PEDRO RIVERS WAS
 FOULLY MURDERED

At the military reservation at Fort Huachuca. Pedro Rivera was brutallN murdered by fellow countrymen on Wednesday night, according to ad- vices that were received in Bisbee last night. Four arrests have been made and the suspects are prisoners charg- ed with cOmplicity in the crime but It IS thought that the two men who are most responsible for the butchery are not in this number since two men made their escape and the evidence points to these two being the most guilty of the six who were involved in the affair.

SELECTION OF sILAGE CROPS
New England Homestead Picks Corn,
Red Glover, Rye, Wheat, Alfalfa
and Soy Beans.

The plants most valuable for silage
In western Massachusetts are corn.
red clover, rye, wheat, alfalfa and soy
beans, says the New England Home
stead.
Corn Is the greatest silage plant
1t will produce the largest amount or
desirable silage, Is to 20 tons of the
green fodder being taken from an acre.
Most of the large varieties of corn are
suitable for silage, but the heavier
the growth the better, for it produces
more food per acre.
Silage corn should mature early,
especially before a frost, and should
bear satisfactory yield of corn. The
corn should not be cut until perfect
ly ripe, because there will be too
much water in the stalk and the food
value is lessened. Almost all silage
corn is planted in drills from eight to
ten inches apart, always in a well cub
tiyated soil. Red clover, if put in the
silo in the right condition, makes an
excellent feed. The only loss with
clover In the silo is the loss by fer
mentation that occurs If it be green
and the blossoms not well cured. The
yield of clover per acre is slightly
under that of corn; and, on the whole,
clover is not thought by dairymen to
be as nutritious.

Cost of CareIessRess.

A great deal of time and feed are
often lost through carelessness on the
part of the feeder in getting his lambs
on feed, 1t is said that nowhere does
the skill of the attendant show up
more plainly than in getting the lambs
on a full grain allowance without get
ting a single one "off feed" The
amount fed at first should be small
Lambs that have not been accustomed
to grain should not receive more than
one-tenth pound Of grain per day at
the start. This should be increased at
the rate of one-tenth pound every
third day until the full allowance has
been reached. Some wheat bran added
to the regular grain ration will prove
very helpful during the first 80 days
of the feeding period. The lambs
should be fed at regular hours and the
troughs should always be kept clean.

stalks from which the tops have been
removed, placing the stalks across the
pit with one end resting on the board
and the other on the ground; spread
over this a light covering OF straw or
other material which will pack close,
and as the weather becomes colder,
increase the covering to keep out the
frost.
Celery stored in this manner will
keep until late in the winter, and
while the method Is too laborious for
application on a large commercial
scale. it Is to be recommended for the
use of the farmer and small grower
because of its simplicity.
The unused pit of a permanent hot
bed may be utilized as q storage place
for celery by removing the. surplus
earth and substituting a covering OF
boards for the sash.
The celery IS stored in the same
manner as In the trench, and the bed
may be covered with any material
which will keep out frost.

KEEP CELERY ON The AKIN
Crop Is Becoming More Popular as 1t

ways Saiabls.

A great deal of celery is now being
grown on the farm, more than ever
before, as farmers find this crop not
difficult and always salable.
Where but small quantity is to be
stored for winter sale or use in the
family, it can be banked up with earth
where the plants are grown.
The earth should be placed around
the base of the plants to hold them in
good form and where they can remain
without further banking until there il
danger of a hard frost.
The earth should be turned up to
the very tops of the plants, almost
covering them, and then as the
weather becomes colder the ridge
should be covered with coarse stable
manure. straw or corn fodder held In
place by means of boards fastened
with sticks.
A very good method for the farm Is
