IJZZIE ADERSON Detective Greer Can Find No Clue to Her Murder. Goderich despatch: At 9 o'clock to- night the body of little Lizzie Anderson, the victim of the mysterious murder committed here on the night of the 20th, was removed from Undertaker J. Bro- phey's establishment to the home of the parents at Saltford, a mile and a half distant. A service will be conduct- ed at the house to -morrow morning at 9 o'clock by llev. Mark Turnbull. At 9.30 the procession will start for the Dungannon Cemetery, ten miles away, where the remains of the murdered girl will be interred beside several brothers and sisters, to the majority of whom a hard fate also meted out violent death. Inspector Greer and the local police are still as active in the search for the perpetrator of the crime as they were the day the hunt started. But the Pro- vincial detective has seen one clue after another peter out under investigation, e.nd to -night finds himself as wholly baf- fled by the strange nature of the cir- cumstances as witen he arrived in God- erich to take up the case. The Italian who was first suspected has shown him- self to be innocent, the blood-stained rug in a livery rig which was returned to the barn on the morning following the dis- appearance of the girl has been folly ex- plained, and no suspicion whatever now attaches to the lawyer who brought the rig home. Frank Smith, who mysteriously dis- appeared on the day of the crime, is found to have left Goderich early in the evening and gone direct to Seaforth, where he worked three days for the Can- ada Furniture Company, and then drop- ped, out of sight again. Inspector Greer spent several hours to -day interviewing residents in the vicinity of the vacant house where the body was found, and looking into two new reports that Edward Jardine was seen with the girl at 9 o'clock on Tues- day night. The two women previously mentioned were absolutely sure that they heard the screams shortly after midnight. Coroner Holmes expressed the opin- ion to -day that the evidence submitted to the inquest by the Jardines was large- ly unreliable. Detective freer still holds the riew that local parties committed the crime. Outsiders. he said, would not find it necessary to kill to escape possible accn- sation, because they would not be known to the air'. This afternoon the inspector received the following note from Seaforth: "Hon- orable Finder, -1 don't want to go to jail myself. I tun the murderer of the Goderich crime. Please send some one to arrest enc. I live at 10 Wilson av- enue. (Signed) Patrick Lipton." The writing, which was very exude, was 011 a piece of ruled notepaper, ap- parently torn from an account book. It was picked up on the street at Seaforth and forwarded. Inspector Greer at- taches no importance to the note. The murder of Lizzie Anderson was re- enacted in theory by three doctors who visited the scene of the tragedy at 11 o'clock last night. The three were Doc- tors Macklin and (.:allow, of Goderich, and Dr. Gunn, of Clinton. Dr. Gunn was called in as a consulting surgeon, and the three began the post-mortem exam- ination of Lizzie Anderson's body at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. ° They dirt not conclude till 2 o'clock this morning. It was during the progress of the autop- sy and after the doctors had ascertained that the girl had been stunned by a blow on the head from a heavy fist or club, that a visit was pitid the Edward's place on the Internatiot'e] road. The condition of the brain was such as to suggest a blow from the knuckles of a fist. The doctors came to definite conclu- sions on several possibly important points. They believed that the girl was. attacked outside the house and carried unconscioths into the cellar, where her throat was cut. The murder was com- mitted while she was still dad, the blood stains being found on all four thick- nesses of her upper garments. The fact,. that a white undervest was not stained was explained this morning- when Detec- tive Greer ascertained that it had been used as a dress filler, The girl's clothes had all been cut from her with a knife, but the knife had in the meantime been cleaned. Whether or not the girl had been out- raged has not been determined, the bad state of preservation in which the body was fount] making the establishment of this fact almost impossible. Clairborne slt3's poultry manure is equait ferie eih.i of Peruvian guitnotilizer rotito if ttpropberlyst eartreleed for under cover is worth as much as I'acifie guano, whlt:lt is usually worth from $40 to $50 per ton, Professor