with inferior fruits

prices?-N. F. Murray.

In Feeding Cattle.

In the fall feeding of cattle the
stockman finds many problems differ
ent from those of the early part OF
the season. His feed has changed
from succulent one to one of grain,
mostly corn. In the feeding OF this
corn, racks will prove to be economi-
cal, as they are savers of feed. There
is no question that a very large
amount of corn is lost by feeding On
the ground. Some will reply that the
hogs get what is not eaten by the
steers, but it is not the object OF feed
ing steers to throw corn on the ground
for the swine. The latter are ex-
pected to get their corn only from
the droppings of the cattle. If good
deal goes from the storehouse to the
ground the swine will eat that instead
of hunting for the other and with the
grass they obtain in the pasture will
be satisfied to exist without working.
Moreover, when corn, even In the
ear and the husk, is thrown on the
ground, much of it is trampled in the
mud, and is never found at all.
One of the best ways. to feed the
corn is to give it in the form of corn
fodder beginning while the leaves
are still green and feeding each day
only what the cattle will eat up. If
too much is fed it will be "nosed
over" and thereafter refused by the
cattle. AS every feeder knows, cat
tie are particular on this point. A
careless feeder or stupid feeder will
lose a great deal of money for the
owner of the cattle being fed. A
bright man is needed for this work
as well as for most other kinds Of
farm work.
Feeding yards should be kept in
good condition so that the animals
will find it more enjoyable to lie
down than to stand up. They should
be encouraged to rest, for in doing
this they are saving feed for the
owner and making the best use OF
that they have taken. Protection
against the hardest winds should be
given. The open lot may prove to
be good in regions south Of a line
drawn through central Illinois, but
north of that the fall is too cold to
give the best results. 1t is, however,
not advisable to shut up the animals
in close barns. For feeding cattle
the barns should be open to the free
air. The steer does not require the
same conditions that the dairy cow
does for the reason that the steer
has fat under his hide and through his
flesh, while the dairy COW has the fat
largely on her intestines, where it
can be of no use as a protection
against the cold.

Scans as insecticides,

A report of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture says: Any
good soap is effective in destroying
soft-bodied insects, such as plant-l;ce
and young or soft-bodied larvae AS
winter washes in very strong solution
they furnish one of the safest and
most effective means against scale in
sects. The soaps made of fish oil and
sold under the name Of whale oil
soaps are often especially valuable,
but variable in composition and ner-
its. A soap made with caustic potash
rather than with caustic soda, as is
commonly the case. and not containing
more than so per cent Of water,
should be demanded, the potash soap
yielding a liquid in dilution more read
lily sprayed and more effective against
insects. The soda soap washes are
apt to be gelatinous when cold, and
difficult or impossible to spray except
when kept at very high temperature.
For plant-lice and delicate larvae,
such as the pear slug. strength OBJ
tanned by dissolving half pound Of
soap in a gallon of water is sufficient.
Soft soap will answer as well as hard,
but at least double quantity should be
taken.

now she is cured.

Preparing for the Strawberry Bed.
Geo. w. Williams in a communica-
ion to the Missouri State Board Of
Agriculture, says:
Strawberries require higher, dryer
'ocation than the blackberry. They
VIII not live on wet land. While there
,Gn be no iron clad rules to cultivate
strawberries by, there are a few gen.
eral rules that will hold good in near
y all soils. The preparation of the
?eld should begin in the fall before
setting in the spring. Never set straw
perry plants in the fall. If the land
IS not well drained, it can be aiGed
'ery much by a system of Subsoiling,
breaking with an ordinary two horse
turning plow, following each furrow
with another team hitched to slim,
strong "bull tongue" running the bull
tongue" in the bottom of the furrow,
which breaks up the soil very deep
put does not throw it out on top. This
manner of breaking has two-fold OBJ
Ject, one is it forms an under drain
age that carries off the surplus water,
The other, it forms a reservoir that
nolds moisture and furnishes the
olants with drinking water" during a
drouth. When ground is plowed, cover
with barnyard manure, putting on
from ten to twenty tons per acre.
Next spring at the proper time to set
Qlants. which is when the earliest
blooms have opened. disc or cultivate
the ground over until it is thoroughly
pulverized. Mark off the rows north
and south four feet apart-a light
wheelbarrow makes good marker. In
setting, follow the track made by the
wheel, as guide is all that is needed.
Set plants from eighteen to twenty
four inches apart, setting with a mar
row spade. In selecting plants, they
should be taken from beds that have
never borne fruit, that is from beds
set the spring before. By following
this plan year after year, and the prop
er selection of plants, the strawberry
can be improved.
