AROUND THE FARM
BUILDING Up the Soil.

During farmers week in Burlington.
VI. says correspondent OF the Amer.
lean Cultivator. an expert or the United
States department OF agriculture. l., II.
Dodge. spoke on the management OF
the dairy farm. He said New. Eng.
land farms did not produce rs heavily
as they should. This he attributed TO
lack OF rotation or crops and to heavy
feeding and cropping OF pastures and
meadows without adequate return OF
plant food: also TO the waste OF stable
manure and its improper application.
"A good rotation IL corn. grain. clover.
Hay land should be top dressed with
stable manure. and best results are
obtained by applying this little and
often. Where land remains In grass a
long time light seeding OF clover from
time to time In beneficial. reseeding I'm

removed.
Pastures may be top dressed and
should not be grazed too early In

can be plowed II IL advisable TO plow

An esrly ossraIa Meo,te,.


In the fore part OF August 1914, .
party Of hunters found In a mountain
Gus region now known as Rabun coun.
~. Ca. a being nearly eight feet high
covered with blush hair aud having q
human face adorned with immense
ears resembling those OF an ass. Tho
creature was stone deaf and on that
account seemed wholly unconscious OF
the approach OF the men. This mon
ster seems. from all accounts, TO have
been seen upon several occasiob Adur-
ing the next four years. In Isle a
number OF adventures from Virginia,
most OF them surveyors working up
the unexpiored portions OF Georgia
and the Carolinas. formed themselves
into n party for the express purpose
Of capturing the uncanny being IL pos
sibie. They secured the hills and val
legs for several days and at last re-
turned unsuccessful to the starting
point.
The many tales told OF this extraor-
binary being seem to have created
quite stir all along the Atlantic coast.
A printed circular issued by land
company In 1915 says 1.-The climate Of
Georgia 10 exceedingly mild. tho soil
productive. and the danger OF attack
from uncouth beasts which are repre-
scented as being half beast and half
man are fairy tales not worthy of con-
sideration. "-Exchange.

Feeding caIvs. In Summer.

In warm weather calves should be
kept In during tho daytime and
turned out during the evening. so ms
to avoid the no. sun and the files
Whole or chopped cats should be fed
or mixture OF whole and chopped
onts. About a cupful twice u dny for
an ordinary sized calf that l. on good
pasture will be sufficient. For hi,,
feeding until the roots are harvested
there Is nothing equal to green corn
run through the cutting box and mixed
with some chopped oats.
The main point In feeding Is never
TO allow calves to stop growing and
to keep beef animals always In good
flesh. In feeding calves. as In every
system of feeding. the extremes OF over
and under feeding are TO be avoided.
Continuous. regular. liberal feeding al.
ways brings the most profit and the
best practical results.-D. O. Anderson.

Love. Honor and ohsY.

The controversy about including the
word obey" i'm the marriage VOW is
probably as old as the marriage cere-
mOny itself. When Marion Harland's
parents were married in 1925 (as she
tells us in her autobiography the bride
had 'IaughingIy threatened that she
would not promise TO obey and that q
scene would follow the use Of the OBJ.
noxious word I'm the marriage service
The young divine, with this i'm mind or
in a fit OF observation-disclosures or Of
stage fright, actually blundered out.
Love, honor-and obey i'm all things
consistent" The costumes worn on
this occasion were hardly as modern
as the unfortunate amendment "ThI
bride wore n soft sheer india muslin,
veil falling TO the hem Of the gown
and white brocade slippers embroid-
cred with faint blue flowers. 1ho
bridegr0om's suit was OF fine blue
cloth with real silver buttons. His
feet were clad i'm white stockings and
low shoes with wrought silver bu63

A TALE OF TWO CITIES.
Kinks In the Histories Of Now York
and Chicago.

dUO SntCd9O.
The manner In which the metropolis
OF the western hemisphere got its
name is a matter that has been dealt
with by many able chroniclers The
most trustworthy and at the same time
the most plausible story is as follows:
After the Dutch had ceased to be
dominant I'm the city a prominent
member OF one OF the English families
that had gained influence in the rapid
~ growing young community one day
traded oxen with neighbor and on
his way home stopped In front Of a
tavern somewhere on what is now low
or Broadway. As he did so several Of
the men who were In the habit OF fire.
quenting the place assembled In the
front yard. and one OF them cried out:
Hello. Those amt the oxen you
used to have"
NO" replied the owner of the cat
tie. I've got new yoke"
New yoke" at once became com
mon phrase and was soon adopted as
the name of the city. II was an easy
step from that to New Yawk." the
present name OF the place
lDe naming OF CnlcaBO came ABOUT In
curious way. Shortly after the build
ing OF the first few huts near the
banks Of the river one Of John Kin
Zie's boys caught two crows. male
and a female, which he tanned and
taught to speak the English language.
The Kinzies had at that time a young
Indian maiden. who did plain sewing
and other household duties, and she
became very fond OF the pet crows.
One day the female crow managed
somehow to get out OF the cage in
which the birds were kept and mt once
few away. The Indian girl CHANGED to
see the crow make its escape. and,
greatly excited. she rushed into the
dining room. where the various mem
bers of the family were waiting for
the finger bowls. Waving her arms
up and down as n they had been
wings. the young squaw cried:
She cav go"
Shecawgo was at once adopted as
the name Of the town and remains so
to this day, the spelling only having
been changed.-Chicago Record Her

WITNESS STEALS RIDE

AS the trial progresses. the case OF
Blair & jackson VS.. the Wells Fargo
Express Co.,.sor the American Express
Co, ct all. wakes more interesting and
q promise of a stiff legal battle Is in
sight. A number of men arrived this
morning from Kansas City and other
points through which the defendant
companies operate and will be wit
nesses in the case. A witness for the
plaintiff, Fred Nichol. proved center
of interest this morning in the hear
ing. He brought out in the testimony
the story Of his connection with the
case He stated that he had boarded
the palace horse car In which the stall
lions Of the plaintiff were shipped at
Bloomington, Ill. He told of hiding be-
meath some hay and not exposing his
presence In the car until going through
Kansas. He stated that he was d1scov-
cred by some one, apparently the con-
ductor or Inspector at Barstow, Calf.
and forced to pay his way in the pas
senger car to Los Angeles. His pres
ence in the car makes him a valuable
witness in the case
The case while brought under the
title against three express companies,
is being pushed against the Wells
Fargo co. because the animals were in
its care, when they took cold.
History Of the Case.
The history Of the case as brought
out at the trial, shows that Blair &
jackson shipped nine stations from
Bloomington Ill. to Los Angeles. Cali
fornia February 2, 9O9.3Some $4,000
value Is given the cargo and 1915 was
the express charge on the animals. The
contract was made with the National
Express Co. which transferred the car
go to the American Express CO. This
company at Kansas City delivered the
car to the Well Fargo company which
brought the animals to Los Angeles. 1t
is claimed by the plaintiff that upon
leaving Kansas City severe winter
storm arose and owing to the numer-
GUS appearances in the car, some of the
stations took cold. or the nine shipped,
one; known as Coco, had to be taken
from the car at Albuquerque, N. M,
where it died of pneumonia
Another stallion known as Bon
Lusty. was also taken off the train but
survived. while the third animal named
Moors Medalist, died at Los Angeles.
The cargo included aside from those
mentioned the following stations:
Right Powerful. Top Sheaf, Royal
Standard, Adam. Roam Shadeland and
Tom Bennett.
The damages being sued for in the
case are $4,000.