Nor- ton says that 300 pounds of well kept hen manure are cello:] in value to 1'1 or 18 two -horse loads.of stable manure. ,Sci- ence in Farming says 100 pounds of fresh hen manure c'oitains 32.0 pounds of nitrogen, 30.8 pounds of phosphoric acid and 17 pounds of potash. That it pays to give cows on pasture supplementary food during the dry months of August and September has been demonstrated at the Kansas exper- imental station. Green corn, alfalfe, any of the sorghums can be more profitably used as soiling crops when pastures a:e short than any other way. Professor Otis states that the soiling crops fed to a Kansas dairy herd brought in one year an income of $18 per acre above the cost of the crop. Inthe western States ul- falfa is probably the best soiling crop. but in the great eorn-growing sections, where alfalfa does nut grow readily, nothing is better than the ordinary field or sweet corn. The Government estimates that rats alone do damage to drops, grains, food and other things to the amount of $100,- 000,000 a year. Dairymen will find that the most prac- tical age for teucrney or Jersey heifers to have the first calf is at about two years old. By following this practice they will develop into better cows and lose none of their size, if properly fed and ]honied from the second year on. It is possible for them to go to three years old before dropping their first calf, if the owner will take great pains to see that they are not over -fed, and that their foods are almost entirely of the protein order. In a great many cases the beefy three -year-olds are obtained by feeding them heartily and heavily, when they bave no use for their food, and therefore store it on their backs. In ordinary practice the greatest demand for milk products exists during the win- ter, and the herd should be bred to calve in the fall to meet that demand. The heifer should calve at that time. More milk is obtained by fall calving, and the expense of food and attention is less- ened. The secret of vigorous growth of or- namental trees lies in proper prepare-, tion of the soil before planting. Make the holes at least three feet across and of a like depth—you cannot make them too large nor too deep. Do not dump in it lot of manure or trash of any kind, but first put back the surface soil. and, if possible, fill in the hole with nothing but .surface soil from surrounding terri- tory, leaving the othti£' eon to be scat- tered where it may get aerated and en- riched. If necessary to use manure. let it be well rotted and most thoroughly mixed with the soil before putting it around the tree. The reason why there are so many pigs lost and so many small litters is that the breeding stock lacks constitu- tional vigor, by having descended from corn -fed stock. When the farmers of this country begin to feed their breeding stock on good blond and muscle -making feeds they will not have so notch cholera nor so few pigs. The old razor -back sow that raised 10 pigs at a. litter had a good constitution and very little fat on her ribs. weeks. will row along and puss them.

ARTIFICIAL INCUBATE'S:0 AND BROODING. (Canadian Poultry Review.) One of the national problems in the poultry business just. now is how to avoid the heavy Ins, in eggs between the producer ar,d the consumer. There can be no doubt but that if the con - summer can get egps under a week old that are from leets getting wholesome food and the oggs ore kept in cool, elean .room. nut what the c•onsumptine will increase. When one visits almost auy of the large dealers and sots the candles you are surprised at the poor quality of the eggs and their enc. We must, if possible, get the eggs to their final destination more rapidly then heretofore. There is now, as I nnder- stitnd if, about 'eventeen per cent. shrinkage on tae& events. This is tog, large.

The eggs are to be Glenn, and further. mast Ix' kept in a cool, dry place. Earl member is sup- plied with a stnarp itaril each egg is narked with indiv'clual s number, co that the dealer knows from where the gond or bad come, The eggs are gath- ered twice each week by the dealer and are tested before they are shipped. Should any poor, stale or bad eggs be found they are returned to the pro- ducer. The dealer. on his part, is pay- ing from four to five cents per dozen above what the farmers have been re- ceiving. This scheme should receive the encouragement of the fanciers, as it means that poultry on the farm will pay better, which in turn moans better stock, better care oft sed wall stirmlate the sale of strong, viggorinis breeder.
