boosts, extracts from Hadley'S
speeches, flapdoodle puffery of the
Hadley administration. This all comes
from the official press bureau in the
Capitol, which is an annex and adj
junct to the Governors office. And
in an intelligent discussion Of the
Hadley squawkery, the Lexington
News throws the following further
light on the subject:
"Butwho do you suppose is the fel-
low in charge of the Republican press
bureau? Put there at the request of
Hadley did you say? Well, if not at
his request certainly with his consent.
He extols the Hadley virtues with
intimate familiarity and with an ac-
curacy of administration detail that
brands all his utterances as vibrations
from the Kansas windmill.
He belongs body and soul to the
Hadley administration and is tool in
the Hadley household.
Now who do you suppose this fel-
low is that has been selected by our
pluperfeet, unctiOus and Immaculate
governor to defend the Hadley adj
ministration and the g. o. p. against
all corners? He's renegade Demo-
Graf, dis-credited minister and last
year was employed by the brewers
of the State to edit "wet" literature
for use in local option campaigns.
His name is ''Rev." Ben Deering!
This is the gallant Knight who sal
lies courageously forth at so much
per, to defend Republican admins
tration of affairs in this State. q,
Does the fact that a press represen-
tative of the brewers becomes the
press representative Of the Hadley
administration indicate anything?.
Answer that question for yourself.

Columbia Farmers Fight Duel
With Knives.

Columbia, Mo-, Oct.--As a result
of a feud over the trespassing of
hogs, Abraham Sublett and William
Poff, wealthy farmers, dismounted
from their horses when they met in
the st. Charles road near here and
drew their knives, as their feet touch
ed the ground, and fought up and
down the road.
They were exhausted and weaken
ed by loss of blood so that Floyd Per-
kins, attracted to the scene, was able
to separate them.
Poff, whom Sublett disemboweled,
was carried to his home nearby. Sub
lett received bad knife wounds in the
side and left shoulder and also is in a
serious condition.

Throat.

Carthage, Mo-, Oct. 24.-Following
a domestic quarrel, Thomas Brooks

the tracks Of the Southwest Missouri
electric line, beat her head back over
a rail and slashed her throat from ear
to ear with a pocket knife.
She struggled to her feet and stag
gered three blocks with the blood
flowing freely from the wound. Med
ical aid reached her speedily and her
throat was sewed up but it is not
thought that she can live.

Those who have a supply of millet

full about feeding it to horses, espe-
cially if the milletwere allowed to gel

seed acts rather iniuriously on the
kidneys of the horse and for that rea-
son it ought to be fed sparingly.
However, if the crop has been cut
when the seed was in the milk con-
dition, no harm will result from feed

KICKED BY HORSE.
Life of Frank Robinson Hanging
in the Balances.

Frank Robinson, one of Appleton
City's well-known business men and
member of the firm of Hedges &,
Robinson, real estate agents, sustain
ed injuries Sunday afternoon by be-
ing kicked by a horse that has caused
him much suffering, much alarm up
on the part of his family and friends
and may yet result in his death.
AT the time Frank sustained the in
jury he was in company with two or
three companions trying to break
some western horses in a pasture a
short distance from the city, when
one of the animals became unman-
ageable and kicked him with terrible
force in the abdomen, resulting in in
ternal injuries the extent of which
the attending physicians, Drs. c. P.
BOwden and D. S. Talbot, have been
unable to fully determine. There is
also great danger of peritonitis devel-
oping.
The journal is pleased to be able
to say that Franks condition seemed
to be improved somewhat at the time
of going to press and the physicians
report the conditions more favorable
to recovery than they have previous.

The School and the Farm.

