r Mule Saved Him.

Adolphus Wilson, of Nicholas
vile, who was in a railroad
wreck in Indiana, attributes the
saving Of his life to the action of
a mule. He says: when /
came to my senses a huge timber
was lying across my back, which
/ could not move. In glancing
around, looking for help, I dis
covered a mule standing within
few feet of where / was pinioned
looking at me as if wishing to-
render me assistance. Soon the
mule turned it's heels toward me
and began to kick. The first
lick struck the timber a glancing
lick; the second hit it full, and
just grazed my ear, which now
shows the mark, as you can see,
and somewhat moved the timber.
The third kick raised it sufficient
ly for me to slide from under,
and as arose from the ground,
and started to make my way to a
farm house, the mule followed,
evidently satisfied with the good
work accomplished"

Grit in Summer.

AS the daily foraging!.of fowls enables
them to pick up an enormous amount of
grit every day, the grit may he scarce
even in Summer, unless on very stony
land. Sand is not a substitute for grit.
Coarsely ground bone is excellent as
grit and serves a double purpose. A
few pounds of ground flint, which is
sold by those who supply poultrymen,
cost but a trife, and should be used
once week.
When Indigestion OCCURS, it may be
due to the lack of sharp material for
cutting the food. Gravel does not al
ways answer the purpose, as the gravel
may be round and not assist in cutting
the grain or other food. l have had eX-
cellent results by pounding pieces of
glass and giving the hens all that they
will pick up. They will accept it readily
and it will not injure them in the least
if not too coarse Glass is given reg
ularly by ,poultrymen who cannot easily
obtain other substances as grit.

The farmer should remember
that the stomach of a horse is
small and hence should be care
full to see that his animals have
frequent drinks of good pure
water during the day. This is
especially needful during the
summer when the days are hot
and dry. 1t is no easier for the
horse to go without a drink from
morning until noon and from noon
till night than it is for man,
but We find many careless farm
ers compelling them to. 1t is not
humane treatment and the horse
is too faithful a servant to be de-
MED such a small favor. .-EX.

Low Headed Trees.

The old style orchard was Of
ten high headed, with the limbs
we'll up out of the way. The
idea was to train the trees so
high that teams could be driven
under and to keep the limbs
above the reach of cattle. Now
that these items are of less i'm
portance to most orchardists, the
tendency is in the opposite direc-
ton, until ]. H. Hale asks peril
nently: whats the use of a
trunk any way?" 1t may be
said in favor of the low down
tree that the fruit may be picked
at considerably less cost and is
not so likely to be blown off by
the wind. Spraying is also less
difficult. 1t is in many ways the
better tree for those who do not
cultivate directly under large
trees and who keep cattle away
from the orchard. In a row of
the Summer apples the trees
were cut back much shorter than
in many orchards; consequently
the limbs are sturdy enough to
hold the fruit without bending.
These trees averaged about four
cases to the tree. The trees
branch out about eight or ten
inches from the ground. Far

1t is natural for parents to feel

At least most of them do. Let a
little tot about four years old
strike the simple tune of some
old familiar song, and the first
thing that daWns in the head of
the proud mother is that Johnnie
OF Mary or Susan, will develop
into musician that will some
day astound the people of ev-
cry continent in the whole world.
Then it is that the music teacher
is sought and the wonderful ac-
complishments of the little prod
ICY are told in emphatic and eX-
cited tones. The teacher agrees
that it is perfectly wonderful. "
When daddy comes home to his
dinner he is cornered in the fam
lily room and told what Mrs.
Jones, the teacher, had to say
about the little 'morking bird. "
Very likely he will insist that it
will be best to wait awhile, but
this is in vain.- So the little

this title signifies what may be
expected. Many of the shows
were conducted by Mr.. Heck on
the Pike during the big St. Louis
Worlds Fair and will be repro
duced here just as they were
given there. All of them were
clean and moral in every partic-
ular. They include an excellent
animal show, japanese theater,
theaters with moving pictures,
etc., a dog and pony show, a Per-
sian theater and many other SIM
liar attractions.
The effort which the manage
ment of the fair has made to OBJ
tain the cheapest possible rail-
road rates has been rewarded.
Secretary Balm has received a
letter from Joseph Richardson of
Atlanta, Ga, secretary of the
Southeastern Passenger Associ-
alton, stating that the railroads
will make a rate of one fare plus
rs cents for the round trip from
all points in the State to Lexing-
ton during fair week. This rate
is virtually a one fare rate and is
much more reasonable than the
railroads are in the habit of CIV
ing for similar entertainments,
There will beyond doubt be a re-
markably large attendance dur
ing the. week of the fair, and it
will come from every section of
Kentucky.

