The ii eevester trust fs now boldly reach- irae out after the entire industry. The trust wants the farmer to buy al! sheir farm implements from the ‘Tresst when the time comes, and it wit! ifthey are successful, there will wil! be no competition left and the ‘Test can dictate to the farmer on every implement he buys as will be shown in this article. First the Levast has already secretely bought taco additional harvester plants, viz, a). M. Osborneman & Co., Auburn, Ni Alman & Miller Co, Akron, vio, and the “Minnie” harvester Placitat St. Paul, Minn. This gives it sontrolof @ large thare cf the het esting output. Ithas also ad- vo its original line of manufac- so that instead of confining to harvesting machinery alone, it es burrows, cultivators, prea. und jertilizer drile, and seeders, bes pressess, hay rakes, hay tericusve, corn huskers and shredders, ene. liarvesters, Manure spreaders, grows line engines, cream separators, tai.ace implements, farm wagons, TL. c HE ‘¢ most 100 per cent of the regular fnouocment dealers of the country i 'e harvesting machinery. As 1 “ist now makes about, 92 per ‘ ‘the harvesting machinery it fe ows that 92 per cent of dealers | ruc “trustagents. A dealer who has toew dled a certain line of harvesting yous hinery for a number of years can hardly afford to give it up. His resrair business is increasing each i. xeear, it brings him trade in other “ hiszes, it isa trade mark and an im- plement dealer regards a line of hacvesting machinery almost as a mecessity. his gives the Trust a strong hold om the dealer and this is the way it fe used. In 1903, the record year of ft« organization, or really the first year, the Trust slipped into the “ex- chwelve clause” of their agency con- tract the word “hay rakes,” thereby bfading the dedler to sell only Trust Thay rakes and further fining him $5 fio each hay rake he might sell not ef the trust make. Mn 1904 the Trust reached out ater the rich and rapidly-growing Eesdker and shredder trade, including Ines in the “exclusive clause” gwed making the dealer sign an ‘ qugreement to pay the Trust $50 for husker and shredder sold not even make. - * Bin the 1905 contract, which the Healer must sign {n the fall of 1904, ¢fise Trust emboldened by the success Mhis methods, reaches out to seize the hands of the independent Wao can mgke all the goods you need, and competition will be lively if you will only keep them in the field, What are the farmers and dealers to do?

Winchester, Ky., Feb. 13.—Quite the most sensational development in the litigation over the Breathitt county murders developed today in the deposition of Moses Feltner who lets Kentucky after having beensum- moned as a witness in the damage case of Mrs. Abrella Marcum against Judge James Hargis and others for conspiracy in connection with the murder of James B. Marcum. Feltner’s statement is that Attor- ney B. F. French offered him $1,000 to leave Winchester without testify- ing, declaring that if he did not go he would be hanged for the murder of Jesse Fields some time ago in Breathitt county. Feltner says he accepted the $1000 went to Cincinnatti and turned it over to his brother, Felix Feltner. Later he (Mose Feltner) was met in Cincinnatt! by Mr. French and told to stay where he was as warrants had been issued for him.

Groff and Samuel A. Groff, who were sentenced to imprisonment in the Moundsville penitentiary as a result of postal in- vestigations, arrived from Washing- ton today. Eleven other prisoners were also in the party. Machen and the Groffs had nothing to say and appeared unconcerned. Owing to the absence of Warden Haddox, the prisoners will not be assigned duties until Tuesday. Samuel Groff is broken in health and will not likely be put to work for some time. cASTORIA.

Standard Oil Co. Deserts . Kansas Oil Fields. Independence, Kan., Feb. 11—The Standard Oil company to-day sus- pended operations in the Kansas field. Orders were received to stop buylng oil, aud from this on only enough will be taken from the Kan- 8as field to supply the two Standard refineries at Neodesha and Kansas City. The order, which took effect at 6 o’clock tonight, threw 900 men out of employment, but its result will be to paralize the developement of the Kansas field thus throwing thous ands of other men out of empl@y- ment.

Brackett, Tex., Feb 13 —Jimmie| Balantyne, Frank Matthews and Clarenes Mactin, thre young men had royal eport after a buneh of juv- elins on the T. ©. Frost ranch last week, There were 16 javelins in the bunch and the boys succeeded in kill- ing three after which the others ran into a large eave. Two of the boys and two dogs followed in after the unlucky 13 and for the next fifteen minutes there was enough eport to satisfy even a President Roosevelt, | ~~ but the boys and dogs won the vie- tory and killed off the entire herd One of the dogs was cut severely across the shoulder, but not killed The boys had great sport in roping one javelin which was on the outside. A few days before this in the same pasture, the boys were chasing a herd of javelins »itha dog. In the brush the animals turned and cut the dog, a very valuable animal, to pieces, The javelins havelong curved tusks several inches in length, which they keep sharp as a keen knife by fre- against tooth. They are very dan- gerous enemies if cornered or pushed too closely, but ordinarily they will not chase @ person, The wound they make is not like the bite of a dog, but is a long gash like that left with the slash of a razor. Javelins are plentiful in the hills a few miles north of Brackett. Deer hunters frequently find berds but rarely shoot at them, fearing fright- ening deer awsy by shooting. The javelin lives in dark brushy canyons and sleeps usually in caves, They ‘do not need to go to watering places | J as they get moisture by chewing up roots which they get out of the ground, Prepares for Cremation Before Shooting Himself. Ft. Wayne, Ind., Feb 14 —Augu ¢ Pequigout, a farmer aged 40, who resided near Huntertown, Ind., left his house yesterday, went to the woods, built up a pile of wood and, after lighting it, placed the muzzle cf a gun to his mouth and killed him- self. The fire smouldered out, but the dead body was found this morn- ing. Pequigout was unmarried and, with another brother, kept bachelor's home. It {s supposed he was tem: o- rarily deranged. The body was found by the brother. Re Ge experienced farmer has learned that some grains require far differ- ent soil than others; some crops need differ- enthandling than others, He knows that a great deal depends upon right planting at the right time, and that the soil must be kept enriched. No use of complaining in summer about a mis- take made in the spring. Decide before the seed is planted. Ce best time to reme- dy wasting conditions in the human body is be- fore the evil is too deep rooted.
