DEADLY PISTOL
BATTLE ON TRAIN
One Man Killed and Three Injur-
ed on Norfolk and Western.
COACH is CROWDED AT TIME
r. L. Taylor, Deputy Sheriff, Is
Dead; A. D. Beaver, Former U. S.
Marshal, Is Dying; D. w.
Beaver Is Seriously Injured.

Welch, w. Var. L. Taylor, a
deputy sheriff, is dead; A. w. Beavers,

a quarrel between Taylor and the
Beavers brothers. Taylor was shot
five times and instantly killed. A. D.
Beavers received a bullet in the
abdomen; his brother was shot
through the leg and Hickey, who had
no part in the fight, received a thigh
wound

arrested and lodged in Jail here.
All the parties to the battle are
prominent and well known as officials
in the coal fields. Taylor was deputy
sheriff of Mcdowell county.
The car in which the shooting oc-
Cured was crowded with passengers,
but the duelists shot true to their
aim, only one non-combatant being
hurt.

CAREFUL WATCH ON RESULTS
Abundant Supply of Pure Water
Should Be Within Reach Of Cow
for Large Yield of Milk.

Feed boxes and managers should be
kept clean to see that the cattle clean
up their feed and are keen for the
next feeding.
Keep watch of their droppings to
dee that no food passes through undi-
gested. Note carefully the results of
every change of feed and never make
too radical changes in the ration.
Try to have each COW up to her
maximum production within 30 or 40
days after she freshens
Whether the COW is kept for milk
or butter production it is equally i'm
portant that she be brought to her
highest production of milk regardless
of the quantity of butter fat contained
In the milk.
Unless she be brought to her highest
production in this length of time her
milk yield for that milking period will
be materially decreased. Good pure
water and plenty of-it, should be in a
convenient place where she may have
access to it at all times, so that she
may drink all she wants.
When we consider that a COW needs
five pounds of water to make pound
of milk, 1t is plain to be seen that she
must have plenty of water If she is to
produce large flow of milk. Salt is
another essential and COWS should
have plenty of it to keep them in good
health.

scenery. and it is there, too, that the
pie are portrayed. Southern Ireland
is SO poor in farm lands that the trav-
eler wonders how the peasants live,
surrounded in many places by rocks,
heather fields and peat bogs, with
here and there only little patch Of
reclaimed land, where few potatoes
or some greens may be grown.
Even pigs are scarce. Unless these
little grunters are really kept in the
parlors of the one or two roomed
cabins, they are noted more for their
absence than by their presence. The
beautiful heather fields of the island
are a snare for the stranger who starts
to gather a bunch Of the pretty weeds,
as there is apt to be a particularly
beautiful spray little way of from
the road. But woe unto him who
takes his first step from the highway.
His feet sink to his shoetops into the
marsh. Another step, and it is diff
cult to get out. To attempt to cross
the bog would be serious, and so the
traveller comes to understand why the
peasants do not clear these fields and
plant crops.
Among the peasants there are many
good Irish songs sung and many tales
told Of the "ould days" when dis
cussions with sticks" were the fash
ion. In few old homes the big, stout
shillelahs which have either lost or
won battles have been preserved for
generations, descending with their his
tories from oldest son to Oldest son.
Few tourists return from Ireland with
out a stout bludgeon, but that is a
souvenir made only for the traveller;
its length is only about one-half that
of the old three-foot fighting stick
which was used by friend to crack
his neighbor's skull. In the days Of
faction fighting the followers Of both
sides welcomed the opportunity to get
"clean kilt" as they called 1t, II they
were beaten or to murder, which meant
beat, another. Despite the fact that
the law was opposed to this form Of
amusement it was powerless in the
hands Of judges and juries who them
selves took part in this favorite sport.

Necessarv Hours of Sleep.

John Wesley, the founder of Meth
odism, who attained the age of eighty
eight and who could command sleep
on horseback, says, in some curious
remarks which he has left upon sleep,
that no one measure will do for all,
nor will the same amount of sleep
even suffice for the same person at
all times. More sleep is necessary
when the strength and spirits are ex-
hausted by illness, hard labor or Sc
we're mental efforts. Whatever may
be the case with some few persons
of a peculiar constitution, it is evident
that health and vigor can scarcely be
expected to continue long without six
hours sleep in the four-and-twenty.

