New Castle, Ind., March 4. Charles M. Christopher, aged 56 years, died suddenly yesterday at his home in Vine , street of acute Indigestion. Previous to this morning Mr. Christopher had been In seemingly good health and the announcement of his death created great surprise. He was ill . but an hour until the end came. Mr. Christopher was well known over the state in Republican circles and was chairman of the Henry County Republican Central Committee. He also served three terms as sheriff of Henry county from. Aug. 23. 1901, to Jan. 1, 1906. As a politician he was one of the close friends and advisers of Representative Watson. Mr. Wat son returned .' to Washington Monday afternoon after attending the funeral of his father, and it is expected that he' will come back to Indiana to attend the funeral of his friend. Mr. Christopher was an enthusiastic supporter of Watson, and during the last campaign did much to turn, the opinion of Henry County Republicans who had vowed tp defeat him for Governor. Helped Build Watson' "Fences." Tn all matters pertaining to the Sixth District congress man's fences "Christy," as he was. familiarly known was prominent. Representative Wat son was notified by telegram of the death. The dead man enjoyed the ac quaintance at many of the state's prominent Republican politicians, and it was understood that he was to have had a good berth if Watson had been elected Governor, , Mr. Christopher became ill early yesterday morning from an attack of acute indigestion and medical aid could not avail anything to save his life. He died about 9:30 o'clock. Mrs. Christopher and a daughter,' Mrs. J. E. Troyer of Indianapolis, survive. The funeral will inall probability be held Friday. " . A Relinious Author's Statement Rev.

WHAT ONE BOY DID. The blue rlLirous that were pulled down In the Angus class at the international live stock show held at Chicago early in December prove that one of the most successful breeders of this type of cattle in the country was a young man of the name of Otto Battles, who happens to live at .Maquokela. Ia.; but who for the purposes .f this article might have lived in auy
other state" or section of the country.. - : : Last year, et the age of twenty-three, snch as-Cliie-ago.-New York. Kansas he exhibited nine head f cattle and City and Buffalo being there eonyertcaptured some of the best prizes of , , "raU"0SV St m . n.. kii.iJt t.4 'sella for a trifle less than the genuine fered. This year he exhibited sixteen fa Uged ,n considerable quantI. head of ; DoMies and, captured still tug by hotels anJ restaurants and on more blue ribbons,' attending in all ainlug cars.

He then went back home and developed bis .little herd intelligently until today he has close to a hundred head of as flue Angus cattle as can be seen, anywhere. That raising pure bred stock is profitable as well as entertaining is shown in the. prices he receives for animals sold.. A pair of heifers which he disposed of recently brought him $800, while for three others' he : received $500 each. He sells his bulls for prices ranging from $350 to 1500 apiece, and one cow which he wisely keeps - in his own his own bands he aMn.aii. values at $2,500. Battles got no encouragement In this work rroni uis rather, wno. tnougn a , . ,, ,. niraworkms man, ivot uv huc&! iu these newfangled, ideas. His mother encouraged htm, however, and the two proved a successful team. . This instance of success may be somewhat out of the ordinary, but it shows nice- . k ly what can be accomplished with intelligence and energy and disproves the claim of some that there are no opportunities today: for boys ort-the farm. '. Other boys can do what this one did if they only think so. , A SPRAYING DEMONSTRATION. The Nebraska experiment station has lately tabulated the results of an, extensive series of spraying expert- j ments which have been carried on un ler its direction in the eastern part of '
the state during the past three years, yoke. If such It may W called, inand they are so complete and worked stead of being attached to the animal out in such detail as to furnish most according to the American fashion, is convincing proof of the advantage and strapped firmly to the horns and Just profit In the spraying, of apple orback of them. While this method of
cbards. . The figures given are the number of trees in the experiment was 2,005 and . their age nineteen years.' The average cost pe gallon of sprayBg material was four-fifths of 'a cent andnhe cost of application 1 cent per gallon. An average of seventeen gallons of spraying liquid , was used on each tree yearly, while the total cost of material and labor per tree each year was 30 cents. At picking time It was found that the sprayed trees yielded on an average 5.5 bushels of apples, which brought 41 cents per bushel, or i total of $226, while the unsprayed trees bore 3.2 bushels of fruit, each cf which sold at' 22 cents per bushel, giving a return of 70 cents per tree. A subtraction shows that the sprayed trees yielded a revenue of 91.50 per tree more than the unsprayed. while the deduction of the cost of the spraying. SO cents, leaves Y3A as the net gain per tree due to spraying. To these very convincing figures may be added the further statement that the trees were in a much more vigorous and healthy condition at the end of the three years spraying than at the start. While this could not be figured accurately ia dollars and cents. It would nevertheless be considerable. A LESSON IN CULTIVATION. An Interesting picture object lesson which Is oa display In the farm crops section of the Indiana experiment station shows two fields of corn side by side, the one oa the left given no cultivation after planting and that