SCALES ON FARM
GOOD INVESTMENT
Average Farmer Does Not Real
ize How Much He Loses Each
Year by Lack of Device.
DIV r. 3. RUsHINGl


do not believe the average farmer
realizes how much he loses each year
because he has not pair of good,
reliable scales located on the farm.
Nearly all of the farmers produce is
sold by weight, and it is not enough
to stand by and see it weighed on the
buyers scales. You should have set
of your own in your yard so that you
may be sure you are getting all you
are entitled to. | do not mean to In
sinuate that buyers are dishonest. but
mistakes are sometimes too easily
made
If you feed a number of hogs you
should have a pair of platform scales
to weigh them on when you COM
mence to feed them. and then by
weighing the grain that is fed them
you should be able to tell whether
you were doing it at a profit and how
much. When you are ready to deliver
to market it takes just few minutes
to weigh your wagon empty and again
after the hogs are loaded, and then
you are able to tell where you are.
OF course you must allow little for
shrinkage. From my own experience
would say fat hogs will shrink about
two pounds apiece. drawing four
miles
Here in southern Illinois many of
the hogs and cattle are sold to the
buyers, who come and buy them at
the farm. and unless pair of scales
are at hand they are generally lump
ed off This, Of course, is too Cncer-
tain. The buyers are buying all the
time and are very apt to make a price
that is more than safe for themselves.
Besides there is not the satisfaction
in the deal that there is where you
see them weighed on your own
scales
When you go to the market to buy
a piece of meat or to the grocery for
sugar it is never Jumped off. but care
fully weighed, and l believe that it
is poor rule that won't work both
ways. If it pays these people to have
scales, why will 1t not pay you?
If you are a farmer that does not
feed stock but sell your hay and
grain to feeders, you certainly do
need a pair of scales. You cannot
afford to guess off load of hay. What
you would lose in this way in year
would usually buy pair of good
scales II you do much business II
you sell your corn to feeders you are
liable to lose money by guessing on
crib of corn or by measuring 1t.
This. as you plainly see. is not a safe
way to do business.
When you draw your wheat, oats or
rye to market and try to load about
the same every time you may find
that the loads vary 200 pounds or
more. No use to kick, unless you
kick yourself because you have not
bought a pair of scales. for they are
constantly being advertised in the
best farm journals.
The first year had my scales got
enough more money on two deals to
half pay for the scales. One was g
load of wheat that fell short 500
pounds. and the other was wool. and
stfll some will say 1t does not pay to
bother with weighing everything you
sell. They are satisfied as long as
they can see the weighing done. but
even this is not always safe.

During the hot weather many farm
ers fail to give their cream the prop
er attention. In order to have it in
the best condition the milk must be
clean, that is. the cows must be clean
and free from any dirt that might
drop into the milk during the process
OF milking. The mixers should have
clean, dry hands and the milk pals
must be clean
The cream separator should be
taken apart and thoroughly cleaned

clean hot water.
Experience teaches me that it is
better to run the milk through the
separator as soon as possible after
milking, while it is yet warm. this
leaves the skimmilk in prime condi-
ton for feeding calves and pigs and
the cream should be cooled at once.

Honest Bankers Convicted.

In the conviction of Eugene T.
Buhler and Joseph H. Gomila the
law has been vindicated and justice
has triumphed. The convicted, men
of families, had been entrusted with
great responsibilities, as they were
ranked as honest men, but they
abused their trust, engaged in spec
ulation and wrecked the Teutonia
Bank. In the conviction of these
two men is the demonstration that
honesty is the best policy" Had
these two men been honest they
would not now be overwhelmed
with remorse, nor would their wive:
and their chickren be racked with
their discredit for which they are
not bIameable. But in such cases the
innocent must suffer nevertheless.

A BOLD RESCUE
Several Negroes OverpOWer Deputy
and Compel Him to Surrender His
PriSOller, a Negro.

Intense excitement prevails at
Jonesville and Marshall, Texas, over
the bold rescue of a negro who was
in the custody of deputy sheriff.
The negro was handcuffed. He had
been arrested near Jonesville, Tex
as. The deputy was near one of the
big orchards, when he was con-
fronted by several negroes, all
armed, who compelled the officer to
surrender the negro to them, after
he had been forced to remove the
manacles from the negro. The Of
ficer was then placed ahead of
the gang of negroes and ordered
to proceed towards the lake. He was
assured that he would not BE-
harmed. This statement is from
Sheriff Sanders of Harrison County
to Sheriff FlOurnOy. On receiving
this telegram Sheriff Flournoy ad-
vised Blanchard and MOoringsport,
from which crowds have been gath
cred and are in search of the
deputy.
This is the boldest act recorded in
years. Should the gang of negroes
be met there will be enacted trag-
edy from which probably not one
will escape.

The Barefield Murder.

WIN reference W your SpeCldl
charge relative to the Barefield
murder, it is our opinion from the
evidence presented that the deed
was committed by some person we'll
acquainted with Barefield's habits
and probably well known to him.
The whole surroundings of the case
point to this theory alone, for none
other seems tenable. Barefield was
sitting in his chair. He was no doubt
in conversation with the murderer
and the blow which killed him was
delivered from behind, proving thai
Barefeld was unsuspicious of his
visitor. Barefeld had money, which
he carried about his person and this
was known to the murderer. The
deed was evidently committed soon
after Barefield entered the room,
and in the morning, as newspaper
unopened and which Barefield inva-
riably read was on bench beside
his chair. The door by which one
usually enters and to which Bare
field had a key was found locked
from the inside, and a door from the
rear leading out of the building was
found open through which the mur-
derer escaped.
1t is our opinion that the murder
er if ever apprehended will be
found to have been no stranger tC
Barefield nor Barefield to him. We
would respectfully suggest that ouI

ward for the apprehension of the
