Stock Beats and Carrots

"Will you kindly give me iRforma-
tion concerning stock beets and stock
carrots, and whether you would ad-
wise an attempt "a raise a small lot
Of them on comparatively high ground
IN this section Of the state? 20. r.
Daley, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma.
These crops have been raised to
limited extent in this state and have
proven very valuable in feeding live
stock and poultry One difficulty that
arises IN the growing Of these crops
is the very hot, dry summers which
we have had I'D recent years. These
crops are raised much the same as
turnips or as corn is raised. preferably
the latter BY growing them in rows
and timing them out as one does a
corn crop, you win be able TO get
much better yield per acre and they
are much easier to handle. For ex-
ample il grown in rows they can be
topped with a hoe and plowed out with
sharp lay By simply running the
plow minus the mould board close to
the surface and cutting OH the ton
root from the beet or carrot then by
using a spike-tooth harrow it is pos
sible to shake them up and shake the
dirt off the roots ana then throw them
in rows preparatory to loading them
in wagons.
The seed should be s0wn IN the late
spring or early summer so that they
will mature in the fall and be ready
to feed when sueculent feed is scarce
either In the dry summer and fall
months or during the enter.
Some complain about being unable
to keep roots here in the winter time.
This should be the least Of the trouble.
II put into an open. cave or even piled
up into pits by seooping out a hollow
In the ground, covering il with coarse
hay or litter sprinKling lime thereon.
then covering TIE pile over after the
pit has been made with the same kind
Of litter and another dressing Of lime
with earth thrown on top to prevent
blowing or drying out and also to help
shed the moisture, one will find that
roots Of this kind will keep very we'll
and can be used for quite a large part

Experiments have been conducted
that prove the mule footed hog to be
as susceptible to cholera as any other
hogs. do not know what other good
qualities these hogs may have. but it
is certain that they are not immune

little, if any, difference in the sus-
ceptibility of the various breeds Il

sat down on the curb to wait.
After a while a pay-enter came

DETECTIVE HIcKEVs STORY.

"The murder of Chris Berry" said
Detective Hickey. was one Of the
greatest mysteries that ever came out
of the Bowery. When at last 1t began
to clear, the crime was fastened so
conclusiyely upon one man, that, had
not developments outside Of the reg
ular investigation interfered, an in
nocent man certainly would have been
executed.
when the body Of Chris Berry. who
was known to everybody in the I'M
derworld, was found lying In the gut
ter at Fifth street at an hour which
was early candle lighting on the Bow
cry, there was not the slightest evil
dence as to the identity of the muir
derer, although the street at that
time was usually crowded.
The body was first seen by a
young man who had Just left the old
Cooper Institute. He gave the alarm.
but nothing had been done up to the
time arrived. / had the body taken
to the Fifth street police station. l
knew Chris well. myself. and hun
dreds of his friends came to the sta
ton house, and also identified him.
They constituted themselves special
detectives to find out, II possible, who
had murdered the king of the Card
Sharps.' A dozen or more theories
were advanced by Chris friends. to
explain the butchery. as he had been
in trouble many times after his return
from the west, but they were theories.
with no evidence to back them up.
THAT which gained the most
weight with me for time was that
Chris had been killed for some quar-
rel concerning a woman.
"one Of the girls that / heard Chris
had taken a fancy to was a Cuban.
She had formerly been the sweetheart
of q Spanish cigar maker In Allen
street. and these were few facts
which picked up which directed sus-
picion toward him. did not find the
girl or where Chris lived until the day
of his funeral, which took place from
his sisters home in Delaney street.
"The girl attended the funeral and
followed Chris body to the grave.
After the burial was over. followed
her to her home and sweated her for
information which would throw some
light on the case. She didn't know
anything Of importance. She told me
where her Spanish lover lived. and
said that Chris had settled all trouble
with him by giving him little money
and getting him place to work In a
gambling Joint In the Bowery.
she said that Chris left home
about noon on the day he was killed.

until the next evening. but he gave
her no hint as to where he was going

ID BIRMINGHAM, ALA.-Notwithstan
ID ing the fact that the United States
Constitution declares that no one shall
be imprisoned for debt, the effort is
sometimes made to use the police
court as a collecting agency, generally
by a creditor preferring a charge OF
obtaining goods by false pretences or
embezzlement OF course this doesn't
always work with the judge. and it
generally results In the prosecutor
being taxed with the costs.
There was reversal of this pro-
cedure the other day at the police
court when Elsie Allen, tall. gaunt
negro woman of forbidding aspect, was
arraigned on a charge of disorderly
conduct based on her efforts to collect
a debt of 20 cents.
The old woman acted as her own
attorney In the case and In the ability
to ask rambling questions easily came
up to any of the distinguished prac-
titioners that daily haunt the city
forum. Not only that, she did what
a lawyer rarely does In the police
court-she cleared the defendant,
thereby setting aside the familiar adj
age that he Tor she) who is his Cor
her) own attorney has a fool for a
client"
The principal witness against the
amiable Elsie was a Xanthic colored
maiden of elephantine proportions
named Molly Maybray. Molly's state
ment was to the effect that she had
purchased 20 cents worth OF peaches
from the angular Elsie, and that she
