66 persons injured when the first sec
tion of the "Van Zandt Confederate
Veterans' Special" of eleven cars, en
route from Texas to the" annual re
union at Macon, Ga., was wrecked on
a trestle, one mile south of Easta
buchie, Miss., on the New Orleans and

eral hundred Confederate veterans
were aboard the train, not one was
numbered among the dead. Several
of the veterans were injured, though
none fatally.

Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, one
of the most picturesque figures of the
United States, has published a senti
mental appeal to the people of South
Carolina to return him to his office.
His term expires March 3, 1913. "1
am asking you to re-elect me, al
though my health is broken and I am
no longer the strong and vigorous
man I once was," says the appeal. "I
have a strong desire1 to die in harness
for sentimental reasons only."
The lynching of Zach Walker at
Coatesville, Pa., on the night of Au
gust 13, 1911, when he was burned
after he had been arreseed for the
' killing of a special policeman, will
go unpunished. After a jury had
brought in a verdict of not guilty in
the case of Lewis Denithorn, one of
the six men accused of participating
in the lynching who had not yet been
tried, the commonwealth asked for
the acquittal of the other five defend
nts. General.
Asking that its churches through
out the world come out squarely in
favor of improved conditions for all
wage-earners, a special committee has
prepared for presentation to the quad
rennial general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, at Min
neapolis, Minn., a plan to "disprove
the charge that the church is not in
sympathy with the poor." The report
of the committee which has been at
work for four years states that labor
and social conditions have become
such that the church may take a
prominent part in them.
Floyd Allen, leader of the outlaw
gang that wiped out the Carroll coun
ty court at Hillsville, Va., was in a
state of collapse while his trial for
the murder of Prosecutor Foster went
on. He was pale and trembled in
every limb when carried into court.
Just as court convened Judge Staples
was informed that the prisoner beg
ged his guard to cut his throat. "I've
got no chance," Allen said to the jail
er. "Kill me quick and have it over
with. I'm all in." 4
' Colonel Roosevelt renounced his
claim to the eight delegates at large
to the Republican national conven
tion elected for him in Massachusetts.
He wired them that he would expect
them to vote for President Taft, tak
ing this action, he said, because of
the fact that President Taft carried
the state on the presidential preferen
tial vote. Colonel Roosevelt then an
nounced his decision in a statement,
copies of which he telegraphed to
each of the eight delegates at large
elected recently.
Fifty-nine bodies of the unidentified

Six hundred rebels were killed and
the remainder of a force of 1,500 were
sent, scurrying to Cuatro Ciengas
Mexico, during a fight with 400 Fed
erals under Colonel Pablo Gonzales,
according to the reports 'received
from the field of action. The Fed
eral loss is not -given. The number
of dead, considering the force of the
government, . is considered remarka
ble. The 'battle took place between
Cuatro Cienegas and Monclova. It
was the second engagement within
four days.
Only one, of the seventeen persons
whose bodies were recovered by the
cableship Minia in th vicinity of the
Titanic tragedy died from drowning,
in the opinion of the cable ship's phy
sician. Thy other sixteen perished
from exposure, death ensuing some
four hours after the vessel sank. This
was demonstrated by examination of
the bodies, water being found in the
lungs of but one person. This state
ment was made by Rev. W. H. Cun
ningham of Halifax, N. S., who ac
companied the Minia on her quest.
Counsel made public in New York
the will of John Jacob Astor, as
drawn in that city September last,
only a few days after his marriage
to Miss Madeline Force. Vincent As

