GRIT SAVED HIS LEG.
Ranehman Rode Far After Most serI.
Gus Injury.


Jack Farland, a ranchman living at
the base Of Pixies Peak, and whose
post office is Midland, in this county,
yesterday suffered a broken leg by
being caught between a horse which
he was riding and a timber wagon
which he was attempting to pass
while en- route to this city, says the
Cripple Creek Times. Farland dis
played the greatest Of pluck by riding
on to Victor after suffering the injury,
although he said upon arriving here
that he felt several times that he must
give up. Knowing. however, what
difficulty would attend any attempt to
dismount, and how well nigh impossi-
BILE 1t would be for him to remount in
the event that he succeeded in getting
safely off his horse, the ranchman
gritted his teeth and kept on. After
having his leg set by a surgeon of
this city, Farland collapsed and it
was late In the afternoon before he
was able to proceed homeward in a
carriage, the accident having hap
pened early in the morning.

Sheep Raiens in Australia.

The greatest industry Of Australia is
sheep raising, mainly for the sake of
the wool, but also in part, of course,
for the meat. Australia now ranks
second among the great sheep-raising
countries, Argentina being first with
go, OO0, 900 sheep, Australia second with
2 1000, 900, and Russia third with TO-
O00, 600. Only a few years ago Aus
tralia was first, possessing no less
than 106, 260, 900 head of sheep. That
was in 1891. Prolonged droughts were
the cause Of the destruction of many
millions of Australian sheep, but since
1902 there has been al annual gain.
Yet these sheep were not indigenous
to Australia. They were first intro.
duced in 1897, being of the Spanish
merino species.

INACCURATE SEED TESTING.
What the termination May and May
Not Show.

1t is not at all certain that seed
when sown in the open field will show
the same amount of digestibility as
when sown in seed testing boxes or
between plates in the house and un-
der ideal conditions of warmth and
moisture. A great many experiments
have been made to show what the
terminating cover of various seeds is,
and it has been figured out that the
results would be the same in the field
as in the seed testers. 1t is inter-
esting, therefore, to note that a com
parison of results do not show the
same percentage of seed terminating
under the two conditions.
In some comparative tests reported
81 samples of seed of oats and wheat
were tested in regular seed testers.
The lowest termination was 40 per
cent. and the highest SO per cent, A
like number of samples of the same
seed were planted In the open ground
at the same time, the samples being
the same grain as those planted in
the testers. One of the oat samples
that had shown a termination of "a
per cent. when planted in the tester
gave only "a per cent. of termination
when planted in the open field. An
other lot gave in the tester a germi-
nation of 81 per cent, yet when sown
in the open field it gave only 10 per
cent. This was a most remarkable de-
cline.
One of the samples of wheat seed
gave GO per cent. of termination when
sown in the seed tester, but wheE
sown in the field gave only s per cent.
of termination. The poorest sample
for field work gave 81 per cent. of ger
mination when sown in the seed test
er, but in the field gave only 4 per
cent. of termination. This illustrates
the fact that something besides ger
mination tests need be looked for
when figuring on what seed will do.
Conditions in the field are much hard
er than in a terminating plate.
An investigation of this seed show
ed that it had been produced under
bad conditions and probably lacked
vitality. 1t had been injuriously af-
fected by early fall frosts. Most of
1t had enough vitality to enable it
to sprout under the perfectly favor.
able conditions found in a sprouting
tray, but had not enough vitality to
enable it to sprout when buried in the
ground where the moisture supply
would be too great or too little, the
temperature too high or too low, and
where the air would not have free
access to the grain.
The termination tests may still be
considered valuable, says Farmers
Review, but they are by no means
conclusive, so long as they are con-
Quoted under ideal conditions. 1t is
only rare that conditions in the open
ground are ideal for the termination
of seed.

DisIiked the Word "Death."

"Decease" is now a regular form of
word for death. But it began as a gen.
tie euphemism, ~"decessus" (departure)
seeming much less harsh to the Ro-
mans than "mors." All languages
abound in euphemisms of the kind,
which go back to a srperstitious re-
luctance to mention death plainly,
that gradually passed into a kindly
desire to soften the idea. Passed
away" departed" gone" expire
(breathe out), mo MORE" demise"
and even "the late" are expressions of
this nature. Most striking of all is the
Roman euphemism for "he is dead
"vixit," he has lived.

Plo Likes Comfort.

No domesticated animal loves com
fort more than the pig. Cold winds
and storms are damaging, and cost a
good deal Of feed. Call out a lot Of
pigs from comfortable shelter, and
throw them some corn on the ear, and
see how quickly they will carry it to
the shelter to eat. 1t pays well to
provide shelter from heavy winds
and extreme cold, though fresh air
and dry beds to sleep in are a neces-
sity If pigs are to thrive and grow fat.
Shelter need not be costly; in fact
there is a great deal of money wasted
in putting up expensive buildings, but
1t should be warm and at the same
time well ventilated.

The largest single ad ever placed
bv a Pendleton concern appears in

Needless to say the concern that
considers advertising and giving such
thorough publicity-exploiting its
bargains and dependable character of
its merchandise, must in measure
see good returns for the money ex-
pended Yet this one house thor
oughly believes in cooperating with
the newspaper in seeing that each
article advertised is prominently dis
played with a price ticket on 1t where
the customer may leisurely and un-
| molested examine its merits or worth
How frequently do we hear of
merchants who after spending large
amounts in advertising, fail to make
good, by not displaying the very mer-
chandise offered-and how discour-
| aging 1t is to a customer who, after
reading Of some wonderful bargains.
upon inquiry at the store (failing to
see 1t ont on the counter) is dunn
founded to find the clerks know
nothing of such bargain or It may
he resurrccted from beneath a
counter.
Such merchants generally con-
si1er advertising as money thrown
away--and 1t is. Unless the mer-
chant meets his advertising medium
full and good, lie had much better
save his money.
It's not newspaper advertising
alone that builds business, its right
methods sincere advertising, careful
