OIL CAN EXPLODES
BURNS WOMAN AND CHILD

Last Monday morning at about
500 o'clock, the mining camps Of
Parsons, in this county, was the
scene of one of the most terrible
accidents which has ever occurred
in this region. Mrs. William Pro-
theroc and her child three years
old, were burned to death in their
home, which was destroyed with all
OF its contents, by the explosion of
an oil can.
From all reports, tt seems that
Mrs. Protheroc must have been
starting a fire in the cook stove
with oil, using a five gallon a for
the purpose, when the oil ignited,
probably from some fire which re-
manned in the stove and exploded
with terrific force.
Mrs. Long and her daughter
heard the explosion, and seeing
the house in flames, tried to get to
Mrs. Protheroc and help her, find
ing this impossible, they at once
called the men from the mill, but
they were powerless to do anything
as the house was a mass of flame
when they reached it.
A letter from Parsons states
that the stove was blown complete
ly to pieces and the remains of the
oil can also gave evidence of the
terrible force of thesexplosion.
Mrs. Protheroc was al years
old, a native of Pennsylvania, and
leaves brothers and sisters in that
state, besides her husband, who is
a machinist in the employ of the
Eagle Mining and Development
Company, to mourn her sad death.

Lee County Shipments.

Orange shipments from here have
been very light for the past four
weeks, only 1904 boxes going out in
that time, and of these, 1868 boxes
were sent by express. This, added
to the S6,222 boxes previously report
ed, brings the total shipments to date
to o4,526 boxes. Most of the fruit
now held on the trees is grapefruit
and late varieties of oranges, and will
not be shipped for a month yet. Dur
ing the month of December about
twelve thousand crates of vegetables
from the coast landings were ship
ped through here by express.-Fort

A Bad Habit.

A good many farmers nave formed
the habit of keeping money II the
house. In one way or another the
fact becomes known, IS talked about
at the corner store, and the tough
characters of the ne'ghborhood even
tually hear of it. Perhaps the result
is an unpleasant interview in the night,
which NAV lead to murder. Banks
seldom fail; why should you lose your
life defending a little cash?

A Crippled Farmers Success.

A regular contributor to Home and
Farm, in his last letter, tells story
which is so remarkable that we copy
it for the encouragement of our read
ers. "What man has done, man can
do"
The most remarkable farming
have ever met with, however, was done
this year by Mr.. H. T. Wiles,
small farmer in the southwestern por-
ton of Dallas county.
Mr.. Wiles, by the way, is cripple,
having lost his right leg. In making
his crop this year he had no regular
help except his wife, but he hired two
or more men from time to time for
short intervals during the cultivation
and harvesting of his crops. He didn't
plant any cotton. He cultivated fifty
nine acres planted as follows:
Eighteen acres in corn, averaging
forty bushels per acre, worth 50 cents
a bushel.
Sixteen acres of sweet potatoes,
which yielded $50 bushels of marketa-
bic potatoes per acre, and twenty
five bushels of small potatoes per acre
The marketable potatoes will average
so cents a bushel The small ones
will be held over for seed and will
next spring, bring IS cents bushel
Five acres in melons that averaged
$Ioo per acre.
Eight acres of Spanish peanuts that
yielded not less than 800 bushels of
nuts and twelve tons of peanut hay.
The nuts readily bring $40 bushel
and the hay is worth $625 a ton.
Two acres of sorghum hay yielding
three tons per acre, worth $3.50 ton.
Five acres of Irish potatoes yield
ing about $50 bushels per acre, which
sold at an average price of 90 cents
bushel. There were also some 100
bushels of small potatoes made, which
were fed to the hogs at an estimated
value of 20 cents a bushel
Three acres of oats made one and a
half tons per acre, worth $40 ton.
Two acres of pumpkins, which made
large yield, and, for stock feed, esti-
mated at SIS per acre.
Eight acres in June corn planted on
the oat stubble and potato land, which
made 100 bushels worth so cents a
bushel. One acre of Kentucky Won
derpole beans planted as a second
crop on potato land, of which $40

Referring to the above itemized

With such yeomanry as this any
country would, under such govern
ment as ours, be prosperous, and what
H. T. Wiles and his faithful compan-
ion have accomplished is surely a
credit both to themselves and "grand

