Gun Play Wins Poker Game.
"He overplayed his hand"

LIZ oFo1 pay GU LIS uduu.
This is the inscription on a grave
stone in local cemetery, and it re-
calls a poker game in which the late
Charles Folk once played. Folk
was a remarkable man and partici-
pated in games of various sorts dur
ing his eventful career. He did the
playing. The other fellow general
ly was spectator. Several months
ago he entered sitting with several
men from Indian Territory. They
played well, but were as novices with
Folk. He kept on winning hand
after hand until finally one of his
opponents grew suspicious and, fol-
lowing show of four kings, de-
manded a count of the cards. Un-
fortunately for Folk, it showed fifty
four cards. There was some gun
play, and Folk was buried soon aft

These Unpleasant Truths.

Senor Enrique Creel, the new
Mexican ambassador, said at a din.

pleasant truths:

They are always unnecessary, and

Considerable Difference,

The young man had gone te
Greenby for the summer for the
purpose Of securing piano pupils
When at last he gave a recital" in
the town hall he sent tickets to the
Greenby Clarion, the editor Of which
promised him a good notice. =" ;..'
At the close of the recital the edi-
tor sought the musician and said
cordially: " orb & 49, ;"
@ssuch an exhibition as you've Civ
en- is enough to whet the ambition
Of all our young folks, and I shall
say SO in my notice"
The musician thanked him; but,
owing to slight mistake on the
part Of the typesetter, he found it
hard to be as grateful the next day
when he read:
"Such an exhibition as this Young
man who has come among us gave
this afternoon was enough to wet
the ambition of every boy and girl
in town. youths Companion.

Garden Windhreaks.

The garden plat for early vegetables
needs slight southern exposure and
protection from north and west winds.
site selected Just south of a grove
or buildings, says Iowa Homestead.
Where such protection cannot be had
the farmer can grow in three years a
sufficient willow hedge. In these days
OF high priced lumber 1t is perhaps a
practical suggestion to say build high
board fence.
The windbreak, once its advantages
are noticed, will not be readily aban-
doned. Its value in securing early ma
turity is considerable.

elusive, 127 patents were taken out in
this country alone for milking ma
chimes or separate parts Of them.
Most of these have failed in some re-
spect and not until recently has any
one of them gone into extended use
The prospect of their general intro
duction led to the experiments de-
scr1bed in this report. Two different
types of machines are shown in the
illustrations, one worked by foot pow
er, the other by an electric or other
motor. The report shows that the
machines have the advantage in more
than one respect over hand milking.
Says Mr.. Lane:
Naturally one of the first questions
asked when dairyman is considering
the installation of milking machines is,
How much time will be saved by their
use? A glance at the general averages
for thirty days shows that the average
time required for one man to milk four
cows with the machine was 1902 mill
utes in the morning and 1857 minutes
in the evening, or total of 26.59 min
utes for the day In case of the four
cows MIXED by hand it will be noted
that it took an average of PISS min
uteS to milk them in the morning and
1871 minutes in the evening, or a total
Of 1859 minutes for the day. There
was thus daily saving of 3.5 minutes
per COW, or IA minutes ON four cows,
through the use of the machines. 1t
should be noted, however, that the
time saved by the employment of ma
chimes was not the result of greater
speed in milking, but in the operators

Feeding the Calf.

Remember the calf stomach is a
small affair and must be fed in pro-
portion to its capacity. The practice
of watering the milk for the calf is
bad. Feed the milk by itself and let
the calf do its own watering. 1t knows
its needs in that line better than you do.

Sowing Sorghum Seed.

As a general rule. sorghum should
be sown later than corn. In the CEN
tral part Of the country, or the great
corn belt, seeding will mostly be done
by May 25, and two cuttings are some
times secured in favorable seasons.
Sowing may be continued during May
or. for a catch crop, well through
June.

FORAKER INEFFECTIVE.


AS was expected, Senator Foraker
went for Secretary Taft with gloves
of. He called upon the secretary to
answer various questions before de-

He demanded to know of the sec

millions of black people in the south.
Such utterances will get but lit
tie sympathy. If ne would make
a fight a@o'r.t Taft and the admin
istration h. hould strike a strong
