THOMAS FEL7MAN
DIES MYSTERIOUSLY.

Tho sudden death OF Tom Felt
nan, prominent local Short Line
Engineer, in his room at the Grand
Aotel last Saturday, has cast a mys-
erious spell over the city. The cause
f young Feltman's death is shrouded
b the deepest of mystery, and only
report from the state chemist may
70 the means of determining the
ause of his demise.
Tom Feltman went to his room
Metween and o'clock Saturday
Morning, according to friends who
#ere with him during Friday night.
Nothing more was seen of him un-
Saturday afternoon, when, after
Nepeated telephone calls for him
aused one of his friends to enter
Dis room to arouse him, thinking he
as sleeping unusually late. Upon
ntering his room Feltman was foHnd
Did in death In a position which
bowed that he had passed through
xcrutiating pains and his head to-
yard the foot Of the bed His Jaws
ere set and his tongue punctured
@y his teeth.
Feltman had been dead at least 10
NOur3 when found, in the opinion of
moved it to be in orderly condition,
with his clothes put away in his usual
eustom.
An autopsy was performed on the
AOdy the same evening in an effort
10 determine the cause of his sudden
Heath. Doctors were unable to solve
he mysterious death, so his stomach,
cart of the brain and other organs
we're removed and forwarded to the,
tate chemist for an analysis, and
antil report is received from Boise
me cause of death will not be known.
Thomas Feltman was 80 years OF
Age, and was the son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
81. b. Feltman of Pocatello. He was
BORN in Salem, ILL.,, September 3,

parents to Grand Junction, Colo,
Where he began his railroad cancer in
khe shops of the Denver and Rio
&rande when 16 years old. After
coming to Montpelier he was employ

antil four years ago when he was
promoted to engineer. He served on
the extra list for four years and had
sust been assigned to a regular en-
gino last week, being scheduled to
make his first run on Sunday, the
day following his death.
A rather remarkable incident in
connection with his death is that it
vas his mother who called for him
pn tho long distance telephone from
Pocatello which resulted in discovery
pf his death. Mrs. Feltman had her
srunk packed for three or four days
ready to leave for visit east. She
bad been worrying about the welfare
pf her son and delayed departure on
her visit. Saturday afternoon she
uecided to call her son on the tele-.
phone for a conversation, and 1t was
When the call reached the Grand Ho-

SUPPLY OF GRAIN FOR HENS
Spring Than in FaII-Amount
Varies With Breeds.

The feeder must use his own judg-
ment in deciding how much grain to
give the hens, as the amount of feed
which they will eat varies with diff
ferent pens and at different seasons
of the year. They will eat more feed
in the spring while laying heavily
than the summer and fall when laying
fewer eggs.
A fair general estimate is about one
quart of scratch grains and an equal
weight of mash (abOut one and a half
quarts) daily TO 13 hens of the gem
eral purpose breeds, such as the Ply
mouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, or
Wyandottes, or to 16 hens of the small
err or egg breeds. This would be about
seven and a half pounds each of
scratch grains and Of mash daily to
100 LeghOrns and about nine and a
half pounds of each to 100 general
purpose fowls. If hens have free
range or large yards containing green
feed a general purpose hen will eat
about IS pounds of feed in year and
a Leghorn will eat about So pounds, in
addition to the green stuff consumed,
it has been found in experiments con-
Quoted on the government poultry
farm.

GLAZED STAGE BEST SlLAGE
When Corn Kernels Are Well Denied
1t Is Ready for siIo, Is Opinion
Of Specialists.

The question, when is the best time
to cut corn for silage?" is again being
frequently asked. The weight of ex-
perience of experiment station men at
University Farm is that corn is ready
for the silO when the kernels are well
denied or glazed. Analyses made by
chemists have shown that the corn
from an average acre cut at the glazing
period contains 1903 pounds of d.
gestibte matter as against 1920 pounds
when the corn is cut at tasseling time.
While there is a larger amount of
green corn to the acre when the corn
is in the tasseling stage, the total
amount Of dry matter is not nearly so
great then as when the corn has
glazed. The dry matter per ton
amounts to 2S5 pounds at the tasseling
stage, 323 at the silking stage, $3.50 in
the early milk. "A in the late milk,
and 523 pounds at the glazing stage.
In case there is danger of frost, corn
should be cut early rather than al
lowed to wait for the maximum
pounds of dry matter

MILLET HAY FED TO HORSES
North Dakota Station Finds It Good
When Given in Moderation With
Some Concentrate.

