true that the heaviest yields for a sim

Usually corn has been grown only for

Raising Mules.

The advantage of a mule over n
horse is he can be taught to urn
shorter, thus preventing the breaking
down Of vegetables or other plants. He
can go in rougher places, is not affected
BY heat as badly as the horse, and re.
quires less attention in thu way Of
currying, rubbing, etc. His feet be-
Ing smaller, he can walk closer to the
row OF growing plants.
To make n good mule worth from
500 to $50 at weaving time or $40 to
Sl6O as a two-year-old, he should be
foaled from large mare in April or
May. He should run with the dam TN.
I'll October 1, then be weaned. At this
time he should be at least fifty.twO
inches. Put him In a large shed with
plenty Of light and feed oats, with clov.
or and timothy hay. Too much corn
fevers the legs ard produces scratches.
The next summer he should have ac.
cess to the pasture, with a little corn
each day, until cold weather, when he
should be brought back to the barn.
At two or two and a half years old he
should be sixteen hands high, fat, and
ready for market.
When feeding, care should be given
to keep out scratches, The following
is a good cure; Take equal parts Of
bluestone, white vitrlol and verdigris,
grind together with parts of soapstone,
mix with warm water until about rs
thin as paste, apply with a swab on
the end of stick about three times n
week.
Mule colts are no more troublesome
than horse colts. The colts run with
their mothers, but a separate pasture
is required for two-year-old mules.

UTILITY BOXES.

Utility boxes Aave made a stand for
themselves and are looked upon as be-
ing as useful as dressing glasses and
bureaus. The most expensive are Of
Leather and have something of the APP
pearance of an old-time chest. Others
are made Of suede in tones of any
dark, rich color, and are covered inside
with suitable cotton texture, 1t is on
ly when employing a trimmer fabric
that they should be padded, because
the rough places in the box are sure
to injure and cut away the cloth.

HYGIENE FOR HEALTHY FACES.

Since the study Of cutaneous affec-
lions has been made a medical special
ty the dermatologlsts find themselves
in constant dispute with hygienists
concerning the employment of warm
water or cold water for bathing the
face, so much so that it has remained
an open question even for shaving. In
my opinion, it is best to continue the
practice that one has been following
from childhood. In any case, so much
is certain-that cold water may pro-
duce accidents, most Of which one can
avoid by using warm water. For one
thing, microbes and parasites thrive
better in cold water than in warm.
Furthermore, few things irritate the
tender skin of women more than the
acute difference between the tempera-
ture Of very cold water and very warm
dressing rooms. With full-blooded
persons cold water turns the face red,

John Henschko was found the morn
ing of July q on the road leading to
the mine at Franklin with his skull
crushed in and bloody pickaxe at his
side. The man had left home about
10 o'clock in the evening to go to
work and nothing was seen of him I'M

unconscious. Circumstances pointed
toward the wife and the Zydek
brothers, who were known to have had
quarrel with the husband, as being
responsible for the attack

questioning, forced Mrs. Henschko to
make an affidavit in which she stated
that the night before the assault
Stanley Zydek told her he was going
to murder her husband. She swore
that when her husband left home the
night of July 20 to go to work she
remembered Zydek's threat and that
she never expected to see MIN return
alive. Nevertheless she admitted that
danger that he was in.
Tells of Other Threats.
Similar threats made against her
husbands life by the Zydek boys were
also related in the affidavit. She
sWOre that the motive for the assault
was the quarrel between her husband
and the three Zydek boys resulting
from her husbands jealousy of the at
tentiOns that she was receiving from
them. Until last February John Stan
ley and Tommy Zydek roomed at the
HenschkO home but after the wife had
made certain confessions to the hus-
to beat her if she had anything to do
with them.
For twenty days Henschko lay in the
hospital entirely unconscious. The
whole top of his skull had been crushed
and it was thought he would not re-
cover. but his vitality stood him Tn
good stead. Three days ago ne left
the hospital. Last night the prelim-
mary examination of the Zydek boys
