be a real hardship to wear them all
at one time.
Perhaps the most costly collection
of Jewels in Washington are those
owned by Nine. Bakhmetieff. the
American wife Of the Russian ambas-
sador. She is known as the Jewel
lady" of the diplomatic corps.
Nine. Bakhmetieff owns the only
pink ruhies in America, and her set,
mined in Russia and envied by the
czarina herself, is priceless. They are
of . very pale pink and u perfectly
smooth. The fourteen of them, oval
in shape and ranging in size from,
a dollar to a dime, interviewer with
diamonds. form a band.like crown.
From the band extends upward an
inch-wide ribbon of gold and dia-

ings at this place. The commissioner
took the position that all farmers
should keep and milk cows and that
quite a complete record should be
Kept of what each COW does in milk
production and amount of butter fat,
to the end that the non-paying cows
can be determined and disposed of.
The commissioner is an enthusiast
on silos and strongly urges the, erec-
ton Of the cement silo. going so far as
to offer to furnish an expert to assist
any farmer who will put one up. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Flint. almost any farm
er can do the work himself with the
assistance the state offers through his
department. The construction Of a
cement silo was gone into in detail.
Several farmers gave their experi-
ences with silos the past year and in
each case the reports were favorable.
d. j. Buttles gave detailed figures
showing that his herd had produced
the annual revenue of $50 a head.

BURNED TO DEATH
Daughter Of Beach Resident Meet
Death I'm Accident.

Beach. n. D., Feb. 1.-The little 20
months old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Roy Boyer who reside seven miles
south Of this city was burned to death.
AS near as can be learned the mother
went out to call the husband to din
ner and the little inc was left in the
house alone. When the mother re-
turned a few minutes afterwards the
child was in flames.
The flames were quickly extinguish-
ed but the little one was burned so
severely that she died in a few hours.
Tho only way the fire could be ac-
counted for is the theory that the
child was in the act OF creeping un.
der the stove after the pet kitten, her
clothing coming in contact with tho
red hot stove and igniting.