oa the right cultivated fear times. At bar vest time the first field yielded 2.S bushels of corn, while the utter produced 86.4 bushels. One might almost wish that a third field had been shown which bad bean cultivated six times, for there Is little question that there would have been an increase of from twelve to fifteen bushels per acre. However, the two fields photographed give a Striking and valuable object lesson. Results secured in other field experiments' showed clearly the advantage of disking corn bind before plowing, which gives a mellow subsoil and permits the redly circulation of ah and Medium red clover will yield In seed all - the way from half , a bushel to seven boahels per acre, the average probably betas somewhat nader two. The largest yield mentioned is possible only under the meet favorable conditions of growth aad . maturity and where the production of the seed Is made a primary and sot a secondary consideration. -- According to the bureau of animal Industry at Waaatngtua. a considerable number of u usstirsd Angora goats
II i. Those who are looking for land bill openings will bo Interested ia a Introduced In congress Ja early December to open a new government bud reservations. The bill as Intro duced provides that the new district shall include the southern pnrt of j Eutte county, not included In the Lemmon district and the northern tier of townships In Meade county. As illustrating the truth that success in most .-.uy line lies in doing a thing a little better than the other fellows may be cited the case of a farmer we read of the other day , who the past year raised 1,000 bushels of thoroughbred corn on ten acres and bandied , the crop in such shape that he was ",e to realize S150 per acre from it mrougu " v corn for seed. Here's a case where a I :- . out of it. . A Texas senator lias recently Jumped into fame as a frog king, having followed as a side line on his 200 acre at E1 CamP tbe rais,ni,.' While newspaper reports credit them ewspaper reports with being as large as chickens, an eyewitness declares that the frogs raised on this farm are the finest and largest he ever saw, being largely the result of special care and feeding. Three of the fellows are said to make a meal for five people, the meat being as sweet end tender as that of a vouns spring chlcksn. . ' v V ' ' Oxen are the common draft animals used by the. Mexican farmer. In haiv nessing them for their work the neck fastening seems to be awkward and even uncomfortable for the animals, they seem to get along qnite well with it The neck of the Mexican ox. abnormally large and muscular from the exercise which it bas had from generations of this kind of exercise, Is so thick that it won'd be impossible to adjust to It an American yoke, with which the pulling .is done from the shoulder and not by means of the neqk proper. .. If the recent, national corn show at Omaha made one. point clear for the casual observer it was that, while corn types and characteristics may not be transmitted frori parent to child as completely or unfailing as in the animal kingdom, they are transmissible to such an extent as to make the business of corn breeding a most interesting as well as profitable - occupation for the average farmer. The . best types of corn shown at the exposition were not the result of chance, but of years of careful and painstaking selection and breeding, just as is the case with the prize animals that carry off , the blue ribbons at the International fat stock show. Both "cases cited emphasize the law of cause and effect and give force to the truth that like produces like.' The valuable work whlcb Is being done by agricultural state experiment stations might become more useful than at present If farmers would make more frequent Inquiry than they do of the station officials for Information along the various lines In which they are Interested. The experiment station officials are not omniscient, but they are doing a painstaking and valuable, though unappreciated work. bav-. ing for Its prime object the betterment of the agricultural Interests and pursuits of their own state. They are In a position to do so and will gladly answer queries of any kind touching the operations in which they sre engaged. They consider it their business to pass 4 upon the purity of clover and other grass seeds submitted to them for inspection: can say whether a given type of small grain or corn is adapted to the home state or a given locality: will identify weeds of all kinds submitted for examination ' and state whether harmful or no; will define a balanced ration and state how it may be fed to best advantage: will describe best methods for securing and handling the various crops: furnish .valuable information ' touching dairy - management, besides a good deal of other valuable and useful data. Every farmer in every state should find out where his own state experiment station is located. If he does not know already, aad after this be should get Into eonv municaifeo with the officials as often
The Bank Chk. A Frenchman quoted lu a Paris letter of the London Globe tells of the origin of the present day bank check. It is well known, he says, that the fog Is at times so dense in Loudon that everything is blotted out. That Is the opportunity for the marauder, and be is not slow in turning it to his profit. At the beginning of last century the attacks made upon bank messengers and others became so numerous . that tradesmen and manufacturers began to think seriously of devising some means of protecting themselves. They therefore invented the check, which enables a man to go about with little i reaoy money auu reuuera usi-iras iue I . . . m . , , i ,i inuiscreec expioraiioa oc m pwnouvk.
