RUNDIcK WAS MURDERED.

Opinion of coroner's Jury in Powers
Lake Case.
The body of Edward Rundick. aged so
years, a Chicago man who disappeared
from Powers lake in Kenosha county on
Feb. % of this year. was found floating
in the lake and the coroner's jury which
investigated the case returned a verdict
to the effect that the man had been MUIR
dered by men working in the ice fields
at that time. The body was badly de-
composed, but the physicians who exam
ined it found a bad confusion and blood
clot at the base of the brain. which had
evidently been caused by a blunt instru-
ment The finding of the body was re-
ported to Sheriff Pfenning in Kenosha
and he at once began a search for the
men alleged to have caused the death of
Randick. He and four others who had
been employed as channel men at the
lake had been ordered by the foreman
to remove the slush ice from the channel.
just before the men left the engine room
to do this work, Rundick had engaged in
a violent quarrel with one of the other
icemen and he stated that he was afraid
to go out on the lake with them. The
foreman told him he was foolish. An
hour later two of the men returned and
declared that Rundick had been drowned.
The lake was dragged for months, but no
trace of the remains was found. Two
arrests were made Immediately after the
man disappeared. but the suspects were
released. All were members of the wan
dering body of ice cutters and it is doubt
full if they can be found again.

descended the dark stairway to her own

not very brave nor even a strong girl.

Cutwor1ns.

AS the cutworm soeh = to work most
liz during nights that arr nj, ceasing
to do much harm after th> hts be-
come warm, many methods 70 troy
ing them have been suggested e has
long been known that sod land, or land
covered with growth that has not been
recently disturbed, contains more cut
worms than land that has previously
been cultivated and kept clean, as the
moth deposits her eggs where instinct
prompts her to provide an abundance
Of food, the moths working from June
until October in accumulations of rub
bish or on fields covered with heavy
sod, but not in the ground, as the young
worms feed on vegetation, going down
into the ground at the approach of win
ter, where they remain to begin work
early in the spring, reaching maturity
in a short time. An excellent plan is
to pillow the ground, leaving the land
rough, late Ia the season, which turns
many worms to the surface. where they
are destroyed by the alternate thawing
and freezing of the ground, especially
if the soil is damp. Early in the
spring. just before the frost leaves, the
ground should be plowed again, which
will cause the destruction of more Of
them. In both cases the birds destroy
a large number. During the summer it
will be of advantage to keep the ground
clear of weeds or heaps of refuse, and
do not destroy the moles, as they sub
sist on cutworms. If given an oppor-
tunity to do so. the mole will prove it
self to be one of the most useful friends

Feeding priclsly Pear to stock.

A bulletin by the United States De
partment of Agriculture, Bureau OF
Animal Industries, contains notes on
the forms of prlckly pear and gives
the results of feeding tests with cows
and steers. The method of feeding this
plant was that commonly employed up.
OH ranches in Southern Texas, where
the experiments were conducted.
In tests with two cows prickly pear
was compared with sorghum hay. The
complete data, including weather OBJ
servations, are reported. "A full rough.
age ration Of pear with a constant
grain ration appears to yield fully as
good results as full roughage ration
of sorghum hay. The records are renlly
a little more favorable to the pear ra-
ton" The prickly pear ration, includ-
ing twelve pounds of rice bran and
three pounds Of cottonseed meal, cost
1906 cents per COW daily. This allowed
for the labor and gasoline required in
smuggling the cactus. 1t is stated that
prickly pear has been fed to a dairy
herd for two to four months each year
for six or eight years with no CON-
plant from customers which could in
any way be attributed to pear feeding.
A lot Of twenty-seyen steers was kept
in a four-acre feeding lot and fed
chopped prickly pear with cottonseed
meal. : The largest and most woody
plants available were selected, chopped
without smuggling, and fed in troughs
early in the morning and about the
middle of the afternoon. The cotton
seed meal was sprinkled on the chopped
prickly pear. The average daily gain
in the 105 days of the test was La
pounds per head, 55.03 pounds of prick
ly pear and % pounds of cottonseed
meal, at a total cost of 3.4S cents, being
required per pound of gain. When
shipped to market the average shrink
age per steer was SS.5 pounds.
