KING CARLOS.

ways fearful lest these signs of revolution would culminate in some dreadful outburst of passion, Portugal was not prepared for the blow that fell Saturday when king and prince were shot to death in a public place wlier 1 thousands had gathered to greet their homecoming. Queen Sits by Her Dead. All night Queen Amelle in the royal palace sat between the biers where rested the bodies of her husband and her son, prostrated with grief. Troops guarded the palace, a squadron of cavalry surrounded the house In which the premier, Franco, passed the night, special details were drawn up before public buildings, and reserves were quartered in barracks ready for a cal! that might come to spring to arms. City Under Martial Law. Martial law and the suspension of constitutional guarantees have been proclaimed, and the municipal authorities are taking the needed steps to prevent a recurrence of disorders. Tb» palace and the public buildings are still guarded by troops and the police are in strong force on the streets. It has been officially denied here that the revolutionary movement is spreading to Oporto or anywhere else in Portugal. DETAILS OF THE TRAGEDY Attack, of the Conspirator* on the Royal Carriage. No more beautiful day could be imagined than that which hereafter will mark the date on which King Carlos and Crown Prince Lula met their death at the hands of assassins. Returning from a sojourn at the king’s •state at Villa Vicosa—accompanied by tee queen, the crown prince and the Intent Manuel—tee sovereign seemingly waa In happy mood when b* stepped into tee carriage in waiting at the railroad station, Thousands of spectators, gaily altfred, In combination with the bright decorations set ont to welcome tea royal family, made an animated scene. Then, as tee carriage sharply turned Into the Ana do Arsenal, there was a crackling ©f guns and a shower of bul-

lots that tore Is way lno he bodies Sf the king and crown prince, and the ttle prince who proved an easy target Theassassins, nutnberingsixin all, boldly ran up to the sides of the carriage and poured In a hall of lead before the stupefied escort could intervene. The king ami crown prince, hnlf rising, fell back into the cushions, the blood gushing from many wounds. The eoaehman brought his whip a c rass the flanks of his horses, and with a bound they dashed away, disappearing into the arsenal quadrangle. The panicstricken people, who had fled on all sides, could see the queen leaning over the crown prince and her younger son, who also was bleeding from wounds made by the assassins’ bullets.

