She Liked The Boys.

A beautiful little girl, seven years
of age, caused considerable amuse-
ment in her household few days ago.
She had told her relatives that she
wanted to have a party on her birth
day, which was drawing near. Her
parents one evening endeavOred to
discover what sort of party she pro-
posed to have, and whom she wanted
to invite, as they promised that only
those she liked would be included as
her guests. Her parents took down
the names as she mentioned them.
1t took only few minutes to get
about fifty boys, as the little girl
seemed to be OH friendly terms with
all of them. However, when the
names of the girls were being selected,
she had some grievances against
every one. After trying i'll vain to get
sufficient number of girls to suit the
little lady's notion, her parents were
in despair and the birthday party was
abandoned. Rather than yield an
inch the little Miss submitted without
a murmur.-COurier-Jo Journal.

Fire at MOrehead.

The Central Hotel, j. d. Phipps
& Bros grocery and saloon and j. M.
Carry's store, all at Morehead, were
destroyed by fire Wednesday morn
ing. The loss is $4,000, with insur-
ance of only $1,000.
AS nearly all the buildings in More
head are frame structures the entire
town seemed doomed at one time but
strong wind sprang up from the
right direction which saved many
buildings. When the excitement sub
sided it was discovered that VIII CAL
lon, editor of the Loader, was on top
of the Leader building overcome by
heat. He was let down in a wet
blanket and given needed attention SO
that he soon revived.

Low Prices Restrict Tree Plant
inq.

The extension of young orchards on
the Pacific coast has received set
back and tree planting has fallen of
to considerable extent. While there
will be some increase in the orchard
area of Arizona, Oregan and Wash
ington comparatively little in the way
of new planting will be done in Cali
fornia. This is largely due to the de-
pressed condition of the fruit market
in the past two years aad the ruinous-
ly low prices of dried fruit at present.
The principal paintings this season
are in olives and lemons and both
these lines have received strong i'm
petus in the past two years. Lemon
lands are limited In area and it will
not take long to cover all which are
suitable throughout the State. But
the olive has q much wider habitat,
and at present both are promising
money crops. The advance in the
price of wines has also given strong
impetus to vine planting and many
of the sections in which the vineyards
were ruined by the devastations of
the phylloxera are being replanted
this season with resistant stock

over 500 Pounds OF Butter per

My cows averaged 275 pounds OF
butter each in the year 1891, the next
year $50 pounds, in 1913 made 397
pounds, and last year averaged 521
pounds Of butter per head for nine
cows. My dairy was begun in 1884
with 4-blood Jersey COW bred to a
thoroughbred bull, aud / raised the
heifers until '9l. That year 1 began
feeding part of the milk back to the
cows, with small grain ration, and
sowed corn in it's season. This worked
80 well that the next year fed all the
milk back to the cows except in June,
when no grain or milk was fed, and
the grain ration was increased over
the previous year and the fodder was
from corn planted in hills instead of
sowed. In 1893 the feed was the same,
through June and all but grain was
increased. The first three years some
of the stock were heifers; the fourth
year, sold the young cows, and bought
the best cows 1 could get, increasing
my dairy to nine cows. The grain
ration was again Increased. In the
fore part of the season, when the feed
in the pasture was good, the cows
were yarded at noon, kept until milk milk
ing time, fed, and then allowed to feed
about an hour, and then put in the
yard until morning. Unless / did
this, the cows would not eat the large
ration of milk and grain; the green
feed was the same as the year before.
The grain was corn meal, linseed meal
and wheat bran. / do not give the
weight of ration, for it varied accor-
ding to time of year, but it was a
liberal one &c. III. Cornish in Amer

Bildad's SleiQh-Ride.

There once lived in Vermont a
man who was not much more than
half-witted, but, who, like many other
people who are lacking in intelligence,
always wanted to do just as other and
more gifted people do, In the town
where he ran his ambitious career,
Bildad's sleigh-ride is still a synonym
for an enterprise that depends largely
on the resources of others.
One winter when the slcighing was
good, and all the young SWANS of the
town were taking their young lady
friends to ride Bildad was impressed
with the desirability of organizing an
expedition of this sortion his own &C.
count. But he had no "rig,' and no
money to hire one with.
Nevertheless he came one afternoon
to worthy young lady of his neigh
borhood and asked her to 60 sleigh
riding that evening
"But Bildad!" she said; "you
haven't got any horse"
John Miles, he's promised to lend
me his'n."
"Why, John hasn't got any har-
ness"
"Pete Corliss's goin' to let me take
his'n."
"What are you going to do for a
sleigh ?"
"Mrs. Beals, she said 1 could take
her'n."
"You can't go Sleighing without
string of BELLS"
"Nathan Pages goin' to let me take
his string"
"Yop've got to have buffalo
robe"
"John Currier, he said he'd jest as
liv I'd have his old one, and by
CORY l can cut whip myself"
The young lady said under the cir
she guessed he would
have to borrow another girl. Never
theless he persisted in his search for
partner until he actually found one,
and went on the sleigh-ride in fine
style.
Some years after this occurrence
Bildad came late to an engagement
% do job of work, and was
asked the reason for his tar
illness.
"Huh!' he answered with smirk