beneficiary and residuary legatee. No
hint is given as to the value of the

intact.
The final fight for life in behalf of
Clarence V. T. Richeson, who, while
a Baptist minister, and engaged to
marry . a wealthy young woman, poi
soned ' his former sweetheart, Avis
Linnell, will be made this week in
Boston, Mass. Richeson, who con
fessed the crime before being brought
to trial, has been sentenced to die
by electricity in the week beginning
May 19, but his attorneys hope to
prevail upon Governor Foss to allow
a petition for clemency to go to the
executive council.
The Mexican government officially
denied the statement given to the
press by Mrs. M. L. Ryan to the ef
fect that an American was killed
shortly before she departed and his
heart cut out and sent to the port
city just before the steamship Ken
tuckian sailed there with the Ameri
can refugees. Dr. Plutarco Ornealas
of New Orleans, consul general of
Mexico, was advised to give to the
American press an unequivocal denial
of Mrs. Ryan's statement.
The shooting of Private Baker of
the Twenty-second infantry, while on
border patrol duty, was done deliber
ately from the Mexican side of the riv
er, according to Col. E. Z. Steever,
who completed a thorough investiga
tion. Baker was reclining on his el
bow near the river bank when two
Mexicans fired at him twice. One
bullet shot off the soldier's fingers
and scraped his foot. Colonel Stee
ver has reported details cf the affair
to Washington.
Ministers of the Methodist Episco
pal church, in session at Minneapolis,
Minn., appear to be about equally di
vided on the question whether the
church law prohibiting dancing, card
playing, gambling and going to the
aters, circuses and horse races should
be abolished, as recommended by the
board of bishops. It was stated that
the majority of the members of the
church never had refrained from theater-going
and dancing, and a motion
was made that "the rule always had
been a source of constant irritation
and unrest in the church." It was
also contended that abolishment of
the rule would give the outside world
the impression that the church was
tending toward laxity and was endors
ing the things which it formerly op
posed. Washington.
On the legislative calendar, which,
for partisan and political reasons,
might be marked "must," are the fol
lowing matters of legislation: The
Lorimer case. Popular election of
senators resolution. Tariff bills, .met
als, wool, chemicals, sugar, excise tax.
Panama canal legislation. Postoffice
appropriation bill, including provis
ion for a limited parcels post and for
government aid to good roads. Other
appropriations bills. Naval appropria
tion bill involving policy of national
defense and no-battleship economy
program of house. The best judgment,
of senators on the time needed to dis
pose of these important matters in
dicates a session lasting all summer.
The life of Maj. Archibald W. Butt,
as a soldier, newspaper man, aide to
presidents and lodge member, and his
heroic death on the Titanic, were
commemorated by his commander-in-chief,
a president, a secretary of war,
a senator of his native state, a con
temporary in the newspaper field and
the fraternity of Masonry at an im
pressive memorial service in Wash
ington. President Taft spoke with
difficulty, and he was forced to an
abrupt ending by a steady flow of
tears.
President Taft sent to congress a
message approving the plan of the
commission of economy and efficien
cy to retire all government employees
at the age of 70 years 'on annuities
equal to half-salary with a maximum
limit of $600. The plan provides that
employees entering the service shall
make annual contributions to provide
a retirement fund. The commission
estimates that the plan would cost
the government $227,000 a year dur
ing the next twenty years and that
the saving during the succeeding six
teen years would equalize it.
Several hundred Chinese, fleeing

DRAFT HORSES NEEDED
Majority of Southern Animals of
Inferior Type.
Farmer Must Secure Pure Bred Sires
to Build Up Present Undersized
Stock Great Work of Experi
ment Stations.
(By WAYNE DINSMORE.)
It is necessary that you should have
a good supply of good pure bred draft
horses, if you are to produce grade
draft mares of suitable size and con
formation for farm work and mule pro
duction. You cannot go into the north
and west and buy such grade draft
mares as cheaply as you can rear them,
for the farmers of the north and west
are not sufficiently supplied them
selves with mares of the right weight
and type. "
Grade draft mares have been sell
ing on the open market at from $260
to $300 per head and have been taken
up with avidity by buyers who have
been distributing them to farmers who
cannot buy such animals in their own
communities.
You must have pure bred draft
sires if you are to build up your pres
ent undersized stock of mares into
good sized well built grade of draft
mares. From what I have been able
to learn of the conditions of the south,
I am sure that the majority of your
mares are of inferior type and lacking
in size.
Two or three successive crosses with
good pure bred draft sires, will build
this under-sized, inferior stock, up In
to a good grade of draft mares, weigh
ing from 1,500 to 1,700 pounds and
of fairly good type, but you must have
good pure bred draft sires If you are
to make such progress within two or
three generations.
Our experiment stations established
in 1888 have done great work in
studying the efficiency of production
In our draft and meat producing ani
mals and it has been found that it
costs just as much to produce an In
ferior animal as it does to produce a
good one, as it does from the initial
cost of the better sire.
In other words, you may take two
mares. of identical size and and confor
mation, and breed one to an Inferior,
undersize, unsound grade sire for $5.
MACHINE THINS OUT PLANTS
Particularly Adapted for Use With
Onions and Beets May Be Used
With Cotton.
In describing a machine Invented
by S. Stone of Miles City. Mont., for
thinning out plants the Scientific
American says:
In this patent the invention relates
to Improvements In machines for thin
ning or cutting out the superfluous
plants of such character as are
"drilled" and planted in rows, and has
for its object to provide a machine for
expeditiously and efficiently thinning
and cutting such plants, It being in-

