An Invalid.

To the Editor

of

PJ

The Journal.

In your paper, THE WEEKLY JOUBthere appeared an article headed, ''She Shuns the Town," which is misleading, as the lady referred to is an Invalid. The facts in the case are these: Seven years past Mrs. Mahorney had two teeth drawn which reRaited in hemorrhage and the lady came near losing her life. Before she had fully recovered she was taken with ,-jfcyphoid fever and her life was again disl^paired of when the fever left her with bad case of nervous proetration. It is -^^true she had not been in town for six fetWears, although residing only one and |j$f|cne-half miles from the town. She is ^j^in estimable woman and has a score of ^^friends who would be glad to hear of filler recovery. -i-

Government Crop Bulletin.

Cool, fair weather predominated, with good rains only in localities of the northern portion on one day. Light frosts occurred on two mornings in 'localities, but there was not anything to be injured except, perhaps, a few tender plants, a few late tomatoes or sweet potatoes. Com is all safe from frost, and most of it is cut and in shock in some localities all is secured and hulling has begun the tops make good fodder as hay is scarce. In general the yield is very good in some localities it is the greatest crop for years. A fair crop of tobacco is all housed in good condition. A good crop of millet and buckwheat is being harvested and a fair amount of sorghum is being rendered. Potatoes' are not a good yield, except in a, few counties of the northern portion, where the crop is heavy. Turnips, pumpkins and melons are an extraordinary crop. A fair crop of sweet potatoes are being dug. Apples and cider are in such abundance that there is no market for them, and in some -localities there are not barrels enough to hold the cider. Most of the wheat is all sown the early sown wheat, rye and barley are coming up .nicely, but there are fly in the wheat in localities and it must be resown. Farmers in {general are satisfied with this year's harvest.

Death of Kin Abbie M. Chase. From the-Wamego, Kans., Agriculturalist, we clip the following relative to the death of a former well. known school teacher of this county: "Died—At the Presbyterianmanse in Warn ego, Sunday morning, September 22, 1895, Miss Abbie M. Chase. The deceased was born in Bainbridge, Put nam county, Indiana, August

23,

1846.

Her father, Rev. Moody Chase, was a Presbyterian minister, who spent his active life and died in Indiana. Her, mother, Mrs. Hannah J. Chase, is known to many cf our citizens. Miss Chase was a very successful school teacher and for sixteen years consecutively taught in her native State. She was critical and exact as a scholar. As a teacher patient, firm and successful. Though small in stature, she was always (successful in- governing the worst of scholars, and -to-day men and women are in many places of honor who were pupils of Miss Chase, hence her work goes on. Miss Chase also taught In Texas and in Kansas. Her past illness was long and exceedingly painful. It only lacked two days of being six months that she was confined to her bed, with it all she wu patient. Funeral services were held at the home of her sister, Mrs. N. D. Johnson, and were conducted by Rev. H. R. Lewis, assisted by Rev. W. L. Morris. Though an invalid since her residence in Warnego, she, by her patient, loving ways acquired many friends."-

A Miraculous Escape.

On Wednesday about 9 o'clock Jeddy Harlow, who resides one mile south of Wesley, met with an accident that he will be apt to remember. He was driving into the city in a road cart when, at the intersection of Market street and Grant avenue, he collided with a large plank protruding from an old fire cistern. In so doing his sulkey was overturned and the horse started to ran with Mr. Harlow fastened in the wheels. Several men who witnessed the accident rushed to young Harlow's assistance and succeeded in stopping the horse and rescuing him before he was killed. The board causing the accident could not be seen by the driver from the fact that Its point stood not to exceed eighteen inches aboye the ground and being braced in the fire cistern no vehicle could drive over it. Mr. Harlow had a miraculous escape, indeed, for outside of a few scratches he was uninjured. His cart, however, was considerably worsted.

FIVE GALLONS OF WHISKY.

A Pndou Consignment of Good Bed Uqnor Nipped From a KOMI Oar By John MeCarty.

John Patrick MeCarty is a strange Frenchman who eame here some weeks ago to work as a stone cutter on the Wabash avenue bridge. Mr. MeCarty roomed at she residence of Morris Carroll and drank wherever the liquor was hottest and handiest. Last Friday night he got hold of a five gallon demijohn of good Kentucky whisky which had been in a Monon car when the sun went down. The car was locked but of course the door might have blown open and the demijohn fallen out along side the track where Mr. MeCarty found it. There is a strong presumption existing, however, that Mr. MeCarty broke open that car and stole that whisky. The only other freight in the car was a pile of clover seed, and our French friend would probably have nailed that too, if he hadn't thought it was a pile of sahd from Hoosier slide. He took the whisky to Bill Raub and endeavored to induce Bill to stow it'away for him. William had undergone some salutary experiences of this character in times past, however, so he refused. MeCarty accordingly took the whisky to his room, where what remained of it, two gallons, was recovered, by the police last Monday. Officer Bannister went to Monon Monday night to arrest MeCarty, it being reported that he was there. He was not, however, and Tuesday it was ascertained that he visited his room at the Carroll place on Monday and there learned that the police were on his trail.v He has not been

M-Z

seen since. The whisky in question was consigned to Chris Sweeney, of Yountsville, the genial grocer of that place. Mr. Sweeney frequently receives similar consignments via the Monon. The liquor is all of it used by him in the manufacture of "mince pies like mother used to make."

The Feeding Value of Oats. The price paid farmers for oats at the present time 1B lower than for many years, perhaps the lowest In the history of the United States. From 1870 to 1895, the lowest average value for oats In the United States in any one year was 22.9 for 1889. The quotations on oats in Chicago markets today are 10 to 12 cents less per bushel bhan for a year ago at this time.

One hundred pounds of average ohts and corn are each supposed to contain the 'following amounts of food nutrients that are digested by the animal body:

Protein. Carbohydrates. Fat.

OatS.....« 9.26 .48.34 4.18 Corn 7.92 66.89 ...4.28 Protein is the flesh or muscle forming material, while carbohydrates and fat are important fat forming foods. Of the two foods, protein is the most expensive to produce. The so-called rich" foods are so designated on account of having a larger per centage of protein than the others, and they are usually the highest priced foods in the market. Oil meal is' a good example of this class of food containing a larg per cent, of protein.

From the above it can be seen that 100 pounds of oats contain decidedly more flesh or muscle forming food than 100 pounds of corn.

On the basis of Lafayette quotations 100 pounds of oats would fetch 50 cents and 100 pounds of corn, 48 cents.

In view of these extremely low prices, the writer believes feeders will do well to feed oats, rather than sell them and buy bran, which Is now 70 cents per 100- No other grain Is superior, if equal to oats as a food for working horses. For growing cattle or sheep or milch cows it is most desirable, and should be much more fed than It Is. Instead of feeding corn as the only grain, a decided improvement would be a mixture of two parts ground corn and one part oats. While oats are less referred to than other common grains.in recommending feeding rations it is not because of inferior value, but rather from the cost of this food. At the present time, however, the low price will warrant its more extensive use. In a list of 100 rations used by prominent dairy cattle feederf In the United States and Canada, published by the Wisconsin experiment station, oats are fed 35 times. Of 9 Canadian feeders, 8 added ground oats

to the rations. !I a? It is not the purpose of this com munication to reflect upon the feeding value of other food stuffs, but, rather, to urge a more extensive use of oats, especiaUy during the present depression in prices. C. 3. PLUMB, a*- Director,
