1875 @I5.oo 1875

The hog market ruled 35 cents
higher in trading today. at the In
dianapolis Livestock Exchange. A

with a run of material estimated at
LOO bovines. The demand FOR
choice dry fed stuff was heavy and
this grade of material brought top
prices. Steers were priced at $7@
1925; .heifers, 5000, and cows. So
@s.
Calves Are Active
The calf market opened early
with the bulk Of the offering going
to the scales at $12 with a few
fancy grades bringing as high as
$3.50. Towards the close of the
day the demand increased and the
bulk Of the, vealers went under the
hammer at $3.50. Receipts were

factor aided in the slight upswing.
The sheep and lamb market re.
manned steady with run of ovines

Ward pointed out that Keeney as
ISOLATED with Lockwood and Casey
and drank beer with them on the
Sunday afternoon.
I'm the name of God has it come
to the point when law investigator
will barter with arch criminals to
bring in other poor little devils"
Ward said. IF it has, trust we will
have some reform"
Ward declared Keeney was trying
to deceive Remy and ran to him
with all the tales Of frame-ups."
I'm the first place, Keeney
wouldn't accept the money from
Lockwood because he was afraid
of police and in the second place he
wouldn't take it because no police
were there" Ward stated.
He referred to Keeney's testimony
that ne saw a policeman In a car be-
hind his when Lockwood offered him
500 at noon Monday, June IA, and
that at II p. m. the same day, when
Remy sent men with him to Lock
woods place he wouldn't take it be-
cause no police were in sight.
Landlady Witness
The Government. when court,
opened, placed Anna Fisher, Marie
Jordan's landlady on the witness
stand. She testified that Keeney
came to the place Sunday, June IS,
and talked to Marie Jordan. She
said she left the building while
Keeney was talking to the Jordan
woman and saw Keeney's car in
front with a woman in it.
Keeney then took the stand and
denied ever seeing the woman. He
said there was no one in his car
Ward said search is being made
for a young. blonde woman" said
to have been with Keeney when he
went to the Jordan's woman's apart
ment.
Attorneys far Casey entered a
formal plea Of guilty to the con-
tempt charge and Keeney entered
plea Of not guilty.

Set Out Grapevines in
Rows for Best Results

Grapevines should be set out in
rows, with a distance of six to eight
feet between rows, and with the
plants about eight feet apart In the
row If a vineyard is wanted For
family use a few vines may be set
singly wherever there is a suitable
place. When in rows it is usual to
set posts in the rows and string wires
on the posts, on which the vines are
trained to grow. If plants are set
singly a post may be set near the
plant on which the vines can be
trained and without wires.
Grapes should have high and we'll
drained land on which to grow, and
the soil should not be very rich, nor
should the vines be manured, at least
until they are quite old. On rich
land the vines make too much growth
without making much fruit.

Set Apple Crafts Early,
Says a Missouri Expert

Apple CRAFTS made during the winter
months should be set out in the nurs-
cry row just as soon as the ground
will do the work, according to T. J.
Talbert of the Missouri College of Ag-
riculture.
The rows should be laid off about
three and one-half to four feet wide
The furrow may be opened with a
small turning plow The CRAFTS are
then planted in the furrOw from ten
to fourteen inches apart by standing
them up against the vertical side.
The soil is then thrown against them
with plow or hoe. The CRAFTS should
be planted deeply, allowing only one
or two inches to be exposed after the
soil is leveled and packed about them.
The CRAFTS should receive frequent
and thorough cultivation during spring
and summer to keep down weeds and
conserve moisture. The young trees
may be set in the orchard after one
seasons growth or they may be al
lowed to grow two seasons before
transplantfng.

Inspection of Butter Is
Improving It's Quality

Federal-state shipping point inspec-
ton of butter is having a marked in
f1uence in improving the quality of the
product, the United States department
of Agriculture has announced, publish
ing figures on the expansion Of the
service.
Beginning with one inspection in
July, 1924, the department says, the
federal-state butter inspection serv-
ice in Minnesota has increased until
at present five inspectors are required.
The quantity Of butter inspected dur
ing the year ending January 81, 1926,
reached 8O,416,O87 pounds. The serv-
ice is available at Duluth, st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Chicago.
At the end of the year more than
80 per cent of all butetr inspected in
Minnesota was 90 score or higher as
compared with less than Sc per cent
at the beginning of the year. A
marked decrease is shown also in the
percentage of butter scoring so or less,
the quantity in this class at the end
Of the year being per cent of all but

Tattoo Marks on
Hogs Tell Owner
Simple Method Devised to-
Identify Owners After
Animals Are Killed.


prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
A simple method for placing tattoo
marks on hogs so that they may be
readily identified after slaughter has
been devised by DR.. F. E. Murray
veterinarian of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. The prin-
cipal need for such Identification is
for detecting the origin of any dis
eased hogs found at the slaughtering
places and to trace the channels
through which infection spreads.
Uses for Instrument.
A description of the instrument,
methods of using it, and various prac-
tical uses for such Identification
marks, are described in Miscellaneous
Circular Number 81, just issued by
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture
The form Of the instrument con-
sidered most suitable for tattooing hogs
consists essentially of a metal holder
about eighteen inches long. slotted
to receive five blocks of babbit
metal in which phonograph needles
are embedded with the points pro-
truding about a quarter of an inch.
The needles are arranged to form
numbers and letters.
Ordinary black automobile enamel
is used as a tattooing pigment. 1t is
applied to the needle points with
brush. The mark is applied by mere
ly striking the hog smartly with the
instrument, usually on the fore part
of the back. Tattooing causes no In
jury to the meat or inconvenience to
the hogs.
Work Is Permanent
A tattoo mark, properly applied, re-
sfSts all attempts to remove it and,
after death, is as permanent as the
skin itself. 1t is a definite means Of
preserving the identity Of hogs be-
tween farm and market Extensive
tests have demonstrated the practi-
cability of the device in tracing the
origin of animal diseases and in
identifying the ownership of diseased
animals in mixed shipments. Nu-
merous other practical uses suggest
themselves, such as tracing the
source of animal parasites, expert
mental work involving the study Of
dressed carcasses and Identifying
ownership in cooperative marketing.
A copy of the circular may be
secured as long as the supply lasts by
writing to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. G.

[)()ULI'RY
I IHE56S7 !
INFERTILE EGGS
IN LATE SPRING

Many commercial chick hatcherieS
are complaining about the large per
centage Of infertile eggs, according to
the directors of the International
Baby Chick association who met with
poultry specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Many Of the matches, they report, show
that less than IS or 80 per cent of the
eggs available are fertile, whereas in
normal years fertility runs as high as
80 per cent or more.
Fertility is largely a management
problem" says DR.. NJ A. Jull in
charge of poultry investigations, Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
"and infertility is due largely to the
cold and wet weather, which causes
a deviation from normal handling of
the average flock. The only way that
hatcherieS can be certain of securing
a high percentage of fertile eggs from
farmers or others is to buy only from
fiocks that are properly managed.
There is no practical or scientific
method known by which infertile eggs
can be detected before incubation"
Backward weather has resulted in
many flocks being confined to a great
er extent than usual and a consequent
lack of sufficient exercise to insure
fertile eggs. Then, too under cOnfine
ment, too many males may be cause
of low fertility. They spend too much
time In fighting each other. Under
normal range or yard conditions one
male to fifteen or twenty hens Of the
more active breeds, such as LeghOrns-
is about right. In the heavier breeds,
one male to ten or twelve hens will
be required. Fewer males than this
would be better in each case when
the birds are in close confinement.
Breeding stock should have va
riety Of feed, consisting of grains,
meat, and green feed. The green feed
Is especially essential If the birds are
confined. Free range or exercise helps
materially in the production of hatch
able eggs.
Arizona state miner., 1926-07-03
Feed for Young Turkeys
Is of Great Importance

Young turkeys should not be fed
for 36 to 4S hours after they are
hatched. AS soon as they are active
however, on their feet, they may be
given water and allowed to pick at
sand or gravel. It does no harm and
perhaps it is a good idea to give them
young, tender green's, the best of
which is perhaps short grass on the
sod.
The first feeds usually given are
stale dry bread crumbs moistened
with sweet milk They are fed very
little of this about every two or three
hours. 1t is not a bad idea to scat
ter a little sand in this, too, just a
little. Other feeds are hard-boiled
eggs, boiled to the crumbly stage,
mashed and sometimes mixed with
bread crumbs, rolled oats that have
been rubbed in the hands to make
them little finer, etc.
Pinhead oatmeal and chick feed
usually called chick starter, are also
good feeds to give In limited Quanti-
ties. But with these they must have
NAL protein, such as milk, high-grade
beef scraps, etc. Milk is the product
usually used Some use it sweet and
some use it sour. Those that use 1t
sour generally pour off the whey and
feed the thick part only.

WIFE HE MURDERS
COMES IN DREAMS,
WOULD JOIN HER
After Sleeping Beside Body
FiUe Weeks, Negro Tells
of Crime.

New York-"She came down from
heaven and talked with me. She said
she wants me to join her and told
me to report to the police so they
would send me to the electric chair
and then I will join her"
Thus Sam Fulton, a negro, forty,
of Is Church street, Jamaica, ex-
planned to Detective SabatinO of the
Jamaica precinct why he finally re-
ported to the authorities the fact that
he had killed his twenty-siX-year-o
wife, Marie Fulton. Once with the de-
tective, Fulton told the entire story,
took the detective about in search
of evidence and did all he could to
insure his conviction, saying again
and again that he hoped to be cleo
trocuted so he can join his dead wife
who spoke to him in dreams.
Slept Beside Murdered Wife.
Fulton says that he had discOv-
cred proof of infidelity on the part
of his wife and he quarreled with her
