OL. XXX. CA8SVILLE, MISSOURI. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 17, 1901.

NO. 12 Xaa. A nice rain fell here last Friday. Wheat sowing is still in progress. H.

K. Pritcliett has moved to Mays-vilJe, Ark. Geo. Huffman will liinvn tn 4n rr.m aif if it tata una fancies uicanca br Tbe Republicans Bust )j. Rustlers Hf iff isn't U3 Cook's Fault.

It isn't your Grocer's Fault, that the bnlk coffee you just purchased turns out to be differ-" ent from the "same kind" bought before. Coffee purchased ia bulk is sure to vary. The sealed package in which LION COFFEE is sold insures uniform flavor and strength. It also keeps the coffee fresh and insures absolute purity. Apple Orchards.

Tbe development of apple orchards in what fs now tbe states began, he said, in 1650, when some seedlings were produced by immigrants who had arrived in Massachusetts. Up to 1880 tbe bulk of the marketable apple crop of the United States was produced along the great lakes. Two counties in New York have produced barrels In a year, and orchards of thirty, forty, and even 100,000 trees are not uucommon in those counties. Tbe monopoly of the lake Ptatea, ha, however, passed away. Kansas and Missouri, which first began producing apples twenty years ago, aie now two of tbe greatest factors in the situation.

To-day these two states combined produce more apples than auv foreign country in the world, not even excluding Russia. At Olden, there Is an orchard of 300,000 trees, Tbe oirglnal orchard In that state contained 120 acres. This was set out in 1876 at Falrmount, In Leavenworth County. In 1878, 160 acres were added to this plantation, and in 1879, 160 acres more. This made a total of 440 acres In one plantation, the total investment being about Four years from planting the flrt-t orchard gave 1,504 bushels; in 1802 from the whole plantation there was gathered 17,037 bufhels, and In 1800 the total yield wa 79,170 bushel valued at $52,000.

This was a reiurn of $113 per acre In the ten year9 after the first planting tbe total yield was 300,000 butdiels, giving a cash return of over expenses. This was over 10 per cent on the money Invested for every year after the planting of the lasteect'on of the orchard. Journal. Another Murder. Once agaiu Peirce City is called upon to record another murder, that of Walter Ward, which makes three murders that have been committed within the past year.

The first was that of Nigbtwatch Chappell, Miss Wilde aud the present one. "Sunday evening about 5 o'clock John- Venso struck Walter Ward with a rock or brickbat, on the bead, crushing bis skull, from which he died at 2 o'clock Monday morning. The circumstances as we can get them are simply that Venso had been drunk on tbe streets most all day and was in a fighting mood towards evening. Mr. Ward was standing on depot platform waiting for the evening traiu when Venso came along and remarked that he could whip anyone in sight nrt immediately struck Ward who sank to the platform.

He was carried to his brother's bouse across tbe track and tenderly cared for, hut the cowardly blow had landed In a vital spot and be died. Venso made a break for liberty as soon as he had struck the fatal blow, aud was followed by Marshal Johnson, who was close bebiud him, but he got away near Hie cemetery. The marshal came back to the city and enlisted the help of Constable Vick and one or two others, when tbey went over and captured bim and ha was put iu the city jail until his victim became so bad that Ihey thought beet to take Venso to Mt. Vernon, which was done that night. Walter Ward was a brother of tbe section bos in this city, and his parents live in Monett, to which place his remains will be takeu for interment, It Is a bd thing and lb citizens of this city, deeply deplore the disgrace which, has been brought on us.

It was a cowardly attack and the law will probably fix the murderer where he will never commit another. However, this don't stop such things, and tbey uever will be stopped as long as things are allowed to be as they are. Peirce City Empire. Disinfecting Poultry Houses. One of the best methods of disinfecting of which we have any knowledge is burning sulphur.

Sulphur iu powdered form will melt and smothei a fire and tbe best results are not obtained. A very good way to burn it when this is the only form in which it can be obtained Is tn make a preparation of equal parts of pine tar, turpentine and kerosene, in which large cobs may be soaked. Sprinkle tbe sulphur on these cobs ami set shem on fire, placing them in tbe poultry bouse where they will do the most gojKL vA very good way to make the cobs barn fs to sharpen slicks and put Iu tbe pith of tbe cobs when, after having been treated, they can be stuck iu the ground floor of the poultry house and then fired. It will be necessary to take precautions against any combustibles that may be in the house before tbe disinfecting Is begun. During warm weather this can be done once a month to advantage.

Any breathing insect or animal has a difficult time in Jiving in the fumes of burning sulphur. Disease germs are destroyed by them, aud a wholesome air is given to the inteiiorof (he quarters. Ex. soon to make that hia future home. Eld.

In its experiments with cowpeas, tbe Missouri Experiment station nods the best varieties tor hog pasture are the New Era, Whippoorwlll and the Black. For hay tbe Clay Is the best variety for central and northern Missouri, all things considered, tor 'the reason that It Is very productive, has a rather floe stem which enables it to be cured into hay more readily than most others, and it holds its foliage well before and after cutting, its chief disadvantage is that it does not produce seed this far north and one must buy southern grown seed each year. The Whippoorwlll Is generally recommended for the Northern states because It matures rather early and produces a fair seed crop. But it is not a good hay variety, and alter trying it along with fifty or sixty other varieties for a number of yearB, we are fully convinced that except for hog pasture it is not a profitable variety.

The Black ia the best combination bog pasture and hay variety, and a good all-around nort, although not so good for hay as the Clay. For green manuring the Clay and Unknown or Wonderful are tbe sorts to be recommended, according to this authority. Obituary.
