Monday night chicken and turkey
thieves were busy plying their trade
as q number OF chickens and turkeys
were missed from some of the fowl

Mr.. II. l. Tisdale was one of the
heaviest sufferers, the thief having
practically robbed him of all his chick

thief that ne wired over to Columbia

However. Maj. w. l.. Lee. about
$50 that morning. discovered one OF

found he had caught a Tartar, for

the only evidence being the fact that
the dogs had trailed him after he was

In the Woman's Home Companion
there is an interesting account Of
Nine. Paquin, who Is at the head Of
the most famous dressmak!n3 estab-

an extract from the article: ?.
IF anybody is qualified to explain
the mysterious processes by which
fashion in dress are imposed upon
the world, II must be the head of the
great Partisan House of Paquin in the
Rue de la Paix. Those who are i'm
polite enough to discuss such mat
ters, say that Madame Paquin may
be thirty-nine. always with the apollo
getic qualification that she looks at
least ten years younger. But all
agree that she is charming. There is
no doubt of the efficiency with which
she dominates the greatest dressmak.

anne Paquin assumed "the dictator

p!irase-makers will have it, in De-.
cember, 1907, upon the death of her
husband, that Monsieur Isador Paqun

the Minister of Commerce for his SER

eminent genius in his art. Mon

bride was an equally obscure little
dressmaker at the time Of their mar

were always accessible and always

Foods That arc Harmful to Children


The womans Home Companion in

Ing an article entitled How to Make
Babies Better" by DIR. Roger H. Den
nett q New York expert on childre~'s
dissAses. Following is an extract
from the article on the subject OF food
for children:
The indiscriminate eating of indi-
gestible food, such as many adults eat.
In a practice to be condemned. Fried
food Of any kind. with the exception of
steak or chops. is harmful to the child
because the fat with which it is fried
Is cooked into the food and surrounds

too many sweets. Remember that

ed amount of candy. cake. and deserts.
they will get enough sugar in some
form, in the course Of a week, to sup
ply all their needs. This restriction
OF sweets ought not to be a hardship
IL the child is fond of fruit. Instead
OF giving piece of cake or candy
between meals. or even for dessert, an
apple. pear. or peach will please him
tNet as well. and will be beneficial
Instead OF harmful. For some years
mothers have held the erroneous idea
that raw fruits are difficult to digest.
This is not true IL the fruit is neither
green nor over-ripe. If the child has
not sufficient teeth with which to chew
" the fruit should he given I'm mashed

''Indiscriminatc eating Is not the
only error In "a child's diet. The over
careful mother occasionally goes to

plan n healthful diet for her child.
For instance she does not allow any
thing hut milk and cereals throughout
the second year. for fear that solid
food cannot be digested. This lack oi
solid food really does harm. because

the child In much more like the adult
than during the first year. ana food
which approaches the adult diet

BIGGEST FARMS BIG WAYS.
Rankin Property i'm Missouri. Makes
100000 Profit i'm a Year.
New York Times.

New York Times.
Near Tarkio, Mo-, Isl the largest
tiliable farm in the United States
the property of four children of the
late David Rankin. 1t contains $4,000
acres and last year there were un-
der cultivation $4,000 acres in corn
5000 each in wheat and oats, and L..
500 in alfalfa. At $125 an acre the
land alone is worth almost $3,OOO,-
600. The profit on the entire farm for
one year recently was 100000.
The farm makes a specially Of cat
tie, for which practically the grain
grown is used. Five thousand cattle
were fed on the farm last year. 1t
was a theory Of David Rankin, and
1t is beng adhered to in the opera
ton of the farm today, tnat many
farmers sell too much raw material
and not enough Of the finished pro.
duct To an inquirer he said once,
Il find it profitable to feed corn, and
gain an immense amount of fertiliz-
er. Tus l leave my farm as rich as
found it," .-
Horses and mules are not permit
ted to grow old on the Rankin farms
Every year a sale is held there where
every horse and mule that has reach-
ed respectable age is disposed Of.
Practically every year the stables
are filled with a fresh population Of
work animals insuring the maximum
OF efficiency. At the last sale 35Y
horses and mules were sold and the
proceeds Of the sale netted more than
$4,000. Buyers come hundreds of
miles to Tarkio to attend these
sales.
No manufacturing concern in
America keeps closer tab on it's bust
ness than do the Rankin. farms. In

the rear of the First National bank

machine are busy with books from

the farm is kept at the central Office
Not a pound of soap, not a box of
matches is bought without a requisi-
ton. signed by the foreman if the
farm is operated directly or by the
partner if tho farm is operated on the
partnership plan. Each foreman and
partner must submit a monthly re-
port, which is virtually an inventory
Of the whole area and stock and
machinery. When the books are bal
anced at the close Of the year a
statement is made just as complete
as any business corporation could
submit.
The farm is not as large by more
than 1000 acres as it was when Da-
vid Rankin died in 1909. One thou
sand acres were sold last summer and
1000 acres a year ago. One of the
axioms of David Rankin was: "Never
sell the farm" But the heirs of Mr.
Rankin are trying to make the farm
more compact, so that it Gan be oper-
ated with greater economy Eventu-
ally it will probably be reduced to
about 5000 acres and divided among
the four heirs.
But if the Missouri farm acreage
has been reduced the loss has been
made up in other states. The Rankin
estate recently bought 4.5CO acres OF
land near Liberal Kan, and about .,
900 acres near O'Neill, Neb.
