The Farm Home.

The want of proper dividing line
between the farm home grounds and
the barnyards is the cause of much of
the lack of attractiveness about so
many farm homes. 1t is impossible
to invest hog yard of a feed lot or
the barnyard proper with any great
amount of landscape beauty. At the
best, about all one can do is to keep
the buildings in good repair and
painted and the yard as clean
as possible, and this essential
part of the farm equipment
should be entirely separated from the
home plot. 1t is, where possible, a
good arrangement to have the home
lot on one side of the public highway
and the barn yards on the other,
though not directly in front. Where
this cannot be done, four rod street
should be laid out between the house
and the barns. The house lot should
include the home, the wood shed, the
windmill, the garden, the orchard and
lawn, and from it should be excluded
pigs, chickens and stock of all kinds
TIL ehog lot should be located as far
to tn erear of the premises as possi-
Bile. There is very much to be done
in the way of beautifying our farm
homes and the very first step in the
process is to get them distinctly sep
arated from what may be termed
the business side of the farm work.
An attractive and well-kept country
home will add.-a value of from five
to ten dollars per acre to any farm
upon which it is situated. There is
great chance for improvement all
along this line.

We never object to man having
some sort of an agricultural hobby,
even if it never pans out to be of very
great value. A great many very valu-
able things have been given to the
world by reason of men riding hob
bies and working on fad notions at
which their neighbors poked lots of
fun. 1t is always good thing for
ran to have an idea of some sort
which stays right with him and which
deeply interests him and sets him
to thinking and investigating, for
even should he not find the thing he
seeks, he may find something else
of greater value.

A W0man'S
Ready Gun
MRS. BUCHOZ SURPRISED AND
FRIGHTENED OFF TWO MEN
WHO WE'RE TRYING TO LOOT
HER STORE. AND THE LOSS WAS
VERY SMALL.

Unusual nerve was that displayed by
Mrs. BuchoZ, who keeps a small notion
store on Ell Paso street, when her place
was visited by a couple of BURGERS last
night.
She opened fire on them and drove
them off. but it is not known whether
her aim was effective or not.
At about o'clock this morning Mrs.
Buchoz was awakened by the sounds of
some one moving around and rummag-
ing around at the front windows OF
her store. Selling a pistol she steal
thily gained more advantageous posi-
ton There in the dim light just out
side the front window on the sidewalk
she could discern the outline of the
forms of two men. One of them was
standing in such a position that he was
able To keep a watch up and down the
street and the other was bending for
ward reaching through an opening and
apparently removing such articles OF
merchandise as was in reach.
Without a moments hesitation Mrs.
Buchoz took rapid aim and fired. The
burglars were taken completely by sur
prise and for a moment were dunn
founded. They recoiled in amaZement
and the next instant. appearing to re-
cover themselves, beat a hasty retreat
and soon disappeared in the darkness.
The police were notified of the oc-
currence and furnished with the details

FOUNDRY HAND
BADLY INJURED
He Was Struck BY Flying Piece
Iron and Rendered Unconscious.

A workman in the Pass City foundry
was severely injured last evening at 5
o'clock by flying fragment of iron.
For a time it was believed that he had
received a death wound.
The accident occurred in vicinity of
the iron crusher. 1t is customary for
the men to take refuge behind piece
of boiler plate just as the heavy crush
er falls and breaks the large pieces OF
iron into framents, and scatters them
in all directions. sometimes with great
force.
T. Olguin was a green hand and had
been at work but a day. He was stand
ing near the crusher and a flying piece
of iron struck him in the head, injur-
ing him so bad that he was rendered
unconscious.
DR.. Turner attended to the wounded
man, and this morning he was pro-
nounced out of danger.

THE Jews instinct of assimilation
is so strong that his very nature and
character are nodded according to his
surroundings. Consider, for instance.
the cultured Jews of Russia. They
adopted western civilization and have
nevertheless retained the traits of the
Stay, in contradistinction to the leu
tons and Anglo-Saxons. They are of
the Turgeniff type. Had educational
institutions not been closed against
them for on cor two centuries longer.
there is no doubt that the greater por-
ton of the Russian Jews would have
been absorbed by the Aryans. The
reason for this is obvious. The Jew.
though often original, is an expert
imitator. Today the Gentiles will set
an example for him. tomorrow he will
surpass the originals. T. Adler in
