Brooklyn Farmer Makes Crew.
some Find While in Search
OF Missing Hogs.
MONEY IS FOUND IN POCKETS
White Man Goes Into Vacant
House, Apparently Sick; I'm
possible to Identity.

I In an abandoned house near Rosine
by the side Of the road leading from
Brooklyn to McLaurin, in the south.
ern part of Forrest county, farmer
looking for some stray hogs, discov.
cred the body of white. man yester.
day, and every effort is being made by
the sheriff's office and the Hattiesburg
police today TO locate relatives of the
man, and to establish his identity.
A description-as good a one as it is
possible to obtain of a man who has
been dead for nearly a month-has
been sent broadcast through the South
by the officials. The body was buried
near Rosine today.
The house is located three miles
from Brooklyn. A man named Peeler
was searching that section for his
missing hogs, when he peered through
one of the windows of the abandoned
building. There ON the floor, face UP,
with a bundle of clothing rolled up as
a pillow upon which the head rested,
he saw the figure of a man. Peeler
entered the house and on coming
closer, saw that the figure was dead.
Sheriff Called.
He returned to Brooklyn, notified
several persons there of his find, and
Sheriff HARRISON was telephoned to.
Accompanied by Coroner Frank Nc
Kenzie, and w. H. Ramsey, under
taker, HARRISON went to Brooklyn in
an automobile. A jury was summoned
and an investigation started. The
body was searched, but there was
nothing about it to establish its iden-
tity. A verdict of death from natural
causes" was rendered.
In the mans pockets were found
$24 in coins and currency, and mum
her of English bank notes. He had a
pipe, a package of tobacco, several
biscuits, and New Orleans Sunday
paper. dated September 3, in his pock
sets The presence of the money and

for his money, and that he did not
starye to death.
The man had been dead for nearly
n month. as the body had dried up con
siderably. Sheriff HARRISON said thai

BLASTING CAPS NEED
CAREFUL HANDLING

Blasting caps are more easily dis
charged than dynamite. Farmers
should be careful in using them in
land clearing operations, IS they con
tain the same explosive used la the
primer of shot gun shell, and are
highly sensitive and dangerous in the
hands of laundering persons.
A few points to remember when us
ing blasting caps or decorators, as
they are sometimes called, are given
by Carl livingston, of the department
of agricultural engineering University
of Wisconsin.
Keep blasting caps dry and away
from 81 cam
If soap is used to make the connee-
ton water tight, it should not contain
much moisture. Common yellow laun-
dry soap is preferable.
Never pick at the white contents of
a cap.
When putting the fuse in the cap,
have three inches at the end straight
ened so that the cap will slide over
the fuse with ease When it stops, eX-
ert no further pressure
Do not crimp the cap with the teeth
or an improvised instrument. Use a
crimpcr. made for the purpose.
When hauling, wrap boxes in grain
sack or horse blanket to protect them
from sudden jars and jolts.
Never carry blasting caps loose IN
the pocket, and never leave them
loose in the dynamite box where a
knife or crimper may strike against
them.
AS further precaution, Mr.. Living
ston has designed a special box for
carrying blasting caps. The details
of its construction may be obtained
upon writing to the department of
agricultural engineering, University
| of Wisconsin, Madison.

Had it not been for frost very early
in the season, Forest county would
undoubtedly have taken first place
among the potato growers in the state,
according to the number ofcertificates

TO TEST SEED FOR FARMERS

The Agricultural Representative will
test seed of any kind for farmers of
the county. The test will include de-
termination of weed seed dirt, noXious
weeds if present and the termination
or per cent of sample that will grow.
This service is free; just send the seed
to the undersigned. Too much empha-
sis can not beplaced on the Importance
of good seed that is free from weeds
and sure to grow. Remember too that
home grown seed is best. All seed
from out-Of- state seed firms does not
come under the provisions of the state
seed law.
In taking samples be sure and mix
the seed we'll AMI take parts of sample
from different parts of bin or from
each of the sacks containing the seed.
A good handful is enough of the
small seeds and about twice as much
of the larger seed.
An article on Wisconsin Pedigree
seeds will appear soon. Read it.

TIGHT SHOEs-COLD FEET

SE1AES-@OLD
"Doctor, why should one of my feet
be colder than the other one?" This
question was put to a Milwaukee ply
stefan the other day and quick as a
flash came the answer:
1T shouldn't"
81 don't suppose it SHOULD, admit
ted the woman in smiling appreciation
of the doctors faeetious dig at her
faulty English and its failure to say
what she had meant, ''but it is, wheth-
err it should be or not. want to know
why"
(Which foot is the colder?" asked
the doctor.
The left one" replied the woman
upon which the medical man assured
her that the seemingly strange condi-
tions was easily explained.
Cold feet are invariably caused by
restricted circulation and are almost
without exception the result OF too
tight shoes The left foot contrary
to common belief, is larger than he
right one and the shoe, therefore, is
larger than the right one and the shoe,
therefore. is ordinarily tighter.
The remedy for cold feet will be
found in low shoes which do not bind
the ankle and in shoes large enough to
permit absolute freedom of motion OF
the toes and the use of the toes as well
as of the ankles in walking. The
average shoe-enslav I'd person walks al
most entirely from the ankle. which
is usually tightly encased in the be-
lief that it needs support and protec-
ton. There is no more excuse for
bandaging and bracing the ankle than
there is for bandaging and bracing the
wrist. Women may find 1t advisable TO
wear loose CATERS with low shoes for
protection against wet skirts but the
way to strengthen weak ankles is to
strengthen them by exercise and not
bv providing them with d permanent
crutch in the form of high, tightly
laced or buttoned shoe.
Shoes, especially for winter wear
should be carefully selected. They
should be fully as wide as the sole of
the foot. The heels, since this con-
cession to custom seems essential,
should be low aud broad. The shoe
should be flexible and shaped so that
the inner side is on a straight line.
Highly glazed finishes, such as patent
leather. should not be worn as they
have a tendency to make the feet
perspire and dry stockings are essen
tial TO comfort in winter time. Wooden
stockings mean an increase in comfort
and to do their work well and with
out complaint, the feet must be COM
