ADVICE SARCASTIC.
How You Can Avoid Being a Book
Farmer.

Every now and then we find farm.
er who has horror of book farmers
and would not for any consideration
be considered by his neighbors as
such. We wish to help this fellow and,
therefore, make few suggestions.
First, we advise him not to keep
any books for his farm operations.
Simply go along from year to year,
taking what you get without know
ing what it costs you, avoiding all ac-
curate knowledge OF what 1t has cost
you to produce ton Of hay, bush
el of wheat or oats, pound of pork
or beef or butter. Such information
as this is dangerous to the man who
is fearful of being book farmer
Don't take any agricultural papers.
They, too, are dangerous, for they
might set you to thinking. They might
contaminate your mind with the re-
suits of experiment stations or the ex-
perience of farmers. II you read any
agricultural paper at all. read one
that somebody has sent you for moth
ing in order to get your trade or your
patronage or for some other reason,
honorable or dishonorable. This will
not do you much harm, but better not
take any at all.
by all means keep away from all ag-
ricultural institutes. Avoid particu.
iarly any lectures that have the least
tinge of science. 1t is true that sci
ence lie only the application of com
mon sense to farm operations, and
that 1t only teaches how 10 obey the
laws of nature; but science smAcks
of book farming and, therefore, every
thing that has the remotest connec-
ton with science should be avoided.
Keep away from farmers institutes.
To further avoid any possible dan
ger of becoming book farmer try
to find fault with the operations OF
your neighbors. II your neighbor
across the fence has so bushels of
40. try to explain IT in some way that
will not be reflection on your own
practice. You might say that his
land was better TO begin with, that he
was lucky. or that he happened to
plant Just in the right sign" You can
easily explain his success without CIV
ing any credit whatever to what is
known as book farming. You can also
explain why he raises large litters OF
pigs or has large yields of milk, OF
gets better weight and better prices
for his steers. Cultivate the disposi
ton TO find fault and criticise in
every way possible.
II these directions, says wallace's
Farmer. are followed, we will guar
antee that the man who follows then

WOMEN TERRORIZED BY BRUTE
Hurt in Desperate Struggle, Brave
Lad Closes Door on Neck Of His
Pursuer and Beats in

St Louis.-Earl Rice, ten years old,
killed a mad dog in a fierce single
handed fight at his home in Alton. H.,
the other day. The boy beat out the
dogs brains with hammer after he
had closed door upon its neck and
held it as in wise. The dog had at
tackled a dozen persons and had been
pursued by a crowd Of men, armed
with clubs, stones and guns, who
failed to kill it. The boy was pain
fully bitten and bruised in the fight.
The dog ran amuck on Ridge street.
in the eastern part of Alton. After
swapping at several persons the ami
NAL started up the middle of the street
yelping and biting at everyone 1t en-
countered. Several women and chill
dren had narrow escapes. and one man
was knocked down when the dog
lunged at him.
A crowd gathered and, armed with
clubs and stones. started in pursuit of
the dog. Several men shot at the ami
NAL, but missed 1t, and shower of
missiles struck it without stopping It's
progress. Two men cornered the dog
in a doorway and for n moment the
crowd in pursuit thought It would be
killed The men beat 1t over the head
with clubs. but before gun could be
procured the animal darted between
the men and started again on its ram
page.
Earl Rice was playing near his
home, No. 40 Ridge street. with sew
eral other boys, when the dog started
toward the group. The children scst.
tered and the animal singled out Earl
TO attack. The boy ran toward his
home, with the dog only few feet he.

yard the dog pounced upon him,
The dog fastened It's teeth In Earl's

GAVE SKIN TO SAVE CHILD.

1t was cut off and grated over nearly
third of the suffering childs body,
Mildred fell into a bonfire while
playing near her home at No. 3SS
Pine street, Brooklyn, few weeks
ago. She was taken to the Children's
hospital. burned from her hips to her
toes. Drs. Brown and Cahill decided
on Sunday last that skin grating
must be resorted to.
Mildred's mother is a poor widow,
She has four children, one younger
than Mildred. The others are Ar
thur and Isabella, aged 13 and 15
respectively.
81 will give my own skin to save
my Mildred" cried the mother when
the doctor told her of their decis-
ion.
I'VE will give ours, too" sobbed

Mildred was moved to the Kings
County hospital on Monday. There
Drs. Barber and Woolsey assisted
Drs. Cahill and Brown in the opera
ton. Mrs. Lynch, Arthur and Isa-
bella were placed under an anaes-

skin from the thighs of mother and
children. Little Mldred's awful
burns were covered before Arthur,
who was first to come out of the
anaesthetic, opened his eyes.
How did Mildred pull through"
he gasped.
Her life is saved" said one of the
doctors
All the patients were resting quiet

happy in spite of their wounds.

Poison Found In Her stomach and
Also In Those of Each of Her Two
Chndren-Dlscovery Upsets Many

C.t,c the Question.

La Porte Ind, Aug. 5.-Coroner
Mack has announced that DR.. Wal
ter Haines of Rush Medical college,
who analysed the stomach Of Andrew
Hegelein of Aberdeen, S. D.. last vic
tim of Mrs. Belle Guinness, finding
strychnine and arsenic I'm fatal doses,
has also found in the stomachs Of
Mrs. Guinness and two of the chill
dren arsenic and strychnine in guam
titles sufficient TO have caused death.
The discovery of poison in the wo-
mans stomach and that of her chill
dren has upset many of the former
theories In the case and has opened
up the possibility of Mrs. Guinness
having killed the children in the
same manner in which she took the
lives of her victims and then having
ended her own life with fatal dose.
Attorney Worden, who represents
Ray Lamphere, charged with the
Guinness murders and with being an
accompice of Mrs. Guinness in the
Helgelin death, declares that the dis
covery shows that his client could
have had nothing to do with the
death of the woman and her chill
dren.

Smith and Sheriff Smutzer resulted

joint statement:

prosecutors office. Whether Mrs.
Guinness killed herself or not is a
mooted question. We hope now that
this report will set at rest the wag-
ging tongues of few. who have seen
fit to declare that Mrs. Guinness is
still alive for the seeming purpose
of creating a sentiment to that eff
feet among the citizens OF Laporte
county and elsewhere. At present II
does not seem that the report of DR..
Haines will have much bearing upon
the questions involved in the Lam
phere case, but the main issue. 1t
strikes us, is the establishment beyond
any possibility of contradiction that
the much-found Mrs. Belle Guinness
is dead"
