DAIRY NOTES.

The dairy COW pays the biggest re.
turns for extra care.
Milk to be kept longer than over
night should be cooled to 80 degrees
or under.
Dairying is becoming one Of the
most substantial industries conencted
with farming.
Sore teats will also cause some
cows to switch their tails into the

BY using alfalfa judiciously even II

be fed to earn money.
The good COW Is the home builder
the soil saver, the rich mans luxury
and the poor mans friend.

Amusing Magical Experiment.

Soak piece Of thread in strong
salt water, dry it, and repeat two or
three times. Whensthoroughly dry tie
one end to chandelier. and on the
other tie ring or some small but not
too heavy article.
1t is now ready for the experiment
Set fire to the thread, and behold the
ring does not fall to the floor, nor
does the thread break.
The explanation is: The thread has
in reality been burned, but the salt
with which the thread was saturated
forms solid column, and that sup
ports the ring. Varied experiments
can be made, using several threads
for one article, and in fact many 9th

LIVE STOCK ON A DRY FARM

that live stock cannot be kept on tn

PREVENT LOSS or MOISTURE
One Of Great Principles Of Dry Farm
Ing 10 TO Avoid Loss Of Water
by Evaporation.

A mulch is anything applied to the
surface of the soil. primarily for the
purpose of preventing evaporation and
occasionally to keep down weeds and
avoid winterkilling of plants. writes J
Freer in the New England Home
stead. There are two general kinds
of mulches:
Foreign material, such as straw
leaves. sawdust, manure, stubble and
sand applied to the surface.
Those composed OF natural sol
modified by tillage. One OF this KIND
is called dust mulch" or dust blank
et." and is simply layer of sol
which has been loosened up and dried
out Mulches Of foreign material play
very small part in general farming.
but are extensively used in horticuL
ture in some localities.
The principle Of the mulch Isl
Loose, dry material covering wet sol
retards the movement of water to the
surface, and keeps the dry, circulat
ing al from contact with the moist
soil, thereby greatly reducing the los,
of water. The finer the mulch this
looser 1t must be to give good results
Ordinary soil mulches two to thre,
inches deep are usually most effective

TELEPHONE IS EASILY MADE
Any Bright Boy or Girl Can Construct
Apparatus Suitable for Short
Distance Talking.

We are 80 used to the electric tele-
phone that we sometimes forget that
quite serviceable telephone for short
distance talking can be operated with
out the use of electricity. Any bright
boy or girl can make the non-electric
telephone. This is the way it may be
done:
cans by placing them in the Goals for
few minutes. Then cover one end
of each can with piece of soft
parchment or rawhide. so that the
covered can ends look ike drum-heads.
The parchment can be bound in place
by tapping it over the sides of the
cans and tying 1t down that way with
twine After your drum-heads are fin.
ished wax enough twine to extend
over the distance between the two
places that you wish to establish con
nections between. Then puncture 9
small hole in the center of each drum
head, slip an end of the waxed Irvine
through each drum-head and knot the
Irvine SO that 1t can't slip out You
will find that your telephone is com
| plete. All you will have to do is tt
put the drum-heads in place, so tina
the Irvine will draw taut For in
stance, put one drum-head in one
house and put the other in neigh
boring house and draw the twin,
tight You will find that when yo1
tap upon the drum-head in one hous,
the sound will be carried to the othe
house, and that If you talk into tn
tomato can, or drum-head, receiver Il

other end of the line can hear 20

court of common pleas of Knox coun
ty.

to farm land in Morrow county and
that 230 acres were rented for that
purpose. The plaintiff states that dur
ing the existence of the partnership
the defendant sold stock, grain and
other farm products. but has never
made an accounting for the same. The
plaintiff believes his share Of the pro-
fits amounts to $1,035 and therefore
seeks to recover judgment in that

SALE
Of One Glass Of Liquor Is
Not Enough
To Make The Aiken Tax Ap.
ply, Says Hogan
columbus Journal.l

An opinion yesterday by Attorney
General Hogan to State Food Commits
sioner Strobe will make it more diff
cult to assess the Aiken saloon tax
against illicit sellers.
1t is held that single sale Is insult
ficient evidence for the imposition of
the Aiken tax, though 1t Is sufficient
to show violation of the Rose or other
local option laws.
The attorney general reaches this
conclusion by drawing a distinction
between trafiicking and the business
of trafficking.
"a single sale," he says, would con
stitute trafficking in intoxicating
liquors, but single sale, with nc
other circumstances tending to show
that business was being conducted
would not constitute the business OF
trafficking in intoxicating liquors"
The Rose law prohibits the traffic
in dry territory. The Akin tax Is
levied against "the business of traf
ficking"
Under the opinion Commissioner
Strode's deputies, by buying glass OF
beer in dry territory, may establish
that the local option law is being ig'
nored, which is not what they are try.
ing to do, but can not proceed to GER
tify the seller to the county auditor
for assessment of the saloon tax.
To do that they must get more evi
dence, how much more the attorney
general declares 1t is not necessary
for him to discuss in the opinion rem
dered yesterday.

STRIKE
Gas In Old WOrn-Out Field
At Hartford City
And The Town May Have An.

(Hartford City Times Gazette)

(Hartford City Times Gazette)
Hartford City, the home of jun
bo," once the biggest natural gas we'll
in Indiana with a well pressure of
150 pounds and volume of 100000
cubic feet of gas a day, Is just now
elated over the striking natural well
by the Rlackford Paper Company on
the Arilla Willman farm, in Jackson,
Blackford county, that shows a well
pressure of 25 pounds. While this
strike is regarded as joyful news at
this time fifteen years ago the hole
would have ben plugged and aban-
doned. The well was shot Saturday
and bridged over and until it is clean
ed out it's exact value can not be de-
termined. The drill only penetrated
the Trenton or gas bearing rock 25
feet. 1t was formerly customary to
the rock. When the pressure reced-
cd water usually cut off the gas sup
ply wnen drilled this depth. The con.
pany will drill another well at once on
the Henry Bolner farm in the same
township. II mas also filed lease on
an acre of ground on the Frederick
Wentx ard William Williams farms
that adjoin the other two leases and
two more wells will be sunk as they
are needed The Biackford paper mill
Is the only manufacturing enterprise
in Hartford City at this time operated
by natural gas. The farms selected for
tho wells have never been drilled up
on before and the company is certain
that it will find plenty of gas at the
present pressure The Montpelier
steel plant also operates with natural
gas secured within four miles OF Hart
ford City. Since the removal of the
natural gas pumping stations the pres
sure has increased from almost moth
ing to 20 pounds.
