At the same time the expense Of win

possible Timothy hay is expensive.

ration of corn and oats counts up at
the end OF each month. TO reduce the
attendant expense of keeping horses

our best farmers are feeding corn.
stalks and cat straw supplemented
with some hay as roughage and find
at the end of winter that they have
made neat saving in cost Of main
tenance at no sacrifice In flesh or
health to the animals.
At prevailing prices the difference in
cost OF maintenance between timothy
hay and the roughage suggested is
well worth saving, especially when the
animals are enabled to come through
the winter without loss OF flesh. Two
quarts Of ground oats and the same of
wheat bran with d handful Of oilmeal
given twice a day, with light mid
day feed of corn on the cob. ought to
be ample for horse of average size
unless he is thin in flesh. in which
case the corn ration may be heavier.

Mail advices from Chihuahua are to
the effect that among the prisoners
killed in chihuahua in the attempt to
escape from the penitentiary last week,
was J. c. Searcy, a railroad conductor
of Temple, Texas. Searcy was a CON
ductor on the Mexican Central railroad
when five years ago he shot and killed
Mexican with whom he had han
words, entering his victims home and
firing the fatal shot when the Mexican
made a suspicious move for weaDon.
Searcy was the man whom MAYOR
Hamill, of Temple, referred to in his
appeal to the Texas congressman TO in
vestigate conditions in Mexico. which
complaint was submitted to the state
department shortly after the Come
Palacio riot
Searcy was shot and killed within
100 yards Of the jail door. Others
reached point 200 and 800 yards awaV
before being killed. All the dead CON
victs had two bullet holes. the second
evidently being the tira de gracia.
Searcy was shot through the tAmnla
apd through the cheek.
1t is also reported that one of the
federal officers was killed. probably
an accident.
