ing. Mr. Bracket, in an interview
with a representative of the Oregon
Journal, this morning said that one of
two men did the shooting-John A.

The clue was taken up with the re-
suit that Mr. Main was located in Ash

Victoria, and is still on the Sound. The
theory advanced today in Portland is
that Bracket was mistaken for an
other, who had been paying attentions
to the woman, Mrs. r. M. Brown, and
in the darkness was shot without the
mistake being discovered.
According to a dispatch from the
Rose City this afternoon Mrs. Brown

GROUND OATS BEST.
Make an Excellent Feed for the Lay
ing Hens.

Some poultrymen feed ground corn
and oats. and together with veget-
ables, make a mash for the poultry.
Wherever ground oats can be pro-
cured without the corn being mixed
with it, the feed will be much better
when the corn is in excess Some
millers In grinding corn and oats add
more corn than oats, depending upon
the comparative price of the two. For
other stock, or for milk COWS, such q
food may be better, but not for fowls.
If 1t can be done 1t is always better
to have the oats and corn ground sep
arately and mix the two in quantities
and proportions to suit the require
ments Of the particular flock, as fowls
should not all be fed alike. Some
farmers have the habit of feeding
fowls whole oats, and We have seen
great many oats wasted in this Lleth-
cd Of feeding. Oats consist of hard
husk which fowls dislike, says the
Kansas Farmer. and much more good
will be obtained from them if the oats
are ground. In all events, plenty of
grit should be supplied so the fowls
may finish the grinding
