PRISONER ASKS TO BE SHOT
Fort Leavenworth Trooper Tries 70
Garry Out Wishes of Man in
His Charge, But Misses.

William Smuckler, a prisoner In the
guardhouse at Fort Leavenworth
awaiting trial for desertion, asked
his sentry, Joseph r. Lawson, Troop
E, Fifth Cavalry, to shoot him and
relieve him of his anxiety. Lawson
at first refused, but Smuckler insist
ed and finally Lawson granted his
request.
Lawson stood Smuckler up with his
back TO the boiler house wall, backed
away ten PAGES, took deliberate aim
with his carbine and fired.
You missed" shouted Smuckler.
Try it again. Hurry
Lawson was throwing another shell
into his carbine when a civilian en-
pIoyed at the boiler house caught his
arm and prevented the second shot.
The incident happened March 3, but
was not reported to the officers until
'the other day, when Smuckler was
taken violently insane and sent to the
hospital. Lawson was arrested, but
refused to discuss the shooting CT
villains employed at the boiler house
insist that Lawson was drunk.

new CORN PRODUCT
Oil Made From Maize is Good
Substitute for Lard,
As Shortening.
BAKERS ARE EXPERIMENTING
Dean sayre of Kansas University is
Confident that "corno'' is Great
Improvement.

"Corno" is the name the students
In the chemistry department of the
University of Kansas have applied to
the new food compounds of corn oil
that Dean L. E. Sayre and his assist
ants have prepared to take the place
Of lard and the cottonseed oil short
ening mixtures. Como is made
from tie oil of the maize grain, which
is an important by-product in the
milling Of corn for starch and other
products Until the discovery of its
food value by experts at the suniver-
sity it practically was wasted.
Professor Sayre has a bakery in
st. Louis experimenting with corn
oil as a shortener, and expects to
make arrangements with Lawrence
bakers to test out "corno.''' The corn
oil is compounded with suet in order
to make a digestibIe shortening that
is at the same time palatable.
Lard is hard for many persons
to digest" sad Professor Sayre, land
a palatable substitute which is at the
same time cheap, has long been
sought. Cottonseed and palm oil
products are used more and more
every year, and I have no doubt but
that our experiments here will lead
to the manufacture of a similar prod
uct made from the oil of corn.

raise three and four thousand
chickens every year. and find the per
centage of mortality small in the win
ter and early spring. The cost Of rails
ing broiler chicks in January and
February is no greater than in May
and June. The latter are marketable
in July and August when the market
is glutted.
The April and May returns are from
35 to so cents per pound, 60 to 80
cents per chicken, which costs about
25 cents to raise-a very good profit
On the other hand the August price
shows but a small margin Of profit
with a lower per cent. of matches
and larger per cent Of mortality
The secret of profit from broiler
raising is to produce high class broil-
ers that will bring top prices at the
smallest cost with rapid growth. Eggs
averaging high in fertility, produced
by stock that is strong and vigorous,
make the battle half won at the start.
The business is not only good now,
but will be even better in the future,
as wild game disappears. Much Of the
prairie chicken and quail served at
fashionable hotels are nothing more
or less than common guinea hens and
pigeons. When a knowledge Of this
fact becomes more common the do
nestle hen will become more popu-
lar and her products consequently
higher in price

CANADA WINNING
CHAMPIONSHIPS
IN AGRICULTURE
The Latest Is Winning Cham
pionShip for Oats a Third
Time.

Recently was published the fact OF
remarkable winnings by Canadian
farmers in several events during the
past three or four years. The latest
is that of Messrs. J. G. HilF & Sons
OF Lloydminster, Saskatchewan, who
won in hard contest for the oat
championship over Montana. At the
National Corn Exposition at Dallas
during February. Montana oats were
awarded the championship for the
United States. Waiting for the win
ner of this to be announced was a
peck Of oats belonging to the Ca
madam growers above mentioned, and
alongside of these was a like quantity
belonging to a Minnesota grower, who
was barred from the regular compe-
tition because he was at one time the
winner of the trophy-the prize. The
three entries were side by side on the
judges bench. 1t would not be pos
sible to bring together three more
likely samples. The Montana and
Saskatchewan entries were Of equal
weight-50 pounds to the bushel. The
Minnesota sample was some three
pounds lighter. The award was
unanimous in favor Of the Saskatche-
wan oats. A remarkable feature and
one greatly to the credit Of the Ca
madam product was that the oats,
grown in 1913, were grown and shown
by those who had competed during
the past two years, winning on each
occasion. This, the third winning,
gave them for the third time the
worlds championship and full posses
sion of the splendid $500 silver
trophy contributed by the state Of
Colorado.
The oats which have thus given to
Western Canada another splendid adj
vertising card, were grown 800 miles
north Of the international boundary
line, proving that In this latitude, all
the smaller grains can be grown with
greater perfection and with more
abundant yield than further south In
all this country are to be found farm
ers who produce oats running from
42 to 4S pounds to the bushel, and
with yields Of from so to 100 bush
els per acre. Wheat also does well.
grades high, and yields from 80 to 40
bushels per acre. The same may be
said OF any portion of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, famed
over the world not only as a country
where championship grains are grown,
but where cattle and horses are raised
that also cary OF championships and
where wild grasses are abundant
yielders, cultivated hay and alfalfa
are grown, thus giving plenty Of feed,
and with good climate, sufficient
and plenty OF water, bring
about results such as western Canada
has been able to record. Thousands
of farmers from the United States
who have their homes in Canada bear
ample testimony to the benefits they
have derived from farming in west
ern Canada.-Advertise

POOR SEED CORN THIS YEAR
Tests in Four Counties Show Low vi

uct of 1918.

rests OF corn, kanr, milo and fe-
terita seed by farmers in Greeley,
Wichita, Kearny, Finney, Hamilton,
Scott and Lane counties show the
homegrown product of last years
crops to be in bad condition The
tests in many cases have shown a
terminating power Of less than 40 per
cent, whereas it should average over
So. A dry season last year followed
by late rains caused the seed raised
to be infertile. Practically all of the
seed grown on the uplands in the
counties named has proven absolutely
worthless, and the leading agricul
turists in this section are doing all
in their power to get farmers to i'm
port their seed this year.
District schools are making germi-
nation tests free and newspapers and
city officials are conducting free in
formation bureaus for locating fertile
seed in eastern Kansas. Farmers are
in many counties banding together for
cooperative seed buying and shipping
in their entire supply of seed for the
year.
