A Runaway Boy.

Boys who run away from home usu-
ally come to grief, and Oscar. Johnson,
who left his home in Red Cloud and
came to Franklin last week, is no en-
ception. The day of the fire in Red
Cloud, like all other boys, he wanted
to go and see the fire. His stepfather
forbade it and told him to stay at
home and do the chores and, when he
refused, chastised him. The boy then
left home with scant preparation and
for four days his mother worried as to
his whereabouts, until a neighbor no.
ticed his name in last weeks Free

mother, arrived here from Red Cloud

TESTIMONY IN CODY CASE.
Witnesses for Defense Testify to Good
Character of Mrs. Cody.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 21.-rhe trial
OF the Cody divorce suit was resumed
in the district court, witnesses for
both sides being examined. DR.. c. l..
Gillian OF Cody, Wyo., gave testimony
for the plaintiff, William f. Cody. He
accompanied Colonel and Mrs. Cody
and a large party on a hunting trip in
the Big Horn country in 1899. On that
trip, he testified, he heard Mrs. Cody
say that her husband had wanted her
to accompany him to Europe, but that
she would not go anywhere with the
old reprobate."
Charles j.. Iddings, a merchant OF
North Platte, Neb., was called for the
defense. He had attended many So
cial affairs given by the Codys, he
testified, and had never seen Mrs.
Cody use liquor, and that she vas al
ways kind and considerable.
Arthur Mcnamara, president of the
First National bank of North Platte,
Neb., c~orroborated Iddings' testimony
with reference to the character of
Mrs. Cody.
Examined regarding the celebrated
banquet at North Platte in the fall of
1903 in honor of Buffalo Bills return
to his home, Banker Mcnamara testi'
fed that it was whisky and not poi.
son that made Colonel Cody sick on
that occasion. Witness said that Buff.
falo Bill was so under the influence
of liquor that he was unable to make
the speech he expected to deliver. He
asked for a cup of coffee during the
banquet, and the chef, thinking the
guest of honor needed a "bracer," gave
him some whisky in a teacup.
On cross-examination McNamara
admitted that Colonel Cody was sicl
all through the banquet and the
whisky only made him worse.
The taking OF dispositions was com
pleted here. On Feb. %, at NORTH
Platte, Mrs. Cody will make her depo
sition and Colonel Cody will meet thi!
with a deposition in rebuttal, which
will be taken on March 6, at Omaha
The case will then go to Sheridan

Experiment Station Report.

The eighteenth annual report or the
Nebraska experiment station, just
published, contains some striking re-
suits which should interest every
farmer and lead him to send Il request
to the experiment station, at Lincoln,
asking for bulletins published at this
station. The station makes the fol.
lowing statements regarding "a few of
the results of experiments carried on
at the station.
The winter wheat production of the
state has increased 100000 bushels
per year, due largely to the work of
the experiment station.
Kherson oats. introduced from Rus
STA by the station, outyield the com
mon varieties by ten bushels per acre
in Central Nebraska. Experiments
with corn to secure better adapted
varities have increased the yield
10, OoO,OOO to 2O,OOO,OoO bushels and will
result in still further increase
Experiments at the station prove
that land which has been seeded tC
alfalfa will grow from 10 to % bushels
more corn per acre than other lands
Apple scab has been almost perfect
ly controlled by spraying with Bor
deaux mixture Cedar rust on apple
trees has been controlled with Dor
deaux mixture. Straw mulches have
greatly increased the yield of garden
vegetables and improved the quality
Of cabbage, tomatoes, b ans and Gu
cumbers
Milk fever has been treated will
practically no loss, by initiating thu
udder of the COW with air when th'
first symptoms of the disease appear
ed.
Feeding experiments have shown
that alfalfa, hay and corn is the mos
economical ration for fattening steers
This ration gave a profit of IS per hea'
more than where corn and prairie Ia,
was fed.
Extensive experiments in feeding
alfalfa hay with grain to hogs are nov
in which show the grea
economic value of alfalfa when fed i
connection..with a grain ration.
Eighteen thousand hand separator
have been purchased by farmers in tn
last six years, and the number of COW
used for dairy purposes has increase
100000 i'm his time.
One hundred and fifty farmers il
stitutes will be held during the seaso
