"Barney's" Auto Hits Child.

Little Mildred, the bright 5-year- old child Of Mir. and Mrs. k. C. Hun ter, who reside next door to the Fish CT Hotel, had q very narrow escape from serious injury and, possibly from death, on last Saturday afternoon while romping with her playmate, Earl Fisher, on Washington street, near the above mentioned hotel.
 Mir. Barnhart was driving his Ford roadster up Washington street from the south and, sighting the approach ing car in that spirit of exciting risk and chance, inherent In all children, the little Fisher lad, jumped and ran across the street ahead of the auto. The little girl, Mildred Hunter, did not see her compan on until after he had safely made the passage aero
 the street and, as the car neared her, thought she would try for the other side as well, but the little girl had only ran few steps when she was

For the brief space of few seconds the child was in imminent peril As if by mira Gle, however, she escaped with an awful fright, severe shaking up and lew minor bruises and, at this writ Ing, Is up and about as cheerful and sprightly as ever.

Mixed 1t With Watermelon.

News reached the city Saturday morning to the effect that ]. E. fWa- termelon) Jones, who resides near Caldwell, had been worsted in an en- counter with Evans, the hired boy From what we can learn of the un- happy circumstance the trouble arose over something concerning the split ting of batch of pickets. It seems tEat there was misunderstanding about what length the pickets should be. Jones claiming to have told Evans to make the pickets three and half or four feet long while the latter maintained that they were to be made only three feet long The dispute soon reached the fighting stage and 1t Is said Jones advanced upon Evans in a threatening and beligerent manner with an open knife. When Jones came up within reach Evans swung on his asSaiant with an axe, knocking all the wind and fight out of the Water melon at one fell swoop After Evans had put the kibosh on tine aforesaid Jones, he took to his heels and de parted thence over into Jerico, leav- ing Watermelon to find his wits and senses as best he might
 When news of the fight reached the city Deputies Moore and Johnson started with the bloodhounds for the scene of the encounte', but from some cause the dogs were not set upon the trail of Evans and, thus far, no arrests have been made.
 Beyond serious bruises and great soreness in the ''chist." Watermelon is little the worse for wear, and hopes to be back in form again in few days.

SAVED OLD LADY's HAIR

my mother used to have very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite of what they both did. One
day her niece came In and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did 1t no good.
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment? Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scalding of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much In debt to Cutt-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four.
my own case was an eczema in my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then l thought I would flee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment I did for four or
five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun

CLERICAL SLIPS.

One of the best-known bishops has
fund of excellent clerical stories at his
disposal, although it Is seldom that
any but his intimate friends are ia
vored with them Here are one or
two:
certain preacher, discoursing upon
Bunyan and his work, caused a litter
among his hearers by exclaiming:
In these days. my brethren, we
want more Bunyans."
Another clergyman, bleeding ear
nestly with his parishioners for the
construction of a cemetery for their
parish, asked them to consider 'the
deplorable condition of 10000 Chris
tian Englishmen living without Chris
tian burial"
Still more curious was the clerical
slip:

man, solemnly; "the deacon is in

GOOD CARE OF BROOD MARES
Attention Given to the Mother Greatly
Influences CoIt-AIways Buy
Young Animals.
CBy S. c. MILLERA

