duced much greater consumption of
grain, increased the gains in weight
80 per cent. and reduced the grain
requirement per pound OF increase to
the extent of 1871 per cent.
An attempt was made to cheaper
the corn meal and linseed oilmeal
ration by substitute of gluten meal,
gluten feed, and germ oilmeal, in three
rations respectively, for half of the
1inseed Oilmeal in the standard to
I ration. In each case the amount of
food eaten, and the rate of increase
were lowered by the substitution, and
the amount of gain requisite to the
production of a pound of pork was
increased. The ration containing glu-
ten feed was eaten in greater guam
titles and was used with better effect
than the rations containing gluten
meal or germ oilmeal The ration
containing gluten meal was eaten in
the smallest quantities and returned
the least pork for the feed consumed

quart, which is low estimate, he
would have had to ship in round num-
bers, 1880 quarts and assuming that
he hired every quart of them picked,
the gathering of the crop would have
cost him $325.1O. The cups at IL cent
each would have cost him $54.34,
which would make the entire out lay
of money in the making and market
ing of this crop $49O.45.
We have estimated the expenses of
this crop but we are quite sure that our
estimate will exceed rather than fall
short of Mr.. Fletcher's own figures.
Another point, which we should men,
ton, is that no part of the fertilization
is wasted, as the ground on which
these berries We're grown, has been
planted in corn and set in tomatoes
and will yield another crop in due
season.
Two thousand dollars cleared off of
two acres and a half will no doubt
seem big to farmers in our state, but
such returns are not infreQuent in this

Results from Strawberries.

The Plant City Courier publishes an
account of very profitable crop of
Strawberries that has been grown near
that place this season.
The Courier has on several occa-
siOns made reference to the success of
Mr.. Frank Fletcher with his this years
stra wberry crop. There may be other
growers who have been just as success
full as Mr.. Fletcher but we have kept
up with his operations and having
learned few days ago that he had
quit shipping we asked him how much
his crop from the two and half acres
had sold for. He told us that his ship
ments had amounted to a little over
S25OO.OO and that he had sold his ber-
rieS on the platform.
We had expected to be able to give
an itemized statement from Mr.. Fletch-
err of the expense incurred by him in
making and marketing his crop but
failed to receive it for this issue. But
say that his fertilizer cost him $40.

A Sure Cure for Hydraphobia.

We find recipe which is claimed
to be a cure for hydrophobia If it
is, its value is beyond estimate. So
far as known there is no cure except
the treatment given at Pastuer Insti-
tutes. If you have reason to think
that a person has been bitten by a
mad dog, the only safe thing to do is
to send the patient to the nearest
Institute. But if it is impossible to do
that, then it would be as well to try
this method as any other, for doctors
are entirely helpless in such cases.
The following contribution from a
wellknown local physician has recent
ly appeared in the Norfolk Landmark
and is of sufficient Importance to be
copied by every magazine and news
paper in the Union:
Immediately after being bitten by
a rabid dog, or other "mad" animal
wash the wound thoroughly and con-
tinue to battle it freely with two table
spoonfuls of fresh chloride of lime
well mixed with only half pint of
cold water As soon as this quantity
is used prepare more of the same
proportion and regularly each day ap-
ply as before until the patient is con-
sidered out of danger. The chlorine
of gas, explains this physician, de-
cOmposes the poison of the rabid ami
mails bite and thus renders harmless
the venom, which medical science by
some other means vainly at
tempts to destroy Do not delay ap-
plying this simple remedy and wash
ing the wound unstintingly with it.
During period of fourteen years
only two persons, out of IS4. died
in Bresian Hospital who received this
treatment and only four in the hos
pital at Zurich. Switzerland out of
223 who were bitten by various rabid
animals, IS2 of which were dogs This
brief, but important article, ends with
this suggestion: Hypodermic injec-
tions of pure Carbolic Acid (Calverts)
should be properly diluted and used
around the edges of all such wounds

