FILED; WARRANT
Heavily Insured Man Charg-
ed with Murder of Un-
known Person.

MARTINEZ, Cal. Aug. g.
Charles Henry Schwartz, Vice-Presi-
dent and General Manager of the
Pacific Cellulose Company, is
charged with the murder of an un-
identified man whose charred body
was found in the ruins of the Gel
lulose plant last Thursday
Schwartz has been missing since

his arrest followed on the uncere-
monious appearance OF Joe Rodri-
gues, laborer, whom the authorities
believed was the dead man.
Sheriff Veal said: Il am con-
vinced the man whose body was
found in the ruins OF the cellulose
plant was murdered by hammer
blows on the head. Conditions of
the lungs of the dead man indicate
the murder was committed before
the explosion which started the fire
destroying the plant"
Schwartz carried insurance total
ing $1S0,000.

The situation is virtually the

Fruits and Vegetables
Best Food for All Ages

Fruits and vegetables should fur
nish more than half the daily food
They contain the lrost valuable ele-
ments for health and strength. They
are the best sources of vitamins. AS
a food for the young, the old and
those Of all ages apples and other
fruits take first rank. The only way to
have them good, fresh and appetizing
is to grow them. Every farmer is inter-
ested in home vegetable garden. Why
not home orchard? 1t is just as i'm
portant as the home garden and should
have a place upon every farm. No
equal area on the farm will yield as
profitable returns. The farmer who
learns how to care for the home or
chard is also likely to be better
live stock and grain grower because Of
his orchard experience.

Separate Pullets.
Purposes Of Flowing to
Improve Soil Condition

One may well ask: What are the
purposes of blowing?
One purpose is to turn under or
ganic matter lying on or growing in the
soil; another is to pulverize the soil,
SO as to make it better seed bed !;
another is to cover weed seeds and in
sects. in order to destroy them; and
still another reason for blowing is to
enable the soil better to take in the
rain that falls upon it and better to
check the runoff.
One reason for deep blowing or
subsoiling is given as providing
loosened soil in which the roots OF
plants may better grow. the assump-
ton being. seemingly, that the roots
of plants use only that portion Of the
soil that is broken up by the pillow.
There is no good reason for believ-
ing that crop plants differ In their root
habits much from wild plants. which
grow luxariantly on soil that has never
been plowed within the memory of man
or the race.

Control Chinch Bugs

Fall is the time when the chinch
bug can be most successfully con-
trOiled. Whenever the bugs have
caused injury during the preceding
season. 90 per cent of them will be
found in the fall alternating in the
clump-forming grasses. such as bunch
grass and bluestem, in meadows, pas
lures. ravines, waste places, and along
roadsides. Cooperative experiments
with farmers in many localities have
shown that where these bug-infested
areas have been systematically burned,
the chinch-bug problem has been
solved for the ensuing year.

Feeding Timothy Hay to
Dairy Calves and Cows

Many breeders raise the question:
what kind of hay shall I feed
calves"'
"This depends on several things"
says C. B. Bender, assistant dairy
husbandman at the New Jersey Col
lege Of Agriculture, New Brunswick.
Are you feeding the calves Guernsey or
Jersey milk with grafny If so, clover
or alaflfa hay would be likely to cause
scours. In this case timothy or timothy
and clover hay may be fed to good ad-
vantage. II skim milk and grain low
in protein is being fed, either alfalfa
or clover hay Is satisfactory.
The value Of timothy hay is often
greatly overestimated as feed for
cattle. AS general rule it is unpal-
atable unless cut early. The most Sc
rieus objection to 1t is its low protein
content. which makes necessary the
feeding of expensive concentrates.
1t is sound economy to feed the high
protein hays and balance the rest Of
the feed to suit the hay. except where
only Guernsey or Jersey whole milk
is available for calves.

Individual Drinking
Cup Is Profitable
Milk Flow Decreased by
Lack of Water in Winter.

Many progressive dairymen have
found from experience that the in
stallation of individual drinking cups
is a profitable investment for cutting
labor and feed costs.
ut has been found" says E. A.
Gauntt, assistant state dairy special
list in New Jersey, that a 10 per cent
increase in milk flow can be made by
the addition of this equipment. A
herd of % cows producing 400 quarts
of milk under the old system would
be expected to produce 440 quarts,
or an extra can of milk, with the drink
ing cups.
"a ,Holstein COW producing 100
pounds of milk day needs about 300
pounds of water. If turned out on
a cold winter day, she will not drink
enough ice-water to produce that
amount of milk even if watered twice
day. Then, too, much Of the feed
she consumes is wasted in warming
up her body again. With an individ-
ual automatic drinking cup installed
In the barn she may drink little and
often, and the water will not be ice
cold. Hence, much heat energy is
saved, which means a saving of feed.
Furthermore, weather conditions do
not affect her as acutely when it is
no longer necessary to turn her out
in cold driving storm to get water
Drinking cups cut labor by saving
labor. They make it unnecessary to
turn the cows out and perhaps even
drive them down to the pasture for
water. 1t seems like poor economy
to reduce the milk flow by failing to
supply the dairy with plenty of pure
water, which, with the exception of
fresh air, is the only free ingredient
essential for milk production"

that he hadn't had square meal for
three days. ~
Come with me- said Kemble. I'll
take you to place where you can
eat your fill and it won't cost you a
penny
'The hungry tragedian laughed for
joy, and Kemble led him to an enor-
nous, turnip field on the outskirts Of
the city.
There he said GO to it,
1T was October, a cold October twi-

dismal and uninviting.
This is cruel joke said the

Barley Contains Large
Percentage of Protein

Barley is grain that contains a
somewhat higher percentage Of pro-
tefn than corn, and, for that reason
when the two grains have the same
market value per pound. should be a
more economical feed for hogs than
corn. On the other hand, the large
percentage Of hull attached to the kerr
mel gives barley a high percentage Of
crude fiber, which is one of it's dis
advantages for hog-feeding purposes.
There is practically no food value in
the huh and the stomach of the hog
is not well adapted for handling
roughage. 1t is generally considered
that, pound for pound, barley has
about So per cent Of the food value
