In search of his wife, and found her
dead close by. Her clothing was torn
from her body and the finger prints
OF the beast were found on the wo.

the authorities to believe the woman

she was overcome. The feeling in
that neighhorhood is intense and the
lynching ssntiment very strong
Two suspects have been arrested, but
both protest their innocence. One is
in Jail at Glen Jean and the other at

VETCH HAY.

Common vetch is a great nitrogen
gatherer and is used as farm crop
in many different ways, says the
Southern Agriculturist. In some To-
calities it has proved valuable as a
catch crop and also as cover crop
in orchards. In France it has been
grown to furnish honey-making ma
terial for bees. In the eastern United
States the common vetch has not
proved to be so valuable as other le-
gumes, but in western Oregon it has
become a standard stock feed and is
used as hay, silage, pasture and as
soiling crop. 1t makes a very palata-
BILE hay and dairy cattle prefer vetch
silage to that made of red clover. On
some farms vetch is replacing clover
in the regular rotation. Vetch is
usually sown in the fall with wheat
or rye to support the stalks, and is
cut for hay when the seed begins to
form in the pods. From two to four
tons of hay to the acre are yielded,
while an acre gives from Is to 80
bushels of seed,

WHEAT AND EGGS.

We all learn slowly, says the Kan
sas Farmer. Most farmers grow
wheat, but not many think Of saving
some of it for winter feed for the
laying hens. Feed dollar wheat to
chickens? Yes, and make money by
it, Wheat is almost perfect ration
for laying hens; and if fed to them
in litter, SO they must scratch for it,
getting as near as possible to nature,
the hens will be contented, well fed,
supplied with needed elements-na-
lures requirements will be met, and
they will lay perform natures
function. With eggs at present prices
the wheat thus fed will bring more
than a dollar bushel. Our prefer
ence is to feed wheat and corn both
wheat in the morning and corn at
night, not forgetting, of course, the
meat scraps, grit, etc.

GIGANTIC MUSHROOM.

An interesting thing in the mush-
room line came to light recently when
a giant specimen weighing over
thirty pounds was found near Pitts
burg by one of the professors in the
Carnegie school. The mushroom was
edible, it was found, and though it
may not have been the growth of a
night, it certainly grew in less than
forty-eight hours, since search of it's
locality made the day previous to that
en- which it was found disclosed no
evidence of it. If mushroom growers
could arrange to cultivate this par
ticular species, more than one mush-
room fortune might be the result

What wonderful country the

HOGS STILL TENDING UPWARD.

In spite Of the high prices to which
hogs have already attained, the ten
dency is, still upward; and it now
looks like there will have to be
found substitute for this common
est flesh food of the American people.
No branch of stock-raising is more
inviting just now than hog-raising.
The original investment may seem to
be larger than usual, and it neces-
sarily must be; but the return is
quick, and there is little danger that
it will not be good. Early spring
pigs can be brought into a good mar
ket before the frosts of the follow
ing winter.-Up-to-Da Farming.

THE HORSE IN WINTER.

The first cold snap that puts in it's
appearance the driver of horse or
a team hustles to a clothing store to
purchase an overcoat, or searches the
closets at home for last years coat.
Let these drivers remember that the
horse they drive is just as sensitive
to the cold as they are. When you
buy an overcoat for yourself, buy a
blanket for the horse and use it
every time you stop. No matter if
you only stop for five minutes, throw
the blanket or lap-robe over the ami
mails back to protect his kidneys.
What is more disgusting than to
see horse shivering from the cold
for the want of just little atten-
ton! Do not think that because the
horse is dumb animal that he does
not appreciate it, for he does, and if
you will study your horse you will
soon see that he shows his apprecia-
ton in many ways.
A good thing to remember is to
take the bride to the house and

THE WINTER DUST BATH.

This important essential in chicken
raising is often neglected because the
rains or bad weather have Temporal
rily put the dust bath out Of COM
mission, says the Poultry World. To
supply the lack, it is advisable to fill
two or three barrels with a good loan
and place it where the rains can not
damage it. When the ground is
frozen, some of the loan may be
placed in box, either in the sun or
in shelter The box should be about
fifteen inches high, to prevent dirt
being kicked out. Wherever posi-
BILE, the floor of an unused stall would
do in lieu of the box. The dirt should
be changed frequently, to prevent
filth accommodating. A little lime add
ed increases the value of the bath,
which is the hens natural method of

warm the bit before placing it in the
mouth of your horse. One way to-
impress this on. your mind is, on
cold and frosty morning, to stick
your tongue out and touch it to the
bit on the bride. The first impulse
will be to yank it away, but if you
do the result will be that part of
your tongue will stay with the Bit

feels that is compelled to take a cold

OYSTER PLANT.

The best place to grow satisfy or
the oyster plant is after some early
crop like cabbage and on some heayi-
ly MANFRED ground.
Satisfy is a very hardy plant and
in the South will grow all winter. 1t
is ready for use any time after winter
sets in and will improve till spring.
The roots are boiled and then made

into cakes and fried, and they very
greatly resemble oyster fritters.
Satisfy needs a deep and strong
garden soil, but no manure, as that
is apt to make it grow forked
1t is sometimes best to add some
acid phosphate in putting satisfy on
old cabbage ground.-Southern Agri-