Citrus Trees Proposed in Boynton
Section

Section.
1t is difficult to find any kind of
soil in Florida on which citrus trees
cannot be successfully grown if prop
erly cared for. The Homeseeker tells
how they thrive on muck lands on
the East Coast:
In January, 1902, Mr. Fred. S. Dew
ey, of West Palm Beach, planted a
seven-acre grove of citrus trees on
the muck lands at Boynton as an ex-
pertinent which has resulted in a great
success. At the time of planting many
tried to discourage Mr.. Dewey, telling
him that his efforts would prove a
rank failure and would prove detri-
mental to the best interests of that
section. Among those who prophe-
sled failure were a proment Florida
fertilizer man and professor in the
agricultural college Mr.. Dewey is
not the kind of man who fears to back
up his judgment with his cash. From
the start he had faith in the muck
lands for growing citrus fruits and no
| amount of Encouragement from 9th
ers changed his purpose. This is
another case where "the man that
laughs last laughs best"
After preparing the soil for the re-
ception of the trees he planted 100
Dancy Tangerines, 100 silver cluster
grapefruit, 265 Harris Late oranges.
The, trees made most marvellous
growth and bore fruit the first year
after planting. Each year there has
been a gradual increase in the amount
of fruit, until this year they held from
two. three or more boxes to the tree.
The trees bloomed heavily this spring
and are holding a quantity of fruit,
and if no unforeseen event happens
the crop will be much larger next sea-
son than this.
The trees are in the best of condi
ton, heavy dark green foliage and are
putting on a splendid growth of new
wood. Among his trees Mr.. Dewey
has planted castor beans which make
a most luxuriant growth. To this
Mr.. Dewey attributes much of his
success in growing a grove on this
class of land The trees are now ten
to twelve feet in height with wide
spreading branches. In the vicinity
of Boynton there are many acres of
this class of lands and Mr.. Dewey's
phenomenal success in growing citrus
trees on muck land will induce others
to plant, and sooner or later the muck
lands there will be covered with citrus

Feeding Hogs.

will find it profitable to study the best
means of doing so with the least ex-
pense. The following from the Far
mer's Home Journal gives the re-
suit of some experiments in that line:
The Missouri experiment station re-
Gently completed a test, the object
of which was to determine the rela-
tive value of supplements to corn
for fattening hogs. Fifteen lots of
six-months-old pigs, usually five in
each lot, were fed, most of them for
ninety days in the test Wheat mid
dlings, linseed oilmeal, cottonseed
germ oilmeal were used during the
months of December, January, Feb
ruary and March Ioo4-'5. Two more
lots were fed a year later, during
November, December and January,
Ioo5-'6, in a comparison of ear corn
and corn meal, both being fed with
linseed oil cake. The following is a
summary of the results:
The rations of 1inseed oilmeal and
corn meal in proportions of 1 to 5
were eaten in larger quantities than
any other feeds tested, and made more
pork, with smaller expenditure of feed
than any other ration involved. Es-

at $50 per ton, corn at 80 cents per
bushel, grinding at 10 cents per hun
dred weight, and wheat middlings at
SI8 per ton, the cost of pork made
from Oilmeal ration averaged
II.3 per cent less than from the ra-
tions of corn. meal and wheat mid
dlings. The average cost per 100
pounds with the oilmeal rations was
$3.23, and with the middlings rations,
$500, or a difference of 81 cents per
100 pounds of pork in favor of the
oilmea1 rations In order to make
pork from corn meal and wheat mid
d1ings as cheaply as from the above
mentioned ration of corn meal and
linseed oilmeal the middlings would
have to be bought at prices ranging
from $I47o to IS per ton in the var
ious lots Middlings are usually more
expensive, and linseed Oilmeal is uSu-
ally less so than as here figured.
With corn at 25 cents per bushel,
it would be an even thing so far as
cost of grain is concerned whether one
would feed it alone or with oilmeal
at $50 per ton; with corn at 20 cents
per bushe1 there would be no saving
or loss from the feeding of middlings
with corn, allowing in each ease ten
pounds of pork per bushel of corn
fed alone
The rations of corn meal and
wheat middlings, half and half re-
quired from I.3 to II per cent, more
grain to produce a given weight of
pork than the ration of corn meal and
oil meal in proportions of 5 to I, and
made from 70 to ~ per cent, less
pork in a given time.
The rations of corn meal and wheat
in proportions of to I re-
quired I6 to 20 per cent. more grain

SAY 1T WAS SUICIDE.
Police Find NO Evidence That Burglar
Was in spier Home.

