Child Plays With Fire and Dies
Bartlesvile, Okla.—The 2-year-oH
daughter of Mrs. George Brink, wha
lives near Dewey, is dead from burns
received while the child played with
fire taken lrom the cook stove. After
starting a fire to get supper, Mrs.
Brink left the kitchen. When she re-
turned a few minutes late/ she found
the child's clothes in a blaze and the
child seriously burned. It died in a
few hours.

If you have no silo and cannot build
one this year then plant an acre or
more of beets or other roots for win-
ter green feed for the dairy cows.
Select a dairy breed of cattle whose
product and offspring will bring the
highest possible price in any market,
and you will surely be successful in
dairying.
Rape Is sometimes sown on corn
ground just preceding the last cultiva-
tion, and with timely rains the rape
will furnish a great deal of pasture
after the corn is harvested.
The farmer who has all the land he
can well tend to has no need of more
land. He would be much happier with
a reasonable amount of land, only
enough so that it can be well Im-
proved, fertilized and cultivated.
Some make a practise in setting out
an apple orchard to plant peach trees
between the rows of apple trees, al-
lowing the short-lived peach tree to
die before the apple tree matures.
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes or
Rhode Island Reds will grow into hens
at maturity that will weigh from six
to eight pounds when fattened for
market, bringing more than a dollar
each.
Horses comprise nearly 45 per cent,
of the total live stock value of the
country, their figures being $2,276,363,-
000, as compared with $5,138,480,000
for horses, milch cowb, cattle, swine,
sheep and mules.
In the selecting and buying of cat-

whether or not they are free from

The first thing is to have everything

rub these parts with grease of some
kind. Lard and carbolic acid is good.
Developing of new sections in sev-

for more extra dairy cows that all the
country can possibly furnish.
A mixed grain ration of corn and
oats, when fed with clover hay, is
more efficient than a Bingle grain ra-
tion of corn for producing large gains
in an 84-day feeding period.
Do not put more than 50 chicks
in one brooder, or one compartment,
and better results will bo secured with
a smaller number. Overcrowding Is
the cause of many deaths in the
brooder.,
Look well to a supply of autumn
bloomers by planting a bed or asters..
The aster has an almost endless va-
riety of colorings and blooms when
most other flowers are past their sea-
son of beauty.
Clover hay, when fed with a mlxfd
grain ration of corn and oats, Is more
efficient for producing gains than tim-
othy hay. In this test clover hay
produced 58 per cent, more gains than
timothy.
While box stalls are safer than sin-
gle stalls for stabling horses, they
are also more expensive and do not
offer merits not possessed by single
stalls so far as they may influence
the horse In taking on flesb.
It is not reasonable to expect strong
and healthy chicks from immature,
weak and unhealthy parents. Stand-
