This Is Worth Tryinn-

For the window boxes in which TO
start vegetables next spring take I'D
now quantity of loose. rich soil and
burn it to kill old vegetable life. This
can be done by burning wood over
the soil before it is taken up or on
a piece Of sheet iron over a fire. Put
this in a barrel and keep in per-
fectly dry place.
When your seeds come up from this
soil next spring they will be free from
weeds.

Value of Separator.

1t is quite safe to say that a dairy
man with ten average COWS yielding
five thousand pounds of milk each an
nually would, by the deep setting cold
water system, lose at least 800 pounds
of butter fat yearly which would
amount to about $50. From this one
saving alone it can easily be figured
that a cream separator will pay for
itself every year in the saving of
butter fat from the milk of ten COWS

SHOW AND PRODUCING TYPES
Ayrshire Bred for Exhibition Has
Been Developed for Beauty Alone
Conformation of Uuder.

There are two kinds of Ayrshires-
the show type and the producing
type. The show type has been devel-
oped and bred for beauty alone The
genuine show udder must be compact
and closely attached, both before and
behind. The sole must be fiat with
no lamentations between the teats and
the udder must not protrude behind,
but be carried up even with the
thighs and have small, cylindrical
teats. evenly placed on the fat bot

that can be shown in many years in
succession and not become too pen
dant for the ring. Any intelligent
dairyman knows that this type of I'D
der is feshy and does not belong to
the best producers This craze for
tight, close, shallow udders started
in the show ring about twenty-five
years ago.

FIGHT TECUMSEH ROAD
County Attorney says Commissioners
Haven't Got the. Money.

In an answer filed today, Shawnee
county objects to the construction of a
macadam road for Tecumseh township
because of limited funds in the county
treasury and asks the court to set aside
the application for an injunction pro-
hibiting the building of oil roads. The
action against the county board was
filed several weeks ago by the official
board of Tecumseh township.
1t is contended by the Tecumseh peo-
pie that the board promised them
macadam road three miles in length on
an agreement that the township would
provide certain improvements. The Te-
cumseh board filled their part of the
contract and asked for the rock road.
Members of the board smiled and
courteously told the Tecumseh people
that they should be satisfied with an oil
road. When the county prepared to
build an oil road instead of the rock
road, the county was enjoined.
County Attorney Simon in his answer
declares that the agreement was verbal,
but does not deny the truth of the con-
tract. He asserts that the board should
not be held to their promise because no
official action was taken at the time.
AS a further reason why the road
should not be built Simon states that
the county road fund is not sufficient to
carry out the contemplated improve
ments and alleges that the building of
a rock road for Tecumseh would cost
SIS, 900. He has no objection to an in
junction against the building of an oil
road, but urges the court to deny the
request for a nacadam highway.

POLICE JOTTINCS.

Thelma GOggins, a negro woman, IS
being held by the police on the charge
of shootings firearms within the city
limits At least this is the only charge
that can be made against her, accord
ing to the city ordinances, as the man
she shot refuses to prosecute her on
the charge of assault with intent TO
kill. Technically, the police are hold
ing her on the charge of shooting
Wesley Dodson below the belt and in
the back. If she had shot him in the
front part of the BODY above the belt
the charge would probably be more
serious, but the officers would feel
better as far as their own personal
opinion is considered. The trouble
happened at 500 East First street
Tuesday when the pair engaged in an
alteration because he was dividing
his attention and affection with some
unknown yellow gal" Thelma OBJ

attention and affection of Mistah bod

one saw him take the money; no one
saw him with the money and no one
saw him spend it and the police could
not get enough evidence to convict
him of a felony. He faced Judge Ar
mold in the police court Tuesday after
noon at which time a number of ofh-
GERS went on the witness stand and
said that he never worked, except
when on the city rock pile. As a re-
suit, his honor thought that it was
necessary and proper that Tom should
go to work, and inasmuch as he won't
work except when on the rock pile
and as he had no money, Tom was
fined $25, which is equivalent to %
