BOY SHOT WHILE HUNTING. A son of Walt er W iseman, who lives on the Joe Austin farm southwest of town, borrowed a boat Sunday and went hunting, promising to return early. Not returning, a searching party went to look for him. They searched in vain tyitil about 7 a. m., Monday morning when his lifeless body was found, face down, lying in the water near the Hodge ditch, north of Kersey, The supposition is that the gun was discharged accidentally; that he had the weapon lying in the bottom of the boat with the muzzle pointing towards him, and that in reaching tor it and pulling it to him it was discharged, the force of the discharge when it struck him throwing him from the' boat into the water, the load from the gun entering the neck andranged upward, coming out near the base of the brain, death must have been instantanous.

HINTS FOR FARMERS How to Make Corncob Charcoal. The following Is one of the best ways to provide charcoal from corncobs for the hogs: Dig a hole five feet deep, making It two feet in diameter at the bottom and five feet at the top. When you have enough cobs saved to make a burning start a wood fire In the bottom of the pit and let It become a bed of coala about three or four Inches deep. Then fill In the cobs so that the fire will keep burning, but not rapidly enough to produce a flame. The cobs should be perfectly dry when they are placed In the pit. When the pit has been filled as full as possible place a sheet Iron cover over It so that all air Is excluded. It may be necessary to throw dirt over the -edges of the cover to prevent air from being admitted. Leave the coals in this- air tight basin for twenty-four hours and they will re ready for use. In feeding It is a good plan to mix about one pound of common salt with each bushel of cob charcoal. The hogs need both charcoal and salt, and this Is the best and cheapest way to provide these essentials. Exposure Wastes Manure. In an/6xact experiment conducted at Cornell university 4,000 pounds of ordinary manure from the horse stables, worth $2.74 per ton for the plant food it contained, were exposed in a pile out of doors from April 25 to Sept 22 (less than five mouths), but at the end of that time the total weight had decreased to 1,730 pounds, and that was worth 7 only $2.34 per ton. In other words, the value of this pile of manure was reduced from $5.48 to $2.03 during the five months’ exposure. In another experiment manure exposed for six months lost 56 per cent -of its dry matter and 43 per cent of its plant food value. In this case the fresh manure was worth $2.27 a ton. white the rotted manure was worth $3.01 a ton, but the loss in total weight and in plant food was such that for each ton originally worth $2.27 there remained only SIJO worth after six months* exposure.

Ashes and Salt For Hogs. _ We have several times referred to the Importance of ashes and salt for hogs, sayft Chicago Inter Ocean. Attention is again called to the fact that Professor Deary of the Wisconsin station repeatedly commended salt and ashes. By numerous experiments he found that pigs fed cornmeal with salt and water got very fat in a short time, but failed to improve. Pigs fed cornmeal, hardwood ashes, salt and water did better and made better growth of bone. The pigs having ashes made better bone and better gain. He also showed that in the absence of ashes wk may profitably feed ground bone. Corn alone may be used a few weeks to fatten a pig, but It Is so far from a balanced ratton that the growth Is abnormal, and it is unprofitable to attempt to grow pigs on com alone. Big Bonos Not Desired In Sheep. ' In sheep large bones are an unfavorable point, as they denote an abstraction of nutriment which should otherwise go to the foundation of flesh and the greater value of the carcass. The absence of horns is for the same reason desirable for sheep bred for mutton. A soft, mellow feeling of the skin and the tissue underneath, with softness of the fleece, is indicative of a tendency toward the rapid formation of fat. A round frame and broad loin indicate the existence of abundant flesh where it is most desirable, and a general squareness of the outline of the figure proves the existence of largo -muscular development and heavy quarters.