New York May S.@Police officials
who have been investigating the mys-
terious death of Charles L. Spier, con-
fidential agent of H H. Rogers who
was found dead in his home in Staten
Island yesterday, reported today that
the evidence indicated that Spier had
committed suicide. Mrs. SDier had in
formed the police that Spier left his
bed chamber to go to the dining room
in search of a burglar and that she
afterward heard shots. Except that
the furnishings of the dining room in
which the body was found were dis
arranged, the police say that there was
nothing about the house to indicate the
presence of a burglar. One door was
found unlocked but without signs Of
having been forced and an active bull
dog, which accompanied Mr.. Spier to
the dining room. took no part in the
reported duel with a burglar, if there
was one.
On the other hand the police have
ascertained that one month before his
death Mr.. Spier had insured his life for
$3.50 and had been obliged to dis
count a note for S1.357 to pay the pre-
MUM on one of the policies when it
became payable last Saturday. The
policies were payable regardless of the
cause of death and the beneficiary had
been changed from Mrs. Spier to a
trustee of his estate.
The police have discovered also that
a judgment in bankruptcy for 50,870
had been outstanding against Mr.. Spier
and others since February last. The
Judgment was entered after the Yeti
man Transmitting Typewriter COM
pany, of which Mr.. Spier was presi-
dent, went into bankruptcy.

FREIGHT IN DAY TIME.
City Railway Asks to Have Franchise
Amended.

The Topeka street railway last night
asked the city council for an amend
ment to the franchise which will permit
the company to haul freight around the
streets of Topeka at any time of the
day. When the franchise was adopted
a provision was incorporated granting
the company the right to haul freight
after midnight. However the company
has paid but little attention to this pro-
vision and since there has been con-
hauling freight cars about the streets
in the day time they now ask the couu-
ell to legalize this business by adopting
an amendment to the franchise
The amendment is yelled under a pro-
vision about express packages but the
right to haul freight is there. If it is
adopted Topeka, will probably soon wit
ness the spectacle of freight cars run
ming down Kansas avenue and other
prominent streets at all times of the
day. Isn't it about time to call a halt?
or is that a condition the people of To-
peka want?
The present franchise restricts this
form of traffic to the hours Of from Il
o'clock at midnight to o'cIoc1 in the
morning. The street car company has
been violating the terms of this fran
chise with recurring frequency this past
winter and spring and as the result Of
an attempt to provide for a police regu-
lation Of this violation it is now at
tempting to make its position sure by
having its franchise amended
The amendment as drawn UP follows:
That said Topeka railway company
is hereby authorized to carry the hand
baggage belonging to all accompanying
passengers; also to carry and deliver
packages of any kind or. description, Of
fifty pounds weight or less, including
express packages. Said railway COM
pany is also authorized to transport coal
and other freight, at a speed of not
more than eight miles per hour
I'VE simply don't want to have any
restriction placed on the hours for
hauling freight. That's all there is to
it. The clause Is the same as now exists
in the franchise only it hasn't the hours
named in it," said F. G. Kelley, man
ager of the street railway company. The
amendment was referred to the streets
and walks committee.

to keep other employees from entering
the works. The action of the strikers
led the managers to call for aid
Sheriff Mcmillan with % deputies i'm
mediately proceeded to the plant.
BY the time the sheriff arrived on
the scene the mob had increased to
nearly 200 persons. including many
women. Several fights were in pro-
gress between strikers and strike
breakers, clubs and stones being used
quite freely.
The sherfffs men endeavored to stop
the trouble by ordering the mob to
disperse- They were charged on by
the woman who grappled with them
and were later aided by several men.
At this juncture a shot was fired by
some one in the crowd. Immediately
the sherfff's posse fired a volley into
the crowd, killing an italian, Mike
Marino, and seriously wounding two
other strikers. The mob at once
scattered in every direction. Two dep
uties were badly beaten in the en-
deavOr to disarm strikers.
The deputies are still on guard at
the smelter. but further trouble is not
expected. The cause for the disturb
ance was the Inauguration of an eight
hour day at the plant. The men de-
manded the same pay for eight
hours as for the former ten hour work

Gates outstanding and putting all the
property they represented in the hands
of the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey, it has continued to violate the
Valentine-Steward antitrust law just
as before.
Just before the reorganization, it in

company. he says, does all the Stand

Tank company carries all it's oil by cars.
The Solar Refining company does its

company collects the crude oil from

Germs represent the same interests is
shown by their tax returns that all are
made on the same day on similar forms
and they are all represented by the
same attorneys.
The Standard absolutely fixes the
price of crude oil Independent com
panies run their bids up or down with
the Standard price. But by organizing

Standard manages to drive out com
