Shooting Follows scufae

The shooting took place on south
bound train No. 81. just as it was en-
tering Alexandria, and followed a
scuffle between Davis and two other
prohibition inspectors, who had at
tempted to take him into custody. He
was suspected OF having contraband
liquor.
Shelhorse was shot with .48 cal
iber bullet, which entered the left side
of the throat and came through the
upper part of the head. He was taken
from the train into the baggage room
and rushed to the Alexandria Hos
pital, where he died at s:55 o'clock.
DR.. M. ID. Delaney was summoned.
Immediately after the shooting, Da-
Wis jumped from the train. which had
reduced it's speed. He ran like a deer,
but was pursued by Prohibition In
spectors Hall and Bricker and a SOL
dier named Alfred F. Woldert of Camp
Wadsworth. S. c. After short chase
he surrendered to the soldier at the
point of a pistol and was turned over
to Sergts. Wilkinson and Scott and
Policeman Snellings.
When taken to police headquarters
the prisoner had $1,264.72 in his pock-
ct. He claims that he earned this
money by working as a laborer.
The suit case and hand grip alleged
by Inspector Hall to be Davis prop
erty, when brought to police head
quarters and examined, were found
to contain forty-f1ve pints OF liquor.

calm burghers of Dixmude had cross
ed and recrossed them. in the hard
frost of winter or in the golden eve
nings of autumn. when the sun
came to die amid prodigiOus magic of
light.
The charm of Dixmude made es-

ian Leon Cassel was one Of Its most
fervent admirers. He left Paris every
summer to plunge again into the in
spiration which came to him from the
old walls peopled with old memories,
and it is largely thanks to him that
Dixmude is still living for us, though
many of his finest pictures have, alas,
been destroyed by the fury of the
Hun.
Monday, market day, was the most
animated of the week. On that day
Dixmude was alert at dawn, reused
from its customary repose. The good
women of Essen, of Woumen, of Caes-
kerke, the jovial dealers from Rou-
lers and Poperinghe, drovers from
Ypres and Furnes shouted their
broad jokes at one another as they
pressed on to the Woumenstraat. The

the war spectacle as stirring and

centuries. and with little difference.

SEEMED TO UPSET THEORY
Meat Eater Had No Chance at All
With Vegetarian Supposed to Be
Meek and lowIy.

Many of the things we are quite sure
of are probably not true. For instance,
one cannot rely upon the theory that
the diet controls the man-that the
vegetarian is, by virtue of his diet.
meek and dociIe. while the confirmed
and habitual meat eater is a ferocious
animal when aroused.
Mr.. Brandon, in our block. is a con-
sistent vegetarian-not only believes
in it, but urges the merits of his sys-
TEN upon his friends. He was ecstatic
about the fine. tender spinach he was
permitted to enjoy. and made the
neighbors weary singing its praise,
says a writer in the Seattle Post-Intel-
ligencer.
Well, yesterday morning when I
slipped over to pay my meat bill. Mr..
Brandon was wrangling with the
butcher about his account. 1t appears
there was cipher too much In his to-
tai, or something-it was $40 and Bran
don thought 1t should be 81. Well, any
way. the butcher lost his temper and
called Brandon a liar, and you ought
to have seen that vegetarian land on
the butcher! He banged him first on
one side of the face and then on the
other, slammed him down in corner
and kicked him in the ribs; it looked
like he was intending to take the
butcher apart when the help inter-
fered.
II a man can work up that sort of
action on spinach, radishes and gra-
ham gems, why should anybody buy
meat? And another thing what ,yox
the ferocious meat eater doing while
the vegetarian was at work on him?
Nothing. absolutely nothing! No, in
deed; he didn't even have time to get
mobilized. 1t seems to be plain that
this theory of vegetarian docility has
got to be revised.

