JFDfiGCIilGlOG .1 . Claud Miller Takes His Own Commitment, for Assault, v ,. to the Sheriff. It is not a usual thing fora man who has been sentenced to Imprison ment to take his own commitment and start to nunt me sheriff, preparatory to serving hU sentence, but this is what happened In the case of Claude Miner, wno was this morning sen tenced in Pollce court to 20 days on the roads for assaults. Miller was up for nswiults on Tiaker Edwards and Tea u. j ones, yesterday afternoon, and was at first given a fine of $30 and the costs. .', This wu rhn later, presumably at Miller's desire, to ni !.. TCiiieni-e. jo, juage then , hud his commitment made out and Miller said he would take it himself to the. sheriff. It seems that Judge Adams felt confident that he would do this, for notwithstanding Miller has been in court several times, it Is said he will do whatever he says he will. The assaults took placa In Mears' garage on South Main street It was in evidence that Miller had been work ing for Mr. Edwards on his Ruck Shoals farm but had been discharged yesterday mornlnirr that Mr. Krtwnr.u had also discharged Frank Weaver' frum Vila n...l..,. . - ... - . I .. ...,r.i, na uiwuiieur, mui Weaver had a coat and gloves be longing to Mr. Edwards and when asked for them refused to give them up, saying that he would do so when Mr. Edwards paid what was due him. Then, It was testified. Mr. Edwards undertook to take the things from Weaver and Miller came In and told Mr. Edwards to jump on a man of his slse. In the fight that followed It was- brought out that Miller knock ed Ma Edwards down and then Mr. Junes a bystander. Interfered and Mll lr attacked him also. : ; The scene of tha mii.im ik.. transferred to the office of the garage j mm iik-it, mo, miner seems to nave mu i in- iit-ni in ii, anocKing Doth men down more than once.

Head hunting, the greatest passion of the Dyak, has Its roots in his court ship and In his Idea of Immortality and filial, affection. A Dyak legend tells that "the daughter of their great ancestor, who resides In heaven near the evening star, refused to marry un til her betrothed brought her a gift worthy her acceptance. ' "The man went Into the jungle arid killed a deer, which he presented to her, but the fair lady turned away In disdain. He went away and return ed with a mias (orangoutang), the great monkey who haunts the forest, but this present was not more to her taste. , "Then in a fit of despair the lover went abroad and killed the first man he met and throwing the victim's head at her feet, exclaimed at the cruelty she had mado him guilty of, but to his surprise she smiled, and said that now he hud discovered the only .gift worthy of herself." , . And to this !day a Dyak girl will often refuse to marry a man who has not til ken at least, one. head. ; gull more binding upon the Dyak Is the ob ligation to furnish a ' fresh head to attend the spirit of nny dead mitmber of his family.) .

In feeding range lambs the fooder not only makes a profit on the original eost of the lambs, but as wall on the cost of the food which Is grown on their farms, and In addition there la a large return of fortuity to the soil, when the man ure Is carefully handled. In England this branch of feeding has been conducted for many years and it has been found a very profit able way to Increase the fertllltv r the soil as well z a profitable way to utilise grain, grass and root crops. Many of the English feeders buy our corn, ollmeala and even hmr and derive a substantial profit from their reeatng. is It not fully practicable and possible for the farmers of this country to conduct tha ami lino nf feeding when ther have evsrv ronul- slte from 1.000 to 4,000 miles closer to U base of sudd rr There are excellent Inducements tn feed range lambs, especially for the man wno goes not desire to.kaeD live stock on his farm durln whole of the year; and many farmers are fixed so they could profitably eon duct winter stock feeding at a profit dui wno nave toe much ether labor on their farms during the crop grow ing season. There Is money to be made by feed ing range lambs If a man under. to nils the fundamental principles of the business and grows a wide vari ety of forage, fodder and grain crops. W. 1C KelUA . - No animals enjoy freedom more In the summer than hog, but their desires are altogether different In win ter. The natural instinct is for coxy quarters, which may be accepted as altogether suitable for them. No one noed ever look for the pigs on winay mil-tops when winter sets In, but if any disappear they are al most sure to be found in h. !... tected and snug spot within their retch. Warnlnc wards mm nttm to have sows farrowing in the short est days, when cold weather prevails, as they can make no progress against raw temperatures. - In summer nlrs at lam nieir m great deal of their food In the fields, bet little Is available n that ni Jt them any good, and although those In s.r condition may still be allowed a run out dally, they should all be housed at night and some altogether. All being fattened for pork or bacon should be kept In constantly. And sows sucklln Uttl ,.i.. .hi never be allowtd to ink h. and around as absolute shelter and co.istant comfort assist their develop ment while chills hinder or are in deed dangerous. . . Some have a fashion of letting tLe Pigs run about the yard In winter, sometimes shutting them In at night anC in other etwee letting them find their own accommodation, but this is a bad -way. They certainly .make , themsolvas moat comfortable at times, but the exposure which Is equally freely In dulged In has the rovsrse of a satis factory result, and It la much, better to confne them all to their proper quai-rs. . ..(., , -s ., .