FATHER AND SON DIE TOGETHER

Assassins Pursued and Three of Them Shot Dead. How many shots were fired no one can say, but It was a veritable fusillade coming from the right side of the street. The effort of the crown prince, who was sitting opposite to the king, to rise, was pitiful and without avail, for he just lifted himself sufficiently to pitch forward and fall over the prostrate bodyof his father. Queen Aemlle, uttering a scream that could be beard by all who had not become frenzied by he attack, threw heraself towards her sons, shielding heir bodies with her own. She frantically struck at the murderers with a bouqet of rose# which she had been carrying, but even in the face of this the men tired again and again. As he saw his father and his brother fall Prince Manuel whipped out a revolver and discharged it at the men, but was himself struck on the right arm by a bullet from a carbine. A footman in the carriage also was wounded, and it was stated that a bullet grazed the queen’s shoulder, but did not do her harm. Only mounted police accompanied the carriage, as the king had refused military escort. The attack came from the rear; for it was found afterward that the king bad been shot in the back of the neck, and it was so entirely unexpected that the murderers had emptied their carbines and revolvers almost before the police knew what was going on, and had turned to flee into the crowds, that now, panic-stricken, dropped back before their weapons. The guard charged upon them, pursuing them down the streets and riddling three of them with bullets. Hundreds of the people joined In the pursuit, and there others of the band of assassins were made prisoners. The royal carriage had by this time been driven into the quadrangle and the gates of the arsenal were shut. The grief of he queen and Prince Manuel was heart breaking. Within a few minutes the queen mother, the Dowager Queen Marla Pia; the Duke of Oporto, the king’s brother, and the ministers of state asesmbled, all weeping bitterly.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Raising Calves by Hand. Probably the most serlons obstacle In raising calves by hand is scours. This is the most common ailment among band fed calves. Scours are caused by a number of conditions, mostly due to careless feeding. The most common causes and those which can be easily avoided are overfeeding; cold milk, sour milk, dirty buckets and the practice of feeding grain in the milk. Overfeeding has been mentioned before. The milk should be weighed or measured accurately at every feed. If it is found that the calf needs more milk, the amount should be increased gradually. Changing suddenly to n heavier feed is almost certain to cause scours. The milk should always be fed warm, and only sweet milk should be used. If it is impossible to have the milk sweet all the time, then it should always be fed sour. Good chives can be raised on sour milk, but if it is sour one feed and sweet the next the calves are almost certain to have trouble with scours. The buckets should be washed and scalded after each feeding, so that they will be clean and sweet.—Caleb Raukier in Farmers Advocate. Buckwheat Bran as a Btock Feed. Buckwheat feed, meaning the bran with most of the hulls removed, furnishes the very best of protein food for the dairy cow, writes C. D. Smead. V. S., lit National Stockman. When mixed equally with corumeal it makes a good fattening food for swine. When mixed with oats it is a grand feed for sheep. When mixed with wheat bran and cornmeal, all equally by weight, it makes a falf horse feed when the horse is being only moderately used. My hogs have this year fattened on it mixed as advised, any my milk cows are now eating ten pounds per day of this buckwheat feed with corn silage. My sheep have been fed on buckwheat feed for several years with silage and hay, with more or less oats. At present my horses are eating an equal mixture of wheat bran, buckwheat feed and oats and are doing well, aithough this is the first winter I have thus fed them. Shelter Cheaper Than Feed. Make the cow stable comfortable and sanitary and put the cows therein to stay unless the weather is so pleasant that you yourself would enjoy going out and taking a sun bath. Such a stable need not be expensive, but It must have light, pure air and cleanliness. Arrange it so the cows are comfortable at all times. A cow fastened in a rigid stanchion cannot be comfortable, nor if she must lie on a cold or filthy bed, and you need not take my word that it will pay you, because you will discover for yourself by actual experience that from the increased production and the decreased amount of feed needed you are getting a fine dividend on your investment.—L. W. Lighty in National Stockman. Sulphur Expelled the Rats. Here Is a Maine farmer’s mode of ridding his premises of rats and mice: •“If yon sprinkle sulphur on your bam floor and through your com as you gather it, there will not be a rat or mouse to bother. I have done this for years and have never been bothered with rats or mice. I have some old corn in my crib at present, and not a rat or mouse can be found. In stacking hay or oats sprinkle on the ground and a little through each load, and my word for it, rats or mice can’t stay there. A pound of sulphur will be sufficient to preserve a large bam at com and is good for stock and will not hurt the com or bread.”—American Cultivator. Farm Work. There is small excuse for being idle on the farm, says American Cultivator. No matter how bad the weather, the man who manages well will always find something for his bands and himself to do In the barn or the shed or the shop, and every farm should have a shop. There will be harness to oil or ladders to make or mend or axes to grind or saws to sharpen or a dozen and one things to do to have tools and utensils ready for bright days—plenty to do besides whittling and whistling. Ration For Laying Hons. An excellent ration for laying hens In the winter is equal parts of cracked com, oats * chop and shorts. To this add enough clover or alfalfa bay tea, with the partially cooked leaves aqd stems remaining in the tee, to make the mixture a stiff maBS. In addition, the birds should have plenty of grit and occasionally a little meat food. Meat meal or chipped meat. If the latter is not tainted, ia a good way to supply this feed. Cure For Qreaae Hsol. A subscriber writes that he has found the following treatment reliable for grease heel, say* the Chicago Inter Ocean: Wash the part with casttle soap suds till it la free from impure matter or sn balances, then apply coal tar disinfectants once each day till cure Is effected. If the scab becomes unhealthy, wash again with soapsuds and repeat with the coal tar. Be sure to keep animal in dry stall. Worms In Colts. For- Intestinal worms in colts the following mixture Is used by veterinarians: Mix together as a base one pound each of salt and granulated sugar. Ia this mix one-half pound of tobacco dost or fine cut tobacco, four ounces of sulphate of iron powder, six ounce* of powdered wormseed. Give a heaping teaspoonful in the feed at first once per day, then twice per day, and keep It up for three weeks. ' .vl
