Killed Deputy Marshal

Welty crawled and walked, how
ever. fifteen miles 10 the home of q
friend, where he was captured the
next day. Cravens also sought con
cealment at friends home the neNt
day. In again escaping he shot and
killed Deputy Marshal Tom Johns
of Pawnee county. Numerous attempts
have been made since to capture
Cravens but all failed until early
last year a barber in the Missouri
penitentiary informed an officerN that
a convict called Charles Maust was
knomn in the Kansas prison as Ben
Cravens and that he had shaved him
there. This led to an investigation.
Maust was identified as Cravens an(
brought to the federal jail here or
Nov. last, to stand trial for II
Red Rock murder. He declared he
was not Cravens and on that ground
only fought the case.
Escape from County Jail.
Not only did he escape from the
Kansas prison, but also from the
county jail at Topeka, Kan, and the
Pottawatomie county jail at Tecum-
sch, Okla. When arrested as Maus,
he attempted a Jail break at Mound
City, Mo For this reason he has
been guarded closely since brought
to Guthrie and kept continually in
a cell Cravens is now 80 years oil.

his father still lives. His family is

Judge Instructs Jury.
Federal Judge John H. Cotteral
instructed the jury that the verdict
must be for murder or aaquit,al. if
the identification of Maust as Cra-
vens was fully established At the
request of Attorney Jennings for the
defense, an additional instruction was
given that the failure of the de-
'endant TO testify cannot be used as
evidence against him.

PREVENTION OF ROPY MILK
Caused by Certain Bacteria, One Type
of Which Is Found in Dirty,
Stagnant Water.

A woman reader wishes help regard
Ing ropy milk, asking the cause and
the cure The milk is strained at
night and the next morning the cream
Is ropy and must be thrown away. 1t
is not always easy to trace the cause
of ropy milk to its source. Without
going into any lengthy explanation, it
may be said that ropy or Shiny milk
is caused by certain bacteria. One type
may be found in dirty, stagnant water.
If the COWS wade in this water their
TANKS and udders become the resting
place for this type. The bacteria are
easily transferred to the milk at milk
ing time. The stable becomes infect
ed, as it were, and also the utensils
that come in contact with the milk.
The germs lodge in the crevices of the
utensils and readily propagate in the
warm milk. The cure lies in absolute
cleanliness. All utensils should be
thoroughly scalded Lime is an ex-
cellent destroyer of all germ life. The
utensils may be given coating of the
slaked lime, then washed in boiling
water. 1t may be necessary to give
the stable a thorough cleaning with
lime used as whitewash.

The baby calf should have her ra-
lions changed by degrees.
Name the calves from the first and
their training will be much easier.
A calf should be fed five times
daily about three pints at each meal.
One of the greatest mistakes in
dairy farming is having too much
land.
No farmer can afford to have a
cheap, inferior made silo on his
farm.
Regularity in feeding and milking
will go a long ways toward making
dairy work successful.
After a COW begins giving new milk
you will find that her udder is some
times "caked." Rub it gently.
A cold rain, fall or spring rain,
will check the flow of milk as much
a)a snow storm if the COWS are ex-
posed.
Look out for the gentle bull. Remem'
Der that it is not usually the roar
ing, believing, clustering bull that does
the killing.
Do not feed the cows corn meal il
you are feeding corn silage, for there
is as much corn in the silage as the
COWS should have.
Butter from fresh and properly
ripened cream not over one day old

if handled gently she will not take OF

Keeping Milk Sweet.

One of our enterprising dairymen
sent a bottle of milk to Paris at the
time of the exposition. 1t made the
journey over ana back, a trip of %
days, and was still sweet. There was
no preservatives used, and the only
precaution was to have the dishes and
bottle perfectly sterile, cooling the
milk at once and keeping it ali the
time at a low temperature. This seems
a good while to keep milk sweet, but
it shows what cleanliness and a low
temperature can do with milk.

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

-Four years ago I had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. l would scratch those places
until they would bleed before l could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over, and the flesh I'M
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes it would begin to itch until
1t would waken me from my sleep,
and | would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced it dry
eczema" | used an ointment which
the doctor gave me, but it did no good
Then he advised me to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. AS this trouble has
been in our family for years. and Is
considered hereditary. l felt anxious
to try to head it off. l got the CUT
cura Soap. Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be just what l needed.
The disease was making great
headway on my system until | got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin of the great pest
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago, until now, have never felt
any Of it's pest, and am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. l always use the
Cuticura Soap for toilet, and l hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment"
(Signed) 1rven Hutchinson, Three Riv-
ers, Mich, Mar. 10. 1911. Although
Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold
by druggists and dealers everywhere,

tom cream line Is apt to be. Normally
this opening is plugged with re-

Animal Should Be Kept n Well
Fenced Pasture-Ration Of Wheat
and Ground Oats ls Good.

The service bull should be kept in
well-fenced grass pasture with a shed
to go under In stormy weather during
the grazing season. Give mixed
grain ration Of wheat bran and ground
oats. Give two or three quarts of
grain night and morning II grass Is
short, an armful of cornfodder should
be fed twice a day. The COW to be
served may be turned into the lot
with the bull; after service, give a
small feed of bran and while bull Is
eating. throw the stanchion lever, thus
securely fastening the bull; the COW
may then be removed without danger.
BY having the cows served so that
part of the herd will come fresh in
the fall and part in the spring. reg
ular quantity OF milk may be had the
year round, without the necessity of
selling off habitat cows at ruinous
prices and buying In fresh cows at
high prices. When this method Is fol-
lowed, the dairyman is always in debt
to the COW dealer.
The bull should be kept In good
thrifty condition. A cross bull may
often be tanned by turning one or two
dry COWS into the lot with him. Bulls
should have daily exercise and be
grain fed II this is not done, they
may become impotent or slow In
serving. The young bull should be
kept in a separate pasture and not ell
| lowed to run with the heifers.

Effect Of Feed on Milk.

Some dairymen believe that if the

have a bad effect upon the milk flow,
but repeated scientific experiments
show that changing from one feed to
another, and frequently additions to
