FARMER HIS OWN BUTCHER
That Was the OId-FashIoned PLAN
and One Writer Considers IL
Good One.

A contributor says that every farm.
er ought to make his own meat. At
present, he says, many are buying
meat at from thirty-f1ve to fifty per
cent. above the cost The time has
returned, he claims, when it will not
only pay every farmer to raise his own
meat, but to cure it for family use and
for sale besides. He goes on:
Five million dollars a year spent
for meat that might have been raised
on the farm, and the money kept at
home, is Kansas record. And it is q
mistake. It shows we are advancing
backward IN some things.
"The good old butchering days OF
our fathers ought to return, and with
them full knowledge of how to cure
the meat In various ways, so when
the fresh was gone, we should have
some of the finest, most appetite sat.
isfying meats on hand the year round
Kansas has awakened, and the state
agricultural college is leading by put
ting in a killing and curing plant
where all students may learn this use
full art from start to finish. What the
grain growing farmers of the west
have done, the milk making owners of
eastern farms have followed, and to-
day there are thousands Of farmers
families that never see a home cured
ham or taste a rasher of bacon or
slice of salt pork that is not got from
the meat dealer.
Having to spend money for meat,
many families lack suflciency of
this sinew-making food, and who may
say that not a few failures to make
good on the farm are due to lack of
the meat which stimulates ?"-Farn

SELECTING GOOD SEED CORN
Should Be Chosen In the Field a.
Husked From the Shoek-Keep
Free From Rodents.

Seed corn should be selected In the
field as the corn 10 being husked from
the shock. Expert growers make the
selection by going through the best
part of the field, picking out the best
medium-sized, well-tipped-out, small
cobbed, early-maturing ears, where
two grow on a stalk, and tying a red
string around them near the tip.
These ears win be found in the husk.
ing and should be kept separate. By
this method any careful farmer can
have In few years a productive va
riety of corn of standard excellence.
Do not select simply big ears. If the
variety of corn is good, the medium
sized ears will give the best results.
Spread the seed corn out on the top
floor of barn or granary, where the
corn will keep dry and sound and be
free from rats and mice.
The corn should not be shelled I'M
til near the season for planting.
Seedmen and careful truckers grow
each variety of sweet corn in separate
plots OF ground so the pollen will not
mix. Good land is chosen and care
full culture given; when the grain is
hard the field is topped and bladed
and the ears allowed to hang on the
stalks until the latter part Of October
to become thoroughly dry. The ears
are then gathered. husked and placed
in Slated boxes in the crib, fully ex-
posed to the air. Small lots may be
strung on wire and hung up in the
granary. In nearly every neighbor-
hood there is a demand in spring for
sound, well-selected seed corn.

1t is possible that, according to the
Kennebec Journal, that a handsome
new theatre may be erected upon the
site of the Theatre Comique, which
was destroyed by fire in Augusta, Apr
Is. Representatives of the Keith cir
cult of theatres have been there dur
ing the past few days looking at that
and adjacent sites in the fire district
and this fact has caused the rumor TO
gain considerable credence that one
of the new blocks to be built at the
North end will be new theatre
building. Some of the members OF the
local lodge of Elks are said to favor
the proposition of erecting an Elks
building in that section, and although
the matter has not yet been brought
before the lodge 1t is said on what
is believed to be good authority, that
the matter will be brought before the
lodge for consideration at an early
date.

Or. Frauenthars Narrative.
DR.. Henry J. Frauenthal, the well
known New York physician, one OF
the survivors of the Titanic. gave the
following account of the catastrophe;
The boat struck the iceberg at ll'40
p. m. | was in bed and asleep and
did not hear the crash My room was
on the other side of the boat from
the iceberg side.s | did not know any
thing until my brother, who was read
ing, came and aroused me.
I'VE rushed to the deck, dressed as
I was for bed. AS l came on deck l
saw the Captain and heard him toll-
ing Colonel Aston that the boat haf
been injured by an iceberg. the Geek
was already well crowded ana the
passengers were rushing to the DECK

a boat, and understand that it was the
second boat that was lowered. The
crew rushed in the boat lot OF wom-
en- who we're nearby My brother got
in the boat to protect the women. My
wife threatened to jump out OF the
boat II did not join her there, so then
| got in the boat, too.
I'VE rowed away in the lifeboat l
should think. for about mile. 1t was
black night. There was no light on the
Titanic, as the light there had gone
out, | am told, five minutes before she
sank
Il could not, of course, see the ship
go down at the distance we were, but
l heard the cries and screams of those
who were on the ship and, perhaps,
too, of those who were in the water
trying to save themselves by clinging
to lifepreservers. We heard these
cries for fully two hours, while we
were riding the waves mile away
Then the cries died down and finally
all was still, except the noise OF the
oars in our boat and the swish of the
waters.
$50 far as | know, none of the pas
sengers saved anything"
Felt as If They Were Invading a
Graveyard.
"The wireless operator aboard the
Carpathia received the first news OF
the Titanics collision before midnight
last Sunday" said John Scannell,
passenger on the Carpathia. I'VE
were ninety miles from the White
Star vessel and we headed for her at
once. | did not take note of the num-
Der of hours we occupied in reaching
the scene of the wreck, but, of course,
by the time we got there the Titanic
and most of her passengers and crew
were many fathoms deep in the Allan
tic. When the Carpatha's passengers
learned they were close to the spot
where the great ship had sunk we
felt as If we were invading grave
yard.
1--WE did not come across all the I'll
tanic's surviving lifeboats in single
fiotilla," the Westerner continued.
Our first glimpse of the survivors
was of those who occupied group OF
seven boats. The seven craft were
strung far enough apart for safety, yet
it was plain they had chung together
throughout the hours of waiting, and
it was said the fact was due to the ex-

Colonel Astor nor Mr.. and Mrs. Stcaus
made any effort to save themselves.
They seemed to realize that Il was
hopeless. | am convinced that Col
onel Aston could have saved himself
had he jumped into the water.
None of US were worried after the
crash. Many of the passengers, my
self included. went to bed. did not
rise from my bed until l heard the

Mrs. Astor In Lifeboat Four Hours.
Mrs. John Jacob Aston was In life
boat for four and half hours before
she was picked up by the Carpathia,
according to e. l. Talyor, who was saw
ed in the same boat. He would not,
however, tell of how she stood the
awful ordeal
Like all the others, he spoke of the
lack of comprehension among the pas
sengers, after the accident, that there
was the least danger. The iceberg
which wrecked the Titanic he estimat-
ed at eighty feet high, and he describ-
ed the impact as a sort of grinding,
glancing blow, which tore away the
ships bottom.

William Jones, stoker on the I'll
