BILE might be made for me.
There was general discussion be-
tween myself and Burton as to the
terms n other matters, but no defin-

AN INFANT AT 10 YEARS
The Peculiar Affection of Miss Mary
ScaIly Of Morristown, N. j., Is
Suddenly Cured.

New York, Nov.22.-In less than forty.
eight hours Miss Mary Scally, of Nor
ristown. N. J., has developed from an
lS-months-old baby to a young woman
of nearly 20 years. h spent yesterday
going about among her friends, re-
ceiving their congratulations over her
remarkable recovery from the most Pc
culiar malady, which attacked her al
most six months ago. AT that time Miss
Scaly suffered a strange mental re-
lapse.
From a bright young woman, enjoy
ing good health. Miss Scally suddenly
became like a baby. She was hardly
able to walk n appreciated nothing
of What went on about her. She even
had to be fed as an infant. If she
were told to stand with her face to a
wall she would do so like a child, re-
naming in that position Until she was
called.
Although she has suffered twice from
a similar affection, Miss Scally is not
of weak intellect. She is a graduate of
the p%arochial school of ST. Mary's
church in Morristown, where she was
one of the brightest members of her
class.
Miss Scally's present return to a nor
nal state is thought to have been due
to the excitement incident to the late
election.

Feed Mill on the Farm.

On any farm where there is stock
TO feed whether cows, sheep, hogs or
poultry, the feed mill or grinder is
one of the best economi2ers of food
one can have. These mills are made
in various sizes and suited to the large
or the small farm. With such mill
one is in position to give variety in
form of feeding that is impossible un-
less one is prepared to buy various
kinds of ground food.
Where corn constitutes the main
food as is the case on most farms it
is plain to see that it is not advisable
to feed it in the same form all the
time. With the feed grinder it is
possible to mix the several ground
grains in small quantities which one
would hardly buy. Where poultry
keeping is part of the farm industry
there will be found abundant use for
the feed grinder and it will pay a
good profit on the investment.-In-

Unapacha Heecha, one of the great
medicine men of the Piutes, is dead,
having been slain by tribesmen be.
cause he failed to propitiate the evil
spirit and bring about better condi-
tions among the tribes which live
along the Colorado and his slayer
Arda Mocha, has killed himself in
obedience to the order of the ruling
chiefs.
The double killing occurred a few
days ago north of Spears Lake, 10
miles out from Needles. It appears
that the medicine man had been con-
demned to death because of his fail
ure to drive away the spell which was
rapidly killing off the tribe, and at a
conclave of braves his death was de-
cidcd upon. He was first ordered
from the land where his hut stood for
many years. He failed to go, be-
lieving that as soon as he had step
ped from the boundary of his prop
erty, which is supposed to be conse-
Grated, he would die.
Mocha succeeded in getting him
off, but desecrated the land by fight
ing the medicine man in his own
house, and after he had shot Heecha
through the head he turned the gun
on himself, blowing out his brains.
A great pow-wow followed, great hon
ors being done to both bodies as the
funeral pyre slowly consumed them.

Ammonia in Manure.

Land plaster or gypsum has un-
doubted value in holding the ammonia
or nitrogene in stable manure, al
though some scietists dispute this.
Still kainit is so much better for this
purpose than the gypsum that it is a
wonder any of the latter is used. It
is true kainit is more expensive in
first cost, but then it not only holds
the ammonia better than the gypsum,
but it adds to it a desirable plant food
which gypsum does not.
If one must, for any reason, store
the stable manure for some portion of
the winter, the bulk of its value will
be maintained if stored in pits with
cement bottoms, 50 that the liquid por-
tions are retained, and the mass treat
ed with ka-nit occasionally. The cost
is small compared with the increased
value Of the manure. Try It this win
ter and you will become a convert to
the practice.-Indiarapolls News.
