Waters, lit will be profitable
to sell timothy and buy clover
rather than to feed the timo-

THE results of eight years
of experiments at the Missouri
Agricultural College with sew
eral hundred head of cattle of
all ages, from calves to two
and half year old steers, fed un.
der all conditions, from merely
being wintered to full fed, show
that a bushel of corn worth soc
when fed with the best quality
of timothy hay, millet or
sorghum, is worth from SOC to
40c when fed with clover, alfal-
ia or COW peas. This is due to
the fact that these plants sup.
ply very important ingredient
in which corn is deficient. Hay
made from timothy, millet or
sorghum is more deficient in
this element than Torn, and
makes the ration even more

CHALLENGES ANY THREE.
Preacher Offers TO Fight When Church
Members Criticize.

williamsport. Pa. July 1s.-Rev.
William Matthewson, pastor OF the
Swedish Valley Methodist church, Gre
ated a sensation during the Sunday
service by offering to fight any three
men in the valley.
The challenge came as the climax OF
a series of sensational attacks on mem
bers Of the Masonic and other secret
orders. This time his remarks were
resented and a public quarrel followed,
several of the leaders in the church as
sailing the minister while he was In
the pulpit.
Mr.. Matthewson declared from the
pulpit that no member Of the Masonic
fraternity should have a place in the
church, and that no minister who was
a member Of the order had ever had
successful revival. He savagely at
tackled at the same time, the Grange
and Odd Fellows.
In the midst Of his harrangue Hiram
Lent and Warren Whit, two prominent
members Of the church, challenged MS
conduct, asking him to confine his SER
mon to topics Of religion. He ordered
them out Of the church and then issued
a challenge to fight any three men.
Matthewson is a converted Woodsman
and has up to the present time been
successful in the ministry. HIS chal-
lenge has not been accepted.

Eldora, July 1s.-A most unusual
case of sleep walking occurred here
early this morning. Alfred Brown, a
young man who is rooming at one Of
the restaurants and working in the
tile factory, got up in his sleep thinking
someone was after him and making a
run for second story window, hurled
himself thru screen and all, landing on
the brick sidewalk below. When pick
ed up young Brown was bleeding pro-
fusely. but aside from broken shoul-
der it is thought he sustained no SER
ious injuries. Taking into considera-
ton the distance he fell, and the fact
that he landed on his head and shoul-
der, it is most wonderful thing the
fellow was not instantly killed.
Sleep walking Is common charact-
eristic of the Brown family and during
these sleep walking hours many cur
ious antics are performed.