, One of the common troubles in
hog raising in the corn belt is
that of breaking down. Weak
legs are due to improper feeding.
The pigs will do pretty we'll
while with the sow provided
they do not get too much corn,
and they will develop very well
on good pasture, but when con-
fined to corn diet they can't de-
velop good strong bone. Milk
and grass contain bone-making
material, but corn does not.
Bone meal, soft coal, wood ashes
alfalfa hay or grasses, and such
feeds as contain plenty of bone
building elements, will balance
the corn diet. Go easy on corn
except when putting on the fin
ishing touches of market hogs.
Just because it is an easy feed to
throw out does not make it a
proper feed.
Turn your hogs and pigs out
on a good pasture and keep them
on grass till Fall. Don't feed
swill. They will spend too much
time squealing at the gate.
Give them good water.
Those hogs will look large
boned and gaunt all Summer.
You may be ahsamed to show
them to any body, but stick to
grass and water. In the Fall
when corn is fit, feed it; or bet
ter still, start them on old corn
gradually and then watch these
slab sided porkers fill in the
chinks. There is no sense in
feeding corn if you have pasture.

Alfalfa.

With four years of experience
in raising alfalfa, | feel that l
might give some a little advice.
have at present three differ
ent patches, one four years
old, one two, and one that has
been sowed a little over a year.
The first thing to do is to select
land that is suitable for it, and
for the best results you must have
good land-the best land you
have on your place. All my al
falfa is in river bottom land where
the soil is sandy and very rich.
In breaking your land you want
to plow as deep as possible and
let the seed bed be like a perfect
garden. | always sow about the
Is of April, and never later than
May, because the weeds are liza
BILE to get ahead of the young
plants. The plowing should be
done long enough before sowing
to allow the soil to settle some
what, and the land should be
clear of weed seed. If the land
is foul it will pay to wait a year
before sowing-until it can be
freed from the weeds. I SOW
from Is to 16 lbs. per acre, but
this depends on your land and
the use you are going to make of
it, for pasture or hay. The first
year you will have to NOW the
weeds off three or four times
and leave the vegetation on the
ground, if the weather is very
hot and dry. The next spring
rake up and haul off and give the
ground a thorough narrowing.
Last year cut five crops off the
four year old patch and each time
it made two or three tons per
acre. | have already moved the
same patch twice this year, and
it is ready to be moved again,
and it is a great deal better than
last year. l will make a fourth
more off the same ground and
from what | have learned it gets
better every year. <
l have moved my two year old
patch twice and I expect to NOW
it once more, or prehaps twice
The Adair County news., 1905-08-09

more. In cutting it for different
stock you cut it at different times.
For feeding cattle you should cut
while in bloom, but for horses it
should stand until the seed pods
are fairly developed; it can be fed
to all kinds of stock. Hogs will
get fat on it with a small amount
of corn, and cattle will get fat
on it without a single ear of
corn; but they soould be shelter
ed in cold weather. 1t is the
best feed | can get for my horses.
but | also feed some oats and
corn with it, and the horse will
eat the alfalfa hay in preference
to oats or other kinds of hay.
But like anything else you have
work to keep the weeds out the
first year, but after the first year
you make your hay. 1t has been
shown that it can be grown in the
penerile district successfully and
will pay more than ony other
grass that can be soWn, so let us
follow the footsteps of the west
ern farmer and make alfalfa pay,
and if any one wants to know
more about it, write, and | will
tell them all know,

Apple PROSPECTS.

The following resume of the ap-
pie prospect by l.. A. Goodman,
. Secretary of the Missouri State
Horticultural Society, will be of
interest to fruit growers. This
report is dated July IS:
After the unprecedented cold
of the winter, and the cold East
rains of April Is to 20, we could
hardly expect a full crop of ap-
Piles. While the orchards were in
good condition, land are still in
fine shape blooming beautifully
yet injured vitality of the trees
and the failure of the bloom to
we'll pollenize, cansed the young
apples to drop all through the
months of May and June until
the prospects for a. crop is not
good. In some places the fungus
damages have been severe and
the insect pests have been abun-
dant.
The prospect, therefore, for a
crop be:
In the Ozarks, 25 to 35 per
cent.
In Central Missouri, 20 to 80
per cent.
In North Missouri, Is to 25 per
cent.
While this is true we have spe-
cial locations where the crop will
be so or 60 per cent, and even
the small average that the State
makes, means because Of the
large number of orchards, a good
many parrels of marketable ap-
piles for sale at picking time.
The prospect, so far as heard
from, shows less than a half a
crop in New York, a little more
than a half a crop in Michigan,
a still larger percentage in the
new Western and Pacific States.
this justifies us in saying that
the prices will be fairly good and
that it will pay us to take care
of our apples.
Grapes will be an abundant
crop.
Peaches, Of course, are a fail
ure.
Pears a very light crop.
Plums a very good crop.

in educating and grooming a

The Adair County news., 1905-08-09

Beware of the statement "Selling
below cost" The vital question to the
customer is what it costs him, not
what you lose. He knows you are not
in the business for fun, and if you are
continually admitting that you are SELL
ing below cost, he is likely to conclude
that either you do not know your busi-
ness well enough to buy right, or that
you are deceiving him. In either case
his confidence in you is shaken. Better
say 1--WE bought them right, you get
the benefit. -Salesmanship.
