WEEDS AND CULTIVATION,

Life Crushed Out of Boy.

While playing in the street in front
of his home, at 1853 Fifty-third street
shortly before noon Saturday, 6-year-
old George Bennett was run down anC
instantly killed by heavy automobile
truck owned by the New York anc
Brooklyn Brewing Company of Bush
wick avenue and Scholes street. The
chauffeur of the car, Bernard Burns
who lives at 13l Ten Eyck street, was
arrested.
The little Bennett boy was playing
"cat" in the street with several of his
comrades, when the heavy machine
bore down upon him. He apparently
did not see it until it was close upon
him. Then he darted across TOWARD
the sidewalk. The driver of the ma
chine made frantic efforts to avoid him,
but the front wheels struck him and
knocked him down.
Despite efforts to stop the car the
heavy wheels passed over his body.
Ambulance Surgeon Dugan of the Nor
wegian Hospital answered hurry call,
but when he arrived the child was dead.

Value Of a Good Sire

their herds Such prices may seem to
be extravagant. but by little calcula-
tion 1t can be seen that the investment
is a good one. Supposing man has
herd of forty or fifty cows and buys
sire costing 81 900. Such sire would
certainly increase the value of every
calf from $50 to 500 each over a sire
that he might buy for. say. SIS or

advance would be $50 per calf. and
presuming the breeder would have for

season alone to the calves would be
$1,000. so that the breeder would make
a profit on the investment of 100 per
cent the first year and still have the
sire left. The following year he would
again be worth $1,000 to his owner,
and so on for many years. If this es-

plank was LETT out of the platform this

carino For Milk In Summer.

In order to properly care for milk
during the summer time milk house
containing a tank, preferably of ce-
ment. is absolutely essential. Cool
the nights milk as quickly as possible
to 60 degrees by placing the cans in
the tank of cold water AS soon as
milking is finished put the covers
on the cans. Milk does not require
dipping or pouring. Immediate cool
ing every night is the important point
If one cannot afford a milk house he
should at least provide tank or tub
in which to place the cans and sur
round these with cold water. II ice
is available use 1t In the water; If not
change the water a sufficient number
Of times to insure proper cooling. Use
a thermometer. 1t costs very little ana
