STRAW UTILIZED IN EUROPE
Beets, Mansels, SiIage and Other Forage Crops.

In effect, recent bulletin of the United States department of agricul ture asks why the American farmer cannot put straw to the same use as it is put by the European farmer. In Europe the farmer knows as well as the American farmer that straw is not liked by stock. but instead of burning 1t, or otherwise wasting it, the Euro pean farmer chops 1t up, mixes it with beets, mangels, silage or other feeds, and makes 1t so palatable that 1t can be fed to good advantage.
 The report states that the bureau of crop estimates has found that 10 per cent of the straw produced in the United States is burned. In many dis tricts there are no cattle and remote ness from suitable market makes the sale of the straw unprotitable. But in such cases farmers would profit by an investment in Il few cattle.

FARM ANINAlS
SMALL LETTERS FROM GILTS
Time for Breeding Depends Largely on Size, Vigor and Age-LiabIe to .
 Be Stunted.

The time for breeding gilts depends upon their size and vigor as well as their age. However, it is seldom ad- visable to breed gilt before she is eight months old, and in many cases ten or twelve months is a better age. What is gained by getting litter of pigs soon may be lost in getting a small litter. And if the usefulness of the SOW as brood SOW be impaired the total loss in the end overbalances the gain in getting her to produce early.
 Too young gilts almost invariably have small filters. Then their mann mary organs do not develop right, and this in turn affects the size of litter they will raise next time. If SOW gives milk out of only six teats she cannot raise dozen good pigs. Also too young Sows cannot stand the strain of nursing litter. They do not have the vitality to produce large flow of milk and grow at the same time.
 If gilt is once really stunted in this way she never develops as she other- wise would. She is likely never to raise such strong and vigorous filters as she could if allowed more maturity before breeding.

AUSTRIAN EMPEROR
 CALLED BY DEATH
LONG REIGN OF FRANCIS JOSEPH ENDED AFTER MANY YEARS
 OF ILLNESS.
NEW EMPEROR AT FRONT
Archduke Francis Became Heir to the Throne By Assassination of Arch duke Francis Ferdinand, Prior
 to Outbreak of War.

London-Emperor Francis Joseph died at Schoenbrunn castle, according to a Reuter- dispatch from Vienna by way of Amsterdam.
 The first intimation received here that Emperor Francis Josephs health was again the subject of worry, was contained in a dispatch dated Novem- Der 12 from a Vienna news agency, which reported that the emperor had been suffering for some days from slight catarrhal affection.
 Subsequent reports, more or less conflicting, represented that his condi- ton was becoming worse, but none in- dicated that his illness threatened to reach a critical state and from Viep- ma came assurances that he was still able to give audiences to one or more ministers daily.
 What gave some credence to the suspicion that his condition was much graver than the official bulletins indl- cated. was the report which still lacks official confirmation. that it had Oeen decided to associate the heir to the throne. Archduke Charles Francis, in the government of the country and that he was to assume the position on December on the siXty-eighth annt- versary of the emperor's ascension to the throne.
 So far as Is known here Archduke Charles is still at the front in con- mand of the army. A Geneva dis patch, forwarded to Reuters by way of Amsterdam. quotes ,Ae katolische Zeitung as saying the sacrament was administered to Emperor Francis Jo- seph Saturday.
 Archduke Charles Francis, grand nephew of the Emperor Francis Jo- seph. became heir to the throne of Austria Hungary by the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand prior to the outbreak of the war. He has been in command of the Austrian ar mics on various fronts during the past two years.
 Archduke Charles Francis was born on August r, 1887 His wife was Prin- cess Zita of the Bourbon house of Par ma. His father was the Archduke Ot- to, who was the younger brother of Francis Ferdinand.

SWEET CLOVER WON'T BlOAT
Belief Been Held Long and Supported by Good Testimony-cases Re-
 ported in Iowa and Nevada.

The belief that sweet clover will not cause bloat has been held so long and has been supported by such good testi' mony that it has come to be accepted as a fact. Several authentic cases of sweet clover bloat have been observed, however, in Nevada and Iowa, and owners of cattle and sheep who have sweet clover pastures will do we'll to exercise caution.
 The danger is not as great as in pas turing alfalfa, since sweet clover has in 1t substance known as coumarin, which offsets bloating, though in view of tha latest observations it does not prevent it entirely.

In the course of the drill they lined up outside the saloon with empty dishes Supposed to contain curry and rice), and. on a bell being rung marched to their respective tables and proffered the dish to each seat, con taining an imaginary diner.
 The eagle eye of the chief noticed that one steward Ca cockney named BilD deliberately passed one of the seats without protfering the dish. He strode up to the table, and his manner betokened trouble for Bill.
