Woman Burned to Death.

Wheatland Eagle: A frightful scene
was enacted at the old Sch1unkey
place last week Wednesday, which
since has resulted fatally. Mr.. and
Mrs Chas. Steeke have been working
for VIM. Richie, and VIM. Friday
respectively near Embden for some
time. About o'clock in the morning
Of said day, Mrs. Steeke at Fridays
place, arose and lit the alcohol lamp
to warm some milk for her ten-days
old baby and in some manner q recep
tacle of alcohol bursted, spreading the
burning liquid over her person and
setting fire to her clothes. The poor
woman in q state Of renzy, ran from
room to room In agony, setting fire to
many things with which she came IN
contact. The occupants were soon
aroused and extinguished the DANES
but not before Mrs. Steeke was burn
ed badly. Great scabs Of burned skin
dropped from the unfortunate woman
as they removed the charred frag
ments from her person. ....
She was made as easy as possible
pending the arrival Of DR.. Salvage Of
Wheatland, who at once placed her un
der opiates. After narcotic effects
she appeared conscious, and while she
suffered intense pain, was so unit

DairyinR that Paya.

In series of institutes in the north
eastern counties of Pennsylvania l
found that farmers are specializing to
a much greater extent in that section
than in many other sections Of the
State, says L. w. Lightly in National
Stockman. Quite number Of dairy
men are putting in plants Of their own
for buttermaking and are devotlng
all their thought and energies along
that line. In number Of instances
they sent their sons to the State col.
lege to take short course and are put.
ting on the market first class butter.
In every instance of this kind 1 learn.
ed that the demand was greater than
the supply of butter at very good
price. The universal verdict of those
men was that, while dairying is hard
and slavish work because of the mi.
mute and constant attention that the
details Of the business require, it pays
a handsome profit.

Farming az n Science.

The farm offers many opportunities
for enterprise. There is plenty of room
for advancement, and every expert
ment made, no matter how small, en-
ables the farmer either to increase his
yields or avoid mistakes. 1t is in the
management Of the details that the
savings occur, and the keeping Of ac-
counts will enable the farmer to con-
duct his farm with better knowledge
Of his operations.

vouches for as perfectly satisfactory,

is preferable. With keyhole saw cut

or three slaves. After saving the door
nail strip across the slaves to hold
them together. The hinges are old
pieces OF leather tackled fast and may
be hung from the top. Make a cross
to hang over the barrel, and from the
hooks suspend the meat. When the
meat is in place throw blanket over

Agricultural A Briefs,

farm efforts.
Clean up; make the old farm look
new and start new methods, too.
Some farms carry lot Of worthless
dogs. Why not get rid of them and
keep a few sheep?
Hasty work is always at the cost of
excellence. Take time enough to do
everything well.
Gentleness with the COWS DAVIS
Cows that fear their owners are not as
profitable as they might be.
Two hundred and forty-nine of the
employees Of the Department of Agri-
culture are graduates Of agricultural
colleges.

about that good garden you've been
promising your wife. Make selections
and order seeds early.
In the zones" where sugar-beets
thrive and are produced with good
saccharine percentage many farmers
are making money on the crop.

Home Mixing of FertiIiz.r..

The editor Of this department is a
firm believer in the home mixing of
commercial fertilizers, but only when
one knows what his soil needs. II
potash and phosphoric acid only are
needed, there is assuredly no sense in
buying a lot of other ingredients, and
the same argument holds good on any
combination. On the other hand, if
one has had experience with the high
grade complete fertilizers and has
found them profitable to use it would
be folly to take up with the home mix
ing Of fertilizers, particularly in large
quantities There seems to be no need
Of argument in favor Of either plan
except as given, for 1t all depends upon
a knowledge Of soil and crop require
ment, and action accordingly.

Whent SCREENINGS.

The value Of wheat screenings is
best understood by taking some note
Of what experiment stations have done
with 1t. In the Montana experiment
station, where some comparative val
ues were ascertained, 1t was shown
that wheat screenings were the most
valuable for feeding to lambs, while
barley proved the most efficient for
wethers. One experiment, however,
does nor give conclusive proof of the
value Of any ration. Where corn is
produced 1t will be the universal grain
ration In fattening sheep and lambs.

EYES,.

"She hath two eyes so soft and brown"
For tender thought and glances true,
Commend me to the eyes of blue,
For heavens wide of sweet surprise,
Blue eyes! blue eyes!
For roguish snap and sharp attack
Commend me to the eyes Of black.
For fercest love where madness lies.
Black eyes! black eyes!
For grit to stand by what they say,
Commend me to the eyes of gray,
Their steadfast beam all change defies.
Gray eyes! gray eyes!
For eyes that smile, and eyes that frown,
Commend me to the eyes of brown
The best Of each their goods comprise
Devotion true within them lies
All rapture sweet beneath the skies,

Where Beet Cattle Grow.

There is widespread notion that
the Western and northwestern cattle
ranch States grow the bulk Of the beef
cattle Of the country, but it is a great
mistake. Montana, Wyoming, Idaho,
Washington, Utah, Nevada, Arizona
and New Mexico, containing over SOO,-
GOO square miles and great cattle
ranges, by the last census returns had
only 4,S6O509 head Of cattle. While
the single central agricultural State of
Iowa alone had $780,, $50 head, to say
nothing Of the other Central States so
rich in grain and cattle growing.
These Central States can grow and
maintain steer to every two acres
while these range States, for the most
part have twenty acres to the steer,
except on the rich alfalfa and irrigated
lands. On such lands single acre
will support a steer, so rich are the
alfalfa pastures.

time he tried the plan of watering
them twice daily; then the plan was
tried OF furnishing water three times
daily, during the winter, and a CON-
parison of results showed that it paid
well. The water given at morning
and night is nearly warm, and the
cows seem to enjoy it greatly during
the cold days. That given at noon
Is colder, but the chill is removed.

water cows in this manner, but If one

The ermOn on "The Ideal Young
Man" has been the talk Of the town all
OF this week. 1t was delivered by the
Rev. r. G. Waters in ST. Paul's Church
last Sunday evening before large
audience. He preached the truth as
never before. Here ae few of his
most pointed statements:
1.-THE ideal young man is wise in his
selection of wife He does not marry
for beauty alone; for when the milliner,
the hair dresser and the dress maker
get through with some women they
VIII deceive any man. He wants a
good hOusekeeper and a woman good
at making bread as well as drumming
the keys of a piano. / would like to
furnish the curriculum for some female
colleges. Instead of some of the sciences
they teach, 1 would have them study
stitchoiogr, mendology, a little boil
ology and coOkology.
Young men, don { marry slatternly /
woman You ask what that is? II
mean a woman who won't scrub her
window panes and keep down the cob
webs; who won't clean her teeth, nor
her finger nails; looks like 4
fright until sOmbody calls; brushes the
art under the bed when she sw eeps her .

bonnet and goes to her neighbors to
