Bud Perkins Killed.

At a beer drinking at Emma
Sherrod's house in the northern
portion of town on Saturday
night Bud Perkins, one Of the
employees of the Tupelo Oil and
Ice Co., was stabbed twice in a
row that arose over the question
of a small amount Of money. 1t
is stated that Perkins took from
the table the money that had
been wagered on the quantity OF
beer that could be drank by some
members of the party, when he
was set upon by four or five 9TH
ers of the party and stabbed
once in the lungs and once in
the bowels. We are informed
that the crowd that set upon
Perkins included Jeff Ware. Will
Rogers, Charlie Sadler, Turner
Gardner and Lee Thomas.
From the statement of men,
bers of the party it is believed
that Turner Gardner Gid the
stabbing, at least the first cut,
which was driven into Perkins
lung while the crowd was strug-
Cling in the house. The second
stab was administered in the
bowels after the crowd had
struggled through the door and
into the yard. 1t is not stated
by those who were present
whether or not Gardner admin
istered the second blow with the
knife.
The crowd, composed of about
25 or 30 negroes, left and Per-
kins was taken to his home where
he was attended by physicians,
who sron saw that his wounds
were fatal He fingered until
Monday night and died after
much suffering. Deceased was

years and his EMPLOYERS gave
him a good name.
Jeff Ware, Will Rogers, Lee
Thomas, and Charlie Sadler were
arrested and placed in Jail.
Turner Gardner left and has not
yet been apprehended. He was

A RATION FOR FATTENING.
Problem Important One and Various
Grains are Good.

The question of ration for sheep at
this time OF the year is an important
one All OF the various farm grains
have been used with more or less sue
cess. Corn easily leads the list as the
best single grain for fattening lambs.
1t is especially desirable because it
causes the lambs To put on fat rapidly
and does not stimulate too much
growth as in the case with many forms
of concentrated feeds. Barley has
also been used to very good advant-
age. 1t is about on par with corn
fed from the standpoint OF rapidity.
and economy of gains but lacks same
in palatability. Wheat and wheat
screenings have both been used to
iatten lambs. The feed has too much
tendency to cause the lambs to grow
rather thar fatten. When combined
with an equal amount of corn the
lambs put on fat much more rapidly
Oats is a useful feed, but, like wheat,
is more liable to induce growth than
iattening. 1t should be mixed with
corn for best results. Oatmeal, cot
tonsced meal and gluten feed have all
been used in conjunction with corn
rations to good advantage. Not more
than one-half pound of either oilmeal
or cottonsced meal should be fed a
lamb weighing from SO to 90 pounds,
While wheat bran itself is not helpful
in putting on fat, it is one of the best
feeding stuffs available to use in con
junction with corn or other feeds in
getting lambs on full feed. 1t fur
nishes bulk, thus prevents the greedy
ones from getting too much concen-
trates and also acts as a regulator OF
the digestive system.

DAIRY NOTES.

Continued care in handling the
dairy products is the price of success
A dairy COW should be allowed to
rest from six To eight weeks before
freshening.
Where dairying is not practiced the
calf will also have to pay for keeping
the cow year.
The mangel is excellent for stock
feed, being greatly relished by milk
cows in winter
Dairy cows will fall off in milk un-
less they are fed grain, even if the
pasture is pretty good. FEf
The pals, strainers, cans and sep
arators must be thoroughly cleaned
each time they are used,
The best time to dehorn calves is
when they are but few days old by
the use of caustic potash.
There is more fat lost in skimmilk
through improper running OF the sep
arator than in any other way.
The best market for skim milk on
the farm is afforded by good dairy
calves and quick growing pigs.
1t is estimated that 1000 pounds OF
milk will take elements of fertility
from the soil valued at less than 81.
The only honest way to water milk
is by giving the water to the cows.
They should have an abundance of il
at all times.
To have a COW make good official
record is now worth more than to
have her take lot of first prizes
in the show ring,
! The introduction of cooperative
testing associations would be a source
of education and stimulus to all
dairymen and farmers.
1t pays to be on the best of terms
with all the farm stock This OF
course. does not imply most friendly
terms with the herd bull.
The COW that has liberal appetite
and at the same time turns large
share Of her feed into dairy products
is the cow that brings the greatest
profit.
If the dairymen could come into di-
rect contact with the people who eat
their butter there would be less need
of discussing the subject of making
better grade of butter

Cattle Feeding in Sheds.

The result of seven years of expe-
rimental work by the Pennsylvania
agricultural experiment station indi-
Gates that an open shed boarded up
closely on three sides and kept well
bedded at all times, is more efficient
OF a barn. During the winter of 1909
1910 cattle fed in an open shed made
more rapind gains, attained a higher
finish, sold for IS cents per 100 more
and returned ITO cents more for each
bushel OF corn consumed than similar
steers fed in the barn They also re.
CURED less labor in bedding. and more
straw was used in bedding.

