Milbankr'That he came to his
death from a shotgun in the hands of
Herman F Miles, is the material part
OF a verdict returned by a coroner's
jury which investigated the tragic
death of Herman C. Niles, a we'll
known Grant county farmer, who was
shot and killed by his son., Herman
F. Niles, as the result of a family quar-
rel.
The circumstances surrounding the
Staying Of the father by the son were
OF the most distressing character. The
son is but Is years of age. The father
was shot with a 12-gauge shotgun
charge, which entered the left breast
Gasping to his son the words, "Now
you've done it! What did you do that
for?' the father fell dead.
At the coroner's inquest, Mrs. Niles,
widow of the dead man, told Of a quar-
rel on the morning Of the tragedy
which started " a pair of o~veralls
which her husband was going to wear
and which she told him the boy ought
to have Niles, the testimony showed,
called his wife a vile name and a few
minutes later after further quarreling,
he slapped her.
The boy told the officers his only
reason for shooting his father was a
desire to help his mother, and he has
not exhibited the slightest remorse at
any time since the tragedy. 1t appears
that Niles treated his family in a very
brutal n at all times.

PROPAGATING BY CUTTING
By W. r. GILBERT.

Where thousands OF plants are grown
for positions in the open air dur
ing the summer, this is an important
operation from March onward. Con-
siderable forethought and knowledge
Of the work are necessary to obtain the
plants in suitable condition and In SUI
ticient numbers, when the time for
planting out arrives.
Although decried by some, the scar.
let geranium still has hosts OF admir-.
ers, especially since the introduction
of the variety-Paul Crampel.
Cuttings of the varieties of which
the numbers are short can be inserted
now. These may be obtained from the
old plants lifted from the beds in the
autumn, or few tops may be taken
off the strongest of the young plants.
Inserted in light, sandy soil they will
soon root on a shelf in warm house.
Cuttings of iresine, coleus, ageratum,
heliotrope, verbena, fuchsia, f1brous-
rooted begonia, etc., when required in
quantity should be inserted in a bed
Of sand made up in propagating
frame with bottom heat. Three inches
Of sand will be sufficient and If this
is made firm, we'll supplied with water
and a bottom heat of rs to 80 degrees
maintained, many of the cuttings will
be rooted in a week and ready for
potting up singly in small. pots.
Remaining in the sand such q short
time, they can be dibbled in close to-
gether.
Lobelias, altermantheras, and me-
sembryanthemums can also be in.
creased by the thousands in this way.

plants on hand. March is soon enough
to commence propagating.

For steaming buildings and brown

cakes which are often so hard to bake
in the oven, the cooker Is an ideal
saver Of fuel and time.

without hurrying home to cook dinner,

fireless cooker. BY careful planning
the cook knows to q minute how long
certain foods need to cook and results
never vary.
The flavors of meats, fish or fowl
cannot be surpassed in comparison
with other ways of cooking, for by the
slow process flavors are developed
and brought out, the Juices and natu'
raj davors preserved. -. r. -
