Wedding Cotronsced Meal.

Cottonseed meal often pOisons hogs,
and for this reason we advise against
It's use. There seems, however, to be
considerable variation in the poison
Gus qualities OF cottonseed meal, and
many experiment stations have fed 1t
with good results. The pigs generally
seem to like it, and do well upon it
for a month and sometimes for two
months. or even longer If the meal
does not form any large part of the
ration. In the south It is fed in con-
siderable quantities by hog men. The
way it Is prepared now, however,
there seems to be some danger, and
we advise most farmers not to use II
at all If you wish to take the risk
and experiment with it, use about
one part OF cottonseed meal TO ten
parts Of corn, and watch hogs care
fully for any signs OF sickness. We
believe that after little experience
many feeders should be able to give
cottonseed meal to hogs with but
very little risk especially I'm feeding
periods OF less than forty or fifty
days.-WallaCe's Farmer.

NEW BRITAIN, Conn, Feb. "a
double murder, the circumstances OF
which are veiled in mystery, was dis
covered today when the bodies Of Rev
erend Joseph Zebris and his house
keeper, Miss Iva Gilman, were found
in the rectory Of St Andrews Lith-
uanian church here. There were bullet
wounds I'm both bodies and a rope was
tightly tied about the neck Of each

lock. Rev. Zebris was on the floor
of his study on the first floor, The
rectory had been ransacked. Tools
used by burglars were found in the
house. The police say they have no
clue to the identity Of the murderer,
1t is known that the priest has re-
ceived threatening letters demanding
money The circumstances indicate,
the police say, that the priest was
killed first and that Miss Gilman,
hearing the scuffle and coming to the
rescue was pursued upstairs and shot

BANKS A PART OF
THE GOVERNMENT T
Can Not BE Sued Without
the Consent Of
the State.

Special Go The World.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb .. - An
other case sustaining the standing of
the banking department as a part Of
the state government and cannot bQ
sued without the consent Of the state,
was disposed of by thesupreme court
today in an opinion written by Justice
Brown. II was the case Of Charles
w. Schroeder, who sued j. ID. Lank-
ford, as bank commissioner, and the
banking board to recover money from
the guaranty fund. Schroede got
Judgment in the oklahoma county
district court, which is reversed by
the high courts opinion.
Schroeder bought a note and placed
the money In the Planters & Mechan-
les bank to be left there The opn-
ion recites that the bank appropriated
the cash and placed a note in its stead
and that when the bank later failed
this note with other assets OF the bank
was taken by the banking department
when IL took charge Of the bank.
Schroeder brought suit in the district
court and got judgment for 4,15O,
the fun amount. Landlord, represent
ing the banking department, appeared
in court and defended the case.
The courts have held that the bank
ing department was part of the
state government and could not be
sued without its permission. A similar
point is involved in this case. The
opinion holds that the fact that Lank-
ford appeared and defended the case
does not act as a waiver OF immunity
given the department; that Landlord
was only used as an individual and did
not represent the whole department of
that portion of the states government,