tended more particularly for onions,
beets and plants that are allowed to
grow to maturity at short Intervals to
one another, but may be used for cot
ton plants. The machine has great
adaptability and will operate on three
rows at a time. In the engraving in
serted herewith is pictured a top plan
view of the device.
Remedy for Mites.
Dr. Cary gives the following simple
remedy for destroying mites: Lard
or vaseline on legs, feet and head ap
plied once or twice each week is an
effective remedy. Kerosene emulsion
sprayed on walls, roosts, floors and
nests once per week for what is com
monly called chicken mits is very
destructive. Two to five per cent
coal tar disinfectants sprayed on
same places is another excellent rem
edy. Formalin, one part to 200 parts
of water sprayed on the walls, is also
advised.
Value of Hog Droppings.
The droppings from a well fed hog
are worth $10.00 or more per year, so
do not waste It by keeping your hog
In a slough or untillable place, change
his feed lot now and then, for his
sake, for "lands sakes," and for "your
stomach sake." if you intend to eat
kirn or seU M tor food.
You may breed the other to a first
class, sound, pure bred sire of excel
lent draft type and size, approximat
ing 1,950 or 2,000 pounds, the service
fee of which we will say costs you
$20. The two mares are worked side
by side while carrying the colts. The
food cost of the one is the same as
the food cost of the other, barring the
slight difference in individuality,
which always exists; the cost of look
ing after the one colt at the time of
birth is the same as the cost of
looking after the other. The food
cost required to bring one colt to as
full development as Is possible at
three years of age will differ but lit
tle from the food cost of the other. It
has been found that it costs, approx
imately, $150 to rear a first-class draft
colt to three years of age. This al
lows for a $20 service fee, for the
purchase of all food stuffs at market
prices for liberal feeding from birth
until three years of age. It is safe to
say that the cost of growing the
inferior colt and bringing him to as
full development as can be obtained
at three years of age, will be no less
than $120, counting In $5 service fee.
This means, gentlemen, that you will
have a difference of not more than $30
In the cost of rearing a first-class colt
and a decidedly inferior colt, to three
years of age, even taking into con
sideration the difference in service
fee. These figures are extremely con
servative. The colt from a first-class draft sire
will weigh around 1,700 ;to 1,750
pounds and will (unless the cross
proves a violent one) be of such type
and soundness as to be worth at least
$75 more than the colt from, the In
ferior, undersized grade sire. In
many cases the difference would be at
least $150.
The offices of the Percheron Society
of America are located directly op
posite the Chicago Horse Exchange
in the Union Stockyards, Chicago,
which is the greatest horse market
In the world. Here the one continual
complaint of buyers and of salesman
is that the percentage of sound, well
built draft horses, that are of the
right conformation and type and of
weight exceeding 1,800 pounds, is al
ways low.
The run of horses for the first week
In March was 3,586, for the first week
in April, 3,031; for the first week in
May, 3,052. These figures are fairly
representative of the months named.
The most experienced market men are
united in declaring that less than ten
per cent, of the horses marketed,
have been of approved draft type.
BURN OUT THE BOLL WEEVIL
Chief Object of Destruction of Cotton
Stalks In Fall Is to Deprive
Insects of Feed.
In the fight against the boll weevil
it should always be remembered that
comparatively few of the boll weevils
that, are present in the fall live
through the winter and attack the
cotton In the spring. The earlier the
food of the weevils, which is cotton
and only cotton, is destroyed in the
fall, the smaller the number of wee
vils that will live until spring.
From the fact that the weevils mi
grate chiefly in the fall when food
becomes scarce, and the further fact
that the earlier their food is de
stroyed that and the only thing in
that that will perish during the winter,
says Progressive Farmer, it becomes
apparent that the chief object in the
destruction of the cotton stalks in
the fall is to deprive the boll weevils
of their food.
It has been stated that burning thi
stalks has In some cases destroyed
97 per cent, of the boll weevils. This
can, at best, be nothing more than a
random guess, but if it were true, it
makes little difference whether the
weevils are burned or starve to
death, just so long as they die. The
Important fact to be kept In mind
is the early destruction of the food
of the weevils. There is no late or
top crop, for the weevils have de
stroyed that, and only one thing in
the way of an early destruction of
the cotton stalks is the picking of
the crop made early in the season.
There is no need of destroying the
cotton stalks unless it is done early.
Air and Milk Bacteria.
" The best method for keeping milk
is to keep It from the air, as many
bacteria get into milk from the air.
The bacteria in warm milk are in the
ideal medium for growth and repro
duction. A variety of bacteria, repro
duced by division, and a generation of
bacteria may grow in 20 minutes.
As thousands of bacteria can play
hide and seek .through a needle's eye,
one can appreciate the number con
tained in a drop of milk. They cannot
grow and multiply if the milk is kept
cool.
Balanced Feed for Horse.
, A good, balanced feed for a horse la
one quart of oats and one of bran
twice each day, when idle, and three
times a day when at work substitut