Missouri is a state of many and
varied resources, but is first of all an
agricultural state. On Missouri farms
are 282,S40 families. Thousands OF
others drive their livelihood indirect
ly from the soil. Yet, important as
is agriculture, there has until recently
been comparatively no attention CIV
en- to its study, even in country
schools. Too often is it true that our
country boys and girls are being
educated from the farm instead of for
it."
The foregoing is from a bulletin,
"The School and the Farm" recently
issued by the Missouri State Board of
Agriculture, and which may be had
free by addressing, Geo. B. Ellis,
Secretary, Columbia, Mo. The bull
letin is intended primarily for those
engaged in work in rural schools, but
will doubtless be read with interest
by others. The author explains that
by the term rural schools" is meant
mot only the schools in extremely
rural districts, but also those in vii
lagos and small towns which draw
largely on the adjacent country for
pupils and financial support"
Failure to take up the teaching of
agriculture in some form" writes the
"has not heretofore meant
that the teacher has been at fault
Local conditions may have been such
as to have made it unwise to under
take the work. However, the point
we would make-and we would make
it plain-is that the rural school teach
er is at fault when he fails to point
out to the country boys and girls,
who are his pupils, the beauties and
advantages of the country, who is
directing them cityward,
and whose general demeanor and
is such as to make them
dissatisfied with their surroundings.
Not that we would have our boys and
girls blindfolded, not a bit of it. We
would not have them remain on the
farm just because they were born or
reared there, but we would have
these boys and girls receive the kind
Of instruction that would be of value
to them shauld they decide to remain
there. "
Not only is the need of agricultural
instruction pointed out, but there are
as to how to interest the
boys and girls in the study of the soil
and growing things. In addition,
there are special chapters by men
prominent in rural school work. In
one of these Thos. R. Melton tells of
now he introduced agriculture in a
district school, and describes novel
md successful school district fair.

Hints For Stock Owners.

Do not leave stock out in the fields
on cold nights. 1t is cruel, besides
being Improbable. When man was
given dominion over the beasts of the
fields he was not given license to
practice inhumanity.
The longer you keep sheep the
more fine white clover you will have
in your pastures.
The best of the spring crop of
lambs should be selected for breeders;
inferior ewes, lambs, ETC., disposed
of. Ewes that have not been profit
able should also be turned off.
1t doesn't make much difference
whether you cook pumpkins for hogs
or not. Cornmeal and bran are both
good to feed with them.
The fall pigs should be kept grow
ing but not too fat. They will pay to
winter for feeding next summer.
The early ones will 90 to market in
January and February, if well fed.
1t is not possible by any known
method to make dirty milk into clean
butter.
The use of the separator on the
farm, if good machine, benefits the
owner by close skimming, makes few
utensils to wash, permits the use of
the skim-milk, new and sweet, and
saves hauling a heavy load to the
creamery each day. fla man has
but one or two cows and does not
patronize creamery, it will not pay
to buy a separator. With good, cold,
deep setting, the milk may be skim

The FireIess Cookers

In a f1reless cooker the cooking is
done by retained heat; if the inclosed
heat be let out, cooking soon ceases.

mum and the summer season be thus
made an occasion for enjoyment for all
the members of a family
Fireless cookers give good results
with such dishes as are cooked in boil
ing water; as ham, leg of lamb, corned
beef, stews of all kinds. fricassees, ra-
gouts, curries, casserole dishes, etc,
soups. custards and all buildings cooked
custard fashion. Probably no fireless
cooker will turn out Boston baked

have been baked in we'll regulat ed

which has been obtained in the pre-
liminaTy cooking in the oven is re-
tanned during the long process in the
fireless cooker.
The length of time to be given to the
preliminary cooking of a dish, in prep
aration for the fireless cooker varies
with the article to be cooked and much
depends on Its size. Before consign-
ing food of any kind to the fireless
cooker the temperature at the very
center of the article must be raised to
the proper cooking point for this speci-
fic article. then the cooker will con
serve this heat until the cooking is
complete. Soups, stews, etc. must he
at the boiling point when removed from
the source OF original heat.
Just as the fireless cooker conserves
heat SO will 1t conserve1cold. For In

cream, closely packed in ice, may he
