FARMING ls So Easy.


A Jackson county farmer serving on
the jury recently stood in the hallway
of the criminal court building, stretch
ing and yawning and complaining
about not getting enough exercise out
on the farm.
.'You fellows around the city do a
lot of walking and shifting about" the
farmer commented TO a city man.
When ! was on the farm blowing
and cultivating the soil l had no COM
plant to make about not getting
enough exercise" was the suggestive
comment of the city man.
You lived away back there at time
when a man followed the pillow and
lifted it around at the end of the fur
rows after having carried 1t to The
field on his back and such things" the
farmer explained. I'VE ride and pillow
these days, you know. Almost every
thing else is done by machinery. Why.
we have to construct gymnasium on
the farm to get little exercise when
we get up in the mornings and before
we go to bed at night"
Then he stretched and yawned again.
while the city man kicked himself
metaphorically-for having to work so
hard.-Kansas City Star.

officials of the United States depart.
ment Of agriculture are of the opinion
that 1910 will hold the record among
many years for the severity of the
losses from forest fires. The summer
fires followed a spring season believed
to have been the worst, certainly in
the lake states. known for long time.
Nor is it wise to assume that the dan
ger is over when the fierce confagra-
tons which have called forth in the
mountain states the efforts of three
federal departments have been con-
quered The forests will not be safe
until the fall rains and SHOWS have
once more made wet blanket of the
dry forest floor. That the total losses
of the year will run up to many mil
lions of dollars is considered certain.
The importance of systematic pro-
vision for the early discovery of forest
fires and for getting a properly
equipped force of fire fighters quickly
to the scene is insisted upon by Chief
Forester Graves. Zone of the funda-
mental principles in fire protection"
he says, sis to detect and attack fires
in their incipiency." Assuming quick
arrival at the fire, adequate force and
equipment and a well organized crew.
the essential thing is skill in attack
and in fighting. A front attack is rec
commended by the forester where such
methods are possible. Otherwise the
flames may be led to cleared space or
to water where the fierce front flames
will be checked. "a fire is never out
until the last spark is extinsuished.'
says the forester, and adds that at
least one man should be left for days
if necessary to patrol the edges of
burned district until certain that no
log or snag smoldering unnoticed har-
bors danger.

Music Hath Charms.

1gnaz Pleyel. a musician held in high
repute in his day and Viennese by
birth. was appointed kapelmeister at
Strnssburg in 1888. During the trou-
bled times of the French revolution he
lost his post, and his life was in grave
danger.
He escaped death and satisfied his
accusers that he was not an aristocrat
by writing music to some most revo-
lutionary stanzas. which were placed
before him for the purpose. while be-
side stood two gendarmes with fixed
bayonets.
Another instance. proving that 'mu-
sic hath charms to soothe the savage
breast" is that Of Alessandro Stradel-
IA. An Italian composer of the seven
teenth century. who carried off Il lady
named Ortensia from the home of Il
nobleman of high rank Two assas-
sins who were hired to kill him fol
lowed them to Rome. Entering a
church where an oratorio of his was
being performed. they were so moved
by the music that they warned Stra-
della of his danger and allowed him to
escape

The use of acetylene for mine lights
has the advantage over candles and
kerosene as fuel. Candles will re-
move seven times and kerosene five
times as much oxygen as acetylene.
The products of combustion given off

The light from acetylene will reach
