CHASTITY FIND is MADE
BY ST. LOUIS POLICE
Nude Body Of a Woman in a
GuNny Sack

St Louis, Mo-, Oct 2S-The nude
and partly decomposed body of a wo-
man with five gashes on the head, a
rope around the neck, and gag in the
mouth, a gunny sack over the head
and the hands tied together with a
cloth, was found in the basement of a
house which had been vacant since
September 8.
One end of the rope was wrapped
around gas pipe in such a way that
it supported the body in a sitting posi-
ton
Indications are that the body had
been in the basement for several
weeks. No weapon with which the
cuts on the head might have been
made were found.
The finding of the body was the re-
suit of a note received by mail by
Chief of Police Young which read:
IF you will go to 1907 Locust street
will find body hanging" The note
was signed Janet Ashley.
Beside the body was a pile of cloth
ing, all of it much worn. On the floor
near the body was a newspaper dated
September 2S, folded so that it dis
played story of the arrest of men al
legged to be connected with the New
Westminster, B. c., bank robbery.
The last tenants of the house are
unable tonight to aid the police in
identifying the woman.

ORANGE TREE is LADEN
WITH FINEST FRUIT
Oranges Grow Well in South Georgia
Town.

Jesup Ga, Oct. &c. w. Nichols, a
wealthy farmer in this county, has an
orange tree with over four crates OF
oranges on it now. Mr.. Nichols says
that these oranges are of fine quality
and are equal to the famous Indian
river oranges. The tree is about fif-
teen years old and has never been pro-
tected. Although the temperature has
been as low as q degrees, the tree
has never been more than slightly in
jured The tree is a seeding, having
been planted from the seed of an i'm
ported orange, and has been raised en-
tirely in this county.

COTTON PICKING
Will BE PUSHED
VIGOROUSLY
FARMERS WILL HARVEST CROP
While the Promise of Good
Weather Holds

Sumter county farmers will be bus
Ter this week, perhaps, than at any
period of the cotton picking season in
determined effort to harvest the re-
mainder of the crop in the field The
weather gives promise of being favor
able, and if the farmers can only Sc
cure the labor required the crop can
soon be gathered and marketed.
Probably half the entire crop local
ly, is still in the fields, due to unpro-
p tious weather during the past month
and while it has deteriorated consid-
erably, every effort will be put forth to
save as much of it as possible.
Many feds in Sumter and neighbor-
ing counties have not as yet been
touched by cotton pickers, due to
weather conditions and the serious
lack of labor for the work This same
condition prevailed here last season.
with the result that great loss was sus-
tanned in the destruction of the staple.
In fact, several thousand bales were
picked after Christmas, the work of
harvesting the crop extending vel
through January, but the staple had
suffered so much from the fall and
winter ra MS that, in many instances,
the price received for it hardly cover
ed the cost of picking and marketing.
If good weather will only prevail for
a time, what remains of the crop can
be gathered within three or four
weeks.

HOGS REQUIRE
GOOD PASTURE
Every Farmer Having Swine
Should Sow Patch of Rape
Seed to Make Suit.
able Grazing.

Hogs require green food along with
. moderate amount of grain; but they
will keep in good, thrifty condition
during the summer months on clover
and grass alone. Every farmer having
hogs should sow a patch of Essex
rape seed. Sow four pounds of clean,
new crop seed to the acre; the ground
must be deep, finely pulverized and In
good order. In ten weeks from sow.
Ing this makes a good pig pasture and
good grazing; the pigs will grow fast
and will be kept healthy. When fed
on rape the pigs should have at all
times mixture of wood and coal
ashes, mixing one handful of salt and
one Of sulphur in each peck of ashes.
The fattening properties of rape are
probably twice as good as those OF
clover. Last falls pigs should be Civ.
en- fine-cut clover hay, mixed with
wheat bran and wheat middlings.
Mix with boiling water A few small
ears Of corn may be given after the
mixed feed is eaten. Have the pens
clean and dry; give a thick bed OF
dry leaves or cut straw. They should
have fresh water daily. Expert breed.
ers give the following mixture to their
hogs: they consider it better than
wood and coal ashes alone: Ten
pounds of burnt bones, 10 pounds OF
water and 10 pounds Of sulphuric acid.
The burnt bones are put into an iron
pot and moistened with the water;
the acid is then slowly poured over
the mass and we'll stirred in. Great
care must be used in handling the
acid, as the least drop on the hand
will burn like fire. Mix this with an
equal quantity Of freshly burnt hard,
wood ashes; let the pigs have little
of this mixture twice a week. 1t is
especially good for pigs troubled with
tumors caused by eating too much
corn. Have a grass pasture or dry
yard adjoining the pens, as they must
have plenty Of exercise to keep them
In good, thrifty condition.

pounds Of corn. Begin with a light
ration and work up gradually to the
maximum. They should be ready to
market the latter part of July.
Prime corn-fed cattle are scarce
during the summer, as most of the
feeders in the lots are finished and
shipped out before this time. The
packers must have cattle with some
finish, and they pay a good price to
get them. Coming on the market at
this time, the steers fed on grass will
bring almost as good price as stock
fed full grain ration in a dry lot
The success of this plan of feeding
is due to the How price at which the
cattle can be bought and the thin con-
dition of the animals coming in the
common class of feeders. Making eco
nomical gains is not breed but a
type characteristic. Often the best
and poorest gains made are by indi-
viduals of the same breed.
Less labor is required with summer
feeding. The cattle gather their
roughage. and the manure produced
by them is distributed, and evenly In
winter, dry-lot-feeding steers are fed
a ration of 1S to % pounds of grain
and to pounds of hay apiece, when
on full feed.

YOUNG WOMAN
GOT HER EGGS
Small Flock OF PuIIets Installed

Medicine.

A young lady living in a small city
had impaired her health by too con-
fining work in city office, says
Christian Herald. Her physician Or
dered her to sanitarium for rest and
upbuilding, and when she returned to
work he instructed her to eat four
fresh-laid eggs daily; two eggs for
breakfast, and the others raw, in milk.
Finding it difficult to obtain depend
ably fresh eggs, she persuaded her
mother to permit her having small
flock in the home yard A portable
house was purchased and fifteen pull
lets installed in it. A small brother
was paid 10 cents a week to feed and
care for the flock, two bags of ready
mixed food were bought, and the re-
suit of the venture was not only all
the eggs the young lady needed and a
supply for the family, but there was a
surplus which found a ready market
at the corner drug store, bringing 10
cents dozen above the market price.

Choice beef can be produced with
less high-priced feed, and at a lower
cost, than 1t is produced by most feed
ers, thinks P. N. Flint, assistant pro-
fessor OF animal husbandry at the
Kansas Agricultural college. Pro-
fessor Flint believes in less expen-
sive method of fattening, in which
grass is the principal diet.
The common feeding practice OF
many Of the farmers of the corn belt
is an expensive process. The cattle
are fed during the winter months.
Sheds have to be provided for shelter.
The cost Of hauling and feeding the
roughage for the cattle when in dry
lot is not small item. Bad weather
is another Objectionable feature-more
feed is required by steer to make
the same gain.
The feeding practice for more profit
is this: Common feeders-Cattle in
thin flesh-may be bought at low
price. Get steers two or three years
old. Feed them plenty of roughage to
keep them in good condition until they
are turned out on grass. A few hours
a day on pasture is long enough at
first, until their systems get accus-
toned to the change. Feed the steers
running on grass ration of 8 to IA