Then it is that good drivers care
comes in. for the men tend them most
carefully. feeding them by hand. boil
ing their oats, making them mashes,
nnd spending most of the day with
their charges until they can feed in
comfort again. 1t is this personal
care of the man for his horse that has
been the cause of the new order that
all horses have to be returned from

quarters. Cement makes a satisfactory
floor, but in colder climates must be
covered with wooden false floors. A
good floor makes it much easier to
keep the house clean. The arrange
ment of the house should be such that
the beds and feed floors are well sep
arated.
There are two general classes of
houses-large community or station
ary. and small individual or movable.
The large house has individual pens
and is intended for quite number Of
hogs. The advantages of the large
house are: It is more economical for
large number of hogs; 1t is conven-
tent for feeding and affords provisions
for saving manure. II the house is to
be quite large it is usually advisable
to arrange the pens in two rows with
an alleyway between them. The alley
should be 4 to 8 feet wide unless 1t is
desirable to have space for the pass
ing of wagon. In that event the al
ley should be 8 to 10 feet wide.
Individual Hog House.
The individual house, as the name
suggests, is intended for one hog or
for sow and her brood. One decided
advantage of the individual or portable
house is that 1t can be moved from
place to place and can thus be kept
sanitary and made accessible to pas
lures. There are two general styles Of
individual houses, namely, the box
shaped with four upright walls and
the A-shaped. The dimensions should
be 6 feet by 10 feet, or 8 feet by 8 feet.
Wooden floors a-o good, but not neces-
sary. The floor should be higher than
the outside level of the ground, to in
sure dryness. All houses should be
sufficiently high to permit the attend
ant to move about them with compara-
tive freedom. By placing tenders on
the walls few inches from the floor,
individual houses may be used for far
rowing pens.
I When number of sows are kept on
farm 1t may be desirable to have a
regular narrowing pen. A small house
provided with tenders serves as far
rowing pen. Tenders may be made Of
2 by 6-inch scantling and firmly attach
ed to the walls of the pen some 6
inches above the floor. The object of
the fender is to prevent the SOW over
lying young pigs.

there should be sufficient elevation to

If practicable the house should occupy

Principles of construction: Four i'm
portant things should be observed in
hog house construction; namely, light,
ventilation, warmth, and cleanliness.
Light is provided by placing the house
along a north and south line and by
putting In suitable doors and windows.
Doors, windows, and roof ventilation

Hogs need good ventilation as well as

good floor and bedding provides suffi-

DISTRICT ENRICHED
BY CHEESE FACTORY
Prosperity Brought to Isolated
Community in Southeast.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment OF. Agriculture.)
Cheese making is Transforming many
Isolated mountainous districts of the
southeastern states into prosperous
farming communities. For many years
the remoteness. of these districts ana
the lack of ready communication with
the outside world has retarded agri-
cultural development. An interesting
story of the rapid development of
small cooperative cheese factories
which, with the Improvement Of cows.
appears to point the way to financial
and industrial independence, is told in
Yearbook Separate 1877 of the United
States department of agriculture.
The first cooperative factory In this
section was put into operation in the
spring of 1915 in mountainous sec
tlon of North Carolina. On June s
small building only IA by 10 feet was
built and equipped at cost Of only
$40O and opened for business. Before
the end of the year this modest factory
returned to Its patrons almost $1,000,
net gain of more than 81 200, because
the total income for the sale of butter
in the community previous to the es-
tablishment of the cheese factory
averaged less than $500. About six
weeks after it was established another
factory. built and equipped at cost
of 1915, was started In a neighboring
community and was conducted with
equally good results.
The first factories were established
with dificulty because Of lack of In
terest among the farmers, but after
the profits began to roll in 1t was i'm
possible to meet the demand for as
sistance and no solicitation was need
ed to induce the people to put up new
factories. The first year the factories
were opened. about $500 worth of
cheese was made and sold. In 1916, 26
factories were established In North
Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and West
Virginia. During last year $4,000
worth of cheese was made In North
Carolina alone, and the "a factories
then in operation in the states men
toned produced cheese which sold for
more than $125 900. The cost of oper-
alton. says the publication, added to
what the farmers would probably have
received from the milk If there had
been no cheese factories, would amount
to about one-fourth of the gross re-
ceipts. Therefore, three-fourths of
this amount, or little more than $780,
900. was newly created wealth.
The effect of the increased income
from the mountainous farms has
brought about higher standard of
living. Farm houses have been re-
modelled; roads improved; better farm
equipment introduced. and more in
terest has been taken In educational
work of all kinds. Though some high
grade cows have been purchased and
brought into the section, the greatest
progress In dairy Improvement is
shown by the better care and more
skillful feeding of the cows already
at hand. The introduction of cheese
factories, the publication says. is only
the first step forward. but they fur
nish the financial support for the
movement which is slowly but certain
ly bringing prosperity to these south
ern mountain districts.