STOP ESCAPE OF MOISTURE.
Farmers in Semi-Arid Region Should
Endeavor to Prevent Evaporation

The escape of moisture, not the
lack of it, is what has done the so
called dry west the greater harm
Today we passed spot where two
men were digginga cellar. 1t is in a
ing down a foot or two, is almost as
be irrigated, and the subsoil after go
very dry country where all crops must
hard as rock and has to be ioosened
by sharp pick or by dynamite
Across this cellar soil an oil road had
been made which formed perfectly
impcrvious crust two or three inches
ture could by any possibility go to
deep Through this oil crust no mois-
the soil beneath it, and on the other
hand not a particle of moisture could
escape from the soil under it into the
air above. As the men slowly dug in
To the flinty dry subsoil just beside
this hard waterproof surface they re
marked that when they got under the
road where no rain moisture could by
any possibility come they feared it
would be like rock Curious to see if
just the opposite might not prove to
be the case. the writer with sharp
pick succeeded in barring good strip
of the soil under the oil road To the
surprise of the d ggers, both soil and
subsoil under the alright covering
was so moist that it could be spaded
readily with but very little use of the
pick
We cannot cover our farms with an
air tight protector, but in every way
in our power we should shut off evap-
Grafton. The high winds, the dry air
and the hot sun all combine to take
the moisture from our soil just when
we need it most.
That is one great reason why the
forest condition brought about by the
cool shady. protection of the corn
field, leaves our corn land with so
much more moisture in il than open
roadways or grain fields.
The cultivation, too. tends to take
the place OF the oiled roadway For
this reason. too. our grains should BE-
put in early and as soon as possible
be made to shade and protect the
surface soil.
The same principle is involved
when on some soils some seasons the
grain does so much better or being
lightly narrowed when two inches or
so high. 1t is why lightly disked or
sharply narrowed stubhle land grows
better corn or grain il thus treated the
moment the snow is off Any thing
and everything that will tend to pre-
vent the escape OF subsoil moisture
will tend just as strongly to give us
a good crop and a certain one. Evap
Grafton should be headed off in every
way in our power. 1t is like letting
our money run to waste to let our
subsoil moisture get away from us.

OATS SUITED TO IRRIGATION
Kherson Variety Has Been Found
Best for Early Ripening.

In reply to query as to whether
oats grown in Iowa would do we'll on
irrigated land in KimbaIl county,
Nebraska, E. A. Burnett, director of
the Nebraska experiment station.
makes the following reply:
1t is always a doubtful policy to
transfer seed grain from one region
to another unless the climate condi-
tons in the region to which the grain
is transferred are very similar to
those where the grain is formerly
raised. Experiments at the Nebraska
station show that corn which has
been acclimated by growing it several
years in the same locality yields bet
ter than when first introduced from a
different locality, especially from one
where the rainfall is greater and the
elevation and the climatic conditions
differ. II these oats are to be used
under irrigation, as suggested, the
it is assumed that plenty of water can
be furnished for the crop during the
period when it is maturing. The oat
which has proved most suitable for
central and western Nebraska, and in
fact for eastern Nebraska under
natural rainfall. is the Kherson oat,
which is common in Nebraska and
may possibly be raised in Iowa.
Should this variety be the Kherson
oat. it is entirely possible that it
might be suitable for kimball county.
The kherson has been found spe
cially suitable for Nebraska on &C
count OF its early ripening.
In years when the summer drouth
cuts off the moisture supply and the
hot winds burn the later varieties.
the kherson has often been ripe and
harvested before these drouths be
come severe Under irrigation the
later oats are grown in western Ne
braska and are thought to outyield
the early varieties Ny advice would
be to purchase seed oats that have
previously been grown under irriga
ton in SCOTS Bluff or kimbal county
or in eastern Colorado

Sweet corn is one of the very best
crops to grow to feed as a soiling
crop to the dairy cows in summer.
just after the COW has freshened
she should have the same feeds she
has been given previous to calving
1t is best to reduce the milk pro-
ducing food, so that a mature COW
will dry and rest for month to six
weeks before calving.
Successful dairying is largely a
matter of securing cheap feed, as well
as good cows The silo is one method
of economizing on feed

Had it been an open ear, conditions
would not have been so bad as, in
that case. the passengers could have
clung to the running board and perhaps
sat on the fender.
However, the passengers could see no
reason why the company could not have
put on an extra car. ina smuch as they
must have known of the large number
of people attending the festival, since
Cne car alone. going to Montpelier, car
ried l03 passengers. The returning trip
