Companion Cropping.
Companion cropping, then, is the
growing Of different kinds Of plants on
the land at the same time To be sue
cessful, the crop must mature at widely
separated seasons, one crop should be
of inferior Importance, or catch crop:
the crops should be such that the same
SOIL, time of irrigati On and tillage, will
prove suitable; and, to not remove TOO
much Of one kind of plant food or to
breed the same kinds OF insects, il is
best to plant crops of different bo-
tanical families.
Succession Cropping.
Succession cropping is also of inter-
est TO those contemplating q small
kitchen garden. It is a system or
ratation, and in it the crops must ma
ture in less than the whole season, the
method Of planting one crop should not
be widely different from the one suited
to the one which is to succeed it: and
as IN companion cropping, the crops
should be unlike each other in order
not TO prove exhaustive to the soil or
unduly favorable TO the propagation Of
insects Root crops are best followed
by those with fibrOus roots; perennial
plants, by ANIMALS Rotating the vege-
table garden with clover, vetch or al
falfa is also to be recommended.
The Crops 70 Plant.
Any of the following crops may be
planted now: Beets. carrots, lettuce,
mustard, onions from seed, parsley,
radishes, spinich. turnips, horseradish,
and ruta5agas
The first reuisite for success in grow
ing vegetables is a suitable soil. A
light one, ech as a sandy or a silt
loan, is the best, for it is apt 10 be
fertile, viii hold moisture well and is
easily titled. Next in Importance is the
water supply. Sprinkling with a hose
or can will not do. but the ground should
be thoroughly soaked at each irrigation
The land should be as nearly level as
possible, and in a small garden. where
the burrows or plats are short there
need be no fall to induce the water to
flow.

A meeting OF the committee appoint

matter OF organization discussed. J.

the grounds where il is proposed 10
dam the waters of the Washita with
which to furnish power for manuFac.
turing purposes.
Two fellows tackled Mayor COtrec
and his party as they were returning
from the work and asked for a ride,
which was granted them. Being full
OF booze, and pretty ugly in their dis
position and conduct on the arrival AT
the station, the mayor and his party
tried 20 get rid OF them. but this was
of no avail and the fellows soon be-
came so abusive and threatening that

exasperated the fellow so that he
went up town, collected a large bunch
OF his followers and returned with
the intention of cleaning the visitors
out claiming that the mayor and his
party were arranging to operate the
stone crusher in that place and import
gang of negro laborers, which the
residents OF Dougherty resented.

the explanations that the mayor and
his party could make would not sat

trouble and it looked as though there
would be plenty of it before the af.

A telegram was sent by the mayor
to Buck Garrett to come up as sool
as possible, the officers at Dougherty
refusing to make any arrests or at
tempt TO quell the disturbance.
Buck Garrett made up party here
and arrived at Dougherty in due time,
finding the situation exceedingly in.

the opposing parties very strained.

The good citizens of Dougherty dep

things to such an extent in that com.

Fats Defeated Leans.

Hills fat goblers" defeated
Pickles "lanky gildees" in one of the
fastest games of the season at Lo-
rena park Friday afternoon. the score
being l2 to l in the fats favor. Both
sides did excellent work but the fats
say that the lankies were just simply
outclassed from the first and had alb
solutely no chance TO win. The game
was to have been played for the bene-
fit of the Confederate Home, but on
account of some misunderstanding
on the part of the management, no
one was there to sell tickets and the
game was played TO an open house.
1t is regretted that no more interest
In the matter was shown as there was
a good crowd out and a nice sum
could have been realized.

possession She priced it even more
highly than her sheep.
1t looked for a moment as If there
were to be no prizes and perhaps not
even any show, but just at this most
trying moment Aunt Lillian came to
the rescue,
II don't really think" she said that
we should take away the other dolls
jewelry for prizes. That would be
hardly fair. But we can make some
very attractive new jewelry from
beads, and I happen to have some
beads that are exactly right for this
purpose"
Aunt Lillian then brought out a most
fascinating box which contained beads
of all colors and several sizes, and
sewing silk, cord and wire and some
small pins for the hair.
First Aunt Lillian showed them how
to make pearl earrings with some
beautiful pearl beads which were fas-
tened to thin wire so that they could be
placed on the lobe of the dolls ear
very neatly, while the wire was ex
tended back to the ear and up to the
hair
For the first prize they made lovely
pearl necklace, such as even the proud
est doll would be glad to win, and for
the second they made a necklace OF
blue beads that was almost as pretty
and quite as valuable. There was
necklace Of red beads for the third prize
and a bracelet of beautiful gold glass
beads for the fifth. The earrings were
the sixth.
Other prizes were pins for the hair Of
gold, crystal and colored jewels, which
were made on hairpins, the beads being
strung on a small wire and twisted
around the hairpin.
When they had finished making the
prizes there were the honorable men
ton ribbons to make. These were made
of white ribbon, on which the words

ink. 1t was very difficult to mark them
without having the ink run. and so
Aunt Lillian got her indelible pencil.
which is used to mark table linen, ETC.,
so that it will not get lost in the laun-

honorable mention ribbons were marked
a blue ribbon was marked first prize"
and a red one second prize" All the
rest of the awards were third prizes,
and they were to be accompanied by
yellow ribbons marked third prize"
BY this time all of one afternoon was
used up and Clara and Matilda were
obliged to wait until next day before
any more work was done on the dolls

the next day they werelmet by twitter

Finding Mummies in Mexico

Mummified remains OF persons who
existed hundreds OF years ago have
been dug up in the work Of excavating
that has been going on in the old cat
acombs OF Guanajuato Mexico The
people whose bodies were discovered
must have lived long before the settle
ment OF the republic, and the finds
have occasioned much interest among
scientific men. Some of the bodies were
decked with beads and ivory ,trinkets
that were in vogue before the coming
OF the Spaniards, so these people must
have lived in that part of the country
many centuries ago. The mummies
were discovered under an old cemetery
while excavations were being made by
some prospecting miners.-New York

The Wisdom of a Toad

of a frogs cunning: "A brood OF
chickens was fed with moistened
meal in saucers and when the dough
soured a little 1t attracted a large
number of flies. An observant toad
had evidently noticed this. and every
day toward evening he would make
his appearance in the yard, hop to a
saucer climb in and roll over and over
until he was covered with meal, having
done which he awaited Developments.
The flies, enticed by the smell, soon
swarmed around the scheming ba-
trachian, and, when one passed within
two inches or so Of his nose, his tongue
darted out and the ny disappeared
This plan worked so well that the toad

LARA and Matilda are two little
cousins. who live together in the
same house. go to the same school
and share the same playroom. One
day, when there had been a season Of
very bad weather, so that it was not
pleasant to play out OF doors for long
at time and when several more days
of even harder storms were predicted
by their Uncle George, who knew all
I about weather signs, Clara and Ma
tilda grew a bit restless and decided
they would like to invent some per-
fectly new, kind of play. something
that could be played indoors and which
would be very jolly. They thought
and thought for a very long time, when
suddenly they were interrupted by the
arrival of their Aunt Lillian
"oh, Aunt Lillian. what shall we play
that is brand new?" they cried.
''Well,f said Aunt Lillian, without
why don't you have a dolls beauty
show?"
Clara and Matilda looked at each
other in wide eyed admiration, because
they had never thought of such a
thing as dolls beauty show before
and they were perfectly delighted with
the suggestion. It's just the very
thing" they said
They started in at once to make
their arrangements. First they made a
huge placard of cardboard and on this
they printed in huge letters the words:
