the second assailant. but after a brief
Resistance she succumbed.
The boy was assaulted and pounded
over the head with blunt instrument,
supposed to have been the butt end of
q revolver, until he sank limp and help
less in the dust of the roadway. His
skull was broken in three places. The
| fatal wound seemed to have been dealt
him on the back of the head. where q
section of the skull large enough to adj
init three or four fingers together was
crushed inward. The murderer was not
sure, however, that this would suffice
to place him beyond hope of recovery,
and two similar fractures We're in
licted, one either side of the head in
the vicinity of the temples. The right
collar bone was broken, his right jaw
crushed and his breast and shoulders
cruelty beaten, apparently after he had
been rendered unconscious.
The girls head was so crushed that
when an attempt was made to raise the
body the fingers of the man who
grasped her head entered the brain and
large section was lifted out.
The immediate area of the struggle
suggested that the murderers had Lain
in wait and bounced suddenly upon the
children as they were walking home
ward or stealthily trailed them from a
point between the church and the the
alter of the tragedy. The murder COM
pleted and the atrocious infection of
dishonor stamped upon the girl. the
men upon whose hands is the blood of
the two children, threw the body of
Thomas into q shallow ditch at the
north side of the road and pitched the
body of the murdered girl into a ravine
three feet deep on the south side, nearly
opposite, where thye We're discovered
half hour afterward by Ralph Beck and
Miss Naomi Speer, who We're return
ing from a visit to friends at Bondur-
ant.

In the prairie regions of the west the
limited area of timber land along the
rivers and creeks was counted by the
early settlers as very desirable proper
ty. Oftentimes spectators appropri-
ated these tracts, and then the specus
lators' forty became anything but a
means of grace to that community.
We know well of one locality where it
was utterly impossible for the parsons
IF any denomination to maintain a
church or even get up a revival Of re-
ligion until the last stick of timber on
these SPECTATORS lands had been
stolen. After this timber was all dis
posed of times changed, church was
built, and today it is law abiding and
God fearing community.

plant is not a gross feeder, this soil

The crop has to be planted rather
late. after all danger of frost is over,
and it then requires the whole season
TO mature. The digging begins the
last thing when frost is considered i'm
minent An average yield under fair
culture is fifty bushels of pods to the
acre. These bring the grower from so

MISUNDERSTANDING and Hand Labor.
One of the pleasantest and most sat
lsfactory crops in the world for some
men is the peanut crop. It is not hard
to grow, 1t is easy on the soil and, one
time with another, it yields a good
cash return. The drawback to peanut
growing is that it requires a good deal
of tedious hand labor OF course the
crop pays handsomely for the work,
but in the southern and western states,
where peanuts are grown, hand labor
on the farm is heartily despised The
rullSy plow and the self binder furnish
the ideal means Of crop production

best for the crop, and though the

the rest where it is still impressed. All
seams in tailored garments gain their
particular beauty by the careful press
ing, and the folded wet cloth is the
best way for doing it.
Most dressmakers finish the skirts
with the opening at the back and close
the placket with snap buttons, but il is
really better to close them at the left
side and have a small and neat flap to
button. Still, that is a matter OF per-
sonal preference A really handsome
tailor suit is made quite long and
touches the ground all around and of
ten drags at the back The walking
suits are, however, still made to reach
the instep only.

The grove of pines on the farm has
a twofold mission - it stands as the
best windbreak to be had, sturdy, re-
sistive then there are its odorous
tonic, healing breath and the diapason
of the strong south wind as it roars
through the massive tops of the trees.
All animal and bird life instinctively
seeks it for shelter, the crows come to
it to roost, the mourning dove to build
its nest, and the quail finds a snug shell
ter under the dropping branches as the
snow Sits down upon the grove in the
winter.

Winter pasture is a queer sounding
title to men who live where winter
runs from November to March, and
still such pastures, even in such lati-
tudes, may be very useful They are
made by taking the stock from the
blue grass pasture not later than the
middle Of June and allowing the grass
to grow untouched until winter. Given
a winter with but little snow and such
pasture will be much relished by all
young stock and horses particularly,
and then such treatment of the pasture
greatly strengthens the root system Of
the grass and insures a better growth
the following year. The plan is well
worth trying wherever a part of the
nasture can be spared for this purpose.
DOLLAR AND A HALF PER HEN.
A bright woman at a recent farm in
stitute made the statement that she
kept the large number of $50 Brown
Leghorn fowls on the farm home
stead running at large; that these fowls
averaged her an annual income Of
$150 each, mostly derived from eggs.
Cross questioned pretty closely, the
lady said that she had never been
bothered with any poultry diseases;
that the hens gave her as good a pro
rata return when the number was $50
as when the number was only 100.
This story tends to upset the generally
accepted theory that 100 hens are about
the limit which can be probably kept
upon farm homestead. The lady add
ed that these fowls went everywhere
and that it was useless to attempt to
have garden or even small fruit
where they We're so kept.