Millet hay fed in moderation is a
good food for horses. 1t should not
be the sole roughage and should be
fed with some concentrate. Make sure
that the hay has been cured prop
erly.
Several years ago the North Da-
kota experiment station found that
millet hay when fed in excessive guam
titles had tendency to cause an
increased action of the kidneys as
well as lameness and a swelling of
the joints. This seemed to be due to
an infusion of the blood into the
joints, which destroyed the texture of
the bone. When fed in limited
amounts and in connection with grain
there was no such tendency, hut on
the other hand it proved a very good
food.

TUBERCULOSIS OF

Efforts Being Made by County
Agents to Locate and Pre-
vent Spread of Disease.
klLMENT is EASILY SPREAD
Characterized by Development OF
NoduIes Called TubercIes in Vari-
Gus Organs of Body-5est to
Kill Off Whole Flock.

County agents in certain sections of
the middle West report the finding of
tuberculosis in some of the chicken
f1Ocks in their localities. In order to
locate and check any further out
breaks of this disease they are re-
questing all farmers whose chickens
die without any apparent cause to
notify the farm bureau and to send in
the livers of the dead birds for eX-
animation. The disease is likely to
show in this organ most plainly.
Chronic, Contagious Disease.
tuberculosis of fowls is chronic,
contagious disease characterized by
the development of nOdules called
tubercleS in various organs of the
body, but most frequently in the liver,
spleen and intestines. 1t is readily
communicated to most species of birds
and to several species of mammals,
but it is almost impossible to com
municate the tuberculosis of man and
cattle to fowls.
One practical course to take when
the disease is found in flock is to
kill off the whole flock as quickly as
possible and to disinfect thoroughly
all the houses and runs Immediately,
says the bureau of animal industry Of
the United States department of agri
culture.
Thorough Distinction Urged.
Unless disinfection is thorough the
new flock is likely to contract the dis

After the Matching season is over,
clean and disinfect the incubatOrs,
empty the lamps and carefully store
the parts in the machine. Lamps con-
tanning oil which are left in their prop
er place on the incubator for some time
after the Matching season is over will
cause trouble when it is started again,
as the oil tends to work up into the
hood.
The incubator should be disinfected
once a year, or oftener if any disease
is present in the hens or chickens,

States department of agriculture.

tons Of the country, of which the fol-
lowing cases are typical:
Farmers in ROckbridge county, Vir-
ginia, who have timber on their own
farms have been little affected by high
lumber prices. and have been aSle to
make the necessary repairs and i'm
prOvements, while their neighbOrs
whose home woodlands failed to af-
ford the needed supplies of timber
have been obliged TO cease or greatly
curtail Improvements requiring much
lumber. These farms are suffering
from depreciation in value. In Cali
fornia, where the agricultural pros
perity has been marked for the past
three years, many ranchers are now
making only such repairs and i'm
provements as are absolutely neces-
sary. This is owing to the high prices,
limited supply, and poor quality of
available lumber. These and many
other instances are cited in the re-
port which the forest service has pre-
pared on the condition Of the forestry
resources of the country in response
to a resolution passed by the United
States senate.

APT TO NEGLECT INCUBATOR
They Often Fail to Give Machine
Needed Attention.

The close of the Matching season in
late summer will find many people so
busy that they are apt to neglect the
incubator and not give 1t the attention
that it deserves before being put away
until next season. Proper care of the
incubator will prolong its period of
usefulness Just as surely as 1t is profit
able to keep the farm machinery In
proper condition.

hatch. A 5 per cent solution of a re-
liable cOal-tar disinfectant or carbOlic
acid may be used to wash out the ma
chine and to disinfect the egg trays
and nursery drawer. If the burlap is
very dirty it may be cheaper to renew
than to clean it.
For an incubator of about three Gu
bic feet capacity one may pour one
half ounce of formalin, which contains
40 per cent formaldehyde, on one-half
ounce of permanganate Of potash in a
pan in the incubator, which produces
a very penetrating gas and thoroughly
disinfects the machine The door of
the incubator should be closed just
as soon as the liquid Is poured into the
pan and left closed for twelve hours
or longer. IncubatOrs should be well
aired before they are used after disin-
fecting, especially when fOrmalde-
hyde or any disinfectant which pro-
duces a gas has been used.