Do you think that the estimate of
the editor of the Oklahoma Farmer
gives too high place to the Ameri-
can farmer? Read what he says:
The farmer of today is 1T.
He is the salt of the earth and the
fat of the land.
All manner of men bow to him.
If anywhere on earth there is
class of human beings that has more
abundant cause for self congratula
ton and perfect contentment than the
farmers of the United States, infor
nation as to their whereabouts would
be of much interest
During many years in succession,
the American farmer has had his toll
rewarded with abundant harvests.
At the same time he has found so
large a demand for his products that
the prices were kept at high level.
Just now he is marketing corn
crop worth about ST, 100, 900, 900, cot
ton crop worth $780, 100000, a hay
crop worth $6oo,ooo,ooo, a wheat crop
worth $45o,ooo,ooo, potato crop
worth $35o,ooo,ooo, crop of oats
worth 100000, tobacco crop worth
$5o,ooo,ooo, a barley crop worth Sos
600, 900, sugar beet crop worth $751;
100000, and numerous minor crops,
which in the aggregate, represent
goodly value.
He is getting higher prices for his
poultry, eggs and butter
His mortgages are thing of the
past.
He is a large purchaser of every
thing that he needs and of many
things that he merely desires, and all
the while his bank account grows
steadily.
In view of all these facts it is
strange that the further development
of agricultural industry depends large
ly upon the immigrants who come to
our shore.
Some American-born farmers turn
their faces away from the inviting
prosperity they have at home and go
to the cities, whose great buildings:
crowding, hurrying multitudes, and
noisy activity, and show and glitter
attract and fascinate them. Yet how
many can expect to do as we'll where
hundreds of thousands are striving as
they could do where the country is
not yet crowded, and where all that
is needed to achieve success is to
produce the things for which there
is an ever increasing demand.
1t is to be hoped that reaction
from this rush of the young men from
the country to the cities will come, SO
that not all the benefits from the de-
velopment of which agricultural IN
dustry in this country is yet capable
will go to those who come from other
lands to seek their fortunes in the
United States.
Boys, stay on the farm! Be your
own master; remain with the ind
pendent class of the nation!

10 De HdQ which gives SuCn 1mmed1aLe
relief, we want all our readers to
know it. We have just found it and
have not yet had time to test it.
The following cure for burns is
given with approval in the report Of
the inspectors of factories for On.
tario. The suffering caused by burn
upon the skin, whether small or great,
is intense, as every one knows, and
medical science has only been able
thus far to palliate the pain, but not
to remove it entirely. Chance led to
the discovery in the Paris Charity
Hospital of remedy which, it is
claimed, will cause burns to cease
from being painful as soon as it is
applied and which will cause injured
flesh to heal with marvellous rapidity
DR.. Thierry, one of the surgeons
was in the habit of using picric acid
as an antiseptic and his hands were
therefore, in1pregnated with the solu-
ton. One day in lighting cigarette,
a portion of the burning match fell
on his hand; but instead of feeling it.
he noticed not the slightest pain A
short time afterward, while sealing a
letter, some of the burning wax stuck
to his finger and, though it cauterized
the skin, he felt no sensation.
This set him to thinking and he ar.
rived at the conclusion that the acid
had, to use his own words, acted upon
the tissues and frightened them. He
began series of experiments in treat
ing burns with a saturated solution
of picric acid. All pain was instantly
suppressed.
He says in his report that, after
having bathed the wound in solution
of this acid, bl1sters did not form
and a cure was effective after four
or five days. The only inconvenience
was that the acid, which is CONNER
tally used in the manufacture of dyes,
colored the skin yellow, but these
stains rapidly disappeared when wash
ed with bor1c acid Picric acid, more
over, is odorless and is neither caus-
tic nor irritating in its effects.
The cheapness of picric acid and the
ease with which proper solution may
be prepared and kept ready, have in
duced many of the large manufacture
ers about Paris whose workmen are
frequently burned at their labors, to
place jars within easy reach, SO that
those injured may be treated with as
little delay as possible.
In the we'll regulated household,
too, bottle of picric acid should be
added to the useful stock of remedies
and always kept on hand. DR.. Thier-
~ does not tell how much water to
use in the solution, but a pound Of
acid to a barrel of water is the pro-
portion used in some of the French
foundries. To this is may be added
that it is poisonous and it's ammonia
salt is used, as an ingredient in ex-
p1osives.
Another method of it is use to pre-
vent blisters is to dissolve a small
quantity of the acid in little alco-
hol, the solution being constantly ap-
piled to the burned part until the
s1narting pain has ceased
