An analysis made by Mr.. Cobb at the

the corn to have a greater nutr1tive
value than Indiana corn.
Since native corn is selling at 60
cents. the imported article would
mean a saving to cattle feeders II
1t proves satisfactory. Prof. A. 7.
Wiancko Of the Indiana experimental
station. advised County Agent Cobb to
have the corn thoroughly tested by US
ing it exclusively as feed and making
comparison between Argentine and
Indiana corn fed cattle, before recon-
mending 1t to farmers.
He tested ten ears Of Indiana dent
corn at Mr. Cobb's request and return
ed a comparative scale today. The let
in part, and the comparison of the
corn follows:
you will see that the Argentine
corn is extremely low In moisture,
which makes the other constituents
relatively high. 1t is undoubtedly
richer than our corn, but the fact it
is SO extremely hard probably offsets
this to large extent, and it may be
possible that when fed whole, less of
the nutriment contained would be Sc
secured than in the case Of a softer
native corn. 1t would be a good thing
If cattle feeders would take up the
question and make comparison.

sor. THE arrival of the troops of
Gen. Francisco Villa from the north
and of Gen. Emiliano Zapata from
the south, has been followed by COM
parative calm in Mexico City, after
one of the most trying weeks in its
long history. For a time it was
feared the city, stripped of defenders,
would be given over to anarchy and
loot, but prompt action of volunteer
guards, REINFORCED by troops which
arrived in the nick of time, put an
end to rioting.
Gen. Villa has given every guar
antee that life and property will be
safeguarded, and thus far his prom
ises have been carried out.
For one week Mexico City has been
isolated from the outside world, SO

the only means of getting this story
was through pledged secrecy. no

the facts as given are vouched for
by men in good standing. This Aus

that the Austrian told him how he

A STORY THAT IS TOLD IN WHISPERS
AND CLOTHED IN DEEPEST MYSTERY
INDIAN FOLK LORE LEGENDS.
The Legend of Pontchatoawa (Sing-
ing hair).

I .
When the redmen dwelt within the
! forest wild,
Where Louisiana's streams run to
| and fro,
Takalaha, with Ochakwa, his child,
Ruled where the Pontchatoawa's
waters flow.

The Chief and all his tribe were
ugly-faced,
And cruelty ran riot in their band:
In Ochakwa alone was beauty traced,
For he was good and was loved
thrOuhout the land.
When prisoners were burnt around
the stake,
The Cnieftian's boy would run
away and hide,
Because their shrieks would make
his young heart quake,
And in the solitude he wept and
cried.
One day, when prisoners he, had rot
Arose his fathers wrath to mighty
height,
Who soon did tie him trembling to
q tree,
Where tossed the boy in pain, all
day and night. ,
The fire burned and leapt about him
there,
But still untouched. his face shone
pure and bright,
When quickly slashed his sire his
head, in air,
While sang the boy like some
strange bird In sight.
His head was hung upon messy tres:
Which held his shaking locks up
on the breeze;
And ever hummed the trees ii mys-
terry,
About the place where splashed
the summer seas.
The forests echo yet the boys sad
fate,
For cen the birds did carry on his
To spread it in some nest to waiting
mate,
And sing his name in springtime
on the air.
And still the Spanish mosses lull to

While 1iL. swayins in the golden wood
The trees yet DER the Indian will

In lonely vigils, his sad tale to

Remarkably improbable In Its Intimatons,
Yet Vouched For BY Some Impressed
With TruthfuIness of Its Outlines

Just what it is it is hard to tell
It is not all fear, all loyalty or patri-
otic love of country; yet the unfath-
omable, invariable and almost uncan-
ny fealty Of the German and Austri-
an to the mother country takes shape
even unto the sanctity of the royal
heritage of blood that flows through
bluer veins than those that serve the
arteries of the common herd. There
may be NO thought of return to the
mother country. Property interests
and family ties may have even shut
of all hope or desire to return, yet
all the impulses cling to subservience
to the wishes Of those who could
command if they were returned.
This is not simply a sympathy bred
of war or a sentiment nourished by
the devastation of its affliction; it is
more popularity of habit, that is
never outgrown, and it was forced
into prominence when a representa-
tive of the Farmer attempted to
trace up story that became current
regarding the reported residence here
at one time Of q very prominent per-
sonage Of Austria-Hungary.
Some six or seven years ago Gov
ington organized troop of cavalry
and many of our best young men
Joined. It became quite fad to be
q trooper and to sit we'll in the sad
die and be able to go through the
maneuvers with credit was an ac-
complishment to be proud Of. About
this time there came to Covington
q man probably forty-five years of
age. He was intelligent and had the
bearing Of q gentleman Of attain
ments, but distinctly q military car
riage. He Joined the troop. In the
saddle he could have been picked out
at any time for an old cavalryman.
It was evident that the new member
was an addition Of no small inn
portance.
It happened that at this time there
was an Austrian living in Covington
who came from q place near Vienna,
