Good luck Ia the gaycxi of all gay

Back from your brow she strokes the

Kisses you quick and flles away.
But Madame Bad Luck soberiy comes
And stays-no fancy has she for

snatches OF true.love songs she nuns.
And sits by your bed. and brings
her knitting.

INDIGESTION IN SWINE.

One of the symptoms Of indiges-
tion In swine Ii their great desire TO
eat dirt. particularly II Il be found
In rather dry Jumps. The way the
average hog Is fed Is enough TO make
1t q chronic dyspeptic, and there Is
little use In giving medicine to hog
that is suffering from indigestion. Be-
gin at the root OF the trouble and
furnish variety In the food. See that
there Is some green matter In the
shape OF vegetables fed daily; In the
season when II can be reached give
the swine some old sod TO gnaw ut.
Put considerable salt in the food; the
eating of the dry dirt Is an indication
OF the craving for salt. Try some
dried blood meal In the slop and also
mix lime water with the slop from
time to time. A fair amount OF va
riety. coupled with considerable
green food, will do more to keep tho
digestive organs In good condition
than anything else.-lndianapolS

Telephone Facts.

Con siderable comment has been
heard the past week in regard to the
Big Bend Rural Telephone line to
Lamar being out of order nearly two
days, and also about the service in
general between the two centrals,
and believe this calls for an ex-
planation. As to the line being out
of order, will say that this WAS oc-
casioned by break somewhere upon
the Bell line. The rural lineman
notified the Lamar office Tuesday
and it was repaired Wednesday. In
the meantime the Bell agents were
oanvsssing among the Rural SUBJ
scribers, calling their attention to
the inferior service to Lamar and
Offering to accept their Big Bend
stock and telephones in exchange
for service.
Less than three years ago H. T.
Vaille, the Bell construction agent
begged the farmers to sign the ex-
isting contract, assuring them that
his company was willing that they
should exist, and that his company
"did not want to restrict them in
any"
Nearly two years ago the rural
company offered to build and main
tain second trunk line to the city
limits, but the Bell company insist
cd upon an income of ten dollars
Per month for connecting, showing
plainly that they are not satisfied
with anything that does not help to
ELL their Golfers, and recently had
their agents at work Cleaning up
the trouble they had heard conf
planned Of among their subscribers,
in getting communication with the
people on the North side"
True, the Bell company cannot be
compelled to connect with another
line, and the rural company hs,
agreed, mot to build or operate any
exchanges in Lamar, Las Animas o.
La Junta or connect with other sys

ems at those places before April l,

TENS at those places before April l,
1908"
But, presumably through an oyer
sight on the pant of the Bell, judg
ing from their many sharp warnings
to the contrary, the rural company
is still at liberty, with the consent
of the city council, to install one or
more telephones in the city of La
mar, to facilitate communication
with the North side, providing no
exchange is permitted between any
two telephones within the city limits,
and this the rural company is pre-
pared to do in the near future.
The rural company has never
aspired after conquests and has pos
itively declined requests to install
telephones under the Amity, and has
but three over the river, two at the
Lamar sugar factory and one at the
Prowers store, which also has the Bell /;
but they do not propose to sit idly
by and allow the requests for better
service to 60 unheeded.

What T. G. Henry SAYS About DRY
Farming.

What 7. G. henrv Says About DRY
Farming.
"It is true that larger crops have
been raised by means of what is
known as the dry farming or Camp
bell system, but it must be remem-
bered that they were raised at an
extra expense. Dry farming un-
questionably will raise better crops
than by ordinary tillage, but it will
be at much increased ratio Of ex.
pense.
81 farmed in Kansas too long not
to know what that state can do.
When 1 raised my big wheat crops
in the middle of the 70s it looked as
if it could always be done; but there
came q whole decade when we had
only about half enough rain, and
stirring the ground every day would
not have made it moist. I have
seen many field in Colorado and
western Kansas where the ground
was so dry that seed did not sprout
for months. How could one con-
serve moisture when no rain fell
An old fashioned dry year will tell
the story.
"The dry farming discussion and
advocacy dees do this, however: 1t
induces better farming and more
careful tillsge. On the high plains
region there has been much slip
shod farming, putting in seed with
out plowing and trusting to luck and
weather. The preaching of the dry
farming advocates is deep blowing