Any breeder of experience. knows
we'll that almost as much depends on
the brOod-mare as on the stallion in
the raising of any breed Of good
horses.
Many colts take their conformation
from their mother, especially from
their shoulders back. For instance.
If mare has wide, ragged hips, her
colts are most liable to inherit this
tendency. Many colts also inherit
their dispositions from their dams.
Brood-mares should be sound. of
quiet disposition, strongly built, and
they should be well cared for.
1t is severe loss to the farmer
who pays $25 stud fee, loses two or
three months work of his mare. and
then loses the colt at birth, or after
ward, and all from neglect of some
sort.
The mare can be worked up to a
week or two before the colt is Drop
ped. In fact she Is better off for
the regular exercise, but she should
be handled by a careful man, who
will not excite her, and she should
have a roomy box stall for sleeping
quarters.
Although many may disagree with
me, am firmly convinced from nearly
80 years experience on breeding
farms, that it is a risky business pur-
chasing aged mares, who have spent
the best years of their life doing work
tn the cities, and trying to make
brood mares of them.
Even if they are only eight or ten
years old, it is an expensive expert.
ment. The reason is obvious.
In the first place when mare has
arrived at that age, and has never
had colt, her chances of getting in
foal are lessened each year.
Furthermore 1t is safe to say that
n reasonable proportion Of these
mares have slunked their colts, and
for this reason they have been sent
from the farms and sold In the cities,
where they can do excellent work.
In choosing brood-mares, always buy
young ones, say from three to FIVE
years old, then you should be able to
count on all of them getting in foal,
or certainly nearly every one, when,
If you pick up lot of secondhand"
mares, of uncertain age, your per-
centage of colts will be extremely un-
certain.
One good, sound young mare,
bought from some reliable farmer,
OF breeder, is worth more for breed
ing purposes than half a dozen so
called bargains" picked up in the
city.

susceptible to Gold and weather

with a leaky covering serve as winter

hogs are kept is also subject for
severe criticism. Many persons take
it for granted that the hog Is natural

Why women like the baldheaded
man it is somewhat difficult to define.
1t may be because he appears to be:
Thoughtful and kind.
Trustworthy and confiding. Whim-

Of youth.
Usually successful.
A man of property
Opinions why women like the bald
headed man obtained by the Daily
Mirror are as follows:
He is not silly like young men.
He accepts refusals Of marriage so
nicely that one is sorry one did not
accept him.
The bald patch looks SO clean and
nice One would like to kiss 1t.
A doctor welcomes badness when it

Ground for Early Vegetables.

1t is a good idea to select the spots
now where the early vegetables, such
as radishes, lettuce, etc., are to be
grown next year, and to cover those
spots with about four inches of fresh,
strong manure This is allowed to lie
there until the beds are to be dug
over for planting, when the soil will
be found as rich and mellow as anyone
could desire. The available fertility
has reached into the soil. while the
covering has protected it from the
heavy rains that beat down and pack
naked soils. When planting time
comes, rake off the coarse litter, loosen
the soil with fork and SOW the seed.
Asparagus and rhubarb should be cov1
cred the same way-four to six inchesi
with strong, fresh manure. This is.
left on until growth begins, then the
coarse litter is just moved on the
crowns of the plants and left to decay

SSNOTES ~

Young calves are generally delicate
feeders.
Animals on pasture naturally take
exercise.
1t is not the best practice to feed
silage exclusively.
The pig should be kept growing
from start to finish.
Animals should be kept out of doors
as much as possible.
The best way to prevent hog chol7
era is to keep the germs away from
the hog.
The first and most important thing
in raising hogs successfully Is to have
good stock.
Young colts should not be left out
Il. he pasture until they begin to get
low in flesh.
The pigs should be taught to eat
as soon as possible, slop being the
principal feed.
After the calf Is past its babyhood
it's growth and development are stiD
to be promoted.
A soft fat horse will shrink during
the first day of blowing. So look well
TO the shoulders.
Do not turn stock onto winter
wheat for pasture until the ground
is frozen fairly hard.
The bad effect of feeding cotton
seed meal to pigs comes from giving
it in too large amounts.
If we are going to have good brood
sows we must give proper attention
to the makeup of the young gifts.
After the sows begin to get heavy
they should have separate sleeping
quarters. or not more than two should
sleep together.
Inferior fodder upsets animals. and
no one will keep much stock or go
on for long without finding that
change of food is desirable. indeed
necessary.
Profits from live stock on the farm
depend chiefly, as has been well said.