BOX COOP FOR SMALL FLOCK
Inexpensive Poultry House in Which
Few Chickens May Be Kept
With Minimum of Work.
(By T. H. VAN BENTJHUYSEN.)
The following plan is recommended
to any one who desires to keep a few
fowls . lor the purpose of supplying
eggs for his own family:
In making my first house of this
description, I secured from a dry
goods store and ordinary packing box,
Front View..
about 2x3x4, feet. This cost me 25
cents.
The front, or top, was first taken
off the case, and a section of one side
extending its full width, was hinged
so that easy access to the Interior
could be secured. Then the case was
mounted on legs so that its bottom
was about a? foot and a half from the
ground. Then boards were placed
snugly around the rear and sides of
the legs, from the bottom of the case
to the ground.
The roost was next constructed, and
for this small lengths, of boards may
be used. For the roost and legs I
used what is termed "scantling," or
Interior View.
Sufficient space to slide It in (or out)
through the end hinged door. When
placed in the coop, it laid directly on
the floor so that the chickens roosted
rough strips of one by three inch stuff.
The roost I constructed in one solid
piece.
It was made so that there would be
about three inches from the floor of
the elevated coop. This arrangement
would not do for the lighter breeds,
which prefer higher roosting places.
The next step was to close In the
front, of the coop, which I did by using
the ' pieces which had been removed
from it, .
About two-thirds of the front is
boarded up, the remainder being cov
ered with a double thickness of com
mon burlap. The door is left off dur
ing the greater part of the year, but

la necessary during the very cold
weather.
Two box-seats and a small board
(with strips) from the ground to the
upper part of the coop completed the
job.
The end of the nest facing the front
was boarded up high, to give the hens
the necessary seclusion.
When the coop was completed I
raised the end door and laid an old
newspaper on the floor, covering it
very thickly with sand. On this I
placed the roost, and the coop was
ready for occupancy. To clean, it is
simply necessary to take out and
throw away the newspaper, and put
in a fresh one, with more sand.
In summer, with one of these coops,
It would be well to open a side door
to afford sufficient ventilation, and it
would be well to keep fewer birds in
each pen. During the winter, in one
of the "bird-cage" arrangements, we
keep from five to seven large White
Rock hens, with good results.
Bearing in mind that about six
hens could ordinarily be kept In each
coop, any one may tell, from the num
ber of chickens he intends to keep,
how the system can be extended to
vls needs.
Studying Needs of One Breed.
It is poor policy for a beginner to
endeavor to keep several breeds of
poultry. The probabilities are that he
will give them all like attention and
food when they need to be treated
according to their natural dispositions
and peculiar needs.
The results are that he will favor a
certain breed because they do better
for him, when In reality the others
would have done Just as well if they
had received the treatment which was
due, them. Do not attempt too much,
but select a breed and then a variety
and stick to them.
Layers for Next Winter.
One great advantage of having early
chicks is that yon may hare pulleti
ready to lay In the fall or early win
ter and thus have eggs when they art
high, fa price. Eggs are dear now,
and one could appreciate pullets that
-were tkeUtng out eggs.

Milam Medicine Co., Danville, Va.
Gentlemen I have been afflicted with a tor
taring skin disease pronounced by the physi
cians to be "Psoriasis," and have had it for tea
years. No treatment of the physicians ever re
lieved me, and I continued to grow worse and
was unable to do my work. By the advice of my
physician I commenced to take Milam on March
8th last. .Iam now far on the road to recovery,
and feel that I will be entirely cured. I am now
at work and feel no inconvenience from it
"I take great pleasure in giving this certificate
and think Milam it a great medicine.
Yours truly.
J. W. PINCHBACK.
