BODY FOUND IN ASHES
OLD MAN MURDERED AND GIVEN
TO THE FLAMES 49, SENSATION
Al. CRIME NEAR AMIGO.

Amigo, Wis, Sept. 7.-Evidence Of
one of the most sensational murders
ever known in this vicinity came to
light yesterday when the mutilated
body Of Step hen Daugs was found
among the ashes of his home about
three miles east of this city.
Daugs was an old man and had lived
alone and is supposed to have had a
large amount of money. In addition to
his Accommodations he was also supposed
to have money from the sale of his farm
recently.
The strongest evidence of oul play
was a hole in the temple made by some

Canada has repeatedly announced that |

she will consent to nothing in the way Of |
reciprocity with us except the free ad- |
mission from each country to the other of
such products as butter, cheese, eggs, |
poultry, wheat, oats, barley, hay, cattle, |
hogs and horses. This Is her unyielding
position today as it has been always and
will undoubtedly continue to be.

Not Easily Accomplished.

If you really do believe that you could
secure the entire removal Of the duty on
lumber, be prepared to tell just how you
expect to go to work to do it. You must
know how such a change in our general
tariff law, involving the entire principle
of a protective tariff, would not be made
on the simple request of any member.
Not even an experienced member OF the
highest standing could accomplish such
a thing as that. About how much show
would there be, then, for new member
to do it? You would have to secure the
CO. operation of at5majority of the mem
bers of both houses Of congress.
Whom would you be able to get to CO.
operate with you, do you suppose? You
could not expect to secure help from the
straight-out, square-toed republicans who
understand the protective system and are
devoted to it, And these, remember, con-
stitute almost the entire republican mem
bers of both houses. Remember that with
such a. proposition, which is simply an
instance of the old democratic plan Of
attacking the protective tariff In detail
and attempting to break it down piece

that would join hands with you.

Would you cooperate with them? If you
did, what do you think your constituents
would say to your keeping such COM
pany? You would perhaps find few
Republicans from city districts who had

stituents free food products. Could you
afford to join hands with them? But with

ENTRANCE TO THE BEEHIVE
It Should Be Large Enough to Allow
Ventilation and Plenty Of
elbow" Space.

Common opinion holds that the low
or part of the hive is the proper place
for the entrance as it protects the
brood nest and at the same time gives
the bees better chance to clean their
hive of Gaping refuse and dead bees
and to keep their house in general or
der. Some argue that the entrance
should be near the top of the hive, thus
giving bees a short cut to the combs
but on the other hand you are giving
the cold air chance to get to brood
cluster, and this will bring about bad
results. The size of the, entrance
should be ample and not too small
During the rush of the honey season
the writer uses a space 3x3b inches, and
during very warm weather raises hives
one-quarter inch in front by means of
wedges. This allows ventilation and
plenty Of space for, all requirements
during warm spring days. When rob-
bers are apt to cause trouble close up
the entrance, allowing only about
enough space for two bees to enter at
once. OF course your strong swarnis
will take care of themselves, but by
doing this with your light ones you
will save much trouble.-G. H. Towns

wide by six feet long. The hopper was
placed up at the head of the granary
stairway with the screens underneath
in such manner that when the
cracked corn is allowed to run slowly
from the hopper it grades nicely into
three sizes of cracked corn, besides the
fine meal, which would go to waste if
scattered on the ground for the poultry,
and anyone would be surprised at the
amount of this meal saved even from
the best sifted cracked corn. The size
of screens may be arranged to suit each
user. use No. for top or coarsest
as I want it as coarse as possible for
pigeons; No. for second, and No. IL
for nest. These sizes If set at an angle
that the corn will run down nicely
without requiring any shaking to pre-
vent lodging, will give nice grades of
cracked corn. The more upright the
grader is placed the more fine will be
left in the coarser grades, and the less
thoroughly will it be sifted This has
saved me many times it's cost in the
meal saved alone, aside from the con-
venience of having the size cracked
wanted for the different birds. At times
when feeding largely on cracked corn
I have saved enough meal to feed two
cows.-Rural New Yorker.

Automobile salesladies.

The automobile business has opened

chimes. A certain woman of title is
known to have sold, within six months,
five high-power cars and fourteen
smaller ones, and made in commissions
about $4,000. There was no trouble
in making the transaction, for all she
had to do was to tell her wealthy
friends that her car was the best on
the market and give her card to the
intending purchaser, to be presented
to the maker. Some of the smart
women make additional profits by sell.

COTTON TREES INsPARAGUAY,
Yield Is Greater Than That Of Any
. n Given Area Of Any Country
.A?"s ~ SIT in the World. ~

A very interesting exposition Of the
possibilities of cotton growing in Para.
quay has been written by the vice presi-
dent of that republic, Manuel Doming.
rez, and received through the consulate
Of that country in Washington, reports
the Star. Among the features which the
author sets forth, and which are at
variance with the habits Of the cotton
plant in the United States, are the term
of life Of the plant there, which he claims
lis ten years, and it's superior productive
quality. In the United States the plant
is an annual, except in portions of Texas
and few other places, where it is tri
ennial. He also says that the cotton
plant in Paraguay is not plant, but a
tree, and that it grows to that size in
Asuncion. Where the fiber of the plant
Is extensively utilized, he contends that
there certainly should be some advan-
tage in such condition. ~
Mr.. Dominguez then asserts that the
cotton yield of Paraguay is greater to a
given area than that of any other coun-
try in the world. 1t is we'll known that
cotton fflourishes wherever the orange
grows, and it is said that the Paraguay
an orange IS one Of the finest in the
world. The fact that the cotton tree of
Paraguay grows spontaneously and lasts
for ten years, bearing with regularity, is
one of the striking bits Of information
in the mass gathered by the author Of
the statistics. He cites the well-known
facts that the demand for cotton is con-
stantly on the increase, and that the
United States is endeavoring to supply
the world with the great staple, using
this for an argument that the future for
tunes of Paraguay may be founded on
this plant "a
Referring to the, tremendous growth
of the cotton raising and manufacturing
industry in the United States, he says:
"The manufacture of cotton goods in
North America is developing, and when
that country shall manufacture all it's
raw products the demand for the latter
will increase Until now North America
depended on Europe as Europe depended
on North America, the latter producing
the cotton which Europe consumed. But
If once North America consumes all the
cotton it produces Europe will be obliged
to close its factories and discharge its
workmen. It will be an economic break
down. ...' d
Mr.. Dominguez closes by appealing to
his government to foster and encourage
the cultivation of the valuable plant and
to invite capital to take itaup, believing,
he says, that ''in short time Paraguay
could export cotton to the value Of $780,
900 900 annually" -.

POULTRY PARAGRAPHS.

A chick that becomes stunted seldom
attains good size or weight. Keep them
growing.
Chicks should never be kept on
board floors. Such floors should be
well covered with dry earth and litter.
The breeder who expects to carry oft
the laurels at the fall fairs of 1904
should get his chicks well under way
now.
Well-kept, well-ventilated and thor
oughly clean houses should be proof
against sickness of any kind in the
flock.
It is not advisable to give a male
more than ten females to take care Of
ordinarily, although more than this
number can be given an extra vigorous
male.
It is waste of time, space and food
to attempt to grow exhibition birds of
merit from inferior stock. The very
best will throw quite enough of the
poorer quality.-Commercial Poultry.