Submission Of the Rards.

When st. Patrick visited Ireland.
A. D. 431, he found high standard Of
civilization. He met with men versed
in philosophy and competent to de-
bate with him the merits of the old
religion which they loved and the
new one which he championed.
Though he announced his intention to
destroy their old beliefs they extend
ed to him a hospitable welcome. 1t
is significant that when Patrick ap-
peared before King Leoghaire and his
court at Tara the leader Of the Irish
disputants was Dubthac, chief Of the
bards. When submission was made
to the new creed it was by tender
of his harp by the bard to the saint,
Dubthac exclaiming, Hereafter my
harp shall resound only to the praises
of Patricks God"

tongue, and who speak it in soft, pleas
ing voices. Perhaps it is because the
other races have generally failed to
understand the people of Ireland that
the inhabitants Of the land, although
cordial, assume a reserve with
strangers. If, however, a tourist
boasts of a relationship with one of
their countrymen he is at once taken
into the hearts of the people, who
love to feel fellowship with their
guests.
The traveller who selects the city
Of Dublin for his sightseeing in Ire
land will never feel that he has seen
the land. Excepting the fact that one
hears there the soft, musical voices Of
the people and sees at the hotels aris-
tocratic old ladies often wearing long
white wells extending from the backs
Of their heads to the trails of their
dresses in the style worn by Queen
Victoria, and excepting the fact that
one eats corned beef and cabbage
served at a good class hotel in the
middle of a very hot summer and yet
enjoys it, one would hardly realize
that he is in Erin's isle.

CAREFUL FEEDING PAYS WELL
Common Cows Capable Of Producing
More MIX Than Now Secured
Test at University Farm.

(By T. L. HACKER. University Farm,
st. Paul, Mimi
From careful investigation we find
that our common cows are capable of
producing a much larger yield than is
secured from the average common COW
in the state. During the past decade
we have always had at University
Farm, in the dairy herd, number OF
common cows; that is, cows with no
dairy heredity. The average yield
from these common cows, for % year
ly records, is 5000 pounds of milk.
and 222 pounds Of butter; which last,
valued at 27 cents per pound, is equal
in round numbers to $50, for Gutter
alone. The average receipt per com
mon COW in the state is $46.40; which
shows that the average COW is yield
ing $14 less per annum than she might
easily yield If given the same care
and feed as are given the cows at
University Farm.

FEEDING CALVES IN WINTER
Oats Are Neither Extremely Heating
Nor Fattening, But Build Up AMI
NAL and Give Strength.

If the spring calves are to make
rugged and at the same time rapid
growth, no greater mistake can be
made than to turn them out to pasture
in the fall after they have been
weaned and leave them to subsist en-
tirely upon the grass. However abun9
dant the grass may be, it is impos-
sible for them to keep up a plump,
feshy condition on the grass feed
alone. The great business Of the
growing calf is to make muscle. This
muscle is what gives plumpness and
that feshy appearance to a well-fed
and thrifty calf. For this purpose a
food is called for that is especially
rich in muscle-forming material Grass
is not
No feed will serve this purpose bet
ter than oats. Not only are oats rich
in the materials desired, but that rich
ness is not so concentrated as to make
them a dangerous food. No one ever

injured an animal of any kind by
regular feed of oats. They are neither
extremely heating nor fattening in
their nature, but they tend, instead, to
build up muscles and give an animal
strength and vigor.
As soon as the pastures fail is the
ii me that the calves need this addi-
tion to their ration. Either bring the
calves in to the stables night and
morning or else take the oats to the
pasture, and the gains the calves make
because of this addition will pay all
costs. If at any time the calves are
allowed to grow thin in flesh it will
take long time of good feeding and
careful attention to bring them to
thrifty condition. A growth each day
in the year is what every stock raiser
SHOULD aim for with his young animals.
